"Xiaoxiao, let's go up the mountain to pick mushrooms."
The day after Qin Yushen left, the textile factory underwent internal rectification, and Lin Xiaoxiao was to take two days off.
Early in the morning, Sister Wang, Sister Hu, and Sister Lü came to her door.
It rained lightly last night, so there should be plenty of mushrooms on the mountain today.
"Here you are." Lin Xiaoxiao said, carrying a basket.
When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, we thought they had arrived early enough, but it turned out that there were many people who had arrived even earlier than them.
"Lin Xiaoxiao is here too?" Someone saw Lin Xiaoxiao and quickly called her over. "I have lots of mushrooms here, come and pick some."
There were indeed a lot of mushrooms at her place, a dense, large patch. Lin Xiaoxiao and Sister Wang didn't stand on ceremony and joined the mushroom-picking army.
"Sister Huang, how come you're carrying two baskets on your back all by yourself? How will you be able to carry them back?"
Sister Huang smiled and picked mushrooms quickly, not missing even the smallest ones. "They're heavy enough to carry on my back."
Even if you don't weigh it down, it still can't withstand being carried in such a big basket.
However, everyone knows about Huang's difficulties. She has six children, and her husband only receives a small monthly allowance. They eat two meals a day, which puts a lot of pressure on him.
Not to mention that her husband is the only son in his family, and he has to take care of his two elderly parents back home, sending at least five yuan back every month.
When you calculate it this way, not to mention being full, going hungry is a frequent occurrence.
You could tell just by looking at Sister Huang's complexion; it was sallow and yellow, her hair was sparse like dry straw, and she was extremely thin.
The mountain behind the military base is under its jurisdiction, and the fact that families can improve their lives using resources from the mountain is something the military is happy to see.
With so many mushrooms on the mountain, pick as many as you can. When the weather is nice, dry them and they can be preserved for a long time. They're also a great ingredient.
People flock to anything that is edible.
"Xiao Lin is so lucky. He has a job and earns money every month, and his family has no burdens," a sister-in-law said enviously.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
you do not say.
“It’s a pity I’m uneducated; the army couldn’t even assign me a job,” one of the women said.
There are so many wives and daughters-in-law in the family compound, and the military always tries to find ways to solve their employment problems.
Those with high levels of education have good career prospects, such as becoming teachers or working in the publicity department.
Those with little education can only wait and see if the cafeteria needs any odd jobs.
Job opportunities are scarce, and everyone is hoping for one. Some of the wives have been with the military for many years but have not been assigned a job. Basically, no one has any expectations for work.
But this did not diminish their envy of Lin Xiaoxiao.
I was even more envious when I heard that Lin Xiaoxiao found her job herself.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't participate in these topics, focusing instead on picking mushrooms.
We walked a little further into the mountains, and stopped after filling the basket.
"Alas?"
At that moment, she spotted the hole hidden in the grass.
Judging from its size, it should be a rabbit hole.
After searching around, I found several more holes of similar size.
He took out a dumpling from his spatial storage, and a scent that only animals could detect wafted out.
Lin Xiaoxiao brought the dumpling close to the hole, and three seconds later, a gray rabbit ran out of the hole.
She grabbed the rabbit and tied its legs with grass.
"My goodness, Xiaoxiao, how did you catch that? These things are so cunning!" Sister Wang said with some envy as she looked at the plump rabbit in Xiaoxiao's hand.
This rabbit is so big that after being skinned, it probably weighs at least three pounds.
Three pounds of meat!
It's free, who wouldn't be envious?
Many of the women saw Lin Xiaoxiao and asked her for advice on how to catch rabbits.
Lin Xiaoxiao led them to the rabbit hole and said, "To catch rabbits, you have to find their holes first, scare them out, and then you can catch them in one go."
The sisters-in-law: "......"
The problem is they might not be able to catch them.
Everyone knows how agile rabbits are.
They didn't have Lin Xiaoxiao's quick reflexes, so even if they found the rabbit hole, it would be difficult to catch the rabbit.
Lin Xiaoxiao added, "Or, if you find the right moment, you can put the basket on and the rabbit won't be able to escape."
The women's wives thought it was a good idea.
Now they don't even bother picking mushrooms anymore.
Following Lin Xiaoxiao's example, they started looking for rabbit holes. Once they found one, they would take a stick and poke around inside the hole. Nine times out of ten, the rabbits that ran out were caught.
Some rabbits just wouldn't come out, which made the woman so angry that she started digging with her bare hands.
The craving for meat takes over the brain.
But the clever rabbit dug three interconnected holes and escaped through one of them.
That made the sister-in-law so angry she jumped up and down.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows; it's truly a clever rabbit.
As it turned out, the sisters-in-law's fighting power was not to be underestimated. They dug up all the rabbit holes around them, and even the holes in the trees were not spared. In the end, they raided the little squirrel's house.
Little Squirrel: Family, does anyone understand? The sky has fallen.
In the end, everyone returned home with a bountiful harvest.
To thank Lin Xiaoxiao for teaching them the method, the women enthusiastically contributed handfuls of mushrooms, managing to gather a whole basket for her.
Even Sister Huang grabbed two large handfuls of mushrooms.
Because she also caught a rabbit.
That evening, the air above the family compound was filled with the aroma of meat.
The children, after eating meat, smiled more often.
For the next period of time, the women went up the mountain every day. In the first two days, you could still vaguely see a few of them coming back with rabbits.
But after a few days, not a single one could be seen.
The rabbits in the places they could go had been caught almost all, and the women dared not go to other places.
