Chapter 16: Sing the song that suits your situation



That day, Wang Xiaomai not only ate the fragrant oil residue, but also ate fried cabbage with oil residue.

As for steamed buns, dumplings, braised pork, etc., Chen Qiangwei didn't think of taking them out. These two pounds of fat were more important than anything else. She took them out mainly because she didn't want to eat the bland boiled cabbage in soup.

Any more and it’s over.

Everyone has her own self-esteem, and some things are too much or too little.

As a return gift to Sister Hong, Gu Sannai asked Chen Qiangwei to put it away.

Because Chen Qiangwei got a pound and a half of pork, she only needed to use half of the food every day for the next month, and she didn't need to use any vegetables for half a year.

The educated youth in the team didn't want to work hard growing vegetables, so they found someone in the village and gave him 30 cents a month so that he could eat as much vegetables as he wanted from the vegetable garden.

There is a vegetable garden in the yard of Gu Sannai's house, where she grows a lot of vegetables, especially sweet potato leaves and leeks. These two kinds of vegetables grow well, so there is no shortage of vegetables to eat.

As a family member of a martyr, Gu Sannai could receive 15 yuan, 10 kilograms of fine grains and 30 kilograms of coarse grains from the commune every month.

The Huaihua Brigade also gave Gu Sannai two kilograms of fine grains and ten kilograms of coarse grains every month, which she could not finish.

Gu Sannai didn't need the three cents, so she just asked Wang Xiaomai to take care of the vegetable garden and didn't charge her for the vegetables.

Wang Xiaomai was overjoyed and agreed immediately. She knew that Gu Sannai was taking care of her.

Gu Sannai's vegetable garden is not very big, and there is a well in the yard. She just needs to water the vegetable garden once before dinner every day.

This is not a big deal at all, and it’s not summer yet, so the vegetable garden only needs to be watered once every two or three days.

night.

Listening to Wang Xiaomai smacking her lips and occasionally saying "It's delicious", Chen Qiangwei felt a little amused and a little annoyed.

What’s funny is that Wang Xiaomai can’t forget these little things and even thinks about them in his dreams.

This made Chen Qiangwei, who had eaten all kinds of delicacies from land and sea and was picky about them after becoming rich in her previous life, feel simple and cute.

The trouble was that she was not used to sleeping in the same bed with others. On the first night, she was so tired that she just fell asleep on the pillow.

Now this body is young and full of energy. After resting yesterday afternoon, her spirit has almost recovered.

Last night, Chen Qiangwei had difficulty falling asleep even though Wang Xiaomai didn't talk in her sleep, and she will be even more unable to sleep tonight.

Even though Wang Xiaomai had fallen asleep, Chen Qiangwei still didn't dare to risk entering the space. She had tested it and found that the space couldn't sense any movement from the outside world. If Wang Xiaomai woke up in the middle of the night, it would be a disaster.

Moreover, the space was not like some of the space novels she had read, where people could control the space with their thoughts without having to enter.

Thinking of her 1.5-meter bed, she felt that if she just endured it for a few days, she would be able to sleep soundly. With the mosquito net drawn, no one would notice her entering the space.

Thinking of the barren space and the stored seeds, Chen Qiangwei resigned herself to her fate and got up.

If it were someone else, with space in hand, she would definitely be the heroine holding the heroine's script.

But for her, she was the unlucky one who had to work overtime, hiding in the toilet and sneaking into the space to work.

Fortunately, the toilet at Gu Sannai's house was not like the dry toilets in the village when I was a child. As soon as you entered, the floor was full of maggots and flies were buzzing around inside.

The toilet in Gu Sannai's house was specially built by the team leader Gu Aiguo. The squat toilet was connected to a slope with several long stone slabs on it. The cesspool was outside the house. After using the toilet, it could be cleaned by flushing it with water.

It is said that Huaihua Brigade also had dry toilets in the past. Later, after everyone visited the toilet at Gu Sannai's house, they followed suit when they returned home.

They have a stone mountain here. They can find a big stone on the mountain and borrow tools from the brigade to grind it.

Of course, some people are too lazy and just dig a deep pit and put two stone slabs on the pit. However, this is much cleaner than a dry toilet.

Chen Qiangwei tiptoed to the bathroom, locked the door from the inside and quickly entered the space.

She first went to the thatched house, took out a shovel and a bag of seeds, and prepared to turn the soil and plant vegetables.

Although life became better in my previous life, as a rural kid, the work of plowing the soil and growing vegetables was ingrained in my bones.

The four plots of yellow land were still bare, but the work of weeding was saved. Chen Qiangwei immediately started working with a shovel without saying a word, sweating profusely.

Considering that she had to go to work tomorrow, Chen Qiangwei did not try to be brave and only turned over half an acre of land.

After the land is turned over, we start to level the land and make ridges and borders to make the land into a rectangle.

Chen Qiangwei opened the paper bag containing the vegetable seeds, grabbed the seeds with her hands and scattered them evenly on the ground, then went to the well to fetch water to irrigate the fields.

The yellow soil, which had not responded at all after being irrigated with so much water during the day, is now visibly moist.

Chen Qiangwei rubbed her eyes, looked at the ladle in her hand, and then looked at the moist soil. If she hadn't bought this wooden ladle herself, she would have doubted whether this wooden ladle had any magical powers.

She scooped up a bucket of water and poured it on the land where no seeds were sown, but there was no reaction.

Chen Qiangwei thought about it, grabbed some seeds and scattered them randomly on the unturned soil, then watered the ground, but there was still no reaction.

Now, Chen Qiangwei finally understood the nature of the space. Only when the land was tidied and sprinkled with seeds would it react. Any other efforts would be useless.

Chen Qiangwei was silent for a long time at this realization. Dog Space! Her thoughts of being lazy were nipped in the bud.

After all the busy work, Chen Qiangwei successfully worked up a sweat. It was cold now and taking a cold shower was impossible.

Gu Sannai is an old woman who sleeps lightly. Boiling water for a bath makes too much noise and might wake people up. Chen Qiangwei just wiped the sweat off her body with a wet towel.

Then Chen Qiangwei looked at her watch and saw that it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Although the half-acre of land was not big, Chen Qiangwei was exhausted after not doing farm work for a long time. She finally fell asleep to the sound of Wang Xiaomai's breathing.

"Sister Weiwei, get up, or you'll be late."

Chen Qiangwei frowned and waved her hand, trying to drive away the annoying voice.

Wang Xiaomai continued to push Chen Qiangwei, "Sister Weiwei, get up and have breakfast, we will be going to work soon." Breakfast was already ready, and they were just waiting for Sister Weiwei to get up.

The words "go to work" successfully woke Chen Qiangwei up. Looking at the dawn outside, Chen Qiangwei got up resignedly and said, "Thank you, Xiaomai. I almost overslept."

Wang Xiaomai smiled shyly. She was not as wealthy as Sister Weiwei and had always taken advantage of her. Being able to do something for Chen Qiangwei made her feel that she was no longer a burden or a person who needed to be taken care of.

Sing the song that suits the mountain you are on. Today, I will go to the fields to work with everyone. Chen Qiangwei followed the crowd and tied two pigtails. After putting on her clothes, she put on a coarse cloth dress.

This coarse cloth dress was worn by my aunt in the past. It is quite old and has many patches on it. It is just right for wearing to work.

It is human nature to love beauty, but inappropriate vanity will only annoy others.

What? You mean yesterday?

Can it be the same?

People always respect clothes first and then people. She went to visit "relatives" in the city yesterday, so of course she had to dress nicely.
