Chapter 110 Help

On the mountain, Jiang Cuihua had already knocked all the chestnuts off the trees.

Liu Yinyin just picked chestnuts.

Finally, both baskets were almost full.

Jiang Cuihua's face was wrinkled with smile. With so many chestnuts, the family could have enough food to eat for many days.

After a busy afternoon, it was already very late when the two of them went down the mountain carrying the backpacks.

When I got home, Gu Chengdu was already there. He came home from get off work and didn't see anyone, so he came to Liujia Village to pick someone up.

Jiang Cuihua smiled and said happily, "We'll have dinner at home in the evening."

Gu Cheng hugged Gu Yanyan without saying anything. He also didn't want to cause trouble for the Liu family. Food was precious at that time, and it was not appropriate to eat at someone else's house.

In fact, Liu Yinyin didn’t want to go back. She wanted to go to the mountains to look for wild mushrooms tomorrow.

Thinking about it, she said to Gu Cheng: "Let's have dinner here tonight, and then...stay here for one night?"

Otherwise it would be troublesome to go back and forth all the time.

Anyway, she had nothing to do in the county town. She could just let the house air out for a day and move in tomorrow.

"Okay." Liu Yinyin wanted to stay here, so Gu Cheng naturally had no objection.

Living in the county town, both mother and son were really bored.

Gu Yanyan always seemed happier in the countryside.

However, the two of them still went to the end of the village together.

Gu Yanyan was left at the Liu family, where Jiang Cuihua took care of him, and he also had several cousins ​​to play with him. The little guy was very happy.

Liu Yinyin went home to collect her clothes. Gu Cheng broke open the door that had previously sealed the cellar and went in to check the food inside.

There is no problem.

In addition to food, there were a dozen sacks of dried wild vegetables in the cellar.

Liu Yinyin thought: "I want to send the dried wild vegetables to the village canteen."

There were so many dried wild vegetables at home that they couldn't eat them all. Besides, they had no shortage of food.

Liu Yinyin would stock up on dried wild vegetables, on the one hand to feed the chickens and pigs, on the other hand...

It is also for the people in the village. Besides, these wild vegetables were originally dug by the children.

It is not surprising for the villagers now, and she hopes that the villagers can get through this difficult time.

In addition to dried wild vegetables, there are also rabbits...

Thinking of the rabbit, Liu Yinyin discussed with Gu Cheng: "What do you think...if I take the rabbit to Aunt Li, can I exchange it for some food for the village?"

Rabbit meat is edible, but it is more economical to switch to grain.

Gu Cheng glanced at Liu Yinyin obscurely, and rarely did he disagree with her: "Just exchange the food with Aunt Li without calculating the cost."

Let’s not talk about whether Aunt Li is willing or not. Even if she can exchange it, as a business, it must be profitable. It would be better to go directly to the source owner for the exchange.

For example, he and Zhao Jianguo directly exchanged food with people in the mountains, thus saving the price difference in the middle.

Liu Yinyin: “…”

Isn't she still thinking about smuggling some food out from space?

Liu Yinyin wanted to sell the dried wild vegetables to the canteen, and Gu Cheng had no objection, but she wanted to exchange them for food for the villagers.

Gu Cheng does not agree with her doing this. Doing such a thing is too risky. Even if Liu Yinyin means well, can you guarantee that everyone in the village will be grateful to her?

If someone has evil intentions, it will be bad for Liu Yinyin.

Gu Cheng said to her, "Don't worry about this matter. I will talk to the village chief later and ask him to find other units to exchange food."

Originally, collective affairs should be participated in by the collective.

This is different from Liu Yinyin's usual petty quarrels.

Liu Yinyin's eyes widened: "Is this possible?"

In the past, she wouldn't have said anything, but this year is a bad year and I'm afraid there will be a food shortage everywhere.

"It's possible." said Gu Cheng.

There are rabbits in Liujia Village. As long as you have the connections, it is not difficult to exchange them for food.

Since he said so, Liu Yinyin didn't care.

After feeding the chickens and rabbits at home, the two of them went to Liu's house, carrying some clothes to change into and a basket of cornmeal and eggs.

Dinner is almost the same as lunch.

The chestnuts picked today need to be put in a bag and kept warm so that they will be easier to peel and take out the flesh when they are ripe.

Jiang Cuihua said while eating that when the chestnuts are ripe, she will give half to Liu Yinyin.

At night, the family of three slept in the room where Liu Yinyin had slept before. Jiang Cuihua had just cleaned the room.

The next day was another sunny day.

Just like yesterday, Liu Yinyin went home to do some cleaning in the morning, and in the afternoon, she went to the mountains to pick mushrooms with Jiang Cuihua.

Liu Yinyin not only picked mushrooms, but also dug wild vegetables. Just like before, when digging wild vegetables, Liu Yinyin did not forget to sow some wild vegetable seeds on the ground.

There is still one or two months before winter. I hope another crop of wild vegetables can grow on the mountain.

She left Gu Yanyan to be taken care of by Liu Ersao.

Liu Yinyin gave Liu Ersao a bag of brown sugar and a bag of red dates as a reward.

It just so happened that Mrs. Liu was pregnant, and these things could help her replenish her body.

Mrs. Liu was also happy, and she took even better care of Gu Yanyan than she would her own daughter.

In the blink of an eye, another half month passed and it was early October.

Everyone in the village has finished their work. They have harvested less than 20% of the sweet potatoes in the fields, but it is better than nothing.

Relying on less than 20% of the sweet potatoes, the villagers have to survive until next autumn harvest.

So, after finishing their work in the fields, many more people went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables.

Even the wild vegetables on several nearby hills were almost picked clean.

If you want to pick wild vegetables now, you have to climb over mountains and walk a long way.

During this period, Liu Yinyin harvested a large bag of dried wild mushrooms, weighing more than ten pounds, nearly twenty kilograms.

Moreover, Liu Yinyin also secretly sold a lot of them to the system. Just by selling fresh wild mushrooms, Liu Yinyin earned nearly two thousand yuan.

Not only wild mushrooms, Liu Yinyin also dug a lot of wild vegetables. She did not sell the wild vegetables to the system, but had to keep them to feed the pigs.

As for the ten sacks of wild vegetables stored in the cellar, Gu Chengdu took them to the village canteen a few days ago.

Gu Cheng also helped find buyers for the rabbits in the village, and Liu Changquan could have people send the rabbits to the state-owned hotels or material transport teams in the county town. Both of these units could exchange them for food.

State-owned hotels certainly do not lack food supplies, but they lack meat resources.

The transport team transported supplies to all parts of the country. Rabbits could be made into bacon or salted meat and taken to other places to exchange for supplies.

Not all parts of the country were affected.

Liu Changquan was very grateful, so Li Chunfang also gave Liu Yinyin two kilograms of lotus root powder, which was given to her by her parents.

The current environment is difficult. Even if Liu Changquan wants to compensate Liu Yinyin with other things, he does not have the conditions to do so.

Liu Yinyin quite likes lotus root starch. She adds some chopped red dates and brown sugar to it and mixes it. It is delicious and good for health. Gu Yanyan can also eat some of it. The little guy quite likes it.

That morning, Liu Yinyin was sitting in the yard, eating a bowl of lotus root starch.

Mrs. Liu came to the door carrying a big bag.

During this period, Liu Ersao's parents sent a lot of things over.
