Chapter 209 Resignation

That day, Liu Yinyin had just returned from the county town.

After breakfast in the morning, she went to the county town to get the cotton back.

By the way, I sold 50 kilograms of cornmeal to Aunt Zhou, at three yuan per kilogram, and made a profit of 150 yuan.

In addition, she asked Aunt Zhou to help her find out if there was any family that still wanted to buy food.

After a while, she would take the food to the county town to sell.

As soon as she returned home, Li Chunfang came to see her and brought her two kilograms of soybeans.

Every winter, Li Chunfang would exchange a lot of soybeans with others.

There is no vegetable to eat in winter, but soybeans can sprout, which is also a rare delicacy.

Liu Yinyin poured her a cup of hot water.

After a few pleasantries, Li Chunfang finally told the purpose of her visit: "Yinyin, I heard that... you grew some vegetables at home?"

A village is so small that if anything happens, it will spread from one end of the village to the other in less than half a day.

At this time, the fact that the Liu family grows vegetables at home is almost known to everyone in the village.

When it comes to food, it’s a big deal.

So, Li Chunfang could no longer sit still, and she went to Liu's house to find Jiang Cuihua.

She said that the idea was thought up by Liu Yinyin.

The vegetables planted by the Liu family have not sprouted yet.

What you hear is far less shocking than what you see with your own eyes.

Li Chunfang couldn't help it and wanted to come to Liu Yinyin's house to see it with her own eyes.

Liu Yinyin had no intention of hiding it from the beginning. She hoped that this method of growing vegetables could help the villagers overcome their difficulties.

It's a good thing.

Liu Yinyin told her: "The vegetables have been grown. Can I take you to see them?"

Li Chunfang nodded hurriedly. This was also the reason why she came here.

Green vegetables grow fast. After so many days, the vegetables in the pigpen have grown very lush.

It is lush, fresh and tender, and looks very pleasing to the eye.

Liu Yinyin takes care of the vegetables very carefully, and the vegetables in the pigpen are growing lushly.

Li Chunfang simply couldn't believe her eyes: "...Oh my god, this can really grow vegetables."

It was icy and snowy outside, with not a single bit of green to be seen.

Anyone would be excited when suddenly seeing so many lush green vegetables.

Liu Yinyin was also very excited at the beginning, but now she is quite calm: "As long as the temperature is right, the vegetables can grow. However, you have to take care of them carefully and keep an eye on the temperature in the room. Otherwise, it's easy to give up."

Li Chunfang nodded: "This is already very good."

For country people, a little trouble is nothing; they have plenty of time to waste.

Besides, there is nothing to do in winter.

Li Chunfang sighed: "If everyone in the village can grow vegetables at home, life will definitely be better in the future."

It looked like the weather would never get warmer. The trees on the mountain were all bare, and there was nothing to eat.

This long winter has been hard to endure for the villagers.

Now...with this method of growing vegetables, everyone's life becomes more hopeful.

that is......

Li Chunfang was a little embarrassed: "Otherwise, there is no problem. We are all farmers. Who doesn't know how to grow vegetables? It's just... this earthen stove. Not many people in the village know how to make it."

Liu Yinyin said, "Gu Chenghui, if the villagers want to build an earthen stove, they can ask him. Also, my brothers have almost learned how to do it, so they should be able to help."

Li Chunfang didn't know what to say. She patted Liu Yinyin's hand and said with relief: "You two are great benefactors of the village. Without you, we would not be able to survive."

The key is that the couple are generous and do things without asking for anything in return. Just like when they built the earthen stove, they were willing to teach the method to the villagers without saying a word.

If it were anyone else...it would be impossible for them to be so generous.

Liu Yinyin smiled shyly: "The villagers are very caring towards us."

This is true, except for a previous theft.

Liu Yinyin's life in the village was relatively peaceful, and she had never had any conflicts with other people, otherwise she would not have been able to live here.

Li Chunfang said: "Anyway, we can't teach others to build earthen stoves for nothing. You can just accept some benefits and no one will say anything."

Liu Yinyin smiled but didn't say anything to refuse. She and Gu Cheng didn't need any benefits.

But the people in the Liu family are different, and there is no reason for Liu Yinyin to drag them to do volunteer work together.

Therefore, for a period of time thereafter, there was a craze in Liujia Village for growing vegetables with earthen stoves.

Because of this, the villagers' mental outlook has improved a lot recently. People have hope and expectations. They are no longer as sad and sighing as before.

Time flies, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye.

The weather is still cold, with no sign of warming up. In recent days, the snow has been falling heavier, as if wrapping the whole world in silver.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of snow. When I stepped on it, half of my leg sank into it.

In this kind of weather, the villagers’ travel was greatly hindered, let alone going up the mountain.

There was no way to go to the county town, so Liu Yinyin originally wanted to let Gu Cheng live in the staff compound to make it convenient for him to go to work.

She herself could not leave, and the chickens, rabbits and vegetables in the pigpen at home could not leave her.

But two days ago, Gu Cheng had already resigned from the steel plant.

Next, after taking care of things at home, he would have to return to the army, which actually only took a few days.

All the things that needed to be moved from the county town have been moved back.

Food was also transported back in small quantities.

Fortunately, Liu Yinyin sold a lot of food during this period, otherwise the cellar would not be able to store it.

Others may not believe it, but with so much food at home, Liu Yinyin actually felt worried.

And... suddenly thinking of something, Liu Yinyin asked Gu Cheng: "By the way, how are the arrangements at your home?"

Before, Gu Cheng would deliver food to the Gu family on time every month, but what would happen if he left?

It was impossible for Liu Yinyin to take his place and deliver food to Gu's family every month.

Gu Cheng said: "I will deliver the last batch of food later, and after that... it will be the same as before, giving some pension money every month."

There was nothing he could do about it. If he returned to the army, he would only be able to go home a few times a year, and naturally he would not be able to deliver food to the Gu family on time.

Liu Yinyin nodded and asked, "Have you told them that you are going back to the army?"

"Not yet, let's talk about it later." Gu Cheng said that the people at home probably didn't care about this, as long as they didn't lose any money.

Seeing that he didn't care much about it, Liu Yinyin didn't mention the family matters anymore.

Gu Cheng has been staying at home and not going to work these days.
