Chapter 476 The Control Group of the 1960s’ Beloved Heroine 20
Su Jianshe and Liu Xiaomei were busy, and by the time they had put everything in place and made the kang, it was already completely dark.
The couple was exhausted after a busy day, but they still forced themselves to stew an egg custard for Su Li. As for themselves?
Each person ate a few thumb-sized pieces of dried sweet potatoes and roasted some corn kernels, and that was enough for another meal.
It wasn't that they weren't hungry after a day of hard work, but there were only 20 kilograms of food, and neither the couple dared to eat more than a bite, fearing that they would eat it all and then starve to death.
If Su Jianshe had not seen the ending in his dream, he would not have accepted the division so calmly.
Before going to bed, Liu Xiaomei was still worried, thinking that she must go dig more wild vegetables tomorrow and leave all the coarse grains for her daughter to eat.
As a result, when I woke up early the next morning and stepped out of the door, I saw two fainted gray rabbits in the yard and three pheasants wandering around the yard as if they were drunk.
Su Jianshe also saw it. He was only surprised for a moment, as if it was a piece of cake falling from the sky. He quickly caught and tied up several pheasants in one go.
"Hey, wife, yesterday I was worrying about how I was going to get through the day. I woke up to find meat delivered to my door. Hey... Looks like God is happy for us to be out of this misery!"
Su Jianshe shook the three pheasants flapping their wings in his hands. He estimated that they weighed about 10 to 20 kilograms. If he took them to the black market, he would definitely be able to sell them for a good price.
As for the incident in his dream where he was caught in the black market?
Although all the things that happened in the dream were bad, it did broaden his horizons and let him know a lot of things that he didn't know now.
Su Jianshe is not the kind of person who would give up eating because of choking. Going to the black market is dangerous, but if he doesn't go to the black market, his whole family may starve to death.
He still understands the principle of choosing the lesser of two evils.
Su Jianshe stared at the gray rabbit and pheasant with his eyes flashing, silently calculating in his mind how much he could get in return if he sold them.
The family is short of everything now. No matter how he calculates, a few chickens don’t seem to be able to exchange for much. Should he go up the mountain to have a look?
He is not greedy. He just wants to bring back the silly roe deer in his dream. As long as he sells the roe deer, he will have milk powder for his daughter!
Su Li was taken to the Su family by Xiao Fenghuang and Su Tuantuan last night to handle important matters, and he is still sleeping soundly on the kang.
She had no idea that the meat she had Su Tuantuan catch to nourish her adoptive parents had caused her adoptive father to think about going to the black market again.
However, even if she knew, she would not stop him. She had already used dreams to make him awaken his memories of his past life. If he was still easily caught like a headless fly, he would have to suffer.
Anyway, with her, Su Tuantuan and Xiao Fenghuang here, even if they are caught, the worst that can happen is that they lose a few more talismans and let Su Tuantuan rescue the people.
Even though she thought so, when she woke up and heard Su Jianshe and Liu Xiaomei say that he was going to the black market, she still pulled Su Tuantuan out of the space and asked him to protect Su Jianshe.
After Su Jianshe left, Liu Xiaomei continued to sort out things at home. Now, even if they went to work in the brigade, there would be no food to distribute to them, so the couple asked the brigade leader for two days of leave on the grounds that they had just separated and needed to sort out household affairs.
After she finished her housework, she fed Su Li some rice porridge, then tied Su Li to her chest, carried a bamboo basket on her back, and went out towards the back mountain.
The year was bad and every household was short of food. Even in April, there were no edible wild vegetables to be found at the foot of the mountain.
Liu Xiaomei had no intention of wasting time at the foot of the mountain and went straight up the mountain. She did not dare to walk around randomly and only dared to walk along the road that people in the village came out of.
The advantage of taking this road is that it is easier to walk on and not as dangerous. The disadvantage is that there are too many people walking on it and not even two edible wild vegetables can be found along the way.
She could only walk while searching for wild vegetables more carefully, and unknowingly she walked deep into the forest.
At this time, her backpack was already filled with wild vegetables. Liu Xiaomei wiped the sweat from her forehead and was in a good mood.
"I'm so lucky today. I actually dug up a basket of wild vegetables. If I save some, I should be able to eat them..."
Liu Xiaomei suddenly paused in the middle of her words, her eyes wide open as she looked around, as if she had just realized that she had entered the mountains, her face turned pale with fright.
Since she was a child, she had heard from the elders in the village that there were many ferocious beasts in the depths of the mountains. In addition to the wild boars that would come down from the mountain from time to time to destroy crops, there were also wolves, blind bears and tigers.
Thinking of the tiger and the blind bear, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.
Even the old hunters in the village dared not easily step into the deep mountains. When they often came to the mountains during construction, they only dared to stay on the outskirts. She was so confused today that she actually brought her daughter into the deep mountains.
Liu Xiaomei looked down at her daughter who was looking around with her round eyes, and hurriedly turned around and walked down the mountain, fearing that she would encounter danger if she was a step late.
Liu Xiaomei walked very quickly, and whispered to Su Li as she walked. It was not known whether she was afraid that Su Li's noise would attract wild beasts, or because she was too scared, but she kept stroking Su Li's back along the way to comfort her.
Su Li saw that her face was pale and she was indeed very scared. He regretted not reminding her earlier and let her go into the mountains.
Although she has the ability to protect her stepmother in the back mountain as if she were safe in her own back garden, her stepmother doesn't know it!
Alas, her age is still a big disadvantage. If she were an adult now, she would have no worries at all. She should grow up quickly!
She was not greedy. She wanted to at least let her grow up to five or six years old, so that she could run around the village by herself.
Liu Xiaomei walked quickly and soon left the deep mountains. Even so, she did not relax her vigilance and continued to listen carefully to the movements around her.
The more fearful and nervous you are, the more exaggerated the movements around you will become.
Just at this moment, Liu Xiaomei heard a rustling sound in the grass not far away, as if a group of things were about to rush out from it.
She held her breath, her heart jumping into her throat. The first thing that came to her mind was that there was a snake in the grass, and it was a very big snake, otherwise it wouldn't have made such a big noise.
She swallowed, clenched the sickle in her hand, and wanted to run away tremblingly.
As soon as her brain issued the command, she heard the cuckoo cuckoo cries of pheasants. Then she saw pheasants with bright feathers scurrying out from the bushes one after another, flapping their wings and flying straight into a large tree beside her...
Liu Xiaomei stared at the seven or eight dead pheasants lying on the ground with her mouth wide open. Her mind was still dazed when she saw several fat rabbits ramming hard into the big tree next to her, as if they were determined to die.
His head was smashed to pieces!
How anxious is this?
Pheasants and hares: Who's in such a hurry to die? We haven't lived enough!
Su Li withdrew her consciousness and saw that her mother was stunned and did not react for a long time. She thought that it was too bloody and scared her, so she quickly raised her little hand and touched her - chin.
I originally wanted to touch his forehead, but my arms are so short that I can’t do it for the time being.
"Hurry, rabbit, rabbit..."
