Chapter 22 Departure



Now they have enough food in their shed. They have more than enough cow's and goat's milk to drink every day, and the vegetables in the small vegetable garden behind are also growing.

She bought noodles because she and Grandpa Liang were both from the north and liked to eat noodles.

Teacher Yan and Aunt Pei are both from the south, and they often eat rice.

Look, it’s Aunt Pei’s turn to light the fire for her at night.

Actually, there wasn’t much in it, just some chopped green onions and a few green vegetable leaves.

That was all, and she and Grandpa Liang enjoyed the meal very much.

Teacher Yan and Aunt Pei didn’t think it was very delicious.

After running around outside all day, I returned home at night and quickly entered the space.

Her little cabin has grown out.

Rectangular in shape, the walls are made of fist-sized tree trunks.

The first floor has a living room and a study, and the second floor has a bedroom.

There is also a spacious warehouse next to the cabin.

Ying Han put all the food in here, and also sorted the fruits into it.

Today she sold all the grain she had harvested.

So she had to continue harvesting food for the next few days.

Ying Han first planted the lotus roots he picked up today in the soil.

There is a lot of fog in the space and it is already very humid. I don’t know if the fog can be regarded as water.

After planting the lotus roots, I looked at today’s fish, chicken, and pork.

If she gives it to her parents, it can't all be fresh, otherwise it will easily arouse suspicion.

It seems I need to find a way to pickle and dry it.

Because the grapes were just branches and had no roots, they couldn't be planted directly, so she inserted the grape branches into an empty bottle, watered it for a few days, and waited for roots to grow.

This is the fastest way.

There are also red beans and mung beans.

Soak it overnight today and you can plant it in the space tomorrow.

...

Ying Han got up early today and saw that the red beans and mung beans soaked in the teacup had sprouted.

I quickly entered the space and started planting.

She has now reorganized the space.

Vegetable area, fruit area, tree area, and grain area.

There is a large space left for each category, so there is room if you need to copy it.

Now it is winter and there is still a lot of green grass on the mountain, but it is relatively wet and cold.

Fortunately, winter in our north is much colder than here, so we have thick clothes.

When she lived in the city, Yinghan never lacked food and clothing. She wore the best clothes, and even had a woolen coat, skirt, leather shoes and other things sent to her by her uncle from abroad.

She didn't bring any of these when she came here. All she brought were some floral jackets, cloth shoes, and her father and brother's discarded military uniforms, which her mother had altered for her.

She hasn't bought any clothes this year.

The cotton she bought a few days ago was for her parents here. It is extremely cold where they are now.

Now, when Ying Han is herding sheep, he spends part of his time harvesting food in the space.

Whenever we have time, we start harvesting food.

When she came back from herding sheep in the afternoon, Li Guihua came to see her.

Looking at the letter of introduction in her hand, Ying Han was so excited that his eyes almost turned red.

"My father said that he can let you leave two days early. After this month, you can set off."

"Thank you, Sister Osmanthus."

"Why thank me? It's all thanks to your fish."

Ying Han smiled, her things were not given in vain.

"Sister Guihua, have you told your family about your relationship with Liu Zhiqing?"

"I told you, Dad and Mom said they'd have Liu Zhiqing come to my house for dinner tomorrow. I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to go look for Liu Zhiqing."

Ying Han looked at Li Guihua's cheerful steps, not knowing whether to be happy for her or feel sorry for Liu Zhiqing.

Well, never mind, everyone has their own choice.

After receiving the letter of introduction, everyone in the shed was happy for her.

"There are only a few days left in this month, Hanhan, you have to get ready quickly. Bring everything you need. Remember not to pack all the money together, pack them separately. On the day you leave, I'll bake you some pancakes and bring you some rice balls, which will last you a few days." Aunt Pei gave her caring instructions, but she was still very worried.

"Aunt Pei, don't worry. Most of the people going home for the New Year are educated youth. Everything will be fine. I'm not going back to City Z this time. I'm going to visit my parents."

"Hanhan, your parents' condition shouldn't allow relatives to visit them."

"I will be careful not to let the villagers find out. I will just go to see my parents and come back after that." Ying Han thought about this problem, but she had to go. At this time, she didn't know whether her father was injured.

"Go ahead. The little girl will feel uneasy if you don't go. But remember to be careful when you get there. You won't be able to help you if you don't go." Grandpa Liang said.

"Yeah, I understand."

The next day, Ying Han went to the town early in the morning carrying a bamboo basket, this time he walked there.

I bought coarse salt and peppercorns.

Then, while herding sheep, he went to the mountains and found a secret place, where he marinated all the fish, pork, and chicken in the space.

He found a grass knot to trap himself, and then hung himself in a very small and hidden crevice in the mountain.

If any prey appeared in this place, it would immediately eat up all her meat, and she would have no way to deal with it. The space could keep the meat fresh, but the wind would not dry it out at all.

She can only hang here.

Looking at her hard work, I secretly prayed to God to give her some face.

Anyway, I spent the night in fear. I got up early the next morning and rushed over to check. I found that everything was still there, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

These days I've been running back and forth between home and the mountains.

The day before departure, Ying Han put the semi-finished products that had not yet dried into the space, which was already very good.

"Hanhan, we can't go to the station to ask for a ride tomorrow, so you'd better be careful. Don't drink other people's things on the road, don't talk to people casually, and don't pay attention to them when they talk to you, okay? Also, my daughter is said to be in H City in Northeast China, her name is Yan Jiuxiang, but we don't know where exactly she is. You can take this ring of mine. If you have the chance to sell it, sell it. If you can't sell it, give it to my daughter if you meet her, so that she can deal with it in an emergency. If you don't meet her, forget it. These are the only things left for Teacher Yan and I, so don't mind it, Hanhan." In the evening, everyone was making pancakes for Yinghan in the kitchen.

Teacher Yan was making a fire, Aunt Pei was busy, and Grandpa Liang also sat aside with Ying Han. The few of them took this opportunity to talk.

"Aunt Pei, this must be something very important to you. You should keep it for yourself. If I see it over there, I will definitely talk to Sister Yan. I have money on me, and if she has any difficulties, I may be able to help her."

"No, we can't use your money anymore. We feel bad about it now. This ring is made of gold. Alas, no matter how precious or meaningful something is, it can't compensate for the hardships of life."

"Your Aunt Pei is right. Take it. It's not worth much." Teacher Yan said.
