"Don't worry, brother-in-law, I will pay attention."
"Okay, Xiaozi, remember your promise and take good care of your fourth sister."
Song Tangzi patted his chest and assured. "I'm a little man, of course I can do it."
While the warm instructions were still being given, Song Tanglan got up carefully and washed up, fearing that she would make any noise and wake up the two children.
Mumu woke up several times yesterday, causing Song Tangcheng to get up in the middle of the night to feed him, change his diaper, and then coax him back to sleep. She was so busy that she didn't sleep well last night.
I had just finished half of my breakfast when Xiaohu came with a backpack on his back.
"Aunt Lan, Uncle Zi, I heard that we are going to the mountains to cut grass for pigs today. I know where the grass is abundant. I will take you there later. It won't take long for us to complete the task."
Xiaohu was also smiling with a biscuit in his mouth. He heard his grandmother say last night that Song Tanglan would also go to cut grass for pigs starting today, and that he would be the leader and lead them to cut grass. Hearing this, he was particularly happy.
When he heard Song Tangzi say that he had never been to the mountain, he wanted to take him up the mountain to play together, but his grandmother refused.
She insisted that it was unsafe for the two of them to go up the mountain, and that she was afraid they would go crazy and run back inside, so she rejected his suggestion.
He just didn't expect that he would be able to go up the mountain with Song Tangzi today. Even if there was one more person, Song Tanglan, he didn't think it was a big problem.
Seeing him still holding the pancake, Song Tanglan couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are you in such a hurry?" After saying that, she also picked up her breakfast and followed him towards the pig farm while eating.
After work yesterday, Su Tao came to see her with a few educated youth. Seeing that she was fine, they left with peace of mind. Song Tanglan also received a can of mint leaves, which was a gift from Jiang Shubai.
Song Tanglan liked the can of mint leaves very much when she saw it. She loved drinking mint tea in her previous life, and mint candy was also her favorite. It’s just that she had never seen mint since she went to the countryside.
She thought there were no such things in the countryside!
Seeing how much she liked it, Jiang Shubai told her where Mint was.
It turned out that there was no mint in the Red Star Brigade, but it was only found in the small river at the foot of the mountain. It was very close to the hunter's home, so it was not surprising that Jiang Shubai could find it.
Thinking that mint can be used to make all kinds of good things, after happily thanking Jiang Shubai, he planned to pick some more mint leaves tomorrow and dry them.
You can dig up a few and plant them later.
…
This year their team raised six pigs, so they needed more pig grass. In previous years, the people who cut the pig grass were half-grown children, but this year the pig grass they cut was far from enough for the pigs to eat, so many elderly people also came to cut the pig grass.
When Aunt Ma, the pig farmer, saw Song Tanglan, she curiously asked the little tiger, "Is this the educated youth your grandma was talking about?"
"Yes, it's Aunt Lan. This is her brother who came to help."
Seeing him so happy, Aunt Ma couldn't help but joke, "Then Aunt Ma, do you need to give him extra work points?"
"No, no." Xiaohu was not stupid. Of course he knew that Song Tangzi was not from their team and there was no way to record work points, so he quickly refused.
Song Tangzi was also a little confused when he heard the conversation between the two, but he didn't ask any more questions.
Song Tanglan also guessed the reason behind this and didn't say much. He greeted Aunt Ma and then followed Xiaohu up the mountain.
Along the way, Xiaohu turned left and right as if he was familiar with the route, chattering with Xiaozi all the time. When he met children he knew, he would stop to say hello to them.
By the way, he also introduced Song Tangzi to them. Soon Song Tangzi got to know many of the children in the team. Seeing them dirty, although Song Tangzi found it a little difficult to accept, he did not show any coldness.
They walked very fast along the way, and Xiaohu was leading them. After a while, they arrived at the place where they usually cut grass for pigs.
There are quite a few children cutting grass for pigs here, most of them are seven or eight years old, and there are also a few who are a little older.
But they were very skilled at cutting grass for the pigs, and their speed made Song Tanglan want to give them a thumbs up.
But Xiaohu didn't stay here. He took a look and then took the two of them in another direction. After they climbed over a slope, they came to another pig grass field. There was a lot of pig grass here, and no one was there.
Seeing the two curiously watching, Xiaohu proudly said, "I discovered this secret base. Harvesting here means you can finish four baskets in less than a day. One basket is worth one work point, so four baskets equals four work points."
Song Tanglan's eyes lit up when she heard this. She didn't expect that cutting grass for pigs could earn her quite a bit of work points, unlike her working so hard in the fields and only earning four work points.
But when he thought of the big basket behind him, he suddenly felt deflated.
This basket is one meter high and is often carried by adult men.
Cutting grass for pigs is obviously easier than working in the fields. If the quantity is not enough, it will not be easy to get a work point.
While she was daydreaming, Xiaohu had already started teaching Song Tangzi. He was a little clumsy at first, but gradually he learned the essentials.
But his speed was not as fast as Xiaohu's, so Song Tanglan didn't stand there any longer. Instead, he imitated them and started cutting grass for the pigs.
After cutting for a whole hour, she finally filled a basket of pig grass. Unexpectedly, when Xiaohu saw her basket, he quickly reached out and pressed it down, and half of the basket was empty again in an instant.
"Aunt Lan, this needs to be compacted to count as one basket. You need to continue cutting this."
Song Tanglan looked at the pig grass which was only one-third left and continued to cut it with some helplessness. However, she would sit down and rest for a while after cutting for a while.
In less than two hours, she finally filled the backpack. There was so much excess that she stuffed it into Song Tangzi's basket. It was actually Xiaohu's basket, and the pig grass on it was already bulging out.
