The leaders of the team are all country people. They just think that this is their team's land, why should they divide it among these kids from the city? If one piece is divided out, there will be one less piece.
They never thought that after they went to the countryside, their household registration would be transferred to their team. They only thought about their own things, not about giving them away to outsiders, and about how to keep their families well fed and clothed.
Only after Captain Cheng and Cheng Fangzheng explained it did they agree.
Well, Sun Jianhua learned about this news yesterday, and the three of them discussed it.
He asked the team leader to allocate a small piece of land in the backyard of Xiao Cheng's house to them. Cheng Fangzheng also found them an experienced house builder in the team and villagers who had connections to buy materials.
It would be much cheaper for both families to book together. Since they both happened to be wealthy, they paid the deposit generously, hoping to settle the deal quickly so they could move out sooner.
When the educated youths in the Youth Farm learned that they were going to build their own houses and move out, they all looked pale and often spoke ill of them behind their backs.
They said they were unsociable and disunited, and mocked them for spending money lavishly, and taunted them that if they ran out of food in the future, they shouldn't go back to the Youth League Home to borrow money.
There was a small quarrel in the Youth League compound over this matter.
Chen Donghong still looked unhappy when he knew they were going to move out.
He felt that since they moved out, not only would they no longer be under his control, but it would also be difficult for him to take advantage of them.
For his own little thoughts, he pretended to persuade them a few words, saying that what they did was wrong and that it would make the villagers look down on them as educated youth.
Anyway, he just said a bunch of illogical words, but Sun Jianhua and the other two just ignored them and didn't take them to heart.
They are now overwhelmed by the joy of being able to build a house, so why would they care about what these clowns say?
…
"Aunt Lan, I've been there with Mom before. There are a lot of wild fruits there, but Mom doesn't let us kids go there by ourselves."
When Song Tanglan heard about fruits, her eyes lit up. She hadn't seen any fruits since she traveled through time. The few fruits she could find on the black market were all wilted and sold out in no time.
"Then we should go pick some wild fruits later, what do you think?"
Yu He nodded in agreement: "Sure, let's go pick some more wild fruits later."
At this time, the eldest brother Sun Jianhua also agreed: "Okay, let's go pick mushrooms first, and then pick fruits."
Xiaohu was very happy to hear this. He was reluctant to go up the mountain with his mother because his mother would not take a detour to take him to pick wild fruits. His mother thought it was a waste of time since wild fruits were always available anyway.
But if she doesn't pick more mushrooms now, she will have less food in the winter, and she won't have the time to pick snacks for the children.
Su Tao had no objection to their decision. It was just a matter of making one more trip. Besides, she hadn't eaten sweet or sour fruit for a long time.
"Here we are. It's right on the mountainside in front. I accidentally walked here before and found that few people come here."
Xiaohu looked at the nearby road and said honestly, "This place is very close to the backyard. Few people go this way. They mostly go east. There are a lot of mushrooms there too. I just know there are a lot of people there too."
"Yeah, yeah, I only spent less than an hour here that day and the whole backpack was full." He said this proudly.
This time when she went up the mountain, she not only carried a backpack, but also a sack, thinking of picking more, so that she could dry them and send them back home, or add a dish to her family.
When Song Tanglan heard that they had arrived at the place, she looked around curiously. Although she had never picked mushrooms before, she had seen videos of others picking mushrooms and knew that most mushrooms grew under fallen leaves.
Out of curiosity, he used a stick to dig up the fallen leaves in front of him and found some mushrooms, but they were very small. Song Tanglan carefully picked the mushrooms and put them in the backpack.
Su Tao didn't say anything when she saw her like this. She was the same when she first saw mushrooms. She was much more excited than Lanlan at that time.
We are all city kids, how could we have the opportunity to pick mushrooms?
"Lanlan, let's go a little further ahead. There are more of them, all in patches. I heard from Mrs. Sun that this is called something called Zhenru. There are a lot of them over there."
After hearing this, Song Tanglan became curious about what the mushrooms looked like, so she followed Su Tao in the direction she pointed and found that it was exactly as she said.
There are so many mushrooms here, enough for them to fill five backpacks. They might not be able to pick them all and would have to make another trip.
She was also sharp-eyed and found a small piece of wood ear on a rotten tree stump not far away.
The five people were very surprised to see this patch of mushrooms, so they stopped chatting and each found a direction and started picking them.
Although it was Song Tanglan's first time picking mushrooms, Su Tao had already taught her which mushrooms were edible and which were not on the way here.
Along the way, she picked the ones according to what Su Tao said, and she didn't even look at the remaining ones that were very beautiful.
I don’t know if it was because Song Tanglan was too excited, but after picking for a while, most of the mushrooms were already in the basket. Song Tanglan looked up at the large patch of mushrooms not far away, and decided to put these mushrooms into the space, and then continued to pick mushrooms frantically.
She knew that in the winter, apart from cabbage and pickles, there were few other vegetables to eat in the Red Star Brigade. Now there was a large area of mushrooms that could be made into delicious dishes in front of her, so how could she let it go?
I don’t know if it was because Song Tanglan was too involved, or if the five of them were all absorbed in the joy of picking mushrooms, but they were gradually getting farther and farther away. As long as they looked back, they could find that their friends were no longer there.
