Chapter 101: Breaking the Promise
"It definitely can't be kept for too long. It's definitely better than leaving it like this." Although Qiao Mo felt a little guilty, he still nodded affirmatively.
She wanted to put them in a space so that they wouldn't grow old or rot no matter how long it took. They wouldn't be too conspicuous, so she secretly put some in when she was picking potatoes and would take them out slowly later.
Tang Xinmei had no choice but to nod. She decided to eat more potatoes in the future and try to finish them as soon as possible.
Seeing Qiao Mo harvesting potatoes in this way, Chen Ran and the others followed suit and buried the potatoes in the sand in the same way.
Spring has arrived, and the supplies in the mountains have increased. Mushrooms, bamboo shoots, ferns, etc. are really like bamboo shoots after the rain, emerging from the soil one after another: in this time of lean season, these mountain products and wild vegetables have become regular guests on people's tables.
After work, Qiao Mo and his friends not only turned over the empty private plots and planted amaranth, water spinach, peppers, eggplants, etc., but also went into the mountains to pick mushrooms, bamboo shoots, etc.
These things can not only be eaten fresh, but can also be dried into dried vegetables, which can be soaked in boiling water when eaten.
Tang Xinmei didn't like going into the mountains, so she stayed at home to cook, look after the poultry and take care of her private plot.
Chu Maoshen also broke his usual habit and went up the mountain whenever he had time. He picked mushrooms, bamboo shoots, ferns, etc. and followed Qiao Mo's example to dry them all.
It was a cloudy day, and after planting the sweet potato vines, the team leader asked everyone to leave work early. Qiao Mo and his friends went to the educated youth site, put on their backpacks, took some firewood, and went out.
"Qiao Mo, we'll go with you." Seeing that Qiao Mo and the others were going into the mountains again, Chen Ran quickly packed up, put on his backpack and followed them.
"Aren't you staying at home to cook?" Qiao Mo asked in surprise. She used to stay at home like Tang Xinmei.
"They work early, so I'll go with them. Besides, the results of those two men are really not that good." Chen Ran shook his head. Compared with Qiao Mo and the others' gains, Wang Jiaqi and Wu Shudong were not good enough.
"Then let's go." There were a lot of things in the mountains, and Qiao Mo couldn't pick them all, so she naturally wouldn't object to them following.
"We're going with you too." At this time, Chu Maoshen and Liu Ruoling also followed out fully armed: In order to pay off the debt as soon as possible, he fought hard.
He had already contacted his buddy in Donghai. He sent dried mushrooms, bamboo shoots, etc. to Donghai, and his buddy exchanged them for money and tickets so that he could pay off his debts as soon as possible and regain his confidence at the educated youth camp.
He knew that his family was unreliable, so after the incident, he wrote a letter home, telling his parents what had happened to him and asking them to send some money to pay off his debts.
But apart from sending some rice as before, they didn't send him any money. They also scolded him for being so careless and for getting caught and spending so much money. They said that his family had already given him enough and it was impossible for them to send him any more money. They told him to find a way to repay the debt himself.
At that time, he even wanted to give up: he had a debt of one hundred yuan, and he had to support the parasite Liu Ruoling. If he relied on digging in the soil for food, how could he pay it off?
