"Mo Mo, it's too heavy. Put the mugwort down. We'll make another run later and chop some firewood to bring back." Kang Mingyuan said disapprovingly.
"Yes, once your waist is bent, you won't be able to straighten it up anymore." Han Yimao also smiled and joked, asking her to put the mugwort down.
"No, this little bit is not a big burden for me. Besides, the rain is getting heavier, it will be troublesome if we come again. We can wait until the weather is clear before chopping firewood." Qiao Mo shook his head and refused, and walked ahead first.
After returning to the educated youth camp, Qiao Mo put down her things and went to boil water for a bath. After cleaning up, she threw the two turtledoves to Kang Mingyuan and the others to deal with, while she concentrated on washing mushrooms. The lunch dish was turtledove stewed with mushrooms. Although the turtledoves were a little small, they were still meat, and adding some more mushrooms would be enough for the three of them.
"Mo Mo is so amazing that she can even shoot down a turtledove flying in the sky." Han Yimo was eating the delicious food, feeling very proud: they didn't look down on her just because she was a girl, and they pulled her into their camp. They really made a big profit.
"They were standing on the trees at that time, not flying in the sky." Qiao Mo said lightly.
Kang Mingyuan chuckled: "Yi Mo didn't mean that. He meant that you can even hit flying birds, which is really amazing."
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean." Han Yimo nodded repeatedly, "Momo, next time you come into the mountains with us, we will definitely let you show off your skills. We have connections, so no matter how many prey you kill, we can help you deal with them."
"Okay, I'll go with you next time." Qiao Mo nodded. This was a good opportunity to eat meat with a clear conscience, and also a good opportunity to make money.
Although everyone verbally said that everything was collective, in this secluded mountainous area, it was still possible to hunt small prey in the mountains to improve life. However, it was not the same for large prey, such as wild boars. If you hunted them, you had to hand them over to the public unless you could deal with them quietly.
The next day, the weather was clear and everyone went to turn over the sweet potato vines again. Chu Maoshen couldn't do the work of two people, so he simply asked the team leader to change Luo Ruoling's job, which was to cut grass for pigs. The team had a small pig farm and they collected pig grass by the centimeter.
Captain Li was originally unwilling to do so, thinking that cutting grass for pigs was a job for children and the elderly, and the work points earned were not many. How could she complete the minimum amount of work points in the future?
Chu Mao thought about it and realized that Liu Ruoling was not a hard worker, and the other educated youth did not want to work with them. He could not do the work of two people even if he worked himself to death.
They had no choice but to tell Captain Li that Liu Ruoling was in poor health and that she could get rations based on her work points, and she didn't have to be given rations per head like the villagers. They also wrote a guarantee that they would never cause trouble for the team, and that they would bear any problems themselves.
To be on the safe side, Captain Li not only asked Chu Maoshen to sign, but also asked Liu Ruoling to sign.
Liu Ruoling thought that although she had to cut grass for pigs with a bunch of little brats, it was better than working with everyone else. Pig grass was calculated by weight, so she could cut as much as she wanted without having to look at other people's faces. So she happily signed the contract and started her life of cutting grass for pigs.
Chu Maoshen felt relieved now that he didn't have to work for Liu Ruoling. When the tasks were assigned, he didn't want to be alone, so he followed Shao Lidong and the others.
Qiao Mo and his group are all very capable, so they naturally work quickly. At half past eleven, Kang Mingyuan asked Qiao Mo to go back and cook. Qiao Mo saw that there was not much work left, so he didn't bother to be polite with them. He packed up his things and took back the sweet potato vines that Kang Mingyuan and his group had picked.
When I met Aunt Wu halfway, I gave her the sweet potato vines with the tender leaves pinched off.
"Qiao Zhiqing, thank you. You are so thoughtful." Aunt Wu took the sweet potato vine with a smile.
