Chapter 305: The Female Journey Thousand Miles Away Worry 1
The rain of years swept across the river of time. The busy farming season has passed. Autumn girl left in her carriage of abundant grains, and winter girl came wearing white gauze.
The years were peaceful, Yike and Ziyi whispered:
"Hubby, the busy farming season is over. We should go out and bring my cousins in. They must be waiting anxiously."
"No, they also need to grow wheat and rapeseed. It's just right that we are out now. Isn't Ma Youcai's cousin going to come in too? Let's go and bring them back together."
"Then let more people go out together. When we come back, let dad bring them in first so we can look for educated people and see if we can find another group of wanderers. There are still too few people in the mountains."
"You're right. With so few people, we can't speed up many things. I'll go to the farm machinery factory to see if there's any tillage machinery available. I'll buy some and see if I can modify it."
“Just buy the parts and assemble them yourself.”
"Yes, you are right. Buy some parts and invite a master to come into the mountains to research together. Together with Mr. Su, I don't believe that we can't build a tiller."
"Yes, you know the principle. With the help of the masters from the agricultural machinery factory and Mr. Su, we should be able to make a tiller. Machines can replace manual labor and save manpower. If we put those people on the production line, we won't be short of manpower on our production line. I also want to open a winery. Now that we have grain, we just lack manpower."
"Two people are enough for the wine shop. Go out and find two people this time."
Ziyi and Yike discussed and decided to go out tomorrow. Ma Youcai, Tang Jianguo, Wang Feng, Liu Bing and Dong Guoqing were also preparing to go out, so it was just right for them to go together.
During dinner, Ziyi mentioned the idea of leaving the mountains. Li Haoran said it was no problem. Only Mr. Su asked Ziyi to take a letter with him. He had a student who specialized in agricultural machinery, and if his student was having a hard time outside, he should let him in.
He also specifically instructed Yike that he had called Yike his granddaughter in the letter, not his goddaughter, so she should not reveal the secret.
"Grandpa, are we lying to others? Will it be bad?" He was afraid that a conflict would arise because of this, which would be bad.
"It's okay. He's just a stubborn person. When he comes in, I will naturally find a way to prevent him from getting angry. Besides, in my heart, you are my granddaughter, just lacking a little blood relationship. I'm not lying to him."
"Well, you are the grandfather, so if you say you didn't lie, then you didn't lie."
"Also, if you can get the things on this list, I can try to research this drone you mentioned."
"Really?" Yi Ke asked in surprise.
"Of course it's true, but those things are hard to buy, especially the key thing Ziyi mentioned, which may not be available in China."
"If it's not available in China, go buy it abroad. There is always a way." Ziyi said to Mr. Su.
"Okay, if the research is successful, it will not only save manpower by using drones to spray crops, as you said, but also be more useful in the military industry."
Ziyi and Yike knew about it of course, but these matters would be Mr. Su’s business at that time, and they would not interfere.
Today is the day to go out of the mountain. Ziyi, Yike, Li Haoran, and Tang Jianguo all carried large backpacks full of canned fruits. These were made during this period, and they were going to carry them out of the mountain to sell.
"Yike, I think you should stop carrying the backpack and let your father carry it. It's such a long journey, what if you get tired?" Mother Zhang Yuling held the backpack tightly.
"Mom, it's okay. My bag is full of dried meat and dried fruits, not canned food. It's not heavy."
"How can it not be heavy? Let me tell you, on this mountain road, carrying something will become heavier the more you walk. Be good and don't carry it!" Mother Zhang Yuling refused to let go.
"No, mother, I have selected these dried meats. I want to give them as gifts, so I must take them out. Mother, I am very strong, don't worry."
"Just because you're strong doesn't mean you have to carry such heavy things. If you carry it like this, you'll be shorter. Don't you want to grow taller? How can you grow taller if you carry it like this? If that doesn't work, let your father carry it."
Li Haoran: I’m not tall anymore, so I can use my head.
Yike looked at his father Li Haoran's bulging backpack that was level with his head, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Zhang Yuling also saw that her husband's back really couldn't hold another bag, so she could only glare at him in reproach: "Why do you put so much on your back? Don't you leave some space for your daughter's bag?"
Li Haoran understood what his wife meant immediately: "Well, if I put less in my backpack, I can put Yike's backpack on top of mine."
"Okay," Zhang Yuling immediately ran forward happily to help the man put down the bag.
"No, Mom, we're going to sell these cans for money, we can't do that." Yi Ke hurriedly stopped her.
"Then just take out some of the things in your backpack and reduce it by half." Zhang Yuling didn't want to leave those canned foods at home either.
"Mom." Yike acted coquettishly, hugged Zhang Yuling's arm and shook her, and stomped her feet.
Sister Han Guihua put the backpack on Ma Youcai and came over to persuade Yike to put out half of the things in the backpack. I blinked my eyes, and tears hung on my eyelashes. If you don't agree, I will cry for you to see.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Who made Yike cry?" Wang Cuihua came back from outside with a basket of fresh fruits and saw the tears in Yike's eyes at a glance.
Godmother Wang Cuihua threw the basket on the ground with a "bang", raised her foot, took two steps over, stretched out her hand, pulled Yike over, and groped out a towel, which she held in front of Yike's eyes, and carefully wiped the trembling tears on Yike's face.
Godmother Wang Cuihua said softly: "Be good and don't cry. If anyone makes you cry, tell me and I will help you vent your anger."
"Godmother, it's mother. Mother doesn't want me to carry the dried meat out. I want to give the dried meat as gifts, and I also want to eat it myself." Yi Ke deliberately didn't say it was mother Zhang Yuling for fear of tiring herself out.
"Don't cry, don't cry, godmother will help you." Wang Cuihua stuffed the handkerchief back into her pocket and was about to speak.
Zhang Yuling snorted, "Stop it. I know what you want to say. You are the only one who knows how to be a good person. You don't even see what she is going to do. Look, she wants to carry that big bag by herself. Do you think this is possible? Don't you feel sorry for her being exhausted?"
When godmother Wang Cuihua took a look, she saw that it was indeed a huge bag, and her backpack was bulging with it.
Godmother Wang Cuihua said to Yike awkwardly: "Yike, be good, this is really heavy. How about this, I'll let your brother Jiankang help you carry it."
After saying this, godmother Wang Cuihua shouted, "Jiankang, go, get some clothes and go out with your sister."
"Okay." Du Jiankang turned around and went into the house to get some clean clothes.
"Godmother, I really can do it on my own." Yike stomped his feet in anger. It was not good to have too many mothers. There would be no freedom at all.
Ziyi came over and grabbed Yike, who was fighting with his mother Zhang Yuling for the backpack, and said, "Let Jiankang carry it. He can also help carry things when you come back. Did you forget? There are so many machine parts."
