Erbao received injections for three days in a row before he finally recovered, and Su Xia and the others also followed suit.
As for Chen Jianguo's scribbled letter, which contained simple greetings and two months' salary, Su Xia was not curious.
In fact, Chen Jianguo also wanted to write in detail, but he didn't have the time. After the leader talked to him, the next day it was Ding Xueming, and then some engineers like them came one after another.
Finally, there were the lower-level workers. Only when they arrived at the entire base did they know that they had been disbanded and assigned to other areas.
Many people want to return to their hometowns. This entire base is full of people coming and going. If you have connections and family members, you can naturally get what you want and go to where you want to go.
For those who want to return to their hometown, of course it doesn’t matter. As for those who have families, they naturally want to go home to be with their wives and children.
In addition, most people are worried about what unit they will be assigned to after returning home, as this is related to their future settlement.
"Old Chen, where do you think I should go back to?" Ding Xueming stuck a piece of dogtail grass in his mouth and sat on the ground side by side with Chen Jianguo, looking at the distant railway plank road.
This is the result of their years of hard work, are they really willing to give it up?
Chen Jianguo kept his eyes fixed on the front, and behind him was the obviously empty base.
"Is it good to stay here?"
Ding Xueming was a little bewildered when he heard this. The urban area here was definitely better than their county town, but he had agreed without hesitation before.
Now I am definitely considering finding a wife, since my parents’ home is in the county town.
"What about you? Have you decided where to go?" People like them who have been dealing with railways for a long time really know what else they will do?
Chen Jianguo shook his head, "Let's listen to the arrangements from above!"
Hearing this, Ding Xueming also sat quietly. This meant he would miss one more look and would never see her again.
Su Xia also knew Chen Jianguo's distress, because Niuniu was about to start school, and the family started picking vegetables, picking all the extra things at home.
Even the families of Chen Jiandang and Chen Jianjun were busy with the work.
Chen's mother was busy in her backyard, planting beans, eggplants, tomatoes...
Anyway, all the extra ones should be taken off.
"Grandma, let me help you!" Daya came to help, which made Chen's mother feel a little more relaxed.
"Did your family finish picking the fruits so quickly?" Chen's mother asked curiously.
Daya is nimble and skillful. Now she has grown into a beautiful young lady, half a head taller than Chen's mother.
"I have mother and sister at home!" In fact, her mother was happy for her to come, but when she came out, Xia Lai Di dared not say a word.
As for Aunt San's house, it's because Gou Wa is still young and needs someone to look after him, so no one has time to come over.
Mother Chen said nothing. "Okay, it's just right that you're here. I have to go help your aunt later!"
Daya was not angry when she heard this. Grandpa and grandma were eating next door now, and both families knew about it. But it was her aunt who was the boss and did a good job.
If it were her mother, Daya would quickly shake her head, saying that it would be better not to let her grandparents suffer.
Su Xia didn't have much, because she and Chen's mother had already pickled them into side dishes.
According to Chen 꿵, "Letting your mother pickle it is a waste of vegetables and salt. Half a jar can last until the beginning of next spring!"
This made Chen's mother furious. She chased Chen and scolded him, always saying the same thing: "Bullshit! You've been eating this for over 30 years, and now you're disgusted with it. Chen Haisheng, are you thinking of changing someone else?"
Chen 꿵 was so scared that he went out early and came back late for several days in a row, and even asked Niuniu to deliver meals to the old house.
Su Xia chuckled. After watching the old couple's battle for several days, she finally added a bit of fun to the boring days.
However, Chen's mother later brought all the jars in her home to Su Xia's place, and the two of them kept pickling vegetables for half a month, including garlic, eggplant, sour beans, and kimchi, which they can now eat.
At the dinner table, Chen 꿵 looked at his mother and said proudly, "Look, if it were you who made it, I would have to eat two steamed buns for one string bean!"
Su Xia Niuniu's eldest child gave a twang, and even the second child babbled.
Sure enough, Chen's mother looked at Chen Xiao with a fierce look, and started pinching him, making Chen Xiao's eyebrows knotted. However, she still pretended to be the head of the family in front of her daughter-in-law, grandchildren and granddaughters.
It was the forehead with beads of sweat that almost broke Su Xia Niuniu and Dabao's defense.
However, for Chen 꿵's sake, Niang San still held back.
Su Xia put the second baby in the stroller and then parked the stroller in the shade in the backyard.
I took Niuniu and Dabao to pick vegetables. Dabao walked through the tomato field, picking out the red tomatoes one by one.
Four-year-old Dabao is taller and heavier than other children of the same age in the village, and can even be compared with a six-year-old child.
Niu Niu is busy with Su Xia. Now she is almost 1.5 meters tall. Su Xia thinks that at this rate of growth she will have her period soon. She is always thinking about this and will find time to teach her later.
"Mom, are there no red tomatoes left?"
Dabao wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted at Su Xia.
Su Xia heard this without looking up, "Go pick some cucumbers, pick the big ones!"
When Dabao heard this, he trotted over again. Because he was small, he could see everything below.
Su Xia picked all the ripe cantaloupes and watermelons.
They picked 20 cantaloupes and 5 watermelons. Su Xia kept 2 cantaloupes and 1 watermelon, and gave the rest to Sunan and one each.
Sell everything else.
Besides, there are still some uncooked ones at the back, so she will prepare to eat them. As for the space, forget it. Ever since Chen Xiao and Chen's mother came, she hasn't used it for a long time. Sometimes she almost forgets that she is a person with a golden finger.
Why--
These days are really becoming more and more retro!
Also, take all the eggs except the pickled ones, including goose eggs.
Anyway, we can harvest 3 goose eggs and 10 chicken eggs every day.
This is the bulk of Su Xia's income. Now it is the end of August, and she can buy a batch just in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival. As for the rest, it will be cold now, so she can keep it and eat it slowly. If she really wants to, she can secretly store it in the space.
The next day, when Chen Xiao and his mother were loading the ox cart, except for the space for a few people to sit on, the rest was filled with bags of vegetables and baskets of eggs.
"Dad, can I go with you too?" Chen Jianjun was a little relieved. There were too many people in the car, with his eldest sister-in-law bringing her three children, and Chen Xiao and his mother, two elderly people.
I'm really afraid of running into bad guys. Su Xia was also confused. She didn't expect so much.
Looking at Chen 꿵, Chen 꿵 looked thoughtful, and finally said, "Okay, you follow behind on your bike. There are still some weeds covering it, so make sure it doesn't show."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiandang, Chen Jianjun and others hurriedly brought pig grass from their homes to cover the pot.
Su Xia tied Erbao in front and did not refuse, because she was afraid of any accidents.
So when Chen 꿵 drove the ox cart out, fortunately the villagers had not come out yet.
Chen Jianjun followed beside him on a bicycle, holding a stick in his hand.
Su Xia was speechless for a while. Their village had a good geographical location and had income twice a year. Wheat was a fine grain and could satisfy their cravings.
The corn, beans, and sweet potatoes harvested in autumn are all high-yielding plants. If you are lazy, you will surely starve to death.
I want to have some land, pure wheat and rice, without rain, the production is reduced and we can't eat enough. Also, now it is all manpower, with little fertilizer, how can the production be compared with the later period? After paying the grain, we can't eat enough, so many people switch to coarse grains and mix them together.
There is also the water-scarce desert land in the northwest, the cold weather in the north, and an autumn harvest.
Su Xia looked at the corn growing well on both sides of the road, and was glad that she had come from a place where she could grow corn. Although it was not as beautiful as in the novel,
The kind that once you go up the mountain, you will eat wild boars, ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, or fruits and mushrooms.
The mountains in their area have weeds and trees, and the only fruit trees they have seen are apricot trees and a few sour grapes that are delicious.
The mushrooms were common tree mushrooms. Su Xia seldom picked them because they were too dirty and she was too lazy to clean them. They were not as good as the ones she bought.
I was thinking all the way to the county town, and then I heard Chen Jianjun say, "This stick is useless?"
The corner of Su Xia's mouth twitched, and she glared at him unhappily. Sure enough, Chen's mother slapped her in the face, "You have a crow's mouth, little bastard, I'll hit you again!"
Chen Jianjun was in pain and ran straight to the front, which made Niu Niu and Dabao very happy.
