The ones who cooked today were Su Man and Zhuang Hongmei. Su Man couldn't cook, but Zhuang Hongmei could. After the two of them were paired up, Su Man didn't know what conditions she used to get Zhuang Hongmei to cook by herself, and she just followed and helped.
But I don’t know what happened, the food they cooked at noon was particularly unpalatable, and now that there was meat for dinner, no one was comfortable letting them cook.
So Sun Shengnan was the one who cooked in the evening, and the others helped her.
Soon, a large pot of rabbit meat stewed with potatoes was ready.
The rich meaty aroma makes everyone's mouth water.
The group didn't hesitate and reached for the meat with their chopsticks.
The same went for Lu Xia. It was her first time eating rabbit meat and it tasted pretty good, so she ate a lot in the evening.
Even after everyone had finished eating all the food, they still felt a little unsatisfied.
However, Zhao Hua carefully reminded everyone not to tell anyone after they went out, especially to the villagers. After all, it was a collective asset now and everything belonged to the collective, including the things on the mountain.
“But our team is quite humane, and you can pick wild vegetables from the mountains at will.
...
...
You came a little late. There were a lot of wild vegetables on the mountain in spring. In March and April, the fields had not yet been planted. We went up the mountain every day and each of us stockpiled a lot of wild vegetables.
When the bigleaf celery came down last month, each of us picked several hundred kilograms." Sun Shengnan said.
Lu Xia and the others were very curious after hearing this, "Can these be sold for money?"
“That’s OK. There are people from the purchasing station in the county who will come and buy them. The price is not high, but it is also an income.
If you don’t want to sell them, you can dry them and eat them in the winter. After all, there is not much to eat in the Northeast in winter. Even though we picked so much celery, there is actually not much after drying it.
We were reluctant to sell them, so we sent some back home and kept the rest for ourselves.”
The newcomers found it quite interesting to listen to the old educated youth talk about their experiences over the years.
A few people asked curiously, and then listened to their stories. Slowly, the distance between the two groups of people became closer and closer, and they seemed to be slowly merging into them.
In the next few days, Lu Xia slowly began to adapt to work and was able to keep up with the pace of Sun Shengnan and the others, and the work points he earned every day reached six points.
Maybe it was because I drank spiritual spring water every day, so I didn’t feel too tired and my body adapted quickly.
Su Man was still doing the job of cutting grass for pigs, which was a lot easier. She could come back and rest after cutting grass for pigs every day. Although the work points were not many, it was very relaxing.
Zhuang Hongmei, on the other hand, seemed very uncomfortable and grimaced every day. It took her so many days to get four work points.
Gu Xiangnan has caught up with the boys. As for Jiang Junmo, he still works half a day and rests for a day and a half.
During this period, several new educated youth have become familiar with the old educated youth. Lu Xia and Shen Qingqing are more familiar with each other because they are in the same cooking group.
Shen Qingqing is quite introverted, and Lu Xia doesn't talk much either, but they get along well. However, Lu Xia feels a little sorry for this child. She heard that her family hasn't contacted her since she went to the countryside, let alone sent her anything. If it weren't for everyone's help, she would have starved to death long ago.
But this child is sensible and always helps everyone do a lot of things silently.
A few days ago, Lu Xia had her first menstrual period after she came here. She felt very uncomfortable. Although she felt better after drinking brown sugar boiled with spiritual spring water, she was still a little weak. This body had been poorly taken care of since childhood, and she needed to slowly recuperate. It would not heal quickly.
So after getting off work, she lay down on the kang. When Shen Qingqing saw her, she took the initiative to ask if she wanted her to help wash clothes, but Lu Xia refused.
I actually have some good feelings towards this kid.
