Chapter 3 Fish, Turtles, Shrimps and Crabs
According to the temperature in the space, if you plant wheat, it will mature in about 120 days, and the 120 days in the space are only five days outside, and you can harvest once in five days, even if the land area in the space is not large, it is enough.
Early the next morning, as soon as Ye Lin woke up, he heard his mother Li Ran shouting outside: "Son, are you awake?"
"Wake up, wake up. ”
"Get up as soon as you wake up, and I'll take you to grandma's house after dinner." ”
"Well, got it. ”
When Ye Lin got dressed and came out of the bedroom, the meal was already on the table, and breakfast was very simple, millet porridge, pickles, and, of course, corn tortillas and a white-flour steamed bun.
However, this simplicity is equivalent to later generations, in this era, this is not simple, such a meal, in this era many people may not be able to eat.
"Go brush your teeth and wash your face. Li Ran handed the toothbrush that had squeezed the toothpaste to Ye Lin.
"Thank you, Mom. ”
Ye Lin took the toothbrush and ran out, there was no running water in the house, whether it was brushing his teeth or washing his face, he had to go to the yard, because there was only one faucet in the yard, but fortunately, Ye Lin's family lived in the backyard and did not have to share a faucet with other people.
When Ye Lin came over, his sister Ye Qi had already finished brushing her teeth and was washing her face, and when she saw Ye Lin coming, she hurriedly gave up her place to him and said, "Little brother, hurry up, let's leave after eating." ”
"Got it, sister. ”
After eating, Li Ran took his sister and brother out, out of Xijiaomin Lane and went north, not far from Tiananmen Square, where there is a No. 29 bus leading to Mentougou.
Ye Lin's family doesn't have a bicycle, even if there is a bicycle, it is impossible to ride such a long way, if Li Ran is alone, there is nothing, don't forget that she still has two children.
There are not as many buses in this era as in later generations, just like the No. 29 bus to Mentougou, which only runs once every two hours, and when Ye Lin and the others came, the first bus had not yet departed.
The three of them found a random place to sit down, and as soon as they sat down, the conductor came over and said, "Comrade, where are you going?"
"Let's go to Mt. Myomine. ”
"Miaofeng Mountain. ”
Because Ye Qi and Ye Lin are less than one meter two, they are children, they don't need to buy tickets, they just need Li Ran to buy tickets by themselves, for their height, to be honest, Ye Lin is very speechless.
If it is placed in the next life, it is less than one meter two at the age of ten, which is basically a waste, but it is normal in this era, Ye Lin does not dare to expect to exceed the height of his previous life, as long as he can reach the height of his previous life.
Although Ye Lin was not very high in his previous life, he was also 1.78 meters, which is more than enough than the upper and lower than the bottom, if only he could have 1.78 meters in this life, otherwise Ye Lin would die of depression.
"Okay. Li Ran handed the conductor a dime, and then the conductor gave Li Ran a ticket.
After nearly two hours of bumps, the bus arrived at Miaofeng Mountain, and Li Ran got off the bus with his two siblings.
Miaofeng Mountain is not a town now, but Miaofeng Mountain Commune, Ye Lin and they can only take a car to get here, and then they have to walk several kilometers of mountain roads to get to Ye Lin's grandmother's house.
"Come son, I'll carry you. Coming to the sheep intestine trail leading to the mountain, Li Ran squatted down and said to Ye Lin.
"No need Mom, I'll go by myself. After speaking, Ye Lin took the lead and walked forward.
In the past, when he was young, Li Ran carried one in front and one in the back, but now that Ye Qi and Ye Lin have grown up, how can they still let Li Ran carry them, Ye Lin walks by himself, so Ye Qi is not to mention.
Although it was only a few kilometers, it took more than an hour to walk hard, mainly because the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, and when he came to his grandmother's house, Ye Lin was already sweating, not to mention Li Ran and Ye Qi.
"Grandpa, grandma, I'm here. Before entering the hospital, Ye Lin shouted loudly.
Ye Lin's shouting suddenly made chickens fly and dogs jump, no way, this is in the mountains, the sound can be heard far away, plus Ye Lin's shouting is relatively loud, not only the chickens and ducks raised by his grandmother were alarmed, but even the neighbor's house a few hundred meters away.
As the chickens and dogs jumped over, Ye Lin's grandparents also came out of the yard, and the grandmother took Ye Lin in her arms and said, "Oh, my eldest grandson, let my grandmother take a look." ”
My grandparents are still very young, only in their fifties, and they got married early in that era, even Li Ran, a college student, got married just after graduation, not to mention others, you must know that Li Ran is only thirty-three this year, and the children are already ten years old.
"Grandma. Ye Lin shouted coquettishly.
To be honest, he enjoyed this feeling very much, the feeling of being pampered and hurt by others, which he had never enjoyed in his previous life.
"Alright, almost. "Grandpa is not happy, of course he is not eating Ye Lin's vinegar, but eating grandma's vinegar, because grandma occupies Ye Lin.
"Grandpa. Ye Lin let go of his grandmother and ran over to hug his grandfather.
"Hahaha, okay, I'm getting taller again. Grandpa touched Ye Lin's head.
After Ye Lin let go of his grandmother, Ye Qi went over to hug his grandmother, and it has been like this all these years, Ye Qi has been surprised, and even said that he has become accustomed to it.
"Come inside quickly, it's hot outside. ”
It's still cool in the mountains, at least a few degrees lower than outside, but if you stand under the sun, it's still hot, even in the mountains.
"Mom, here's some cloth I brought you, and you can make a dress for Dad and you when you go back. After coming to the house, Li Ran hurriedly took out the gift he brought and handed it to Ye Lin's grandmother.
What is most lacking in the countryside is not food, nor money, although it is also very short of money, at least there is a little, but the cloth is different, because in this era to buy cloth you need cloth tickets, and the cloth tickets from the countryside.
"Oh, no, no, my dad and I have a piece to wear, you can take these cloths back and make some new clothes for the two children. ”
My grandfather's house is a scholarly family, I prefer to be clean, although the clothes worn by my grandparents are very old, but they are very clean, especially the clothes on my grandfather's body, blue clothes are about to become white clothes.
"Mom, just keep it, there are still at home, besides, this color of fabric is not suitable for making clothes for two children. ”
"Yes, Grandma, just keep it, we all have new clothes. Ye Lin came over at this time and pulled his grandmother's clothes and said.
Ye Lin is right, he does have new clothes, let's put it this way, two-thirds of the cloth tickets at home are used on him, and the remaining one-third is used on Li Ran and Ye Qi.
In the city, although cloth tickets are also very tight, they can still be obtained, you know, not everyone has such a good life with Ye Lin's family, many families will not buy cloth once a year.
"Alright then, I'll take it. ”
"Hmm. Li Ran handed the cloth to his mother, then took out another fifty yuan and handed it to his father and said, "Dad, you can keep this fifty yuan, and buy something when you go back to the commune." ”
"You take this money back, we have food and clothing here, we don't need it at all, we didn't spend the money you gave before, I saved it for you. ”
"Dad, you don't have to save it, you can spend what you give you, and the family has money. ”
Li Ran has a salary of forty-two yuan and five yuan a month, even in the city, this salary is very high, living in the city, the family is difficult, five yuan can be enough for two people's living expenses for a month.
Ye Lin's family lives better, and with the help of his grandmother's family, it will cost a maximum of more than a dozen yuan a month, so that Li Ran can save twenty or thirty yuan every month.
In the end, my grandfather didn't accept this money, just like he said, he couldn't spend any money at all, the family had food and clothing, and he didn't need money at all, besides, even if he had money, he had to have a place to spend it.
"You talk, I'll cook. Grandma put the cloth down, stood up and said.
"Mom, don't cook my food, I'll leave right away. ”
"Why do you have to leave as soon as you arrive, even if you leave, you have to finish eating before leaving. Grandma took Li Ran's hand and said.
"Mom, I took half a day off, and I will go back when I send the two of them, and I will come to pick them up after a few days of official holidays, and I will stay here for two days at that time. ”
"This ......"
"Alright, since she has work to do, let her go back. "Grandpa spoke at this time.
Li Ran went back, Ye Lin and Ye Qi stayed, although it is said that Ye Lin also lived for seventeen or eighteen years in his previous life, but he has no childhood, an orphan, what kind of childhood can he have, so he is now enjoying his childhood life very much.
After chatting with his grandfather for a while, Ye Lin pulled Ye Qi and ran out, this is a mountainous area, there is not too deep water, so my grandfather and grandmother are also very relieved, but it is still arranged for two people not to go to the mountains.
"Little brother, why are you going?" came to the outside of the courtyard, Ye Qi asked.
"There are a lot of fish and shrimp in the creek in front, let's go catch them. ”
"No, you can't go. Ye Qi hurriedly shook his head.
"What's wrong?"
"Mom said, don't let you go into the water. ”
"I know, but my mother said that I would not be allowed to go into deep water, and the stream in front of me was not up to my knees, so there was no danger. ”
"This ......"
"Alright, don't do this or that, let's go. After Ye Lin finished speaking, he couldn't help but pull Ye Qi and go to the creek.
The water in this creek is left from the mountains, just like Ye Lin said, the water is very shallow, and it has just reached Ye Lin's knees, but this creek is not narrow, it is three or four meters wide.
The reason why Ye Lin had to come here was because he fell in love with the fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs in the creek, these are all good things, but they are not available in the city, only in the countryside, in the streams in the mountains.
Of course, you can also buy it in the city, go to the aquatic company, but the price is not cheap, ordinary people go to buy a fish at most, and families like Ye Lin and their can't go there a few times a year.
"Sister, you stay up there, I'll go down and catch it. ”
Before Ye Qi could object, Ye Lin had already taken off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, jumped in, and had already gone down, even if Ye Qi wanted to stop it, it was too late.
