Zhou Sining didn't want to listen to the two people in the house at all, and he had been talking about it over and over for more than ten years, basically he hadn't turned over the tricks, he hadn't said enough, and there was no one left.

When she left the hall, she went to the right, and the one at the top of the west wing was the utility room.

Pulling open the door and entering, there were several large backpacks stacked up against the wall, and she pulled out the top one, which contained the tools she used every day to climb the mountain. A bundle of straw rope for tying firewood, a small shovel for digging wild vegetables, and a half-high bamboo basket that is round and fastens to the bottom of the basket.

After taking all the things and leaving the door of the utility room, she walked out of Zhou's house without looking back.

After leaving the house, turn right and arrive at your destination in less than 10 minutes. Although it is said to be an uphill, in fact, there is no big mountain here in Xitang Village, and the so-called mountains are small hills dozens of meters high.

There are no big trees on it, there were some miscellaneous trees on it before, and then the country was liberated, and the land was rectified here, and these small hills were owned by Xitang Village, and then the village chief took all the villagers to cut down the miscellaneous trees on it according to the instructions above, and planted apple saplings issued by the state.

"Big girl, are you here to collect firewood too?" Suddenly, a clear female voice came down from the mountain.

Zhou Sining looked up at the mountain, just facing the sun, she raised her hand, covered it in front of her forehead, and squinted her eyes, only then did she see that it was the second girl of Zhou Rengui's family in the same village who called her.

"Hey, it's Sister Youping, you came so early today. Zhou Sining also shouted with a smile.

"Hehe, I can't lie down at home, so I might as well come and pick up two more firewoods. Youping stood up and straightened her waist.

"But isn't it, my firewood is about to run out, so I won't tell you more, I have to go and pick up some quickly, or my mother should scold me again." Zhou Sining didn't say much to others, but he was also afraid that he would make a lot of mistakes, after all, the core had changed, so he shook his hand with people, and did not dangle at the foot of the mountain, but bypassed the mountain and prepared to go back.

"Hey, that's okay, I'm also busy, I have time to go to my house to play. Youping saw that the person had already walked back, and smiled politely.

"Okay, I'll go when I have time. Zhou Sining's voice floated over from afar.

Xitang Village is a very good village, but it is not perfect, and it has a disadvantage that it lacks firewood.

Originally, there were three main sources of firewood for cooking and boiling water in the village, and most of them relied on the buds and rice stalks recovered from their own fields and the sun-dried seedlings of other crops. In autumn, if anyone feels that there is not enough firewood at home, they will go up the mountain to prune and prune the miscellaneous trees, and the branches that are cut down are also good firewood to burn at home to dry. If you still feel that the firewood is not enough, then you can only be diligent, and when the weeds are lush in summer, you can cut it back and spread it out in the yard to dry, which can also do something.

But now the miscellaneous trees on the mountain have been replaced by apple trees, and this apple tree belongs to the state, and whoever dares to cut down the branches of the apple tree and burn it will be a big deal, a big deal. So now the people of Xitang Village can only wait for the branches to fall from the trees themselves.

But waiting for the branches to fall down from the fruit trees, how much they will fall, and when they will fall, it is not up to the villagers to say, so saving firewood is also an important job at home.

The hill near Xitang Village is really not big, and the fruit trees planted on it are not too dense, and there are more than 100 planted on a mountain bag, and the branches that fall are not enough for one person to pick up, so generally see that there are already people on the hill, and the later people will not go up, after all, one person is not enough to pick up, and two people can not pick up anything when they squeeze together.

Someone came earlier today than Zhou Sining, occupying the mountain closest to the village, Zhou Sining wanted to pick up more firewood, and he didn't want to get together with the people he knew from the original owner, for fear of revealing his feet, so he could only go back and find a mountain bag with no one.

She walked west along the path at the foot of the mountain, and in a few minutes she found a suitable mountain bag, and after making sure that there was no one here, she lifted her feet and went up the mountain.

When she went up the hill and saw the apple trees, she began to work with her head bored.

She would walk around under each tree, and if she saw a fallen branch on the ground, she would pick it up, no matter how big it was. The big ones were bundled with the straw rope they brought, and the small ones were thrown directly into the basket.

Walking around looking for the gap, she dragged a handful of grass, flipped her hands up and down, and in a few clicks she made a grass cage with a very small gap.

When she was finishing, she happened to see fresh wild vegetables under her feet, so she put aside the straw cage in her hand, took out the shovel in the back basket and began to dig.

Now this is the only dish of pickles on the dinner table at home, although it is not very delicious without oil and salt, but it is better than eating without vegetables.

Digging wild vegetables Zhou Sining has never done this job in her previous life, but this is not a technical job, and in the past month, she has already made the small shovel in her hand very slippery. Just look at her holding a small shovel in one hand and turning around at the root of a purslane, and the purslane was completely dug up, with less than a centimeter of roots on her buttocks.

Zhou Sining picked up the small root with his other hand, shook the wild vegetables down a few times, and then threw the wild vegetables into the back basket with a flick of his hand.

Suddenly, a grasshopper jumped in front of her, she quickly went up with one hand, buckled the grasshopper into the palm of her hand, and then the other hand went up to help, and caught the live grasshopper in her hand in three or two clicks.

Zhou Sining looked at the grasshopper with a fat head and big ears in his hand, nodded with satisfaction, and took the grass cage that had just been woven with his free other hand and stuffed it in.

A few old hens in the family have made outstanding contributions to her belly, and she also has to repay the favor by giving a few more old hens to recuperate and recuperate.

After putting away the grasshoppers and making sure that there was no next target in front of her, she put the grass cage to the side, picked up the shovel, and continued to dig wild vegetables.

Wild vegetables are everywhere near Xitang Village, there are a lot of them, so she squatted in a place for a short time and dug a small half basket, and when she saw that there were insects, she also caught them, seeing that the wild vegetables in the back basket were enough to eat for a day, she didn't continue, put the back basket back again, and continued to go up the mountain.

There were still a lot of apple trees on the mountain, and she had to go around them all.

After she walked over here, she found that the people here didn't pay attention to hygiene at all, let alone taking a bath, and they didn't brush their teeth and wash their feet every day.

Later, she fused the memories of the original owner and learned that toothbrushes and toothpaste were bought for money, so the old farmer here had never brushed his teeth in his life.

As for bathing, there is a bathhouse in the town, but everyone is usually busy in the fields, so how can they go to the town to take a bath, and besides, bathing also costs money. In Xitang Village, all improper spending must be eliminated and spurned.

So when Zhou Sining walked through, he almost didn't go crazy about the lice all over his body. Later, in order to eliminate the lice on her body, she picked up the scissors without hesitation and clicked on her big braids.
