Chapter 31: No One Wants to Starve Her to Death

Grandma Zhang was also happy: "You girl is so funny when she talks." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Okay, you rest here and drink saliva. After a hundred days of breaking your muscles and bones, you are good, you go to the mountains all day long, and your uncle should talk about you again...... Oh, it's so late, so let's not talk about it, I'm going to cook these chickens. I'll clip the wings of the two you raised, so you don't have to fly......"

After a while, smoke rose from the chimney of the Zhang family, and the sultry air was filled with a mellow aroma unique to game.

Zhang Youkang walked into the courtyard gate with the medicine box, and saw Qingling sitting in the courtyard enjoying the coolness, and smiled clearly: "You picked up good things from the mountains again? Thanks to the fact that our house is surrounded by fields, the neighbors should wonder if they want to be close: two old things, busy with farming, still hiding at home to eat meat. ”

Qingling playfully stuck out her tongue, stepped forward to take the medicine box in the old doctor's hand, and said: "We didn't steal or rob, we don't care what we eat! Some people just have long tongues, and they don't concentrate on harvesting during the busy farming, and they always like to take care of other people's affairs, humming." ”

"Speaking of grabbing, you've suffered a lot this time. The old doctor squatted in front of the well and washed his face, took the towel handed by Qingling, and sighed regretfully while wiping.

"You didn't participate in this farm work, I heard a lot of gossip in the brigade, and I wanted to help you, but the president ...... Alas......" Zhang Youkang pursed his lips and shook his head.

The president and secretary can be said to be mortal enemies. Whenever the secretary strongly advocates it, the president always likes to contradict it.

But if you really want to talk about the grudge between the two, it's actually not that deep. Xu is secretary's prestige is higher than that of the president, and most members like to listen to the secretary, and they like to find the secretary to solve problems, which makes the president jealous.

Qingling smiled soothingly: "I didn't go to the field before and after the farming, don't I have my share in spring ploughing and peacetime?

"Who says it's not? But some people's hearts are so small, especially your uncle's family, who seized the opportunity to shout injustice in front of the president, saying that farming is the most tiring and bitter time, which will be compared to idle time, and you have to deduct work points...... There are more and more people who follow the trend, and they all feel that they are at a loss and that you are making a profit...... Alas......

If this momentum continues, when the grain is distributed, the president will stand on their side nine times out of ten...... But you're too worried, it's not that there are people who are sensible, who doesn't have a headache and brain fever? Oh, you hurt your arm and ask for a leave, and if you can't earn the work, you have to deduct it, which one is comfortable listening to the sensible? When it's their turn to ask for leave, do you have to deduct it like this? Who can afford it...... No matter how bad it is, there is me and your Grandma Zhang, who will be on your side to help you fight for it. After working hard for more than half a year, isn't it just for rations, how can people live after deducting it......"

"Thank you, Grandpa Zhang. Qingling smiled bitterly.

What can be said?

It is a fact that she has an injured arm and can't go out of work or get off the ground, and the president has nothing to say about deducting her work for this.

She has long been mentally prepared to halve her rations, taking one day off and one less day of work, and earning as much work as she earns in exchange for how much rations. But what she should get has to be deducted inexplicably, which is too much.

It's clear that you don't give people a way to live.

"Girl, you're worried. Grandma Zhang stewed chicken soup, walked out with an apron and said, "President, he doesn't dare to go too far." His eldest daughter-in-law was busy giving birth to a baby last year, and his daughter-in-law took several half-days off one after another. If he dares to deduct this, I will also turn out his daughter-in-law's old account for him to settle. ”

Qingling took Grandma Zhang's arm and rubbed it affectionately: "Thank you, Grandma Zhang." I'm not worried, but I really can't do it, so I went to the county party committee to ask if there was such a policy at the top. If it is really a request from above, we, as good social citizens, naturally have to abide by it. ”

"It's still a girl's idea!" The old doctor's eyes lit up when he heard this, he gave a thumbs up to Qingling, and turned back to persuade his wife, "You just listen to the girl, don't talk about the past, how can old accounts be so easy to turn over." Don't be too busy to help, but get into trouble. ”

"Gotta get it, I'm going to stew my chicken soup. Let's discuss it. Grandma Zhang scolded with a smile and went back to the stove room to see her chicken soup.

"Remember to put aside angelica, codonopsis, and throw a few red dates if you still have them. The old doctor raised his voice.

"You still need to say it!" Grandma Zhang's arrogant hum came from the stove room.

Qingling pursed her lips and smiled.

"Come on, girl, help the master bring this into the house. In the remaining corner of the hall, before the meal, let's smoke the mosquitoes. ”

The old doctor grabbed a handful of dried and mashed mugwort, put it in two rusty and broken lead bowls, lit it with a match, and let Qingling take one into the inner room, and put the other under the eaves in front of the door.

"When you go home in a while, you can also grab some moxa and go back, and put it in the house before going to bed to smoke, and keep you sleeping until dawn, and there will be no mosquitoes to disturb you. ”

Qingling recognizes this herb, called mugwort, during the Qingming to the summer solstice, at the foot of the mountain, beside the river embankment casually.

Even now, you can find a lot of young leaves in the mountains that have not bloomed.

Fresh leaves boiled water, the water can be drunk directly, or it can be used to mix noodles or blanch and chop up noodles directly, the dim sum made is beautiful and delicious, and the key is to sterilize, reduce inflammation and antiviral.

The dried leaves are mashed to burn incense, which can repel mosquitoes and ants.

I went into the mountains several times, but I didn't expect to pick some back and dry the smoked mosquitoes.

If you think about it, in addition to mugwort, there are many other common herbs in the mountains. Grandpa Zhang is old, and his legs and feet are inconvenient to go up the mountain, so he generally only goes around at the foot of the mountain, and the variety and quantity of herbs are as limited as you can imagine.

And she has a small golden body, and she can enter the belly of the mountain, which is the paradise of wild medicinal herbs. Using the identification method taught by the female doctor, she collected some commonly used medicinal materials and gave them to Grandpa Zhang. The rest, even if it's not for your own use, can be exchanged for money for tickets.

The more Qingling thought about it, the more she wanted to move, and she couldn't wait to get to the next morning early, so that she could carry the basket up the mountain.

The commune wanted to use her, deduct her work points, and reduce her rations, so she found another way, grabbed wild meat to replenish food, and dug up medicinal herbs for tickets. With hands and feet and little gold, no one wants to starve her!

……

"What do you say that little is doing when he goes out early and returns late every day?"

In the old house of the Shu family, Liu Qiaocui sat lazily on the stool after dinner, and poked her husband with chopsticks in a sour tone, "Hey, I heard that your cheap niece dried a lot of dried vegetables in the yard, and gave a lot of them to the people in the village. Do you think it is going into the mountains? What fruit can be picked at the foot of the mountain, and I can't find a single hawthorn with sour teeth. If there really are so many fruits, it will be her turn to pick them?"
