Meng Tao followed the earth-shattering tractor back to the village, the car carried a few bags of fertilizer, a little weight pressed the car body but not so bouncing, Meng Tao sat on the quilt wrapped in thick kraft paper, she in addition to buying two new quilts, half a bag of elastic cotton ready to make pillows and winter cotton jackets, but also bought a small steel pot for cooking, an iron pot for stir-frying, and a large copper kettle for boiling water, stacked on the lap like a baby, otherwise it would be upside down.

In addition, I also bought a small wind stove, a few dishes, a clay pot for washing vegetables and dishes, a pound of coarse salt, and bought two pounds of rapeseed oil with an oil ticket and put it into the space.

Chopping boards, chopsticks, spoons, spatulas, vegetable baskets, baskets, etc., there are carpenters and carpenters in the village, which are easy to do.

When Wang Shuifeng asked Meng Taohua to move to Tian's house, he took away all the pots and pans used in daily life, and now the kitchen utensils used by the educated youth are not from the Meng family, fortunately, Zhou Shi'an and Bao Shunfeng stopped the furniture on the grounds that the old man Meng's bones were not cold, otherwise they would be removed by Wang Shuifeng.

Washbasins, buckets, kettles, etc., bought in the provincial capital, just take it out of the space, go to the commune today, Meng Tao refused to be accompanied by Zhou Cuiling, also for convenience.

The tractor stopped in front of the warehouse of the brigade headquarters, the tractor hand was busy carrying the fertilizer to put it away, Meng Tao took the opportunity to ask the warehouse keeper to borrow a flat pole and two large baskets, loaded everything, and carried it home.

Seeing that it was almost noon to finish work, Meng Tao was not busy putting things away, all of them were locked in the room, changed into old clothes, first went to return the flat pole and basket, and then took advantage of the fact that Captain Bao Shunfeng did not come back, and took a firewood knife to the Daqingshan at the back of the village.

If Bao Shunfeng saw her, she would definitely have to call her to work with the production team, but that's not good, her business hasn't been done yet.

Climbing halfway up the mountain in one breath, Meng Tao did not feel tired, still had strong legs and feet, full of spirit, at this time deeply realized the benefits of space to the body, she did not have such physical strength in her previous life, and although Meng Taohua was used to farm work, it was no problem to climb the mountain and go to the ground, but she was injured a few days ago, and she was concussed when she was knocked by Tian Xianglan, and she would definitely not recover so quickly if there was no space.

Meng Tao went up the mountain to cut bamboo, she entered the space last night and saw that those melons and beans had climbed up the stone platform, and she had to set up a good shelf, otherwise, the stone platform of only ten square meters would not be able to settle down.

Those antique tables and chairs collected in the provincial capital, it is not a way to always pile them up in the space, they take up too much space, but they can't be released, they are all antique-level old objects, and they will be robbed when they are released, so they have to be stacked like this first, and they will be put for a few years, which is also very sad.

Finding a verdant bamboo forest, Meng Tao cut more than 30 long straight bamboos with the thickness of his arms, shaved off the branches and leaves, and regardless of its length and shortness, he put all his brains into the space, and then went in at night to build a shelf.

After cutting the bamboo, it's time to chop firewood, and when they all go up the mountain, they always have to carry firewood back, and they need firewood to boil water for cooking.

Meng Tao picked up a bunch of dry firewood branches in the mountains and forests, tied them into two bundles with rattan, these can be burned at night, and then went to the weeds to cut miscellaneous wood and raw firewood, dry firewood branches are naturally dropped from the big tree, relatively fine and brittle, the raw firewood is thick and tough, and it is resistant to burning after drying, Meng Tao can understand these, and it is also known from the memory left by Meng Taohua.

Chopping wood will also be addictive, especially when encountering a large piece of good firewood, I just don't want to stop, occasionally I will encounter wild lemon trees, full of lemon fruits, some of the peel is still green, some have been golden yellow, just smell the smell is very fragrant, Meng Tao picked a lot and put it into the space, add a piece of lemon to the boiling water and taste very good, you can also make pickled lemons, sugar and salt, if there is a duck, you can also cook a lemon duck to eat...... The more Meng Tao thought about it, the more greedy she became, and her saliva was about to run down.

Looking up at the sky, there is no sun on a cloudy day, and I can't tell when, I should have lunch, I hurriedly took out a box of biscuits from the space and chewed them, this is an imported biscuit that Shen Yu bought from somewhere, for Meng Tao, who has tasted a lot of western pastries, the taste is okay, if she is thirsty, peel a fresh lemon, a little sour, she can eat it, and lunch is just like this.

Biscuits are snacks after all, and I feel a little full in my stomach, so I don't eat them, and continue to chop wood, Meng Tao decided to cut all the firewood, and then bundle them up and put them in the space to take home.

In the future, every time she went up the mountain to chop firewood, she picked up a load, and two loads were automatically added to the firewood stack, and others did not know her secret, but only thought that she was really a hardworking and capable girl.

I don't know how long it took to cut it, Meng Tao looked up and looked in front again, and finally recognized a fact: it was impossible for her to cut the firewood on the mountain.

So he decisively put away the knife and began to pull the rattan to tie it, and was busy for a long time, but it was tied into more than 60 bundles of firewood, and there were other things in the space, and I was afraid that it would crush those few antique porcelain jars, which could not fit so much, so I had to load half of them, and the other half of them were left in piles on the mountain, and then they would come up to carry them when they were free.

He cut down a thick piece of firewood to make a flat pole, and picked up two bundles of dry firewood and went down the mountain.

When I got home, I saw that the educated youths had come back to make dinner, and when I asked Qian Liang, who was wearing a watch, I knew that it was six o'clock.

The educated youths started a gang together, took turns to cook, today it was Qian Liang and Qian Xiaoyun's turn, Qian Liang sat in the yard washing vegetables and shallots, Qian Xiaoyun was busy in the kitchen, heard Meng Tao coming back, Qian Xiaoyun ran out and asked her if she wanted to eat together, this time Meng Tao did not refuse, nodded and agreed, now she has food, just add some food to partner.

Unload the firewood in the other corner of the kitchen, she wants to build a stack of firewood here, there are only two bundles today, it will increase slowly, and then cut a few bundles of grass to cover it on the top, and there are firewood and farm tools of the educated youth in the firewood room, she does not plan to go in and squeeze it, if they find that her firewood has only increased for a long time, I am afraid that it will arouse suspicion.

went back to the room and scooped half a bowl of rice, and then brought the oil pot to the kitchen, and told Qian Xiaoyun that this was newly bought rapeseed oil, and you could pour more stir-fried vegetables, Qian Xiaoyun waved his hand: "No, no, we live in your house, you are the landlord, it's okay to have a meal together." ”

Meng Tao smiled and said: "It's okay, we will often eat together in the future, quickly wash the rice and cook it in the pot, or it will be half-cooked later." ”

After speaking, he turned around and looked around the kitchen, the big stove is still there, a big iron pot on the top should be given by the brigade department, the educated youth are specially used to boil water and hot water, two small stoves, cooking rice and stir-frying, the other wall is against a bulky large cupboard, there is a person high, divided into three layers, the upper floor is a sliding door, the middle and lower floors are closed with double doors, the old man Meng asked the carpenter to do, the good wood used, so many years will not return to the moisture and mold.

Meng Tao stood on tiptoe and looked at the upper floor of the cupboard, and said to Qian Xiaoyun: "Two layers for the eight of you are enough to put things, so I will use this upper layer in the future." ”

Qian Xiaoyun nodded: "Then you have to buy a lock and lock it yourself, and we will lock it too, because when you usually go to work, the courtyard gate is so hidden, and no one knows when they come in." And that Tian Xianglan also lived here before, and her children loved to run around the lot, and we lost things several times, so we had to be careful. ”

"Okay, I got it."
