Chapter 8: Winter is coming
I haven't eaten dumplings once when I came here, recalling those delicious dumplings, I can't help but stutter, Zhong Yuxiu immediately walked out, with a temperament of doing what she said.
Yan Rushan was helpless to dissuade, "Go out now, do you want to show your stuffing?" ”
"yes, I'm a patient now." Zhong Yuxiu couldn't resist the urge to eat dumplings, and smacked her lips, "You can't eat dumplings with flour, it's so miserable." ”
"......." Yan Rushan, "You go back to the house, pretend to be a little, I'll go outside to look for wild vegetables, what wild vegetables do you want to make dumplings?" ”
"Do you know all the types of wild vegetables?" Zhong Yuxiu chuckled: "Gray cabbage, do you recognize Comrade Yan?" ”
"Is there such a dish?"
Yuxiu laughed and said: "Gray gray cabbage is good for the human body, it can supplement zinc and calcium, and it is better to eat gray gray cabbage in the first season than to take tonics." ”
The smile is good-looking, and the laughter pierces the heart, Yan Rushan's face is as black as the bottom of the pot.
At a glance, Zhong Yuxiu said disappointedly: "Forget it, I'll bear with it, and I'll make dumplings tomorrow when I'm in good health." ”
"Whatever you want." Yan Rushan turned around with a cold face and left.
"I don't recognize it, it doesn't make people laugh, huh." Zhong Yuxiu went back to the room with a smile, and took advantage of the fact that everyone didn't come back, and took out the books in the box to read; The high school knowledge of this era is not difficult, and it is mostly something to learn in junior high school in later generations.
After three times of ancient times, three times of modern times, and through the interstellar age, I have learned a lot of knowledge; Now this little bit of knowledge is almost the same after reading it once, with the blessing of mental power, the review is faster, and it is effortless to read these books.
In the evening, when the educated youths came back, Zhong Yuxiu had already finished reading mathematics, chemistry, and physics, and the three books of physics and chemistry were the most difficult of these books; After reading all of this, I sorted out the knowledge points, put down the books and lay on the bed.
"Yuxiu, I heard that you are sick, are you feeling better now?" Jiang Mei and Sun Ruhong walked into the room.
Yuxiu responded with a weak smile, "It's much better, and I want to thank Brother Yan for personally driving the tractor to take me to the county seat to see a doctor, delaying Brother Yan's work." ”
"It's okay, you're too weak." Sun Ruhong breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and sat down on the edge of the bed, "We didn't see you when we woke up, we just thought you went outside for a walk; I didn't see anyone for a long time when I arrived at the work point, but later Comrade Yan went to the captain to ask for leave, and Sister Jiang Mei and I knew that you were sick. ”
Zhong Yuxiu smiled embarrassedly, "I took a nap at noon, and when I woke up, I had already gone to the mountain; I wanted to find some meat, but I don't know when I had a fever, and I fainted on the mountain, but Brother Yan saved me. ”
Jiang Mei and Sun Ruhong glanced at each other, let go of the doubts in their hearts, Jiang Mei tapped her forehead, "You! This can't be the case next time, there is a lot of game in the mountains, but not every time you can catch it; It's also dangerous in the mountains, but fortunately, Comrade Yan also went to the mountains, otherwise it's up to you what to do. ”
"But isn't it, we've eaten a lot of meat in the past month, and if we want to eat meat, it's over; You can't go on any more adventures in the mountains, how can you lose your life for a bite of meat? ”
"I know, I was wrong, I'll pay attention next time, Sister Jiang Mei, Sister Ruhong, everyone is back, and dinner hasn't been cooked yet." Busy diverting the topic.
Sun Ruhong couldn't laugh, "Okay, I know you're impatient with us nagging, Sister Jiang Mei and I will go to cook; You rest, we'll call you when you're ready. ”
The two came back after cooking and called Zhong Yuxiu to go to the hall together for dinner, and after the meal, they each freshened up and lay down early; Yujia Village has no electricity yet, so if you don't go to bed early, you can only light oil lamps or candles at night.
In the farmhouse, oil lamps cost oil, candles are also valuable, and the educated youth are generally not rich; Most of them are thrifty, and Sun Ruhong and Jiang Mei are no exception.
On the erection day, Zhong Yuxiu followed the people from the Zhiqing Point to the ground, Sun Ruhong and Jiang Mei wanted to persuade her to rest for two more days, her body was her own, and no one could suffer for her; But when he saw Yuxiu's ruddy face, he didn't say anything persuasive.
The less work they do, the less work they get; It's all about the distribution of food and labor, where can I rest when I want?
Zhong Yuxiu is still a newcomer, and she has to pay back the work to the team in the second half of the year, once she owes the team work, what can she do in the second half of the year and the first half of next year?
Not to mention that Zhong Yuxiu can hunt prey on the mountain, if she doesn't see her, she doesn't have a harvest every time, and hunting in the mountains can only be used as leisure time income.
Time flies like a white horse, two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and there is no time to make dumplings; During this period, Yan Rushan and Zhong Yuxiu never entered the county again, and occasionally went to the mountains to find some prey and came back to open meat, and the brigade ushered in another grain distribution.
This time it is divided into coarse grains, and the most is sweet potatoes, and this harvest is mainly sweet potatoes.
Yan Rushan and other male intellectuals shared 500 catties, and two female intellectuals also had 400 catties; Only Zhong Yuxiu was the least, and he returned the work of the brigade, only one hundred and fifty catties, plus some coarse grain, if there was no grain in the county for more than a month before, I am afraid that he could only rely on wild vegetables to survive.
All the grain was moved back to the Zhiqing Point and stuffed into the cellar, and the busiest time of the year had passed; It's cold in winter, and there's not much to do, even in the south.
Winter is coming, and the people at the Zhiqing Point have changed into thick clothes such as cotton jackets, and only Zhong Yuxiu brought a few thin clothes to the countryside, and there are not even thick clothes at this time.
Seeing this, Sun Ruhong and Jiang Mei rummaged through the cabinets, and one of them found a set of old clothes full of patches for Zhong Yuxiu.
"Yuxiu, we don't have many cotton clothes, although these two clothes are a little shabby, they can barely keep warm, don't dislike them." The two of them have average family backgrounds, the burden at home is still heavy, and they occasionally have to support distant families, and they are reluctant to use their respective money, and it is more reassuring to have money in their hands.
Zhong Yuxiu thanked with a smile, "Thank you, Sister Ruhong, Sister Jiang Mei, for me, some of them are very good to wear, and when I change to cloth and cotton, I will wash the clothes and return them to you." ”
"Okay." Sun Ruhong handed her two cotton clothes, "Hurry up and change them." ”
Yi Yan took off his thin clothes and changed into a cotton jacket with patches, Zhong Yuxiu patted the clean cotton jacket and smiled, "Sister Ruhong, Sister Jiang Mei, I want to go to the mountains to have a look, you can play at home." ”
"What are you doing in the mountains? On a cold day, the mountains are afraid that it will be even colder. Jiang Mei's eyebrows were furrowed, and her face was full of disapproval.
"It's not really cold in the mountains, the trees and grasses are lush, but it's not as cold as the bottom of the mountain." Yuxiu paused slightly, and said, "Sister Jiangmei, I'll call Brother Yan later, and we'll pay attention to safety." ”
Jiang Mei was slightly relieved, "With Brother Yan accompanying you into the mountain, we can rest assured and go early and return early." ”
"Okay, Sister Jiang Mei, Sister Ruhong, see you later." Walking out of the room, I saw that the male intellectuals were all in the yard, some were washing clothes, some were chatting, Yuxiu laughed, "Several comrades are here!" ”
Several male intellectuals turned their heads and nodded, only Luo Jianmin had a hippie smile, "Comrade Zhong is going out?" ”
The male intellectuals looked at the person fixedly, waiting for her to speak.
"Yes, I want to go to the mountains, will you go?" Yuxiu asked with a chuckle, with a gentle attitude.
"I'm not going, it's too cold outside, I'll go back to the house after washing my clothes." Luo Jianmin decisively refused, and Wang Yishan and Feng Jianjun also shook their heads and said they would not go.
Yan Rushan's eyes moved slightly, "It's okay to go up the mountain to find some meat, Comrade Zhong, I'll go with you." ”
