Meng Youyou thought that it was okay, so he spent all his time copying materials, and he didn't go out of the door for several days, so it was completed very quickly.

Seeing that the time was still early, Meng Youyou took the information and slowly swayed to the Zhiqing Point, thinking that there should be constant noise inside, and there should be a lot of people.

But I didn't expect that there was only one person.

"I'll send you the materials," Meng Youyou said as he looked at the person who happened to come out of the house.

She didn't ask where everyone went, and naturally she didn't ask where Lu Yizhou went, Jiang Chuan was there, and it was the same for him.

Jiang Chuan turned around and took out a bench from the room, "Let's sit down for a while." ”

"They all went to the production team," Jiang Chuan took the initiative to explain, "I'm afraid they won't be able to come back for a while." ”

If this was said in the house, and it was in the afterlife, Meng Youyou would definitely think about it unexpectedly, but in such an era.

It was specially chosen in the courtyard.

Jiang Chuan pressed the hair that curled up at the corners of his forehead, a little annoyed that he shouldn't have washed his hair last night and went to sleep without waiting for his hair to dry, "Have you had breakfast?" ”

"Eat, eat," Meng Youyou sat on the bench, put the notebook on his legs, and quickly replied.

Jiang Chuan glanced at her, knowing that she must have thought that she was looking for something to say, and she didn't explain, so she just went back to the house, "Wait a minute." ”

Meng Youyou nodded, didn't speak, and looked at the courtyard.

This house was specially built in the village when the educated youth went to the countryside, because their village location is good, so the educated youth stayed for a long time after they came.

When the policy is relaxed, you can return to the city, but I am afraid that this place will definitely be vacant for a while.

"This is the money I said before," Jiang Chuan handed her twenty-five yuan, and raised the cloth bag in his hand, "It's a piece of pork in it, I won't get it if someone else gave it yesterday, you can take it back and eat it." ”

Meng Youyou took the money, but didn't take the cloth bag, and excused himself, "You can't let the neighbor next door get it, just give them some when you get it." ”

Money is very valuable these days, the price of pork is not cheap, a pound of pork costs more than a dollar, and the pork in this bag is two or three catties.

The money is her reward for copying materials, and Meng Youyou will naturally take it when she should take it, but she shouldn't touch this pork.

"Then you take it back and cook it, and bring me a bowl when you go back," Jiang Chuan said in accordance with her words.

"It's just a piece of pork, since you can get it, you can help, don't you want to?" Jiang Chuan saw that she didn't seem very happy, so he asked rhetorically.

Speaking of this, it was not good for Meng Youyou to refuse, so he could only say, "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's because I don't have a pot at home, and I don't have a place to get it for you." ”

It's been a few days since they were separated, Meng Youyou and Wu Qingmei both ate on the stove borrowed by Qian Fengying, not to mention the choking of firewood, the key is that there is no place to fry vegetables at all, at most they can only connect the noodles or make a gnocchi under the water.

Jiang Chuan's smile became even bigger when he heard this, "Then you say it's a coincidence?" I happen to have an iron pot here, but it's a little small and dirty. ”

Small is not a problem, Meng Youyou and Wu Qingmei don't need to eat too much, not to mention bulky and inconvenient, as for dirty, it is not a problem.

The problem is that the iron pot is not easy to buy, and the tickets she needs are also difficult to find, she took his iron pot for nothing, wouldn't it be more to repay the human debt when she turned back?

"I'll give you money as if you were buying this iron pot," Meng Youyou decided, she couldn't take advantage of others for nothing.

Jiang Chuan raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth rose, "Then you can give two yuan." ”

He didn't want money, but Jiang Chuan knew that if he didn't accept a penny, Meng Youyou would definitely not be willing to accept the iron pot, and he asked for two yuan instead of one, because he didn't want to show that the purpose was too obvious.

"Okay," Meng Youyou said simply without objection.

In fact, she also earned two yuan to buy an iron pot, after all, she had to make a pot by herself, and it took a lot of effort to go back and forth.

In the past few years, every household has a large iron pot, embedded in the stove, and more than a dozen people in the family rely on it to eat.

Jiang Chuan took out the iron pot from the utility room, and roughly wiped the dust on it with a rag, "You have to wash it well when you take it back." ”

Meng Youyou saw that this iron pot was really small and dirty as he said, and he felt a lot more relieved, and smiled, "It's okay, it's all a trivial matter." ”

Jiang Chuan stuffed the money directly into his pocket, watched her hold the iron pot in one hand and the cloth bag in the other, and couldn't help but want to help, just standing in place and watching her back slowly disappear.

He remembered that when he came back from the county seat a few evenings ago, he saw her squatting in front of the thatched hut, holding a book and fanning the dry wood in the stove vigorously, so that the flame could be more vigorous, and she was a little clumsy.

Now that he has an iron pot, a simple stove, and a meat dish with pork, he can be regarded as celebrating her.

A new life, free and happy.

Because of the iron pot, Meng Youyou's mood is really good, and now their house is a sparrow, although it is small, it has all kinds of organs, but some things are a little old.

She was thinking that if the weather was good tomorrow, she would have to go to the county seat again, get some chicks or something, and come back to raise them, and she didn't need to make money by selling eggs, as long as she could lay a few eggs for them every day.

Of course, it would be nice if you could raise pigs.

In these years, pork is expensive, and it is fed two or three hundred catties of pigweed every day, and it can be sold for hundreds of yuan after finding someone to kill it at the end of the year, which is the most important source of income for many people.

Even if you have one less child, you will have one more pig, this is the mantra of many families, of course, whether you will have fewer children because of this, that has to be said separately.

Meng Youyou saw that it was still early, picked up the hoe and turned over the soil behind the house again, the land here has not been planted for a long time, Wu Qingmei is worried that the seeds will be difficult to grow, so it is necessary to make the soil as soft as possible.

"Yo, isn't this Meng Youyou?" Meng Lianhua saw a figure busy working here from a distance, and when she got closer, she saw who it was, and said with a little surprise.

This small thatched house belongs to their family, and Meng Lianhua remembers that her father built it before she got married, and over the years, it has not been used much.

"What's the matter, it's inhabited here?" Meng Lianhua saw the washed clothes hanging on the other side of the room, and asked with some curiosity.

The conditions here are poor, and it can even rain on rainy days, who would want to live in this place.

"Second aunt," Meng Youyou actually didn't want to pay attention to her, but she was worried that she would pull out her legs and push the door to go in to see, so she could only shout, "I live with my mother here now, and my sister will come here when she comes back from school." ”
