Chapter 051: Don't Think About Relying on Others
That night, Yao Wenjing lit a dim kerosene lamp and sat at his desk all the time, looking at the class notes written by his uncle, as if he suddenly had the motivation to study.
Finally, it was not until the kerosene in the kerosene lamp was burned dry that she collapsed on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
She also dreamed, she dreamed of her uncle whom she had never seen before.
He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, a clean and fresh appearance, and looked at her with tenderness on his face.
"Jing girl, I'm sure you can."
That night, Yao Wenjing slept very steadily, and also slept very deeply, and when she woke up, it was already noon, and the sun shone in through the sycamore leaves outside the house, making her have a moment of trance.
Thinking of the scene in the dream, he was full of vitality and high morale, as if he had really talked to his uncle.
Xie Laogen's illness was a little better, and he was not idle, sitting in the yard and weaving bamboo utensils, from dustpans to baskets to earthen pockets and baskets, and when the scene was held, he took them to the market to sell, which was Xie Laogen's main source of livelihood.
Grandma sat next to him, chatting with him for a while, and she also told Xie Laogen.
"Be quiet when you chop bamboo, don't sleep quietly."
Yao Wenjing saw that there were potato cakes made by herself next to her grandmother, steaming, she was a little relieved, it seemed that her grandmother was in a good state, she knew that she was taking food, and she also knew that she was heating it to eat.
Besides, with Xie Laogen here, he can go up the mountain to dig Cordyceps with peace of mind.
It's just that she couldn't buy a special hoe for digging Cordyceps at the agricultural machinery station, and Yao Wenjing's leg injury was not completely complete, so she planned to go up the mountain in a few days.
The hoe for digging Cordyceps is much shorter than the traditional hoe, so it is easy to carry, and the Cordyceps sinensis is buried deep in the ground, well camouflaged, only a small section is exposed, if the hoe is too big, it is easy to dig it up, only a little bit of it is gouged out with a small hoe, so as not to hurt the Cordyceps itself.
In the end, Yao Wenjing found a discarded pickaxe, if it was polished, it should be similar to a professional hoe, but it was still a little difficult for her to make a pickaxe look like a hoe after burning it red.
She thought of Xie Yuanjiu out of an instinct, and when she walked into the yard, she saw that all the silt in the drainage ditches around the house had been cleared out, and as long as she didn't encounter a particularly big flash flood, it shouldn't have reached the room.
He shouldn't have worked all night, right?
Yao Wenjing looked into the room, wondering if Xie Yuanjiu was also sleeping, and he was too embarrassed to enter the house to disturb him, so he could only wait.
But waiting, until the next day, she didn't see Xie Yuanjiu come out of the house, she couldn't help it, and finally asked Xie Laogen.
"Grandpa Xie, is Uncle Yuan Jiu at home? Why haven't I seen him all the time. ”
Hearing Yao Wenjing call Xie Yuanjiu his uncle, but he called himself his grandfather, Xie Laogen always felt that something was wrong and felt awkward, but he didn't react for a while.
"You said Xiao Jiu, he went up the mountain early yesterday morning."
Yao Wenjing held a pickaxe in his hand and asked again.
"And when will he be back?"
During this time, the weather was fine, the snow on the mountain began to melt, and it was the best time to dig Cordyceps, Xie Laogen smiled.
"Jing girl, what is the matter with you looking for Xiao Jiu, I'm afraid he's going to go on a little half a month, go up the mountain to dig Cordyceps."
When Yao Wenjing heard this, he hid the pickaxe in his hand behind his back, and his entire cheeks puffed out with anger, turned around and ran into the house.
Angry, this person went up the mountain to dig Cordyceps, but he didn't even say a word to her, did he want to eat alone, for fear that he would rob him?
Yao Wenjing secretly scolded herself for being confused, didn't she understand in her previous life, she could only rely on herself in everything, and she couldn't help others, she could also beat the hoe out.
Where would Xie Laogen think that Yao Wenjing would also go up the mountain to dig Cordyceps, and before he turned the corner for a while, he followed behind him and asked.
"Jing girl, what is the matter with Xiao Jiu, you can tell me."
Yao Wenjing decided to make a small hoe by herself, and went directly into the stove room to burn the soldering iron.
"It's nothing, I'll just ask."
