At the beginning of the third month of the lunar calendar, it seems that suddenly there is a lot of greenery on the cliffside, mixed with a little yellow flower from Huanghualang.

Huanghualang is another name for dandelion, and it also belongs to the life-saving dish of the people of the Loess Plateau.

In addition, there are white artemisia, bitter herbs, and shepherd's cabbage...... As long as you can put your mouth on it, it will be searched for by people all over the mountains this season.

People living in later generations can never imagine how eager the peasants of this era were to fill their bellies.

In order not to make her home look so special, even Orchid often digs wild vegetables with her mother-in-law and aunts in the village. Wang Manyin's family naturally had no shortage of food, and almost every ten days and a half months, he would get some food from the "bazaar" and come back.

Of course, this is his rhetoric for orchids.

In fact, since the beginning of spring, Wang Manyin has not dared to go to the market again. Now the management of the market is becoming stricter and stricter, and I don't know how many people who do small business have problems.

Some of those grains were bought from Mijia Town last year, and more of them belonged to the output of the space, which was prepared for this day.

In a little more than a month, when the second wheat harvest is harvested, his family will be able to achieve self-sufficiency.

However, his family has a consignment point, and people come and go every day.

Afraid of attracting attention, Wang Manyin didn't dare to take it out, at most twenty or thirty catties at a time, and then find a way after eating.

Kept in space, far safer than the outside world.

In addition, Wang Manyin's food has also changed now, two meals a day in the black nest, and he is sick to his stomach when he eats. There's no way, now that many people in Jar Village are about to break down, they can't be special anymore.

Only at night, when it gets dark, will the two quietly make a good meal.

My family lives outside the village, and no one usually comes at night, and it is relatively safe to be guarded by rhubarb.

There is space and such a difficult traverser, Wang Manyin is probably the first.

In addition to his own family, the old father-in-law is not having a good time.

Every once in a while, he would ask the orchid to go back to deliver food.

Every time I don't send much, it is generally three or five catties, even if it is seen, it is not dazzling.

There are also three broken babies from neighbor Wang Qiusheng's family...... As long as they come, Wang Manyin will divide half of the black nest every time.

How much do you want to.

As for the rest of the village, there is no way.

However, this year, the pot village is slightly better, and the broken babies in the village can still find a few loach fish in the river every once in a while to fight for tooth sacrifices.

Not only the broken babies, but now even the adults often go to the river after work.

At the end of the day, it's all about stuttering.

Wang Manyin is naturally no exception...... In order to let the orchid drink the fish soup openly, he took advantage of the warmth at noon to carry his own wattle basket to the Dongla River.

As a result, as soon as he got off the cliff, he saw the old man Wang Mancang standing by a shoal, holding a fish basket woven of wattles in his hand.

Beside him, there are also two broken babies, who are his grandchildren.

The fish basket is also a new thing in the jar village. Before, there was no one in the village to catch fish, so of course there were no professional tools to prepare.

Some time ago, people didn't have much experience, and most of them were like Wang Manyin, using wattle baskets to catch fish. However, the basket is too large to be put in the water, and there are holes in the bottom of the basket, which can easily allow the fish to escape.

Later, according to the descriptions of the educated youth, the villagers began to make all kinds of light and simple fishing tools. In addition to fish baskets, there are also fish baskets, fishing nets, ......

"Brother Mancang, what about fishing?"

"Well, the babies are clamoring for fish, so I'll come to the river and have a look."

Wang Manyin walked closer and saw a wooden barrel next to him, so he couldn't help but turn his head to take a look.

"Hey, you've caught a lot......

In addition to the three loaches, there is also a large crucian carp. Get it back, add half a pot of water, throw some wild vegetables, enough for the family to eat a delicious fish soup.

Immediately, he asked tentatively, "Brother Mancang, have you ever seen so many fish in the Dongla River when you were young?"

Although it is separated by space, it is theoretically impossible for people to detect the anomaly. but

After letting go of the fish a few times, Wang Manyin was a little apprehensive in his heart.

"I haven't seen it, evil man! There have been fish in the Dongla River before, but never before have there been as many as this year. I have also heard that there are more fish under the Dongla River, and someone in Lijiapo caught more than three catties at a time......

Hearing the old man say this, Wang Manyin was completely relieved.

This is noisy, and I do have some grass and trees.

The entire Dongla River flows day and night, and he releases fish in the waters of Jarzi Village, but it does not mean that the fish stay where they are. Due to the muddy water of the river, many fish are carried downstream by the river. Of course, there are many who swim against the current. Only when they find the right water will they settle down.

Overnight, it is normal to be scattered in dozens of miles of water.

Even if anyone really doubts, they can't suspect the canister village.

After chatting with the old man for a while, Wang Manyin was ready to walk upstream for a while, find a hidden place to enter the space to catch a few crucian carp.

But before he could leave, he saw a few more people walking towards him with buckets. Wang Yanqiang took the lead, followed by Wang Lianshun and several educated youths.

Now everyone in the village has experience in catching fish, and they know that fish like clearer water. The water near the village of Jars is relatively clear in this shallow.

"Uncle Yanqiang, do you catch fish too?" Seeing others coming, Wang Manyin couldn't leave for a while.

"That's right, Manyin, we've brought something new with us this time. Let you see for a long time......" As he spoke, Wang Yanqiang suddenly threw something over.

Wang Manyin subconsciously stretched out his hand to take it, and then his face changed greatly, and he almost threw it out.

"***, Uncle Yanqiang, you want to up!"

As he spoke, he carefully placed it on the ground.

What the other party threw over was several cylindrical detonators that were bundled together.

Seeing this, Wang Yanqiang laughed: "Man Yin, I usually see that you are quite bold, why are you frightened by a few thunderbolts. Don't worry, it's actually safe. Smashing it with a sledgehammer won't necessarily explode, unless you hit the thunderbolt inside. When I used to be a soldier, I used this thing as a cannon during the Spring Festival, and the sound was loud, which was very festive!"

Is this festive?

Hearing this, Wang Manyin was speechless, and replied, "It's better to be careful."

But looking at the other people's flat looks, he felt like he was overreacting.

There is no way, safety education in later generations is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and people are so frightened that they retreat to five meters away when they set off fireworks.

In this era, people's sense of security is relatively weak, and they are all stupid and bold. Especially the group of broken babies, when they pick up firecrackers during the New Year, they are even more crazy.

As soon as many families lit the artillery, they rushed to the front to loot. If you encounter one that is still smoking, you can stomp it directly.

And the detonator is not as safe as Wang Yanqiang said.

When Wang Manyin was a child, he once saw a young man who didn't have his right hand, and he used a detonator to blow up the handle. Looking at Wang Yanqiang's appearance, he obviously planned to come to the river to fry fish.

He wanted to stop it with a voice, but the words stopped when they reached his lips. On this occasion, it is inappropriate to say something that is not fun.

In the expectant eyes of a group of people, Wang Yanqiang lit a cigarette and then ignited it.

Zizi ......

With sparks, the detonator was thrown into the puddle.

Tong, with a loud bang.

Turbid columns of water rippled on the surface of the water, followed by the churning of the waves.

When the water was calm again, everyone ran towards the puddle. On the turbid water, crucian carp and loaches with their stomachs floated......

In about ten minutes, everyone picked up thirty or forty loaches, more than ten beautiful large crucian carp, and some green shrimp.

Even Wang Manyin didn't expect that there were so many fish hidden in this seemingly inconspicuous puddle? What's more, it also verified his guesses.

As long as there is a pond around the Dongla River, fish and shrimp can be cultivated.

After such a toss, Wang Manyin completely dispelled the idea of catching fish, and saw that the time was not early, so he followed everyone back to the village.

On the way back to the village, he asked about the silt dam again.

Now that the detonators have arrived, it's time to start work. Because of Director Zhao, it has been delayed for more than ten days.

If we continue to grind, it is estimated that the wheat harvest may not be completed.

Hearing this, Wang Lianshun slowed down.

After distancing himself from everyone, he whispered, "I'll find someone to quietly calculate, the day after tomorrow is a good day, let's officially start work."

Although there have been ups and downs in these years, the common people still believe in the old traditions. When I encounter a house or do something big, I will quietly find someone to calculate it and ask for peace of mind.

Like Wang Manyin, there are very few people who dig new caves directly in a daze.

"If the day after tomorrow starts, I'll take two days off and go to the mountains to collect firewood!" Wang Manyin thought for a while.

He cut the firewood at home in Wolf's Den Mountain last winter, and he also stored a lot of it in the space at that time. But now it's burned, and there's not much left.

Once the construction of the silt dam started, Wang Manyin, as a laborer of the second team, was embarrassed to ask for leave. He didn't want to let the orchid collect firewood, so he could only take advantage of this free time to go to the mountains twice by himself.

"You go fetch firewood, great, bring Liu Xiangyang and them tomorrow." When Wang Lianshun heard this, he immediately nodded and agreed.

"What are you taking them for, isn't the team supplying firewood?" Wang Manyin asked strangely.

As far as he knows, these educated youths are living a very nourishing life. There are 36 catties of grain supply every month, plus half a catty of soybean oil, a catty of pork tickets, and seven yuan of living expenses.

As for the firewood, it was all supplied by the brigade.

Therefore, their living standards are definitely much better than those of most ordinary people in Jar Village. Usually the educated youths go to work in the team, except for Liu Xiangyang, who performs better, most of the rest are lazy and lazy, and some of them ask for leave more than Wang Manyin.

Why did such a group of people suddenly think of going into the mountains to collect firewood and suffer? Do you really think it's a joke to go back and forth twenty miles of mountain road?

"Hey, it's not like the brigade can't afford to supply it. At the beginning of spring, the educated youths had no firewood, and they kept secretly burning the wood from the brigade headquarters...... Originally, they planned to expand the livestock shed after the autumn, but they burned most of it. If it hadn't been discovered earlier, the wood in the half-cave would have burned out."

Hearing this, Wang Manyin really didn't know what to say. The intellectuals did not understand what wood meant to the people of the Loess Plateau.

If any villager does this, it must not be spared.

When Wang Manyin planned to go into the mountains to collect firewood, he was busy entering the space for a long time.

However, since Wang Lianshun explained, he couldn't refuse, so he could only nod helplessly: "Okay, let them join me tomorrow."
