Chapter 41: Choosing a Place
And the tench is not afraid of being discovered, the places where she walks are deep in the mountains where few people come in the village, even if the village wants to catch her as a model, they can't catch all the stolen goods, she doesn't admit it, and the village cadres can only stare dryly.
As for organizing people to go up the mountain to search ...... The mountain is so big, surrounded by mountains, that it is not worth it for them to find out a little bit of the grain she stole and grow.
Therefore, the tench now plans to find a suitable valley to farm the land next year, and she will come by herself to plant and harvest, and she will not starve the four of them to death.
Because if you want to farm, tench should find a valley with plenty of water, gentle terrain, and few trees on it.
However, it is easy to find strange rocky peaks, but it is really difficult to find a valley with fertile soil, and finally after comparing and comparing, I finally chose a canyon between the two mountains separated by a mountain from the hot spring mountain.
In that canyon, the water descends from the top of the mountain to form large and small waterfalls, and finally falls into a pool at the bottom of the mountain. There are a few gravel flats on both sides of the waterhole, and then extend the dense lawn, and about five or six acres of land can be opened around the waterhole to the side of the mountain.
After finding so many places, this valley is the most suitable for her in all aspects.
The main thing here is that there are very few trees on the ground, only a few small trees, and there are few roots left under the trees, so they will not compete with the crops for nutrients in the soil.
In addition, the mountain is high and the water is steep on both sides, and if the entrance is blocked, the animals in the mountains will not be harmed when the grain is planted and ripened.
Once you've chosen the land, it's time to plant the farming tools! Don't let her dig with her hands!
And because of the large-scale steelmaking in the past few years, iron farming tools are very difficult to get. Now it's all collective labor, and even more so the farm tools that each family can leave behind. Lao Ding's family has a small iron catalpa, also called a dung picker. It's a short handle, with a short iron hoe like a hoe in front.
Don't underestimate this short hoe, there may be every family in this village, everyone usually grows vegetables and plants their own land to go to the team to borrow farm tools, otherwise there are no farm tools.
And the old Ding family regarded the dung picker as much heavier than the tench and their granddaughters, and the granddaughter bumped it without asking a word, but if the dung picker bumped a little bit, these girls would have to be beaten hard. Therefore, of course, the tench family will not get such a valuable property from the old Ding family, and she has to find a way to buy farm tools for farming.
I don't know if there are farm tools sold in the black market in the county, if not, will she have to go to the village to steal a handful?
The tench returned home just before the sun set, and today she was lucky enough to catch a pigeon. I don't know if this pigeon is artificially raised, that fat! The tench didn't care if it was someone else's, anyway, she had already been beaten to death, so she stewed a bright pigeon soup and brought it back to drink soup and eat meat with the whole family.
was eating and talking about what happened in the village today.
"Today, the captain went to the commune for a meeting and brought back two people, they are miserable! It's worse than the abandoned woman of the Chen family! One was shaved off his head, the other was lame, and both of them were covered in dung, and they were arranged by the captain to live on the edge of the cowshed. ”
Hearing Erni say this, the tench remembered that it was time for someone to come to the village.
"Well, don't move forward when you're playing, don't follow if someone else pries you something."
Unlike Ding Yu and her uncle, who are reluctant to deal with people in the village, Erni is an extrovert, she likes to run to the village, even if she has to walk down with Sanni every day for more than 20 minutes, as long as the family is not alive, she has to go to the village.
The tench himself is an adult inside, and the identity of the uncle is special, neither of them is a normal child, for Erni, a normal child, the character of the hot tench does not stop.
At her age, it is the time to play hard, and she can never forget to take care of Sanni, and she is already a sensible child when she plays with Sanni without being cumbersome. Ding Yu thinks that she is already rare, but she definitely can't do this when she is young, and she feels like an adult is a bad person when she is detained at home and can only play after completing her homework!
And the abandoned woman of the Chen family she said lived in a family in the mountains even higher than their house.
To talk about this abandoned woman of the Chen family because the man ran away, and her in-laws kicked her out of the house again, she was blessed by misfortune and did not go to the farm, but came here.
However, in any case, although she broke off relations with the Chen family, her mother's family was originally in business, leaving her with a four- or five-year-old child. Anyway, she was a little pitiful, and she was left behind, but she was still born there, and she did the most tiring and dirtiest work in the village.
Erni often goes to the village, so she knows a lot of news, and when she heard her eldest sister tell her, she immediately nodded and agreed.
"I'm definitely not going to join in the fun! It's just that those two people are so miserable, and those children are still so bad, and they still throw stones and spit on them, which is annoying. ”
The tench touched her thinning hair, which was still not raised, and didn't know what to say. She can't instill anything in this child, she can only do her best to protect the people around her.
Since she wants to ask for food as her next business, she doesn't plan to fool around, this time the tench found a more tattered clothes to wear on her body, and she also learned from the experience, pressed her clothes into the dirt and soiled them, and ripped off the patches to make herself more like a child who asks for food.
And this time, she no longer sneaked around and didn't dare to let people know that she went out of the village, but didn't hide when she met someone, and walked over directly.
Out of the village to copy the path, all the way to the county, she did not carry a basket this time, she had to take a bag if she wanted food, and it was not appropriate to carry the basket.
Dirty children on the street, even if those patrols see it, they just glance at it and immediately turn away, and the tench no longer has to carefully look for the corner of the alley, afraid of being caught and asking where it came from? Where to go? Is there a letter of introduction, she really wants to thank those cadres of the brigade!
And this time when I entered the city, I found that the county town was more chaotic than before, and I ran through the alleys where several black markets were common before and found that there was no one, so I knew that it was moving again. Just when she was going to look elsewhere, she ran into an old lady with a tightly wrapped head poking out of a door in the alley, sneakily opening the door and looking around anxiously, she saw the tench who was holding the bag stunned, and immediately her eyes lit up, waving at the tench.
The tench looked behind him and everywhere to make sure that the old lady was waving to him, and then slowly walked over.
