With the addition of Xu Qingmu, Cui Lanhua's mother and daughter's task field was quickly planted.

The family went up to the ridge, washed their hands and feet, called the scorekeeper to come and check, and then went back with an empty bamboo basket.

When I got home, it was only about four o'clock in the afternoon.

Xu Shuxin originally thought that because of the delay in the Xu family's old house, she would not have the opportunity to take out the things she bought earlier at noon, and she would continue to eat vegetarian tonight.

Now she is overjoyed to see her father and mother come back so early.

She rushed to Xu Qingmu's side and pulled him, "Dad! ”

Then his eyes went to the room of the two.

Xu Qingmu understands in seconds: This is another delivery.

He did not rush in to look at it, but, as usual, filled the water tank with water, and then went into the house as usual, and returned to their room.

He thought that this time it was the same as before, but he had just sent some food.

However, when he saw this thing, his jaw couldn't close in surprise.

It took a while for him to cover his chest and keep himself calm, "Orchid, you come in for a moment." ”

"Good!" Cui Lanhua, who was feeding the chicks with her daughters, got up when she heard the words and entered the house.

As soon as Cui Lanhua left, Xu Shuyan pushed Xu Shuxin with her arm and asked her, "Say, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing with your father?" ”

"Sixth sister, what did you say?" Xu Shuxin turned her head sideways and looked at her innocently, looking like she didn't know what you were talking about.

"Cut~ Don't think I didn't see your dad look when he came back! Hmph, we have lived together in my mother's belly for ten months, and you even hide it from me, I'm angry! ”

She twisted her head to the side, and made a gesture that I wouldn't be nice to you if she didn't tell me.

Xu Shuyu glanced up at the two of them and quipped, "Yo, Yanyan, you are actually willing to be angry with Xinxin?" It's a rare sight! ”

Xu Shuxin ignored the second sister's joke, raised her hand and pulled the sixth sister's arm, "Sixth sister, don't be angry, I didn't mean it, and the reason why the secret is called a secret is that the fewer people know, the better!" Sixth sister, don't be angry, at most you won't tell me if you have a secret in the future! ”

When Xu Shuxin was coaxing Xu Shuyan, Cui Lanhua was startled when she entered the room.

Then it was a subconscious effort to close the door.

Of course, in order not to alarm the children outside, she was quietly closed.

After closing the door, Cui Lanhua hesitated, "This, this is all ours?" ”

In addition to the bags of grain on the ground, there was also a small pile of cloth, a large pile of cotton, a basket of eggs, a piece of pork belly, and several pairs of cloth shoes...... There's even an iron pot!

It's still a three-mouth iron pot!

Cui Lanhua couldn't believe it, raised her hand and rubbed her eyes.

"Daughter-in-law, it's true."

Cui Lanhua looked at the man, and then at the things on the ground, "This, I...... Shall we all take it? ”

That's too much!

Xu Qingmu was silent for a moment before he said, "Take it, we can't go back." ”

It just so happens that several girls are skinny and need to be supplemented.

Cui Lanhua swallowed her saliva and asked, "Then are we going to eat this meat tonight?" And this iron pot......"

It's really hard to take it out.

Iron pot or something, you can still put it away, but pork can't.

This weather will stink tomorrow.

Xu Qingmu also hesitated.

Of course, he wanted the girls to eat well, but the reason for taking it out was ...... It's really hard to find!

Cui Lanhua didn't rush him, waiting for him to make a decision.

After a long while, Xu Qingmu made up his mind, "Eat, let's fry the meat tonight, just use this new iron pot, since you want to use it, you can use it all, just use it." ”

Anyway, the girls will have doubts, since this is the case, then they should eat and use, so that they will not be wasted.

This is the fabric......

"Fabric: You can take the time to make two clothes for yourself and your daughters first, don't wear them out first, and then wear them out when our days are better."

"Okay, that's it for now." Cui Lanhua agreed.

It's not that she doesn't want to wear it out, it's that she can't.

What was the situation when their family was separated, the people in the brigade watched, if their family was wearing new clothes, wouldn't it be obvious to tell others that there was something wrong with their family?

And at this time, there is only one way to make money except to earn work points and wages.

But that method of making money is not allowed.

They don't have a single worker in their family, and if suddenly there are a lot of good things, the only source left is the one that is not allowed - speculation!

If someone reports speculation, then their family will not end well.

After making a decision, Cui Lanhua put the eggs, meat and iron pot aside separately, and the rest was to find something to put away.

Cui Lanhua touched the fabric in her hand, and her eyes were full of joy.

For their countrymen, cloth is rare, and the cloth tickets they receive at the end of the year can't buy much cloth at all.

And now she has so much, each person in the family can make two sets of clothes, and she can make two more quilts, just like cotton.

She went to rummage through the cotton again, and found that there were two more quilts underneath! Even the quilt is there!

So these cottons are used to make cotton clothes?

Also, this cotton is too good, right? Snow white!

Cui Lanhua's eyes and hands were not willing to take away from the cloth and cotton at all.

Xu Qingmu stacked the grain, and when he looked back and saw his daughter-in-law's appearance, he had to step forward to help, "Don't look at it, put it all away, I'll cut the bamboo, take the girls out, and then you will cook at home, cook the white rice, and fry the meat, if the children ask where these come from, you can say yes...... Well, let's just say that Uncle Zhao took it. ”

"Is this going to work?" asked Cui Lanhua.

Xu Qingmu nodded, "Whether it's okay or not, let's say so first." ”

The two agreed and put everything away, Xu Qingmu called a few daughters and prepared to go out to chop bamboo.

In addition to Xu Shuxin, Xu Shuyue and the others did not suspect him, and thought that their father called them to help, so they came over from the chicken coop one by one and went out with him.

They need a firewood knife to cut bamboo, but their family doesn't have it.

Looking at Xu Qingmu, who went out empty-handed, Xu Shuxin slapped her head: she forgot about the firewood knife and only replaced the kitchen knife! It seems that I will have to change a firewood knife later.

They went to the third grandmother's house to borrow a firewood knife before walking to the back mountain.

Trees on the mountain are not allowed to be cut, but bamboo does not have this restriction.

At the foot of the mountain to the east, there is a large bamboo forest. The bamboo forest is very lush, and whoever is short of bamboo can just cut it directly, and you don't even need to say a word to the cadres of the brigade.

Their area is rich in bamboo, there are particularly large bamboo, also called hemp bamboo, the long bamboo shoots are also big, used to make sour bamboo shoots, dried bamboo shoots or direct fried are delicious; There are also straight bamboos, which are smaller than bamboos, and are usually used by members to make furniture such as clothes poles, bamboo beds, and bamboo chairs; There is also a phoenix tail bamboo, but the members dislike it and it is useless, so they let it grow like that.

What they're going to cut now is bamboo.

When she arrived at the bamboo forest, the first thing that caught Xu Shuxin's eyes was the tall bamboo shoots that broke through the ground.

"Dad, there are bamboo shoots over there! Let's dig one up and fry it, shall we? ”

Before Xu Qingmu could speak, Xu Shuyan spoke first, "What is delicious about bamboo shoots, we have neither an iron pot nor oil in our house, even if we make it, it is not delicious, and it is still scraped with oil, but we can cut it back and dry it into bamboo shoots, and the supply and marketing cooperatives should collect dried bamboo shoots, right?" ”
