12 Chapter 12
The two treasures are very industrious, and when they saw that their mother used a basket to pack cabbage, they hugged it with both hands. The small cabbage is light, similar to the Hangzhou cabbage of later generations, there are three pieces of a catty, the reason why it is called small cabbage is because it is not as round as the Chinese cabbage, you must know that a Chinese cabbage has two or three catties, the vegetable leaves are wrapped layer by layer, and the leaves of the cabbage are not wrapped, and a cabbage is estimated to be more than a dozen leaves. So each treasure can hold a bundle.
Ning Shu and the two treasures went in and out several times before they packed up the hundred catties of cabbage, because the cabbage is light, so the yield per mu is small, but 300 catties, and the base of the backyard here is only half an acre in total, removing the loofah vines and pumpkin vines that cover a small area, and the edamame occupies a little land, and most of them are still used to plant cabbage. Now that a hundred catties have been harvested, it is estimated that those small ones can harvest twenty or thirty catties when they grow up, but those Ning Shu are ready to keep them for themselves to eat.
The little cabbage was packed up, and Ning Shu took Sanbao to the house to sleep.
The two treasures and Lin Haicai washed their hands in the yard, and Lin Haicai couldn't stay idle: "One treasure and two treasures, let's go play." ”
One treasure and two treasures also wanted to play, and after pulling the cabbage for half an hour, they were a little stunned. But they saw that Sanbao was still sleeping, and they didn't worry about handing over Sanbao to their mother. Even if the mother gave them meat today, she also gave them fruit, but the mother still has no trust in their hearts, not at all.
Yibao thought for a while and said, "Erbao, you go play, I'll look at Sanbao, you play for a while and then come back, if Sanbao wakes up, let's go play together." ”
"Then I'll go." Erbao was used to listening to his brother's arrangement, and when his brother said so, he went to play with Lin Haicai. Yibao watched Erbao and Lin Hai leave, and went back to the room to guard Sanbao.
Ning Shu was moving cabbage to the cellar at this time, and after moving, she used her mobile phone to take pictures and edit: home-grown cabbage without pesticides. The APP shows that there are 97 catties here, Ning Shu took out one catty, and then divided the 96 catties into 48 parts, each (12) yuan (2) catties. The cabbage on the market is about 8 yuan a catty, and she arranged 6 yuan a catty here.
As soon as this price was edited, Ning Shu reacted, not only wild vegetables, but also small cabbage is more expensive than sweet potatoes, but in this era, sweet potatoes are definitely more popular than small cabbage, because sweet potatoes are strong satiety as a staple food, and it is difficult for small cabbage to fill the stomach as a vegetable.
So, can she exchange an acre of sweet potatoes in her own land for cabbage? After all, sweet potatoes are only 4 yuan a catty, and cabbage costs 6 yuan a catty, isn't it fragrant to have two more pieces a catty?
After having an idea, Ning Shu was not in a hurry to act, and he had to think about how to change it.
Ning Shu went to the cellar and saw that there was no one in the yard, and saw that the door of Sanbao's room was open, she went over to take a look, only to see that Yibao and Sanbao were lying down, and Erbao was not there. If you want to say how Ning Shu recognized that this is a treasure, it is not that she has good eyes, but that the clothes of the two treasures are different. "Yibao, are you asleep?"
Yibao and Sanbao were lying together, a little sleepy, and when he heard his mother's voice, he replied weakly: "Not yet, is there anything wrong with my mother?" ”
"It's okay, it's just that Erbao is not there, do you know where he went?" Ning Shu said.
Yibao: "Hehai just went to play." ”
Hearing this, Ning Shu didn't care anymore. She didn't take a shower on the train for a few days, and today she was busy in the backyard for half an hour, not to mention sweating, and it was very uncomfortable to be slimy, so she boiled water and took a shower first. It is comfortable to take a good bath, but it is troublesome to wash your hair. The doctor said that she can't touch the water for half a month with this wound, and whether she can touch the water after half a month depends on the situation after the stitches are removed. So she patiently avoided the wound and washed everything else. Before the towel was dry, she found a cotton blouse that the original owner didn't wear because it was too small, blotted the water dry, and then sat in the sun and fanned her hair.
In fact, she was quite tired all morning, and it was the motivation to make money that supported her before, but now that the products are on the shelves and people have washed them, she feels lazy and wants to sleep.
After fanning her hair, she couldn't stand it anymore, so she went to move a bench over, and then sat on a small stool and slept on it. It not only perfectly avoids the wound on the back of the head, but also can dry your hair in the sun, so that your hair dries faster.
……
The countryside is full of mountains, so children run around the mountains almost from childhood to adulthood.
In the Qinglinwan Production Brigade, there are two places where the men, women and children of the entire production brigade like to go, one is the playground of the village committee compound, and the other is under the old tree at the village gate.
The compound of the village committee is three bungalows and four large warehouses. The bungalow is the office of the village cadres, and the large warehouse is used to put grain and farm tools and other things. There is a large playground in front of the compound of the village committee, and large-scale activities such as meetings and food distribution are usually held in the whole village. The ground of the large playground is dirt, but it is very flat, probably because there are many people stepping on it, so it is smooth and strong, and even if it rains, it will not come out one by one.
The reason why the old trees at the village gate are liked is because there are several old trees planted at the village gate, and there are a lot of stones under the old trees, and everyone can sit on the stones and chat and rest. It's summer, and it's a good place to get in the shade, both to avoid the sun and because of the wind when the trees blow.
Erbao and Lin Haicai came out of the house and wandered around, and finally went to the village gate to play, only to see two children and a lesbian talking halfway. It's after lunch, the adults are resting at home, and only the children who don't have to go to work have the energy to play outside.
"Brother Xiaoshan, Brother Xiaoshi." Seeing the two friends who had played together, Sheniu Erbao shouted loudly.
In the Qinglinwan Production Brigade, Lin is the surname, but there are no relatives in the five suits here, and it is estimated that it may be a family. However, now there is no genealogy, no ancestral hall, so no one knows what happened to the ancestors in the past. And there is no saying here that you can't marry with the same surname. But it is rare to see a girl from any family marry a young man from the same village.
Lin Xiaoshan and Lin Xiaoshi are a pair of brothers, the two brothers are older than Erbao and Haicai, the elder brother Lin Xiaoshan is eight years old this year, and the younger brother Lin Xiaoshi is six years old this year. But Lin Xiaoshan has a clever mind and often takes his younger brother to open a small stove. The wild fruits on the mountain are ripe, the wild vegetables can be picked, and the birds on the trees have eggs in their nests, and their brothers can be seen.
Hearing Erbao's voice, Lin Xiaoshan and Lin Xiaoshi shouted at the same time: "Erbao, Haicai." ”
Erbao and Lin Haicai walked over and found that the female comrade was an educated youth in the village. They don't know what it's called, they don't usually play with educated youth, where will they know. The reason why I know that the other party is an educated youth is because I have met a few times in a village. Second, because when the educated youth came to the countryside, they were very curious, so they often went to the gate of the educated youth institute to look.
"What are you doing?" Erbao asked.
Lin Xiaoshan and Lin Xiaoshi looked at the female intellectuals and did not speak, but the female intellectuals said, "Two children, do you want to eat sugar?" ”
"I want to eat." Erbao replied without hesitation, there is no such thing as a child who doesn't want to eat sugar.
"I want to eat it too." Seeing that Erbao answered, Lin Haicai also followed honestly.
"In this case, I'll give you a piece of candy, can you help me pick up firewood for the day?" The female intellectual's name is Qin Ya, and she just came to the countryside some time ago. They are in charge of the firewood in turn, and when it was Qin Ya's turn in the past, she also went to collect firewood by herself, but once when she went to collect firewood, she encountered a snake, and from then on, she never dared to go up the mountain when it was hot.
At first, she paid something to ask another female intellectual, but now she had a falling out with the female, so she came to the village children for help. Xiaoshan and Xiaoshi were met by chance, and she was just talking to these two children when Erniu and Lin Hai came.
"Sister Zhiqing, you called Erbao and Haicai, do you want us to pick them up?" Seeing this, Lin Xiaoshan hurriedly asked, he was afraid that Qin Ya didn't want them anymore, and he still wanted to earn sugar.
"Yes, your brothers are still young, and you can't pick up much, so you can just call these two children." Qin Ya also asked the children in the village to help for the first time, and she didn't know if these children could do it, when she went up the mountain to collect firewood before, she saw Lin Xiaoshan's brothers picking up firewood and digging wild vegetables, so she asked them when she ran into them. But she doesn't dislike firewood, after all, it's not just the turn to live in the Educated Youth Academy, she picks up a little more firewood this time, and she can pick up the firewood next time.
When Erbao heard this, his eyes rolled: "Sister Zhiqing, I still have a brother at home, can you call my brother together?" He wanted to ask his brother to come with him, so that he could have a piece of candy, and the three of them would eat more together.
"Absolutely." Qin Ya's family conditions are not bad, and she can't avoid the policy of going to the countryside, so when she goes to the countryside, her family gives her a lot of money tickets, and they will send them every month. Now these fruit candies are bought when she went to the supply and marketing cooperatives a few days ago, and there are a lot of half-catty fruit candies, she doesn't like to eat them, and occasionally uses fruit candy to soak sugar water, so there are many children who pick up firewood.
"Then I'll call my brother now, sister, you have to wait for me." Erbao said, and hurriedly ran home to call someone.
Ning Shu had just fallen asleep and was woken up by Erbao's screams.
As soon as Erbao ran into the courtyard, he said loudly: "Brother...... Brother, get up and have candy to eat......" He ran in in a hurry, and didn't notice the mother sleeping under the eaves, and ran directly into his room. "Brother...... Brother, wake up......" Seeing that Yibao was sleeping, he shook people while shouting.
Yibao opened his eyes in a daze, and he rubbed it with his little hand: "Erbao, what are you doing?" ”
Erbao said: "Brother, there is a young sister who wants us to help her collect firewood, she gives us a candy a day, and I will ask you to go with me." ”
As soon as Yibao heard this, his originally somewhat confused eyes immediately cleared, and his eyes widened: "Really? ”
"Really, there are Brother Xiaoshan, Brother Xiaoshi and Haicai, they are still waiting at the gate of the village, quickly, if they go late, they will be preempted by other children." Erbao urges.
A BMW got out of bed and put on his shoes neatly, but after putting on his shoes, he remembered one thing again: "We went to collect firewood, what should we do when Sanbao wakes up?" ”
