When the bad guy is reborn in 60s

Chapter 26 The whole family mobilizes to dig yams

By the time Lin Qiuxia returned home with Lin Donghai after returning the cows and pig grass, carrying a basket on her back, her eldest sister had already cooked the meal.

Lin Xiaze came back by car in the morning because he was studying on Friday night. He took several trains and walked a lot of distance back.It was almost noon when we got home.It happened that their sweet potatoes were in high demand, so they dug sweet potatoes at home in the afternoon and worked on the private plot in the yard.

When Lin Qiuxia came back, she happened to meet Lin Xiaze who was about to go out to find them. Seeing how hard Lin Qiuxia was carrying the basket, she hurried over to pick it up.

"Third sister, why are you back so late today? I have to go to the slope to look for you two. Is it possible that we cut two baskets of pigweed today? Oh, what good thing is a basket? Why is it so heavy?"

"Second brother, come here, let me tell you, I discovered a large area of ​​Huaishan Mountain while grazing cattle today." Lin Qiuxia lowered her voice and said.

"What, really? Is it in the bag? Let me take a look." Lin Xiaze exclaimed, and after realizing it, he quickly lowered his voice and said, then he quickly walked back to the main room and quickly opened the bag to look at it.

"Really, it's such a thick one, what are these tiny bits?" Lin Xiaze couldn't help but feel happy in his voice.

The brother and sister excitedly took out the contents of the bag and showed them to their family members.

Lin Donghai saw the second brother helping the third sister to take the backpack, turned around, and went into the house muttering with the third sister without even looking at him.Dear brothers and sisters, do you still remember Lin Donghai by the Daming Lake?

He could only hurry up and enter the yard, and then bolt the fence of the yard.The yard fence itself is very low, and this gate only blocks some poultry animals that cannot get past the fence.

The family members were so surprised when they saw the yam that they didn't even bother to eat. They looked at it one by one and asked questions.

"Third sister, what does this Huaishan Mountain look like? To be honest, we haven't heard of anyone planting it for miles around here. There are actually wild ones on the slopes."

"Yes, yes. It's so thick. It must have grown for a long time. No one knows it, so it can grow so long."

"Yes, I heard that Huaishan is very nourishing and can be used as nutrition by the elderly, children and patients."

"By the way, Third Sister, how do you know her?" "Yes, I don't think we even know her from afar."

"Yes, where did you find it? How do you know it? I also heard that there is such a long tree in the fields of Huaishan Mountain. How did you dig it by yourself? I don't know if you will be tired when you come back to call someone. Are you hungry now?" Sure enough, her mother still cares about whether she is tired or hungry. People are right. A mother's child is like a treasure. Take a look. There are a lot of people asking about it, but her mother is the only one who cares about her. I know how to ask her if she is tired or hungry.

"I know, I know, I know where it is, right here..." Lin Donghai heard that the family had been asking questions about the third sister for so long, and finally there was someone he could answer, so he quickly seized the opportunity. Interjected.As a result, his brother pulled him away and took his position again, and his words were interrupted.

"If you see these little bits in the bag, they are called yam beans or yam eggs. They are the seeds picked up from the vines in Huaishan. My classmates' relatives from other places gave them to their families and brought them to me to eat. I knew it right away. Because it was so delicious, I asked specifically, saying it could be eaten or used as seeds to grow yams. Otherwise, how would I know him?"

It's good to go to school. There are people from other villages in their class. Anyway, it's impossible for the family to check these things. This statement is simply impeccable.

"It's a good thing you pay attention. I think we have all seen this bean, but if you don't know it, you may have missed it. Did you just say you met one? There are many more." Her father is worthy of being the head of the family, and he will catch what he is told. focus.

"Third sister, you said these beans can be used as seeds. If there are so many of them, won't our family be short of food if we grow them?" Chunni's tone was full of joy due to the different directions of concern, but this is also an important point.

His uncle was indeed the one who went to the city with her father to exchange for ginseng, and he also asked if so many Huaishan could be taken out to exchange for money. There are many poor people now, but there are also many rich people in the county, including the elderly and children at home. Yes, they should all be willing to buy it. Rare things are more valuable. They have never seen Huaishan Mountain here.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, and the moon was climbing up, Lin Mu hurriedly called everyone to eat: "Eat quickly, and talk while eating. We can't go and bring it back now. Don't worry, it will take a while."

"We are made of iron. If we don't eat even one meal, we will feel hungry. Mom is right, eat first." Lin Qiuxia dug the soil for a long time, and she was indeed hungry.

"People are like rice and steel!" Lin Donghai also shouted.

Everyone also sat down to eat, but one person at the dinner table was discussing enthusiastically.

Lin Qiuxia continued while eating: "When I saw the yam eggs, I couldn't believe the piece, so I wasted some time and dug out one to confirm whether they were really all yam. Fortunately, all the hard work is not in vain.”

"Okay, the second one brought back a piece of meat when he came back today. Your favorite stewed pork with potatoes. I will reward you for eating a few more pieces today." "Yes, yes, eat a few more pieces, haha."

"Me, me, me, and me, I picked beans too." Lin Donghai quickly raised his bowl to take credit, and everyone burst into laughter again.

After the meal, the plans for tomorrow were discussed and some precautions were also discussed.One is to be as secretive as possible to avoid being discovered, and the other is to be fast and dig out a piece. If you are not fast, you will be discovered sooner or later.

The three adults will go to do farm work as usual tomorrow morning. Lin Chunni has been drying the grass at home and making preparations for weaving mats during the slack period, so she can go to the slopes tomorrow. In addition, Lin Xiaze will be at home tomorrow, so the four brothers and sisters are included. .

The next morning, Lin Chunni and Lin Xiaze brought their usual tools for cutting firewood, and Lin Qiuxia brought their tools for cutting pigweed, and the four of them set off.

I simply discovered that everyone had gathered to cut pigweed before at the place in Huaishan. Now everyone has gone to another piece of land together. There are fewer people here.

When the three of them arrived at the place, they took the time to play hard. With their brothers and sisters joining in, they dug almost a third of the food in the morning. The two baskets they brought were full. Then Lin Chunni and Lin Xiaze loaded them with I carried some dead branches home and returned to the slope without attracting anyone's attention. After all, everyone now went to the slope to collect firewood and cut firewood for the fire.

After lunch, Lin Xinrong and Lin Xinrong also joined the team digging the yam. The old crop handlers were different. One of them supported the three of them, and Lin Chunni and Lin Xiaze carried it back when they were full.

When the time comes, we go directly to work from the slope. After finishing work in the afternoon, we directly take the path to the slope and dig together.

By the time it was around seven o'clock or almost eight o'clock in the evening, we were finally done digging.The main reason is that I didn't expect that there are more than one Huaishan root growing under many vines. It must have been growing in the ground for a long time without being discovered, and each root is very thick.

Today, except for the occasional breakage during the digging process, I basically found a way to bring it back whole.

Unexpectedly, he accidentally discovered that he had dug out more than 200 kilograms. When Lin Xiaze went back to school to bring rations in the afternoon, he also took a few sticks back to school. He planned to see if his deskmate had anything he needed and could exchange them.

After all, Liu Zhengyang's family is in the county, and there may be relatives and friends who need him. The most important thing is that Liu Zhengyang's character is trustworthy, and the friendship between the two lies here.

Before, he was worried about money so much that he couldn't sleep at noon. This time, he saw some hope.
