Travel through 1972 with a space mall

"By the way, wifey, can I go to the mountains again tomorrow? I won't go into the mountains until the autumn harvest tomorrow. I will go with my elder brother and the others after the autumn harvest." Ye Mingyuan returned to the kitchen and sat on a stool after washing. After adding two pieces of firewood to the stove, I suddenly remembered that I hadn't finished picking the mountain red in the mountains, so I immediately spoke.

"You'd better have a reasonable reason and tell me why you have to go to the mountains when you know they are so dangerous." Su Jiao said calmly, with no hint of happiness or anger in her tone.

"Today when I was collecting firewood, I saw a mangrove tree in the mountains. The tree was full of fruits. I picked a little today. The basket was full and I had no place to take it. It would be a pity to leave it there. I will ask my eldest brother, the third one, tomorrow Brother, can you go with me? It just so happens that I can’t finish picking it myself, so we will definitely pay attention to safety." Ye Mingyuan explained softly.

Su Jiao had just been too worried and didn't pay attention at all. When Su Jiao heard Ye Mingyuan's words, she saw a basket full of red fruits not far away, and a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Su Jiao had eaten Shanlihong when she was a child and lived with her grandmother. When cooked, Shanlihong tastes better than ordinary hawthorns. It is sweet and floury, and it can be stored in a ventilated place for a long time. It is also good to eat as a snack in winter. Make some candied haws for Ye Yao to eat, dry them in the sun and soak them in water to drink.

"Okay, I accept this reason, but we must be with Big Brother and the others, and we must come back before dark, otherwise I will worry." Su Jiao opened the lid of the pot and poured a little cold water into the boiling water, nodding and giving serious instructions. road.

"Thank you, Comrade Su." Ye Mingyuan stood up and saluted.

Seeing Ye Mingyuan playing tricks, Su Jiao finally lost her expression and smiled.

"Daughter-in-law, I don't know how big the wild ginseng I dug is, but looking at the ginseng whiskers, it should be quite big?" Ye Mingyuan started to feel proud when he saw Su Jiao finally smiled and walked away.

"Isn't it covered in mud? Where did you see the ginseng whiskers?" Su Jiao asked doubtfully.

"I don't know how to dig ginseng, so I dug the ginseng back with a piece of soil. I dug such a big piece of mud and even broke some of the whiskers. Judging from this, the ginseng should be quite big." Ye Mingyuan was shocked. Liang explained softly.

Su Jiao knew that the bigger the wild ginseng was, the more valuable it was in every era. In the 21st century, Su Jiao saw on her mobile phone that a wild ginseng that was more than fifty years old was sold for hundreds of thousands. Now it is also valuable if it is designated. Su Jiao instantly turned into a money-crazy person, "I asked you why you just sent Yaoyao away. This is indeed a treasure. Yaoyao is still young. If you accidentally tell others, we will be in trouble."

"Yes, that's what I mean. Only the two of us know about this matter. The more people who know, the less safe it is." Ye Mingyuan nodded with a smile.

"But because I don't know how to dig, some of the ginseng tendons were broken. It's a pity. After dinner, I slowly cleaned out the ginseng." Ye Mingyuan sighed.

"It's great to be able to find it. A few broken whiskers will not affect the effect. Besides, we are not allowed to buy or sell anything now. We can only keep this ginseng for our own family. It doesn't matter if the whiskers are broken." Su Jiao comforted.

"Daughter-in-law, don't worry, I have a way to sell wild ginseng, and then you and Yaoyao will be able to live a good life." Ye Mingyuan said mysteriously as if he suddenly remembered something.

"You don't want to sell it in the black market, do you? The black market is too dangerous, and there are few people in our county who can afford wild ginseng." Su Jiao opened the lid of the pot and saw that the dumplings in the pot were also cooked. , after hearing Ye Mingyuan's words, he didn't care about fishing for dumplings, and looked at Ye Mingyuan and asked nervously.

"It's not the black market, it's a high school classmate of mine. I have a pretty good relationship. He has a wide range of connections and knows rich people. When I clear out the ginseng, I'll ask him if he can help with it." Ye Mingyuan He took out the unburned firewood from the stove, poured out water and put it out. Seeing Su Jiao's nervous look, he immediately explained.

Su Jiao felt relieved after hearing that Ye Mingyuan was not going to the black market. She turned around and started to take out the dumplings and put them on a large enamel plate, "Is your classmate reliable? Why didn't I hear you say that there were good classmates in high school? ."

"My friend's name is Meng Long. I met him when I was studying in the county town. I heard him say that his grandfather seems to live in the capital. His family is quite rich and he is a nice person. He took good care of me when I was studying. But ordinary people like us I can't always be favored by others. When my parents had an accident, I couldn't go to high school. When he found out, he said he could lend me money first so I could continue my studies. He also said he would let me take Yaoyao to live with him. He said that he would repay the money he borrowed when I make money later." Ye Mingyuan had already said this, and Ye Mingyuan didn't hide it anymore, and introduced Meng Long honestly.

There was no need for Ye Mingyuan to say the next words. Su Jiao understood that Ye Mingyuan's self-esteem could not bear to take his sister to live in someone else's house, so dropping out of school was his only option.

Su Jiao found a bowl and filled a bowl full of dumplings, put it on the stove, turned around and comforted Ye Mingyuan and said: "Our family Mingyuan is so outstanding, even if he drops out of school, he will definitely make great achievements in the future. Our family will not Live worse than others.”

"Well, I won't let you suffer with me." Seeing that Su Jiao understood what he was thinking, Ye Mingyuan immediately raised the corners of his mouth and promised seriously.

"I definitely believe in my man." Su Jiao said seriously.

"Hehe." Ye Mingyuan grinned from ear to ear.

"My daughter-in-law is really rare." Ye Mingyuan thought happily.

Su Jiao didn't know that her man had turned into a lunatic again. She turned around and went back to the west room. She put the plaster prepared for Chen Shuting into her pocket. After thinking about it, Su Jiao opened the kang cabinet and took out a mooncake and tore off some oil paper packets. Get up, you have to eat some mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival to suit the occasion.

Su Jiao patted the little buttocks of Ye Yao who was sticking out her little buttocks on the kang, "Yaoyao, sister-in-law is going out and will be back soon. If you are hungry, eat first."

Ye Yao stood up from the kang, threw herself into Su Jiao's arms, and said coquettishly: "Yao Yao wants to wait for sister-in-law to eat together."

"Then sister-in-law will be back soon." Su Jiao pinched Ye Yao's chubby little face and said.

"Mingyuan, there are few people on the road now. I'll go to the cowshed, deliver some dumplings to Shuting and the others, and then send him back the firewood. You and Yaoyao wait for me at home. I'll be back in a while." Su Jiao comforted her. Ye Yao walked to the corner of the kitchen, picked up a basket, put the dumplings and moon cakes into the basket, turned to Ye Mingyuan who was sweeping the floor and said.

"Daughter-in-law, let me go with you. You can't carry so many things." Ye Mingyuan quickly put down the broom in his hand and wanted to follow him out.

"I'll go by myself. It's not good for people to see if there are too many people there. Besides, a small bundle of firewood doesn't weigh much. You can take a shower at home first. If Yaoyao is hungry, let Yaoyao Eat first, I'll be back in a moment." After Su Jiao said that, she went out with the basket.

"Be careful on the road." Ye Mingyuan asked worriedly.

"I know." Su Jiao responded.

Su Jiao walked out of her courtyard, found a secret corner, took the basket and firewood to the space mall, and then walked to the cowshed empty-handed. This was also the reason why Su Jiao didn't let Ye Mingyuan follow. She went there alone. You can put things away without drawing attention to yourself.

Because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon was big and round at night. You could see clearly without shining a flashlight while walking on the road. Su Jiao didn’t meet anyone along the way. At this time, everyone gathered together to have a reunion dinner. There's rice.

There are several cowsheds in Xiangyang Village Production Brigade, some are large and some are small. The largest one is in the center of the village, which is the cowshed of the third production team. The third production team is the richest, and the cowsheds are also very well built, with a big yard. , in the courtyard, there are four rustic north rooms that slide together. The two east rooms have a row of wooden troughs on the south and north side, and a stone trough on the west side. There are cows and donkeys in them. The middle room is where the breeders live. To the north is a large fire bed, covered with a worn-out mat that has changed color and a dirty quilt. The room on the far right is where farm tools are stored. There is also a sideline noodle shop run by the production team in the hospital. At that time, it produced mung bean vermicelli and later sweet potato vermicelli. There is a well to the south with a waterwheel on it.

The smallest cowshed is on the right side of the east end of the village. It is the livestock shed of the fifth production team. The fifth production team is the poorest production team in Xiangyang Village. The cowshed is a small yard with a total of two mud houses. , a long house with two rooms connected to it has a row of wooden troughs and stone troughs on the east and west sides respectively, with cows and donkeys tied inside. A small room is separated to the north of the long house, which is reserved for the keepers. It was only about the size of a heated kang, covered with shabby mats and dirty, balled bedding. The windows in the longhouse are very small. Because the cowshed needs to be insulated in winter, the house where the keepers live also smells of cow dung.
