Quick travel: I am bound by the longevity system

Everyone listened happily to Lin Jiu talking about the process of catching the pheasant. Only Shen Qinghai's eyes flashed slightly. If he hadn't seen the bruises on the pheasant's head when handling the pheasant, he might have believed Lin Jiu. rhetoric.

Everyone sat together and read for a while, and then went back to sleep one after another when the heat was no longer so hot.

The next day, everyone continued to work after breakfast. The grass in the cornfield had been pulled out yesterday. Today, the task assigned to them by the team leader was to plow the sweet potato vines.

When the sweet potato vines cover the ridges, you need to plow them once. Otherwise, all the nutrients in the sweet potato field will be absorbed by the vines, and the sweet potatoes underground will not grow large due to malnutrition.

Grasping the sweet potato vine and lifting it gently, the newly grown roots of the sweet potato vine were pulled out one by one. The vines that had climbed far away were turned over and placed on the ridge, and the ridge that was originally covered by the sweet potato vine was also exposed.

A maximum of three shorter branches should be left on a sweet potato vine, and the rest should be cut off along the old branches with a sickle or your hands.

Pinch off the sweet potato vines and take them back to feed the livestock.

After plowing the vines this time, there is no need to plow the vines later. You just need to plow the sweet potato vines again when pruning them.

Perhaps it was because of the sweet potato vines. There was not much grass in the sweet potato field. Occasionally, there were one or two vines, which were easily pulled out when plowing the vines.

Lin Jiu and the others were plowing the vines in front, while villagers behind them were carrying prepared farmyard manure and throwing it at the roots of the sweet potatoes.

When plowing the vines, add some fertilizer.

This work took a total of two days. After that, there was basically not much work to do in the fields, and the villagers began to start their own side jobs.

Lin Jiu and the others asked for leave from the team leader and planned to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some daily necessities and some to send letters home.

The original owner prepared some things for Lin's parents and eldest brother. Lin Jiu watched and added some more, and then sorted out two packages to send to them this time.

The brigade where Lin Jiu and the others were located was more than ten miles away from the commune, and it took more than an hour to walk. At six o'clock in the morning, Lin Jiu and the others started walking together.

"Lin Jiu, do you want to go to the post office to send something?" Yang Haiyan asked.

"Well, send some specialties here to my parents and brother."

"I'm going to a state-owned hotel to have a good meal later..."

Everyone chatted and laughed along the way, and soon arrived at Shengli Commune. Everyone first went to the post office to ask if they had any letters and packages. Naturally, some were happy and some were disappointed.

"Comrade Lin Jiu, right? Here is your package and two letters. You just need to sign and collect them."

Lin Jiu heard that she had her own package and letter. After signing, she put the items in the backpack she brought, and then told the staff that she wanted to send the package.

After filling out the form, the staff weighed the package, and after Lin Jiu paid the postage, they attached the filled-in form to the sealed package.

Lin Jiu put away the receipt, said thank you to the staff, and then walked out of the post office carrying her things.

Lin Jiu found a place to sit down and took out the letter he had just received.

The letter was from the original owner's parents and brother.

The letter from the original owner's parents was not long. The letter said that everything was fine with them in the cadre school and asked the original owner not to worry about it. The letter also wrote some encouraging words for the original owner, asking the original owner not to forget to study even if he went to the countryside. In addition, it also warned the original owner. , never fall in love and get married in the countryside. The parents of the original owner wrote in the letter that there will be no happiness in an unequal marriage.

Lin Jiu somewhat agreed with what Father Lin and Mother Lin said. Some of the educated youths who went to the countryside to get married there were really willing to do so, but they just saw no hope of returning to the city, and they didn't have enough ability to support themselves. So choose to get married with local people.

But later, once they can return to the city, conscientious people will return to the city with their marriage partners and children. The next worst thing is to get divorced. The woman will leave the children to her ex-husband and return to the city by herself, while the man will be willing to go back to the city. The one who divorces the woman seriously and takes the children away can be regarded as a good person, but there is even worse than the beast. After he is admitted to college, he plans to provide for his in-laws to eat and drink, and at the same time he has a passionate relationship with the female college students in the university. When his original wife went to find him, he shamelessly put the blame on his wife in the countryside and used public opinion to force his original wife to death.

After putting away the letter from Lin's father and Lin's mother, Lin Jiu opened the letter from the original owner's eldest brother Lin Qi.

The letter also started with the question of how well he was doing, and asked the original owner to take good care of his body and not work so hard. He could afford to support his sister.

The letter said that he had sent some red dates and wolfberry, which are the most nourishing to the body. He asked the original owner to eat a few pills when he was fine. After eating, he sent them.

In addition, the letter also told the original owner not to believe a man's sweet words easily, and also said that a man's mouth is a liar. What future brother-in-law needs to pass his test, etc. In short, it is similar to what Father Lin and Mother Lin said, that is, don't fall in love now.

After putting the letter away, Lin Jiu went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

"Comrade, how much does this cloud cake cost per pound?" Lin Jiu pointed to the cloud cake on the counter.

"Two cents per pound, how much do you want?"

"Weigh the fifty cents for me!" Lin Jiu handed a few cents to the salesperson.

The salesperson picked up the steelyard scale, placed a piece of kraft paper on the scale's tray, and then used bamboo clips to clamp the cloud cake onto the scale pan.

The salesperson held the hemp rope on the scale with one hand and moved the scale weight to the two and a half kilogram position with the other hand. The scale beam was slightly upward.

"Two and a half pounds, can you check the scale?"

"correct."

Lin Jiu nodded.

To be honest, she had not seen this kind of steel scale for many years.

"Can I wrap them all up for you?"

"Pack a big one and leave a small one for me to eat on the road later." Lin Jiu smiled.

The salesperson quickly divided the Yun Pian Cake into two portions. The larger portion was wrapped in kraft paper into a rectangular shape and tied with a hemp rope before carrying it to Lin Jiu. Lin Jiu took the pastry and put it in a basket on her back. The salesperson folded kraft paper into a sealed funnel and placed the cloud cake in the funnel so that Lin Jiu could eat it while walking.

"Thank you."

"Serve the people."

Lin Jiu couldn't wait to pick up a piece of cloud cake and put it in her mouth. It was the taste in her memory. When she was a child, every time Lin Jiu was greedy, her grandfather would make cloud cake for her. Later, her grandfather left and he never made it again. No one makes cloud cakes for her anymore. Although she could also buy cloud cake, the taste was no longer what she remembered, and gradually she stopped eating it.

After eating two pieces of cloud cake, Lin Jiu carefully wrapped the rest and put it in the backpack.

"Host, if there is still a chance to go back, do you want to go back?"
