Stock up in space to survive and save civilization in the end of the world
Chapter 53 That Era 47
In May, the weather has warmed up, and people in the village are busy with spring plowing, planting wheat, corn, and soybeans.
After work in the evening, I would go to my private plot to take care of my own vegetables and fruits.
During the busy farming season, Gao Xiaoan stayed in the infirmary every day. Some people felt dizzy and uncomfortable, and some cut their feet from farming. Although he was not particularly busy, he could not live without people.
The two little hens that Guihua sent over last month have become Maomao's favorites. She visits them every day and gave them names, one is called Dahua and the other is called Xiaohua.
It is estimated that next month I will be able to eat the eggs laid by the two flowers.
Lin Qian now takes Maomao to hunt pigweed every morning. She squats on the ground with a sickle to cut the grass, and Maomao behind her picks up the grass and puts it in the basket.
After a few days of work, Lin Qian immediately ordered three small wooden benches from Carpenter Yang, and she took them with her to sit and cut grass every day.
She is considered a special case in Heilingtun. Even Osmanthus fragrans, who is favored at home, has to work in the fields. Those who come to hunt pigweed are usually seven or eight-year-old children who bring their younger siblings to do this.
Lin Qian was still worried when she saw a child cutting grass with a sickle for the first time. Later, she realized that the child could cut grass faster and better than her, and she swallowed her words instantly.
In addition to Little Tai Maomao, Aunt Dani sent the children from Zhongsheng to help Lin Qian with her work.
This made Lin Qian very puzzled. Apart from anything else, she was definitely capable of cutting pigweed. Aunt Dani didn't trust her too much.
After mentioning this to Gao Xiao'an, she analyzed it for Lin Qian: "When you teach Maomao how to read and write, you will also teach Zhongsheng together."
Only then did Lin Qian understand what Aunt Dani meant.
These days, Lin Qian used candies to clear the way and deliberately built a bridge. The children who came to hunt pigweed had become familiar with her and Mao Mao.
Sometimes when they see that Lin Qian is slow, they will come over to help cut together.
After they became familiar with each other, Lin Qian taught them to sing together in the morning, "The young man who beats pigweed carries a big bamboo basket on his back and a small sickle in the morning, walking through the woods and hills..."
After delivering the pigweed to the cowshed several times, Lin Qian would go up the mountain to collect firewood on the pretext of letting Zhongsheng and Maomao go home first to do the exercises she assigned in the morning.
In fact, ever since Gao Xiaoan became the village's barefoot doctor, there has been no shortage of firewood in her woodshed.
Almost every few days, Gao Xiaoan's patients would put bundles of firewood outside their yard. When they heard the noise and came out of the house, they could only see their backs.
Lin Qian made an excuse to go to the mountain to chop firewood. One reason was that she wanted to go to space to get supplies to her grandparents, and the firewood she collected was also for them.
There are a total of 18 pigs raised in Heilingtun this year. The grandparents are responsible for their eating, drinking and littering. They must clean the pig pens every morning and maintain a good sanitary environment. Otherwise, swine fever is very likely to occur.
Lin Tianyou did not allow her to interfere in the cleaning of the pig pen, so Lin Qian had to find another way to take over the work of fetching water and chopping wood, which could also reduce the burden on the two old people.
At noon, Lin Qian prepared meals for Gao Xiao'an to come back to eat, and Gao Xiao'an was responsible for clearing the dishes.
In the afternoon, Maomao and Zhongsheng have classes. Starting at 2:30, there are three classes in total, each class is half an hour.
Lin Qian only teaches them mathematics and Chinese. In the first class, she checks the morning exercises and gives comments. If it is found that the two little guys have mastered them well, they will start a new class next.
If you can't master it well, continue teaching today until 4:30.
There was a fifteen-minute break in each class, and Lin Qian took them to the yard to catch insects from the vegetables and feed them to the chickens.
In the evening, after the three of them have finished eating together, Gao Xiaoan will explain to her the syndrome differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine and take the pulse.
In addition, she also gave Lin Qian the notes of the Barefoot Doctor, asking Lin Qian to take some time to read them and ask if she didn't understand them.
Such days made Lin Qian feel very comfortable, fulfilling and not busy. No wonder many years later, some people began to miss this era, rising at sunrise and resting at sunset, without the need for 996 and no need to worry about everything.
After more than a month of this kind of life, one afternoon, Chi Yuyuan and Li Zhenzhu came to Heilingtun to look for them.
It was Gao Xiaoan who brought them to the house. Lin Qian asked Maomao and Maomao to go out to play in the yard, and then entertained them with candies and cookies.
"Our house has been built, so I asked for leave to come and see you." Chi Yuyuan put the things he brought on the table.
"This is a piece of cloth sent from my family. It's pink, just right for Sissi to make clothes! There's also a piece of blue cloth. Sister Xiao'an, you can make a set too!"
After chatting for a while, Lin Qian realized that the main purpose of Chi Yuyuan and Li Zhuzhen's visit today was to return gifts, to thank them for their previous care in the county.
"Now that work has begun in the village, I immediately sent a telegram back after I became a barefoot doctor. My parents were so happy that they sent me a lot of things!"
"Now that Pearl and I have moved out, our life is much better than when we were in the Educated Youth Center."
The few of them chatted for a long time, and Lin Qian and Gao Xiaoan stayed with them for an early dinner before sending them off.
After they left, Gao Xiaoan touched the cloth and found that the quality was indeed good, but neither she nor Qianqian knew how to make clothes!
Lin Qian looked at her troubled expression and said with a smile: "Mom, give me the cloth. I will go to the market in the next village to exchange for something tomorrow."
Gao Xiaoan was a little hesitant, but after thinking of the two old people in the bullpen, he still said to Lin Qian: "Okay, Qian Qian, you can take care of it, and pay attention to safety!"
After Lin Qian took out the cloth, she didn't expect that there was a letter at the bottom, which contained several kilograms of food stamps and meat stamps, which was almost enough for Zhi Yuyuan to have a midnight snack.
After seeing it, Gao Xiaoan felt that these two girls were really honest people and they could interact with each other more often in the future.
Not to mention Lin Qian. During the month she stayed in the county, after meeting Liu Haitao, everyone she came back to see was honest and kind.
Early the next morning, Lin Qian and Osmanthus went to the market in the next village together. This time she did not stay at the market after separation from Osmanthus, and went directly to the home of Uncle Lin who sold ginseng to her last time.
Coincidentally, Uncle Lin was also at home today. After hearing Lin Qian explain her intention, Uncle Lin smiled and said it was not time to go into the mountains yet!
After Uncle Lin explained, Lin Qian learned that the ginseng harvesting time here is usually in autumn, from early September to late October.
"In our line of business, we don't open for half a year, but we open for half a year."
No wonder Uncle Lin never went to Heilingtun to spread the word. Lin Qian felt a little pity. She didn't know if the health pills her grandparents took were missing the ginseng, so the effect would be compromised.
"Uncle Lin, I'll leave first. If you pick ginseng in the autumn, please go to Heilingtun to spread the word. I have a friend who works in a cotton factory in Beijing and also wants ginseng. She will give it to me in exchange. Ginseng cloth.”
Lin Qian opened the basket on her back, revealing several colors of cloth. She directly used Chi Yuyuan's relationship to raise a big flag. Uncle Lin didn't know who that friend was anyway.
"Hey, sister, would you like the prepared ginseng?" The speaker was Uncle Lin's wife. She couldn't move her eyes away from the pink cloth.
An hour later, Lin Qian, who thought she would return empty-handed today, quietly walked out of Uncle Lin's house. There was a wooden box in the basket in her hand.
Inside the wooden box is a piece of prepared ginseng. This ginseng was prepared last year and was probably over thirty years old when it was picked.
Of course, the cloth was gone, and the money went into three figures, but Lin Qian felt it was really worth it!
