Sixty-year-old only child: The system taught me how to become rich

The hunger in their bellies was temporarily relieved. Although one sweet potato was not enough, they were still very hungry, but the three of them did not bake more sweet potatoes. After all, there is not much food, so we need to save a little to last until the next food distribution.

Moreover, they haven't eaten much recently, and they can't eat too much food at a time, otherwise they will have physical problems. The current living conditions are not good. If you get sick, you will be in trouble, and you may not necessarily get medicine.

"Okay, let's finish eating. It's getting late, and we should go to work. After all, our identities are relatively sensitive now, so it's better not to let others catch us. By then, we will be caught by those who want to. , at least you will have to suffer a lot."

Jiang Mengzhi stood up, patted the dust on his hands, and said.

"Mengzhi is right. This is a sensitive period, so we should be more cautious. Let's go, let's take the cows to graze first."

Li Yuzhu agreed.

"Let's go, let's hurry up."

After Yang Tiannan finished speaking, he took the lead to walk out.

It doesn’t take many people to feed the cows. The three of them discussed it and finally decided to take turns. Today Jiang Mengzhi stayed in the cowshed to clean, while Yang Tiannan and Li Yuzhu went to feed the cows and cut the grass. Tomorrow it will be Li Yuzhu, and then Yang Tiannan.

The two men led the cow out. As soon as I got out, I ran into trouble again. They were not familiar with the group at all and had no idea where to take the cattle to graze.

Li Yuzhu thought for a while and said:

"Tiannan, you keep an eye on the bull here. I'll go find the captain and ask. I'll be back in a moment."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

Yang Tiannan agreed.

Li Yuzhu then went to find Gu Daquan. On the way, I met children from the brigade and asked them about Gu Daquan's whereabouts.

At this time, Gu Daquan was at the brigade headquarters. He had just started working. He checked the work status of the team members, assigned today's tasks, and then came to the brigade headquarters to complete some tasks assigned by the commune.

So Li Yuzhu found him without much effort.

Knowing Li Yuzhu's purpose of coming, Gu Daquan felt a little guilty for a moment. He promised his fourth son and his daughter-in-law to take care of the in-laws, but failed to take this into consideration. It was really negligent.

This time he was even more dedicated.

"You are new here and are not familiar with our team. Let me tell you, you may not be able to find the place, so let me take you there. It will help you know the way, so that it will be more convenient for you to go where you want to go next time. After all, I am not He’s always in the team.”

"Okay, thank you captain."

Li Yuzhu didn't show much enthusiasm, and other cadres at the brigade headquarters only thought that the brigade leader was more enthusiastic and kind-hearted. There is nothing surprising, after all, the captain has always been like this, and it is not just a day or two. Therefore, no one discovered that they knew each other before.

Li Yuzhu led Gu Daquan to Yang Tiannan's side, and the three of them and one cow came to a nearby hillside with lush grass.

"This is a little closer to where we were just now. The grass here grows well. Groups of grazing cattle sometimes come here, and people from nearby often come here to cut pig grass. Of course, the grass here does not grow the best. Okay, the better looking one is still a little further away."

Gu Daquan said.

"Thank you, Captain Gu. I'll remember it and I'll know how to get there next time. I don't need to trouble you anymore."

Yang Tiannan smiled.

"It's okay, you're welcome. Now that you've remembered this place, I'll take you to the one further away. Sometimes the grass here doesn't grow well enough, so you can go to that place. Although it's further away, the cows can eat more. It will also be easier for you to mow the grass.”

Gu Daquan waved his hand.

"Okay, Captain Gu, please take us there."

Next, Gu Daquan took them to the hillside farther away. Since it was inconvenient to bring the cattle, Yang Tiannan stayed to feed the cattle.

Li Yuzhu followed Gu Daquan around the entire brigade and became familiar with the brigade's roads, and then Gu Daquan left with peace of mind.

After Li Yuzhu became familiar with the route of the entire brigade, he returned to Yang Tiannan and cut the grass with Yang Tiannan.

The sickle used to cut the grass was found in the cow shed, probably left by the person who used to feed the cows. In addition, the three of them also found several backpacks in the bullpen, and they just happened to carry them out today.

Since there is only one sickle, the two people can only switch between cutting, and it is not too hard for one person to cut and the other to rest.

The cow was full, and the two of them figured that time was almost up, so they took the cow back. Usually the cattle herders don't want to walk, so they sit on the back of the cattle and drive them back.

However, the two of them knew that their identities were sensitive and they did not dare to show off too much, lest they be caught by someone who wanted to, so they both chose to lead the cow back instead of sitting on its back.

Since he came out early, it was not too late when he went back. Jiang Mengzhi had already cleaned the cowshed. The three of them estimated that it was still a while before they had dinner, so they decided to go to the mountain to collect some firewood.

Now the weather is getting colder and colder. Although the cowshed has some firewood collected by the previous people to keep the cows warm, it is still not enough. The three of them need to collect a lot more, otherwise they may not be able to survive this winter.

The three of them are quite old. Li Yuzhu and Jiang Mengzhi were both engaged in cultural work in the past. Their bodies are relatively weak, so they cannot move much in one trip.

In order to collect more firewood, the three of them discussed it. Jiang Mengzhi stayed on the mountain to collect firewood and tied it into a pile. Li Yuzhu and Yang Tiannan first moved down the bundled items, and then came up to move the rest.

The three of them calculated the time and estimated that it was almost time. Jiang Mengzhi went down to cook first, leaving the two men to continue carrying the remaining firewood.

We ate a little more for lunch, one sweet potato and one potato for each person. It's still roasted over fire, after all, it's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice. Although Jiang Mengzhi's craftsmanship is good, the basic conditions here are not enough. They don't even have a stove or salt, so he can't make other tricks at all.

In the afternoon, it was the same as in the morning, with cattle grazing and cutting grass. Jiang Mengzhi also went there in the afternoon. After all, all the cleaning had been completed in the morning. Now she has to follow the two men to cut the grass.

In addition to the grass for the cattle, they also cut pig grass for the pigs in the brigade to eat, as well as grass for the sheep to eat.

As for the problem of not having enough sickles, they went to Liu Xiaozhu, who was in charge of the warehouse, and asked for two more, and returned them in the afternoon when everyone was off work.

Liu Xiaozhu didn't make it difficult for them. After all, how could they work without a sickle, and how could they undergo labor reform if they didn't work? It’s not like the brigade doesn’t have sickles, so there’s no need to embarrass them over this trivial matter. After all, there is no grievance or enmity.

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief. After all, they had seen the people outside. Regarding the attitude of these bad elements, they were really afraid of being targeted here. Unexpectedly, the team members here had a good attitude towards them. Although they were not close, they did not deliberately target them. As long as they are not targeted, they are happy.
