Framed at the beginning: Female educated youth forced to marry disabled military officer

She liked his appearance, admired his character, and saw his responsibility and tenacity. Of course, she would also feel excited, but as soon as this throbbing arose, she suppressed it.

He couldn't be humane, he didn't want to just have a platonic relationship, she had her own desires.

In the last life, until the outbreak of the apocalypse, Meng Xiaoman never had a formal relationship, only a secret love that ended in nothing. In this life, she wants a normal love, whether it is spiritual or physical.

But the accident just now broke her previous misunderstanding: his third leg seemed to be fine. Not only is there no problem, he seems to be very strong and healthy.

Meng Xiaoman admitted that the feelings that she had been restraining before were about to stir up.

But, does Xiao Xiangdong have feelings for herself? Meng Xiaoman couldn't understand.

Meng Xiaoman couldn't help but think that because he had so coldly refused his invitation to share the same bed with her, and in the past six months since the two of them slept on the same bed, he had not done anything out of bounds, he probably didn't like her that much.

Thinking of this, Meng Xiaoman couldn't help but turned over and turned her back to Xiao Xiangdong: If you don't like it, just don't like it. She doesn't want to suffer the pain of having a secret love again. There are many good men. When she leaves the Qinghe Brigade, there will be many. A better-looking man than him!

I don't know if yesterday's stimulation was too great, but Xiao Xiangdong felt that his underwear was dirty early in the morning. While Meng Xiaoman wasn't awake, she sneakily got up and changed her pants.

After Meng Xiaoman left for work, Xiao Xiangdong looked at the two basins of soaked clothes and sheets and the gloomy sky that was almost dripping, and sighed.

I hope it will clear up at noon. With this beautiful expectation, Xiao Xiangdong washed all the clothes.

Unfortunately, God was not kind to him. As soon as he finished washing and drying the clothes, raindrops began to fall from the sky. The slap on the floor forced him to collect all the clothes and put them on the hangers in the bathroom.

The rain soon started to fall heavily, making it impossible to work in the fields. Meng Xiaoman and other workers also returned home one after another.

In this rare free time, there were no electronic products or entertainment activities. The two of them read quietly.

Seeing that Xiao Xiangdong's books had been turned over and rolled up, Meng Xiaoman couldn't help but said: "Do you have any other books you want to read? I will buy them for you next time I go to the county town."

Xiao Xiangdong stroked the rolled paper and said, "No, I don't have anything in particular that I want to read. I can just switch to the "Militia Military Training Manual" you bought." The bookstores that he wanted to read were also related to the military. Not for sale.

"Hey, I also bought a "Self-study Series of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry". Do you want to read it? When I went to the county this time, I heard someone say that in a few years, the country will resume the college entrance examination. By then, maybe we can also Participate." Meng Xiaoman said.

"Hmm." Xiao Xiangdong has also thought about this problem. The country cannot always be like this. The development of society requires real talents. "Then let's watch and learn together."

The heavy rain didn't stop until the evening, and the washed sheets and quilts were still wet. Xiao Xiangdong had no choice but to sleep with his clothes on and pure cotton quilts for another night.

The next day, the ground was full of water and mud, making it impossible to work. Meng Xiaoman was greedy for the fresh mushrooms on the mountain, so he made an appointment with Sister Fang early in the morning, and they went up the mountain together carrying bamboo baskets.

The mountain was slippery, but Meng Xiaoman walked extremely steadily. Even Sister Fang, who grew up in the mountains, had to admire her.

"Xiaoman, you are in really good shape now. Needless to say, you have to work in the fields. Every day you work hard, even climbing mountains is so smooth. I can hardly keep up with you."

Meng Xiaoman stopped, turned around and said, "I haven't gone up the mountain to collect mushrooms before. I walked a little faster out of curiosity. Without Sister Fang, you are very powerful."

"There are a lot of fungi on our mountain, especially after the rain. They grow one after another and grow very fast. However, not all fungi can be eaten. Many fungi are poisonous. If you eat them by mistake, people will have to eat them. The one with braids."

"Sister Fang, you know a lot. I will ask you to help me control my eyes later, which ones are edible and which ones are poisonous."

"That's for sure."

As she spoke, Sister Fang began to explain: "The most delicious mushroom in spring is the morel. Even though it looks like a honeycomb or a sheep's belly, it tastes delicious and delicious. When this thing is dried and taken to the supply and marketing cooperative, it can be sold at a higher price than ordinary mushrooms."

As soon as Sister Fang saw it, she went into the mountains to pick up fungi. She took Meng Xiaoman into the forest with familiarity. After a while, a large number of fungi were scattered in front of Meng Xiaoman.

"There are tips for picking up fungi. If you can use your hands, never use a hoe. Don't start too hard. Pull them up gently. It's best to pull them up by the roots."

Meng Xiaoman followed her movements and started picking up the fungi.

Sister Fang said while picking up: "There is also this kind of basswood flower mushroom that grows on basswood, which is also a good thing. Wow, there are so many here. It seems that we came early today and no one has come up yet. If it were later, , must have been picked up by those aunts in the village."

Collecting, drying and selling mushrooms are also considered important side jobs for the villagers of Qinghe Brigade.

"Xiaoman, come on, there are many trees and flowers here."

When they got to the place, Meng Xiaoman discovered that several dead trees lying on the ground were covered with gray-white, wrinkled fungi, and asked, "Can this be eaten?"

"Of course you can, come and pick it up."

In addition to tree flowers, Meng Xiaoman also found many fungus and picked a lot of them.

I wonder if these dead trees can still grow if they are moved into space. If so, then she can eat fresh fungi regardless of the season.

Let's move it to some space when she goes up the mountain alone in the afternoon. By the way, there are morels. Where these fungi usually grow, they will grow again in the coming year. She should be able to move some soil in there and it should be fine. .

The most common ones are oyster mushrooms and field head mushrooms, which are picked up the most.

After picking up the mushrooms, when passing by a small bamboo forest, the two went to pull some spring bamboo shoots.

The last time I passed by the mountain, the bamboo shoots had not yet appeared. Unexpectedly, after the rain came, they actually sprouted. No wonder the bamboo shoots are often used to describe the speed of springing up after rain.

When you get home, take out the mushrooms and bamboo shoots you want to eat today, and dry the rest.

Nowadays, without refrigerators or preservatives, dehydration and sun-drying are the most common methods of food storage.

There was also a dried pheasant at home. Meng Xiaoman chopped half of it and fried it with bamboo shoot slices. She also used morels and eggs to make a morel steamed egg.

After eating, Meng Xiaoman went up the mountain again. There were few people picking up fungi in the afternoon, so it was convenient for her to transplant some things into the space.
