Reborn Soul: Me and My Family

Chapter 124 Moving and the First Trip to the Mountain

She took the two of them to see the house on the spot. Aunt Zhao was also a diligent person. Although the house had not been occupied for a long time, she would often go in to clean it. The house was clean and tidy.

There was no need to clean up, just light the kang and sleep there at night. There were not many people in their family, so it was not difficult to stagger the cooking times.

The two were very satisfied and handed one month's rent to Aunt Zhao on the spot. While talking, Wang Nianke saw a cart in the corner of the yard.

An idea came to him: "Uncle, Madam, can you lend me this cart? We can bring the stuff here and save us from making two trips."

"Oh! Can you two little girls pull it? Why don't you go and pack it first, and I'll ask your uncle to come over and help you pull it back later."

"Auntie, thank you so much. You don't need to help us. We can just borrow the car. Yiyi is very strong, so you don't have to worry."

Shao Yiyi pushed the cart, and after the two thanked the team leader, they pushed the cart in a hurry back to the educated youth site to pack up their things.

The two had only been there a few days, so most of their luggage was unpacked. Now they only had to pack their bedding and toiletries.

The task of digging out manure was quite a blow to the educated youth. They all lay in their beds and had no intention of paying attention to the two of them, as they were not moving their things anyway.

The cart of Uncle Fan's family was kept very clean by Aunt Zhao. It was probably washed with water after use.

The two of them put the packed things directly on the cart. After everything in the room was packed, Wang Nianke knocked on the door of the male educated youth dormitory.

The person who came to open the door was Lu Guoqing. As soon as he opened the door, he saw that the cart in the middle of the yard was piled high with things.

"Wang Zhiqing, what can I do for you? The things in the car are yours. Are you going to move them away?"

"Lu Zhiqing, please help me call Captain Ding. We have found a place to live and will move out today."

When they heard that the two were moving out, several male educated youth in the room ran out one after another, led by Ding Zhijian.

"Wang Zhiqing, Shao Zhiqing, why are you moving out so suddenly? Have you found a place to live?"

"Yes, Mr. Ding. Although we have only been here for a few days, we still want to thank you for your care. There is an empty room in Aunt Zhao's house in the village.

We agreed with her family to rent a house first, and then build our own house after a while.

We are not moving away. The food that the village lent us is still stored together with yours.

I just want you to come out and look so we can take our share of food."

"Well, since you are leaving, you must get your own rations. Let's go! I'll go with you to get them."

The two followed Ding Zhijian to the kitchen and took out their own rations and placed them on the cart.

Shao Yiyi was still as taciturn as ever, but she still had to say the polite words.

Wang Nianke turned around and said to the others, "Thank you for your care these past few days. We will leave first."

They had all seen Shao Yiyi's strength with their own eyes. As the elder brother and team leader of the educated youth site, Ding Zhijian still had to maintain superficial harmony. He asked politely,

"We are all from the same village. If you two need any help in the future, just let us know. Do you want us to help pull the cart over?"

"No need, Yiyi is very strong, I will help push from behind, we will be there in a short while, and it is time to cook now, so we will not disturb you for now."

The two people's moving away also caused a small ripple in the hearts of Lu Weiguo and others who came to the Youth League Institute with them.

The team leader did not go home after leaving Uncle Fan's house, but turned around and went to the homes of the people who helped Ouyang Qing and the others build the house last time.

It was the off-season, so they were of course happy to make some money. They didn't care about the dark, and they got together and decided to ask the team leader to get up as early as possible tomorrow.

After deciding on a place to build the house, they can start construction tomorrow. They also have to burn the foundation first, which is not an easy job.

Because of the incident caused by Diao Caishu, many people in the village became busy and a cold wind was blowing outside.

At this time, Ouyang Qing was lying on the beach in the space basking in the sun, and on the table beside him were various fruits and drinks.

I've only been here for a few days and there's always something to do every day. It's hard to take a break and come to this space to bask in the sunshine.

The wind was still blowing yesterday, and today the sun came out for a rare time. Although the ice in the canal did not melt, the temperature when the sun came out was much better than the previous two days.

Seeing the sun coming out, many people in the village had already gone up the mountain. Qiao Hongmei came with her two daughters-in-law and knocked on the door early in the morning.

The sun was out so rarely that they had to go up the mountain. Maybe if they were lucky, they could find something to eat.

The children at home are too young, and going up the mountain would waste time. Since it is the slack season during the farming season, I asked the older men at home to help take care of them.

After the slack season, when the weather is good, many people in the village go up the mountain. Those who are lucky can pick some chestnuts, hazelnuts, walnuts, pine nuts, etc.

Even if I don't have these, I can still pick up a bundle of firewood and take it home, which is better than lying at home with nothing.

People who pick these up usually take them home and dry them first and then fry them.

During the winter and Chinese New Year, these snacks are a great way for everyone to pass the time.

Normally, many villagers would go up the mountain when the weather was good, but because the temperature suddenly dropped in the past two days, no one went up the mountain.

When the weather is good during the off-season, most villagers will go to the mountains, some to look for food and some to collect firewood.

It’s not a big deal to have too much of this stuff, you’ll need it every day. Stock up some now when you’re not busy, so you can save some energy and rest when you get busy.

Daqing Mountain is very big, and there are many edible things there. There are several families in the village who are good at hunting, and the smell of meat often wafts out of their homes.

There are a few families in the village who are envious, but it's useless. The rule they have set is that if you want to eat it, you can go up the mountain and get it yourself. As long as it's not a big wild animal,

You can keep the food for yourself, but most people don't have the courage to do so. If you want to eat meat, you have to go to the commune and buy it yourself.

There are two other ways. One is to wait until the end of the year when the village distributes pork. The other is to wait for the village to organize a militia and have one man from each household go up the mountain to hunt for a few days.

If you are lucky, you can get a lot of meat for the New Year. Of course, in addition to the wild animals in the mountains, there are still many things to eat.

For example, after the spring, you can dig wild vegetables from the mountains to eat, as well as mushrooms in the rainy season and many wild fruit trees. Whoever finds them can pick them.

Some people have dug up Pueraria root in the past. I heard that after making it into Pueraria root powder, they exchanged it for a lot of money in the commune. Of course, as long as you have the ability to find it.

The three of them had originally planned to make dumplings today, but when they saw the sun coming out, they gave up the idea.

However, Ouyang Qing still took out a piece of mutton, intending to make mutton dumplings for lunch after it thawed.

Ouyang Qing was also a little bit looking forward to it. After all, the mountain in the space was not as lively as this one. If she really came across something edible, she could still do something about it.

Get something out of the space and eat it openly.

In the past few days, they have only visited the commune once and walked around the village twice. This is their first time to climb the mountain.

They were all looking forward to going up the mountain, especially Ouyang Yan and Xiang Xiaoqing, as there were no big mountains around where they grew up.

Naturally, I have no experience in mountain climbing. "Qingqing, Yanyan, Xiaoqing, this is my eldest daughter-in-law Fangfang, and this is my second daughter-in-law Pingping. They are both a few years older than you.

From now on, you can call me sister-in-law or sister. They just came back from their parents’ home yesterday. If it weren’t for the good weather today, we would have planned to go up the mountain together.”

"Mom, do you think all the girls in this city are so pretty? Hello, my three sisters.

When mushrooms and wild vegetables start to grow in the spring, if you still want to go to the mountains, just let us know in advance and we’ll go together.”

The eldest daughter-in-law of Qiao Hongmei who said this, does she still remember that Comrade Ouyang gave their family a lot of good things to subsidize them during the construction of the house?

Next came Qiao Hongmei's second daughter-in-law, who told Ouyang Qing and the others that they could go and chat with them when they had nothing to do. The two sides exchanged greetings for a while.
