There is Room for Rebirth in the 1950’s

After lunch, Lin Lishan saw that Zhou Jiao's mother and son had fallen asleep. Hastily washed the diapers, carried the money and bills in the bag, and arranged the clothes.

After leaving the west wing, she found Xizi. Lin Lishan took Xizi to the kitchen, and when she came in, she saw Zhang's mother and the others cleaning the kitchen.

Sister, Jiaojiao and Pingan are both asleep. I'll take Xizi out and come back before dinner. See if there is anything to bring. I just have a receipt in my hand, so you won't have to go out inconveniently.

Mother Zhang put down the bowl in her hand, wiped her hands, and looked at Xizi following behind, There is nothing to buy, I prepared it a while ago. I think you can take Xizi out, let's take a look. Xizi, follow you Grandma, don’t go to those remote places with bad rules, remember to remind.”

Xizi carried the new army bag on her back, and excitedly assured her loudly that she would bring it back to her grandma in absolute safety.

Lin Lishan drove the car, looking at the roads on both sides of the road from time to time, and drove along the dirt road north of the mountain.

Sitting in the co-pilot, Xizi looked around curiously, and found that it was not the road to the county town at all, so she pointed to the fork not far away.

Grandma, where are we going? I think you drove the wrong way. I often go to my uncle's, and the county town is just straight ahead on that road.

Lin Lishan replied to him with a smile: Grandma didn't plan to go to the county seat. See if grandma is driving straight to the big green mountain. Let's go along this mountain to see where there are big villages and go shopping. It's closer to the mountain. There are mountain products and wild game in the villages, and there are many things in those places, and they will be sold if they have money, and the villages next to the county town are close to your village, which is inconvenient.

Xizi rolled her eyes, and she understood in her heart that this was hunting for wild animals, Grandma, I know where it is. You go in close to the trail ahead. There are several villages at the foot of the mountain, and there are people hunting. My uncle told me However, there are also hunters in the north at the foot of Daqing Mountain, they hunt every year, and last year they killed several wild boars and sold them to the commune.

Lin Lishan listened to Xizi's instructions, and the car drove until it stopped under the Dasha tree at the entrance of the village.

The village just hasn’t started work yet, some villagers and children saw the car, and they gathered around to look at the car, and some brave boys went up and circled the car, eager to climb into the car, and were taught a lesson by the adults around them. It would be better.

Lin Lishan explained the reason for her visit to everyone. A kind-looking old lady happened to pass by and was stopped by the villagers. Hearing that they were buying wild game and mountain products, the old grandma looked at the two of them and took them back home.

On the way, Lin Lishan learned from the old man that the stocks in this village are usually sold after the autumn harvest. Her home is at the foot of the mountain, and several grandchildren often go up the mountain. There is a lot of stock in the house, and she is not in a hurry to spend money. She plans to sell it at a big market at the end of the year. I finally understood why when she said to buy mountain products and game, the villagers all called for this family.

The old lady lives at the foot of a relatively remote mountain. Outside the thatched house, there is a large yard surrounded by stones. It is estimated that the fence is high for safety. The yard was tidy and there were still undrained wild things hanging under the eaves. Seeing the old man bringing guests over, the whole family came out and looked at Lin Lishan curiously.

Lin Lishan smiled at them, listening to the grandmother arrange for the family to pack up the stock.

After entering the main room, we sat down for a while, and made a round of the other party's family's autumn harvest, dried wild animals, and some bacon and other stocks. Looking at this family, even the children are wearing straw sandals, and then look at the old man's white and patched coat. Lin Lishan didn't bargain with them, and generously paid the full amount, and also gave two catties of sugar tickets.

It's a pity that other hens are reluctant to sell and keep their eggs. It may be seen that Lin Lishan is straightforward and generous. The grandmother asked her daughter-in-law to help her find two old hens in the village.

Knowing that she would continue to buy wild game, the old man gave a detailed introduction to the surrounding villages who still had stocks, and which villages had experienced hunters.

Lin Lishan saw with sharp eyes that there was half a bun left on the kang table, so she put off her thoughts about inquiring about fine grains.

Say goodbye to this family. Lin Lishan drove the car slowly, looked at the thatched huts beside the path, and some children in patched clothes, all of them were as thin as chicken cubs, and sighed deeply. It's so hard, how about some other villages? No wonder Zhang's mother repeatedly told Xizi not to take her to a village with bad rules.

There is a family in the next door village that is also an old man and his eldest son often hunts. According to the old man's description, I drove to the house by car. I just inquired about it all the way, passing one after another, and collected a lot of good things.

At this moment, Lin Lishan somewhat understood that the harvest of the backing land was not good. The men in the village often go to the mountains to hunt to supplement their household income, so these families have stocks. I'm ready to go to the market to sell before the Chinese New Year, and exchange for daily necessities at home.

The villagers in the village are also enthusiastic and sincere, and they don't think that the price is high if they drive over. Maybe it has something to do with Lin Lishan wearing a military uniform. Now the common people respect soldiers very much.

Driving the car, Lin Lishan planned to go home after looking at the mountain goods and wild game bacon in the back. With two old hens and 100 eggs, Jiaojiao can also be nourished at night.

Grandma, we have old hens at home, we don't need to buy them, and there are a lot of eggs in my aunt's house. Xizi looked at the pile of things in the back, and now he knows that this grandma buys things in a pile, there is no shortage of.

Lin Lishan was driving the car. Hearing this, she laughed loudly. This child can bear it. She had already discovered that the first family started, and he wanted to stop it.

The old hens in your family can still lay eggs. Let them lay eggs for you to eat. This old hen has been raised for two years, and the stewed soup is very nourishing. Buy more eggs, and you can eat them too. Those mountain products and game, grandma You have to pack it up and send it to your aunt’s second uncle. They are in the Northwest, where they can’t buy these good things even if they have money. In addition to your second uncle, your aunt also has uncles and aunts. These relatives have to prepare. Let's go out with grandma tomorrow, Xizi can help grandma settle the accounts very quickly.

Xizi nodded, afraid that she might not see her driving, and hurriedly said: Okay, grandma, you take me with you tomorrow. I heard from my grandma and my mother that the family also collects mountain products from the village. When my uncle comes back, I will send them to you. Beijing. You don’t need to buy more mountain products, you buy too much. My father even asked my mother to go to the village to buy them secretly. There are too many to eat.”

Lin Lishan said with a smile: Your family, keep it and eat it slowly. You tell your father not to buy any more when you go back, and you say that grandma has already bought a lot. Your aunt has many elders, not many at all. Northeast Mountain products are famous all over the country, but they are more expensive in other places, and you can’t buy them in big cities. If you want to buy them in big cities, you can eat them slowly, and they can also be used as gifts during the Chinese New Year. Not finished.

After hearing this, Xizi secretly counted how many elders she had, and the more she thought about it, the more worried she would be, how much would it cost him when he grew up like his uncle? What will he do in the future to not worry?

Lin Lishan was driving the car, chatting with Xizi, thinking about buying more and sending them back as gifts.

These prices are local and really not expensive. During the festivals in big cities, there are few New Year’s products bought by ticket at the supply point. For example, melon seeds, fungus, shiitake mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots, chicken, and pork are distributed according to households, and good quality may not be purchased. It is given priority in the compound, but it is almost impossible to see bacon.

These wild game are meat dishes, and you can eat some of them from time to time without meat tickets, which is more cost-effective than buying them at high prices in the upper city. Last time I heard that the supply of eggs will be reduced next year, let alone meat?

Back at Zhang's house, Zhang's mother took her two daughters-in-law to help move into Zhou Jiao's house, and before they had time to say a few more words, they left in a hurry.

The men in the family are all at Xindi Kina nearby, rushing to build the yard. Father Zhang took his son there to prepare in the early morning. There is no way, we have to build a yard as soon as the weather is good. After a while, the ground will be frozen, and it will be impossible to move in in the spring.

At this time, Father Zhang and his son were busy digging foundations and making mud with everyone, and some were supporting the big billets at a distance.

Zhou Jiao was woken up, she faced the outside room, and saw a pile of broken bags, a few baskets, and the crowing of hens in the small living room outside.

Mom, you're back, why so fast? I thought you didn't come back until evening at least. Where did you collect so many things? Zhou Jiao asked curiously,

Lin Lishan was outside, carrying the chicken coop under the eaves outside, and vaguely heard Zhou Jiao's voice inside, and hurried to the inner room, You are awake, quickly change the diaper for Ping An, and feed, or wait a while started crying.

Zhou Jiao nodded, hugged Ping An to nurse, and took the diaper from her mother's hand, Mom came back very quickly. I thought you would come back after dinner anyway. Where did you go to collect so many things? , these things are hard to find now.”

She also wanted to collect it by herself after confinement. It seems that there is no way around here, so she has to go farther.

Lin Lishan smiled happily and said, I didn't expect to collect so many. I took Xizi and drove north along the Daqing Mountain. I heard from Xizi that there were hunters in the trail, and I found out about them. Just relying on those people We know each other, and we passed by one village after another. Tomorrow we will go again, and these families at the foot of the mountain have a lot of stock in their homes. They just don’t want to sell old hens, because it’s almost winter, and they still want to keep their eggs.”

Zhou Jiao quickly gave a thumbs up. It's really amazing to think of this, even knowing that hens don't lay eggs in winter. She didn't seem to pay attention to this.

Prepare more mountain products, this is more durable than wild game. It is more decent to give someone a new year's greeting in the first month than to carry pastries.

Well, that's what I thought. I bought everything today for your second uncle and mailed it tomorrow. Then I bought it and mailed it to the capital. These mountain products like those mushrooms and fungus are good things, and the price is also cheap. The dried pheasant hare, And those bacon are good things, your grandpa likes to eat these, and you can eat them at home until tomorrow summer.

Zhou Jiao nodded: I want to buy some game. It's hard to buy wild game, and you may not be able to buy so much tomorrow. Today, Xizi and I just met a hunting family. Ordinary people don't have so much meat. You should prepare more meat. , If you are lucky, if you meet a pig slaughterer in the village, you can buy more meat and go back. When the meat ticket comes out in the city, you can’t kill pigs casually in the village. Don’t worry if there are no mountain products. After eating, I’ll send it to you.”

Then I will focus on the meat tomorrow. You eat the donkey-hide gelatin in the pot first. I will stew the old hen for you as a supper. I bought two pots yesterday, and you can change them. Don't put desserts and those greasy ones. In a pot.
