Accumulate Wealth in Life

that year (7)

The autumn harvest, even if tired, is still joyful. The return of grain to the warehouse means that in the next six months, if you have rations, you will not starve to death.

The table is also rich these days. Not all of the cob in a cornfield ripen at one time. Some are still tender. When a stick-breaker encounters such a thing, he must quickly pick up the fresh and tender corn and peel it directly, nibble on the tender corn kernels and eat it, and then eat a mouthful of white juice. The party secretary and the captain were shouting in the field. They were not allowed to steal food in private. But people are so hungry, how can they manage so much. Not how to eat or how to eat. But there are always some left over, and a family can divide it into two or three, put it in a pot and boil it with water, and it will have a fragrance of its own. Lin Yutong felt that the modern corn, any new varieties, did not taste as good as this. I heard that those new products are used as feed for livestock. The sticks were long and grainy, but far less grainy than they are now. Although it looks small, it is delicious.

There are even those children who shove the delicate corn stalks down. This piece of thing, but also with a sweet taste. Kids don't have anything sweet all year round, and this tender stalk of corn is especially popular.

Even the mules and horses in the feedlot can be considered to satisfy their cravings. This corn stalk is the best forage.

When the soybeans were harvested, it was obvious that the sky had cooled down. The fourth master's winter clothes were only fleece, and there was no padded jacket at all.

But there is cotton and leather in the space, but there is no fabric that is currently used. There was a lot of muslin, but it was all white.

After being busy for a while, I had to dye these cloths in space.

The cloth tickets that I finally exchanged are not enough for outside clothes. Once again, she felt that the regiment was good. At least the clothes are distributed seasonally.

Now this military coat, if you want it, there is nowhere to buy it.

Corn, soybeans, and sorghum are all subject to public grain. The real turn to eat at home has to be sweet potatoes.

While the grain was still drying, the production team began to distribute the sweet potatoes. This sweet potato is divided according to the head. How many meters of ridges are there for one person. Then measure them individually, and dig your own.

Throughout the year, this sweet potato accounts for most of the ration for half a year. From this time to next spring. Who made this thing high yield?

Lin Yutong and the fourth master split up. But this is more than a thousand pounds. The ones that had just come out of the ground were wet and heavy.

Today's sweet potatoes are not the same as the improved sweet potatoes of later generations. The modified sweet potatoes grow evenly, and most of them are slender strips. But now these sweet potatoes are all round bumps. If a nest of sweet potatoes has rained and puddles of water around it, then this nest of sweet potatoes will grow extraordinarily large. Each one looks like a human head. Don't think this is a bargain. This kind of sweet potato grows big because of the water, but it is not sweet. Not only is it not sweet, it also cracks open to reveal the white flesh inside. Such sweet potatoes cannot be stored at all. Take it back and wash it on the same day, you have to quickly cut it into pieces and dry it in the sun. When it's time to eat, grind the dried sweet potatoes into powder. If you catch up with the bad weather, you will be blind. When hair grows, it can only be fed to pigs.

It is precisely because sweet potatoes need to be stored in a complete condition without trauma. Therefore, shaving sweet potatoes is not only a physical task, but also a technical task.

Technically, it is obvious that the fourth master is not enough.

As soon as the rake went down, a nest of seven sweet potatoes came out. But four were injured.

Lin Yutong squatted in the back and picked the vines on these sweet potatoes, and the thin roots on them had to be removed, and the soil on them was too sticky and heavy when transported. As soon as he looked up like this, he saw Fourth Master staring blankly at the sweet potato on the rake that had not yet come down. Then he bent down and broke it, finished bird! Completely in two halves.

Lin Yutong: "..." I have to rely on this to eat, otherwise I will starve to death.

It was Wu Chunlai and Li Guofang who helped, at least it was taken back.

When you receive them at home, you have to put the sweet potatoes in the sun or in a ventilated place, and store them when the water evaporates.

Professor Cheng and the others have the least points, and the sweet potato alone is the most or half full. Lin Yutong insisted on sharing some of them. They only took those that were damaged outside and could not be stored, and they were the part that Lin Yutong would definitely not be able to handle.

He doesn't want to take any advantage of others, and he has a lot of guts.

When I got all the sweet potatoes in the cellar, and went out in the morning, my feet were a little frozen.

Lin Yutong packed up the cages in the space and looked for something that could be used. I found a box of labor protection supplies. The most practical is the labor insurance shoes. There are cotton and single, waterproof, non-slip, warm and practical.

On such a day, even if it is a single shoe, it is warmer than rubber and cloth shoes.

But the gloves are also good, and there is a frost-proof hat, which only shows a pair of eyes.

"I want to go to the county town to see and buy some cloth." Lin Yutong shrank in the arms of the fourth master, and he had to make two sets of coats.

Fourth Master nodded, "I'll go tomorrow." The cloth coupons and food coupons have been exchanged for a lot, and the clothes for the seasons must be enough. "What else do you want?"

"No more." Lin Yutong counted with his fingers, "I want to make a sheepskin coat for each of us. We have good sheepskin. Buy some wool, let people know that we have bought wool and that's it." Sweater and trousers are still required. some.

Fourth Master pondered for a long time before saying, "Prepare one more. Let's go out in a few days."

"Where?" Lin Yutong asked.

"Go to the Northwest." Fourth Master whispered.

"Look... Yin Zhen's father?" Lin Yutong asked.

"Yeah." The fourth master replied in a deep voice, "This Yin Zhen, Han Chunxia has been trying to change his surname all these years, this child is stubborn and will not change it if he is beaten to death. He has also been secretly inquiring about his father. He probably couldn't let it go. Things in the world have a cause and a result. If you occupy someone's body, you have to fulfill your responsibilities and obligations. You also write a letter and send it back to your home tomorrow. "

Really forgot about this one.

Lin Yutong wrote a brief letter early in the morning, just to report safety.

It's time to cook. The meal was just finished, and the dishes and chopsticks were not cleaned up. Wu Chunlai came over to lead the donkey, "Master, there are a lot of people entering the city today, hurry up."

During this period of time, Wu Chunlai and Li Guofang followed behind Fourth Master and Lin Yutong, while working and being taught, they really learned a lot. Both of them were very respectful to the master. Hard work and hard work are willing to help.

Teacher Feng said, "Go ahead. I'll clean up the pots and pans for you."

This society also has its bright spots, that is, it is basically possible to keep the house closed at night, every household does not lock the door, and no one loses anything. This is simply unimaginable in the future.

Lin Yutong once heard his grandfather talk about old things in the 1970s. Said he was riding his unit's new bicycle to the countryside and encountered heavy rain on the way. The road is full of mud and I can't ride. Unless you carry a bike. But at the time he sprained his foot and couldn't resist, so he parked his bike on the side of the road. There is no shop in front of the village or in the back of that place. He went back to the city by himself. No matter how expensive a bicycle is, it doesn't matter to anyone. He was ready to lose the car at that time. Planning to buy a ration unit. So, he didn't look anymore. As a result, after waiting for half a month, my feet were healed, and I had to go to the countryside to continue working. Halfway through the road, I saw the bicycle parked on the side of the road as it was, and no one moved. It's all rusted on top. How many people come and go every day on this road, but no one has such a crooked mind. The bicycles at that time were so precious, they were on the top of a modern car. But not lost. If you try it in modern times, let alone a small car, if the bicycle is parked on the side of the road for ten minutes without being locked, it is really good luck.

Lin Yutong left without locking the door, not worried at all.

The donkey carts were filled with young people. Yang Liu rolled his eyes when he saw Lin Yutong.

Fault! Who offended you?

"It's so cold, you told everyone to wait for a long time." Yang Liu complained to Wu Chunlai. The three-fold tone made everyone who heard it softened.

Wu Chunlai laughed, "Let's go! Let's go!" He was too shy to talk to the eldest girl.

This is a good and honest boy.

This is the first time she has left this Kuoshantun in the past two months. Entering the county seat, the tallest building is only two floors.

In the entire county, there is only one street that can be called a street. The so-called department store has only three blue-painted counters side by side, and the shelves behind it against the wall.

A woman in her mid-thirties sat on a stool and took out the soles of her shoes.

"Comrade, do you have wool?" Lin Yutong asked.

She may think that it is strange that Lin Yutong wants wool, she raised her head and said, "We don't have it here, we can only sell it in Harbin."

A department store in a county does not sell wool!

Lin Yutong could only focus his eyes on a few pieces of ashes on the counter. All polyester fabrics. With blue black gray and army green. Lin Yutong replaced all the cloth tickets on him with cloth before giving up. The cloth seems to be enough for four or five clothes. In fact, the coat plus the coat is only barely enough.

Once you buy something, you have nowhere to go. The street is a movie theater, and the fourth master's eyes have been looking inside. He probably only saw the movie in the original owner's memory, but there should be none in reality.

"Why don't you go and have a look?" Lin Yutong looked at the poster on the wall.

It's a real fight.

Whatever it is, curious isn't it?

Fourth Master nodded, "Go and have a look." He came to the county several times, and was embarrassed to go with others. The point is that others are not willing to spend money. If you want to invite yourself, others will not. feel like a burden. Now there are only two people left, just in time to see and see. Other people's memories become blurred over time. Where are you impressed by your own experience?

Five cents for a movie ticket. So the two spent a dime and went into the cinema.
