Reborn in the 60s, starting with going to the mountains and countryside

"Brother Hao, have you had breakfast? Do you want some?" Sun Chaoshu asked Ye Hao while holding the steamed bun.

Everyone got up at three o'clock in the morning. Maybe it was because they were too tired from walking on the mountain road yesterday, so they were less able to sleep this morning than the others.

"I've eaten, you go ahead and eat. You still have to work after eating."

"What kind of work are we doing? We were made to work when we first arrived, and we were not allowed to rest." Niu Jianwen interrupted at this time.

"I'm doing it for myself. Let's set up the stove first. Otherwise, we can't go to Captain Li's house every day to eat whatever we eat in the future."

No one had built an earthen stove before, so Ye Hao went to Captain Li's house to ask how to build one and see if there was anyone with good skills in the village who could help.

"You go back first and ask someone to bring back some mud and dry thatch, and I'll find someone to help you."

Ye Hao came back and asked some boys who were stronger to pick up some baskets of mud, and some girls picked up a pile of thatch.

Everyone prepared the materials, and Captain Li also brought over an uncle who looked to be in his 50s.

"This is Uncle Li Bang from the east end of the village. You can just call him Third Uncle. He is the best bricklayer in our team."

"Hello third uncle."

"Third brother, please help these young comrades get a stove. They just came to our place and they don't know how to do it."

"Okay, Dayou, you go ahead and I'll do it for these young people."

Uncle Li Bang was not a good talker. After Captain Li left, he asked, "Where are you going to put the stove?"

Ye Hao pointed to the side of the warehouse and said, "Put it here for temporary use."

Uncle Li Bang is worthy of being a mason. In less than two hours, he built an earthen stove.

"Young man, it's ready. Don't use it yet. Wait for two days to dry in the shade before using it. Also, there is no rain cover here. If it rains, you won't be able to cook. You can go find some wood and thatch and build a shed on it. ."

"Okay, thank you, uncle."

"Okay, if you need anything, come to me at the east end of the village. I'll go back first." After that, Uncle Li Bang left.

"Let's find something to build a shed on here. Although it's for temporary use, it won't be good if it rains in the past few days." Ye Hao suggested.

"Don't bother yourself. It'll only last a few days. It shouldn't rain. There's a drought all over the country now," Niu Jianwen said.

"Niu Jianwen, you can't say that. This is at the foot of the mountain, and the rain in the mountain comes at any time." Zuo Lei disagreed with Niu Jianwen's opinion.

Little girl Zuo Lei didn't talk much all morning. It seemed that she was too tired yesterday and her mental state was better now.

"Okay, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what might happen. What if it suddenly starts raining while we are cooking. It won't be a big deal anyway. Let's work hard together. It will be fine soon." Ye Hao felt vaguely. This group of people took the lead. Everyone started to focus on him.

Those who chop wood chop wood, and those who pick thatch pick thatch. Lu Bingsheng knows how to weave straw mats, and he weaves thatch into straw mats.

It took me a whole afternoon of work to put up the shed over the stove.

Zhao Yuanhang seemed to have accepted his fate now. He continued to help with the work today, but did not say a word. It's like I've lost my soul.

Ye Hao looked at Zuo Lei and thought: This little girl is so powerful, just tell Zhao Yuanhang that she is autistic.

Ye Hao didn't bother to care about their affairs, he just wanted to live his own life.

Since everyone had just arrived here, there was no food, and the stoves were not good, so everyone contributed some money, and now the fellow villagers have food for two days.

It's not possible to go all the way to Captain Li's house. Captain Li's house definitely doesn't have that much food. Ye Hao was elected as the captain of their team going to the countryside. He was asked to discuss with Captain Li to see who had extra food, so that these comrades could make do with it for two days.

In the end, everyone was divided into four families. Niu Jianwen, Niu Jianwu, and Wang Rong went to the mason Li Bangshu's house for dinner.

Zhao Yuanhang and Huang Susu went to the home of militia captain Li Bangji. Li Bangji was the brother of Uncle Li Bang, and everyone called him fourth uncle.

Tang Zilan and Zuo Lei went to the house of women director Li Duanxiu.

Finally, Ye Hao, Sun Chao and Lu Bingsheng went to Captain Li's house together. Lu Bingsheng had no money, so it was Ye Hao who gave him the money. Lu Bingsheng didn’t say anything when he saw this situation. He already owed Ye Hao so much, so he was not short of it. He would just follow Brother Hao from now on. He asked him to do it. Just do whatever you want.

Everyone's food problem has been settled these days.

I worked all afternoon. There were a few people who didn't eat at noon, so they were just eating like crazy. Because Ye Hao had space and could eat at night, he ate whatever he wanted.

"Comrade Xiao Li, yesterday I said that the forest rangers would come down today, but I don't know why they didn't come down. You stay here now. When the forest rangers come down, I will assign you work." Captain Li said to Ye Hao and the others while smoking a dry cigarette. .

"Captain Li, it's okay. I will trouble you in the next few days. We will have to worry about our food every day."

"Speaking of food, Comrade Li, you are going to the countryside. There is no production yet, and there are more people coming. The higher ups have prepared a batch of rations for you. You should arrive at Fangzheng Township tomorrow. You can pick a few people to join me tomorrow. Let’s go to the countryside together to bring back your rations.”

"Okay, then we'll set off early tomorrow morning."

When everyone returned to their residence after dinner, Ye Hao shouted to everyone and said: "Comrades, the higher-ups knew that we had no rations when we came down, so they prepared a batch of rations for us and sent them to the countryside. We will go to the countryside tomorrow to collect the rations." Come back, look at those few who volunteered to go, first of all I will definitely go."

"It's a good thing to have food rations, but we have to pull it ourselves. It's such a long distance and we must be exhausted." Niu Jianwen was the first to jump out and complain.

"Niu Jianwen, just say a few words and I'll give you rations. If you still complain about this and that, I'll go tomorrow." Zuo Lei seemed to dislike Niu Jianwen and would choke Niu Jianwen whenever she had the chance.

"I'll go too." Tang Zilan said.

"Okay, Zilan, Leilei, you girls just stay at home, and us boys can go. Brother Hao, I'll go." Sun Chaoshu saw that Tang Zilan was going and persuaded him quickly.

Tang Zilan was about to retort when she was interrupted by Ye Hao: "Okay, Zilan, you guys are at home, clean up the place where we live, and we boys will go there tomorrow."

"Brother Hao, I'm going too." Lu Bingsheng was following Ye Hao now.

Niu Jianwu looked at his brother Niu Jianwen and said, "Brother Hao, I'm going to leave my brother at home. He can't help even if he goes."

"Okay, then I, Sun Chaoshu, Lu Bingsheng, and Niu Jianwu will go. The rest of you will clean up here at home."

After arranging everyone's tasks for tomorrow, they dispersed.

Sun Chaoshu walked to Ye Hao and said, "Brother Hao, I see there is a stream in front of the village. Let's go catch some fish."

"Let's go in a few days. Have a good rest today. We have to walk back and forth tomorrow, and we have to carry stuff when we come back."
