Lin Qian's palms were slightly sweaty. The powerful look Grandpa Lin had just looked at made her tremble unconsciously.

Ye Shihua touched her head and said kindly: "Listen to your grandfather, don't reveal your wealth. After all, you are two women. It is not that convenient to do things in the village."

Lin Qian felt confused. Yes, ginseng can be exchanged, but good things must be kept.

If someone had evil thoughts, how many people in the village would be willing to side with them? She has been acting more and more erratically recently.

Half an hour later, under the reluctant eyes of the two old men, Lin Qian and Gao Xiaoan took Maomao back.

The next day, both mother and daughter got up late.

Gao Xiao'an went to check Maomao's forehead as soon as he woke up, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he found that he was fine.

On the first night of November, it snowed in Heilingtun.

Because it was warm on the kang, Lin Qian didn't find out until she woke up the next morning.

Counting the time, half a month has passed since they decided to go to the countryside.

After seeing a thin layer of snow covering the ground, Lin Qian was thankful that she had just sent a few bundles of firewood and some food to her grandparents the day before yesterday.

After Aunt Dani came several times, Lin Qian perfectly mastered the techniques of making steamed buns and pickled sauerkraut.

It was too late to make miso this year, but Aunt Dani generously gave their family a large jar.

Lin Qian and Gao Xiaoan both have bland tastes, so this jar of sauce is enough for them to eat for several months.

All the cabbages and radishes in the yard were collected, half were saved, and the other half were made into sauerkraut.

In addition, under the guidance of their neighbor Aunt Yanqing, Lin Qian and Gao Xiaoan spent another half day digging soil in the yard. They planned to plant some leeks in the house.

It was the first time for both of them to know that leeks are also very cold-resistant, can grow in winter, and are easy to maintain. If you cut a piece, it will grow again.

The leek box and leek and egg dumplings are great.

The hoe and shovel for digging the ground were all borrowed from the brigade, and Secretary Wang happily gave the approval note.

There is a tripod in the corner of the kitchen with several small wooden pots on it, where leeks and green onions are grown.

When steaming eggs or cooking noodles, just pull it out and wash it.

It's not convenient to cook in the cowshed, so Lin Qian always brings the steamed buns there. Now that it's snowing, they can be stored for a long time.

Sometimes Gao Xiao'an went out to see a doctor. After she put Maomao to sleep, she quickly closed the kitchen door and went into the space to get the rice, flour, oil and salt she had stored to make up for it.

Lin Qian also agreed with Osmanthus fragrans that when her hens are nesting, they will leave a few pullets down so that they can have eggs next year.

Now her daily life is back on track, but there are still a few things that give her headaches. The first is that it is inconvenient to take a bath, and the second is that it is too difficult to fetch water.

A village without electricity or water is enough to make people accustomed to modern life feel a hundred inconveniences.

As for the aqua toilet, I'll have to wait until summer to get a headache.

It's inconvenient to take a bath because people here rarely take a shower in winter, and basically don't. I only wash it once a few days before the Chinese New Year, and then I have to wait until I take off my cotton-padded clothes.

The reason for not taking a shower is that first of all, it is easy to catch a cold and catch a cold. The second is a very real problem, waste wood.

That's why when the carpenter Master Yang heard that they wanted to order a large bathtub, he was so surprised. He didn't know how to do it, and his master had never taught him before!

I can't make a large bathtub. Now I can only take a bath in the kitchen, because there is a fire in the kitchen and the temperature is high, so it is not easy to catch a cold.

As for washing their hair, Lin Qian and Gao Xiao'an were both glad that they cut their hair short before going to the countryside.

Suddenly I understood why so many educated youth couldn't survive in the end and found someone to marry and settle down in the village.

She and Gao Xiaoan were already at the beginning of Tianhu, and the materials in the space were also protecting their lives, but they didn't expect that there would still be so many inconveniences.

Sometimes the Wang brothers would come over to help fetch water and fill the water tanks, but they didn't have nothing to do and were free every day.

Especially after Lin Qian knew Wang Zhongqiang's thoughts, she was less willing to trouble them.

Although there are still bundles of firewood left at the entrance of the courtyard, fetching water has to be done by yourself.

Now the first thing Lin Qian does after getting up every morning is to push the triangular cart with Gao Xiaoan to the foot of the mountain to get spring water.

After two trips back and forth, six buckets of water were brought back and poured into the water tank, which was enough for them to use for one day.

Lin Qian asked Aunt Yanqing that the mountain spring water would not be too frozen in winter, so she felt relieved.

If you go to the village well to fetch water, it's a long way and there are many people.

Moreover, the mountain spring water is delicious whether used to make tea or stew soup, and it can be regarded as a joy in suffering.

Lin Qian felt that the water and electricity in the space should be turned on as soon as possible in the future. In the event of an extremely cold or extremely hot doomsday, having water and electricity would be extremely important.

In addition, she also used space to collect a pile of firewood, which saved her the trouble of carrying it and made it easier for her to take it to her grandparents at night.

After the snow fell, news spread in the village about the killing of New Year pigs in the past few days. Gao Xiaoan also said that when she passed by the well, she saw a butcher sharpening several large knives there.

Before killing the New Year pig, the village's ox cart took the villagers to the county again.

Uncle Wang said that the snow will be heavy in the future and the oxcart will not be able to move. At that time, if you want to go to the county, you will have to take a sleigh.

After arriving in Beijiang County, Lin Qian and Gao Xiaoan first went to the post office to collect the money and tickets sent by Lin Zhongqin's unit.

After that, they also picked up two packages and three letters. The two packages were sent by Aunt Zeng Jingcai, a neighbor from their hometown, and Li Mulan, a girl from the neighborhood committee who helped them buy tickets.

There was another letter sent by Song Qiuyuan alone to Lin Qian. After opening the letter, there was a beautiful hairpin inside, with peach blossoms made of pink silk. It was lively and tender. It was for a little girl at first glance.

Song Qiuyuan said in the letter that his school had been suspended and he could not take the college entrance examination. After being confused for a period of time, he decided to join the army. He always had a pen or a gun in his hand.

When Lin Qian received this letter, he might have gone to the military camp, and if he settled down in the future, he would write to her again.

Lin Qian put the letter away and could only wish him well in the future.

Then she opened the package sent by Li Mulan, and the contents were tightly wrapped in newspapers.

Lin Qian opened the letter and read it first. Li Mulan said that Harbin's red sausage was delicious, and also talked about some trivial things in life, including the fact that she was being introduced enthusiastically by the aunts in the neighborhood committee.

In addition, she sent Lin Qian some oranges from the south and some dried seafood, which her father brought back when he went to the south with the train.

Lin Qian read the letter with a smile. Li Mulan's character was a bit carefree, and she wrote the letter just like herself, making people laugh.
