"Uncle, you know that even though Yu Shui is a girl, her appetite is almost as great as mine. If I hadn't brought back the rations saved from the canteen, my family would have starved."

He Yuzhu was telling the truth. It was also because he and Yushui rarely ate corn flour. The He family had always eaten two-grain flour or white flour.

Yi Zhonghai knew He Yuzhu's character very well, and he had never thought of saying this in one go.

What he wanted was He Yuzhu's help in the future. After Master Liu left, Shazhu would most likely be in charge of the steel mill's kitchen, and the lunch boxes would no longer be dishes from a big pot.

Yi Zhonghai sighed and said, "Yes! It's not easy for you either. If it weren't for your aunt's poor health, I would have been able to save some money. By the way, Zhuzi, will Yushui go to junior high school next year?"

If He Yuzhu had been a little more careful, he would have stopped paying attention to Yi Zhonghai. He was still a good neighbor! Yushui lived next door to their family, but he didn't even know what grade she was in.

"Yu Shui will be in the fifth grade next year, and he still has two years to go in junior high school!" - He Yuzhu said without thinking much.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai really wanted to say what's the point of a girl going to school, since she will get married sooner or later.

Yi Zhonghai only dared to think about this. In the past few years, the brother and sister have depended on each other and are very close! If he dared to say anything, He Yuzhu might turn against him. This matter had to be done slowly and there was no rush.

Changping County, Hongqi Commune, Qinjia Village. After Qin Huairu arrived home yesterday, he asked his elder brother Qin Huaishan to inquire about Lin Dong's news.

After enjoying the care of her mother and sister-in-law for a day at home, Qin Huairu didn't want to go back to the old city.

I don’t know what happened today. Whenever I think of the bad things about Jia Zhang, I will remember Lin Dong’s words.

"Or let my cousins ​​go to the courtyard after the autumn harvest!" Qin Huairu muttered to himself.

Just when Qin Huairu was daydreaming, Qin Huaishan came back, but he looked a little unhappy.

When he saw Qin Huairu, he asked directly: "Sister, you asked me to find out about Lin Dong yesterday, and I didn't ask why. Can you tell me the reason now?"

Seeing the expression on his elder brother's face, Qin Huairu thought to himself that something was wrong. Would he bring trouble to his family?

"Brother, this is what the manager of the hospital asked me to inquire about. I guess he just wants to know more about Lin Dong. I don't know the details." - Qin Huairu would naturally not lie to his family because of Yi Zhonghai.

Qin Huaishan took a long breath and said, "Today I went to Changling Damei's house to ask about Lin Dong. I found out that the Lin family is not simple. The Lin family's inherited Xinyiquan was actually passed down from Yue Fei's Yue Family Army, the Yue Fei in the Song Dynasty in the book. It is said that Lin Dong is not afraid of wolves. In the past two years, he has sold thousands of wild boar meat. Huairu, these hunters who have been hunters since childhood believe in the law of the jungle, the survival of the fittest, and they are all cruel and violent. Live your life well and don't provoke them."

Qin Huairu naturally knew Damei, whose full name was Qin Meijuan. She was five or six years older than her and had married before the founding of the People's Republic of China. She was her cousin within the fifth degree of mourning.

But the news about Lin Dong frightened her, and she suddenly thought of the way Lin Dong looked at Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu. At that time, she thought he was smiling and had a good temper, but now the more she thinks about it, the more scared she becomes.

Qin Huairu decided to go back immediately and persuade Jia Dongxu and his daughter not to offend Lin Dong in the future.

"Brother, I understand. Don't worry! By the way, did you receive the eggs?"

"I did collect them. About 150 or 60 of them! Half a basket full. How are you going to carry them back? Don't let them all get burned on the way."

Qin Huairu was secretly grateful to her elder brother. She didn't have a ticket, and even if she had a ticket in the city, she could only buy so much.

She was in a bit of a dilemma at the moment. Although twenty kilograms was not heavy, it was not light either. What she was most afraid of was being hit and that would be the end of her. Qin Huairu could not think of a safe solution for a while.

Seeing Qin Huairu lowering his head in thought, Qin Huaishan sighed and said: Put some straw under the eggs. I will take you to the commune later and you can take the bus directly from there.

Qin Huairu knew that she had delayed her elder brother and caused him to earn at least eight work points less today. She wanted to say some words of gratitude, but when they came to her lips, she couldn't say them. She just silently flowed tears from the corners of her eyes.

Lin Dong looked at the four large jars of freshly pickled long beans and dragon head vegetables, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

Thinking that the coarse salt and big jars at home were not enough, I had to go to my seventh uncle's house to see how much he had collected.

I looked at the time and it was almost time for lunch. It would not be a good time to go. I had to wait until at least one o'clock.

It’s not that Lin Dong wants to be distant with Uncle Seventh now. The children will grow up and have more thoughts. Lin Dong doesn’t want them to think that he is always taking advantage of their family.

Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly! It is never good to be muddle-headed.

Aunt Qi helped take care of the family, and when Lin Dong came back, she gave him a gift in return. Only when there is give and take, can the relationship between relatives last long.

You can say that you are not being polite, and it’s okay to do it occasionally, but if it becomes a habit, it will create rifts even between brothers.

This is Lin Dong's principle in dealing with people. You can be close, but you must also keep a distance and don't treat yourself as an outsider.

Lin Dong likes to eat rice. There are five or six hundred kilograms of grain in his home, three hundred kilograms of which are rice, twenty to thirty kilograms each of mung beans, red beans, and river beans, forty to fifty kilograms of sorghum flour, and forty to fifty kilograms of corn flour and white flour each.

Lin Dong bought a lot of corn flour. He would mix it with bran and feed it to the poultry. He would not eat it himself.

For lunch, Lin Dong used two pounds of pork and one pound of rice to make stewed rice and fried some green peppers and eggs.

The one-month-old bean buns and fried dough sticks don’t eat much. They are also a little sleepy, probably because the weather is too hot, so Lin Dong doesn’t need to worry too much about them.

After lunch, Lin Dong pushed a flatbed truck out of the warehouse, loaded it with 20 kilograms of refined salt, all the white flour and sorghum flour, and also put three feet of flowered cloth on the truck.

He put all the money and two bags of peonies in his pocket, pushed the cart and left the house.

This is because Lin Dong is very strong. If he had a weak physique, he wouldn't be able to control the cart on the 200-meter slope in front of Lin Dong's house.

I had already greeted Aunt Seven in the morning, and when I arrived at Uncle Seven's house, he was already waiting at home.

Uncle Qi helped push the cart into the yard and said, "Dongzi, Hongqi's family brought two silly roe deer, three bamboo rats, and two large pork elbows, all pickled. She wants three pounds of brown sugar, four pounds of red wool, and four feet of cotton cloth, and she wants blue.

"How many pounds are there? Did anyone else bring anything?"

"There are 27 kilograms of pickled meat, 5 kilograms of black fungus, and 12 kilograms of shiitake and hazel mushrooms. I don't know when you will be back, and I didn't dare to collect the prey I just hunted. As you know, the purchasing staff of the food factory just came, and they have almost collected everything. If it's not enough, I will go to the neighboring villages to check."

Mountain products are not valuable in this era. There is no way around it. Only a small number of people know the value of them, and the demand is too small.
