Through 1979

Li Ran thought of what he was doing, and led the two children to continue towards the firm goal of purslane.

At noon today, he made a bowl of cold purslane, which tasted great. The whole family got together, and after each person stretched out a few chopsticks, the bottom of the bowl was seen in a short while.

Speaking of Li Ran knowing this purslane, it was also because Grandpa Li Ran mentioned it.At that time, Li Ran was only in junior high school, and he hadn't had a falling out with his parents yet. Once he saw someone selling this at a roadside stall, and thinking that his grandpa was always talking about it, he bought a copy and went home, and made it for him as Grandpa Li said. he eats.

When Grandpa Li recalled this memory, his expression always made Li Ran strange, because it was a mixture of nostalgia and rejection.

This period of time impressed Grandpa Li deeply, but it also deeply frightened him.

No matter what era, no matter how high the status of farmers is, they are a difficult group of people.No matter how good the food grows, it is all exchanged with countless sweats.

In that era, wild vegetables mixed with chaff was the most common way of eating in farmers' lives. In order to fill their stomachs, they really didn't care about anything.

And what kind of wild vegetables are available in each season and where to pick them, Grandpa Li and his generation also know very clearly.

The names of wild vegetables such as silver leaf vegetable, alfalfa vegetable, gray vegetable, thread vegetable bitter vegetable, thorn vegetable, old weed, broom vegetable, Suaeda salsa, and purslane, Grandpa Li can't stop talking when he mentions them.

If you use one sentence to explain everything, it is: Bran vegetables are worth half a year's grain.

Although Li Ran's family is not at this level now, it is not much better.On the days when there are wild vegetables, it is a matter of course.

Purslane is plump and juicy, without hair. It grows in sunny places such as fields, roadsides and garden ruins. It can not only cure enteritis, but also laxative and moisten the intestines. At that time, this kind of wild vegetable was the most "best-selling".

Cold purslane is even more delicious. If there are many ingredients, add garlic, not to mention how fresh and flavorful it is.

Li Ran was carrying a small pannier on his back, looking at the way Lili walked, he was a little startled.

Huzi is fine, he is four years old, he has run down the field countless times, and he walks steadily here.Lili is only two years old, her foot is not stable, the road is uneven, there are pits from time to time, the grass grows in a mess, and she still feels itchy when she rubs her ankles.Lili couldn't help but staggered when she walked, and Li Ran wanted to hug her when she saw it.

Lili twisted her waist and dodged it. In her eyes, she was not inferior to her brother.

Her brother is walking, she will not be that kind of useless child: "No, I want to walk by myself, I want to walk by myself."

Li Ran had no choice but to follow her. He just paid close attention to the situation of the two of them. If there were pits or stones, he led them around.

In addition, he had to pay attention to whether there was purslane, and he was really busy all the way.

After walking on the field slope for a while, Li Ran saw the target and walked slowly with the child. He took out the hoe in the basket and dug hard.

Lili was very curious. Seeing Li Ran squatting there, she spontaneously picked a good tree and pulled it hard, but the vegetable was not pulled out, and her whole face turned crimson.

Huzi licked his lips at the side, remembering the taste of the candy, and seeing that Lili couldn't make it, he walked over to help with confidence.

Li Ran squatted aside, looked at them, thought for a while, and did not stop them.

These two children were a bit too bold. In the situation just now, the two of them were not afraid at all, and they were very happy.Compared with Lili, Li Ran felt that Hu Zi was more difficult to take care of. This child usually looked very honest, but Li Ran, with his father's intuition, always felt that when he was not honest, he would cause big trouble.

If the two of them don't suffer any setbacks and still have to try everything, then Li Ran feels that even if he is overpowered, he can't control it.Anyway, purslane doesn't have any thorns and won't hurt their hands. It would be great if they could use this to keep them safe.

The two children were panting heavily, and desperately pulled the purslane, but it was still tenaciously rooted in the soil, not moving at all.Huzi looked at the hoe in Li Ran's hand and wanted to borrow it.Li Ran turned to the side and dodged past.

Pursing their lips stubbornly, Huzi and Lili continued to fight against the purslane, and finally the purslane was split into two parts by them.

Huzi stood up, pulled Lili down by the way, and then patted his buttocks, like a normal person, without any tears.Lili threw the leaves into the basket, smiled, and then turned to another purslane with Huzi.

Li Ran stopped his movements, knowing that it was impossible for the two of them to suffer the so-called setback through this, so he picked them up, stood up, told them not to move around, and took them to play later.

While talking, she took out the water bag from the back basket, asked Lili to take out the yellow skin, washed it, and gave it to the two children.With food, the two of them finally calmed down.

When I got home, I took a look at the pig trough, and the contents inside had been eaten up.The extra screws were also raised by Li Ran in a water basin for the next meal of the pigs.Beside Tian Po, Li Ran picked up some more, and now he also threw them inside.

I only hope that the pig will grow meat faster after eating this.

After putting the dishes in the kitchen, Li Ran had nothing to do.He used to work as a warehouse keeper. He was busy when he was busy, but he was idle most of the time, so he was also a person who could live at leisure.

But when he thought of Li's father and the others working outside, Li Ran felt as if there were needles growing on the chair.

The fourth brother is only 15 years old, and the fifth sister is only 13. Both of them are working, Li Ran feels ashamed to relax at home.

The chickens in the yard paced back and forth boredly, occasionally pecking at small particles on the ground with their beaks. Li Ran looked at this and thought of digging earthworms to raise chickens.Well, another thing to do.And there should be fish in the lake on the mountain, if you can catch a few fish, you can improve the food tonight.

Just doing what he said, Li Ran picked up the small back basket again, thinking that he couldn't take two children by himself, so he asked Huzi to show the way and went to the side to find Hu Jianjun.He is the only child he knows well here.

Hu Jianjun is now wearing a green hat on his head, holding a wooden gun made of camphor wood, and playing "the game between the Eighth Route Army and devils" with his friends.

With his status, he is naturally the righteous Eighth Route Army. Now he has caught the devil, and is holding a gun to the devil's forehead, muttering: "Say, where is that bastard major of yours? Take me there, I'm going Pull the skin off that bastard."

The kid who played the devil grumbled: "I don't know," and then said in a low voice, "Why do I always play the devil!"

Hu Jianjun and the other children laughed wildly: "Why else, it's because you look the most like him." I don't know where I learned those words.

Li Ran took a closer look at the kid who played the devil, he was very thin, and his cheeks were very sharp, which really fit the word sharp mouthed monkey cheeks.Based on the Chinese people's disgust towards devils, it is estimated that subconsciously they will feel that this is the most common appearance of devils.

However, Li Ran also had no feelings for the country that knelt and knelt from time to time.

Li Ran circled his hands into fists and coughed twice to attract Hu Jianjun's attention.

Hu Jianjun turned to see him, surprised: "Why are you here? I have something to do with you."

Hearing that Li Ran asked him to take him to the mountain, he said: "I don't owe you now, why did I take you to the mountain." Seeing the disappointed expression on Li Ran's face, he received it proudly: "But it seems that you are me For my cousin's sake, I'll help you."

After finishing speaking, he handed the gun to the kid who played the devil: "Come on, Shunzi, today you come to play the role of the Eighth Route Army and beat them back hard."

Shunzi took the gun and nodded in surprise, her expression could be described as grateful: "The big knife cut off the devils' heads! I understand."

Hu Jianjun enjoyed Shunzi's adoring eyes, and his whole body was leisurely, as if he was stepping on a cloud.

Li Ran looked at his way of beating a stick and then giving a sweet date, and he had only one thought: this child is really dying.

Li Ran first asked Hu Jianjun to go back to his house to get a fish basket.

Hu Jianjun was puzzled: "Fish basket, why do you want that?"

When Li Ran said that he planned to fish, Hu Jianjun quickly looked around. Fortunately, they had already left for a while, and there was no one around.Then he exaggeratedly bowed to Li Ran and said, "Master, don't make such a joke, okay?"

Hearing this, Li Ran didn't understand: "What's the matter, isn't it just to catch a fish?"

After Hu Jianjun's explanation, Li Ran realized that he had made a big mistake.Now is the period of the People’s Commune, everything must follow the arrangements of the production brigade, and the lakes on the mountains are regarded as “natural reservoirs” and private fishing is not allowed.

When the time comes, the production team will arrange the division of labor, go there to fish together, and then distribute the fish to each household according to the centimeter.

Even though the management of the people's communes has become more and more loose in recent years, every household has raised livestock by itself, but fish is an item to be distributed equally, and no one dares to touch it.

A fish is nothing, the main thing is that this person started it, and then I probably won't be able to control it.For this reason, the one at the beginning will definitely become an unlucky chicken, used to warn monkeys.

Seeing that Li Ran's expression turned black, Hu Jianjun kindly comforted him: "When the weather is good, the production team will arrange to release clean water to catch fish together. I really want to eat fish, so I can eat it when the time comes."

Li Ran knew that Hu Jianjun was looking for good words to comfort him. When it was time to release the water, at least it was the water season. In summer, he would only think there was too little water, not too much water. How could the water be cleaned up.

The reason why his expression is dark now is because he suddenly understood one thing, before he made a fortune, he had to figure out the rules here.

In the days to come, no one would explain anything to him when he encountered anything.In the past two days, he fell down the slope, and people only thought that his mind was a little muddy.After that, if no one points it out, he only realizes that he made a mistake after doing it, then he is really challenging the rules.

Fortunately, after breaking the four olds, everyone at least publicly expressed their disbelief in non-scientific things, and no one suspected that Li Ran's inner body had been replaced.

Even if he lived on someone else's skin, Li Ran felt that it was better than actually dying.Moreover, he had to admit that there was a sense of warmth in this not-so-rich family, which made him reluctant to part with it.

Unable to catch fish, Li Ran and Hu Jianjun went to the earthworm digging competition.

Hu Jianjun's body was already dirty, so it is not recommended to add more.The two young ones probably don't know what dirt is. When Li Ran dug out the earthworms with a hoe, he just reached out to grab them.

Li Ran watched this movement tangled up, took out a small jar and asked them to put the earthworms in, then broke a few twigs from the side to make them look like chopsticks, and asked them to use this clip.

Hu Jianjun opened the branch out of trouble: "Okay, just hold it with your hands, it doesn't bite people. Will the chicken lay more eggs after eating it?"

Li Ran nodded affirmatively.Hu Jianjun said happily: "That's good, I want eggs to death. My mother took them for money, and I didn't leave any of them."

Li Ran heard this, but didn't believe it.

Hu Jianjun looked like a person who was spoiled by his family. In this case, how could Hu's mother really not leave him an egg, either because he didn't let him see it, or because he was not satisfied.

But Li Ran naturally wouldn't say what was in his heart. He knew very well how mischievous Hu Jianjun was during the three meetings.
