    The fire in the stove was getting hotter, and water was added to the pot, and I was going to steam a few sweet potatoes for dinner.  I went to the firewood room again and took out an armful of branches. Burning of this thing is forbidden, and I have to go to the cellar to get a few pieces of sweet potatoes, so I can check the grain at home.  Zhang Hongmei doesn't want to wrong herself, although there is a generator and gas in the space, and she can cook in the space, but she still has to put on a show outside, otherwise people will see the fine grain and the cold room and it will be a big trouble.

    Zhang Hongmei put a grate in the pot, covered the pot, pushed the branches into the stove, and then ran to the warehouse, took out the key from his neck to open the door, and saw that there were 10 sacks neatly stacked inside.  More than 800 catties, there are 5 bags of twisted cobs, 2 bags of sorghum rice without shelling, and more than half of the bags of soybeans.  The uncle in the village helped, and I will try my best to help in the future.  On the other half of the board cabinet with strong sides are cloth bags, all of which are ground cornmeal and sorghum rice.  As for sweet potatoes, potatoes, and cabbage are all in the cellar.

    Go to the corner, uncover the wooden cover, carry the wicker cage down the ladder, and pass out the flashlight from the space. The cellar is about 10 square meters.  Looking at the pile of about 300 catties of sweet potatoes in the corner, there are more than 100 catties of potatoes next to it, and there are only more than 20 cabbages left, and there is nothing left. It looks empty.

    At this moment, Zhang Hongmei heard a voice coming from the yard, and she thought carefully that this was the third wife of the village head's family. "Hongmei, where are you, Hongmei? Why aren't you in the house? The fire is about to come out."

    Zhang Hongmei hurriedly packed five or six pieces of sweet potatoes, and climbed out of the cellar, "Third Mother, I'm in the warehouse." She said and walked to the kitchen.

    "That's right, your parents are gone, you have to live well, you are the only child in the family. The other three mothers won't say anything, you just remember to go home when you have something to do, there is your third uncle!  Now there is no shortage of food and clothing, so you can also leave it for your family, and in the future you will recruit a son-in-law, and your parents will rest in peace in heaven."

    "Don't worry, San Niang. I dreamed about my parents. They let me live well. I will listen to them and work hard to live well." Zhang Hongmei looked at Li Cuihua, Si San Niang, who was sitting on a small bench beside the stove, earnestly.  He made sure that he scooped warm water from the pot and put it into the earthen basin he found, and carefully washed six fist-sized sweet potatoes, put them on the grate, and covered the pot.

    Li Cuihua watched from the side, nodding secretly in her heart, this girl's work is much more efficient than before, that's right, a girl of this age must have thought about it after experiencing the sacrifice of her parents just now.  She was sent back by Zhang Aiguo at the age of 5 and has been living alone all the time. Although the villagers can help, it is because she is sensible. It is true that the children of poor families are in charge of the family early.  "Girl, it's best if you can think about it. It's better to live than to die. There is no hurdle that you can't get over. In the future, I will let Brother Jianguo and Elder Sister help you dive into the water and collect firewood with you."

    "That's great. It's all thanks to your family. I will never forget the kindness of the people in the village to me." Zhang Hongmei felt that people are really simple now. If I remember correctly, I will start next year.  That's it, I have enough food, and I will do my best to make everyone survive.

    "It's good that you know it in your heart. Everyone has selfishness, but they can give you a hand. Our village is not without bastards, but they can't be bad. Okay, I see you want to leave me and  Don't worry about your third uncle, I'll go back and cook, and I'll ask your elder sister to bring it to you later."

    "Don't worry about San Niang, I steamed sweet potatoes, and I'll eat them at night. Don't let my elder sister run around in the cold weather." Zhang Hongmei knows that everyone has two meals a day now, and now she probably has to eat them too.  It's 2.3 o'clock, and it's time for everyone to have dinner.

    "Yezhong, if the third lady doesn't treat you as an outsider, I won't be polite to you. I'll get you a few eggs to make up for it. I'll burn the kang at night to save the cold. Then I'll go back."  Clapping the dirt on his hands, he turned and walked out of the kitchen quickly.  Zhang Hongmei followed behind, "Third Mother, I don't need eggs, I don't want to eat them, but can I exchange some chickens for hatching chicks in the future? I also want to raise them. If my parents don't give me postage money, I will have to buy salt anyway."  Yes."

    "Okay, I'll give you a few, go in and watch the fire, I still need you to send them."

    Zhang Hongmei sent Li Cuihua out of the gate, turned around and locked the door into the kitchen.  The pot has already been heated to the atmosphere, thinking about the warm earth kang hugging a bunch of branches again.  Sitting by the pot table, I made a plan for myself for this year.

    There will be no drought this year, and less sweet potatoes and potatoes will be planted. Corn, soybeans and sorghum will be planted on 4 mu of land, and the remaining corners will be planted with sweet potatoes and potatoes.  I have high-quality seeds, and if I find a way to exchange them for the villagers, the output will increase by 2.3 hundred catties, so that everyone will have more food in their hands.  Liu Maocai is not a rash person, and he probably won't be hypocritical.?? Grain production, it will depend on the situation at that time, even if one's own people are small, no one will believe it.  Thinking of this, I feel powerless for a while, but it is human effort, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain.

    After thinking wildly for a while, the fire in the stove was also extinguished. I got up and took a broom to sweep the kitchen floor. The atmosphere in the pot was already low. I lifted the lid of the pot and pricked it with chopsticks.  He went back to the room and entered the space. He had to clean himself up first, and he didn't even have the desire to eat with this clothes on.

    After entering the space, I breathed a sigh of relief, walked into the remodeled bathroom, took a comfortable hot bath, picked up the bathrobe on one side, my God, it was all on the ground, and I couldn¡¯t carry it back with my hands.  When I got to the bedroom, I looked at the clothes I prepared and wanted to cry. At that time, I never thought that I would become smaller and I couldn¡¯t wear them. Although I can do farm work and cook, I really can¡¯t sew.  .

    I had no other choice, so I had to go to the warehouse to have a look. I remembered that I had bought children¡¯s thermal insulation and underwear. It was half the price of the adult¡¯s when I bought it, so I got started. It¡¯s okay, or it¡¯s Xiaohongmei¡¯s clothes  I couldn't accept it myself.  It took me a long time to rummage in the warehouse before I found it. It was from 80-160 yards, which was okay.  Looking down at my thin body, I reluctantly took out a set of 110-size long johns, a set to keep warm. As for the cotton-padded jacket and trousers, I should wash them in the washing machine and wear them. I will find out the fabric and cotton tomorrow.  Let's help make a new cotton padded jacket!  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
