    After that, Zhang Hongmei went to the mountains every day to dig wild vegetables and saved a lot. The sour sauce and bitter hemp vegetables brought by Li Cuihua were quite delicious.

    On Saturdays and Sundays, Liu Erya also digs wild vegetables together, so there is no free time.

    The last time Liu Maocai went to the village for a meeting, he looked like a quail. He didn¡¯t dare to speak up. Of course, no one bothered him. He was lucky enough to pass the test. But half a month has passed, and the sweet potatoes in the field are growing well, and the sorghum is also growing.  Yes, the technician came with me when I went to the meeting again.

    The technicians came here to look at the wheat. It has not rained this year, and the ears of wheat have not been pumped well. During the meeting, all the village chiefs said that this year¡¯s production will definitely be reduced a lot, and the cobs will not sprout again. They are all old crops. Look.  There will be a disaster this year.

    The leaders of the township also attach great importance to it, which is related to their own political achievements.  There is no rush, so technicians were sent to various villages to check the situation.

    When the technicians arrived in Liujiatun, they could see that the earing of the wheat in the wheat field was still possible. This should be the reason for the relatively high humidity in the mountainous area of ??their village.  Seeing slices of sweet potatoes and a lot of sorghum, he took a deep look at Liu Maocai and left without saying a word.

    Now Liu Maocai doesn't care anymore, he just loves it.  I stayed at the old lady's house for a long time, and talked about the situation in the village outside. It was really a disaster. Even if it rains now, the production will definitely be reduced.

    Only my own village was less affected by the disaster.  I hope that other villages can also turn over the bangzi field to plant sweet potatoes. Although the sweet potatoes will not grow big, at least this will reduce hunger.  I'm afraid they don't have the courage.  I don't know if the technician will report the actual situation when he goes back?

    It was the end of the month again, and it was Friday again. The two girls returned home from school after their exams and made an appointment tomorrow to see how the sweet potatoes in the mountains were growing. They went home separately.

    Because there are several scallions given by Li Cuihua at home, Zhang Hongmei decided to bring meat pies tomorrow.  Make it when you wake up, there is still work to do.

    At five o'clock, Liu Erya came to Zhang Hongmei on time, and handed her a piece of meat pie. Erya was pleasantly surprised, "There are meat pies this early in the morning?"

    "This is our lunch. You can eat while walking, so you won't be hungry and have no energy to walk."

    Erya asked Zhang Hongmei while eating, "Why are you still carrying a shovel? No pickaxe? Still a hatchet?"

    "You bring a pickaxe, I bring a shovel, and I also bring a snakeskin bag. If there are too many wild vegetables, I can put them back."

    "It's really thoughtful."

    The two of them went to the place where the sweet potatoes were planted and saw that the sweet potatoes planted here grew much better than those planted in the ground, even though there were more weeds.

    "Let's weed the red plums, or the weeds will kill all the sweet potato seedlings."

    "What are you doing pulling weeds? Maybe animals won't come and harm sweet potatoes if weeds linger? Let God watch and reward."

    "Actually, you are just lazy, right? But what you said makes sense."

    Zhang Hongmei laughed and didn't say anything, she was really too lazy to weed.

    "Sister Erya, let's dig a few traps around the sweet potato field. I read it in the book and probably know how to dig it."

    "Zhong, I said, why do you have a shovel and a hatchet. It turned out to be for this purpose."

    "Aren't we two okay? Maybe we can really catch the prey, and then we will have meat to eat."

    Zhang Hongmei is theoretical knowledge, and has no practical operating experience at all, but it will work if the pit is dug deeper.

    Until noon, the two dug three deep pits. Zhang Hongmei also used a hatchet to sharpen a sharp wooden stick and stuck them in the pits. The girl almost didn't come up, and Liu Erya laughed for a long time.

    Zhang Hongmei vowed in her heart that next time she went into the pit, she would tie the rope first, otherwise it would be quite troublesome for herself.  The trap is covered with a layer of branches and dry grass. It doesn't look perfect, but that's all there is to it.

    "Sister Erya, let's go further inside, maybe there are good things."

    "No, what if we encounter a wild boar?"

    "You only think about good things, how can there be so many wild boars for you to touch? Let's go, it's still early."

    Zhang Hongmei actually wanted to go to the pool to have a look, if only there were fish.  They walked for almost an hour before they reached the river, mainly because they walked slowly and dug a lot of wild vegetables along the way. Both baskets were full, put them into snakeskin bags, and put them on the side of the road.  .

    When I came to the pool, I found no danger.  "Sister Erya, let's try how deep the water is. If it's dry, maybe it's life-saving water."

    "Why try?"

    "I don't know either, how about throwing a stone to see?"

    "Is that okay?"

    "I don't think it's reliable." After Zhang Hongmei finished speaking, she picked up a bowl-sized stone and threw it vigorously into the center of the river.??The splash did not startle the waves, "I guess it should be very deep. Let's talk about it after the expiration date."

    "Let's leave now, I'm feeling terrified."

    "Then let's go back."

    The two returned along the same path, carrying the bag of wild vegetables and walking towards the sweet potato field.

    Before they arrived, they heard howling, and the two of them were startled. What does this mean?

    Liu Erya grabbed Zhang Hongmei's hand, "Hongmei, let's go."

    "Sister Erya, you are waiting for me here, I will sneak over to have a look."

    Liu Erya's legs were trembling, but seeing Zhang Hongmei's persistence, she had a determined face, "I'll go with you."

    "No need, I'm quiet by myself."

    "No, why don't you go, or let's go together."

    Zhang Hongmei couldn't move Er Ya, so she nodded, and the two put down the frame, holding a pickaxe in their hands, and approached quietly.

    There are no animals in the open view, but there are howling sounds from the dug traps.

    The two were relieved, and cautiously walked over to look at Zhang Hongmei and laughed, "Sister Erya, you are really a prophecy by Chrysostom, and there will really be wild boars."

    "Scared me to death, you girl is really brave. But this pig looks bigger than last time, and it's still alive, how can we get it back?"

    "Let's do this, Sister Erya, you go back alone, secretly tell my third master, let him find a way, your tuition may be settled."

    "Let's go back together."

    "That can't be done. What if the pig runs away? I'll sit next to it, and when I see it coming up, I'll hit it with a pick. You go and come back quickly."

    Liu Erya gritted her teeth and thought about the same thing, "Then I'll go back, and I'll carry the basket when I get back, so I can run faster this way. If the wild boar really comes up, run away."

    "Understood, don't worry."

    Zhang Hongmei really didn't dare to let Liu Erya stay. After she left, she would stab the wild boar a few times to save it from howling and attracting other animals.

    Liu Erya ran all the way, praying in her heart that Hongmei would be fine.  It took nearly two hours to come, and it took an hour to go back.

    Arriving home out of breath, Li Cuihua wondered, "What's wrong with you, Erya?"

    "Mom, where is my dad? I have urgent business with him."

    "He should be in the brigade, where do you go to see, what's going on?" (Remember the website of this site: www.hlnovel.com
