    ? Each of the rabbits was fed with a drop of spiritual spring water, then put into the box, and drove the sheep back home. Now the ewe's belly is already big, and it is estimated that the lamb will be born next month.

    Going down the mountain happily, I made mung bean porridge for myself, and I added sugar when I ate it, which was very delicious.

    Just after dinner, Liu Maocai stayed over.  "Hongmei, I will organize everyone to cut the sweet potato seedlings tomorrow, and the sweet potatoes can be removed the day after tomorrow."

    "Okay, I don't want sweet potato seedlings either, so I will feed them to the old cows."

    "There are so many sheep in your family, what do you feed them in winter?"

    "I mow more grass, and sheep eat less than cows, so I can handle it anyway."

    "It's okay, if you don't have enough to eat, you can go to the cowshed to get it."

    Liu Maocai went back. In fact, he didn't need to come here at all, but since the sweet potatoes were planted by Zhang Hongmei, it's better to say something.

    Now that the Communist Party is under communism, the sheep in Zhang Hongmei's family will also be included in the collective, but let's try to get her benefits.

    The bell rang early the next morning.  The strong laborers in the village all carried baskets and sickles, as well as hatchets. After all, they were going into the mountains, so they still carried a knife for peace of mind.

    Zhang Hongmei also went with her.  But she was herding sheep.

    The second fool walked with her.  "Sister Hongmei. Have you gained anything this time?"

    "There was a dead rabbit the day before yesterday, and there were two injured rabbits yesterday. I took them home and raised them. I think they can be kept alive."

    "You want to raise everything. If this sheep has lambs, there will be at least five or six lambs. You will have more than ten sheep, and you will not be able to feed them by then."

    "Hey, if you can't afford it, kill and eat meat."

    "It's a good idea, but the cooperative will be established soon, and you will have to hand it in at that time. You can't even eat if you want."

    "Then let's eat one in a few days? I really don't want to part with it. I guess I can't eat it even if it's cooked."

    "The little girl is hypocritical, how about I sell it for you?"

    "It still doesn't work. Now that there is a disaster, food is important? How can it be sold? Besides, even the Communist Party is for people in our village to eat. I don't feel bad."

    "Good girl, you have a conscience. The elders in the village didn't love you for nothing."

    The two chatted and felt that they would arrive soon.

    "This sweet potato field was planted by Hongmei. She took the initiative to hand it over to the village. This is because the child has high awareness. As elders, we must remember the good of the child."

    Liu Maocai emphasized it before working.  The main purpose is to give Zhang Hongmei a good impression, so that the big guys can take care of her more in the future.

    Everyone agreed, and they all knew that this girl was grateful.  Naturally, he had a better impression of her.

    Liu Maocai ordered everyone to start working. Wang Hongxi didn't come today. He went to the village for a meeting.  Of course, today in the mountains, except for sweet potatoes, you can't talk about it, or you will be in trouble.

    The sweet potato seedlings on the six or seven acres of land were cut in three hours, and after that, they went back to carrying the seedlings.

    This job is not easy.  In order to save the runway, everyone¡¯s baskets are decorated with special porcelain solids, and the tops are even pointed.

    More than 50 people did not put it back in one trip.  After two trips, I finally went back.  It's not until two o'clock in the afternoon when I get home.

    Zhang Hongmei didn't follow her down the mountain, but drove the sheep down the mountain as usual.

    Early the next morning, all the labor force in the village was mobilized.  This time everyone was carrying a pickaxe.

    No animals came to harm me overnight.  Looking at the sweet potato nests protruding from the ground, everyone is very happy.

    The men are digging with big picks, and the women and children are responsible for packing into the frame.

    This time it was Wang Hongxi who led the team, and Liu Maocai stayed at home and was in charge of weighing and warehousing.

    Now the baskets are full of big sweet potatoes without pick damage.  When it is full, the women call the men to carry it down.

    Everyone is busy, and the elderly left at home are in charge of cooking. This time, the meal is the public food in the brigade.

    Lunch is steamed rolls with minced bacon, which satisfies my craving.  It's full again.

    The children are responsible for picking up the ones with pickaxe injuries, and now they are separated and stored in the warehouse for easy storage.

    Of course, there are also old people in the warehouse who are responsible for sorting.  The division of labor is clear, so there is no delay in work, and finally all the sweet potatoes are put into the warehouse before dark, and dinner is also eaten at the brigade headquarters, corned head and wild vegetable soup.

    It is estimated that only the people in Liujiatun can have enough food in the whole township now.

    Liu Maocai stood up before eating, "A total of 12,800 catties of sweet potatoes have been put into storage today, and 9,000 catties of first-class sweet potatoes."

    Everyone was boiling, and they knew how to settle accounts and understood that this was equivalent to each person getting more than 600 catties of sweet potatoes.  ?The village is finally at ease. The crops in the village have not been harvested, and they will definitely not go hungry this year or next.

    Liu Maocai went on to say, "The weather is fine now. I discussed with the village chief that we should slice and dry the sweet potatoes tomorrow. All the women are responsible for cutting, while gay men are responsible for washing and carrying baskets, and children and the elderly are responsible for drying."

    Liu Maocai arranged tomorrow's work and everyone started eating without any objections.

    Everyone feels sweet and delicious even if they drink wild vegetable soup without oil and water.  Because I don't have to go hungry, I feel at ease.

    Today, Zhang Hongmei squatted to pick up sweet potatoes for a day, and felt leg pain. Before eating, she fed all the mouth-opening ones at home, so she entered the space when she came back, took a bath and went to sleep.

    After waking up, Zhang Hongmei felt that she could relax for a while, without the stress, and let the ground in the space rest.

    The job assigned to Zhang Hongmei the next day was drying. Erya asked for leave yesterday. Today, the two of them are together, and it is Zhuzi who is responsible for carrying sweet potato chips for them.

    "Hongmei, it takes three days to cut the sweet potatoes, and five days to dry them. I think we'll go to the sweet potato field early tomorrow before going to work."

    "Could it be possible that Brother Erfool will have prey?"

    "There should be. Let's set off at four in the morning and go take a look."

    "Okay, maybe everyone can have a sip of broth."

    The three of them made an agreement, and the pillars were replaced again.  "Erya, Hongmei, why are you foolish looking for you?"

    Erya and Zhuzi are cousins, and Zhang Hongmei still remembers that Zhuzi was overthrown by Zhang Aiguo, so she didn't hide it from him.

    "We want to go to the traps in the sweet potato field tomorrow morning. Brother Erfool said there might be prey."

    "Shall I go to China with you?"

    "Okay, let's go together."

    At noon, it was still Wotou Wild Vegetable Soup, so I didn't rest after eating, so I continued to work.

    I cut half of it in a whole day. Of course, the ones that were cut first were all with pick injury. Only the small sweet potatoes that grew straight were put into the cellar and saved for the sweet potato kang next year.

    It was a tiring and hot day, and I fell asleep after taking a shower in the space.

    It was ten to four o'clock when Zhang Hongmei came out, and Liu Erya came over after a while.  There are also pillars, and the second fool is the last one to arrive.

    All four are equipped with the same equipment, carrying a basket and holding a hatchet.

    After going up the mountain, no prey was found in the trap.  I went to the bottom of the radish to see that only two dead rabbits are better than nothing, at least today's soup is oily.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
