Chapter 166 They should be coming
Even if she resists at first, if she is brainwashed by Mrs. Yuan later, will she still resist?
Xia Chan couldn't guarantee it.
Anyway, she will keep distance from the Yuan family in the future.
Then Xia Chan read the letter sent by Xiao Yunfan again, saying that his neighbor's two children were probably going to the countryside. He was afraid that Xia Chan would forget their names, so he wrote down the names of the two children again in the letter.
In fact, they don't need Xia Chan to take care of them when they go to the countryside. The educated youth point in the team has built single rooms and double rooms. The brothers and sisters live in double rooms to avoid being told by others. They can live in single rooms and don't get involved with everyone else. Basically, it's not a big deal. .
And she didn't think these two children could be bullied. Xiao Yunfan didn't come from a poor family at first glance. Although she didn't know his family, she felt that he must be good. So, could his neighbor's family be any worse?
The children raised by such a family must not be underestimated.
The two children probably only came to the countryside to experience themselves for a period of time. After all, in the city, they might be surrounded by people who admired them, which led to them not having a clear understanding of human nature. When they came to the countryside, this When you meet many people on the road, you can understand the dangers of human nature through various situations in the world.
After returning home from get off work, Xia Chan opened the package sent to her by Su Yu and Xiao Yunfan. The transaction with Su Yu had never stopped, mainly to give her things a provenance.
The things Xiao Yunfan sent her were good things, such as malted milk, cans, toffee, biscuits, etc. This time there was even chocolate, which must have been bought from a foreign exchange store. In this era, chocolate was imported, and it had English on it. Don't leave it outside, otherwise something big will happen.
So Xia Chan just put the chocolate into the space, and when it was time to give it to her brothers, she just peeled off the packaging bag and gave it to them. They couldn't even drink the coffee, and they probably couldn't eat the chocolate, so she gave them a piece each. Just taste it.
As for other things, half of them are stored in the space. Now that the temperature is getting higher and higher, things are easy to break when left outside, so it’s better to eat a little and take a little!
The time is quickly entering June, and it has already entered early summer in other places. The temperature here is not low. It is summer at noon, but the temperature difference between morning and evening is a bit big, so be careful when dressing.
It still hasn't rained in June. Looking at the dazzling sun hanging high in the sky, Xia Chan feels a little anxious. If it doesn't rain, the food production will definitely decrease. By then, the things she planted on the mountain will naturally also Cut production.
The yield will be very low in the first year, and no one will believe it by then. Naturally, no one will be willing to grow these things on their own land.
But after all, it was only June, and Xia Chan did not dare to say anything. She was afraid that if it rained later, others would blame her for making a fuss, so she only ran over and asked the elders of the people she was close to, saying that she was very scared and had not been able to rain this year. If it rains, will food production be reduced?
Let everyone think that she is really afraid of hunger, rather than that she is deliberately reminding everyone, so that everyone will take this matter to heart and prepare to stock up in advance.
If it rains later, the things I stock up now can be saved for the cat to eat during the winter without going to waste.
Therefore, people who had good relations with Xia Chan's family were particularly diligent. After work, the whole family would go up the mountain to look for things. Others saw them and asked them what they were doing. They said they were afraid of going hungry, so people who were afraid of going hungry would naturally follow. Become more diligent.
There is plenty of food in hand, and there is no panic in mind.
In fact, no matter what season the bamboo shoots grow, as long as there are bamboo shoots, they are edible, so even if the weather is getting hotter, Xia Chan will still break off bamboo shoots when she has time. It doesn't take much trouble to go out morning and evening to break off a basket of bamboo shoots. There are many varieties of bamboo, and the bamboo shoots appear at different times. Except for winter bamboo shoots, which are not available in winter, bamboo shoots are available in other seasons.
Everyone knew that bamboo shoots were not delicious. When they saw Xia Chan breaking off the bamboo shoots, they thought she was taking them home to feed the pigs, so no one tried to fight with Xia Chan for the bamboo shoots. Xia Chan didn’t say anything because she had no time to break off the bamboo shoots. Go find other things, and naturally leave other things to others.
And when she went to break the bamboo shoots, it was not just to break the bamboo shoots, but also to water the cassava, persimmon and jujube trees she planted. She couldn't just let them wither and die in the first year of planting!
After all, we may have to rely on cassava at the end of the year!
Xia Chan fetched water from the stream every now and then to water the vegetables grown in her own and her brother's yards. She also watered the fruits and vegetables she planted on the mountain and took good care of them. After all, many vegetables matured in the summer. Take good care of it, but if there is no production, not only will they not be able to eat, Xia Cicada will also easily lose money.
No one wants their year of hard work to go to waste.
When it was getting dark, Xia Chan went home with a basket of bamboo shoots on her back. She happened to meet the team leader. The team leader told her that she would go to the train station to pick up the educated youth tomorrow. Wait a little longer at the train station.
Xia Chan nodded, indicating that she understood.
It is estimated that Xiao Fengfeng and Xiao Tiantian, Xiao Yunfan's neighbors, also came over, otherwise Xiao Yunfan would not remind her again and again.
The next morning, Xia Chan had breakfast at home, then went down the mountain early to the brigade leader's house, drove the tractor and set off with the brigade leader. On the way out of the production team, she met villagers going to the town, so she asked People got on the tractor.
Every time Xia Chan goes out on her tractor, she always brings an empty backpack, so that she can bring back some good things.
Whether it is coarse grains or fine grains, the family has enough to eat, so there is no need for her to take out grains from the space. She just often brings out some good things to improve the living standards of the family.
The train tickets for the educated youth going to the countryside are all purchased by the local educated youth office, and then a telegram is sent to notify the arrival time of the train. So today Xia Chan has to pick up the educated youth on two trains, one arriving at ten o'clock and the other arriving at 10 o'clock. Arrive at one o'clock in the afternoon.
When they arrived outside the train station and parked the tractor, Xia Chan hung the commune sign on the tractor and said to the captain, "Uncle Captain, I have something to deal with, so I'll ask you to wait here for a while. ”
"Go on, go on. It's my job to pick up the educated youths. There was no tractor in the team before, so we used ox carts to pick them up. Most of the day passed like this." The captain waved his hand. .
It's still early before 1pm, so Xia Chan can have a nice stroll around the county town.
And there is usually a black market behind the train station, but Xia Chan always goes to the black market in the town, because it is closer there and it is too far to come to the county seat.
Xia Chan found a deserted corner and dressed up like a man, but it was different from the image she had when she went to the town to do business, because she was afraid that the two black market bosses would interact with each other and find out that they were the same person, so this Once he was replaced by a middle-aged rough man with a dark complexion.
