Chapter 41 Untitled
"Is there any conflict between this Xiaocao and Song Zhiqing? Why do you seem to dislike Song Zhiqing very much?"
The others left, and several aunts got together to chat. .
“I don’t know, Xiaocao’s temper has become more and more weird recently. I heard that her family was making arrangements to introduce her to someone, but Xiaocao was not happy and even quarreled with her family, and she was beaten with milk. "
One of the aunts suddenly lowered her voice: "Don't you know, my son said he saw Xiaocao giving something to Luo Zhiqing before."
"What? Is it the Luo Zhiqing who is going to marry Jiang Xiaowan?"
…………
If Song Wei hadn’t gone far yet, he would definitely be able to hear the girl’s voice Recognizing it, it was the Xiaocao who she and Li Juan had met before and had a secret meeting with Luo Yecheng.
At this time, Song Wei and Hei Dan arrived at the Educated Youth Courtyard, and all the educated youths still in the courtyard looked at her.
Song Wei knew from the look in their eyes that they must know everything about the commotion in the Lin family today.
"Song Zhiqing is so generous. It's a watch. If it breaks, I won't let anyone pay for it and give it to others to eat and drink."
Xu Laidi couldn't help but speak out first, her tone and eyes were full of With jealousy.
If that watch belonged to her, she would definitely cherish it and protect it.
This Song Wei is probably not a fool. Not only did he not have to pay for the damage to his watch, but he also took over Heidan's child.
What is the difference between this and picking up a tow bottle? What kind of work can Heidan do at such a young age? That's a watch, costing more than one hundred and thirty yuan!
Xu Laidi felt so distressed that the watch belonged to her.
Song Wei glanced at Xu Laidi who was speaking, and carried her things to her room without paying any attention.
Heidan carried the firewood around to the backyard. After unloading the firewood, he quickly carried the basket on his back and rushed to Song Wei's room.
He wanted to see how the rabbit was doing.
Xu Laidi stamped her feet angrily: "What does she mean!"
Gao Le leaned against the doorframe while cracking melon seeds: "Isn't it obvious? Song Zhiqing doesn't want to talk to you."
Zhao Su is very grateful to Song Wei because of Song Wei's idea. , also helped to talk.
"That's right, isn't it just a watch? What all the fuss is about. That watch belongs to Song Zhiqing. What she wants to do with it is her business. What are you worrying about here?"
Xu Laidi didn't expect it. These two people would help Song Wei speak, which made her angry.
"I am also thinking about the educated youth of Song Dynasty. Don't bite Lu Dongbin because you don't know a good heart!"
Gao Le curled his lips: "It would be great if you didn't fight with Song Zhiqing, and you still thought about her. Only a ghost can believe it."
After eating the melon seeds, Gao Le and Zhao Su strolled to the backyard.
After returning from work before the change, they both collapsed on the kang and sighed after eating. But today they worked less and still got three work points, which makes them feel refreshed and have time to eat melon seeds. Let's play.
When they arrived in the backyard, Song Wei had already taken out the rabbit.
Seeing these two, she pointed at the pile of firewood that Hei Dan carried back.
"Hei Dan picked it up for you."
Gao Le gave Hei Dan a dime in a hurry.
After giving the money, they were still grinning and grinning: "We have five bundles of firewood today."
One bundle for Heidan, one bundle for a little girl from the village, and three others. The bundle was brought by a young man.
Because Hei Dan was with Song Wei, in addition to picking up firewood, he also helped pick up mushrooms, walnuts, and roasted rabbits. He didn't come back until it was almost dark, so he only picked up a bundle of firewood.
The little girl only picked up a bundle of firewood because the family valued boys over girls. She had to do a lot of work and would be scolded if she didn't go back for a long time.
But the little boy had no worries, he wanted to make money, so he worked hard to pick up three bundles of firewood, and he also got thirty cents today.
Although a bundle of firewood only costs 10 cents, Gao Le and Zhao Su spent almost 70 or 80 cents each day.
If you do this every day, you will get more than 20 yuan a month.
It’s slightly more than a month’s salary for part-time workers in the factory.
So except for these two wealthy young men who are not short of money, others can't afford it. After Gao Le and Zhao Su left, Song Wei and Hei Dan were busy taking out the walnuts and fungi and spreading them out. They would have to go out to dry them early tomorrow morning.
"You stay in the room by yourself. I'll go find Li Zhiqing to ask for something."
Heidan nodded obediently and spread all the fungi evenly with his hands. Open it, otherwise it will stink after being piled up all night.
His eyes looked into the backpack from time to time. There were six little rabbits in it. It was so rare to see him like that.
Song Wei went to find Li Juan carrying the dried pine nuts.
"Li Zhiqing, please help me stir-fry pine nuts and some mushroom sauce in a minute."
Li Juan is busy working on her three-quarter acre of land, and her movements are numb. His diligence is not bad compared to the women who often work in this village.
“Okay, I will help you fry them tonight.”
You need to use an iron pot to fry pine nuts. The Educated Youth Yard has a common iron pot in the front yard. You have to wait until other educated youths have used it. OK.
"Sorry to trouble you."
She was thinking about killing a rabbit and eating it with Li Zhiqing tomorrow.
After putting down the pine nuts, she went back to work. How to place the rabbits was a problem.
Rabbits can burrow, so they cannot be kept in captivity on the ground. You have to find a cage.
But it’s getting late now, so we’ll go tomorrow.
The three older ones continued to be tied up, and the six younger ones were put into the baskets to be raised first, and then put into the cages when the cages came.
Heidan actively made a nest for the little rabbits with hay, and then fed them with young grass leaves collected from the mountains.
Several little rabbits can eat grass. Watching their fluffy little mouths squirming and eating grass, Hei Dan feels extremely satisfied.
Of course he didn't forget the three big rabbits, but he had to feed the three big ones more casually and throw the grass in front of them to eat themselves.
“Hei Dan, come over and take a shower.”
Song Wei put the mixed water in the backyard and shouted into the house.
“Here we come.”
Black Egg reluctantly left the little rabbit and ran to the back with bare feet.
"Sister Song, I can wash it myself."
Heitan held his clothes and stood in front of the basin with a blushing face.
Song Wei stood up: "Okay, call me when you're done washing."
The little kid was even shy.
Song Wei went to find Li Juan when Hei Dan was taking a bath.
At the moment she is frying pine nuts.
“Just stir-fry and it’s done, right? I’ll do it and you control the heat.”
She is very strong and can stir-fry pine nuts easily.
Li Juan didn't argue with her and talked about Hei Dan while lighting the fire.
“You really want to raise Heidan, but you don’t even have enough food to eat.”
Although she sympathized with Heidan, raising a child with an extra mouth is not enough. Not an easy task.
Song Wei: "I am measured."
She was able to support herself in the wasteland when resources were so scarce. In the mountains when resources were plentiful, her previous life was in vain if she couldn't support herself and a little kid
Besides, Hei Dan is also working hard to support himself, so the pressure on her is not great.
