Hard times have room

Chapter 484
This time, Paulin just walked out and didn't think about anything else, it was useless to think about it, she was just adding to her troubles.

Walking to the back mountain in one breath, Paulin saw Dongmei at the entrance carrying a basket full of mushrooms down the mountain. This is the first time the two have met in two months!

Mainly because she stayed at school most of the time and was busy when she came back, and Dongmei couldn't get away from being entangled by the two children at home.

"Paulin, you're back." Wang Dongmei was still very happy to see Baolin, carrying a basket of mushrooms on her back, and hurried to Baolin's place, even if it was just to say a few words, they had not seen each other for a long time. met.

"Well, the school is on vacation, and I went back yesterday afternoon." Pauline also happily walked in the direction of Dongmei. They were reunited after a long absence!
"You should be able to stay at home for a long time this time, it's summer vacation." Wang Dongmei squatted down and put the backpack aside. This thing is quite heavy to carry.

"Yeah, school won't start until mid-August, so I can stay at home for about fifty days."

"What about you? Should you get your graduation certificate?" Pauline was still more concerned about this.

If she guessed correctly and the time is right, she should already have the graduation certificate. When she graduated from elementary school, she also completed the exam. After two days, she went directly to the school to get the graduation certificate. At this time, she graduated. The certificate is already in her hands.

The requirements for obtaining a graduation certificate are not strict, as long as there are no outrageous mistakes in the school, plus passing grades, you can get a graduation certificate.

Of course, those who have outrageous faults have been expelled from the school long ago, and they can't wait for this time.

However, there are not many people who get a diploma every year. From the first grade of primary school, the school still has three classes, and there are many students in the class, but one after another, some students left for various reasons. The school, gradually, three classes became two classes, and then one class. This class also changed from having too many students and needed to be stuffed with tables and chairs, and became very empty.

Pauline clearly remembered that when she graduated from primary school, there were only 25 students in that class including her. You must know that when she was in the first grade of primary school, there were at least 40 students in a classroom.

"Well, I got it, just five days ago, now I" thought of something, and Wang Dongmei swallowed the words that had reached her throat before.

Forget it, what are you talking about? Don't spoil the mood. Besides, what can Pauline do to help? This is a decision made by her family.

Although she is a little envious of reading, it is mainly because she sees that her friends from childhood are now in high school. She doesn't want to go to high school with Pauline, and it is impossible to experience high school life, but she herself is very interested in reading. There is not much enthusiasm for this matter, which is fully reflected in her grades, and she barely passed.

In a class of nearly 30 students, it is only a middle and lower level, but the threshold for junior high school is low. After obtaining a primary school diploma, those who want to continue their studies can sign up for junior high school.

"There are many mushrooms growing in the woods now. Paulin, when you enter the mountain, just lean in the direction of Biyue Lake. You can walk farther. There are many mushrooms in it. The villagers don't like to go there."

"Oh, by the way, if you are lucky, you can still find fungus there. I found a very large dead tree there the day before yesterday. I picked all of them, and there are more than half of them in the back basket. With a lot of pounds, the harvest is very good." Wang Dongmei smiled again and introduced the good place she found to Baolin.

The relationship between the two is so good, she is still happy to share these things. Besides, the forest is so big that she can't occupy it alone.

Now that Pauline has come back, she and Pauline will spend more time in the woods looking for things in the future. It's all the same.

"Well, I'll listen to you and go there."

"By the way, you won't come in a while. If you come, I can wait for you here. Now look for it near the entrance. As soon as you call, I will come out to find you."

What Dongmei didn't want to say, Baolin wouldn't want to make inquiries under the pretense of being good for her. In her opinion, it had crossed the line.

Although I can't ask, it's okay for two people to go pick up some mushrooms together. Anyway, there are many bugs in the forest now, and she is not as casual as before when she enters the forest. She was still very happy.

"This doesn't seem to be very good. The family members go to work and go to the mountains. The two little ones are still at home. When I was picking mushrooms on the mountain before, they were still sleeping. Now it's time to wake up. I have to stay at home. with them."

"Also, I have to start preparing my family's lunch. After all, I have a lot of family members, so cooking is quite difficult." Although Wang Dongmei was a little moved, she still rejected Pauline, but she was not free now.

It's getting harder to cook now. Before, it was sweet potatoes mixed with weeds, but now it's just wild vegetables mixed with mushrooms. Oh, and occasionally there are grasshoppers. It was dried out by the sun, and was carefully put away by her milk.

Recently, mushrooms are what her family eats the most. Although the taste is okay, washing mushrooms is really tiring. She usually sits for more than an hour.

The weather in the past few days is not very good, and the frequency of eating mushrooms has increased. Originally, the mushrooms were picked and returned to dry, and they were eaten later, but the weather is not good now. part of it will be eaten.

If the weather is still not good the next day and it doesn't look like it can be dried, it may be dried or eaten.

Of course, if the sky doesn't clear, you can't finish eating or baking, you can only grit your teeth and throw it away. After all, it's summer, and mushrooms can only be kept for a day at most, and the next day they will become moldy and corrupt, and they will be completely broken.

Eight days ago, the mushrooms, which had stopped for more than ten days, suddenly grew wildly. Not only the mushrooms but also the number of insects grew wildly. In just a few days, the crops grown in a large number of fields in the village were eaten by these insects. , the loss is unknown.

Fortunately, the rice planted in paddy fields and the beans and corn planted in dry land are harvested quickly. Otherwise, the idea of ​​grain in the village warehouse might not be able to be kept.

I don’t know how many catties of grain each person can share when dividing grains, so there must be dozens of catties!

"Well, I'll go alone!"

"Oh, you go, I'll find you in the afternoon."

After the two said goodbye to each other, they each took their belongings and walked past each other in a staggered manner, one went up the mountain with an empty basket, and the other went down the mountain with a full load.
