Hard times have room

Chapter 558

The next day, some people didn't believe what Wang Jiandang said, they went to the county seat and arrived at the acquisition point.

And it also brought back bad news. The acquisition point has been busy, packing things, and may have to move. It will not be there in the future, and I will not be able to find it if I go there.

This news has completely extinguished the last shreds of enthusiasm among the villagers. Within a few days, many people put down their hoes one after another and went back to the back mountain and Daqingling.

After all, the grasshopper is so good, you can see it and touch it. After a busy day, how can you come back with half a bag and store some food at home? A little more than a pound or two is not enough to eat by myself.

Now is not the time when Wang Jiandang and Su Hongying dug exclusively. The slightly better, fertile and loach-rich land has been dug by Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang. That harvest is naturally not as good as what they had before.

Although some people are still continuing, they firmly believe that this thing can be sold for money, thinking, while others don't care, they will dig it first, and when the time comes, it will be themselves who will send it.

These people are in the minority, and at the same time, they did not persist for long. After all, people have to eat, especially the heavy physical work of digging. The digging has not eaten a lot. Which parent does not stop, think about it? Continue, persevere, starve for a meal or two, and everything stops.

Two weeks later, this lively event ended very quickly without causing any waves.

Although there are many rumors that Wang Jiandang's family made a lot of money and made a lot of money on this, but few people believe it. After all, there is no evidence. It's just a heated discussion with the companions, it belongs to the type of having nothing to say, looking for something to talk about.

Now the villagers are busy catching grasshoppers. They are so busy that they have no time at all.

It's already late autumn. After the grasshopper lays eggs, it will die. The grasshopper won't be caught for a few days, but it's time to go out at dawn, and the sunset will be full of rewards.

After another five days, it was difficult to find grasshoppers in the ground. Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang went to the ground again to dig for loach. After all, there is really no other work to do except this. Most of the grasshoppers died, and they were gone. In order to avoid being unable to get in and out, the two resumed their old business.

It's not just the two of them, there are other people too, who think the loach tastes okay, they all put on their hoes and go to the fields.

In addition to digging loach, there are also fish fishing, and those who go to the mountains to find wild goods such as yam. In short, they are all trying to find something to eat at home, oh, yes, and firewood for winter, this is also Very important, life is no easier than before.

Baolin and her family of three took advantage of the last time to save more than 20 catties of dried grasshoppers at home. This is already the result of their hard work.

Now that field, at first glance, it is almost a whole piece of yellow, and there is nothing left.

However, there is one thing that is growing right now. That's right, it is wild onion, also called shallot.

It's just that it hasn't rained for more than two months, so, except for the lush green onions near the water, the ones in other places are very short and small, and even a small earthworm can't compare them. This species is actually a little small, and it belongs to the kind that ran out to work before they grew up.

This thing is fried with chopped peppers and eggs. The taste is amazing, but Baolin's family doesn't raise chickens, let alone eggs, so they are all fried directly with peppers. The taste is also very good, and it is super delicious.

In addition to eating, Paulin also marinated a jar full of wild onions, and used the pickled cabbage jar that was cleaned after eating.

Some time ago, because I often ate loach, the sauerkraut at home was used very quickly. All the sauerkraut in one jar was eaten, and half of the other jar was eaten.

On the second day of the frost, Bao Lin was sent by Wang Jiandang to the car in Hongxing Town. The two of them brought a lot of things with them. They walked all the way here, but they were exhausted.

Originally, Wang Jiandang wanted to send Baolin to school, but she refused. There were a lot of things at home. Her father went to the county town to help her carry some things. It was too troublesome.

After she arrives, she can put things in the guard room first, and then she will move to the dormitory one after another, there is no need for her father to follow her again.

About going to school, Paulin discussed with her parents half a month in advance, and the two were quickly persuaded by her.

But in fact, Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang agreed with both hands and feet for Bao Lin to go to school. After all, how could a teenage child's self-study scores be better than those obtained under the guidance of school teachers. 's results.

The two of them were very afraid that Pauline's study would be delayed because she didn't go to school. Now that Paulin offered to go to school to study for a month, it was too late for the two of them to be happy!

This time, when Pauline went to school, she brought a lot of things, mainly quilts and clothes.

You know, it's going to snow in winter now. Although, it hasn't snowed yet, but it's coming soon. Maybe one day you'll find that it's snow-white outside. Therefore, these cotton coats, cotton pants and cotton shoes must be have to carry.

There are also quilts, which must be thick. She slept alone in the dormitory. There should be no one in the whole dormitory who would like to be her companion and cover the quilt with her.

These things, all added up, can't fit in a sack.

In addition to these things, the books she brought home before, as well as the food, sauerkraut, peppers, and wild onions that she brought to school all took up a lot of space.

Anyway, I don't know if I don't clean it up. Once I clean it up, I have a lot of things.

It was squeezed hard, and finally, two sacks were used to pack everything, including her schoolbag, into the sacks.

Although the two sacks didn't sound like much, the weight of each one was a bit unbearable for her. She had to hold it for a while and rest for a while before she could continue to move forward. When she went to town, she was basically carried by her father. Yes, she was the one walking beside her with soy sauce.

She felt that one sack was enough for her to be tired. Now there are two, and when the time comes, some will be busy.

In Pauline's various thoughts, the car set off.

Driving slowly all the way to the county seat, at the entrance of the department store, Paulin got out of the car.

Just bringing things to the security room at the entrance of No. [-] Middle School wasted her old efforts.

After asking the doorman to look after him, Pauline moved to the dormitory building with the heaviest sack.
