Hard times have room

Chapter 598
The group sat awkwardly for a while, until the go-to-work bell rang, and they reluctantly left.

To say that the most embarrassing one is Xu Qing. She has a lot to ask and want to explore. The old lady also has high hopes for her. Before coming, she specially told her to ask her more clearly. Unfortunately, her knowledge is limited, and many things are obvious. It's all in the throat, but I can't say it.

In her whole life, she followed in the footsteps of her own mother when she was a child, and worked peacefully as a little village girl in Shanghe Village. When she was old, she was arranged by her parents to marry into the Wang family and Wang Jianjun.

In this life, I have never read or read, never traveled far, and never saw the world. Even if there are many clever people, it is limited to this little Shanghe Village. What a countertop.

She has been dealing with the aunts and aunts in the village all her life, and she has become accustomed to the way of life of the women in Shanghe Village. All obliterated.

Paulin didn't go out, and stayed at home to read and rest. Of course, this was on the surface. She was actually guarding her sweet potato seedlings, so as not to be secretly damaged or stolen by others.

Now this thing is very rare, only her family has planted it in the village, and it is impossible to guarantee that no one will make such a crooked idea.

Paulin guessed that she couldn't get away within half a month. Even if she could walk, she would still be around her house, walking around with a backpack. That is to say, there were not many people on their side, and there weren't many wild vegetables, so, No one likes it here. Pauline took a back basket and a shovel and went out for a walk, and she could still gain something.

When she gets off work, she can go farther with her father or her mother to dig wild vegetables. Although this is a lot of trouble, the family of three can still get back the wild vegetables that the family of three eats every day. This is mainly because it is spring now. , This wild vegetable grows very fast, as long as you work hard, it is no problem to find some wild vegetables to go back to fill your stomach.

More than ten days have passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, in the first few days, Pauline could still see people who came to her house to "visit" from time to time, but after that, there were fewer.

According to her mother, several households in the village have also planted sweet potato seedlings, including the captain's family and the party secretary's family. As for whether the sweet potato seedlings in the village have been lost, then "I don't know".

Some things can't be said. These two families are powerful. Even if everyone knows about some things, they can't do anything about them. They don't even dare to say it, for fear of being spread to these two. In the ears of the family, small shoes were later worn.

In addition to these two families, there are seven other families who have already planted sweet potato seedlings in their vegetable gardens.

These are all planted with sweet potato seedlings, and some people think that the sweet potato seedlings are too expensive or have no way. kind.

Although the time is slower, it is much faster than cutting the sweet potato vines after waiting for the sweet potato seedlings in the village to grow. In addition, there is no need to spend any money, just a waste of manpower and material resources. Therefore, many people in the village choose this one. The way, including the old Wang family.

The old lady gritted her teeth and took out half of the hidden sweet potatoes from her cellar and buried them in her yard to raise seedlings. She couldn't bear the money. It was too expensive. , their family are all frugal, and if anyone dares to be dissatisfied at all, they can gag their mouths with a single word of money.

After many people were busy, Baolin's life became much more stable and returned to its former calm. No one came to visit her neighborhood for a few days.

Paulin also resumed her usual busyness, going out to dig wild vegetables and pick up firewood, and she was very busy.

In the countryside, wild vegetables and firewood are the most consumed, and they are essential every day. Whenever they have time, they go to the mountains and fields to pick up some of them.

The days passed so peacefully, until Pauline went to the school to take the final exam. The rain didn't come down. Now the wild plants in the field are not growing as vigorously as before. After being cut, the growth is obviously not as good as before. Soon, the people in the village are now looking for wild vegetables in a wider range, and they often walk for several miles.

When Paulin went to the school to take the mid-term exam, she brought Teacher Jiang some of their souvenirs, namely bamboo shoots, and she brought most of the backpacks.

This year's bamboo shoots grow a lot later than in previous years, so I won't talk about it later, it doesn't matter, it is always necessary to eat early and late, but they still grow less, not 1/10 of those in previous years. The impact of this year's rain.

However, this year, the bamboo shoots didn't grow much, and it didn't affect Paulin very much. If she hadn't carried too many bamboo shoots, she wouldn't be able to carry it, she would still want to carry a whole basket!
Although this year's bamboo shoots are not growing much, there are many bamboo shoots that have been stripped of their coats in her space. She doesn't worry about eating at home, and she also took the opportunity to burn some to dry you!Therefore, she can take so many bamboo shoots to school.

This year's rain is lacking, and the bamboo shoots that were not good in previous years have to walk a long distance this year to see a small one pop up. These small bamboo shoots that were dismissed in previous years have also been dug up early.

The half-carried bamboo shoots behind her are what their family of three harvested in one morning. It is conceivable that this year's bamboo shoots are so few.

Paulin stayed at the school for three days in total. The day after the exam, Paulin left and went home. At this time, it was better to stay at home in the village.

The number of students in the school is getting smaller and smaller. Pauline counted in the classroom. There are only 25 people in class, and the number of people who go to school to take midterm exams is only 32 people. It is much less than before. Many people used to be very The familiar face is gone, and I don't know if she will have a chance to see it again when she graduates.

Of course, she was so emotional, she couldn't even name many people, let alone others, just a little sigh.

I don't know how long this day will last!

Back home, Pauline lived a very fulfilling day. In the morning, she went to dig bamboo shoots and bracken with her parents. She didn't go home until half noon with a tired face.

Morning is the most rewarding time of the day, so many people will not miss it, even if they are struggling not to work at noon.

One or two of these can be cured, but the vast majority of people choose to do so. The cadres in the village cannot go against the general trend, so they can only let it go.
