Reborn 1960 Sweet Wife

Chapter 14 The Preciousness of Food

"Daddy, I went to the mountain with Sister Yangmei to find these today. We found sixteen of them, and we each had eight."

Song Yongren was relieved now that when he was starving, the villagers had walked all over those mountains, and there was no major danger inside.

Feeling at ease, he was only happy, Song Yongren generously took out a wild egg and made a pot of egg drop soup, with pancakes made of pure wild vegetables, it was pretty good.

But Song Lili still couldn't swallow it, if it wasn't for the sake of living, she wouldn't touch a mouthful of these foods.

But she couldn't tell if she boiled all those eggs, and now the food is too precious, she can't be selfish.

Maybe when she first came here, she might be able to tell. After all, these three people are not her relatives, so she can ignore their feelings.

But... It's been almost two months, she still remembers how kind they were to her, and she doesn't allow her to be so selfish.

She could only grit her teeth and eat, telling herself once again that only by being patient can she survive.

Soon, it was the autumn harvest. During this period of time, Song Lili went to the cliff twice, both of which were followed by Zhang Qinghua.

Song Lili moved some things that looked like old things she found at home into the cave, and also took away the unused things from Yangmei's house, saying that she would return them later.

Not only that, he also asked Zhang Qinghua to bring his own, and urged him to bring Li Qinghua's as well.

Zhang Qinghua didn't know why, so he thought Song Lili liked it, so he actually searched Li Qinghua's house, but there were not many of them.

As for the books in his home, except for the old textbooks, pick out some that Zhang Qingguo can use, and the rest are here.

And during this period of time, Zhang Qinghua also taught Song Lili some characters in junior high school. Seeing her learning speed, he was really surprised.

Song Lili was a little guilty, she knew them all, but she couldn't show them blatantly.

Now not only had to endure this childish behavior, but also pretended not to let Zhang Qinghua see it, she was also very tired.

Although the process was not beautiful, the result is quite gratifying. Song Lili can now read the knowledge of junior high school by herself.

She already had a foundation, and with Zhang Qinghua's "strengthening", she could read books blatantly.

And she spends most of her time reading the books that Zhang Qinghua brought over. She is really not interested in those elementary and junior high school textbooks.

Life is also very boring, and I can only pass the time by reading books.

There is no entertainment at all, and she can only live by gossip, but Song Lili doesn't like to gossip about her parents and her family. In the end, reading has become the best way.

Soon, Qiu received it.

Autumn harvest is not as leisurely as harvesting highland barley. Everyone is going all out, competing with God for time.

During this period, the most feared thing is rain, and it rains continuously for several days, so that the unharvested crops will fall because they are too ripe, and the harvested crops will become moldy and sprout due to the weather.

Therefore, in the past few days, as long as they can harvest wheat, both children and adults must take action. Things like picking up tassels are done by children under ten years old.

This is hard work for Song Lili. She hasn't done it for a long time, and her movements are a lot rusty. Fortunately, she has great strength and can make up for it.

As for the autumn harvest, everyone does not pile up together, but each brigade harvests its own wheat first, fearing that some of them will be too ripe and fall to the ground.

This is also called rush harvest, and it is the busiest time for farmers.

Because this time it was based on the brigade, the time between Song Lili and Yang Mei suddenly increased a lot.

The captain of the Fifth Brigade was Yang Mei's father, Yang Weimin, so they arranged for the children to stay together and help each other.

Because of the relationship between Song Lili and Yang Mei, the two families have become much closer.

Although Song Lili was physically tired during this period of time, she was in a good mood.Everyday is sunny.

She asked Yang Mei, "Sister Yang Mei, do you have someone you like? You are also 15 years old, and you are about to marry someone?"

This is just like what Song Lili thought, all the girls are married at sixteen or seventeen, which is already considered very big.

What's more, the old thinking of thousands of years, patriarchal, think that girls are a waste of food at home, and they are raised by other people's families. Therefore, many people marry girls very early.

"No..." Yang Mei's voice was low, and she could feel a little bit of sweetness when she listened carefully, but Song Lili's nerves in this aspect were relatively rough, and she didn't hear it.

"No? Don't you like Li Qinghua?" Song Lili asked out her doubts when she got excited.

"You... how...how did you know?" Yang Mei's entire face was flushed, even her ears and neck were about to burst into red.

Song Lili grasped the essence of Yang Mei's words very keenly, "You mean you like Li Qinghua?" Her eyes were fixed on Yang Mei.

If you look carefully, there seems to be some expectation in those eyes, some eager curiosity.

Yang Mei thought that Song Lili already knew something, so she was so ashamed that she didn't know what to say. At this time, people are still very reserved, and dare not blatantly say that they like her.

But in this remote northwestern region, it is even more conservative, and it is basically the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker.

When you have someone you like, you will secretly keep it in your heart. Boys can also ask their family to find a matchmaker. Girls can only rely on boys.

Therefore, Yang Mei was surprised by Song Lili's outspoken statement of her liking, but what she said later made her lose her sense of control.

Now that Song Lili asked, she didn't know what to say, so she could only nah, but she gave Song Lili an affirmative answer.

Song Lili was so happy, she took Yang Mei and threw away the sickle, hugged her, and shouted excitedly, "Great, haha, great."

She was still thinking about matching the two, but she didn't expect this one to be successful, but thinking of what "Li Qinghua" said the other day that she didn't like Yang Mei, Song Lili said that in the future, she must create more opportunities for the two of them to get along.

Yang Mei was made even more embarrassed by Song Lili, she pushed Song Lili away, took a sickle, and bent down to cut the wheat without saying a word.

Song Lili was still very happy, as if something she had been thinking about for a long time had finally come to fruition.

She couldn't help but said to Yang Mei, "I think Li Qinghua is pretty good. Although he has his own shortcomings, the others are still pretty good."

After getting along with each other for so many days, Song Lili also discovered a shortcoming of "Li Qinghua", that is, she doesn't talk much, has very little expression, and everything else is fine.

Yang Mei really doesn't want to be with Song Lili now, because Song Lili was jumping and screaming just now, so many people watched her, and she can't move now if she wants to leave.

He could only pretend that he didn't hear anything, and continued with the movements under his hands, even speeding up, just to get away from Song Lili far away.

Song Lili didn't care about these things, she was in a good mood, couldn't help humming, and immediately went to find "Li Qinghua" after work.

Zhang Qinghua was surprised that Song Lili would come to him, but he thought it might be Song Lili who was going to the cliff.

But looking at Song Lili's bright eyes and bulging cheeks, it doesn't look like her. This girl seems very happy today.

"Let me tell you, Sister Yangmei said she likes you today, how is it? Are you happy? Do you like Sister Yangmei a little bit?" Song Lili is like a proud cat, waiting for her master's response. caress.

Zhang Qinghua's eyes deepened, "Did Yang Mei tell you that she likes Li Qinghua?"

"Yes, yes, I asked her if she liked Li Qinghua, and she admitted it, so of course she likes you."

Zhang Qinghua frowned, and wanted her not to say that Yang Mei liked him, but thinking that Song Lili had identified the wrong person, he didn't care.

"Then you must work hard! Fall in love with Sister Yangmei as soon as possible, then you can be together."

In Song Lili's heart, she always thought that it was only a matter of time before Yang Mei and Li Qinghua would be together, but she never thought about what would happen if Li Qinghua didn't like Yang Mei.

So, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with saying such coercive words now, and it gave Zhang Qinghua a headache. Is this girl stupid?Or stupid?

Zhang Qinghua said blankly, "I don't like her." Besides, she belongs to someone else, and I have no interest in robbing others.

Song Lili was anxious, "Oh, why are you so stubborn? Sister Yangmei is so good." She was a little angry. Sister Yangmei is such a good girl, why doesn't this person know how to cherish and seize the opportunity?

Zhang Qinghua moved his fingers and kicked the wall in front of him. Seeing Song Lili's anger, he said in a muffled voice, "Didn't you say that if you get along with each other more, you will like it?"

Song Lili was still angry, but she also listened to what Zhang Qinghua said, well, in this case, let them meet more, and then she can retire.

"I'm leaving," Song Lili made up her mind, turned around and left.Hmph, ignore this person, elm lump.

This delay lasted more than 20 days. The people in Hongqi Village managed to collect all the wheat, and there was no continuous rainy day. It was a happy thing for everyone.

All the wheat was taken back, piled up on the stage, and all dried up. We only needed to thresh to complete the task, pay the public grain, and then distribute the grain.

Every household is looking forward to the day of food distribution. Many families have been out of food for half a month, a month ago, and they are all supported by wild vegetables.

Song Lili's family is similar. Two people support four people. They are already very tight and can only drink some batter every day.

Threshing is also a very troublesome time, there is no machine, it is all by manpower, and the wheat grains are separated by pure force.

This is where men and women come together to spread all the wheat on the flat ground, beat it down with tools, and then turn it over and beat the other side.

Animals are also used to pull the stone rollers, which is faster and easier than human beating.

Hongqi Village is also considered a large village. There is an old scalper and a stallion in the whole village, so there are two choices.
