Quickly wear a life of peace

Xuanyunduo was quite experienced in hunting. He and He Fangfang caught a silly roe deer and a wild rabbit that came to their doorstep.

As it was getting dark, the two men were no longer greedy and thought that what they had gained was good enough, so they went down the mountain happily.

Along the way, he picked up some thin firewood and covered the basket with it to hide the wild animals in it.

When the two returned to the Youth League Home, all the educated youth had already returned.

However, ever since the two of them got back on their bicycles, their relationship with the other educated youth has become a little subtle, and now it is only peaceful on the surface.

But Xuanyunduo didn't care. Life in the countryside was too tiring and she didn't want to let herself down.

However, she would not argue too much with others. She asked He Fangfang to take out the wild rabbit to cook, and she took the roe deer to the county town.

During the villagers' conversation, Xuanyunduo analyzed that the black market was located in a forest outside the county town, and the management was not strict, and many people knew about it.

It’s just that the opening hours are always at night, so they have never encountered it before.

This time she planned to go over and take a look. If she was wrong, she would go to the factory’s staff building to check.

It just so happened that she also wanted to build relationships with people in various factories so that she could get timely information if there were recruitment opportunities in the future.

However, when Xuanyunduo was about to reach the woods, he saw from a distance some people carrying baskets going in and out, and they looked very upright indeed.

As soon as Xuanyunduo entered the forest, an old lady came up and stopped her. "You look unfamiliar, sister? Is this your first time here? We have a rule here that you have to pay 20 cents to enter, did you know that?"

Xuanyunduo nodded without saying anything, took out two cents and gave it to the lady, who let her in.

After Xuanyunduo walked about twenty meters, the road ahead suddenly opened up.

It turned out that behind the woods was a small river less than five meters wide, and the stall owners were lined up along the bank of the river.

No wonder they are not afraid of investigation. Unless a large number of manpower is mobilized, it is really not easy to catch them.

These people are all local bosses with extensive connections. If there is any big move, they will receive the news early.

Xuanyunduo walked around, looked at the items being traded here and the prices, and got a general idea of ​​the situation.

I found a place to park my bike and opened the lid of the backpack a little.

Someone immediately came forward and asked, "Big sister, what do you have here? Do you have any fine grains?"

Xuanyun nodded, "Two catties of flour, five catties of rice, half a catty of brown sugar, and a roe deer."

The man's eyes lit up, "Yes, I want them all."

So Xuanyunduo quickly traded the things, and even the backpack was taken away by this man.

After selling all his things, Xuanyuduo took another look around, but when he didn’t find anything that interested him, he left.

After waiting until there was no one around, he took out a thermos, a stove and an aluminum kettle for boiling water from the space.

After thinking about it, I took out a small iron pot, so that it would be convenient for me to cook a small meal. In winter, I could also have a hot pot to eat.

When she returned to the Youth League Home, everyone looked at her with awe when they saw that she had brought back so many things.

Everyone was completely impressed by her generosity. Although they were envious and jealous, they could do nothing about it as they did not have the financial resources.

The female educated youth were quite happy. They thought that since the things were there, they could also benefit from it. Those two people were not stingy.

Apart from anything else, it will be convenient to drink some hot water in the future.

The next day, Xuanyunduo was assigned to harvest soybeans, so she got up early, sharpened her sickle, took her water bottle and went to the field.

Because some beans were ripe and would pop out when touched, some children aged five or six appeared in the field this time.

The adults were harvesting beans in front, and the children would pick up the beans that fell on the ground. They could earn two or three work points a day.

Autumn harvest is very tiring and now it mainly relies on manual labor, so it took them a full half month to harvest all the crops in the fields.

And they work day and night, nearly 20 hours a day.

After the autumn harvest was finally over, Xuanyunduo felt that he could not hold on any longer.

This was because, during the autumn harvest, the brigade’s canteen opened again, and the brigade leader even organized people to go up the mountain and hunt two wild boars.

Thanks to the subsidies, the members of the team did not give up.

After the autumn harvest, all that’s left is drying the crops and paying the tax revenue.

There was not much to do, and the team leader allowed the educated youth not to participate in the subsequent labor. Of course, if they wanted to earn work points, they could continue to work.

But during the half month of autumn harvest, even the team members who were doing farm work couldn't stand it, let alone the educated youth from the city.

So the educated youth all chose to rest.

Xuanyunduo also took two days of good rest before he recovered.

After the public grain is paid in a few days, the fields will start to plant autumn cabbage, and there will be a busy period of time.

Xuanyunduo and the others should take advantage of this time to tidy up their vegetable garden and plant cabbage, otherwise they might have nothing to eat in winter.

Fortunately, the vegetable garden was not big, and nine people finished it in just two days.

At this time, all kinds of fruits on the mountain are ripe. These fruits can not only be eaten as snacks, but some can also be eaten as staple food.

After some discussion, everyone went up the mountain together to pick fruits and collect firewood for the winter.

During this period, the educated youth also truly witnessed the hard work of the villagers.

Not only do they work during the week, but they also go up the mountain to look for nuts such as chestnuts, hazelnuts and pine nuts after work. Children aged five or six and above also go up the mountain to buy all kinds of delicious food.

The educated youth naturally could not pick as much as the native villagers, but fortunately the abundant resources here allowed them to also have a good harvest.

When they got good things, the educated youth sent some back home.

He Fangfang and Xuanyunduo also sent a few kilograms of food home.

Xuanyuduo even sent some to Xu Hongmei who was far away in Xishuangbanna.

Because she had received a letter from home before, Xu Hongmei wrote back home and sent a lot of dried mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots and various dried fruits.

He also mentioned himself in the letter, saying that he had been treated unfairly in the past and wanted to make up for it. He also asked his family to send him some dried fruits.

No matter what her reason was for doing this, she was actually sending something to herself.

So Xuanyunduo also sent her some local specialties as a return gift.

After the cabbages were planted, the team began to distribute grain.

The harvest this year was good, and the educated youth with the least work points each received nearly 300 kilograms of grain, of course, most of it coarse grains.

At this time, six educated youths, four girls and two boys, were assigned to the brigade, which made the brigade lively again.

After all, these people only arrive after the autumn harvest, and there is no way they can be given any food. So how are they supposed to survive the several months in winter?

The amount of food in the team was also limited, and fortunately the government subsidy arrived in time, so no trouble was caused.
