Traveling through time and space, wanting to lie down, but being forced to move forward

Seeing that Wang Xiulan had made arrangements, Liu Jingxue was satisfied, "Aunt, do you still have the ginseng I gave you last time?

If not, I will go into the mountains during this period and look for it.

Ginseng is produced in the Northeast, so you should be able to find it.

If you need any medicinal herbs, please tell me and I will go into the mountains to look for them."

“When I first started using ginseng, I made some chicken soup and also soaked some in water for drinking.

After everyone's condition improved a lot, I stopped using it, so there are still a lot left.

You can look for it later. It can be used to treat their hidden injuries in winter.

As for other medicinal herbs, if you find them in the mountains, just bring them back. They will always be useful.

But there is no need to go out of your way to do it, safety is the most important thing.”

"Don't worry, Auntie. I will be careful."

Remembering that Aunt Sufen would bring the autumn vegetables she had stored in a few days, Liu Jingxue hurriedly asked,

“Is there a cellar over here in the cowshed?

The autumn vegetables I exchanged with the villagers will be delivered in a few days. Will there be a place to store them?"

Zou Lao replied, “Don’t worry about that.

This place was used to raise cattle, and the cattle had to eat grass in the winter, so the cellar was ready and quite large.”

Liu Jingxue remembered that she had prepared to store more meat in the cowshed after the heavy snow blocked the road, so she said,

“After the snow falls, I plan to get some big game and eat some delicious meat.

Should we build a small cellar in a secret place for storage?”

Zou Lao waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary.

In the winter in Northeast China, the outdoors is a natural freezer. If you throw something in the snow, it will freeze in no time.

It is better to throw it outside than to put it in the cellar.

When the time comes, cut it into small pieces, find a secluded corner and throw it there, bury it in the snow, and no one will find it. "

"The weather will be so cold by then, no one will come to the bullpen to cause trouble, it's very safe.

We can also live a comfortable life for a few months in peace and stability."

Liu Jingxue remembered that her aunt had to make so many cotton-padded clothes, but she had no time to do it because she was at work these days.

She hurriedly said, "Aunt, you have been working every day recently and have no time to make cotton clothes.

The weather is going to get cold soon, why don’t I find someone to help make it and say I’m sending it to my brother and his family.”

The aunt shook her head, "No need.

There is not much work to do in the fields now. We don’t have to go to work so early in the morning. We can come back to rest at noon and finish work early in the afternoon.

I have time to make clothes.

Just a few outfits, I can finish them in no time."

"Then I will cook for you so you can concentrate on making clothes."

Zou Lao hurriedly shook his head and refused, "Don't worry about cooking. Your aunt has to make clothes, and there are three of us.

Your uncle and I both know how to cook, but Old Man Wu can't, so just let him help."

Mr. Zou advised, "You should come here less often in the future.

There weren’t many people here before because everyone was busy with the autumn harvest and no one went up the mountain.

The road leading up the mountain from here is considered the main road. During the off-season, many people go up and down the mountain from here.

Now that the autumn harvest is over, everyone is going up the mountain to chop firewood and collect mountain products. Our area is about to become bustling.”

When the uncle heard this, he quickly said to Liu Jingxue, "Xiaoxue, from now on, don't come here during the day unless it's at night.

You have prepared almost everything on our side. We can handle the rest ourselves, so don’t worry, just take care of yourself.”

Liu Jingxue thought about it and realized that they didn’t lack much, except that they needed to prepare more food for them.

"I'll go to town tomorrow to pick up the package and bring you some more food, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.

I have already ordered the quilt from someone and will deliver it to you later.

If you need anything else, tell me and I will get it for you."

“Okay, if you need anything, we won’t hesitate to tell you.

Don't come here unless necessary.

In winter, the mountains are covered with snow and villagers won’t come here. Then we can have more exchanges.” said Mr. Zou.

Wang Xiulan had already prepared the food, put away the other things Liu Jingxue brought, and put the vegetables in the kitchen.

"Xiaoxue, please have dinner with us," Wang Xiulan invited.

Thinking about the feast prepared specially for her, Liu Jingxue shook her head and said, "Aunt, I have already reserved some food for you. I will go back and eat it later."

"Then go back and eat quickly, or the food will get cold."

Liu Jingxue nodded, "Okay, I'll go back first then."

Liu Weihua sent Liu Jingxue out and said earnestly,

"Xiaoxue, the villagers sent you so many things, which shows that they are grateful people.

When you interact with them in the future, try not to let them suffer any loss.

After all, we are on someone else's territory, so it is better not to make enemies with the villagers."

"Don't worry, uncle. I understand and will establish good relations with the villagers."

Worried that Liu Jingxue would be bullied if she kept giving in, Liu Weihua quickly added,

“But you can’t just try to please them and put yourself in a difficult position.

You have to find the right balance.”

“Don’t worry, uncle. The villagers all know how strong I am and that I’m not easy to bear. They won’t bully me easily.

If anyone dares to bully me, I will teach him a lesson and make an example of him.

As for building good relationships with the villagers, after what happened today, I think it would be better to start with the children in the village.

Except for a few weirdos in this world, everyone loves their own children.

If I can build a good relationship with the children and have them speak well of me in front of the elders, I think the villagers will never bully me again."

Liu Weihua also agreed, "Your idea of ​​starting with children is a good one.

After all, you are a little girl, so it’s not right for you to get too close to aunts, uncles, and older brothers.

At your age, you are just an older child, and it wouldn’t be out of place for you to mingle with kids.”

Liu Jingxue told her uncle about the suggestion she had made to the team leader to ask the educated youth to help the villagers sell vegetables.

Liu Weihua thought about it and said, "With the relationship between the captain and the old leader, if this matter succeeds, he will definitely not hide your contribution.

The villagers have benefited from this incident, and they are naturally grateful to you for coming up with this idea.

Even if this fails, the villagers will not suffer any loss, their extra vegetables will just continue to be wasted as in previous years.

The villagers will not blame you for making this suggestion."

“But I think this is likely to succeed.

After all, there is a shortage of vegetables in the Northeast in winter, and if someone comes to sell them, the factory leaders will not push them away.

Even if the cafeteria doesn’t use it, the employees in our own factory can use it.”

"Those educated youth all came from the city, and they know all these things. If something is impossible, they won't take it on."

Liu Weihua looked at his niece with admiration and couldn't help wondering why she was not a boy.

Otherwise, with her abilities and intelligence, her achievements would far surpass those of her two foolish sons.

Liu Weihua touched Liu Jingxue's head and said, "Your suggestion is very good.

You have a quick mind. In the future, you might as well think more about how to increase the income of the villagers.

You propose the solution, you don't have to do it yourself.

Those who work with their minds rule others, and those who work with their hands are ruled by others. All you have to do is be good at using people."

After receiving the affirmation from her uncle, Liu Jingxue felt relieved, "Uncle, I understand.

Please go in and have your meal. I will go back first."
