Quick Wear: Passerby A's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons

After the meal, the three of them came back to life and talked about interesting things at home. Xiaohu listened with great interest. After the chat, the three of them wanted to wash the dishes, but Jiang Yue stopped them and told them to rest early after working as a driver for a few days. She could handle these things herself.

After packing up, Xiaohu was ready to say goodbye. He was a sensible child, but he was stuffed with a bunch of things before leaving. Some of the things the three brought were given to him. Mainly, Xiaohu's family did the same. If there was anything delicious or new, they would give them some.

It was getting late, and they were in no rush to pack. They decided to wait until they woke up tomorrow to pack. After sending Xiaohu away, they closed the door and went back to sleep. When Jiang Yue woke up the next day, they were still asleep. Jiang Yue got dressed, boiled some water, and heated up the kang.

After taking care of her personal hygiene, Jiang Yue thought about what to eat today. She decided to have porridge early in the morning. There happened to be some frozen sticky rice dumplings left. After Jiang Yue finished cooking, the three of them woke up. After the pickles were mixed, they cleaned up. While eating, Jiang Yue was flattered by several people and felt very comfortable.

"That's what's going on. Did you put honey on your lips when you went home for the New Year?"

"Hehe, isn't this a bother for our Xiaoyue?"

After the meal, the three of them went to wash the dishes and eat some local specialties. Then Yao Ling took Jiang Yue to try on clothes. Jiang Yue in this life has a sweet look. She was a little thin when she first went to the countryside, but she grew up after going there. It must be said that Yao Ling has a good vision and aesthetics. The clothes look good on Jiang Yue, but it's a pity that she can't wear them in winter. They would be perfect for autumn.

After dinner, the two boys ran out to play. Yao Ling boiled water and took a bath. While watching over her, Jiang Yue found some dried radishes and planned to pickle some to eat. After Yao Ling finished her bath, Jiang Yue's dried radishes were also ready. She helped to pour out the bath water. There was no other way. The weather was cold and people who had just taken a bath could not go out.

The water had been kept in the room, making it cold. After putting the bathtub in place, Jiang Yue placed a charcoal basin on the kang. This charcoal basin was for Yao Ling to dry her hair. It was so troublesome to take a bath now. It would be even more troublesome to catch a cold if you were not well prepared.

"Thank you for your help, Xiaoyue. You are so nice to me. If I were a man, I would definitely marry you!"

Jiang Yue rolled her eyes. You want to marry me, so you want to marry me? "Stop joking. Let's bake your hair. The temperature has dropped again. I think it's going to snow again today."

Just in case, Jiang Yue quietly took out a small warm stone, found a gap and placed it near Yao Ling. There was not even a doctor in the village now. If you really get sick, you have to rely on the medicines at home. If the situation is serious, you have to send the patient to the commune, and then send him up there. In this weather, a minor illness can turn into a major one.

While pouring the water, Jiang Yue took out some small warm stones to decorate the house. This winter seems to be particularly cold, so it is better to take precautions.

Otherwise, if the revolutionary comrades, who are all very familiar with each other, really fall ill, Jiang Yue will definitely not stand idly by. At that time, she cannot use her image as a miracle doctor, and she might even waste medicine. It is better to prevent it from the beginning.

After arranging the warm stones, the temperature in the house rose by about 7 or 8 degrees. This temperature is not particularly noticeable to the human body. If the temperature drops further, just adjust the size of the warm stones.

After finishing the work, Jiang Yue brought the hot water to Yao Ling. Wang Liang and Zhang Wei, who had gone out to play, also came back. After entering the room, they closed the door as soon as possible, otherwise one of them might freeze to death.

"Our straw door curtains are not very good. Let's see if we can replace them with cotton ones next year."

"There's no rush for the door curtains. Why don't we install the glass first? The windows blow wind into the house every day at night, and I've woken up from the cold several times."

"Glass is so expensive. Besides, you can't buy it even if you have money."

"Okay, next time I'll go to the commune and buy some plastic sheets and seal the windows."

"Plastic sheeting? How do you seal the windows with this?"

"Leave this to me. You just need to buy the things. By the way, go see if you can buy some cloth. Use the cloth to make a door curtain and add some sedge grass inside. The two layers of door curtains should be much warmer. If there are more cloth, you can also add curtains for the two doors inside, which will make it much warmer."

"It's a pity that we don't know anyone inside the textile factory, otherwise we could get some defective cloth, which would look much better than piecing together the pieces of cloth."

"Hey, speaking of this, I remember a guy who used to play with Wang Liang and Zhang Wei. His wife works in a textile factory, right?"

"Who are you talking about?"

"That tall, thin guy in a white shirt. We met him when we went home a few years ago. I think his last name is Jiang, right?"

"Oh, him, it seems like that, but we are not familiar with him, we just said a few words to him."

"Is that so? Never mind. I thought you guys had a good relationship."

"Why don't we give it a try? What if they agree?"

"Forget it, let's just find some scraps of cloth. It's not worth owing someone a favor just to look good."

.....

After chatting for a while, it was time for dinner. The dinner was simple, stewed potatoes with sauerkraut and cornmeal pancakes. After dinner, Yao Ling looked after the house while the others followed Xiaohu's father and others up the mountain to check the traps. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be another day of empty-handedness. If they could catch rabbits every day, no matter how fast they reproduced, they would not be able to withstand being caught.

However, going into the mountains was not without gain. Didn't this person harvest a bundle of firewood? At least it wasn't a wasted trip. After returning home, Jiang Yue went to feed the chickens, and the two boys processed the firewood and stacked it. Now that the weather was cold, Jiang Yue fed a little more, otherwise they would not lay eggs.

The days passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was May. The meat accumulated over the winter had been eaten up in the previous period of time. As we ate more and exercised less, everyone gained a few pounds, but the fat only lasted for a few days, and it didn't take long for us to lose weight again.

During this period, in addition to working, the few people have one more thing to do every day, which is to dig wild vegetables when they have time. In the past two years, they have dug wild vegetables everywhere at this time, which can save a lot of food. Secondly, they can dry them and eat them in winter, so that they don’t have to eat sauerkraut and potatoes every day.

When June came, the temperature suddenly rose, giving people the feeling of wearing a coat today and short sleeves tomorrow. During this period, I was busy from the time I opened my eyes in the morning to the time I went to bed at night, which made me exhausted. The good thing is that I already have a year of experience, and I can still persevere if I do a good job of preparation.

It suddenly snowed when we were harvesting soybeans at the end of September. This year's snow came a little earlier than last year. It seemed that there was only dancing snow between the sky and the earth. It was all white. People in front, behind, and around us disappeared, and the soybeans on the ground were also invisible.

At this time, people who came out to work were wearing very thin clothes, and especially when they were working, they would sweat and take off their clothes. Just when everyone was panicking, the team leader lit a big fire, put people on fire, and threw some soybeans into it.
