Chapter 13 Harvest

Wang Xiaojun woke up not long after sleeping. After waking up, Wang Xiaojun carried the bucket and carried the bean sprouts on his back and rushed towards the place where the bamboo bean sprouts were placed last night.

The morning air in the mountain village is fresh, and the villagers have already started to go to work.

Listening to the sounds of the villagers going to work, Wang Xiaojun then thought that he was a beggar, so he was never allowed to go to work in the village, and no one came to ask him to go to work now.

While I was thinking about this, I saw the village chief walking over.

"Xiaojun."

"Uncle."

"I was just about to find you. You stopped talking before, and now you are considered a member of the village. Everyone's opinion is that you also farm, and your work points will be counted. What do you think?"

"Uncle, you know my situation. I really can't do farming, and I don't have much labor force. My idea is to get something to sell in the city. I believe I won't starve to death."

Zhou Dashi was silent for a while, then sighed and said: "No one knows what the policy will be like. I'm afraid it will happen again. What will you do then?"

"Uncle, I'll come see you to farm again then!"

Zhou Dashi said: "Okay, you are ambitious, I won't care about you."

"Don't worry, I can live a good life. It's just that you have to give me a letter of introduction every time you leave the village."

"What are you doing?"

"I put some bamboo and other things. I heard that people in the city like to eat eels and so on. I caught some to see if I can sell them for some money."

Zhou Dashi frowned and said: "It's such a long way, by the time you get to the city, everyone will probably be dead!"

"I've long been optimistic about it. There are small rivers along the way. I'll change the water in the river after walking for a while. How can I get it into the city?"

"It's better to get those old turtles. They can survive for a long time even without water. I'll have people catch some for you. No one in the village will eat them."

"Okay, as long as you get the money from the sale, I'll exchange it for oil."

"You boy!"

After watching Zhou Dashi leave, Wang Xiaojun came to the paddy field and immediately saw a lot of fish and shrimps, loaches, eels, and some field snails in the bamboo shoots.

After cleaning up a piece of bamboo and putting it there again, when I went to another place, there was an old turtle inside. It was really big, weighing at least five kilograms, and I don’t know how long it had lived.

time.

Later, Wang Xiaojun brought all the things he had obtained back to his residence.

The cave is shady and cooler, and after adding water, it is easy to survive.

Wang Xiaojun put these things separately in some buckets and basins.

It seems like I should get some items to hold these things when I come back this time.

When he arrived at the small river ditch, Wang Xiaojun saw a woman looking at his bamboo shoots.

"Wang Xiaojun, did you make this? How did you make this? It's very hard to make without oil."

The sound is crisp and clear.

When Wang Xiaojun took a look, it was Lu Xiaoqiao, a young widow from the village.

This Lu Xiaoqiao is also a hard-working person. Her family is deep in the mountains and there is no food at home. It only cost her five yuan to marry her to an old hunter from Heishan Village. On the day he came to the door, the old hunter married her.

When the hunter wanted to catch a pheasant in the mountains for a banquet, he unexpectedly encountered a blind bear and was killed by a bear.

The villagers all thought that this woman was a naughty person and did not have any contact with her. Because she was so pretty, the men in the village would stare at her, which made the women even more unhappy and automatically

If she doesn't, she will be ostracized.

Now she can't go back to her family, so she lives in the old Orion's house. Since she doesn't belong to the village's household registration, she can't work with everyone. She can only catch some things from the river to eat, or

Find some wild vegetables and the like to eat. Although his life is better than that of Wang Xiaojun, the two of them had a similar life before.

"Sister Qiao, why haven't I seen you these days?" Wang Xiaojun then remembered this woman. The two of them had worked together many times to get food.

"There are so many people in your house, but they won't let me go there, and it's not easy for me to go. Why are you suddenly rich now?"

"Unexpectedly, I dug up ginseng. When I took it to the city, a rich man took notice and gave me something."

"Catch these and eat them. Now that you have oil, you can eat these."

"Sister Qiao, please come to my house later and help me pack these things. I'll treat you to some after I make them."

"real?"

Lu Xiaoqiao is really desperate now. She is very hungry every day. This morning she was thinking about coming here to get something to cook and eat when she went home. Unexpectedly, she met Wang Xiaojun and even heard that he wanted to treat her to a meal. How could she

Reason not to go.

"They all say that I am a swindler and a swindler. Are you really not afraid of me?"

"What am I afraid of? Didn't we look for food together before?"

"It was before, but now you are doing well, but I heard that many people want to marry their daughters to you."

"Don't talk about that now. It's true that you are full. By the way, if you have time, help me catch some old turtles. I want to sell them in the city. You will definitely benefit from them."

Lu Xiaoqiao pursed her lips and smiled and said: "Okay, I'll listen to you. I'm good at this. Take a look at what the bamboo shoots you made look like. I'll make this."

Seeing the way this woman smiled, Wang Xiaojun was somewhat distracted. No wonder so many men in the village liked this woman. She was really charming!

I mean, how could something like this pop up in my memory?
