Chapter 404 Letters, New Year's Goods
"Well, you two, don't follow us here. Just look around the mountain to see if there are any hoof prints."
"Hoofprints?" Shi Jianxin looked at Fang Yuan.
"Stupid!" Fangyuan hit the guy on the head again and said, "If there are hoof prints, it means there are rabbits, and then you can make a trap."
Hearing what Fangyuan said, Shi Jianxin glanced at Zhao Yang and said, "I understand, let's go right away."
After saying that, he took Zhao Yang and left. Looking at the backs of the two people leaving, Fang Yuan shook his head.
Fangyuan has been here countless times, and there are no rabbits at all. Needless to say, the two guys are busy in vain.
Fangyuan continued to check the water pipes for more than an hour. Fangyuan looked behind and ducked into the space.
First I got myself something to eat, drank a glass of milk, then went to the mountain to pick fruits, and then I came to the grass.
Then he saw Fangyuan put his hand into his mouth and whistled.
A black shadow came flying towards me. This was not a lone wolf, because the lone wolf's fur was yellow. Even if it ran towards me, it would still be a yellow shadow.
This is a little donkey, no, because it can no longer be called a little donkey. It has grown up.
Even though it is only a few months old, this little donkey is no different from an adult donkey. The only difference is that it is still young.
Just as the little donkey ran over, Fangyuan turned over and rode on it, and then the little donkey carried Fangyuan on its back and ran through the space.
"Hahaha! Not bad, you are getting stronger and stronger." Fangyuan patted the little donkey's head and said.
Fangyuan still remembers the first time he rode a donkey. He lay on the ground as soon as he got on the donkey.
There was nothing I could do, even though Fang Yuan wasn't fat, he was not light, and he immediately crushed the little donkey to the ground.
Of course, the little donkey was not that big at that time, and Fangyuan was just trying it out.
After playing in the space for a while, Fangyuan took a bath, changed her underwear, and put on the clothes she had worn before.
There is no way, he can't just change his clothes when he goes out! What does this make everyone think?
After coming out of the space, Fangyuan walked back. When he got home, it was almost eleven o'clock.
By this time, Zhao Yang and Shi Jianxin had returned.
"Captain, we searched many places, but we didn't see any rabbit hoof prints." Zhao Yang said to Yuan Yuan with a grimace.
"If not, then there won't be! I didn't have any hope at first." Fangyuan spread his hands and said.
"But captain, didn't you catch one yesterday?" Shi Jianxin scratched his head and said.
"It happened by chance yesterday. Besides, can such good things happen every day?"
"this……"
"Okay." Fangyuan went up and patted Shi Jianxin on the shoulder.
"All right!"
After Fangyuan entered the house, he first got some water to wash his hands, and then went outside with the water.
Instead of pouring water on the ground, he came to the snowman with a basin and sprinkled the water on the snowman little by little with his hands.
Fangyuan has been doing this every day these days, so now these two snowmen are technically two icemen.
The reason why Fangyuan did this was to hope that the two snowmen could stay together longer.
There's nothing I can do about it. Although it's still below freezing these days, the temperature seems to be getting higher day by day. Today, it has risen to minus six degrees.
This is four or five degrees higher than the day it first snowed! If this continues, the snow will melt in a few days.
He sprinkled water on the snowman, just a little bit at a time. The snowman slowly turned into an iceman, and it could stay there for a few more days.
However, Fangyuan soon realized that his worries were in vain, because at about four o'clock that afternoon, snowflakes began to fall outside again.
When I first started to rain, I didn't feel any change in the temperature, but after dinner, the temperature dropped rapidly.
"Oh! If I had known I wouldn't have eaten rabbit yesterday, I would have saved it for tonight." Zhao Yang tightened his clothes and said.
Shi Jianxin gave him a roll of his eyes and said, "What you said, did you know it would snow today?"
"Isn't this what I'm talking about!" Zhao Yang touched his nose.
Fangyuan happened to come back from outside at this time, so of course he ate it secretly.
"Damn it, it's really cold outside!" Fang Yuan said as she was afraid of wearing clothes.
"Captain, when you say that, I don't even dare to go to the toilet." One of the team members said.
"You kid, you still have to go to the bathroom no matter how cold it is! Do you want to solve it in the house?"
"I want to solve it in the room! But the captain doesn't agree." The captain scratched his head and said.
It's not that Fangyuan disagrees, but that there is no other way. Although this room is not small, there are two kangs, and they are very warm now. If you urinate in the room, the smell will be bad.
Therefore, Fangyuan stipulates that you are not allowed to urinate in the room, and you must go out to use the toilet. This is the same at any time.
Time flies by in a blink of an eye, and there are only a few days until the New Year.
The weather is getting colder day by day, but fortunately Fangyuan is with the team. During this time before the year, basically every two or three days, Fangyuan would bring back one or two rabbits.
It means that there is no shortage of meat for everyone. They eat meat, and of course the second team has to drink soup. No, basically every team member will go to the second team every two or three days.
Send some steamed buns or half a sack of sweet potatoes to the second team.
In fact, it’s not just the second team. Fangyuan asked the team members to see which families in the village were in need, and would send some sweet potatoes to help them from time to time.
Of course, I don’t give many gifts each time, I just give them more often, so that they won’t be so conspicuous.
Also, this weather, since the second snowfall, Fangyuan feels as if it has never stopped.
The next one will happen in a few days. Originally, Fangyuan had planned to go to the commune to buy some things and come back to celebrate the New Year when the weather improved.
But it seemed that God was against him, and there was never good weather.
It's only a week before the Chinese New Year. If you don't buy anything, you may not be able to sell it.
There is no other way, Fangyuan can only go there in the snow, and at least get some meat back.
Of course, he went to the commune just to find an excuse, but now God doesn't even give him an excuse, which makes Fang Yuan speechless.
After dinner the next morning, Fangyuan set off alone without anyone following him.
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he has no choice. Except for some things, most of the things have to be taken out of the space. How can he let them follow.
God seemed to have something to do with him. Although it didn't snow today, there was a strong wind. The wind blew up the snow, which was almost like snow.
It was even worse than snow, and the blowing north wind felt like a knife cutting my face.
Fangyuan is fully armed, with a cotton jacket, cotton trousers, big leather shoes, and a locomotive hat, but even so, he can't hide his face!
It was originally an hour's journey, but it took Fangyuan two hours to reach the commune.
When he saw that the door of the supply and marketing cooperative was open, Fangyuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the supply and marketing cooperative would be closed during the Chinese New Year.
Of course, Fangyuan did not go in, but turned around and went to the commune.
He wanted to see if there were any letters, not only from him, but also from the team members.
The letters from Fangyuan and the others were not delivered directly, but to the commune, and then sent to the team members by the working group.
However, it has been snowing since the beginning of winter, and no one from Fangyuan came to the commune, let alone the working group. In fact, the working group left the village very early.
Not only did they go back to celebrate the New Year, but mainly because there was nothing going on in the village, there was no use for them to stay.
The commune is a row of brick and tile houses, the kind of houses that reach the spine, with a large courtyard. These houses are only a little better than the houses where ordinary people live.
The gatekeeper was an old man. After Fangyuan came over, he walked directly over.
"Hello, uncle! I am an educated youth from the second team of Qiugou Village. I would like to ask if there is any letter from us."
"Team 2 of Qiugou Village! Yes, please wait a moment."
Soon the old man came over with a handful of letters, which seemed to be at least dozens.
"Little comrade, these are all from the second team of your Qiugou Village. Take a look."
"Thank you, uncle, can I take it back for them?" Fang Yuan looked at the old man and asked.
"Of course. Many letters came here a month ago, but no one has come to pick them up," the old man said.
"That's it! Thank you, uncle."
"Need not."
Fangyuan quickly read through the letters. One of them was his, and there were letters from everyone in the other team, and some even had two or three letters.
I guess there was no reply, so I wrote again.
Fangyuan shook his head and thought: This working group is really irresponsible. These letters should be delivered to everyone in time.
But now is not the time to talk about this. Let's go shopping quickly and go back.
To be honest, Fangyuan came to the commune mainly for these letters. The Chinese New Year is coming soon and everyone will be upset if they can't see the letters from home.
After packing up the letter and expressing her gratitude to the old man again, Fangyuan went to the supply and marketing cooperative.
Fangyuan didn't buy anything else, but bought two boxes of locally produced sweet potato roast. This was not the kind made by ordinary people, but the kind produced by wineries.
Glass bottles, 12 bottles in a box, are much more expensive than bulk wine, 2.50 yuan per box, a little more than 20 cents per bottle.
After paying the money, Fangyuan carried two boxes of wine and walked back. Of course, he didn't really carry it back. After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Fangyuan turned around and put the wine into the space.
After another two hours, Fangyuan returned to the village. When he was still a few hundred meters away from the village, Fangyuan took out the things.
There are four boxes of wine in total, two boxes are sweet potato roast bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, and two boxes are Erguotou taken out from the space.
In addition to these boxes of wine, there were four white-striped chickens and two large pigs, weighing about fifty or sixty kilograms.
There are also peanuts, melon seeds, fruit candies, white rabbit milk candies, etc.
Of course, there is another thing that is indispensable for celebrating the New Year, and that is firecrackers. Without these things, it always feels like we are not celebrating the New Year.
There are so many things, enough for a good year.
There were just so many things, and Fangyuan couldn't move them back all at once! So he took out another stick from the space and found some ropes...
Chapter completed!
