Tan Shaoting was driving home here, and for lunch he made dumplings, leek, egg and shrimp skin.
Su Yuanyuan waited for Tan Shaoting to come back before cooking dumplings.
It’s hard to cook dumplings in this summer, so Tan Shaoting is responsible for lighting the fire.
The two of them sat in the main room to eat, with a plate of rice noodles, a plate of sausages and mixed cucumbers.
Tan Shaoting told everything about his meeting with Ma Changshun and Feng Baoshan this morning.
Su Yuanyuan nodded, that's all. To be honest, it would save the two of them effort.
"Where should we put the corn stalks? Can we just put them directly in the ground?"
"The only thing we can do is to put it in the ground. We will clean it up when we come back and put it in the ground for ventilation. It will be dry when we get back."
Su Yuanyuan nodded, that's fine. Even if someone comes to hug her, they won't take too many away.
"Tan Shaoting, let me go to a foreign country by myself. There are many things here."
"I also want to visit foreign countries, but I haven't seen foreigners yet."
Su Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at him. "But there are still animals at home. Besides, is it really okay for the two of us to just lock the door and leave?"
"Don't worry, I've already told Director Feng. The two of us will be together. As for the animals, we will send them to Uncle Bai.
Let’s bring over some grain and some more of these sweet potato seedlings.”
"Will the sheep be sent in the same way?"
"Of course. Send them all over. Uncle Bai has a lot of livestock."
"Isn't it true? Everything has been collected by the collective. How can he still have so many animals?"
Tan Shaoting thought for a while. "That's right. I'll go and ask tomorrow. Do you want to go to the city together?"
Su Yuanyuan shook her head, "I won't go, and I don't want to go anywhere now."
In fact, she was a little worried about her hometown and Hu Chunhua and the others, but they all obeyed. The grain was not sold, but was saved. Even if there is a severe drought this year and there is no harvest, there will be no problem at all in getting through this year.
The two continued to practice in the evening. Su Yuanyuan was very active now, hoping to collect more food.
At that time, even if it is covered with heavy snow or falls down, it can be put away directly. What a great skill is this?
Su Yuanyuan thought of this with a smile on her lips. She was not worried about the lack of food there at all.
In the middle of the night, she stopped. She still wanted to sleep. Even though it was like this, she still felt that sleep could relieve her fatigue.
Tan Shaoting has become more self-disciplined and meditates like this. Su Yuanyuan is really envious of him.
When it was past four o'clock, Tan Shaoting carefully got off the ground, hooked up the car and left.
He went directly to the city and to Bai's house.
Bai Linsheng was quite surprised to see Tan Shaoting coming.
"Xiao Tan, why are you here?"
"Uncle Bai, come and see you."
"Hurry and get in the house."
Tan Shaoting drove the donkey cart into the yard.
"Uncle Bai, this?"
Bai Linsheng sighed, "Sit in the room."
The two of them entered the main room, and Bai Linsheng's wife brought water to them.
"Uncle Bai, where are those animals?"
"I got the news that they will all be sold this year."
"All sold?"
"Isn't it?"
Tan Shaoting could see that Bai Linsheng was really reluctant to let go.
"Xiao Tan, why are you here?"
Tan Shaoting smiled bitterly, "I'm still thinking of going out for a while and sending over my two donkeys and sheep so that Uncle Bai can help take care of them."
"You want to go out?"
"Yes, I want to go out to look at chemical fertilizers. Last year there was nothing I could do. I will go there earlier this year. I don't know if I can get it back."
"Is that little girl coming too?"
"Yes, the two of us together."
"Well, I'll go to your house and take care of the animals for you. Otherwise, I won't have anything to do here. The animals can still be taken care of better on the farm."
Tan Shaoting was stunned for a moment: "Uncle Bai, that would be too much trouble for you."
Bai Linsheng shook his head, "What's the trouble? I'm just a cat at home in the winter, so why not go to the farm, where there are less troubles."
"Are your aunt and brothers at home going too?"
Bai Linsheng nodded, "Let's all come together. As long as you're not lazy, it won't get cold."
"Thank you, Uncle Bai. It just so happens that my house is empty now. I will also leave some food."
Bai Linsheng smiled and nodded. He has been with the animals for more than thirty years. He has been staying at home for more than half a year this year. It is really uncomfortable. It is good to go out and live for a while.
In fact, the street arranged a job for the couple. They were to sweep the street. However, before they could take the job, they were replaced by others. So they were both unemployed.
Although he was only able to get the lowest-level ticket, he was very satisfied with the fact that he could still get the ticket without doing anything.
He really didn't want to sweep the streets. But it wasn't because he felt embarrassed, but because he felt that it was boring to do the work of the elderly when he was young and strong.
"Uncle Bai, then you can discuss it with your aunt and brothers at home, and I will come to pick you up in about twenty days or a month."
Bai Linsheng nodded. "Okay, that's it. Let's clean up. But your brothers will have to go after a while, and they have to wait until the holidays. I will go there first and come back to pick them up. You don't have to worry.
Can you stay home and sleep tonight?"
Tan Shaoting shook his head, "No, I'd better go back. I still have things to do at home."
Although he didn't stay, he stayed to eat.
He obviously felt that the Bai family's food was poor, but this was normal. After all, there was a severe drought this year.
When he got home, he drove the donkey cart into his old house, fed the donkey, and then went back.
At this time Su Yuanyuan also got up.
"What do you want to eat?"
“Want to eat beef noodles.”
Su Yuanyuan had no objection and gave Tan Shaoting a bowl of beef noodles and two donkey meats to burn.
During the day, the two of them tidied up the vegetables in the yard. After lunch, Tan Shaoting went to bed.
It was mid-September and both of them knew there would be no rain anyway, so Tan Shaoting went to find Ma Changshun.
