"Yes, in that case, let's keep it for now." It really doesn't make sense for this girl to be stubborn. But it's just a sheep, so it's no big deal.
"Girl, this sheep only costs ninety yuan at most."
Su Yuanyuan nodded, ninety is ninety, sell it now and save yourself the trouble later.
"Uncle Yang, give me a share of all the farm tools you have here, and also give me two big iron pots."
"Okay, I've prepared everything for you. I'll go there the night after tomorrow." Lao Yang also knew how to avoid the eyes of the villagers as much as possible.
Su Yuanyuan went to the grocery store again and sold a hundred or ten candles, as well as kerosene lamps, kerosene, flashlights, and batteries. She also bought five pieces of cheesecloth. She was going to grind cornmeal when she went back. She still needed a lot.
Face pocket.
When I got home, I started grinding with the big ram. I won't need it anymore.
In this way, five hundred kilograms of cornmeal were ground in one day and one night.
That night Lao Yang drove over and brought all the tools Su Yuanyuan asked for.
Five sheep are four hundred and fifty yuan. After taking away the money for tools, there are still three hundred and seventy yuan left.
Watching them leave, the big ram kept turning around and barking at Su Yuanyuan.
She just stood outside and cried, but she didn't want to let go. They had lived together for so many years and already had feelings for each other.
But if you can’t take them away by yourself, you’d better take them away as soon as possible, so that there’s nothing to worry about. Out of sight, out of mind.
She patted the ewe on the head and said, "I can't help it. If I really leave, you will be taken away by others."
The ewe raised her head and looked at Su Yuanyuan, and she saw fear and despair.
"I may have to leave. I really can't take you with me. The distance is too far. You have to take a train and you can't go up there. How about I let you go up the mountain?"
Su Yuanyuan was really reluctant to let go and felt uneasy no matter what she did.
She saw the sheep and shed tears. Her tears also fell down. Then she patted the ewe on the head.
"The two of us have been working hard these days to grind all the corn into flour. How about you go to space and try it? If it works, I will take you with me. If it doesn't work, there is nothing I can do."
When Su Yuanyuan thought about being alone, she also wanted to have someone familiar, even if it was an animal?
Now the house was cleaner. The two of them grinded cornmeal every day. After a week, they finally finished it.
After collecting the space, she felt at ease. The twelfth lunar month was about to enter. Now she was going up the mountain, and there was no need to collect the hay before. It took two days to remove all the leaves from the corn stalks, and put the straw bundles into the space.
Su Yuanyuan felt like a locust passing through the border, leaving nothing behind.
The first snowfall in 1958 was not too heavy, but the weather was dry and cold, and there has been no rain since autumn. It seems that this year will definitely be a disaster.
Su Yuanyuan decided to go up the mountain today. She had put the sheep into the space all night, tied it up, and watched it fall into a deep sleep after entering, and it was not kicked out. It seems that it should be possible, but if not, she will
He takes time to hide in the toilet, and when he is kicked out, he takes it back immediately.
This was very risky, but she was reluctant to leave the ewe.
I didn't let the sheep out when I went up the mountain today. Want to see how long I can last?
Perhaps because there wasn't much rain this year, Su Yuanyuan felt that there were a lot more dead trees on the mountain. She planned to go down the mountain until evening, so she cut them down and tidied them up before putting them away.
In this way, ten dead trees were harvested in one day.
The next day, she continued to go up the mountain in the morning. Three days later, she finally saw the wild boar.
Not just one, but a whole family, six in total.
Su Yuanyuan looked at the wild boars with bright eyes. They were all money, and the youngest one weighed five or six hundred pounds. "Dad" really took care of herself. She felt grateful in her heart.
Two apples appeared in his hand and he threw them towards the wild boar.
Six pigs threw away more than a dozen apples. They just lowered their heads to eat them and even knocked them down when they ran over.
After the bloodletting, it was directly collected into the space, and now there is another income this year. According to this situation, I am still very lucky.
With a smile on his face, he was about to turn around and leave when he heard a noise. It must have been a large animal, and it wasn't even one.
Su Yuanyuan stepped into the space, and soon three wild boars came over. Good guy, are they catching up with the wild boars for a meeting?
Excited, she threw a few more apples, and one accidentally hit the wild boar on the head.
After packing these three things, Su Yuanyuan felt light and airy even when she went down the mountain.
I still have to go to Lao Yang for this, but how to explain it? There are no wolves, and I can't get so many wild boars by myself.
I racked my brains to think of excuses, but still couldn't think of any, so I might as well just leave it like this. Lao Yang wouldn't ask deeply, and even if he asked, he wouldn't say anything.
I got home late today and just as I started lighting the fire, Hu Chunhua came over.
"Girl, did you go up the mountain today?"
"Yeah, it's okay. Let's go up the mountain and see if there are any wild boars or anything like that." Su Yuanyuan said with a smile.
"Don't go, that wild boar is very ferocious.
By the way, the whole village is having a meeting today, and our village is going to establish a cooperative. All the land will be managed uniformly, and food will be distributed to everyone on a per-capita basis."
Su Yuanyuan looked at the excited Hu Chunhua and also laughed, "Then how do you do the work? Don't lazy people just stop working?"
"How can such a good thing happen? Someone keeps track of merit points every day, and food is divided according to head, but when it comes to dividing money, it is divided according to centimeters."
"I'm telling you, if we share the money equally, no one will work."
"Girl, luckily your sheep, pigs, chickens, and ducks have been sold a long time ago. I heard that the pigs and sheep should be returned to the brigade, and the chickens and ducks can be raised by yourself. But you can't have too many."
"Free?"
Hu Chunhua shook his head, "No, but it's definitely not as much as what he earns from selling meat.
It hasn't started yet, but there will be seven families asking your uncle to kill pigs tomorrow, and your uncle said he would start killing pigs at three o'clock tomorrow."
"Are there so many people buying meat?"
"I don't know, I'll just figure it out myself."
"Auntie, if there are people you are close to and they really can't sell them, just send them to me. I'll go to the county town the day after tomorrow and deliver them to Lao Yang."
"Okay, I'll kill both ends of my family directly, and I'll ask your uncle to drive them over when the time comes."
"You must be very busy these days, so there is no need to send it. Let him come over and take care of it. You can weigh it and I will send the money to you when the time comes."
"Okay, how much can I ask for from Lao Yang?"
"Five or six hundred pounds should be no problem."
"Okay, I'll go to the captain's house. His house will kill the pigs at three o'clock tomorrow morning. I'll ask Xiubo to bring them to you then. Mine will kill them tonight."
