When the two children went to bed, Xiao Tongran quietly called Chen Miao to let her out.
The two were chatting in the living room.
"When do you have time right now? Do you still want to get diesel?"
"Go, but you have to wait until An Guoqiang gets married, maybe after twelve."
"Okay. I'll arrange how many days we have to go there."
"Luo Bingyuan is back. Let's go up the mountain together tomorrow. I always feel that the cave is not enough."
"Let's go and see. When did Luo Bingyuan come back?"
"I didn't know he was back until I went to my house in the morning."
"You can worry a lot less when he's at home."
"Yes, by the way, we also need to buy some tarpaulins and other things in large quantities."
"I have a lot here, but it's not enough."
"I was afraid of catching the rain, so I just thought about peeling the corn and transporting it to the mountains."
"I think we should build corn baskets at the edge of the field. It's open and windy and easy to dry."
"Isn't it windier on the mountain?"
"It depends on the situation."
"I'm thinking about putting the potatoes in the cellar and planting a lot of potatoes next year."
"I have it here, but it's not too big."
"Let's find someone to dig at my place. If we dig bigger, it will be more convenient."
"It's better to dig directly at the edge of the ground. This way, you can make it as big as you want, and you won't have to haul it back and forth in the future."
"It's indeed a good idea. Just dig it in the ground and find someone to design it so it won't freeze."
"You didn't arrange them all over there. They live there. They will be fine."
"Mr. Xiao, have you been to the other side?"
"I've been there twice, and there's nothing there. It's not peaceful. It's been a long-term war."
Chen Miao nodded, "Go and have a look if you have a chance."
"There is nothing there, not much better than us."
Chen Miao smiled and said, "I just wanted to take a look."
Just as he was talking, Luo Bingyuan came over.
"I was just thinking of looking for you this afternoon."
"I went to look for you at home but you weren't there. I thought I should be here."
"The room is too hot. Yunchang and Yunyu also want to take a nap. What do you want from me?"
"I'm thinking of taking someone up the mountain in the afternoon."
"I was just saying that I would go and have a look tomorrow."
"No rush, you can just wait until I finish cleaning up before going."
"Is the house built?"
"Of course, there must be at least two people guarding it. There are usually people working there. There should be fifty people on the mountain."
"Okay, then I won't go. When can you leave, Mr. Xiao? Let's go take a look at the diesel issue."
Chen Miao was anxious because he was afraid that Tao Juncheng would return to China. His main purpose this time was to get penicillin.
"Aren't you waiting for An Guoqiang to get married?"
"Can't you come back? Even if you don't come back, Luo Bingyuan will be here."
"If you're in a hurry, leave tomorrow."
Luo Bingyuan also knows that diesel is too important. He already knows how many machines have been brought back this time. Even the generator will use a lot of diesel.
He knew that big cities already had electricity, but this county did not.
In fact, even if there is electricity, it is not stable. It is better to use a generator.
"Want me to come with you?"
"It doesn't matter if there is no one at home. If I don't come back, you will have to propose marriage to Guoqiang on the ninth day of the lunar month, and we will get married on the twelfth day of the lunar month."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
Chen Miao nodded, "It's nothing serious. I'm worried because my acquaintances in Xiangjiang will come back from abroad." Chen Miao was also worried. Tao Juncheng had been away for several months, so he should be back anyway. The Tao family is not necessarily worried.
.
"Can you know the news?" Xiao Tongran asked.
Chen Miao shook his head, "I just wanted to go there after the autumn harvest and go back to celebrate the New Year with Yun Shan and Yun Xin."
"Okay, how about I go to the south with you?"
Chen Miao shook his head, "Do you have time? Your master did ask you several times last time."
Luo Bingyuan sighed, "I am quite unfilial."
The next three people discussed how to clean up the cave. The main reason was that there was still nearly a hundred meters of mountain road and it still needed to be transported by tractor.
"It should be okay, it's not that steep."
"What I'm worried about is that the tractor will overturn. The front of the tractor is not that heavy. If it pulls too much weight and it climbs a hill, I'm afraid that the front of the tractor will lift up."
"If it doesn't work, fall back." Luo Bingyuan said with a frown.
"Not very realistic, is it?"
"We'll talk about it later. No, all the grain has been dried down below. Everything that can be done down here has been dried down below."
Next, the cellar was mentioned again, and Luo Bingyuan also thought that being in the ground was the most convenient. The main reason was that the place was really big enough, so he could do whatever he wanted.
After the children woke up, the two left together.
"The higher-up has given you a lot of military honors. The service report and military medals are all in the bag given to you."
"I haven't had time to see it yet."
"Yes. Go back. I will take people up the mountain and transfer people from two places. Is it okay for Guoqiang to get married not at home but in the warehouse?"
Chen Miao shook his head, "The warehouse is inappropriate. I won't stay at home for too long. Neither will they. They will move out after the house is built."
Luo Bingyuan was afraid that Chen Miao would be uncomfortable. Since she didn't feel anything about it, that was fine.
After the two separated, Chen Miao pushed the two children to the cloth store. There was not enough cotton and cloth, so she asked them to deliver it as soon as possible. Looking at their speed, they should be able to make outerwear. It would be better to complete it at once. The remaining cotton shoes
Harvest the finished product directly. Tell them that they will be able to do it faster. They have already registered the size of shoes they wear last time.
There were a lot of people in Buzhuang at this time. When the shopkeeper saw Chen Miao coming, he immediately came out of the counter and said, "Sister-in-law."
It's really unaccustomed for her to call herself sister-in-law when she's already forty or fifty years old. But she didn't object.
This time I told him directly that he needed the thickest cloth, which would be enough for about a hundred clothes.
"Sister-in-law, I'll find someone to send you off tomorrow."
"OK."
Everyone in the shop looked at the two of them. After all, Chen Miao was too young and was a little curious to be called sister-in-law by the shopkeeper.
"Then it's up to you, the shopkeeper, to make arrangements."
"Sister-in-law, there is new muslin cloth, do you want it?"
Chen Miao nodded and followed the shopkeeper. There were samples on the counter. They felt really comfortable. "Give me two."
"I'll have someone send it over."
Chen Miao shook his head, "No need, just put it in the car."
If you have nothing to do, you should also make clothes for Yun Shan and Yun Xin.
After Chen Miao left, several regular customers asked, "Who is this shopkeeper?"
"Just a customer."
The more people said this, the more curious they became. But the shopkeeper didn't say anything. Mainly because he didn't know much.
I went to the market again and saw that there were eggs sold, but this time they were all rounded up. I saw the watermelon seller bought several, and she seemed sincere, so she agreed to give them away if she bought more.
Chen Miao answered that at home, there were ten big watermelons placed in the yard. She cut one and asked them to come out to eat the watermelon. The work was good and there was no idle time?
Everyone knows that they paid for it, but to be honest, they really can’t bear to eat it.
