Chapter 401(1/2)

After dinner.

Luo Xuan was about to take Lu Miao back to the house he rented.

Then someone sent a message to find Qiu Xiaogang.

Luo Xuan planned to ask Qiu Xiaogang to send the mules and foals he bought to Xiao Laojun Mountain.

And he stayed on the street of Hongxing Commune and walked around with Lu Miao for two days.

"I don't want to live on the street."

After Lu Miao heard Luo Xuan's plan, she said, "I want to go to Xiao Laojun Mountain with you.

What's the point of living on this red star street? It only takes ten minutes to walk up and down the street.

What's so fun about it? Well... that rabbit head is delicious, it's really fragrant."

Luo Xuan said, "It's not fun in Xiaolaojun Mountain! The ground is not even three feet flat, and the sky is different ten miles away."

The climate is changeable. It rains when it rains and sunny when it shines. It may be raining on one side of the mountain, but the sun is shining brightly on the other side of the mountain.

Moreover, the life of the members of the production team in the mountains is not as good as you imagined. I'm afraid you will cry when you see it..."

Lu Miao pouted and said, "I'm not one of those students in our school who can only give impassioned speeches, speak with great emotion, and talk about their ideals to the limitless heights."

"I just want to know more about the sufferings in the world.

I want to know, who do you deal with on a daily basis? What kind of life do you usually live?"

Lu Miao sighed slightly: "Brother Luo Xuan, do you know? Since I contacted you once and exchanged letters with you several times.

I gradually felt that the seniors I made friends with in school used to seem very high-ranking.

Now,

When I saw them again, I saw them making impassioned speeches on the podium, either with their eyes wide open in anger, or in high spirits, scolding Fang Qiu,

I felt it was funny.

I feel like they are very superficial and childish.”

"I thought about it over and over again. Finally, I understood that compared to you, Brother Luo Xuan, they are less agile and less pyrotechnics.

Now it seems to me that their life is unreal. It seems like they are stepping on the clouds with their feet, light and airy. They are not grounded at all."

Lu Miao stroked her ears and hair,

He smiled sweetly at Luo Xuan: "I think, brother Luo Xuan, you live a very real and confident life.

You will never deliberately please the powerful, let alone despise those who live a very difficult life.

It doesn’t matter if it’s sunny or snowy, or it doesn’t matter if it’s a lowly person.

It seems that in your eyes, brother Luo Xuan, they are all the same. Do you think this is part of life?"

Luo Xuan chuckled, "I am just a small member of the production team. How can I be as ordinary and great as you said?

Okay, okay, since you have made up your mind, we are going to experience life in the mountains.

Then let’s not continue discussing these metaphysical things, right?

It's getting late now. It's more than 40 miles away from Xiaolaojun's production team.

If we want to get to Xiaolaojun Mountain, we have to go more than 50 miles.

If we don't set off now, we may not be able to reach the Xiaolaojun production team until dark."

Now that the two of them have agreed, they will head to Xiaolaojun Mountain together.

Then Luo Xuan ran to the livestock market to drive the mule and the colt he had bought.

This time, I also bought about 20 piglets.

There are many wild fruits and weeds in the mountains.

Coupled with the land reclamation in the mountains this time, there will be quite a lot of straw harvested by then.

I now plan to let them raise some pigs and use some grain straw and water that cannot be used by humans to turn them into pork.

Thus,

For the dozens of people stationed deep in Xiao Laojun, their meat supply can be guaranteed to be stable in the long term.

When we arrived at the deep trading market, the entire market was already quiet.

Everyone involved in the transaction, or those on duty, were all gone at this time.

In the small woods next to the market, Luo Xuan found Captain Wutong and the others who were still there, guarding the livestock he had bought.

He handed over two packs of cigarettes to express his gratitude.

Then the captain and others helped Luo Xuan put the piglets he bought into the basket carried on the back of the mule.

After thanking each other.

After the captain and others left, Luo Xuan was the only one left in the woods.

Seeing that everything was quiet, Luo Xuan grabbed about 10 piglets in a basket and put them into the space.

My own space is getting bigger and bigger now.

It's time to expand the scale of breeding in the space.

Luo Xuan was busy working in the woods next to the livestock trading market.

Lu Miao went to the catering service company and packed up about 10 rabbit heads.

She heard from Luo Xuan that there were two girls in the mountain who liked to eat the white-flour steamed buns with saccharin from the catering service.

What other pea cakes are said to be there?

therefore,

Lu Miao bothered Fatty Gu again and took out the leftovers from the catering service company's sales in the morning, including steamed buns, fried dough sticks and pea cakes.

Packed a lot more.

To be honest, Lu Miao has never experienced hardship since she was a child.

She seems to have even less idea about money than Chen Xiaoduan.

As long as Luo Xuan told him who was around and what he liked to eat, Lu Miao would just buy it without thinking about the price.

Not to mention how many rural children have been starving for these things for a month, two months, even half a year, or a year.

I can't even eat it once...

In Lu Miao's perception: It seems that these things belong to the "eat whatever you want" series.

no way,

Different origins determine a person's behavior and the level at which he views problems.

After Luo Xuan and Lu Miao met up, they drove a large group of livestock towards Xiao Laojun Mountain.

In fact, mules are very easy to drive animals.

Its temper is not as stubborn as that of a donkey, nor as violent as that of a horse.

As long as you lead the mule in front and move forward, the others behind you will naturally line up and follow suit.

The shoes on Lu Miao's feet are actually not suitable for walking on mountain roads.

After walking about 10 miles, Lu Miao complained that her feet couldn't bear it anymore.

Fortunately, when I bought the foal, the seller also gave me a simple saddle as a gift.

Don't think about the golden saddle and jade horse.

This kind of saddle used by the production team can only be called a saddle.

Actually,

This is a convenient thing for placing baskets filled with goods on both sides of the horse's back. The workmanship is very rough and primitive.

Its main function is not to allow people to ride horses.

In other words, a commune member who had just started carpentry worked overtime to make something in order to earn 3 days of work points.

How can we expect its quality and how good it will be?

Help Lu Miao onto the horse.

Lu Miao, who had never ridden a horse before, was sitting on it, swaying and falling from side to side. It was really heartbreaking, and she couldn't help but worry about her.

As for Lu Miao, who was sitting on the horse, she was also very frightened: "Oh, I can't do it, I can't do it! I want to come down, I want to come down! It's too scary."

Seeing that she was really scared to death, Luo Xuan had no choice but to take Lu Miao off the horse.

But after walking a few steps, Lu Miao squatted down again with a look of pain on her face, took off one of her shoes, and shook out the dust inside.

But now there are several blisters on her feet.

Just shaking off the dust is actually useless.
To be continued...
