Chapter 24

"Okay, that's it, let your mother follow you to dig. I'll go into the mountains to find you when it's almost dark."

"Dad, it's the valley you took me to." Wang Xiaolong told Wang Jianqiang.

"Okay, I understand. You two are tired for a day, hurry up and go back to bed."

After washing, Wang Ailing fell asleep on the kang. Fortunately, she didn't have to grind corn in the middle of the night.

Jiang Xinyu returned home, put the basket into the space, then went down the cellar, and then released the basket to pile the yam in the cellar.

Today was also tiring enough, but looking at the dough that had been raised in the basin, I was still appointed to steam buns, so I could boil water and cook at the same time.

Take out the steamer, brush it clean, put the cloth on the tile, put the prepared steamed buns in, and put the two tiles up and down.

I don’t have to be hungry tomorrow as if I am today. I’m so heartbroken all day long.

Jiang Xinyu also steamed two egg custard for herself. She didn't prepare much eggs, which was more than 100 kilograms, and they were all bought in batches. At that time, when the eggs were the cheapest, they were 2.51 kilograms.

Looking at the pork with 300 kilograms, there was only a portion of greedy. The stewed meat was so fragrant that I didn’t dare to do it at all. The brigade had a few pigs waiting to hand in the task, so I could share some points. Then I would take advantage of this opportunity to stew more and then keep it for greed.

In fact, steamed buns also have fragrance, but Jiang Xinyu's luck is still good. There will be wind tonight, so no one will come to me.

After the steamed buns were out of the pot, although they looked dark, they could break them and taste them half.

The egg custard is paired with steamed buns and a ham sausage. The dinner configuration is already good.

The remaining half is simply added with sugar, which makes it more delicious.

After eating, I didn’t wash my hair, just a simple neck and face, as well as my feet. Looking at the blisters on the soles of my feet, I really felt that I was so strong.

The next morning, I forced myself to get up at 6:30 in the morning, brush my teeth and wash my face, ate a steamed bun in a space, drank a bowl of milk powder. I found a cloth bag, put ten steamed buns in the basket, and put them in the basket. This is today's meal.

After thinking about it, I cut another piece of pickled vegetables. Instead of cutting them into shreds, I cut them five pieces and kept them for a bite.

The kettle was filled with water and the equipment I had yesterday, so I left the house at 7 o'clock.

Wang Ailing and the others met halfway, "Xinyu, I'm going to find you. You can go and eat a bowl of porridge I made at home."

"Sister, I brought steamed buns, we don't have to go hungry today."

After entering the Wang family, their house was bigger than their own, and her house had six rooms. The layout was better than that of their own, and there were two rooms.

"Xinyu, come into the house to drink porridge."

Jiang Xinyu did not refuse, put the basket in the yard, took out the cloth bag, and entered the house.

"Auntie, this is the steamed bun I steamed last night. You can try it."

"Xinyu, keep it for lunch before eating." Wang Ailing snatched it and put it aside. "It's good to eat yam porridge this morning, but it's much better than the canteen's porridge and is even more sticky."

After the five people finished their meal, Wang Jianqiang asked the two girls to leave first. Their pace was slow, and Wang Xiaolong and his mother were able to catch up.

Jiang Xinyu thought it was quite funny, just like an underground party.

The two of them were talking and laughing, and greeting the villagers.

"You two are going to pick up firewood?"

"Well, it's okay now. It's better to save the cold winter." Wang Ailing smiled and touched.

After the two of them entered the mountain, less than ten minutes later, Wang Xiaolong and his mother caught up. The four of them accelerated. Moreover, today the Wang family brought four tricks, which should be easier to use than hatchets.

The four people started digging from ten o'clock, and Jiang Xinyu was the slowest, but she had already tried her best.

"Xinyu, don't worry, it's okay, you do it slowly, let's share these yams equally."

"Auntie, that's not enough. I can't eat that much by myself."

"Take it to you."

"It's really not necessary, auntie, just give me one-third of it then." Jiang Xinyu also understood the temperament of the Wang family, and they disdained to take advantage.

"I'll give you half."

"Auntie, if I give me half of it, I won't come tomorrow, I don't want it at all."

"You kid, okay, give me the keys and I will take the basket to your house."

"Great aunt, I'm taking advantage of it."

The three women talked and laughed, but did not delay their work.

By twelve o'clock, Jiang Xinyu invited the three of them to have dinner, and each gave them two big steamed buns and a piece of pickled cabbage.

The Wang family was not polite. Since they wanted to get closer, they would not have to mess with those empty and floating people. It would be better to be honest.

After dinner, the two girls were asked to put them in the basket and bag, and the mother and the two continued to work.

This is the best thing for this rural person. As long as there are benefits, he can really give up.

The two of them packed four baskets and had ten snakeskin bags they brought. Then they didn't rest and continued to dig.

It was not until four o'clock in the afternoon that Wang Jianqiang also arrived with his basket on his back, and there was a snakeskin bag in his basket.

The Wang family has a basket on each of them, and there are two snakeskin bags on it. They are more than 200 kilograms, right?

"You two don't have to worry, just fill the bags with them." Wang Jianqiang told them before leaving.

Jiang Xinyu hurriedly handed over the flashlight and her own key. This was the backlog she bought when she was staying in high school, which is the current aluminum-skinned flashlight.

Seeing the three of them leave, the two of them did not rest and hurriedly put the bags on. They still put the insurance on the daylight.

After pretending, "Xinyu, you can rest for a while, I will continue to dig."

"Sister, no, I can still hold on."

"I didn't expect that you, who has little arms and legs, can work well."

"I have to sacrifice myself for this stutter, just do it."

In fact, Wang Ailing wanted to go back and deliver yam with her, but Wang Jianqiang refused, so he left Jiang Xinyu with a child and was really worried. She was the only one left in her family, but there was no more mistakes.

The two dug for another two hours, and by this time it was already dark.

Pour each other water to wash their hands, Jiang Xinyu handed Wang Ailing a steamed bun, "Sister, I'll save you a little while."

"I won't eat anymore. My parents and my brother will come back later. I'll give them one."

"It's okay, we each have three left, one of us, so we're going to have a bumpy bite."

Wang Ailing was really hungry. She knew she had enough food for her family, so she was not polite. She took it and ate it in small bites. It was still quite cold in the mountains at night. The two of them were working just now, but they didn't feel anything. Now they sat down and sweated, and they felt that their backs were cold.
