Chapter 41
After the autumn harvest, the grain was divided. Even various valuable crops, leaves, and vines were distributed. The Yun family, consisting of six members, received nearly 800 kilograms of "grain."
After Zhao Yueji and Yun Haisheng separated the sweet potato sprouts and tall crop stalks, the actual amount of grain totaled only 500 kilograms. This amount had to last until the next summer. Even if they tightened their belts, it wouldn't be enough to sustain them.
The Yun family was considered fortunate because they had more girls, and girls generally required less food than boys. However, many households with a larger number of laborers might not have enough food for the winter.
Due to a poor harvest, the autumn harvest ended early this year. The team organized an expedition into the mountains more than half a month ahead of schedule. Yun Haisheng and his family followed the group into the deep mountains.
Yes, this year, the entire team, regardless of age, joined the expedition into the mountains. Even children like Yun Xiaolu participated.
After a summer and autumn of "scavenging" in the outskirts of the mountains, there was hardly anything left to find. In order to fill their stomachs, they had to take risks.
The team divided all the members into small groups, increasing the danger as they entered the mountains. Therefore, the men were also given weapons from the militia.
It was the first time for Yun Xiaolu and the twins to venture so deep into the mountains. The novelty completely overshadowed the unknown dangers. The small group they belonged to originally had only twenty-something adults, but with the addition of the elderly and children, it became a "large group" of over fifty people.
The Zhao family also organized a group of people to enter the mountains this year. However, they were heading to a more distant location, so Chuncheng and Hanshi did not come to the Yun family this time.
Since Yun Haisheng was the squad leader, he naturally led their small group. However, they only ventured into the deep mountains a few times a year, so Yun Haisheng relied on his instincts to find the right direction.
At the beginning, the young and middle-aged were at the front of the group, while the children and elderly were at the back. But as they walked and stopped to gather resources, families naturally gathered and walked together. The mountain paths became more treacherous, and it was normal for adults to stick together to watch over the children.
So, when they reached a certain point, Yun Haisheng would call for a headcount by families. There were a total of a dozen households, and each household took care of its own members. As long as no one was left behind, no one would be lost.
With this opportunity to venture deep into the mountains alongside Little Qinyin's mother, Xu Nianyun took the initiative and selected the "best" direction based on the system's statistics of mountain resources. Before entering the mountains, Yun Xiaolu "sensed" the direction for Yun Haisheng.
After coming in, Xu Nianyun pointed out all the mountain products that could be collected. Although they couldn't monopolize everything this time, the total quantity was substantial, and each family gathered a considerable amount.
At least half a day had passed, and Yun Haisheng and Zhao Yueji had filled their large baskets with half of chestnuts and hazelnuts, respectively. The children also collected a good amount.
Yun Xiaolu's task this time wasn't focused on food. Previously, Xu Nianyun had lamented the fact that some valuable medicinal herbs in the mountains were out of reach. So, taking advantage of everyone's collective action, she seized the opportunity to collect them.
