The 1970s: The Educated Youth's Going to the Countryside Have Supplies

Chapter 31-40

Chapter 31 Picking Mountain Goods

After the rations were distributed, the normal working hours were resumed.

There was no important work in the day, just turning the fields and loosening the soil.

Then dig out the grass roots and the roots of the previous crops, pile them together to dry in the sun, and burn them when they are dry, which can also fertilize the soil. There is really no such thing as air pollution.

Not enough, we also have to pick farmyard manure from the manure squeezed by the team to the fields, and use it together with the chemical fertilizer issued by the commune, because we have to prepare to plant rapeseed and winter wheat.

Everything is going on in the community, not hurried or slow, not as urgent as the autumn harvest.

Qiao Qiaoqiao went up the mountain to pick mountain goods with the people from the Youth Academy in his free time. Perhaps after experiencing an encounter with a wild boar, the Yujiawan Brigade was much more cautious about entering the mountains.

Everyone went into the mountains in teams, used to carrying self-defense tools such as hatchets, and did not dare to go deeper.

Besides, no one dared to go to the deep mountains and old forests for many years. There were bushes and thorns, dense trees, and no human-made paths. Without tools, it was impossible to enter.

The children in the village were not allowed to go up the mountain. They could only pick firewood and find wild fruits at the foot of the mountain.

There were many pine trees in the mountains, and there were also hairy chestnuts and wild walnuts, as well as wild hawthorns and wild persimmon trees. Anyway, I heard that there were many wild fruits.

The new educated youths were picking these for the first time and didn't know much about them. Fang Wen and the old educated youths could understand the situation in the mountains very well.

Oh, hairy chestnuts are wild chestnuts. Like wild walnuts, they are much more abundant than American chestnuts and walnuts, but they are very fragrant.

Qiao Qingqing had eaten Fang Wen's stock, and they were all delicious when dried.

In her previous life, Qiao Qingqing liked to eat roasted chestnuts very much. This time, she knew there were chestnuts on the mountain, and she couldn't imagine the delicious chestnuts.

By the way, this time when they went into the mountains to pick mountain products, they knew that besides Liu Lan, she also liked to eat roasted chestnuts. With Yuan Lili, the two young ladies went into the mountains.

It was not that they did not take Liu Lan with them, but Liu Lan looked down on these mountain products, and she also knew that there were wild boars in the mountains, so she didn't want to go even more.

Liu Lan didn't go, and Yuan Lili wanted to go but was too embarrassed to ask, so she stayed.

Everyone was just being polite, and Liu Lan and the other two were free to go or not. Seeing that the two didn't go, they just cared.

Here, led by the old educated youth, Qiao Qingqing turned left and right in the mountains and walked along the path. They could see that the pine trees were becoming increasingly scarce, and the small cypress trees, a small misfortune, came uninvited. Recognize trees.

When they reached a hillside, everyone stopped.

Qiao Qingqing looked around. If she only recognized the trees in this forest, she might not recognize them, but it was easy to recognize chestnuts.
