The life of a female cannon fodder

22

After the Unity Brigade completed the tasks of loosening the soil, weeding and fertilizing, they were ready to start planting corn and sweet potatoes. The task was relatively tight, but fortunately the brigade leader had arranged the team members in appropriate positions according to their respective strengths. In a matter related to food, the team members worked very hard. For a while, the whole brigade was working in full swing and the task was completed quickly.

In May and early autumn, several new educated youths were able to receive their own subsidies, and they could relax a little bit because of the tight food supply. During this period, the educated youths were all working in the fields. When they got off work, it was almost dark and they had no time to go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables and mushrooms. Instead, the children who did not have to work ran to the foot of the mountain with baskets every day. Yu Hongying sighed with envy when she saw them.

"Let's forget about the wild vegetables and mushrooms at the foot of the mountain." Zhang Yuanyuan was also envious. They had thought about trying their luck after getting off work, but the edible wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain had been dug up by the children, and the remaining ones were small and not yet grown. Picking them would not be enough to fill the gaps between teeth, and it would waste salt and firewood.

As for the mountains, the children dare not go, and the adults have no time to go. At present, we don't know what the situation is.

"How about we get up early tomorrow and go to the mountain to have a look?" Hu Weiguo suggested. Now is the time when there is a shortage of food. Usually, you can still eat wild vegetables, but now there is not even a bit of green in the bowl.

"I'm afraid it won't work. It's too early and it's still dark. I can't see the road. I have to go to work later." Now we are racing against time. There is no time for you to go to the mountain to pick wild vegetables and mushrooms.

Jiang Yue looked at the mushrooms that Li Qiu was raising in the corner and his eyes lit up: "I think Li Zhiqing's mushrooms are growing well. How about this, tomorrow, except for the comrades who cook, all other comrades go to the mountain to have a look. The male comrades go to the mountain together to bring back some wood that can grow mushrooms, and the female educated youth can also help pick up some firewood. I think the firewood in the kitchen is not enough."

The other educated youths didn't pay attention to Li Qiu's mushrooms. After hearing what Jiang Yue said, they all looked at the corner where the mushrooms were raised. A standing wood was filled with mushrooms of all sizes.

"Oh my God, how did Li Zhiqing grow so many mushrooms?" When they were moved down before, there were only a few small flowers that had not yet emerged.

Facing the curious eyes of the educated youth, Li Qiu lowered her head and acted shy: "I just water it every morning and evening to keep it moist." And every day I use the wood-type supernatural power to nourish the mushrooms, but I can't tell you about this.

Zhang Zhiyuan gave her a thumbs up: "Li educated youth, you are amazing." Looking at the delicate and weak girl, I didn't expect that she was not only good at working in the fields, but also good at raising mushrooms. It really doesn't matter how good a person is.

"Originally, I was thinking that since Yu Zhiqing is good at cooking, I would pick the mushrooms and let Yu Zhiqing cook a delicious meal for everyone to enjoy. But now there are so many mushrooms that they will not grow anymore if we don't eat them. Let's pick them first and eat them tonight?"

"Okay." The other Zhiqing agreed, looking at the pile of mushrooms with shining eyes, finally there are fresh mushrooms to eat. Wei Kangmei took the lead and took a basin to pick mushrooms. Others responded and started to help. For a while, the Zhiqing courtyard was particularly lively.
