The Orphan's Counterattack in the 1970s

Chapter 22 Going up the mountain

After taking a bath, Chen Xiaolin was in the mood to go shopping in the space. The corn and sweet potatoes she planted earlier were also ripe. It seemed that she would have to find time to take back the food.

Chen Xiaolin walked along the river to the orchard, which was filled with various fruit trees planted by Chen Xiaolin. Many fruit trees are blooming now, and it seems that she is not far away from achieving fruit freedom.

The chickens, ducks, and goslings that Chen Xiaolin bought when she was stocking up have grown up a lot, and the chickens have already laid eggs.

Chen Xiaolin picked up a nest of eggs within a few steps. She quickly used her mind to take out several large bamboo frames from the warehouse and picked up all the eggs into the frames.

After a while, Chen Xiaolin saw three large bamboo baskets full of eggs and laughed so hard that she couldn't even see her eyes.

After picking up the eggs, it was time for Chen Xiaolin to practice martial arts again. Now martial arts training has become a major thing she must do every day.

After practicing for an hour, Chen Xiaolin's clothes were soaked with sweat.

Chen Xiaolin took a shower in the space villa and went to bed. She planned to sleep in the space tonight, and when she woke up, she would go outside to collect corn and sweet potatoes.

Anyway, there are ten days in the space and only one day outside. This one night is enough for Chen Xiaolin to take back all the corn.

Chen Xiaolin worked hard in the space to collect food this night, and Shen Jiaojiao, who lives in the Educated Youth Home, did not sleep well tonight. Not only was there constant snoring in her dormitory, but the annoying mosquitoes were also there. Not letting her go, he bit her several times on her face, hands and feet.

Shen Jiaojiao regretted her impulsiveness more and more. Now she realized that going to the countryside was really so hard.

Liu Zhaodi was woken up by Shen Jiaojiao's tossing and turning in the middle of the night.

"Jiaojiao, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"There are so many mosquitoes, they bit me several times." Shen Jiaojiao said and felt like crying again. Why are there so many mosquitoes and they are buzzing all the time? How can I sleep?

"Come and sleep here with me. I have a mosquito net and I won't be bitten by mosquitoes." Liu Zhaodi was very glad that she brought her own mosquito net with her when she went to the countryside. Otherwise, there would be so many mosquitoes that she wouldn't be able to sleep at night.

"Thank you, Zhaodi."

"Go to sleep! We have one more day off tomorrow, and you can go to town to buy a mosquito net then,"

"Well! Good night"

"good evening."

The next day, Chen Xiaolin came out of the space before dawn. She had used the time difference in the space last night to finish harvesting the corn and sweet potatoes. After harvesting the food this time, Chen Xiaolin did not plan to plant food in the near future. It's really tiring.

Chen Xiaolin planned to plant medicinal materials on all the land in the space. As for the medicinal seeds, she had no choice but to dig them up in the mountains herself. Fortunately, before going to the countryside, she found a compendium of materia medica with pictures at the scrap collection station.

Chen Xiaolin took a bucket to the well in the backyard to get a bucket of water, and then started to wash up. She planned to go for a run outside and come back after washing up.

Daqingshan is quite big, and it took Chen Xiaolin more than half an hour to run this lap.

Back home, Chen Xiaolin cooked a pot of corn paste and took out two sesame cakes from the space. Chen Xiaolin was quite satisfied with the corn mush and sesame seed cakes.

Although Chen Xiaolin didn't like eating cornmeal very much, there was nothing she could do about it. She didn't have any food at home, so Chen Mu brought this cornmeal over yesterday.

Chen Xiaolin just came back yesterday and has been busy cleaning up her home. Her household registration transfer procedures have not been completed yet. So she planned to complete the household registration today, and then ask her uncle to assign her a relatively easy job. Even if the work points were small, Chen Xiaolin didn't care. Anyway, she had a lot of supplies and had a job of translating books.

When Chen Xiaolin came to the brigade headquarters, there were only two people in the office, Uncle Chen and Accountant Liu.

"Uncle, I have something to ask you."

Uncle Chen heard Chen Xiaolin's voice and saw Chen Xiaolin standing at the door of the office.

"Xiaolin, why are you here? Is there no food at home?" Uncle Chen planned to go back at night to get some food from home for Chen Xiaolin. Anyway, she is small and can't eat much.

"No, I came here today to confirm my household registration." Chen Xiaolin showed Uncle Chen all the household registration certificates she had brought.

"Just put your things here. After I finish them, I need to go to the commune to stamp them for you." Uncle Chen put all the certificates that Chen Xiaolin brought over in the drawer and locked them, and asked Chen Xiaolin to go back first.

Chen Xiaolin left the brigade headquarters and went straight up the mountain. As for going to work, she planned to talk to Uncle Chen in two days.

Today, Chen Xiaolin plans to go for a walk in the mountains. She plans to dig up some medicinal materials and plant them in the space.

Chen Xiaolin purposely bypassed the crowd and chose a less traveled path to continue walking inside. After walking for almost an hour, they stopped moving forward.

Along the way, Chen Xiaolin picked up a lot of stones of different sizes. She planned to use the stones to kill some pheasants to eat.

The original owner learned the skill of hunting pheasants with stones from Chen Dazhu. Every time Chen Dazhu came back, he would take Chen Xiaolin up the mountain to catch pheasants and hares.

In order to impress Chen Dazhu, the original owner secretly practiced at home for a long time.

Chen Xiaolin finally found a small lake. She knew that where there was water, there would be prey. Chen Xiaolin found a big tree and climbed up.

After a while, a dozen pheasants came towards the lake. Chen Xiaolin threw all the stones in her hand, but unfortunately, she only hit two.

It seems that the accuracy is still not good enough and needs to be practiced carefully. Chen Xiaolin picked up the pheasant and continued to climb the tree.

Chen Xiaolin stayed by the lake for almost an hour. She shot a dozen pheasants, eight hares, and a silly roe deer.

In the coming time, Chen Xiaolin no longer plans to hunt wild animals. She will look around to see if there are any medicinal materials.

When Chen Xiaolin dug up a lot of Polygonatum and Gastrodia elata and was about to go back, a familiar plant suddenly appeared in front of her.

Chen Xiaolin's main purpose of this trip was to find some valuable medicinal materials, so she deliberately read the Compendium of Materia Medica last night.

Chen Xiaolin walked over cautiously. For safety's sake, she took out some realgar and sprinkled it around to drive away certain molluscs.

Isn't this ginseng? Chen Xiaolin took out the Compendium of Materia Medica and compared it, and then she could confirm that what she was seeing was ginseng.

Chen Xiaolin took out a red rope from the space and tied it to the ginseng, then took out a shovel and started digging.

Chen Xiaolin planned to plant it in the space, so she simply dug out the surrounding soil. This way the digging speed was much faster.
