The Orphan's Counterattack in the 1970s

Chapter 36 Cutting Pigweed

Not long after Chen Xiaolin waited for Goudan to leave, she came over to find Shen Jiaojiao and Liu Zhaodi with a few sweet potatoes she had left aside.

"Zhaodi, Jiaojiao, open the door for me quickly."

"Xiaolin, where did you go this afternoon? When I went to look for you, I saw that you were not at home. Are those roasted sweet potatoes in your basket? It smells so good!" Liu Zhaodi opened the door and saw Chen Xiaolin holding a small basket. Roasted sweet potatoes taste amazing.

"I went up the mountain in the afternoon, why are you looking for me?" Chen Xiaolin handed the basket to Liu Zhaodi, which she had specially left for Liu Zhaodi to give to Shen Jiaojiao. Although sweet potatoes are not valuable, it is rare to eat roasted sweet potatoes in the city.

"Xiao Lin, your roasted sweet potatoes are so delicious." This is Liu Zhaodi's first time eating roasted sweet potatoes! In the past, we used to cook sweet potato porridge or steam it at home.

"If you like it, you can bake it more during winter." Chen Xiaolin doesn't like sweet potatoes very much. She doesn't want to fart all day long.

"By the way, Xiaolin, Chen Hangyu and Li Ran want to ask you if there are any houses available for rent in this village. They also want to move out." Liu Zhaodi almost forgot what Chen Hangyu told her yesterday.

"I don't know either? But I remember that the old Orion's house seems to be empty. Ask them to ask my uncle." Chen Xiaolin thought that the old Orion's house was really nice, but it was just a little too close to the foot of the mountain. Anyway, Li Ran and I Chen Hangyu, two grown men, has nothing to fear.

"Okay, I'll tell them when they come to pick up the package."

"Well, you can figure it out!" Chen Xiaolin had a good impression of Chen Hangyu, so she was willing to help. If it was Li Ran alone, Chen Xiaolin felt that she would not meddle in others' affairs.

Chen Xiaolin chatted with Liu Zhaodi for a few more words and then left. It was getting late now, and she had to go back to boil water for a bath.

When Aunt Chen came home and saw the beggar's chicken, she felt really distressed. If this pheasant was used for cooking, with some potatoes and mushrooms, it could fill a large plate.

It's really a pity that it's cooked now. Aunt Chen can only cut the chicken out and continue to stew the potatoes with the chicken bones, so that it can get a little meaty flavor.

After Aunt Chen finished cooking, the rest of the family came back one after another.

When Goudan saw Chen Mu walking into the door of his house, he ran over and hugged his thigh. "Dad, my little aunt and I went to hunt pheasants today. You don't know how good my little aunt is. With just such a hiss, the pheasant fell to the ground and couldn't move

"Then did you catch a pheasant?" Chen Mu knew his cousin's ability, so he had no objection to her going up the mountain. As long as she didn't go deep into the mountain, there would be no problem at all.

"I don't have one. My aunt said she will teach me how to use a slingshot in the future. When I learn how to do it, I can hit pheasants." Goudan is already looking forward to learning how to use a slingshot to hit pheasants. He will have a chicken leg in his left hand and a chicken leg in his right hand. Looks like chicken legs.

"Then I'm looking forward to the pheasant you brought back, come on!" Chen Mu saw that Goudan was so confident, so he didn't hit him. If it was so easy to learn, there would be no shortage of meat at home. Chen Mu also learned from Chen Dazhu back then, but after learning for so long, he still couldn't hit 100% of the shots, and pheasants can fly, so they are not that easy to hit at all.

Uncle Chen's family couldn't stop laughing when they heard Goudan's rhetoric. Everyone is now looking at the fragrant beggar's chicken, looking forward to eating a few more pieces of meat tonight.

Uncle Chen's family happily ate a meaty meal, even sharing the remaining dozen or so roasted sweet potatoes.

Chen Xiaolin waited until it was completely dark, then locked the door and entered the space.

Although Chen Xiaolin has been going up the mountain to look for medicinal materials in the past few days, a small part of the land in the space has just been planted.

Chen Xiaolin saw that it would be a waste to have this empty land, so she planned to plant watermelons on it.

Chen Xiaolin has never grown watermelons, so she plans to raise seedlings first just like growing vegetables

She took out a packet of watermelon seeds from the space and scattered them casually on the dug black soil.

After Chen Xiaolin finished planting watermelons, she hurriedly went to pick up eggs. Stop by to see her chicks, ducklings and goslings.

Just yesterday, the eggs that Chen Xiaolin hatched using a machine had broken their shells. She hatched a total of 60 chicks, 20 ducklings, and 15 goslings.

Chen Xiaolin came to the orchard and saw that the peaches, plums, lychees, and longans were all ripe.

Chen Xiaolin sighed deeply. It seemed that she was going to have another hard night tonight.

Fortunately, Chen Xiaolin only planted a few of each fruit, otherwise she might not be able to pick all the fruits.

One night outside, five days passed in space. By the time Chen Xiaolin came out of the space, it was already broad daylight.

Chen Xiaolin stretched her body. She was exhausted this night. Fortunately, the fruits picked in the space could be put into the warehouse with her mind. Otherwise, if she had to carry them back basket by basket, she might have gone on strike long ago.

Chen Xiaolin felt that sleeping in the space was really comfortable. She only slept for five hours, and she felt more energetic than sleeping outside all night.

Chen Xiaolin got up late today and had no time to go for a run. She punched in the yard before getting ready to go to work.

Two days ago, Chen Xiaolin had already agreed with Uncle Chen that starting from today, Chen Xiaolin would go hunting pigweed.

Daqingshan Village is quite wealthy, with more than 30 pigs raised in the village.

Chen Xiaolin took a new sickle and a backpack, and walked up the mountain with the military kettle she took out from the space.

Although she rarely returned to her hometown before, she was familiar with pigweed. After all, when she was a child, she and Grandma Chen went up the mountain to cut pigweed several times.

Chen Xiaolin came alone to the creek where she hunted pheasants yesterday. She saw yesterday that the hogweed growing by the river was plentiful and tender.

In less than half an hour, Chen Xiaolin had packed a basket full of pigweed. She planned to harvest two baskets of hogweed a day and earn two work points a day.

She can do what she wants to do in the afternoon, and she won't be tied to work.

Chen Xiaolin was carrying a basket of pig grass and happened to meet Shen Jiaojiao in the pig shed.

"Jiaojiao, have you finished killing pigweed?"

"No! Xiaolin, why are you here to cut pigweed? If I had known I would be waiting for you in the morning." Shen Jiaojiao was originally very embarrassed to cut pigweed with a group of children, but now she saw Chen Xiaolin really Delighted.

"I started late today. Please wait for me. I'll go find the people in the pig shed to record the work points. We'll go cut the pig grass together later." Chen Xiaolin felt a little bored by herself, so she planned to wait for a while. Let's go with Shen Jiaojiao. Anyway, both of them are good at work.

Chen Xiaolin found Mrs. Wang, who managed the pig shed, and asked her to record her work points for her. Then she poured out the pigweed in the basket and left.
