"I can only ask for you. I can't control whether he helps you or not." Chen Xiaolin is still willing to help with such a small matter. As for whether Chen Sen is willing to help change dried fruits, Chen Xiaolin will not force Chen Sen to do it. Forest.

"Xiao Lin, ask your cousin for me, I also want to change to some dried fruits." Liu Zhaodi thought of her greedy little brother, and wondered if he missed her.

"Okay, I'll write to him when spring starts and ask him." Chen Xiaolin doesn't want to go to the county town during this period. If she has anything to do, she can wait until spring.

After the Chinese New Year, Chen Xiaolin rarely goes out of her house.

Just when Chen Xiaolin was having fun playing in the space, spring came.

After the snow melted and the ground thawed, the horn at the brigade headquarters sounded.

"Dear fellow villagers, the land has thawed now, and our spring plowing is coming soon. Starting from tomorrow, work will resume in our village. We will have a meeting at the threshing floor on time at six o'clock tomorrow morning. I hope everyone will not be late. "Uncle Chen said this three times and then turned off the loudspeaker. Fortunately, the village party secretary. It is equipped with such a loudspeaker, otherwise he would have to go door to door to notify them to start work.

Chen Xiaolin had been resting all winter, and she still couldn't react when she suddenly received the notice to start work.

The next day, Chen Xiaolin was woken up by the alarm clock. She opened the door and saw that it was still dark.

This winter, she has been running and boxing in the space every day. Now that she is going back to work, she might as well resume her previous exercise habits in winter.

After running and boxing, Chen Xiaolin heated up two steamed buns and ate them while walking to the threshing floor.

After being lazy all winter, most people in the village were late today.

Uncle Chen was holding a loudspeaker to maintain order. When everyone lined up, Uncle Chen began to divide the work.

"Today the first to third teams will plow the fields, and the rest will dig."

The newly thawed ground was still very hard. After digging for half an hour, Chen Xiaolin felt her hands hurt.

When she got home in the evening, Chen Xiaolin felt that her arms were about to become useless. She particularly missed the mini-tiller of her previous life. This era was still too backward.

After just ten days of busy work, the first holiday after the start of work was ushered in.

Chen Xiaolin had a lot of things to do during this holiday. She not only had to go to the commune with Chen Mu to pick out piglets, but she also had to mail the translated books back to the capital.

Today, Chen Xiaolin rode a bicycle to the commune by herself. She planned to buy the piglets and bring them back with Chen Mu's help, and then she would stop by the county town.

During this time, because of Maodong, she has not been to the county town to sell goods for a long time.

When Chen Xiaolin arrived at the commune pig farm, Chen Mu was already waiting for her there.

"Brother, why are you so fast?"

"Don't I want to pick out the piglets early!" Chen Mu came here with a very important task today. Not only did he need to buy piglets for his own family, he also needed to buy them for the village.

"Then let's fight it quickly. This pig farm really stinks."

Chen Mu took Chen Xiaolin to find the person in charge of the pig farm.

"Uncle Zhao, we are here to see you today."

"Oh, it's the boy from the Chen family! Where is your father? Why didn't he come here today?" Zhao Hong and Uncle Chen are old acquaintances. In the past years, Uncle Chen would come to pick out the piglets in the village himself.

"He didn't have time these two days, so I had to help him choose. This is my cousin Chen Xiaolin. Her pig-raising skills are amazing. The pigs she raised last year weighed almost 200 kilograms when they were less than five months old." Chen Mu was so boastful about Chen Xiaolin, who said that Chen Xiaolin's skills in raising pigs were so good.

"Oh, I hope she can raise fatter pigs this year." Zhao Hong obviously didn't believe that Chen Xiaolin's skills in raising pigs were so good. He thought that Chen Mu was just exaggerating to make his cousin happy.

"That's for sure. When I kill the pig, I will treat Uncle Zhao to the pig meat." Chen Xiaolin knew that whether she could buy piglets today would depend on whether the person in charge would facilitate it, so she took it out of her pocket. A pack of cigarettes was placed in Zhao Hong's hand.

"It can't be helped. This little girl is really too polite." Zhao Hong looked at the Hongta Mountain in his hand and smiled more sincerely.

"It's not that no one smokes at home. It's a waste to leave cigarettes unused. Why don't I give them to you, Uncle Zhao, and you can treat me like you're helping me solve my trouble."

"Then I'll shamelessly accept it. Later you can get whichever pig you like. You can choose the piglets in the pig farm." Seeing Chen Xiaolin's approach, Zhao Hong simply waved his hand and took the piglet. Chen Xiaolin and the others signed the approval slip for buying piglets.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhao!"

"Thank you, Uncle Zhao!"

Chen Xiaolin and Chen Mu felt happy when they saw that the matter was completed so quickly.

Chen Xiaolin picked the two most energetic piglets for herself and marked the backs of the pigs' butts, fearing that they would be confused with the pigs in the village when she returned.

Chen Mu picked a total of thirty-two pigs, including thirty piglets from the village.

Chen Xiaolin went directly to the county town after coming out of the pig farm. After mailing the letter at the county post office, she went to the secret base to put on makeup and change clothes.

Today, Chen Xiaolin mainly wants to sell pork and eggs. Of course, she can also sell a few watches to those who need them.

Chen Xiaolin came to the dormitory of the machinery factory. This time she was not as lucky as last time. She didn't meet any acquaintances.

She could only ask a random lady for directions, and pretended to accidentally let others see the big fat thing in her backpack.

"Auntie, do you know how to get to He Dazhu's house in the machinery factory?"

"There is no such person in the machinery factory. Did you remember the wrong address?" Aunt Feng has lived here for half her life and has never heard of He Dazhu. However, I wonder if the meat in this young man's backpack can be exchanged for himself. The family has not eaten meat for almost half a month, and the eldest grandson has been clamoring for meat every day during this period.

"But my dad asked me to bring him some pork, and it looks like I have to carry it back again." Chen Xiaolin pretended to be disappointed that she didn't find anyone, and was about to turn around and go back.

"Young man, don't leave in a hurry. Why don't you give me the pork in exchange? After all, you have already carried it here. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to carry it back?" Aunt Feng's eyes lit up. This young man must be selling pork. .

"Well, I have twenty pounds of pork belly and fifty eggs here. How about I sell them to you cheaply and let you make a little money." Chen Xiaolin walked to Aunt Feng and lowered her voice.

"Then how much can you get cheaper?" Aunt Feng rolled her eyes and felt that this matter could indeed be done.

"Twenty kilograms of pork will cost you twenty-four yuan, and fifty eggs will cost you five yuan. You have to know that on the black market, good pork belly costs one and a half kilograms, and eggs cost between one and a half cents." "

Aunt Feng thought for a moment and agreed. She asked Chen Xiaolin to wait at the door for a while, and she hurried home.
