Rebirth in the 1970s with Space

Chapter 90 Bustling Mountains

The autumn harvest season was a fulfilling and joyful time for the villagers, as they worked together. Every household stored a lot of food. After the collective harvest was over, Zhang Xue and Zhang Baoguo began to plan to build a brick and tile factory in the village, hoping to have it built before winter.

The straw and bamboo mats that Zhang Qingzhu ordered from the village were also delivered soon after the autumn harvest. Aunt Hehua also brought her mother to pick out the quilt cover and red cloth that Zhang Qingzhu had, which were things for the wedding.

Originally, when Aunt Hehua went back to her parents' home and told her family that Zhang Qingzhu only had some defective items left, her family thought it was not good to use defective items for a wedding, so they did not come to exchange them with Zhang Qingzhu.

As a result, they didn't buy all the items they needed for the wedding until after the autumn harvest. They lived in the countryside and couldn't compete with people living in the city.

Even if people in the city didn't have connections in the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores, they lived closer to the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores than the villagers.

Since the supply and marketing cooperatives in the communes were not as high-ranking as those in the counties and cities, the good things were often distributed before they reached the communes. If the villagers wanted to buy good things, they had to rely on luck most of the time.

When Aunt Lotus's mother saw the defective items that Zhang Qingzhu brought out, she couldn't let them go. The defective items that Zhang Qingzhu brought out had small flaws, and the patterns were all crooked or wrongly printed.

Such fabrics do not hinder people's use at all, and they do not require cloth coupons. In this era, these things are sometimes difficult to buy without connections. Aunt Hehua's mother was very satisfied with the fabrics she saw, and without saying a word, she chose several pieces of fabrics that she liked from the things Zhang Qingzhu took out.

The things Zhang Qingzhu took out were indeed from this era, many of which were distributed as employee benefits at the textile factory or bought in Huaiguo.

Feng Baizhi bought these things to give as gifts, especially to relatives in the countryside, giving these things as gifts was very respectable.

Now Zhang Qingzhu no longer needs these things, so she takes them out to exchange with villagers. This way she can live a more peaceful life in the village with less trouble.

Aunt Hehua and her mother came with trepidation, but returned with satisfaction. After arriving in the village, they kept it a secret and didn't tell anyone, thinking that the fewer people who knew, the better.

In this way, the fewer people know that Zhang Qingzhu has good things, the more chances they will have to exchange for good things in the future. If someone has a few relatives or friends who have children of marriageable age who are about to get married, then if they need something, Zhang Qingzhu will be the first choice.

After sending the people away, Zhang Qingzhu asked Feng Chong to gather people to clean up the house. Since there were a lot of people available, there was no need to be polite to Feng Yanhua and the others.

After Zhang Qingzhu and Feng Yanhua had a detailed discussion, some people from the Feng family moved directly into Zhang Qingzhu's house. Fortunately, although Zhang Qingzhu's yard was not the largest in the village, it was not small either.

In order to have a good place to process herbs in the yard, Zhang Qingzhu built two large warehouses in the yard when he built the corridor. Both warehouses are designed with earthen beds, which are usually used to dry herbs or maintain the temperature inside.

But after it was built, the herbs were not moved in yet, so the Feng family moved in first. After the autumn harvest, the weather was getting colder and colder, and living in a cave was not as comfortable as living in a house or on a kang.

It took Feng Chong and his men less than half a day to tidy up the house according to Zhang Qingzhu's idea. Zhang Qingzhu looked at the final product and was very satisfied. The environment in the house immediately improved a lot and looked much more comfortable than before.

As the autumn harvest came to an end, the work on the farms in the village gradually decreased, and the village was busy building a factory. For the youth workers at the educated youth camp, the requirements for going to work were lowered.

As long as they felt they had enough work points to ensure they would not go hungry the next year and did not need to borrow food from the village, the educated youth could go to the brigade headquarters to ask for leave and no longer have to work.

The brigade did not have many requirements for the educated youth. As long as they did not leave the village and go home without permission, the brigade would not care about anything else. The villagers and leaders of Zhangjiapo Brigade were very friendly to the educated youth.

As soon as the village's regulations were notified to the youth work center, all the newly arrived youth workers asked for leave and said they would not go to work. After that, they began to go to the mountains in groups of three or four from time to time, and when they returned to the youth work center, they would bring back some firewood or mountain products.

The villagers looked at the new educated youth's actions and thought that they were really capable. It seemed that they would not have to buy firewood from the villagers for the winter.

Each of these new educated youth had their own purpose in going to the mountains. After arriving at Zhangjiapo Brigade, they had been tied down by farm work and could not move freely, and they all wanted to have some harvest before winter came.

So sometimes they would even stay in the mountains at night, hoping to go further. After they frequently went into the mountains, they were discovered by many people.

In the eyes of those who care, it is understandable that Zhang Qingfeng and his companions went up the mountain, but it is intriguing that Ji Jing and Jin Shicheng were also wandering around in the mountain.

Two of them were wandering around in the mountain with everyone else without knowing it. Cai Shan saw Ji Jing wandering around in the mountain, so she followed Ji Jing.

Su Wei simply saw that the new educated youth were all wandering around in the mountains, and she would feel out of place if she didn't follow them, so she followed them around the mountains and stocked up on some firewood and mountain products so that she would have enough firewood and snacks to eat during the winter.

Everyone else had their own goals, but because they were all active in the mountains, they were much more careful every time they took action, for fear that others would notice anything unusual about them.

Every time they returned to the educated youth site, they would bring back firewood or mountain products. When the old educated youth saw this, they also started to go to the mountains one by one to prepare things for the winter.

In this atmosphere, the villagers came to join in the fun. Because when the brick and tile factory was built, it was reported that the factory might need firewood, so the villagers organized many people to go to the mountain to collect firewood.

As a result, more and more people were active in the mountains near Zhangjiapo Brigade, so the major families in Taolin County also sent more people into the mountains to see what was causing the mountains to become more and more lively.

In this way, more and more people were active in the mountains and forests near Zhangjiapo Brigade. Even the mountains near Zhang Qingzhu's home were bustling with people coming and going.

This made Zhang Qingzhu afraid to go to the underground cave, for fear that others would accidentally find out that something was wrong. Although she had set up an illusion array there, if someone disappeared in one place for too long, people would still find something unusual.

Especially nowadays, people have a stronger ability to detect abnormalities. Each of them has extraordinary eyesight and great observation skills.
