Hard times have room

Chapter 281
Here, Pauline walked quickly to the station with her schoolbag on her back, and after getting into the car back to Red Star Town, her heart, which had been beating endlessly along the way, finally settled down.

Her parents should have already left by now. It seems that her father said that he would take the morning car to go, and now he doesn't know where he is.

However, the people from the same village went together, so she felt more at ease. Hundreds of people signed up for the group, and they would never be bullied by others.

That's right, there are hundreds of people. There are more than 200 households in the entire Shanghe Village, with a population of more than 50 people. People in the age group of [-] to [-] account for at least half of the village.

At 02:30, after the front master reported the time limit, he moved his right hand, and the car made a "rumbling" sound. After a while, it started slowly and drove towards home.

As the car got closer and closer to Hongxing Town, Pauline's heart became more and more quiet, until she unconsciously leaned forward and the car stopped.

Bao Lin got out of the car clutching her schoolbag and looked at this familiar place. Her sense of belonging here seemed to have gone with the departure of Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang.

Along the way, I am very familiar, but I always feel that my heart is not settled, and there will be an inexplicable rejection of people and things that pass by.

Shaking her head, Pauline started running with her schoolbag in her arms. It was four o'clock in the afternoon, and the long-lost sun was shining on her head. She stopped panting after running for less than 10 minutes. He took out a bamboo tube in the space, filled it with clear well water, and drank it all in one gulp. Sure enough, after running, his heart was beating violently, and this feeling was much better than before.

Just walking and running like this, it was past five o'clock when Pauline got home.

She walked all the way home without seeing anyone. She should have gone to the fields. Now that most of the young people in the village are gone, all the work in the fields depends on the old and young who are left behind. .

As soon as Pauline got home, she closed the door to the yard. She didn't want people to know that she was back, she still had a lot of things to do at home!

After opening the door of the main room, Pauline closed it again. Although the light in the room is still a little dark, it does not affect her activities.

First, she went to her parents' house, and after opening the door, she looked at the familiar big bed and its furnishings, tears welling up in her eyes, thinking that they were not at home, she felt uncomfortable.

After wiping away her tears, Pauline still moved. The clay pot with mushrooms at home was put away in the storage space. The clothes were under the box, and the sacks with wild vegetables were put away.

Under the bed, I took a stick and probed it. It was fine. There was no pit, and there was no loose or uneven soil that had been dug. It seemed that her parents didn't have time to dig.

After putting away the food, Pauline looked at the quilts her parents put on the bed, especially the big quilts that were placed at the end of the bed and used to cover them in winter. It's hard to get them now, and there's no shortage of them at home.

There were also small items such as oil lamps, candles, sewing boxes, and Pauline kept them all away.

Now everyone in the village knows the situation of her family. Wang Jiandang and his wife are not at home. The only girl is still studying in the county town. This is a big fat meat. You can take a bite when you come in. Who wouldn't be tempted!
It's been fine these few days. People just left. She guessed that those who have ideas will not choose to do it right away. After a few days, it won't be sure. Move it out for you, anyway, this place is so remote, there is nothing to do, and they are not allowed to come and go freely.

After tidying up her parents' house, Pauline locked the door again and went to her own house.

First, remove the soil in the place where the big vat was buried, and put everything inside into the space.

After Paulin checked them one by one, she didn't see any brown sugar in it, and there was even a lot less rice. She was very happy about that. It seemed that her father had listened to her words.

There is quite a lot of food in it. When she opened the lid, it was full of food. There should be [-] to [-] pounds. There were a lot of things, including rice, beans, peanuts, peas, broad beans, and sweet potatoes.

After this thing is installed by her, she can't keep the seeds. She has to pay attention to this.

The things in her own house, the clothes, the bed, etc., were not cleaned up, and she will live in the next few days!

Next, Paulin went to the back room, and it turned out to be empty and empty. She opened the food box at home, and there were three or four sweet potatoes in it.

After finishing all these things, Pauline went to the vegetable field at the back of the house. There were sweet potatoes from home, some ginger and garlic peppers, and a few pumpkins. They were all over the place, and they were growing very well.

The pumpkin on the pumpkin vine is a little yellow, but it is not completely yellow, and it is not completely old. If the pumpkin is completely yellow and orange, and the skin becomes very smooth and tough, put it under the bed and pass it over. It is no problem to eat a little more for half a year.

However, this time, she has to pick those who have grown up, otherwise, it will definitely be cheaper for others.

Sweet Potato Pauline ignored it for now, but started at those peppers, ginger, garlic pumpkins or something.

The green peppers are picked, and the red ones will not be missed. She picks all the peppers and puts them on a dustpan to dry them. It is also good to take them out for cooking and soup in the cold winter.

For the ginger and garlic, the top leaves have turned yellow, and the bottom leaves have fallen off and died. These are completely mature, and Pauline dug them out without any hesitation.

For garlic, peel off the innermost layers of leaves that are still tender. She will use it for cooking. The rest will be put together by Pauline, and she will put it in the space when it is dried.

As for the ginger, Pauline just put it in the main room, let it hang out first, and put it on when you want to leave.

Pumpkin Paulin never let go, whether it was a ripe melon that grew and turned yellow, or a green tender melon the size of a palm, she never let go.

Originally, I planned to keep this little melon. After all, it hasn't grown yet. It's a pity to pick it now, but as long as she thought that when she left, these melons would be cheap to others, she couldn't help herself. Hand, I can't eat it today, but I can take it out next year and eat it again. It's not wasted at all.

Besides, according to the current situation, it is still a question whether the pumpkin will be eaten next year. It has not been a peaceful life in the past few years.

After putting away all the things that were planted in the corners, it was getting dark today. Paulin didn't dare to delay, so she went home and went to the kitchen to cook.

I took out the fish head left over from making fish sauce a month ago and boiled the soup. It was milky white and milky white, mixed with fresh mushrooms and scalded.
