Hello, I'm He Yuzhu

Chapter 405 Giant Baby Li Hongxia (Subscribe)
The sun after the rain is particularly bright, a rainbow across the blue sky, as if smiling to the earth
On this day, the clouds and mist were finally cleared to see the sunny sky.

At the request of the factory manager, a hundred women comrades gathered in several workshops, and under the leadership of Li Hongjun, they went out of the city through the front gate to dig wild vegetables in the countryside outside the city.

All of them were holding small shovels and sacks.

Dashuan and Feng Xiaomei were the only ones in the cafeteria.

Li Hongjun worked as a hands-off shopkeeper and handed over the workers to Dashuan and Feng Xiaomei to direct them. Many women knew many kinds of edible wild vegetables without being taught.

Outside the city, many places have become a swamp country, the water level of the wild lake has risen, and many small fish and horseshoe crabs can be seen in the turbid muddy water.

Horseshoe crab: Commonly known as bastard, water turtle, it looks extremely disgusting.

Li Hongjun felt that he had miscalculated. He should have someone sew a big simple fishing net out of sacks, and then he could make fish soup for the workers.

Although the ground was muddy, they still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the workers. Everyone stopped in front of an unknown dirt mountain, and the army of hundreds of people began to squat on the ground and pick up wild vegetables with their hands, because even rainy days loosened the soil on the ground, so there was no need small shovel.

"Miss Xiaomei, Dashuan, let's find some time to go to the reservoir in Yanping Commune to catch fish and shrimp, and dig some wild vegetables to feed the chickens and ducks."

Li Hongjun squinted his eyes and looked at the scorching sun: "After this heavy rain, I'm afraid food will be even more expensive. If we don't start early, it will be too late when everyone comes out to find food."

Dashuan: "No problem, but when the time comes to transport them back to the city like this?"

Li Hongjun said with a smile: "The mountain people have their own tricks!"

There are all kinds of wild vegetables all over the mountain, and this thing is not heavy. It didn't take long for everyone to dig a whole sack.

"Da Shuan, you go back to the factory and ask the transport team to line up a truck and bring some sacks along the way."

"Red Army, let others go back!"

Da Shuan was a little worried about him. Although there were no wild animals in the outskirts of the city, snakes were the most common in the grass and shrubs this season.

Li Hongjun wanted to take everyone to the mountains, but after thinking about it, he agreed with Dashuan's proposal.

Then Li Hongjun left some people to look at the wild vegetables, and led most of them to the deep mountains with thick roots and lush leaves.

"I found it... I found it..."

Someone discovered the target of this trip, the mountain fungus.

The wild wild fungus is small, but Li Hongjun doesn't care. It's good to make soup or cold salad.

Everyone started squatting on the ground to pick fungus, and some people discovered mushrooms one after another. We all know that mushrooms are poisonous, and we can only rely on a few experienced people to identify them slowly.

"snake···"

Some lesbians screamed in fright after discovering the snake.

Da Shuan ran over quickly and saw it was a non-poisonous cauliflower snake. He swung the stick in his hand violently and smashed the snake's head.

When many people saw this bloody scene, they felt sick and wanted to retch.

Under everyone's surprised eyes, Dashuan cheerfully picked up the one-meter-long snake and said with a smile, "Tsk tsk, I can add a meat dish when I go home tonight!"

Li Hongjun also smiled and said: "You can stew a snake soup, and then make a salt and pepper snake skin."

After the rain, the hares also came out to look for food. A female worker caught a hare, and she was ecstatic at first, because taking it home would allow her family, who hadn’t seen meat in months, to eat meat.

But when he thought that this time was a collective action, the one who had to hand in all the gains had another look of decadence, and couldn't help sighing.

Li Hongjun understood her thoughts.

"Eldest sister, we came out to dig wild vegetables. You caught this hare yourself, which is a surprise. Since you caught this hare, it belongs to you. Go home!"

After the words fell, many people showed envious eyes.

Why wasn't he the one who caught the hare?

Although hares have little meat, they are still meat anyway.

The sun sets in the west.

Li Hongjun walked out of the mountains with everyone who had gained a lot.

Two large trucks came to the factory very thoughtfully, one was used to transport wild vegetables, and the other was used to pull people.

Li Hongjun naturally had to sit in the co-pilot, as well as Feng Xiaomei.

Da Shuan got on another truck, and the rest of them could only stand on the back of the truck.

Back in the cafeteria before get off work, Li Hongjun asked everyone to wash and chop the cornmeal, and steamed the steamed buns with cornmeal.

Of course, he went to the back kitchen to get a bowl of meat oil, and steamed a pot of wild vegetable dumplings for the factory leader. Wild vegetable dumplings are wild vegetables wrapped in cornmeal and steamed in a pot.

The fungus was chopped to make dozens of barrels of fungus soup, and the fungus was made cold for the factory leaders.

There are not many mushrooms, so he decides to let everyone share a share, and he can't let these follow in vain.

For dinner, the factory leaders ate wild vegetable dumplings and cold fungus, and they were all full of praise.

The workers ate the wild vegetable steamed bread, which can be regarded as an extra green in the meal. The most important thing is the fungus soup. There were not a few shreds of vegetable leaves in the previous vegetable soup.

The factory manager came to the kitchen to find him after dinner.

"Red Army, I think this operation of digging wild vegetables can continue!"

"Director, don't embarrass me, let me, a big man, lead a group of women out to dig wild vegetables every day..."

"Red Army, you know what's going on now. The grain ration has been reduced again and again. A general worker only has a ration of 24 catties of grain per month. The 24 catties of grain are almost all coarse grains, with a lot of dried sweet potatoes mixed in. It's also difficult!"

"I'll ask the factory's transport team to cooperate with you. Isn't Master Li in the cafeteria? Why don't you worry about it!"

Director Zou looked encouraging, as if to say, Li Hongjun, you can do it.

This made Li Hongjun unable to say no.

"Fine!"

Li Hongjun accepted his fate.

"However, the factory manager, you promised me to let me rest for two days!"

"Of course, never break my promise!"

Li Hongjun got a rare two-day vacation. The factory manager approved him to rest for two days. Li Hongjun went directly to the factory kindergarten to ask for two days off for his eldest baby. During these two days, he wanted to spend time with his eldest daughter.

I have been so busy that I have ignored Xiao Yuanyuan.

He wants to participate in Xiao Yuanyuan's growth as much as possible.

Xiao Yuanyuan was carrying a small schoolbag, and Li Hongjun didn't think she was heavy, so he immediately hugged her.

"Dad, why did you ask me for leave!"

"Father will have fun with you for two days, are you happy?"

Xiao Yuanyuan kissed him habitually: "Okay, Dad finally has time to play with Yuanyuan."

Li Hongjun pinched Yuanyuan's chubby face: "Say goodbye to the teacher."

Xiao Yuanyuan shouted excitedly to the teacher: "Goodbye, teacher!"

Say goodbye to her good friend Wang Daya again.

After the two returned home, Li Hongjun made fishing rods and ground cages to prepare for fishing and catching shrimp.

Xiao Yuanyuan climbed onto the kang in the main house, seeing her brother's little face for a while, made him giggle.

After a while, I helped my sister and taught her to walk.

With Xiao Yuanyuan helping her younger siblings, Chen Jinfeng went to cook.

Chen Jinfeng went to the warehouse and took out a piece of bacon, cut the bacon into thin slices, and cut a handful of garlic sprouts from the garlic. Chen Jinfeng planted a lot of garlic for eating garlic sprouts.

Because Li Hongxia and Xiao Yuanyuan didn't like bacon anymore, Chen Jinfeng steamed a large pot of egg custard in order to take care of pregnant women and children.

While steaming steamed buns, Li Hongjun volunteered to make egg pancakes.

After cutting a bowl of chopped scallions, Li Hongjun started pancakes, which were wrapped with chopped scallions, and eggs were spread on both sides of the cakes. The cakes were golden yellow and exuded a tempting fragrance. Xiao Yuanyuan rushed to the kitchen.

Sniffing her little nose: "Dad, what are you doing smells so good!"

"Dad is making egg pancakes for Yuanyuan!"

Because there are many people in the family, not counting children, there are only six adults, plus his three children, the Li family has nine members.

When Li Gui and Feng Xiaomei came back from get off work, the task of pancakes was handed over to Feng Xiaomei.

As soon as he entered the house, Chen Jinfeng complained that he couldn't live a good life. He baked a pancake and put eggs in it, and put an egg in a pancake. He destroyed all the more than 20 eggs in the house at one time.

"Mom, our chickens lay eggs every day, are you afraid that there will be no eggs to eat?"

"That can't be done all, don't you know how difficult it is to buy eggs outside now?"

The last time Sun Zhiqiang came back from the pigeon market, according to him, an egg in the pigeon market costs [-] cents.

Although it is expensive, there are still a lot of people buying it. After all, the egg ticket is too tight, and it is difficult to get eggs in non-staple food stores. You need to queue up early, so there are still many people queuing up to buy them.

After Li Gui washed his hands, he went to wrap his eldest grandson.

I wanted to tease him, but who would have thought that this kid might be too happy to see his grandfather, kicking his two calves, a stream of childish urine made Li Gui's face slapped.

Li Gui was not angry but laughed, and explained to himself that it was his grandson who washed his face.

Chen Jinfeng is such a hot-tempered person, but he was also made a little bit tempered by his grandson. The little guy is dishonest and often pulls the hair of grandma Chen Jinfeng. If you try it as someone else, Chen Jinfeng can fight you desperately. But this is his eldest grandson, not only did he not reprimand or educate, but he even shouted: Well done.

He is really the old son, the eldest grandson, the lifeblood of the old man.

It can be predicted that this child will be used to heaven by Li Gui and Chen Jinfeng in the future.

After Sun Zhiqiang and Li Hongxia came back, the Li family served dinner.

Sun Zhiqiang first used a spoon for Li Hongxia to fill a bowl of egg custard, and then carefully blew on it: "Hongxia, it's not hot anymore!"

It was almost enough to be fed to Li Hongxia's mouth.

They spread dog food like this every day, and everyone is used to it. In the past, Chen Jinfeng would say a few words: You don't have long hands, you don't know how to do it yourself, and so on, but if you talk about yourself, you can do whatever you want. Afterwards, Chen Jinfeng didn't bother to talk anymore.

Li Hongjun gave his sister Li Hongjun a nickname: Giant Baby.

A giant baby who doesn't grow up.

After dinner, Li Hongjun packed twenty catties of white flour and twenty catties of cornmeal in his satchel.

"Dad, Mom, I'll go to Zhao's house to have a look and send some food to Aiguo!"

Li Gui thought about the population of the Zhao family, and sighed: "Being patriotic is better. Every time I ask him, he always says that the family is good."

Chen Jinfeng was also generous once, and went to the warehouse to cut a large piece of bacon.

"Bring them a few more catties of meat, the old ones, the young ones..."

Li Hongjun had grain on his shoulders and pork in his hand, but he wrapped the pork in a triangular cloth bag, and the principle of not revealing his wealth was deeply imprinted in his mind.

When he arrived at Zhao's house, Li Hongjun saw that Zhao's dinner was a pot of corn porridge with thin soup and little water, and each of the children had a cornbread in their hands.

Apparently the days are coming to an end.

"The Red Army is coming!"

Mother Zhao greeted him with a smile.

"Let me see how you are old, how is your old body?"

Zhao's mother happily said: "Very good, very good!"

"How are your parents?"

"My parents are also very good. They are in good health and delicious."

Li Hongjun and the Zhao family's old neighbors for many years sat on stools and put grain and pork on the table.

"Patriotic, I asked you before, and you said it was good!"

Li Hongjun pointed to the corn porridge on the table: "Is this what you said was good?"

Zhao Aiguo sat on the side in a decadent manner: "Hey, you told me to stock up on food before, and I also stocked up a few hundred catties, but I didn't even eat it!"

"Who would have thought that this year would be like this. It's getting worse and worse. The stockpiled food has been eaten up. There is no way to just ration it."

Li Hongjun handed the bag to Bai Jie: "Bai Jie, go and bake some white flour cakes for the children."

"Don't be reluctant to eat this bacon, cut some for the children too."

Bai Jie took the bag and pork with tears in her eyes: "Hey, I listen to you!"

"Red Army, thank you!"

"Boys, thank you Uncle Red Army!"

Li Hongjun intentionally showed dissatisfaction on his face: "You are still so polite with me, and Aiguo and I have a friendship with bare-chested dolls who grew up wearing a pair of trousers."

"I'm not happy to be so polite anymore."

Bai Jie wiped away her tears: "No, no, I'll go and do it for Mom and the children."

Li Hongjun hugged Zhao Aiguo and Bai Jiesheng's daughter, this girl was only three to four years old.

He carried the girl to the bed and looked at the fat boy Bai Jie gave birth to Zhao Aiguo's second child. This boy was born three months earlier than his son Li Jinming.

He is also a big fat boy with a tiger head and a tiger brain.

"Patriotic, you believe my words, take out all the money at home, no matter how expensive the food stamps are at the Pigeon Market, exchange all the money for food."

Zhao Aiguo looked at him suspiciously: "Can the situation get worse?"

Li Hongjun nodded affirmatively, and only said one word firmly: "Yes!"

Then he persuaded Zhao's mother: "Auntie, don't be reluctant to give up money in difficult times. No one cares about what is important. There will be opportunities to make money in the future."

Zhao's mother sighed: "Red Army, I understand, but now the coarse grain stamps are [-] cents a catty, and the fine grain stamps are [-] cents a catty. If you go to buy grain, a catty of grain is more than one yuan!"

"Auntie, buy it, everyone is eating premium food."

"If you don't buy it now, it will become more and more expensive in the future, and even if there is a price, there is no market. If you have money, you can't buy food stamps and food."

Zhao's mother was ruthless, and slapped her thigh: "Buy, I can't starve my grandson!"

Hearing this, it was obvious that Mother Zhao was clearly partial to the child born to Zhao Aiguo and Bai Jie.

Li Hongjun didn't say much, after all, he also had a distance in his heart, and Zhao Aiguo's blood was much closer than the three children brought by Bai Jie.

"Patriotic, the factory manager asked me to be responsible for taking people out to dig wild vegetables every day in the future. You can apply to the workshop director at that time. Going out to dig wild vegetables will not be tiring and you can get some windfalls. It can also improve your family's life."

"I've also heard about what you said. I'll bring it up to the director when I go to work tomorrow."

Li Hongjun secretly told Zhao Aiguo: "Go out and find two shotguns, and don't let anyone who doesn't care know about it!"

Zhao Aiguo understood as soon as he heard it, and nodded fiercely.

"I'm doing business, don't worry, I'll contact you in a while!"

Li Hongjun took out a handful of money from his pocket, at least tens of dollars more, and gave it all to Zhao Aiguo.

"It's best to buy a double-barreled shotgun, but a single-barreled shotgun is also fine!"

After explaining the most important things in this line of work, Li Hongjun left.

After Bai Jie baked the white noodle cakes and fried the bacon, Li Hongjun was nowhere to be seen.

"Don't look for it, the Red Army has already left!"

Zhao Aiguo greeted everyone: "Come on, don't waste your patriotic uncle's heart, eat more."

Mother Zhao also opened the pillow and took out her coffin book from it.

"Patriotic, let's take time to buy grain tomorrow. What the Red Army said makes sense. Don't make it more expensive in the future. By then, we really won't be able to buy a few catties of grain with this little money."

Bai Jie choked with sobs. It was because she brought three and a half children to remarry Zhao Aiguo that Zhao's life became more and more difficult.

　Thanks: The Four Young Masters of Qingcheng rewarded with Yitang!
