survival in the wilderness

Chapter 89
As the end of September approached, people in Sun City looked anxiously to the west while they were busy.

Every day, people stand on the side of the street and stop to watch.

Huahong is one of them. Seeing that the mining team has not returned, her anxiety and worry are increasing day by day.

Lin Yan is so young, what if something happens to him.

Such thoughts appeared in her mind over and over again from time to time, making her in a trance.

Unable to wait any longer, she stood by the side of the street every day, looking at the west.

Ye Zi came to accompany Hua Hong when she was not busy these days, fearing that she would rush out to find someone impulsively.

"It's already September 24, why haven't you come back yet, Ye Zi, do you think they got lost." Hua Hong was worried and anxious.

Ye Zi hurriedly persuaded: "There is black earth, and there are so many warriors. They are very powerful, and they will definitely come back safely. Besides, Lin Yan is so smart, so he will be fine. Huahong, don't think about it, there are a lot of things waiting at home. What do you do. Ju Ma has not yet been pockmarked, and the green onions and leeks in the field should also save their seeds, store food for the cold season, and make clothes. When Lin Yan comes back, let her make these for you."

"I know, but I just don't have the heart to do other things." Huahong said in a low tone, "I can't eat or sleep these few days, and I always think about Lin Yan suffering outside, so I can't get motivated to do anything."

Today, Shui Sheng also took the time to come over. He calculated the time, and the mining team should be back within two days.

With Lin Yan and Lan Yue here, they will definitely come back before September 25th.Although it is said that the cold season will come at the end of September, the time will not be so precise, and there will always be a few days difference. They have to come back early to ensure that the team can return home when the cold season comes.

He said to Huahong and Ye Zi: "They will be back in two days, so don't worry too much. The people who mined this time were armed and trained for a period of time. They are very brave. With them here, they will be able to come back safely. .”

"Shuisheng, when did you come?" Ye Zi saw him, and immediately smiled, "You are a busy person, usually you have to wait in line for a long time."

Shui Sheng works in the finance department to keep accounts and settle accounts. He handles all accounts, large and small, in Sun City. There are too many people queuing up to look for him every day.As big as the accounts of various factories, as small as personal wages, all money related to official business should be found in him.

There are people coming and going in the civil service court every day, and most of them come to the finance department to look for him.He has to complete all the accounts and hand them over to Minister Fenghua for review, and he is very busy every day.

Shui Sheng smiled shyly, "Everyone is busy, and I'm not the only one. I do small things."

"Don't be modest, you are really capable. You have a quick brain, so many numbers, you can calculate them after just reporting them to you once." Ye Zi was full of praise for Shui Sheng.

The people around gathered around and praised Shuisheng non-stop.For a while, everyone forgot about the miners.

Until someone glanced into the distance and shouted: "Look, they are back, the miners are back."

This cry finally pulled the enthusiastic people away, Shui Sheng smiled so hard that his face froze, and he let out a long sigh of relief.It's embarrassing to boast too much.

Leaf squeezed out from the crowd, and when she saw the people returning from a distance, she was overjoyed: "It's really them, Hua Hong, come and see, everyone is back."

"Whoever runs fast will notify everyone."

After a while, more and more people rushed over, vying to welcome the return of the mining team.

Many people ran to that side, and when they met, they took the initiative to take over the heavy objects carried by the mining team.

It is not easy to travel long distances and carry dozens of catties of iron bumps on your back.Even a strong and strong person feels tired.

Seeing everyone smiling happily, Lin Yan was moved in his heart.It's like coming back from home after a long time, and a sense of belonging arises spontaneously.

Before she had time to speak, her body was snatched by Hua Hong and she hugged her tightly.

"Ma'am, I'm back."

Hua Hong seemed to be holding a lost and recovered treasure, staring at Lin Yan for a long time before saying: "Is it not hurt?"

Lin Yan shook his head, "No, everything is fine. How is Aunt at home?"

"Everything is fine at home. Just waiting for you to come back."

Ye Zi interjected from the side: "Lin Yan, your mother is so worried that she's dying, she's waiting here every day. If you don't come back, I'm afraid that Hua Hong will find you."

The crowd moved forward, Lin Yan was hugged by Hua Hong, and at a glance, they were all familiar faces.His face was filled with joy.

It was already an hour later when the team returned to the Civil Service.

Both Huangye and Alan were there, causing the crowd to disperse first.

Minglan, the head of the material department, and Heitu were handing over the work, and Lanyue followed him to take notes.All ores and refined iron brought back must be counted and put into storage.

It was almost evening, so those who returned from going out were asked to go home and rest first.Two people were killed in mining this time, and Huang Ye and Alan were the representatives to appease the families of the victims.

Back home, Lin Yan stared at the hemp stalks piled up in the yard, dumbfounded.

"Aniang, why are there so many things in our yard?"

As far as the two acres of land is concerned, one crop of hemp can be piled up to half the yard at most, but now the whole yard is full, with a lot of hemp, haystacks, rattan and so on.

Huahong put Lin Yan down, "It's all useful and can be sold for money. I'll cook for you first, and talk while I cook."

Lin Yan followed into the kitchen and heard Hua Hong talk about what happened recently.

After the mining team left, Hua Hong carried his head on his shoulders to open up wasteland. The vines were all picked up when opening up wasteland, and he could weave baskets and fences.

It can be exchanged for money. Although it is a small amount of money, it can add up to a lot.Huahong couldn't bear to throw it away, so she packed it all up.

The grass cut from land reclamation is also packed up and piled into haystacks, which are just used to feed pikas.There are already more than 30 pikas at home, and they can eat a lot.

Later, the scallions planted in the field grew up and were sold for some money.I also planted a small piece of leeks, and the bonus was very tight, so I didn't want to cut the leeks, so I stayed to collect the seeds.

Every day is busy, and time flies by.At the beginning of August, the chestnuts in the field were ripe, and five large bags were harvested.

Bai Chen used Mao Lizi for experiments, and it cost five catties a penny. Many people went out to find Mao Lizi to earn money.Hua Hong was so envious, he searched for it for more than ten days, and sold it for 3 cents.

Before the hemp was harvested in September, a large area of ​​Huahong was blooming one after another, just on the edge of the original land.

Now that the tools are at hand, with the head machete, the roots of the trees can be dug out of the wasteland, which is flat and only grows some weeds.

By the time Ju Ma returned home, it was already mid-September, and Lin Yan didn't come back, so Hua Hong didn't have the heart to do anything else.I wandered around the pheasant forest for a few days, looking for wild eggs while waiting for someone.

This wait lasted for nearly ten days, and no one came back for a long time. Huahong stayed there every day, and didn't want to do anything anymore.

When Lin Yan came back safely, Hua Hong immediately revived with full blood, and could do whatever she wanted.
