Candide in Chronology is on strike

It was already seven days after the peanuts and various beans were dried and divided. After all, digging peanuts is time-consuming.

Even if the sun is so strong now, it will take at least three or four days to dry the peanuts from morning to night.

As soon as these things were over, the villagers immediately became idle. After all, the weather is so dry now, and it is not easy for grass to grow in the sweet potato and potato fields.

As for the little grasshoppers jumping around on the leaves, there are too many. We just caught them today, and there will be many more in the fields tomorrow. If we can’t catch them all, we won’t be able to catch them all. The villagers don’t care about these little bugs. There is no way.

Then I thought about it, whether it was sweet potatoes or potatoes, the seeds were buried in the ground, and only the sweet potato vines and leaves were damaged outside. It was really not a big deal, so I ignored it.

Qin Xi is very busy every day. She gets up early in the morning, after breakfast, she and her elder brother go to the woods to collect firewood. When they encounter edible wild vegetables, they will not let them go. Leave the roots and wait for next year.

I also cut a lot of thatch and put it back. The grass on the roof should also be replaced. The previous grass has almost rotted away after being exposed to wind and sun for more than a year. If you replace it sooner, you will have peace of mind. Qin Xi I don’t want it to rain heavily outside and light rain inside the house when it rains heavily in the future.

As for Qin Qing’s child, formerly known as Wan Tao, she has now entered the Qin Xi family’s household registration. After asking for her opinion, the name was changed to Qin Qing. In the future, she can also distribute food in the village. .

For her household registration, Qin Xi took her with her to make reports, write applications and guarantees, etc. After two days of busy work, her legs almost broke, but she finally got the matter done.

After the elementary school in the village started, Qin Xi sent people there. For this reason, he also gave Yang Jianhua, who had lived in the educated youth point for a period of time, two taels of brown sugar, asking him to pay more attention to Qin Qing during class. Some, if nothing else, don’t get bullied in school.

Although Qin Xi has never been bullied in school, it doesn't mean that she hasn't seen the dark side of school. If a child really has bad intentions, he will do bad things regardless of himself and be more agile than adults. In her previous life, she was no less She gritted her teeth when she saw the news about campus bullying.

Now Qin Qing has been classified as her own territory. Whether it is in the household registration book or in reality, Qin Qing is her sister, so she should be more considerate for her.

As time goes by, the weather becomes hotter and hotter, and the open water wells in the village are completely dry in August. Now the villagers have to go to caves in the mountains to get water. It's not very far, you can walk there in more than half an hour, and it takes more than an hour to go back and forth.

If the water in this cave dries up, they will have to walk for more than three hours to get water from the deep mountains. It will take six or seven hours to go back and forth, mainly tormenting people.

It's been like this all day. We have to go through all kinds of troubles to find food for humans, let alone food for rabbits.

Those dozen rabbits have grown up, and Qin Xi is impatient to raise them. How wonderful it would be to be like Tang Ying!

What's more important is that there is not much food for the rabbits to eat now. The rabbits have lost a lot of weight. If she keeps raising them, she won't know what to feed them.

Selling is a last resort, there is no other option.

But before that, Qin Xi had to fulfill an agreement and send Qin He two females, one male and three rabbits. This was agreed when the family separated, and she didn't want to break it.

She put all the remaining rabbits in a basket and sold them to the black market in Yongxin County. She couldn't do it alone, so she called her brother.

To their surprise, these dozen rabbits were sold at a very good price. The price was two yuan and a half per catty. Although it was not as good as the pork on the black market, compared with the price during the Chinese New Year, it was simply heavenly. Different places.Just those dozen rabbits were sold for a sky-high price of 150 yuan. This was because the rabbits had not eaten well during this period and had lost a lot of weight. Otherwise, they could have sold more.

As for food, there are still more than 300 kilograms of food at home, including dried vegetables and mushrooms, and there are also a lot of them. Therefore, Qin Xi only bought thirty kilograms of corn kernels, which cost two and a half kilograms. Thirty kilograms is seven and a half yuan. It's outrageously expensive.

The price of food on this black market really changes every day, and now it has taken off.

In a seller's market, naturally, the other party will do whatever they say.

I heard that due to the lack of food, the city has reduced its monthly supply. Even so, everyone still has to grab the food book early every morning to grab food. Otherwise, even if they hold the food book, they will not be able to buy food.

Except for food, Qin Xi was not willing to buy anything else, so she left directly. She had no choice but to buy things on the black market, but the prices were daunting to her. It was better to leave early, since she was reluctant to buy them anyway.

At around three o'clock, when the bus arrived in the town, the brother and sister walked home without stopping. When they were sitting in the thatched shed drinking water and resting, Qin Xi directly handed her brother 50 yuan.

"What are you doing? You can use this money to buy food yourself! I have money in my hand and I am not short of money to spend." Qin Jiang looked at the five big black cards, as if he was looking at some savage beast, and avoided them.

He and Qin Xi are the closest relatives, and there is no need to tell them clearly.

Why did you hand him 50 yuan for no reason? He would think that his sister wanted to clear up the relationship with him and not want him anymore, so he couldn't accept it.

"Just take it if it's given to you. You're not short of money now, what about in the future?"

"I've given you this money, just take it and it will be convenient for whatever you do in the future. If it's not enough, you can come to me and ask for it."

She doesn't like asking others for money anyway, and I believe her brother is the same.

Besides, she knows that her eldest brother is not a person who spends money randomly. He keeps this money himself. If he meets someone he likes in the future, he will use this money to fight for his own small family. At least, he has some savings and a family. The basics are that it’s easier to get up than others, so you don’t have to work so hard.

Qin Jiang and Qin He had different meanings to her. The latter was dispensable. She had not expected to part ways, but she was not too sad. At most, it was just that they had different paths and did not work together. But her elder brother was different. , that is the big brother.

"I can't help you. I've got the money. If you need anything, just ask."

As for Qin Xi's metaphor about finding a partner, he has no clue yet. After all, finding a wife depends on fate. It is difficult to find someone who is compatible with him in all aspects, but he doesn't want to give in.

If he never finds the one he likes, he might as well just keep following his sister!He's used to it anyway.
