After the tragic death of his daughter, the honest father of the age awakened

With Xu Qingmu's joining, the mission field of Cui Lanhua's mother and daughter was quickly filled.

The family went to the field ridge, washed their hands and feet, called the scorekeeper to check, and went back with empty bamboo baskets.

When I got home, it was only around four o'clock in the afternoon.

Xu Shuxin originally thought that because of the delay in Xu's old house, she didn't have a chance to take out the things she bought earlier at noon, and she would continue to eat vegetarian food tonight.

Now that she saw her parents coming back so early, she was very happy.

She rushed to Xu Qingmu's side and pulled him, "Father!"

Then his eyes moved towards the couple's room.

Xu Qingmu understood in seconds: This is another delivery.

He was not in a hurry to go in and look, but as usual, he filled the water tank with water first, then entered the house with a normal expression, and returned to their room.

He thought it was the same this time as before, but it was just sending some food over.

However, when he saw this time, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his jaw.

After a while, he covered his chest to keep himself calm, "Lanhua, come in."

"Okay!" Cui Lanhua, who was feeding the chicks with her daughters, got up and entered the room.

As soon as Cui Lanhua left, Xu Shuyan pushed Xu Shuxin with her arm and asked her, "Tell me, what kind of charades are you and dad doing?"

"Sixth sister, what did you say?" Xu Shuxin turned her head and looked at her innocently, as if I didn't know what you were talking about.

"Tch~ Don't think that you gave Dad a wink when I didn't see him coming back! Hmph, we lived together in Mother's womb for ten months, and you even kept it from me, I'm angry! "

She turned her head to the side, as if I won't be with you until you tell me.

Xu Shuyu looked up at the two of them, and jokingly said, "Hey, Yanyan, are you willing to be angry with Xinxin? This is rare!"

Xu Shuxin ignored the second sister's joke, and raised her hand to pull the sixth sister's arm, "Sixth sister, don't be angry, I didn't mean it, and the reason why the secret is called a secret is that the less people know, the better." Well! Sixth sister, don't be angry, at most you won't tell me any secrets in the future!"

When Xu Shuxin was coaxing Xu Shuyan, Cui Lanhua was shocked by what she saw when she entered the room.

Then subconsciously close the door.

Of course, in order not to disturb the children outside, she closed it quietly.

After closing the door, Cui Lanhua hesitated, "This, is this all ours?"

On the ground besides the bags of grain, there was also a small pile of cloth, a large pile of cotton, a basket of eggs, a piece of pork belly, several pairs of cloth shoes... and even an iron pot!
Still three iron pots!

Cui Lanhua couldn't believe it, she raised her hand and rubbed her eyes.

"Daughter-in-law, it's true."

Cui Lanhua looked at the man, and then at the things on the ground, "Here, I... shall we all accept it?"

This is too much!
Xu Qingmu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Take it, we can't go back."

It just so happens that the girls are all skinny, and they all need to be replenished.

Cui Lanhua swallowed, and asked: "Then shall we eat this meat tonight? And this iron pot..."

It's really hard to take it out.

Iron pots and the like can still be stored, but pork is not.

This weather will stink tomorrow.

Xu Qingmu also hesitated.

Of course he wanted his daughters to eat well, but the reason for taking it out...is really hard to find!

Cui Lanhua didn't rush him and waited for him to make a decision.

After a while, Xu Qingmu made up his mind, "Eat it, I will fry the meat tonight, and use this new iron pan. If you need it, use it all, it just happens to be available."

Anyway, girls will have doubts, if this is the case, then they should eat and use, so as not to waste.

This is the fabric...

"For the fabric, you can take the time to make two clothes for yourself and the girls first, don't wear them out, and wear them out when our days are better."

"That's fine, let's do this first." Cui Lanhua also agreed.

It's not that she doesn't want to wear it out, but that she can't.

Everyone in the brigade watched what their family was like when they were separated. If the whole family wore new clothes, wouldn't it be obvious to others that there was something wrong with their family?

At this time, besides earning work points and earning wages, there is only one way to make money.

But that way of making money is not allowed.

There is not a single worker in their family. If there are a lot of good things suddenly, the only source is the one that is not allowed-speculation!

If someone reports them as speculators, then their family will not end well.

After making a decision, Cui Lanhua put the eggs, meat, and iron pot aside separately, and found something to put away the rest.

Cui Lanhua touched the fabric with joy in her eyes.

For these country folks, cloth is hard to come by, and the cloth tickets distributed at the end of the year can't buy much cloth at all.

But now that she has so many, everyone in the family has enough to make two sets of clothes, and she can make two more quilts, just as there is cotton.

She went to dig through the cotton again, and found that there were two quilts underneath!There are even quilts!
So these cottons are used to make cotton clothes?
Also, this cotton is too good, right?Snow white snow white!
Cui Lanhua's eyes and hands were not willing to move away from the cloth and cotton.

Xu Qingmu piled up the grain, and when he turned around and saw his daughter-in-law, he had no choice but to step forward to help, "Don't look at it, put it all away, and I'll go chop bamboo and take all the girls out when the time comes." When cooking at home, boil white rice and stir-fry the meat, if the children ask where it came from, you can say that it was... well, Uncle Zhao brought it."

"Can this work?" Cui Lanhua asked.

Xu Qingmu nodded, "Whether it's okay or not, let's talk about it first."

After the couple made an agreement and put everything back together, Xu Qingmu called a few daughters and prepared to go out to chop bamboo.

Except for Xu Shuxin, Xu Shuyue and the others didn't suspect him, they thought it was their father who called them to help, they all walked over from the chicken coop and went out with him.

Cutting bamboo requires a machete, which they don't have.

Looking at Xu Qingmu who went out empty-handed, Xu Shuxin slapped her forehead: She forgot the hatchet and only changed to a kitchen knife!It seems that I have to change a hatchet later.

They went to the third grandma's house to borrow a hatchet before walking to the back mountain.

Trees on the mountain are not allowed to be cut down, but bamboo does not have this restriction.

At the foot of the mountain in the east, there is a large bamboo forest.The bamboo forest is very luxuriant. If anyone’s family is short of bamboo, they can cut it directly, and they don’t even need to tell the brigade cadres.

Bamboos are abundant in their area. There are particularly large Bougainvillea bamboos, also called Ma bamboos. The long bamboo shoots are also big. They are delicious for making sour bamboo shoots, dried bamboo shoots, or directly fried; there are also straight moso bamboo shoots. , smaller than bougainvillea bamboo, and members of the commune usually use it to make clothes drying poles, bamboo beds, bamboo chairs and other furniture; there is also phoenix bamboo, but the members despise it as useless, so they let it grow like that.

What they are going to chop now is moso bamboo.

Arriving at the bamboo forest, the first thing that caught Xu Shuxin's eyes was the tall bamboo shoots that broke through the ground.

"Father, there are bamboo shoots over there! Let's dig one and go back and fry it to eat?"

Before Xu Qingmu could speak, Xu Shuyan spoke first, "What's so delicious about bamboo shoots? We don't have iron pans or oil at home. Even if we make them, they won't taste good. We need to scrape the oil, but we can chop them back and dry them into bamboo shoots." Dry, the supply and marketing cooperative should accept dried bamboo shoots, right?"
