Chapter 124 Drying Persimmons

It would be great if I could go to school at this time and then have winter vacation after a while!

"I'm sorry, this is arranged by the commune, not something I can decide. I'm just a school keeper, which is no different from doing odd jobs. I have no right to be in charge of these matters." Principal Song also admires Ban Yutong.

She actually persisted through the heavy rain in July and the autumn harvest some time ago, and has never shown any intention of going back. You would say that her family is good, but every time she comes here she comes empty-handed and brings nothing, and yet she still wants to take advantage.

You may say that her family is not good, but the clothes she wears are among the best in the entire production team.

The Song family has been harassed by Ban Yutong for a long time, and they are quite helpless. If this continues, how will Song Qingshu find a partner in the future?

But they would never agree to let Song Qingshu be with her. If a woman like this came into the family, both their Song family and Song Qingshu would be ruined.

若是儿子回来了,宋校长肯定会将他往死里揍的,那么想往上爬,那就自己娶班雨彤呗,竟然想把这么差劲的姑娘塞给宋青书,这不是在害他一辈子吗?
In fact, Ban Yutong really didn't have such strong willpower. She wanted to go back since the first day she came here. Moreover, the Song family had no money and their conditions were too poor. They were not worthy of her at all. But her father wrote to her saying that the current situation was unstable and he also felt the crisis. She couldn't go back and was safest only in the countryside.

Song Qingshu is fair and clean, and has a good temperament, unlike those rough men in the countryside. Instead of marrying anyone else, it is better for her to marry Song Qingshu. Then she can just hold on to her money and keep it for herself.

Seeing that Principal Song would not allow her to be a teacher in the school, Ban Yutong turned around and left in anger. She had already humbly called him Grandpa Song, but he still treated her like this. She should not call him Grandpa, but should call him old man.

In the past, Ban Yutong could go to the leaders of the commune and ask for a position as an elementary school teacher, but now she cannot reveal who her father is, so as not to bring herself trouble.

She would not rush to marry Song Qingshu. She would wait for Song Qingshu to propose marriage to her. Then she would ask for a large dowry and three turns of the ring. She wanted to be the first one in the village and the one that everyone envied.

Song Qingshu's father has worked for decades and must be rich. She naturally cannot let the Song family go so easily. She has to prepare for her future life.

After Ban Yutong left, the three generations of the Song family looked at each other helplessly. They didn't want this to happen, but they really didn't want to be pestered by Ban Yutong, so they brought out the food and continued eating.

Principal Song warned, "Qingshu, don't contact Ban Yutong alone. Be careful."

"I have never met her in private." Song Qingshu said.

He has someone he likes and doesn't want to have any contact with Ban Yutong. Since he can't resist his father's arrangement, he will just pretend he doesn't know. Ban Yutong is not young anymore and should be responsible for her own actions. If something really happens, she will have to bear it herself.

Song Qingshu didn't want Ban Yutong to continue to disturb them in the production team, but how could they refuse something that even his father couldn't refuse? He just hoped that Ban Yutong couldn't bear the hardship in the countryside and went back early!
After the autumn harvest, the weather gradually cooled down. Every household took the time to go up the mountain to collect firewood and dig wild vegetables. Xia Chan's family also resumed their hunting life, but they only went hunting once a week, and caught fish to sell the rest of the time. The pair of pheasants raised by Xia Chan bred a total of 18 pheasants this year. Xia Chan only kept the pheasant couple, one male and one female, and asked his brothers to take the remaining 16 to the town to sell.

Quails breed twice a year, once in the first half of the year and once in the second half of the year. Several quails are bred in the first half of the year. Now the female quails are starting to sit on their nests again. After a while, they will have another group of baby quails.

The lifespan of quails is not long, not as long as that of chickens, ducks and geese, so once they grow to about two taels in weight, she will store them in her space. She is not considering selling the quails for the time being because the number is too small, so she will just keep them for her own consumption!

This year, no matter whether it is pheasants, rabbits or fish, they no longer help with processing, but directly sell the unprocessed ones, because the unprocessed ones can be slightly cheaper, and those who buy them will not hesitate, and they can also be more relaxed.

With the help of Xia Chan, Liu Li and Gao Bowen's persimmon cakes were finally dried. Xia Chan asked them to take them back and cover them with persimmon peels, and eat them when white frost appears. In fact, they can be eaten now, but they will be sweeter after the white frost appears.

When they took the persimmon cakes away, they left some for Xia Chan as a thank you fee. Xia Chan did not refuse. After all, she had to take out the persimmon cakes to dry in the sun every morning and take them home at night to avoid dew on them.

Persimmons can be dried into persimmon cakes, or they can be made into fried persimmon cakes by adding flour. On this day when school was on holiday, Xia Chan wanted to change the taste for her brothers, so she took a few ripe persimmons and scooped out the puree inside. She scooped out almost half a basin of puree and then added flour to it. Xia Chan didn't like the task of kneading dough very much, and Xia Qi happened to be at home, so she asked Xia Qi to do it.

Xia Qigao rolled up his sleeves and kneaded the dough seriously. Seeing Xia Chan standing next to him and watching him, he smiled and said, "You don't have to watch me. I already know how to do it. The rest is the same as making pancakes, right?"

Xia Chan nodded with a smile, "Brother, you are so smart."

"Don't worry, I promise to cook something delicious for you." Xia Qi couldn't help but reach out and touch Xia Chan's nose.

Xia Chan reached out to wipe off the little bit of batter on her nose, glared at him, then took the basket and went out. She wanted to go see how the cassava and konjac she had planted were doing. These two things were harvested in November in the central and southern regions, but now this was in the north, and although the growing period was the same length, she was not sure whether the harvest period was the same.

In fact, it is winter here in November, but it is not too cold. By December, it will be a cold winter. That is to say, no matter how it looks, it has to be dug out in November.

Cassava can grow to a very high height, and some can even grow to more than three meters long. So in everyone's eyes, cassava is just a tree. No one would have thought that the things growing under the tree are actually edible.

The summer cicada I bought is a new variety bred later. It is non-toxic and can be eaten after being cooked. There is no need to soak it in water.

She came to the cassava forest and started digging carefully under the cassava stalks with a shovel. Soon she saw cassava that looked like yacon. It was really similar to yacon, with almost no difference in shape or color.
