But Ding Yu is not afraid of being discovered. The places she walks are deep in the mountains where few people in the village come. Even if the village wants to catch her as a model, they can't catch her and get the stolen goods. She doesn't admit it, and the village cadres can only stare.

As for organizing people to go up the mountain to search...the mountain is so big and surrounded by mountains on all sides, so it's not worth it for them to have to look for a needle in a haystack just to find out a little bit of the grain she stole.

Therefore, Tengyu now plans to find a suitable valley to farm next year. She will do all the planting and harvesting herself, so the four of them will not starve to death.

Because they want to farm, Tengyu looks for valleys with plenty of water, gentle terrain, and few trees.

But here there are many rocks and thin layers of land. It is easy to find the peaks with strange rocks, but it is really difficult to find the valleys with fertile soil. Finally, after comparing again and again, I finally selected a place that is separated from the hot spring mountain.

A canyon was chosen between the two mountains.

In the canyon there, the water flows down from the top of the mountain to form large and small waterfalls, and finally falls into a pool at the bottom of the mountain. There are a few gravel flats on both sides of the pool, and then a dense lawn extends outward, probably surrounding the pool.

Five or six acres of land can be opened on the mountainside.

After looking for so many places, this valley seemed to be the one that suited her best in every aspect.

The most important thing in the tench phase here is that there are very few trees on the ground, only a few small trees. If you pull out the trees, there will be few roots left under them, so they will not compete with the crops for nutrients in the soil.

Moreover, this area has high mountains and steep waters, and there are steep mountains on both sides. As long as the entrance to the mountain is blocked, it can prevent the animals in the mountains from being harmed when the food is planted and matures.

After choosing the land, all that's left is the farm tools! She can't let her dig it with her hands!

And because of the large-scale steelmaking in the past few years, it was very difficult to make iron farm tools. Now it is collective labor, and each family can leave only a few farm tools. Lao Ding’s family does have a small iron catalpa, also called a dung picker.

It is a short handle, with a short iron hoe at the front like a hoe.

Don't underestimate this short hoe. Not every household in this village has one. People usually borrow farm tools from the team to grow vegetables and private plots, otherwise they don't have any tools to use.

And Lao Ding's family thought that the dung picker was much heavier than Ding Yu and his granddaughters. The granddaughter bumped it without asking a question, but if the dung picker touched even a little, they girls would have to suffer.

A severe beating. Therefore, of course, the Dingyu family will not be allocated such valuable property as the old Ding family. She will have to find ways to buy farming tools on her own.

I don’t know if there are farm tools for sale on the black market in the county. If not, would she have to go to the village to steal some?

Tengyu returned home before the sun went down. She was lucky enough to catch a pigeon today. She didn’t know if the pigeon was artificially raised or not. It was so fat! Tengyu didn’t care if it belonged to someone else.

, she had been beaten to death anyway, so she stewed bright pigeon soup and brought it back for the whole family to drink soup and meat together.

While eating, Erni talked about what happened in the village today.

"Today the captain went to the commune for a meeting and brought back two people. They were miserable! Even worse than the abandoned wife of the Chen family! One had her head shaved, the other was lame, and both of them were covered in feces. They were arranged by the captain to

Lives next to the cowshed."

After hearing what Er Ni said, Ding Yu thought that it was time for someone to come to the village.

"Well, don't join in when you're playing, and if others are teasing you, don't join in the fun."

Unlike Ding Yu and his brother-in-law who don't want to interact with people in the village, Erni is outgoing and likes to run into the village. Even if she has to carry Sanni down every day, it takes more than 20 minutes.

As long as there is no life left at home, they have to go to the village.

Ding Yu himself is an adult at heart, and his brother-in-law's status and circumstances are special. Neither of them are normal children. For Erni, a normal child, Ding Yu doesn't stop his character who likes to join in the fun.

She is at this age when her focus is on playing. If she can always take care of Sanni and play with Sanni without becoming a burden, she is already a sensible child. Ding Yu thinks she is already rare and valuable, even when she was little she would definitely do it.

Not like this, if you are kept at home by an adult and can only play after completing your homework, you will feel like the adult is a bad person!

And the abandoned wife of the Chen family she was talking about lived in a family further up than theirs, in the mountains.

Speaking of this abandoned wife of the Chen family, her husband ran away and her parents-in-law kicked her out of the house. It was a blessing in disguise that she did not go to the farm, but came here.

But, no matter what, although she had severed ties with the Chen family, her mother's family was originally in business, leaving her with a four or five-year-old child. Anyway, she was just a pitiful little kid, so they all left her behind.

But she was still born there, and she always did the most tiring and dirtiest jobs in the village.

Erni often goes to the village, so she knows a lot of news. When her eldest sister told her, she immediately nodded in agreement.

"I definitely won't join in the fun! It's just that those two people are so miserable, and those kids are still so bad, throwing stones and spitting at them, it's really annoying."

Tengyu touched her sparse hair that had not yet grown up, and didn't know what to say. She couldn't teach this child anything, she could only try her best to protect the people around her.

Since she was going to take begging as her next job, she didn't intend to fool around with it. This time, Ding Yu found more tattered clothes to wear. She also learned from her experience and pressed her clothes into the dirt to make them dirty, and the patches were gone.

Pull it all apart, making yourself more like a begging child.

And this time, she no longer kept secretly and didn't dare to let people know she was leaving the village. Instead, she didn't hide when she met someone and just walked over.

After leaving the village, she took a small road and walked quickly to the county. This time she did not carry a basket on her back. She had to carry a bag when asking for food. It was not appropriate to carry a basket on her back.

Even if the patrol team saw the dirty children on the street, they would just glance at them and immediately turn away. Tengyu no longer had to carefully find the corners of the alleys for fear of being caught and asked where they came from and where they were going.

As for whether she had letters of introduction or not, she really wanted to thank those brigade cadres!

But when she entered the city this time, she found that the county town was even more chaotic than before. When she ran into several alleys where the black market had been in the past, she found no one there, so she knew that this was another move. Just when she was about to look elsewhere, she

Met a package

The old lady with her head sternly poked out from a door in the alley, opened the door furtively and looked around anxiously. She caught sight of the stunned Tengyu holding the bag, and her eyes immediately lit up, and she looked at the Tengyu.

wave.

Dingyu looked behind him and around him to make sure that the old lady was waving to him, and then slowly walked over.
Chapter completed!
