Chapter 16

Private Land

As expected by Lin Yuzhu, Lin Yulan was bombarded by Liu Gongfen's mortar-style fixed-point bombardment.

With his work points in hand, he chased Lin Yulan with spittle and started beating her up. Lin Yulan walked swiftly on the field ridge with a basket in her hand, holding a green wild peach in her mouth and she squinted her eyes sourly.

"You don't do the work assigned to you, and you rush to pick up the burden! I won't give you a six-point rating. You don't have any organizational discipline, and I won't give you a single point! Did you hear that? You are fucking deaf.

no!"

Liu Gongfen chased him all the way, panting from exhaustion, with a fire in his heart, and his yellow eyes bulged frighteningly.

My daughter's daughter came back at noon, all looking disgraced. When I asked her, she found out that she had gone to Lin's house to have a fight and lost.

I was just about to bring someone to call the door again, but before I could get out of the house, I met Song Yi who came here specially and was warned openly or secretly.

Who in the village doesn't know that the Lin family is protected by the Song family?

Not to mention the third production team, there are also many first and second production teams in the village.

If people named Song banded together to cause trouble and went to the commune, he wouldn't have pigtails for others to pull.

He had to swallow this resentment whether he wanted to or not.

Song Erdou spat out the peach core all the way with a smile on his face, "She and I swapped it. My uncle agreed. What's wrong?"

Lin Yulan unloaded the empty load, picked up a full load, pushed past Liu Gong, and left without stopping.

The field ridge was not wide, so Liu Gongfen staggered into the field, stepped on the mud on his shoes and pants, and stretched his neck in anger and spat at Lin Yulan's back.

No one in this area agreed with him, everyone was working silently.

Everyone knows that flattery is of no use at all and cannot bring him any substantial benefits. It is better to pretend not to see it.

Liu Gongfen scolded him for a long time. When he got tired, no one handed him a bowl of water to soothe his throat.

Looking at Song Erdou who was pulling out and washing the seedlings quickly, he snorted coldly, "If you switch with her, you can only score five and a half points today!"

Song Erdou shrugged his shoulders with an indifferent expression. He took out a green peach from his pocket and wiped it on his clothes casually a few times, then nibbled it in a few mouthfuls and continued working.

Liu Gongfen felt as if he had been punched on cotton. He didn't let out his anger, but became even more angry.

He strode to the edge of another field, bent down and picked up a bundle of rice seedlings. With a flick of his tail finger, the tightly bundled rice seedlings fell apart.

He then picked up a few more bundles, but without exception they fell apart, and the seedlings fell into the water and scattered into a large piece.

"He Chunhua, the rice seedlings can't be planted well and fall apart as soon as I mention them. How can I ask others to plant the rice seedlings! Two points will be deducted today!"

Lin Yuzhu straightened up and looked over. In the distance, the middle-aged woman in a blue shirt stood alone in the field, her back hunched and her head hung low.

After Liu Gong left, he raised his sleeves and wiped his eyes, then picked up the seedlings one by one and tied them into bundles.

"Don't look, I can't help you."

Song Erdou held a handful of seedlings in his hands and started to wash them. "My brother-in-law said that he will not let those "rats" steal the commune members' food this year. Work-divided food is based on the account book. There will be no difference in the basic ration. It will be whatever it is.

.”

Lin Yuzhu withdrew her gaze, bent down and continued working, remaining silent.

She has too much time to take care of herself and really can't help others.

If the working state is leisurely and leisurely, and when the bell rings for the end of work, people will definitely rush home in a swarm, which is quite positive.

"No, I'm going to starve to death..." Lin Yulan sat down on the threshold, hugging the door frame and said feebly: "I can't walk even one more step... Sister, hurry up and give me two sweet potatoes to fill my stomach..."

Carrying burdens is physical work, and removing rice seedlings is so tiring that even her waist is exhausted. Lin Yuzhu supported her waist, opened the gauze cabinet, took out a few sweet potatoes, and sat on the threshold to eat with her.

Fang Shuhui looked at the two sisters sitting together eating sweet potatoes from a distance, with a bitter smile on her lips. She hoped that her daughter would be reborn and find a good family with no worries about food and clothing.

She walked up to the two of them and opened the corners of her clothes a little. There were some small fruits the size of fingers in her pocket, which were red and watery in color and looked pleasing to the eye.

"Ah, what is this! Can it be eaten? It looks delicious!" Lin Yulan's hands were faster than her mouth. She pinched one and threw it into her mouth while she was talking. She screamed with excitement, "It's sour, sweet, and delicious.

tasty!"

"Peng Xin, the common name is March Peng. People here call rice transplanting Shi Tian, ​​so the local dialect here calls it Shi Tian Xuan. Now is the season."

Lin Yuzhu twisted one and put it into her mouth. The rich juice exploded in her mouth, sweet yet sour and full of fruity taste.

The gifts of nature always make people happy.

Looking at Fang Shuhui, who was silently pouring Yue Yuelu into Lin Yulan's clothes, Lin Yuzhu finally knew what she was doing in the wasteland after telling her to go back later.

This mother has slowly begun to accept her new daughter. She knows that Lin Yulan is a naughty child who has never experienced poverty, and is trying her best to make her happy.

"You can eat it, you can eat it. It's very delicious, but it's a bit small!" Lin Yulan smiled happily as she pinched the Yue Yue and stuffed it into Fang Shuhui's mouth.

This unruly and intimate action made Fang Shuhui stunned for a moment, and then she opened her mouth to eat with relief.

The sweet and sour taste is exactly the same as her mood.

After Lin Yuzhu ate a few, she stood up, took out the small fish and shrimps and a kitchen knife, and squatted by the drainage ditch to show Lin Yulan how to squeeze out the internal organs with a single cut.

"Don't act recklessly. The fish will be very bitter if its gallbladder is broken. I will go to the private plot to cut a handful of leeks and bring them back to scramble eggs, and then pick some peas to fry in oil."

"Huh? Aren't we going to have to work hard? Can we eat four dishes?" Lin Yulan licked her lips in disbelief.

"Obviously, it's not possible for the time being. But I invited the captain to come to my house for dinner today." Lin Yuzhu picked up the basket and hurried to the door.

There is no electricity in remote mountainous areas, so kerosene lamps are used for lighting at night.

Consumables cost 38 cents per pound, as well as kerosene coupons. Most families have to finish dinner and most of the housework before dark.

Every penny you can save on unnecessary expenses is worth it.

There is not much arable land, and each household is allocated private land according to its population. Large families with more than ten people are allocated five points of land, and families with more than five people are given three points of land. Small families like the Lin family only have two points of land, and their location is quite remote.

The land is about 60 square meters, and the Lin family grows some rapeseed and seasonal vegetables.

Looking from a distance, the small piece of golden rapeseed flowers looked like drops of rapeseed oil in Lin Yuzhu's eyes.

After the harvest, Fang Shuhui would bring her own rapeseeds to Song Yi's house and send them to Song Yi's house for oil extraction. Only when the rapeseeds from several families combined reached a certain amount, the oil mill would press the oil.

Lin Yuzhu was squatting in the vegetable field after cutting leeks. When she looked up, she saw a tall and muscular figure turning out from behind the hillside and stepping onto the path.

This small road can be used as a shortcut to get to the brigade, but the road is not easy to walk, so it is suitable for people like Song Yi who cannot afford a bicycle.

"You're back~" Lin Yuzhu said a casual greeting with raised eyebrows, raised her voice, got up and walked to the other end of the bean rack to pick peas.

Song Yi paused slightly, and his tall gray back was not eye-catching among the golden and emerald green.

But that casual and intimate tone reminded him of the time when his elder brother came back from work and walked into the yard carrying a big wooden box. His sister-in-law also said with a smile: "You're back~"

There were footsteps walking into the vegetable field. Lin Yuzhu held the basket and turned her head with a smile, "Are you here to help me pick peas?"

"Yeah." Song Yi responded with a straight face, and picked the peas quickly with his thick-jointed hands.

In fact, he couldn't tell why he answered. He felt like he just couldn't say no in front of her with her bright smiling face.

He originally just wanted to give her the soy sauce in the bag and leave.
