Chapter 97: Not thinking about food and tea

On the back mountain to the east of Muwa Village, Haikun and his wife were cutting land. They planned to cut down the forest before the Chinese New Year and train the mountain. The two sisters Xia Lian and Xia He were also brought here to exercise.

When the children are teenagers, they already do half of the labor. The children of that family have to help the family with some work during the winter and summer vacations. Cutting the land is not actually cutting the land, but cutting down the grass and trees. Cut down the weeds and trees.

After the trees fell down, they were set on fire a few days later. Then the unburned trees were sorted out and piled together, and a new forestland was created. After the New Year, you can dig the land with a hoe and then plant it.

Plant pine trees where pine trees should be planted, and plant fir trees where fir trees should be planted. People in the mountains have no way to make a living. Farming has been passed down from generation to generation. Crops such as cassava, sweet potato, and ginger are grown in the fields. They also take care of saplings for three or four years.

After that, the tree grew taller. Although these livelihoods did not make one rich, they could still support the family.

The mountain forest of Haikun's family is connected to that of Chen Ming's family, and is bounded by a valley. The valley is wide and flat. Xiulan wielded a hatchet and chopped down the entire valley. Haikun said she:

"Don't cut it like that."

"Why not chop it down? Let the valley be the boundary. Whoever strikes first will own the valley."

"This valley is so wide. If you cut it all, the Chen Ming family will have objections."

"You're afraid of him, but I'm not. You don't look like a man at all." Xiulan became angry when she mentioned Chen Ming. She still held grudges against Chen Ming for that scuffle. Thinking of this, she slashed at him again.

Two feet tall.

Seeing that she insisted on cutting, Haikun did not dare to oppose her, and silently cut his side without making a sound. It was the first time for Xia Lian and Xia He to see the forest. When they heard what their parents said about the valley as the boundary, they were very curious.

, Xia He asked:

"Mom, what does it mean to use valley as a boundary?"

"This side of the valley is ours, and the other side of the valley is theirs."

"Oh, then if we cut down this valley now, does it become ours too?"

"Yes, whoever kills it belongs to whom. You two sisters must remember the boundaries of this land. You two will definitely have to recruit one of you to stay at home in the future. This mountain farm belongs to you, don't let others take it."

"Haha, you can recruit me at home and let me remember it."

Xia Lian, who had been silent to begin with, quickly turned red. She said, "What are you talking about? How old are we? That's all."

The mother and daughter were talking to each other one by one, and half of the valley that should have belonged to the family was taken over by them as they talked.

One afternoon a few days later, it was raining heavily. Hailun did not go to the county town. He came to Ah Jian's house. He decided to form a partnership with Ah Jian and came to talk to Ah Jian.

He heard the sound of Ah Jian's tape recorder in the distance, and Hailun opened the door of Ah Jian's room. There were only two people inside, Ah Jian and Qiaoying, who were listening to music together. Qiaoying was sitting on Ah Jian's bed when she saw Hailun come in.

, a little embarrassed, lowered his head to look at the tape cassette in his hand, not daring to look at him. Ah Jian was sitting in front of the table, and he quickly got up and pulled a chair for Hyalun to sit on, and said:

"Brother Lun, why don't you go out to the street if you have such free time today?"

"I won't go. It's raining today and the road is slippery. No one dares to take a ride." The loess road in this mountainous area is extremely slippery when it rains. If you drive a tractor to pull goods, it won't be able to climb up the slope, so you need someone.

He helped push the cart, but he didn't dare to go if no one wanted a ride.

Qiaoying knew that Hyilun came to Ah Jian to talk about something serious, otherwise people of his generation would not come to play with young people. So she got up and said to Ah Jian: "You guys can talk about business, I'll go back first."

"

Whenever Qiaoying is free now, she will come to listen to songs at Ah Jian. It’s not that she likes listening to music, but that she likes Ah Jian. Ah Jian’s tall and burly figure, as well as that mighty military uniform, have already

It was deeply imprinted in her heart. Every time she saw Ah Jianshi, she felt like a little deer bumping into each other.

Ah Jian also had a crush on the beautiful and slender Qiaoying, and while talking to her, he also felt that she might like him. Especially today, when she was alone, she also stayed to listen to the music and chatted happily with him. But it was just that she was alone.

I am so anxious about buying a car now that I am not in the mood to have sex with her.

Qiaoying came out of Ah Jian's house in a very happy mood. She didn't know where to go for a while. After walking for a while, she unknowingly came to the oil pressing room. There was almost no one in the oil pressing room. Her brother-in-law and the others had already done the oil pressing yesterday.

It's over. Now Lin Hua and Haishan are settling accounts with their brother-in-law at her house. She wants to go home again, but she doesn't want to see Lin Hua. She hates Xiang and Lin Hua very much in her heart these days. She hates them for no reason.

Let's go to Liping. When she is in a bad mood, she goes back to find Liping. When she is in a good mood, she will think of Liping. Maybe these are good sisters.

When we arrived at Liping's house, Jiazhen's son Daliang and Guiqin's daughter were at the door, hammering the picked weeds with stones and playing a game of "cooking vegetables." The children's hands turned purple from the cold if they didn't pat them cold.

Still holding the cold stone. In the main room, Jiazhen, Guiqin and Xuemei were warming up around the brazier. Xuemei was wearing a sweater, and Guiqin was holding her one-year-old son. In other homes, they were warming up directly in the kitchen.

Burning firewood smoked the walls completely black. Moreover, those who were warming up the fire were often so smoked that their eyes and noses ran with tears, and their clothes also smelled of fire smoke. People in the county laughed at the smell of fire smoke. Liping's family

The fire is different. Her house does not burn firewood, but gold charcoal. The walls of her house are painted white and she is reluctant to make them black. The gold charcoal does not smoke and is resistant to burning. This was originally sold to people in the city, Liping.

My family had money, so I bought some to keep warm by the fire.

Qiaoying walked into the house and said to Jiazhen:

"Sister-in-law, where is Liping!"

"I'm sleeping. I just got up and ate a bowl of sweet potato soup, and then went back to sleep."

"This lazy pig, she always sleeps every time we come here."

"Yeah, this girl keeps sleeping these days, and I don't know what she's doing. Hey, there's sweet potato soup left in the kitchen, do you want it?"

"No, I'll go in and see her."

Qiaoying entered Liping's room. Liping sat on the bed and covered her lower body with a quilt. She leaned on the bedside and read a book. She didn't make a sound when Qiaoying came in.

Qiaoying came over and sat on the edge of the bed, took the book from Liping's hand, and said, "What book are you reading?" She turned it over and saw that it was a Chinese language book from junior high school. Qiaoying asked again in surprise: "

What's wrong? You still want to go to college?"

"Which university should I take? I haven't read any books. I've read all the books, so why don't I just flip through them and take a look?"

"If you don't have a book, why are you going out to play? Why do you stay in your room all day?"

"There's nothing fun and I don't want to go out."

"What's wrong with you?" Qiaoying looked at Liping. Liping was thinner than before, and her eye sockets were sunken.

"It's nothing, I'm just bored. I'll go to the county town to buy a tape recorder tomorrow, can you accompany me?" Liping has been in a bad mood since she was rejected by Lin Hua. She doesn't want to drink tea or eat, and she has lost a lot of weight.
