An Yinan smiled secretly, "Before you go to the ground, come to my place and I will surround you. Don't take it back to the dormitory."
The material of the scarf is really not available now. It would be too troublesome to check it carefully.
Besides, there is also a red-eyed Sun Xiaoqin, who is not afraid of her, but afraid of trouble.
"Okay, I'm going back first. I'll go up the mountain with you tomorrow to collect firewood."
Xie Yuanyuan left these words and returned to the dormitory.
After An Yinan packed up, he threw a handful of branches into the stove hall, checked whether the wall and the kang were cracked, and then flicked the water around. After checking again, he walked to the yard with confidence.
There are only two days until we go to the ground.
She wanted to take advantage of these two days to pick up some firewood. After the busy autumn season, frost would soon fall. At that time, the firewood on the mountain was wet and needed to be specially dried to make a fire.
Uncle Xie also modified the corridors on both sides of the room and covered them with straw curtains. No matter it rains or snows, the firewood placed in the corridors will not get wet.
Early the next morning, Xie Yuanyuan and Zhang Qian came over. They each ate two of their own meat buns. Xie Yuanyuan pitifully took the other meat bun with her, and Zhang Qian took the remaining three. .
"Oh, I will buy ten meat buns next time." Xie Yuanyuan puffed out her round cheeks and clenched her hands into fists.
Before he finished speaking, "No, buy twenty." He added another sentence.
Zhang Qianruo nodded vaguely, he did buy less this time.
An Yinan shook her head helplessly, touching the dry wall and the fire bed. She had almost arranged everything and didn't take out too many things.
"Beibei, Aunt Li will send something to you today. You may have to wait at home." An Yinan told An Xiangbei.
Since An Xiangbei came to Quanshui Village, his personality has changed slightly and he is more cheerful than when he was in the city.
I can fish in the water with Huzi, dig vegetables at the foot of the mountain, and find some wild fruits to eat.
His adaptability made An Yinan feel more at ease.
An Xiangbei put down the book in his hand, "Sister, I understand."
The three of them brought their lunch supplies and carried large baskets up the mountain.
An Yinan deliberately opened a small door in the corridor next to the room.
Exiting the small gate is a large field of wild grass, and then you can go directly up the mountain.
"Wow, there's a small door here? You don't have to go around a long way up the mountain."
Today, if Nannan hadn't taken her with her, she wouldn't have known that there was a small door on the trail.
An Yinan smiled. She planned to plant a vegetable garden next year. She had asked Zhang Zhiqing before. Every educated youth can plant a vegetable garden of their own. If they work together, they can share the vegetable garden. If they work alone, they can plant it alone. Vegetable garden, but you can’t eat food from the shared vegetable garden.
This year is also autumn, and most of the vegetables have been eaten. She plans to go to Aunt Li to buy some, so she doesn't get involved in the shared vegetable garden.
"I will open a vegetable garden next year, so I will open a small door by myself. There will be few people coming behind, which is more convenient. I have also agreed with Uncle Xie that he will build a wall for me alone. What will you do with the vegetable preparations next year?"
One look at Xie Yuanyuan's expression and it's clear that she didn't expect this at all.
Zhang Qian thought about it, "I originally wanted to give them some grain in exchange for vegetables for a year, which is convenient."
But now?
"Can I change with you? Or help you with work?" Zhang Qian usually talks very little, but he knows that there are many people there and it is mixed, so he can interfere as little as possible.
An Yinan rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Let's do this. I will open up this area next year. Uncle Xie will come over after the autumn harvest to help me encircle the wall. When the land is cleared, you can come and work. I will decide what vegetables to grow. You can eat whatever you want. Sample?"
This piece of land can be used to grow more than 50 gardens, enough for four people to eat vegetables, and even some watermelons and strawberries can be planted in the corners.
With the wall blocking her, she felt more at ease.
"Okay, I'll work." Xie Yuanyuan nodded immediately.
Zhang Qian also nodded.
After the three people went up the mountain, they finally realized the horror of An Yinan.
I saw a dead tree as thick as a calf. When An Yinan stepped down, the dead tree could not be broken anymore...
"It's best to pick up firewood like this. It's highly resistant to burning heat and doesn't take up much space. It can also be used with these dead branches." An Yinan demonstrated while picking up firewood.
Quanshui Village is surrounded by mountains and there are endless amounts of firewood. As long as you work hard enough, you won't freeze to death.
Every time three bundles of firewood are collected, they are placed under a tree on the side. People from the village and the educated youth center have gone to the fields. No one is going up the mountain at this time. Even if someone sees three bundles of firewood, they know that someone else has picked them up. As long as you have decent character, you won’t take it away yourself.
This method was told by Aunt Li, and everyone in the village follows this rule.
The three of them had been walking for more than two hours. Just when Xie Yuanyuan's face turned pale and she was out of breath, they actually saw a small chestnut forest.
"This is chestnut." An Yinan narrowed his eyes with a smile.
"Food? Is it delicious?" Xie Yuanyuan asked, breathing heavily.
"Hmm, you can stew chestnut chicken and make chestnut cakes. It's so fragrant." An Yinan looked at the thick layer of chestnuts on the ground and felt a little distressed. I'm afraid no one has harvested these chestnuts for several years, and the layer below has become fertile. If it becomes fat, the wild chestnut will be wasted.
Wild chestnuts are relatively smaller and have a glutinous texture.
Xie Yuanyuan swallowed, what are you waiting for?Go ahead.
Just as she was about to reach out her hand, An Yinan quickly grasped her wrist.
"Wear gloves. Chestnuts are full of thorns. Some of them on the ground are cracked. You can pick them up directly, but there are many thorns, so be careful."
As soon as she finished speaking, she put on her gloves, then squatted on the ground to pick them up, picked one into the basket, and threw two into the space.
It’s not for petty gain, there are just too many chestnuts on the ground, and it would be a waste of time to send them back.
Although Xie Yuanyuan and Zhang Qian are young masters and young ladies in the city, they are very smart and they will learn it after just a few glances.
"Mine is full. You two can make a basket together. I will take it down the mountain and you continue to pick it up." An Yinan makes perfect with practice, not to mention that she has picked chestnuts before, so she quickly filled a basket, and Xie Yuanyuan and Zhang Qian and his two men collected more than half of the basket.
"I'll go down with you." Zhang Qian poured the chestnuts Xie Yuanyuan picked up into his own basket, and handed the empty basket to Xie Yuanyuan.
An Yinan refused, "I'm stronger, so I can just send it back. If you feel bad about it, just give me more chestnuts later."
An Yinan smiled and walked up the mountain for two hours. In fact, she took care of their speed, otherwise she could reach the chestnut forest in more than 30 minutes.
"Okay." Zhang Qian nodded.
An Yinan carried his own big basket on his back and Zhang Qian's basket in his hand, and walked quickly down the mountain. Passing by the firewood they had bundled, he picked up two bundles of firewood, and also put two bundles of firewood on the big basket he was carrying. bundle.
Two large baskets and four bundles of firewood were swaying down the mountain.
The material of the scarf is really not available now. It would be too troublesome to check it carefully.
Besides, there is also a red-eyed Sun Xiaoqin, who is not afraid of her, but afraid of trouble.
