Chapter 182 Autumn Harvest

The food was just ready when the three new educated youths arrived. Seeing how rich it was, they felt very happy.

"This is the sausage we brought from home. Let's try it." Sun Qing said.

She and Sun Rui are cousins, and their families sent them to the same place to take care of each other.

The male educated youth also took out something and said, "This is the mushroom sauce and meat sauce I brought from home."

Wen Xin put the last dish away and greeted everyone, "Okay, sit down and eat."

Everyone at this meal was very satisfied, there were quite a lot of hard dishes, and these new educated youths seemed to be easy to get along with.

After the meal, those who didn't cook helped clean up the dishes.

Wang Aiguo first said, "My name is Wang Aiguo, and I am the person in charge of our educated youth. You can come to me if you have any problems in the future."

"I am Zhao Aidang, 25 years old."

"I am He Dong, 25 years old."

"I am Lin Kai, 24 years old."

"My name is Li Qian, 24 years old."

"My name is Wen Xin, 18 years old."

"My name is Zhao Wanqing, 18 years old."

"My name is Zhang Yingying, 19 years old."

"My name is Wang Yumei, 20 years old."

The three new educated youths tried their best to remember these names. After they finished speaking, they began to introduce themselves.

"My name is Sun Qing. I come from Kyoto. I am 20 years old this year."

"My name is Sun Rui. I am from Kyoto. I am 19 years old. We are cousins."

"My name is Chen Feng, from Kyoto, 20 years old."

After all the introductions, Wang Aiguo said, "You came at a good time. The autumn harvest has not started yet, and the work in the fields is not heavy now. The captain said that you should rest for two days before going to work. You can take advantage of this time to make the necessary purchases." Wait for a moment. When we get to work, Chen Feng can follow us, and the two girls can follow Comrade Wang Yumei and Comrade Zhang Yingying."

The three new educated youths also nodded in agreement.

Sun Rui asked, "What about the others?"

Li Qian explained, "The three of us work as teachers in the village school, and we only go to the fields during the summer harvest."

The three nodded.

After chatting for a while, they went back to rest.

Because school is already on holiday, if Wen Xin and the others want to work to earn work points, they can do so, but she and Zhao Wanqing have no idea. If they have this time, they might as well go to town to do more business.

Li Qian made an appointment with Lin Hongyu and went to work together.

Although she has time, Wen Xin still supplies the black market boss once every half month. She has a lot more money now, and it will be enough to buy a house when the time comes.

In mid-September, the autumn harvest begins.

Mainly harvesting corn.

Wen Xin and Zhao Wanqing did not participate. They planned to pick up all the vegetables on their own land, drying those that should be dried and pickling those that should be pickled.

The rest should be stored in the cellar.

Zhang Yingying and Wang Yumei also agree with this very much.

After deciding, the two got busy. First, they dug out the potatoes. They also planted sweet potatoes, which are also included here.

Chinese cabbage and radishes would have to wait a while, so they put away other mature vegetables first.

After finishing their work, both of them were very tired, so they made an appointment to take a rest tomorrow and go to the town.

Now Wen Xin and Zhao Wanqing go to town together and have a very good understanding. After arriving, they go about their own business separately, meet at a state-owned hotel for lunch at noon, and then go about their own business in the afternoon, and then meet at a certain time to go home.

Going to the town, Wen Xin wants to find the black market boss Zhang Ge to sell goods, and Zhao Wanqing wants to find her connections to sell fruits.

In the afternoon, the two of them returned to the Educated Youth Home with satisfied faces. Judging from their expressions, they knew they had earned a lot.

After finishing this matter, the two of them were thinking about the mountain goods on the mountain.

The two decided to go to the mountains to check out the harvest, and when the autumn harvest was over, they would take others to pick it together.

Just do it. The next day, the two of them got up early, got dressed, took their backpacks and bags, and went up the mountain.

First they went to the place where Lin Dongze took them before. When they arrived, they found trees full of chestnuts and hazelnuts.

The two of them were like little hamsters, unable to walk.

I walked further inside and saw many hawthorn trees, walnut trees, and dates on the roadside.

The two immediately took out the bags and started packing.

Wen Xin looked at the red hawthorn trees and said, "Wanqing, let's pick more hawthorns and go back. Later, I'll make candied haws for you."

Zhao Wanqing's eyes lit up, she patted her chest and said, "No problem, I will pack a lot of hawthorns."

Wen Xin found a stick and knocked it on the tree a few times, and a lot of chestnuts fell down. She took out the bag and put it in it.

Zhao Wanqing was just pretending to be a hawthorn as she said.

The two finally packed a bag of chestnuts, a bag of hawthorns, and two baskets full of dates.

On the way back, it was very difficult. The weight really made me overestimate myself. The two of them stopped and walked.

Fortunately, the back mountain was close to the Educated Youth Center, and no one in the village wanted to go near the cowshed, which made transportation easier for the two of them.

When they moved back, Zhang Yingying and Wang Yumei were shocked.

"Are you two starting to look for mountain products? Wow, these are really good. The hawthorns are bright red. The dates are also good and quite sweet. Chestnuts!"

Zhang Yingying liked this one and that one was delicious too.

Wang Yumei was also excited, but the autumn harvest wasn't over yet, so they didn't have time yet.

"Let's go after our autumn harvest is over." He was still looking at those bags, reluctant to part with them.

Zhao Wanqing couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't worry, the place we went to was the place Lin Dongze took us to find last year. There are many more, which will definitely last us a long time."

Wang Yumei hesitated, "Would it be bad if we picked it, and wouldn't they pick it?"

Zhao Wanqing waved her hand and explained, "Don't worry, Lin Dongze told me a long time ago to let us go first, and they will go back when they finish the autumn harvest. Besides, there are enough people to pick in such a large area."

Wang Yumei felt relieved.

Last year, their mountain products sold for a lot of money, and this year they are also very excited.

Zhang Yingying asked, "Xinxin, can we still sell the mountain products we have been looking for this year?"

Wen Xin nodded and said, "Of course, no problem, leave it to me."

In this way, in the past few days before the end of the autumn harvest, Wen Xin and Zhao Wanqing went to the mountains every day and came back with a full load.

One afternoon, on the way back carrying my things, I met Lin Dongze who was waiting there.

When he saw Zhao Wanqing and Wen Xin, he immediately stepped forward to help them return their things to the Educated Youth Home.

Wen Xin saw that the two of them had something to say, so she left quietly.

Zhao Wanqing asked, "Aze, what's wrong?"

Lin Dongze said, "Wanqing, are you all going to the mountains after the autumn harvest?"

"Yes." Zhao Wanqing nodded, "Aren't you going too?"

Lin Dongze explained, "I have something to do this time, so I can't go with you. If you want to go, you can tell other people at the Educated Youth Center about this place, so that you can take care of me."
