Chapter 30 Going up the mountain to chop wood

The next day Wen Xin was woken up by the sound as usual, gropingly put on her clothes, and got up to wash up and have breakfast like a wandering spirit.

It's been several days and I still can't get used to getting up early. I miss modern beds so much. I never got up so early at that time, but I never went to bed so early at night.

"Let's go." Zhang Yingying said energetically as she picked up her gloves and a kettle.

"Well, let's go." Zhao Wanqing also picked up her things and locked the door.

The four of them walked to Shang Gong together.

"Should we go to the mountains to chop some firewood after we finish this afternoon? We also need to return the firewood we borrowed from the educated youth." Wen Xin asked as she walked.

"Okay, let's go straight after we're done." Wang Yumei also agreed.

"Do you want to bring a rope and a backpack? You can get more firewood this way." Zhao Wanqing asked after thinking about the abilities of several people.

"If you want to get it, I'll finish early in the afternoon and get it when I go back." Wen Xin also agreed.

Wen Xin went to work this afternoon. It was rare that Wen Xin didn't work as a foreigner. She finished her work quickly, went to the scorekeeper to record her work points, and then hurried to the Educated Youth Home.

He didn't pay attention to the hesitant look in the scorer's eyes behind him.

Wen Xin went to the house and took two backpacks and two ropes, and walked towards the foot of the mountain again.

Not long after arriving, three other people came over.

"Wen Xin, let's go." Zhang Yingying came over first, carrying a backpack on his back.

Wang Yumei put another basket on her back, and gave the two ropes to Wen Xin and Zhao Wanqing.

They walked along a path at the foot of the mountain. This little deer should be a place that people in the village often walk, and the traces are very clear. Moreover, there was almost no dry firewood at the foot of the mountain, and it must have been cleared away by the villagers.

A few people walked further into the mountain, where they could see more firewood. Seeing it here, a few people put down their backpacks and ropes and started picking them up.

First, pick up the firewood in a fixed place. Zhang Yingying is responsible for putting the firewood into the backpack and tying the rest with ropes.

Before long, the baskets they brought over were full, and a large bundle of firewood was tied to the rope. Without any intention of looking for firewood, the group of people went straight down the mountain.

Maybe it's because it hasn't rained recently and there are no mushrooms on the mountain. Other hazelnut and walnut trees have not been seen. They are probably deeper and further away and have not matured yet.

On the way down the mountain, from time to time I would meet villagers who went up the mountain to look for firewood. If someone said hello, they would respond with a polite smile.

Returning to the Educated Youth Courtyard, they saw the educated youth cooking in the front yard. They returned the firewood they had borrowed before.

After the four of them shared the remaining firewood equally, they went to eat separately.

The days passed like this day by day, peacefully and peacefully.

After everyone got used to the job of pulling weeds, they ushered in a new job.

Reclaim wasteland. Just clear away the grass roots, trees and rocks in the ground.

The men are responsible for heavy rocks, and the women are responsible for clearing grass roots and the like.

After this first experience, everyone was very tired. Even Wen Xin's habit of being lazy is not easy.

The numbers assigned to the four teams were either big or small. Today is the first day of this job. The team leaders are keeping a close eye on it, and there are no opportunities to fish at the end of the day.

Among the educated youth, Wen Xin is probably not that tired. The work of those male educated youths was even more tiring. At the end of the day, their arms felt like they were not their own, and it was difficult to lift them up.

After finally hearing the sound of work being finished, Wen Xin sat on the ground regardless of her image, looking at her hands that were still red and blistered even though she was wearing gloves, she wanted to cry but had no tears.

The four educated youths in the backyard helped each other back.

"I'm so tired, I might as well pull weeds." It was Comrade Zhang Yingying who almost couldn't straighten up.

"Yes, we are all so tired now. What will we do when the autumn harvest comes?" This is Comrade Wang Yumei who is preparing for a rainy day.

"I'm so tired, my hands are blistered even with gloves on." This is Comrade Wen Xin who is crying without tears.

"Go back and boil some hot water to soak your hands and feet. We still need to wear gloves, otherwise we will be doomed." This was Comrade Zhao Wanqing who was the only one who was steady.

When they returned to the backyard of the Educated Youth Point, the four of them had calmed down a little. When they returned to the room, Wen Xin lay down on the bed and spread herself out.

I felt like I was about to fall asleep when I suddenly remembered the knock on the door.

Wen Xin stood up and went to open the door.

It's Zhao Wanqing.

"Wanqing, what's the matter?" Wen Xin asked as she welcomed the person in.

"This is medicinal powder. You pop the blisters on your hands, pour a little of the powder, and wrap it up. This will make it heal faster. Use this packet to soak your feet to relieve fatigue." Zhao Wanqing took out the powder packet. , while admonishing.

Wen Xin looked at Zhao Wanqing, her eyes lit up, "Wanqing, you are so amazing, can you heal?"

Zhao Wanqing was a little at a loss and replied, "I only know a little bit. My family got it for me before I went to the countryside because they were afraid that I would be tired."

"Okay, I'll use it, thank you Wanqing." Seeing this, Wen Xin didn't ask any more questions.

After delivering the things, Zhao Wanqing left without saying anything more.

After closing the door and looking at the medicine bag, Wen Xin thought of Zhao Wanqing's description in her book.

Zhao Wanqing comes from a medical family. Generations of doctors have been in the family, and it is their duty to treat illnesses and save people. Just because of the crackdown on traditional Chinese medicine and reports from parents and students, his parents were sent to the lower levels, their family property was confiscated, and he was forced to go to the countryside.

On the contrary, the person who reported his family was taken seriously in the hospital and his career prospered because of his diligent reporting.

Zhao Wanqing came to this place to go to the countryside. On the one hand, it was because her parents were here and it was easier to take care of them. On the other hand, she also wanted to take revenge. The person who reported it has become the director of the hospital in this town.

Thinking of this, Wen Xin sighed, this is such an evil era.

No longer thinking about anything else, Wen Xin heated up some hot water, soaked the medicine bag in it, and prepared to soak her feet.

Not to mention, this medicine pack is very easy to use and doesn’t smell bad. After soaking for a while, the fatigue disappeared a little.

He reluctantly popped the blisters on his hands, poured the medicinal powder on it, and quickly wrapped it up.

Looking at her hands, Wen Xin bared her teeth.

Sure enough, you can't work too hard. Isn't this the consequence?

I wasn't cooking, so I took a roast chicken and a cup of milk tea from the space.

I'm so tired today, so I need to reward myself.

After finishing the delicious meal, Wen Xin collected the garbage into the space. There is a large trash can in the space, which will automatically digest the garbage generated by the contents inside.

This is still very humane.

After eating and drinking, Wen Xin lay on the bed again. How can I remind everyone not to forget to study? There are still three years until the college entrance examination is resumed, so you have to prepare in advance.
