Back to the Sixties: Farm, Get Wealthy & Raise the Cubs - Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Hoarding Firewood Cat Winter

But I heard a few words from my sister-in-law on Tuesday, I heard that there are coal stoves and coal, and new pots!

Lin Qinghe went to buy rice last time, but it was only a few catties, and it was very expensive, and a lot of food stamps were needed, but how long has it been since there is still left?

Needless to say, I must have bought a lot from the county town yesterday.

Let alone the sesame seeds, but there are spare ribs, which is too gluttonous, their team has not divided the meat yet!

The last time I ate meat was when the harvest was over last year!

They divide the meat twice a year, once during this time period, and again before the New Year.

After that, it will be next year.

But looking at Lin Qinghe like this, this is obviously rich and self-willed!

“There are still some at home, but not much.” Zhou Dawa said as she rolled her eyes.

There is no doubt that a five-year-old kid would tell lies. After all, this kind of rice is not easy to buy. Many people eat it in the county seat, but the villagers don’t eat it.

Because it’s too expensive, it’s not worse than white noodles. Where can I get free money? And also food stamps!

They will issue some tickets at the end of the year, but these tickets do not include food stamps, only foreign oil tickets, cloth tickets, cotton tickets and the like.

Zhou Dong came back with two bundles of firewood at about six o’clock.

Lin Qinghe wanted to pay for the firewood, but Zhou Dong didn’t accept it.

The quilt that their brother and sister brought home in the dark last night, it was really good, warm, soft and soft, not at all like his quilt, not to mention shabby, dry and hard. Although it’s better than nothing, it really doesn’t keep warm.

The quilt given by Lin Qinghe is obviously very new. At least there is such a quilt, so his sister won’t have to be frozen again this winter.

As for him, it’s okay, he is more frost-resistant.

With a quilt like his aunt, how could he collect money again? In fact, next time he plans to give firewood back and he doesn’t plan to collect any more money.

“If you don’t accept it, I won’t need this firewood.” Lin Qinghe said.

“Auntie…”

Before Zhou Dong’s words were finished, Lin Qinghe interrupted, “Auntie’s quilt is also useless. If you want to use it, you can’t give it. So you don’t have to worry about it. Besides, you will help me carry food today. When I come back, Xiaoxi is still at home helping to make shoes and socks for the eldest child. Don’t talk to me about them. One size fits one size.”

Then he stuffed him three cents: “Remember, when the winter wheat is planted, you have to get the firewood back.”

“Auntie…”

“Hurry up and get some food, see you have been busy all day.” Lin Qinghe sent, then closed the door and ignored Zhou Dong.

It was late at this time, and it was cold at six o’clock, and the sky was also greyed out.

There is not much kerosene left at home, only a little over half a catty a month, where is enough?

Next time I go to Sister Mei to buy meat, I have to ask her if she has any channels, and I have to prepare more kerosene for the family.

Lin Qinghe took advantage of the time to boil water for a few of them.

Although the bath is done once every three days, the hands and feet are washed every day.

After washing, all three of them were caught up to the kang.

She lit a faint kerosene lamp, and then continued knitting.

The eldest baby said: “Mother, just playing at the door, someone asked me if I still have rice at home, and I said there is not much left at home.”

“Smart.” Lin Qinghe gave him an admiring look.

“Hehe.” The big baby grinned.

Lin Qinghe remembered. Now that the grain has just been divided, although the prevailing atmosphere is so good, many people don’t even need to close the door, but Lin Qinghe still thinks it’s better just in case.

So after three days, Zhou Xi came over and told her about her plan.

In the past three days, Zhou Xi rushed to make shoes and socks for her eldest baby and the three brothers, just wanting to go out with her elder brother to make firewood tomorrow.

Lin Qinghe said: “Tell your elder brother to find someone from the village to join in. The two will work together. When the time comes, let your elder brother share some hard money for him, so you don’t want to go and stay at home.”

There are also people in the village with dirty hands and feet. The brothers and sisters depend on this food all year round.

Zhou Xi was taken aback: “Auntie, there shouldn’t be anything wrong, right?”

“Normally not, but this kind of thing is not afraid of 10,000 yuan, just in case, let your elder brother go with someone else, and others can buy two bundles of firewood at the end of the day, and ask your eldest brother to split it in half. Don’t go.” Lin Qinghe said.

Zhou Xi still listened to her very much, and nodded when she said so seriously.

When I went back, I told her brother, Zhou Dong also thought it was better to keep someone at home, so he went out to find his partner.

Zhou Dong is diligent and diligent, and he has good partners in the village. For this kind of thing, he went to his best partner, found two, and said that they were evenly divided.

When the two partners heard that it was sold to Lin Qinghe, they naturally had no objection.

They would also find firewood to sell, and pick two bundles of firewood to sell in the county town. It was about 30 cents. But how far away the county town was, they envied Zhou Dong.

I can directly pick them back from the village and sell them to my aunt on Thursday. I don’t have to travel that far, and I don’t have to go to the county seat for a long time. Sometimes I don’t have a good luck and I won’t be able to sell them for 30 cents.

But on Thursday, my aunt doesn’t want someone else’s family, for fear of being said to be a capital-traveling enslavement, she only needs Zhou Dong’s, so that their brothers and sisters can eat an extra bite. No one can talk about her.

“My aunt asked me to do it, but I can’t do it alone, so I’m looking for you. Don’t talk nonsense, otherwise I won’t find you for such a good thing in the future.” Zhou Dong said.

“That’s for sure!” His two partners said immediately.

It’s stupid to chew the tongue, and even though my aunt spends a lot of money on Thursday, she doesn’t disturb the villagers, and she doesn’t go out very much all the time.

Before dawn the next day, they dragged Zhou Dong’s trailer out of the house.

I came back after three o’clock in the afternoon, got a whole truck of firewood, and bundled it up in bundles, making a full 13 bundles of firewood!

The entire pallet is a tall pallet, and it is transported to the door.

Zhou Dong transported it by himself, but the two partners did not, because it was Zhou Dong’s difference, they just took advantage of it.

Lin Qinghe was a little surprised. She thought that she would get seven or eight bundles, but she didn’t expect to get so many back.

Thirteen bundles of firewood asked Zhou Dong to go to the firewood shed in the backyard. She came in and soaked Zhou Dong a cup of brown sugar water for him to drink. Zhou Dong was very embarrassed, but Lin Qinghe let him drink it, and then settled the money for him.

Thirteen bundles of firewood settled two yuan for Zhou Dong.

The shot is not stingy at all, this is the source of firewood for her family this year’s cat winter.

Zhou Dong knew her temperament, so embarrassed he went to share with his two partners.
