Han Lulu blushed when Zhao Dexing said it, but she still argued: "Even if I earn less work points, the number is wrong. I just left a little early that time. Why were all my work points deducted that day?"
The reason for being absent from work that time was because Han Lulu felt too tired from work and wanted to be lazy. She wanted to sneak away while Zhao Dexing was not paying attention and then sneak back to sign in when work was over. She never escaped Zhao Dexing's eyes. She was given an unexcused absence from work.
Zhao Dexing said: "Being absent from work for no reason will deduct double work points. I didn't deduct double points for you, which is already good."
Zhao Dexing thought that Han Lulu earned too few work points, so he felt compassion for her, so he didn't give her double deductions. Unexpectedly, Han Lulu didn't appreciate it.
If he ever relents in the future, his name will be written backwards.
"But..." Han Lulu still wanted to argue, but Zhao Dexing said: "You only have so many work points this year. If you think it's not okay, I will deduct the double work points you deserve."
Zhao Dexing has said so, how can Han Lulu dare to argue anymore? One work point costs three cents, which is a pound of sweet potatoes!
She had no choice but to do it like this. She exchanged all her work points for grain and paid back the grain she had borrowed from the village. In the end, she got very little grain. Thinking about the few dollars she had left, Han Lulu wanted to cry. .
Similarly, Ye Xiaozhen's work points were also pitiful, and the food she received was also not much. In the end, she gritted her teeth and bought fifty catties of cornmeal and fifty catties of sweet potatoes.
Seeing Ye Tan not blinking, he bought another 200 kilograms of cornmeal and 50 kilograms of sweet potatoes. Ye Xiaozhen was so angry that her eyes were red.
In this era, if you only eat the grain, it will definitely not be enough. Therefore, after the autumn harvest and the beginning of spring, the villagers will go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, make them into dried vegetables, store them, and eat them mixed with the grain.
Especially after the autumn harvest in the Northeast, everything in the mountains has matured. It is a harvest season. In addition to wild vegetables, there are also wild fruits such as wild chestnuts, wild hazelnuts, wild pears, and pine nuts. Especially wild chestnuts, which can be harvested. It's especially good when eaten as food.
Just now, when Aunt Hua brought her family to help Ye Tan and Song Fila with food, Ye Xiaozhen heard clearly that tomorrow the aunts and aunts in the village would start going into the mountains to collect mountain products, and she had to follow closely, otherwise she would With the little food she had on hand now, she would starve to death.
Thinking of her parents who had no faith at all, Ye Xiaozhen felt a sense of grievance at being abandoned.
Equally uncomfortable was Han Lulu. She had spent all her money today, and the food she bought in the end was not as much as Ye Xiaozhen's. She began to worry about how she would survive this winter.
The lively food distribution was over, and the villagers of Taoshan Village also began to prepare for Cat Winter. Early in the morning, Ye Tan and Song Fei followed other educated youths from the Educated Youth Point to the foot of Taoshou Mountain.
At this time, the foothills of Taoshou Mountain were very lively. The labor force from every household was out in unison. Everyone was carrying a big bamboo basket on their backs. Zhou Changzhu was loudly saying something about paying attention to safety.
When Aunt Hua saw Ye Tan and Song Fei, she hurriedly waved to them: "Come here quickly, we'll be leaving soon."
Ye Tan and Song Fei hurried over and Song Fei said with a smile: "Aunt Hua, it's really lively today."
"No." Aunt Hua said with a smile: "Today we are going to harvest chestnuts. Let me tell you, the chestnut forest is huge. You harvest more and save it later to eat later. These chestnuts are nothing like food. The difference is that when ground into flour, it tastes better than cornmeal."
Ye Tan nodded. She had eaten chestnut flour steamed buns in her previous life. Not to mention, the chestnut flour steamed buns were really delicious. She still remembers them. She has thought about it. Wait. After going back to hunt chestnuts, I ground some chestnut flour and steamed the steamed buns to eat.
Song Fei was speechless: "Aunt Hua, how big a chestnut forest it is. There are about 200 people in our village. Can we divide those chestnuts?"
"That's enough." Aunt Hua whispered with a smile: "Let me tell you, this place in our village is a geomantic treasure. Even during the great famine, no one died of starvation. It was on Taoshou Mountain. of chestnuts and wild fruits.
"That's really amazing." Song Fei and Ye Tan both said hurriedly.
Song Fei sighed. Although she had no memory of that period, she had heard from her parents that many people had no food to eat in those years, so they had no choice but to chew tree bark, dig grass roots and eat Guanyin soil, just to survive. He went down, but in the end his belly was burst by the Guanyin soil.
"No." Aunt Hua nodded: "There are even more powerful ones."
"Oh?" Song Fei and Ye Tan looked at Aunt Hua in surprise.
Aunt Hua's voice dropped even lower, and she whispered to Ye Tan and Song Fei: "I just heard about it. I don't know if I take it seriously or not. Just listen to it and it will be over."
Ye Tan and Song Fei nodded hurriedly.
I heard Aunt Hua say: "I heard that it was because the true king of Qizhen Taoist Temple appeared and gave a lot of food. Therefore, in those days, the Taoist priests of Qizhen Taoist Temple gave fasts every day. Even you and I, Uncle Hua, went to Qizhen The Taoist temple received fasting meals, and just like that, several surrounding villages relied on the fasting meals donated by Qizhen Taoist Temple to survive the disaster year."
Ye Tan heard about the past events of Qizhen Taoist Temple and couldn't help but sigh when he thought about the Taoist temple that now has no trace.
This was the first time Song Fei had heard about Qizhen Taoist Temple. She immediately exclaimed: "This has saved countless lives. These Taoist masters are really good people."
"Hey, it's a pity that good people are not rewarded." Speaking of Qizhen Taoist Temple, Aunt Hua sighed and shook her head.
"Ah!" Song Fei said in surprise: "Aunt Hua, what happened to Qizhen Taoist Temple?"
"No." Aunt Hua said: "I don't know who reported it to someone a few years ago. As a result, the Taoist temple was demolished. As for the Taoist master in the Taoist temple, there is only one left in the town. , and crazy.”
"So pitiful." Song Fei felt extremely uncomfortable after hearing this: "Those Taoist masters who did good things back then ended up like this."
"Oh, there's no way, it's just the way the world is." Aunt Hua sighed: "Fortunately, those who received the blessings of Qizhen Taoist Temple often helped the Taoist master from time to time. Otherwise, I'm afraid people would have died long ago. La."
Aunt Hua became more and more embarrassed as she spoke, and finally sighed heavily.
This topic was quite heavy, so Aunt Hua quickly changed the subject: "Hey, I won't talk about it anymore, I won't talk about it anymore."
Turning around and looking at Zhou Changzhu, he said, "Oh, we should be setting off soon."
