At night, when Wen Nuan felt sleepy, he suddenly remembered something. He was afraid that he would forget it tomorrow, so he quickly pushed Yang Rui next to him and said:
"Don't we still have some old cabbage left at home? I'll make some spicy cabbage together, right?"
The two have been together for so long, and Yang Rui already knows the foodie attribute of warmth. He hugged his wife into his arms and promised:
"Okay, tomorrow I will grind the chili powder and make spicy cabbage for you. Go to bed now. It's late. Don't think about it. I have to go to work tomorrow!"
When Nuan Nuan heard the man agree, he felt relieved, closed his eyes and fell into sleep.
Yang Rui naturally takes his wife's orders as a top priority.
After sending Nuan Nuan to work, Yang Rui took a bag of dried chili peppers from home and went to the mill.
There is no stone mill at home, so if you want to grind chili powder, you still have to go to the mill and use the small millstone.
On the way, he was still thinking about buying a small stone mill for his home. In winter, he could make some tofu, tofu curd or soy milk. How comfortable it would be to drink the hot tofu curd and soy milk in his mouth!
But this thing has to be beaten by a mason from the village next door. He can make a new one and it will be clean!
After grinding the chili noodles and going home, Yang Rui started packing the cabbage again.
I buried the cabbage in the ground and covered it with corn straw. I took out a dozen cabbage cabbage cabbage cabbage cabbage, picked them clean and cut them into two pieces.
Sprinkle large grains of salt layer by layer, put it into a large basin, and pour water into it. This step of pouring water is to dissolve the salt, so that the moisture will be absorbed overnight, and you can make it tomorrow.
There is not much work in the fields now. Apart from stocking up on autumn vegetables, pickling sauerkraut and the like, the commune members grind grain or go to the mountains to collect firewood.
The winter in the Northeast is very long. If there is no firewood, people will freeze to death.
But Yangjiatun is right next to Yingzui, and as long as a diligent family can collect a warehouse full of firewood, they can live a comfortable and warm winter.
Yang Rui had packed up the cabbage and planned to calculate the consequences of being a second-hand dealer these days!
Qinggen came to the house with a knife for cutting wood: "Brother Rui, Brother Rui, what are you doing?"
"Nothing to do, come in!" Yang Rui, who heard the voice, put away the abacus, paper and pen, and called Qing Gen into the room.
"Brother Rui, are you going to collect firewood? We can just keep company!" Qinggen was a little excited. In previous years, when he and Brother Rui went to collect firewood,
Occasionally they met a pheasant or rabbit, and the two of them grilled it directly on the mountain. It was so delicious! Qinggen still thinks about it now.
Yang Rui thought about it for a while. In the past years, he lived in the old house. It didn't matter if he didn't prepare enough firewood. He couldn't freeze himself anyway!
But it doesn't work now. He is already married. It's okay to freeze himself, but he can't freeze his wife, so he can't prepare less firewood!
Besides, my wife has to go to work in the middle of winter. It’s so cold. No matter what, she needs to prepare a mink or wolf fur coat, right? That thing makes you feel warm when you wear it!
So without any hesitation, he directly agreed to Qing Gen's suggestion: "Let's go haul firewood in the next few days. After we have accumulated enough firewood, we will go directly into the mountains to hunt, and then we'll call the second smeller!"
Erxiu is also a younger brother who plays well with Yang Rui. There is only a blind old woman and a few younger siblings in the family, which is also very difficult.
When he was young, Erxiu, who had no father, was bullied by the children in the village. It was Yang Rui who delivered "justice". From then on, Erxiu became attached to him.
In addition to going to work step by step and working vigorously, as long as the second smelly man has time, he will definitely follow his brother Rui!
Yang Rui called him the second stinker, with the intention of supplementing his family a little.
Otherwise, the food he earns in exchange for work points can only ensure that his family does not starve to death.
Qinggen promised resoundingly: "Brother Rui, don't worry, I'll ask him to go, he will definitely be at home.
When I came over at that time, I saw Erxiu cleaning his mother's big tank! "
Yang Rui nodded, and Qinggen went to call someone.
Yang Rui put on some dirty clothes suitable for going up the mountain, and took a bundle of hemp rope and several sacks.
Pushing the cart into the yard, he took out his woodcutter and put it on the cart.
Qing Gen and Er Sha were quick on their feet. By the time Yang Rui had finished cleaning up, they were already here.
In this way, the three of them walked towards the olecranon together.
It is not easy to collect firewood at the foot of the mountain. Most of the firewood is collected by hardworking women and children.
The three grown men did not fight with the women and children, but went straight into the mountains.
The three of them picked up less small branches and focused more on dead wood and some thicker firewood.
After all, these firewoods can produce some charcoal when burned in winter, which can have residual warmth. It can also last longer and be warmer when burning the kang.
Having a cart is convenient. It didn’t take long to pick up a cart full of firewood.
