Chapter 1585: Partial Eyes Mom 61
After the autumn harvest, there was not much work to do in the fields. Yuanchun did not go to the fields, but ran to the mountains every day. There were many fruit trees in the back mountain, including hazelnuts, chestnuts, hawthorns, red dates, etc.
There are countless dried fruit trees in the mountains.
The villagers did not dare to go to the deep mountains to pick dried fruits, as the dried fruits in the mountains would fall off the trees and rot every year. Yuanchun would go around the outer area of the mountains and go deep into the mountains to pick them. She would pick one or two hundred kilograms every day and carry them down.
After Song Cheng got off work, he would go to the mountain to pick her up.
After a busy month, the cotton in the field was harvested and there was no more work to do in the fields. Song Cheng and Yuanchun went up the mountain every day to collect nuts and chop firewood.
After being busy for more than a month, the ground froze and the weather was getting colder. Yuanchun and Songcheng filled the backyard with firewood and the cellar with several thousand kilograms of dried fruits.
Grandma Song said, "We can't eat all of these hazelnuts and pine nuts. You can sell them to the supply and marketing cooperative. Only 20 to 30 kilograms will be enough for us to eat."
Peeling chestnuts is very harmful to the hands, and Grandma Song was pricked by them many times. Yuanchun only picked about 100 kilograms of chestnuts and stopped. She only picked hazelnuts and pine nuts, and finally plucked all the hazelnut and pine nut trees in the mountains.
The cellar was only a small part, and she still had a large part left in her space, weighing tens of thousands of pounds.
The next day, Yuanchun and Songcheng used a cart to drag 300 kilograms of hazelnuts and 200 kilograms of pine nuts to the supply and marketing cooperative to sell. The supply and marketing cooperative purchased them at 1 cent per kilogram, so 500 kilograms was only 50 yuan.
Song Cheng got the money and gave it to Yuanchun, "Wife, take it and buy delicious food and new clothes."
Since she didn't have the cloth coupons, Yuanchun went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought a twenty-foot-long piece of defective blue cloth. She took it back and asked Grandma Song to make new cotton-padded jackets for the whole family.
Except for a portion of the village's cotton that was handed over, the rest was distributed. Each family got 15 kilograms. Grandma Song used the defective coarse cloth from last time to make a new quilt weighing eight kilograms for Yuanchun.
There were seven pounds of cotton left, just enough to make new cotton-padded jackets for three people.
I also bought a pair of pig offal and a pig head.
If you can’t finish it, you can freeze it and eat it later.
When they arrived under the big tree, Yuanchun asked Song Cheng to look after the cart and the things, while she carried a basket on her back and went into a remote alley.
Not long after, she came out carrying five pounds of pork belly, five pounds of fried fat, five bags of noodles, three pounds of peanuts, three pounds of white sugar, two pounds of brown sugar, a bottle of malted milk, three pounds of salt, three pairs of cotton shoes, and fifteen big meat buns.
The basket was covered with a tattered piece of clothing, so no one could see what was inside.
Yuanchun put down the basket and urged Song Cheng, "Brother Song Cheng, it's getting late, let's go back quickly."
"Wife, sit on it and I'll pull you."
Song Cheng said happily.
When the couple got home, it was already past noon. Grandma Song said, "There's rice in the pot for you. It's still hot. Go eat it quickly. I'll get something."
"Grandma, let's get our food first before eating. It won't take too long."
When Grandma Song saw the pork belly and fat in the basket, she said with worry, "Xiaochun, this must be bought from...from the black market. It's dangerous there, don't go there next time."
"Grandma, it's not from the black market. I bought it from an acquaintance of mine. She has a relative who works in a slaughterhouse. I asked someone to leave it for me."
Yuanchun carried the meat to the kitchen.
When Grandma Song heard that it was bought from an acquaintance, she stopped worrying and said with a smile, "You guys go eat, I'll cut the oil, and we'll mix it with sugar to eat in the evening."
