Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside

Later, the three of them cooperated more and more tacitly, but Yang Xiuying was a little eager to move the work of pushing the millstone.

She had never played with this kind of toy since she was a child, and she said it when she saw Han Li turning around quite easily.

"Han Li, I think your push is quite fun, why don't you give me a try."

Han Li cast her a glance, and then handed the grinder to her.

As a result, Yang Xiuying felt that it was different from what she imagined as soon as she got started, but she was too embarrassed to give up directly.

In the end, I exhausted all my strength on the kang, and the millstone didn't even turn a circle.

"It's better for you to come, I also see that it is not difficult for others to carry the burden, and I am tired of carrying the burden myself."

Hao Hongmin: "Since it has stopped, let me try it too."

The result is obvious, she is not much better than Yang Xiuying.

"Sorry for wasting everyone's time. Without Han Li, the two of us wouldn't even be able to grind a corn."

"We all came together, and everyone should help each other."

While Han Li was speaking, he had already taken the handle of the mill and began to turn it, and the sound of creaking, creaking, creaking sounded again.

Yang Xiuying: "Oh, no wonder Han Li looks relaxed every day, his strength is really great."

"If only I had such a lot of strength, I would just show my grades and slap those aunts in the face."

Hao Hongmin smiled directly at Yang Xiuying's appearance after listening, and then said something nasty.

"Then you have to work hard, I also want to see how you look with thick arms and thick legs."

"Hao Hongmin, you only have thick arms and legs, so I don't need so much strength, or it will be too ugly."

"We have only been in the countryside for a few days, and our hands are already callused, and even our skin is much darker than before."

"When will this kind of day end? When I go to the county seat tomorrow, I will send a letter to my family to remind me."

Hao Hongmin stopped talking at Yang Xiuying's words, and there was only creaking and creaking in front of the millstone.

After more than an hour, the three people finally worked together to turn the corn dregs into cornmeal.

In the middle, many villagers came to watch the excitement with their bowls in hand, and gave some pointers from time to time.

By the time they pulled the cart back to the Educated Youth Court, the courtyard was relatively quiet.

The girl was too hot to talk while sitting in the yard, the boy should go to the river to take a bath at this time.

.

Han Li simply ate something, took a flashlight and started writing letters to his family.

There was nothing to say for the rest of the night, and Han Li and the others boarded an ox cart early the next morning and headed for the county seat.

After arriving in the county seat, the three of them went to the post office to post the letter together, and then set a meeting time and started to separate.

The three difficult tasks of buying meat, buying oil, and buying flour were given to Baoyuan by Han Li.

Hao Hongmin and the others went to buy some star anise, aniseed ingredients, soy sauce and vinegar, wine, sugar balls. These are the necessities for a treat.

When he came out this time, Han Li brought a glass bottle. There was a lot of soybean oil and lard in the decomposition space, and he just put a bottle in it later.

But he didn't have any fresh pork, and he felt a little sorry for the people who helped build the house with some bacon and dried rabbits.

So he could only sacrifice his appearance here, and go to the state-run food supply station to find the enthusiastic elder sister from last time.

Fortunately, the enthusiastic elder sister was not there last time. Fortunately, there is still meat on the meat case.

After Han Li quietly handed over 20 cents, the knife master let him buy a fatter piece of meat with one knife.

Once on the scale, it weighed three and a half catties. After tying it up with a thin hemp rope, Han Liti slipped out of the house.

On the way, someone even asked Han Li if he sells meat, and he can offer it at a price of 1.3 yuan per catty.

Sell? Are you kidding me, is he the one short of the twenty cents?

Besides, it was too difficult to buy this piece of meat by myself, and I took the risk of being questioned by the eldest sister to get it, so how could I sell it.

There are all kinds of weird people these days, and if you carry on, maybe someone will say that you are a speculator.

Although he has a small ticket for buying meat, it is annoying for him to explain too much.

So Han Li directly put the meat in the basket behind his back, took out two and a half dried rabbits from the space, and went to the supply and marketing agency to find Hao Hongmin and the others.

The two of them also bought a lot of things, and basically bought all the things that were previously divided.

But they were carrying one of the big bags, and Han Li even kept a secret along the way when he saw it.

This aroused Han Li's curiosity. Did the two of them buy something shady?

If that's the case, I must distance myself from them in the future.

My dream is to be a comfortable salted fish, and I don't have to deal with other messy things.

There are still people in the village who are waiting for their things to go back to cook. They bought a few meat buns at the state-run restaurant and headed back.

It may be that I haven't eaten fresh meat for a long time, and of course it may be that the chef's craftsmanship is too high.

These meat buns made Han Li's mouth full of oil, and he even had an urge to go back and buy some more.

At this time, Hao Hongmin was digging in the hidden big bag for a long time, blushed and took out two pieces of toilet paper and handed them over.

"You have oil all over your hands, use this to wipe your hands."

Han Li was taken aback at the time, toilet paper also needs to hide?

But after thinking about it, I realized that this toilet paper is really a rare item for some families.

You must know that there are no sanitary napkins now, which is very unfriendly to many women.

Use menstrual belts with toilet paper for families with good conditions, and cloth bags with plant ash for those with poor conditions.

But the belt and toilet paper have to be purchased with a ticket, and these tickets are basically distributed to the workers' families.

When he was in Sijiu City, Han Li basically never used the toilet paper at home, and all the women in the family used it.

Han Li used straw paper to solve the problem, don't talk about newspapers.

At this time, if you dare to use newspapers to go to the toilet, it will be self-evident to be found waiting for you.

Of course, every female educated youth who goes to the countryside can get a toilet paper ticket every month, which is usually not enough at all.

And at this time, toilet paper is also good and bad, and it is sold at the price of one knife, regardless of the roll.

However, how many sheets of toilet paper are there for this knife depends on the situation of the local supply and marketing cooperatives.

How should I put it, this is an era when eating, drinking and sleeping are extremely difficult.

This is a relatively conservative era, and many boys in the countryside don't even know the existence of toilet paper before they get married.

Hao Hongmin actually handed him toilet paper face to face. Not only was Han Li surprised by this move, even Yang Xiuying who was beside him opened his mouth wide.

But Han Li pretended not to know anything and took it over, and even thanked Hao Hongmin when he was done.

But Han Li felt a little inexplicably melancholy at the moment. He didn't have much toilet paper with him.

No matter how good the family is to themselves, they will not send the straw paper by mail.

Do I want to use leaves, grass blades, and soil lumps to solve it like everyone else in the future?
