Years: Salted Fish Life Since Going to the Countryside

Chapter 138 Disputes Begin

Yun Yingying vaguely followed Han Li's instructions and reviewed it bit by bit, but her feeling of being cheated seemed to be stronger.

"No, you must be lying to me. I will never do this to you again."

Han Li picked up Yun Yingying and put her on his lap, wrapping his hands around her waist and speaking softly.

"How could I bear to lie to you? This is a necessary process between lovers."

"I don't listen, I don't listen."

"I'm going to tell you a little secret, do you want to hear it?"

"What secret?"

"I found a great, very secluded shelter in the mountains, but it is currently being built. In two days, we will find an excuse to get rid of your sister. I will take you hunting. We will be there at night. How about we spend the night and experience what it’s like to live in the mountains?”

"real?"

"of course it's true."

"But how should I tell my sister?"

"It will be easier to wait until it snows heavily, because at that time it is normal to go into the mountains and not come back for two or three days."

"Then let's agree first that we are going hunting. I won't help you with what you did just now."

"Don't worry, I will listen to you."

Maybe it was because Yun Yingying had been studying for too long just now, or maybe it was because Yun Jingjing and the others came back before they had gone too far.

When the two were sitting together and telling a short story, their voices came from outside the street gate.

After Yun Yingying heard this, she jumped off Han Li's lap and was arranging her clothes with both hands.

Han Li picked up a book and threw it to the other side. He picked up a book and leaned against the wall to read slowly.

As soon as Yun Yingying took her books and sat on the edge of the kang, Yun Jingjing and the others opened the door and came in.

Han Li: "Hey, so fast? Didn't you just take a walk at the entrance of the village and then come back?"

"You two are quite attentive in reading. The weather has changed outside now, and the wind blowing on you is like you are not wearing any clothes."

Hao Hongmin felt a little helpless as Yang Xiuying spoke more and more boldly, then Yun Jingjing said.

"As soon as we went up the mountain, we met the aunts in the village walking back. They said that as long as the wind blows, it will get colder day by day. If it suddenly rains and snows at night, the food in the field will be ruined. Everyone is thinking I’ll help you collect the vegetables in the yard first.”

He Mi said with a smile: "We haven't planted any vegetables in the yard this year. I'll help you and Hong Min harvest them later. This winter, you have to worry about us and Zhaodi eating vegetables."

"There is absolutely no problem with this."

So what are you talking about now? Let’s all collect the vegetables together, Yun Jingjing asked while pulling her sister.

"What's wrong with your voice? It was a little hoarse in the morning. I thought it was because you got up early, but now it seems to be more hoarse than in the morning?"

Yun Yingying: "..., cough... cough, maybe I ate too many dumplings stuffed with badger seeds at noon."

"You need to drink more water in that moment."

Some of them were chopping cabbage and digging radishes in the yard, while others were picking some pickled vegetables and washing them with water.

Han Li made a temporary shelf out of wood in the yard and dried the washed vegetables on the shelf.

That's because they follow the local customs and grow tall cabbage in the yard. After collecting this kind of cabbage, they will dry it on the wall, window sill, or on the ground. After the cabbage is dried and softened, it can be pickled.

The shelf Han Li built not only saves space but is also clean. It can be used as firewood when it is no longer needed.

After he built the shelf in his yard, he helped Hao Hongmin and the others build one in their yard.

Han Li set up all the shelves in the two courtyards, and when he was about to dig vegetables together, everyone persuaded him to go back.

"Han Li, please leave it alone. You need to rest more now."

"That's right, you can go back to your house and read a book, or you can go out to talk to someone. There aren't many vegetables in the yard, so we finished them quickly."

Han Li: "Here, then I'll go get some sunflower seeds and bring them back. I'll fry some melon seeds for everyone later."

"Melon seeds are good, I haven't eaten them for a long time, so you go quickly."

Han Li put some of the grain he got from digging vole holes into his backpack, then carried it behind his back and went out.

Han Li then walked around the village and visited almost all the families he had good relations with.

He used the shelter between the decomposition space and the backpack to exchange for a lot of fresh vegetables, sunflower seeds, charcoal, etc.

I also made an appointment with Aunt Zhao to ask her to help pickle sauerkraut in a few days. The sauerkraut thing sounds weird.

Han Li had exchanged pickled vegetables with almost all the villagers during this period, but only Aunt Zhao's was the most delicious, and other villagers also recognized this kind of thing.

Han Li asked the other aunts as if they were joking, why don't you go to Aunt Zhao's house to study.

Those aunts almost all said the same thing, that is, everyone pickled sauerkraut in the same way, but their own sauerkraut was not as delicious as Aunt Zhao's. For this reason, they were often complained by their own men.

This may be a matter of talent and aura, but Han Li was not willing to waste his brain on something that even the villagers couldn't figure out.

By the time Han Li walked around in a large circle and returned home, there was no one there, and other people's voices came from Hao Hongmin's yard.

Some of the vegetables in his yard were put on the shelves for pickling in the future.

A small part was placed under the windowsill. These vegetables would be put into the cellar after a little drying.

Han Li took out the charcoal and arranged it, then took the sunflower seeds in the basket and went to the outer room to start frying.

Han Li had never fried melon seeds before, but he had to thank the little video for these messy skills. He didn't learn anything serious and useful, but he remembered all kinds of things in his head.

There are many ways to fry melon seeds in his mind, but Han Li wanted to eat them as soon as possible, so he chose the most direct and rough way.

Han Li first boiled the melon seeds in water, and added salt, fennel and other seasonings to the water.

When it was almost cooked, he took it out of the pot, left it for a while, and then started to dry fry it.

At this time, the fire of the stove must be low, and the melon seeds in the pot must be turned over constantly.

And this process will be very long, very long, and the melon seeds in the pot may be ruined if you don't pay attention.

If Han Li didn't have the cheat of mental power, he might not be able to fry it well.

After the fragrant melon seeds came out of the pot, Han Li still felt that he hadn't fried enough.

But he looked at his watch and it was almost time to cook, so he could only indulge in this addiction when he had time.

Now Han Li had nothing to do, so he leaned on the kang to read a book. When it was almost time to light the lamp, Yun Yingying ran over.

"Han Li, Sister Hongmin asked us to have dinner at her place tonight, and she asked me to come back and tell you."

"Eat at her place? She helped us collect all the vegetables in the yard, so it would be embarrassing to eat at her house."

Yun Yingying: "My sister and I said that, but Sister Hongmin said she wanted to thank you for the fish last time, and said she hoped you would take them fishing when you have time in the future."

Han Li: "Then take some meat and add some vegetables, and I will go over there when the meal is ready."

"Well, but you have to turn on the lamp to read, otherwise it will hurt your eyes. There is not even a place to get glasses in this country."

Yun Yingying first helped Han Li light the lantern, then took a piece of meat and went to Hao Hongmin's house.

Everyone had dinner at Hao Hongmin's house in the evening, and everyone went back to their own homes after dinner.

Because Yun Yingying got up too early today and worked hard as a milker twice, she looked tired now. Han Li felt sorry for her and asked her to go back and rest early. He whispered a few words to Yun Yingying and then asked her to go home with Yun Jingjing.

Han Li went home, fed the dog and walked the dog, wrote two letters to his family, lay on the kang, read a book and went to sleep.

The next day, the wind blew all night and made people feel colder.

However, Han Li still got up from the kang early. This time he did not exercise in the yard.

He tied the knife and put the crossbow away, patted the dogs' heads, and went out with the backpack.

Running wildly in the mountains and fields is better than exercising in the yard. As for the proficiency of those moves, it can be completed in part during the running.

When the sun rose, Han Li had arrived at his second secret base.

First, tie up the decomposed wild boar meat and throw it into the stream to wash it, then remove the gravel and continue to improve his foothold.

This time Han Li will not be as reckless as last time. The feeling of being drunk for a long time is too uncomfortable. He will stop to rest when he feels it is almost done.

However, when he rests, he will start to make bacon. He uses the decomposed wooden boards to make a large basin, takes out the wild boar meat washed in the stream and puts it in, then adds various seasonings to start marinating. After marinating, hang it up and air dry for about a week, and the bacon is ready.

When he was recovering, he ran to the pond to fish. It was really nice to stew big fish in a big pot and stick a circle of pancakes on the edge of the pot.

And when the educated youth went to ask for a quota yesterday, Han Li knew that since there were no big lakes or rivers near Shanghe Village, the fish in the river could not become a climate at all, so one or two fish could be taken out in the open, and there was no need to hide it.

When Han Li was fighting for his secret base in the mountains, the village branch today was still full of various quarrels.

Village Chief Zhao and Captain Liang only promised Sun Yong and his team yesterday that they would give the educated youth with sufficient qualifications a fair chance to compete.

However, there are positions such as team leader, accountant, women's director, and militia captain in the Shanghe Village branch.

On such a major matter involving their relatives becoming workers, they simply cannot step back.

If allowed, they even want to keep all the quotas in Shanghe Village, even if it is not their relatives who get them in the end, it is better than letting the educated youth take them.

However, the policy does not allow them to do this, so in the minds of the villagers, one quota is already the limit, but these educated youth actually want to take half of it, which is something they cannot accept at all.
