"Tanghulu~"

Yun Xiaotang happily walked to the table, glanced at the bright red candied haws placed on the plate, and then looked at Zhao Xueer who was drinking water from a cup.

Seeing the expectation in the little guy's eyes, Zhao Xueer put down the water glass in her hand, smiled and rubbed her sister's head.

"Eat it, it's wrapped in syrup boiled with wild honey. Aunt Dou and I have tasted it. It's delicious."

"There is also honey water here." He said and poured a cup of honey water for his sister.

Yun Xiaotang picked up the water glass and took a sip, a hint of sweetness spreading in her mouth.

Wild honey.

This is a good thing. You must know that even in later generations, it is difficult to buy authentic wild honey. Most of it is artificially processed and mixed with sugar.

After taking a few sips, he put down the water glass. Yun Xiaotang picked up the candied haws on the table and took a bite. The syrup neutralized the sourness of the hawthorn, making it sweet and sour, and tasted good.

He lowered his head and looked at the bamboo stick in his hand. Although the bamboo stick was a little rough, it was still made with great care.

"I'll go get my brother up and eat."

Picking up another candied haws, Yun Xiaotang quickly went to Zhao Tian'er's room and knocked on the door, but there was no response. Yun Xiaotang pushed the door and entered, and saw Zhao Tian'er lying on the bed, still sleeping, with his belly covered

A small piece of fabric.

Walking softly to the bed, Yun Xiaotang gently touched Zhao Tian'er's lips with the candied haws that she had never eaten before.

Zhao Tian'er moved slightly, his eyes were still closed, but he subconsciously smacked his lips and licked his lips.

Yun Xiaotang snickered and touched it lightly with the candied haws.

Zhao Tianer was taking a nap when he suddenly felt like he was eating sweets in his dream. Lots and lots of sweets, so sweet.

He was thinking about taking these candies back and giving them to his sister. Oh, by the way, there are also Aunt Dou and Xiao Ping'an.

Suddenly, he woke up.

Rubbing his eyes, he saw his sister holding two bunches of fruit in her hands and smiling at him. The fruit was also wrapped with something, which made it taste delicious.

"Brother, eat the candied haws."

Yun Xiaotang was struck by how cute her brother was when he just woke up and looked a little dazed. He looked at his older brother who was so cute, not as naughty as other children of this age.

My brother is so good.

Zhao Tian'er was stunned when he saw his sister hand him a bunch of fruits in her hand. He took it and took a bite carefully.

Mmm, so delicious.

The hawthorn was not as sour as the last time he ate it, and the little boy couldn't help but have a happy smile on his face.

Yun Xiaotang saw this and couldn't help but bend her eyes, showing a crescent-like smile.

"Brother, there is some honey water to drink. Get up quickly."

Zhao Tian'er quickly got up, put on her shoes and went to the main room with her sister.

"Brother, drink this."

Zhao Tianer took the honey water poured by his sister and took a sip. It was so sweet.

He couldn't help but drink up a whole glass of water. The honey water tasted better than sugar water. However, he only drank sugar water once or twice.

Children of this age love to eat sweet things. Seeing this, Yun Xiaotang poured another glass of honey water for her brother.

Zhao Tianer drank it all in one gulp.

Zhao Xueer sat aside and looked at the brother and sister, with a smile on her face.

At this time, the sound of little Ping An's babbling sounded in the room.

Dou Hongxia got up and went to the room to take Xiao Ping An out. The child who had just woken up was still a little confused. He turned his little head and looked around. Until he saw his familiar sister, he grinned at Yun Xiaotang.

Sitting down with Xiao Ping An in her arms, Dou Hongxia took a spoon and fed her honey water.

Little Ping An, who had just grown a few baby teeth, bit the spoon hard and sucked the sweet water in the spoon with his small mouth. After drinking, he still shouted "Drink~drink~"

Xiaopingan looks much livelier now than when he first arrived.

When I first came here, I was so young, but my eyes were full of timidity, and I was as skinny as a cat.

She looked at Xiao Ping An in Dou Hongxia's arms, and then at her younger siblings.

Zhao Xueer thought to herself that she must raise them well.

It seems that she has to go to town tomorrow.

…

Early on the next morning, Zhao Xueer carried a bamboo basket with a jar of honey in it and two cereals in her hand, and started walking to the town.

She specifically asked the captain of the production team for a half-day leave, and went to town early in the morning before the sun came out and it was not so hot.

She wants to sell the wild honey and exchange it for food.

Although wild honey is a good thing, it cannot satisfy or quench hunger after all. It is better to replace it with real food to feed the family.

Yushu Village is about seven or eight kilometers away from the town. It takes Zhao Xueer two hours to walk even if she quickens her pace. The round trip only takes more than four hours on the road.

After taking a bite of the steamed bun in her hand, Zhao Xueer hurried on while it was still cool. After a while, it would get hot and walking might be a bit uncomfortable.

There is no car, so we have to walk.

In this age, bicycles are like luxury cars, which are rare to see. The first thing that is rare among rural people is the bicycle. Bicycles are not only expensive, but even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them.

Buying a bicycle requires a ticket, and it is "hard to get a ticket" for a Feige brand bicycle, let alone the Forever brand and Phoenix brand bicycles.

It's better in the city, but it's really difficult in the countryside.

A bicycle costs about 150 yuan. Think about it, the members of the production team earn 12 work points every day, 2 cents a day, 6 yuan a month, or 72 yuan a year.

This doesn't even buy a bicycle.

Moreover, earning 72 yuan a year is still an ideal situation. After deducting expenses and various other factors, there is not much money left in one year.

The bicycle bell of "Dingling bell" does not ring a bell, but a status.

Only one or two households in the entire commune have bicycles, but they are so expensive that no one can even touch them, let alone borrow them.

Zhao Xueer never thought about asking others to borrow her bicycle. She was thinking about things while rushing on her way.

Nowadays, it is forbidden to buy and sell goods privately. If she wants to sell wild honey, she can only go to the black market.

Originally, she was thinking of selling it to a supply and marketing cooperative, but she was afraid that if the items did not sell, she would be reported by a member of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Although going to the black market was risky, it made her feel more at ease than going to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Anyway, everyone is taking risks to buy and sell things, so no one should report anyone, and no one should pry about anyone.

The sun was getting higher and higher, and Zhao Xueer was already covered in sweat, her cheeks were red, and she was panting.

She wiped the sweat from her forehead. She was really tired. She looked around and sat down on a stone under a tree.

When I sat down, I felt a faint breeze blowing, and the leaves on the roadside rustled gently.

She looked up at the sky through the gaps between the trees, took a few deep breaths, stood up again, and continued on her way.
