Chapter 3 Fish, Turtle, Shrimp and Crab
According to the temperature in space, if you grow wheat, it will mature in about one hundred and twenty days. The one hundred and twenty days in space are just five days outside. You can harvest once in five days, even if it is in space.
The land area is not large, but it is sufficient.
Early the next morning, as soon as Ye Lin woke up, he heard his mother Li Ran shouting outside: "Son, are you awake?"
"Wake up, wake up."
"Get up quickly when you wake up, and finish your meal quickly so that I can take you to grandma's house."
"Oh, I see."
When Ye Lin got dressed and came out of the bedroom, the food was already placed on the table. Breakfast was very simple, including millet porridge, pickles, and of course, corn tortillas and a white-flour steamed bun.
However, this simplicity is equivalent to that of later generations. In this era, this is no longer simple. Many people in this era may not be able to eat such a meal.
"Go brush your teeth and wash your face." Li Ran handed Ye Lin the toothbrush filled with toothpaste.
"Thank you, Mom."
Ye Lin took the toothbrush and ran out. There was no running water in the house. Whether he brushed his teeth or washed his face, he had to go to the yard because there was only one faucet in the yard. Fortunately, the Ye Lin family lived in the backyard and did not have to interact with other people.
Everyone shares the same faucet.
When Ye Lin came over, her sister Ye Qi had already finished brushing her teeth and was washing her face. When she saw Ye Lin coming over, she quickly gave her seat to him and said, "Brother, hurry up. Let's leave after dinner."
"I know, sister."
After eating, Li Ran took his sister and brother out and walked north out of Xijiaomin Lane. Not far away was Tiananmen Square, where there was the No. 29 bus leading to Mentougou.
Ye Lin's family doesn't have a bicycle. Even if there was a bicycle, it would be impossible to ride such a long distance. If Li Ran is alone, don't forget that she also has two children.
There were not as many buses in this era as there were in later generations. For example, the No. 29 bus to Mentougou only came every two hours. When Ye Lin and the others came over, the first bus had not yet departed.
The three of them found a seat and sat down. As soon as they sat down, the conductor came over and said, "Comrade, where are you going?"
"Let's go to Miaofeng Mountain."
"A hair from Miaofeng Mountain."
Because Ye Qi and Ye Lin are less than 1.2 meters tall, they are considered children and do not need to buy tickets. Li Ran only needs to buy tickets by himself. To be honest, Ye Lin is speechless about his height.
If placed in future generations, a person who was less than 1.2 meters tall at the age of ten would be basically considered useless. However, it was normal in this era. Ye Lin did not dare to expect to exceed the height of his previous life. He could only reach the height of his previous life.
Although Ye Lin was not very tall in his previous life, he was still 1.78 meters tall, which is more than enough. It would be great if he could be 1.78 meters tall in this life, otherwise Ye Lin would die of depression.
"Okay." Li Ran handed the conductor a dime, and then the conductor gave Li Ran a ticket.
After nearly two hours of bumpy ride, the bus arrived at Miaofeng Mountain. Li Ran and his two siblings got off the bus.
Miaofengshan is not a town now, but a commune in Miaofengshan. Ye Lin and the others can only get here by car, and then they have to walk several kilometers of mountain roads to get to Ye Lin's grandma's house.
"Come on, son, I'll carry you." Li Ran squatted down and said to Ye Lin when he came to the trail leading to the mountain.
"No, Mom, I'll go by myself." After saying that, Ye Lin immediately walked forward.
In the past, when Li Ran was young, he would hold one in front and the other on his back. But now that Ye Qi and Ye Lin have grown up, how could they still let Li Ran carry them? Ye Lin always walked by himself, so let alone Ye Qi.
Already.
Although it was only a few kilometers and took more than an hour to walk, the main reason was that the mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk. When they arrived at grandma's house, Ye Lin was already sweating profusely, not to mention Li Ran and Ye Qi.
"Grandpa, grandma, I'm here." Ye Lin shouted loudly before entering the hospital.
Ye Lin's shout immediately made the chickens and dogs jump. There was no way, this was in the mountains, the sound could be heard far away, and Ye Lin's shout was louder, not only the chickens and ducks raised by grandma's family were
It was alarming, even the neighbor's house a few hundred meters away.
As the chickens and dogs jumped over, Ye Lin's grandparents also came out of the yard. Grandma held Ye Lin in her arms and said, "Hey, my eldest grandson, let grandma take a look."
"
Grandpa and grandma are still very young, only in their fifties. In that era, people got married very early. Even Li Ran, a college student, got married just after graduation. Let alone others, you know that Li Ran is only thirty-three this year, and his children are already ten years old.
Years old.
"Grandma." Ye Lin shouted coquettishly.
To be honest, he enjoyed this feeling very much, the feeling of being pampered and loved by others. This was something he had never enjoyed in his previous life.
"Okay, that's almost it." Grandpa was not happy. Of course he was not jealous of Ye Lin, but jealous of grandma because grandma occupied Ye Lin.
"Grandpa." Ye Lin let go of grandma and ran over to hug grandpa.
"Hahaha, okay, I've grown taller again." Grandpa touched Ye Lin's head.
After Ye Lin let go of her grandmother, Ye Qi went over to hug her. It had been like this for these years, and Ye Qi was no longer surprised. She even said she was used to it.
"Come inside quickly, it's hot outside."
It's still very cool in the mountains, at least several degrees cooler than outside, but if you stand under the sun, it's still very hot, even in the mountains.
"Mom, these are some cloths I brought for you. Later you can make clothes for Dad and you." After arriving at the house, Li Ran quickly took out the gifts and handed them to Ye Lin's grandmother.
What the rural areas lack most is not food or money. Although they are also short of money, at least they still have some, but cloth is different, because buying cloth in this era requires cloth tickets, which come from the countryside.
"Oh, no, no, no, no, your dad and I have a share. You can take these cloths back and make some new clothes for the two children."
Grandpa's family comes from a scholarly family, and he prefers cleanliness. Although the clothes he wears are very old, they are washed very clean, especially the clothes on grandpa's body. The blue clothes are almost turning into white clothes.
"Mom, just keep it. We still have it at home. Besides, this color of fabric is not suitable for making clothes for two children."
"Yes, grandma, just keep it. We all have new clothes." Ye Lin came over at this time and pulled grandma's clothes and said.
Ye Lin was right, he did have new clothes. Let's put it this way, two-thirds of the cloth tickets at home were spent on him, and the remaining one-third was spent on Li Ran and Ye Qi.
Although cloth tickets are also in short supply in the city, they can still be obtained. You must know that not everyone lives as well as the Ye Lin family, and many families will not buy cloth once a year.
"Okay then, I'll keep it then."
"Yes." Li Ran handed the cloth to his mother, then took out fifty yuan and handed it to his father and said, "Dad, keep this fifty yuan and buy something when you go back to the commune."
"You take this money back. We have food and clothing here, so we don't need it at all. We didn't spend the money you gave us before. I saved it all for you."
"Dad, there is no need to save it. You can spend what is given to you. We have money at home."
Li Ran has a monthly salary of forty-two and a half yuan. Even in the city, this salary is very high. If you live in the city and your family is in difficulty, five yuan can cover the living expenses of two people for a month.
The life of Ye Lin's family is better, and with the help from her grandmother's family, they only spend more than ten yuan a month at most. In this way, Li Ran can still save twenty or thirty yuan every month.
In the end, grandpa didn't accept the money. As he said, he couldn't spend much money at all. The family had food and clothing, so he didn't need the money at all. Besides, even if he had money, he had to have somewhere to spend it.
"You guys chat, I'll go cook." Grandma put down the cloth and stood up.
"Mom, there's no need to cook for me, I'll leave right away."
"Why are you leaving as soon as you arrive? Even if you are leaving, you have to finish eating before leaving." Grandma said, holding Li Ran's hand.
"Mom, I just asked for half a day's leave. I will go back after dropping them off. I will come to pick them up after the official holiday in a few days. Then I will stay here for two days."
"this……"
"Okay, since she has work to do, let her go back." Grandpa spoke at this time.
Li Ran went back, while Ye Lin and Ye Qi stayed. Although Ye Lin lived seventeen or eighteen years in his previous life, he didn't have much childhood. What kind of childhood can an orphan have, so he is enjoying his childhood life now.
After chatting with grandpa for a while, Ye Lin took Ye Qi and ran out. This is a mountainous area and there is no deep water, so grandpa and grandma were relieved, but they still arranged for the two of them not to go to the mountains.
"Brother, why are you going?" Ye Qi asked when they came outside the yard.
"There are a lot of fish and shrimps in the creek ahead, let's go catch them."
"Ah! No, I can't go." Ye Qi shook his head quickly.
"What's the matter?"
"Mom told me not to let you go into the water."
"I know, but what Mom said was not to let me go into deep water. The water in the stream in front of me is not even up to my knees, so there is no danger."
"this……"
"Okay, stop doing this and that, let's go." After Ye Lin said this, he couldn't help but pull Ye Qi and walked towards the creek.
The water in this stream was left from the mountain. As Ye Lin said, the water is very shallow, just reaching Ye Lin's knees. However, the stream is not narrow, with a width of three or four meters.
The reason why Ye Lin insisted on coming here was because he fell in love with the fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs in the creek. These are all good things. They are not found in the city. They are only found in the countryside and in the creeks in the mountains.
have.
Of course, you can also buy it in the city, go to the aquatic products company, but the price is not cheap. Ordinary families can only buy a fish at most. Families like Ye Lin and others can only go there a few times a year.
"Sister, you stay up there, I'll go down and catch you."
