Traveling to the ages, eat and drink enough in the text

Chapter 41

But Ding Yu is not afraid of being discovered. She goes to the deep mountains where few people in the village come. Even if the village wants to catch her as a model, they can't catch everyone.

As for organizing people to go up the mountain to search the mountain, which is so big and surrounded by mountains, it's not worthwhile for them to find a needle in a haystack just to find out some of the food she stole.

Therefore, Dingyu is now planning to find a suitable valley for farming in the coming year. She will do all the planting and harvesting by herself, and the four of them will not starve to death no matter what.

Because they want to cultivate land, Dingyu look for valleys with sufficient water sources, gentle terrain, and few trees on them.

But here is a mountainous and thin-layered land. It is easy to find peaks with strange rocks, but it is really difficult to find valleys with fertile soil. Finally, after comparing and comparing, I finally selected a place separated from Hot Spring Mountain. A canyon was chosen between the two mountains of the mountain.

In the canyon there, the water flows down from the top of the mountain to form large and small waterfalls, and finally falls into a pool at the bottom of the mountain.There are a few gravel flats on both sides of the water pool, and then a dense lawn extends outside. It is possible to open five or six acres of land around the water pool to the side of the mountain.

After looking for so many places, this valley is the most suitable for her in all aspects.

The most important thing here is that there are very few trees on the ground, only a few small trees, and there will be few roots left under the trees, and they will not compete with crops for nutrients in the soil.

Moreover, this place has high mountains and fast water, and there are steep mountains on both sides. As long as the entrance to the mountain is blocked, the animals in the mountains will not be harmed when the grain is planted and matured.

After the land is selected, the farm tools for farming are left!You can't let her dig it with your hands!
And because of the large-scale steelmaking in the past few years, iron farm tools are very difficult to get.Now it's all collective labor, and the farm tools that each family can keep are even more so.Lao Ding's house does have a handful of small iron catalpas, also called dung pickers.It is a short handle, with a short iron hoe at the front like a hoe.

Don't underestimate this short hoe, not every family in this village has it. Everyone usually grows vegetables and grows their own plots by going to the team to borrow farm tools, otherwise they don't have any farm tools.

And Lao Ding's family thinks that the dung picker is much heavier than Dingyu and their granddaughters, and the granddaughter will not ask a question if the dung picker is bumped, but if the dung picker is bumped a little, they girls will suffer Beat hard.Therefore, of course, the Dingyu family will not get such precious property from Lao Ding's family. She has to find a way to buy farming tools by herself.

I don't know if there are farm tools for sale in the black market in the county. If not, would she have to go to the village to steal some?
Ding Yu returned home before the sun set, and today she was lucky enough to catch a pigeon.I don't know if this pigeon was raised artificially, that fat one!Dingyu didn't care if it belonged to someone else, since she had already beaten him to death anyway, so he directly stewed bright pigeon soup and brought it back for the whole family to drink soup and eat meat together.

While eating Erni, she talked about what happened in the village today.

"Today the captain went to the commune meeting and brought back two people. They are miserable! Worse than that abandoned woman of the Chen family! One had her yin and yang head shaved, the other was lame, and both of them were covered in feces. I live next to the cowshed."

Hearing what Erni said, Ding Yu remembered that it was time for someone from the village to come.

"Well, don't join in the fun when you are playing, and don't join in the fun if others push you for something."

Unlike Ding Yu and Xiaojiu who are unwilling to deal with people in the village, Erni is extroverted. She likes to run into the village. If there is no life at home, they have to go to the village.

Ding Yu himself is an adult inside, and his uncle's status is special. Neither of them is a normal child. For a normal child like Erni, Ding Yu has a personality that likes to join in the fun.

At this age, she is at the time when she is very playful, and she is already a sensible child if she can never forget to take care of Sanni, and she is already a sensible child while playing with Sanni without being burdensome.Ding Yu thinks that she is already rare and valuable, but she definitely couldn't do this when she was young, and she feels that adults are bad people when they are confined at home to finish their homework before playing!

And the abandoned woman of the Chen family she was talking about lived in a family higher up than theirs, in the mountains.

Speaking of this abandoned woman from the Chen family, because the man ran away, her parents-in-law kicked her out of the house, so she was blessed by misfortune and was not dragged to the farm, but came here.

But, no matter what, although she severed ties with the Chen family, her natal family was originally in business, and she was left with a four or five-year-old child.Anyway, she was just a poor little girl, so she was abandoned, but she was born there, and she always did the most tiring and dirtiest work in the village.

Erni often went to the village, so she knew a lot of news. When the eldest sister told her, she immediately nodded in agreement.

"I'm sure I won't join in the fun! It's just that those two people are so miserable, and those children are still so bad. They even throw stones and spit at them, which is annoying."

Ding Yu touched her thinning hair, which was still unraised, and didn't know what to say.She can't indoctrinate the child, she can only do her best to protect the people around her.

Since she wanted to take begging as her next job, she didn't intend to fool her. This time, Ding Yu found even more tattered clothes to wear on her body. Pull them all apart, making yourself more like a beggar child.

And this time, she no longer sneaked and dared not let people know that she was going out of the village, but walked over without hiding when she met someone.

She walked out of the village and took a small road, and walked quickly all the way to the county. She didn't carry a pannier this time, and she had to carry a bag when she was begging. It was not appropriate to be carried in a pannier.

Even if the patrol team saw the dirty child on the street, he just took a glance and turned away immediately. Ding Yu no longer had to carefully walk around the corner of the alley, afraid of being caught and asked where he came from?Where are you going?Has there been a letter of introduction? She really wants to thank those brigade cadres!
But this time when Ding Yu entered the city, he found that the county town was a little more chaotic than before. When he ran to the alleys where the black markets used to be, he found no one there, so he knew he had moved again.Just when she was planning to look elsewhere, she ran into an old lady with a tight head covering sticking out from a door in the alley, she opened the door furtively and looked around anxiously, she saw at a glance that she was holding a bag Ding Yu was stunned, his eyes lit up immediately, and he waved at Ding Yu.

Ding Yu looked behind and around, making sure that the old lady was waving to him, and then walked over slowly.
