Chapter 278: Swamp rectification
It may be because the dug soil contains mycelium, as long as it rains, there will be mushrooms, and you don’t have to go up the mountain if you want to eat mushrooms, but apart from the mushroom bags sold in the supermarket, Song Xi I still don\'t know how to grow mushrooms, so I can only learn it later, maybe I can let my children learn it later.
After the spring planting work is over, it is naturally the turn of the swamp. During the meeting, Qian Weimin said that the rectification of the swamp would cost 20 work points a day, so a group of **** men scrambled to sign up.
In this way, Qian Weimin selected 100 young and middle-aged men to participate in the rectification of the swamp. Except for He Xiachuan who was to teach in the educated youth spot, the other four **** men all participated.
Zhou Yi and his small group, only Zhou Yi signed up, because Mo Jiaxiang, Gu Ming, Sheng Jiahe were responsible for delivering goods to the city, and Zhou Ping had to spend more time at home.
What\'s more, it doesn\'t take long to rectify the swampland. It only takes six or seven hours a day, and six or seven hours can be exchanged for 20 work points, and you can ask for leave at any time, which can be said to be very cost-effective.
Zhou Yi also wanted to see if there were any good things in the swamp, but he didn\'t know that Song Xi had already raised them on the roof of the supermarket.
In the blink of an eye, Li Qingqing\'s birthday this year is approaching again, and Li Qingqing\'s eldest brother Li Yu and his partner Wang Xue are also planning to get married at the end of this year, but the wedding date has not yet been determined.
The day before Li Qingqing\'s birthday, Song Xi took Mo Jingxiang and Xu Yujie to Li Qingqing\'s home, mainly to show Li Qingqing and Wang Xue the makeup skills of Mo Jingxiang and Xu Yujie.
Ever since Jiang Jiayi showed her tricks when she got married, many people have asked them to do makeup for the bride. Although they didn\'t make much money, they received a lot of supplies and became more and more famous .
Every time Mo Jingxiang and Xu Yujie went out to do makeup for the bride, Xu Bing went with them to protect them.
After all, there are many people on the day of the wedding, and some places still have the custom of getting married. If a guest tampers with the two makeup artists, wouldn\'t their lives be ruined?
But this time when I came to Li Qingqing\'s house, with Song Xi by my side, Xu Bing didn\'t come with me.
Li Qingqing\'s birthday is tomorrow, and Li Qingqing still has to go to work today. As soon as Song Xi and the others arrived at the commune, they went straight to the guest house where Li Qingqing worked. As soon as she saw Song Xi, Li Qingqing hugged Song Xi warmly.
Two people meet twice a month, isn\'t it very thoughtful?
Song Xi introduced Mo Jingxiang and Xu Yujie to Li Qingqing, saying that they were her students, and she also learned makeup and hair from her. Li Qingqing said that she was free when she got home from get off work at night, so she asked them to do her makeup.
"Xiaoxi, you can take them to my house first! Because I will be on leave tomorrow, I can\'t rest today." Although Li Qingqing really wanted to go with Song Xi, but she couldn\'t, she couldn\'t lose her job.
"Okay, then we will go there first, you can go to work with peace of mind, don\'t worry." Song Xi agreed, and took Mo Jingxiang and Xu Yujie to Li\'s house.
Each of them carries a basket, and the baskets are filled with ordinary things in the mountains, such as crabs, river prawns, dried mushrooms, dried wild vegetables, dried bamboo shoots...
Because these things take up a lot of space, and there are people around, Song Xi can\'t use the supermarket to cheat, so she can only ask Mo Jingxiang and Xu Yujie to help her share some.
The three came to Li\'s house, and Grandma Li enthusiastically made them three cups of sugar water. Song Xi didn\'t like sugar water very much, so she gave the sugar water to Mo Jingxiang and Xu Yujie in the absence of Grandma Li.
Song Xi handed over the things in the basket to Grandma Li, and Grandma Li went to the kitchen to tidy up, because there were three more people having dinner at noon today, so it must be arranged properly.
After Mo Jingxiang and Xu Yujie finished drinking the sugar water, Song Xi told Grandma Li and took them out shopping. Although there is nothing to do in this era, it is very interesting for people of this era.
Grandma Li told them to come back early for dinner.
"Mr. Song Xi, thank you. You have taught us a lot of truths, and you are still advising our future. You are really a very good teacher." Mo Jingxiang looked at Song Xi, who was smaller than herself, and felt a little nervous. Said embarrassingly.
She originally thought that she was like this. She got married at the age of sixteen or seventeen, had children, took care of her in-laws, and lived her life like this.
Unexpectedly, Song Xi came and changed her, no, it changed the fate of all the girls in Pingan Village.
You can read and write, you can learn to sing, dance and draw, and you can know that there are so many interesting things in this world, although in the end you still can’t get rid of getting married and having children.
But they are really much happier than before and understand a lot.
If something happens, I know how to deal with it, so I won\'t be as helpless as before.
"What are you doing?" Song Xi patted Mo Jingxiang\'s arm, "I\'m only two years older than you, so don\'t be so cautious, let\'s get along like friends in the future, let\'s go, let\'s go to the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores Building, you also have money now, go buy something you like."
Ten yuan a month. In the past few years, which student does not have hundreds of dollars in savings?
Although they are rich, Mo Jingxiang and Xu Yujie are not the kind of people who spend money lavishly. They didn\'t buy anything, but bought some cakes and fruit candies that don\'t require a ticket. Song Xi didn\'t tell them that tomorrow is Li Qingqing\'s birthday , so they didn\'t plan to buy Li Qingqing a birthday present.
Song Xi bought a lipstick and a new suit of clothes, intending to use these as Li Qingqing\'s birthday present, but this is already more than a month\'s wages for the workers, so it is definitely a big gift.
On the way back to Li\'s house, Song Xi went to the state-run restaurant to pack ten steamed buns, one serving of braised pork, one serving of braised lamb chops, and one serving of braised hoofs. Fortunately, there were three girls on Song Xi\'s side, so the staff didn\'t I think they buy too much.
Mo Jingxiang, Xu Yujie and the Li family were not familiar after all, Song Xi was afraid that they would feel uncomfortable eating at the Li family, so he packed these things as the rations of the three of them.
Back to Li\'s house, Grandma Li and Grandpa Li looked at the things the three of them had brought back. They were a little embarrassed, but they didn\'t say much. After all, they were not their own children. They were afraid that talking too much would affect their mood.
Song Xi helped Grandma Li make lunch. Potato cubes were added to the braised pork back into the pot. Moderately thick white radish strips, bite lightly, bursting with juice in the mouth, leaving a fragrance on the lips and teeth.
