From that day on, Yi Qingqing moved her daily study notes, incense making, and clothes cutting into her portable space, where there was plenty of light and a more comfortable environment.
When cooking, she didn’t have to worry about the problem of frequent meat cooking that might arouse suspicion.
Most meat dishes could be prepared in the portable kitchen.
Ordinary noodles, rice, and boiling water could be cooked on the stove in the outer room. There was less odor, and meat was only cooked here occasionally.
The quality of life had increased significantly.
However, she still slept on the kang in the outer room.
This is the disadvantage of the Dali Yangyan Anshen Pills. Although it can make her fall asleep quickly, she sleeps too soundly and will only be awakened by relatively loud noises, such as a whistle or when someone touches her.
Except for the blue brick wall on the outside, the rest of the house is not very solid.
Otherwise, Cai Chunshan would not have been able to drill a hole with an iron stick.
So, it was safer to sleep on the kang outside.
The quilt on the kang outside her house was also newly made by her mother. It was soft and comfortable, so she slept well.
Upgrading the portable space was her biggest wish in recent months.
There was such a large space left in the food room, so Yi Qingqing planned to go hunting and collect wild fruits in the back mountain after the autumn harvest and stock up some things.
There was no end to stockpiling unless there was no more space.
Two days later, one morning, Aunt Guihua told them, “The sweet potatoes should have been harvested in the morning, and we will hold an autumn harvest summary meeting at noon. The grain can be weighed in the afternoon. We must pay the public grain tax early tomorrow morning, and the grain can be distributed to each family the day after tomorrow morning. So, today’s noon will probably be the last meal of the autumn harvest, so the remaining grain can be cooked in one meal.”
The other three nodded. Everyone had expected this. They didn’t dig much wild vegetables yesterday afternoon.
“We talked about stewing loaches today, but where are the loaches?” Sun Laidi inspected the canteen early in the morning.
“You also heard from Comrade Xiao Yi that it must be processed this morning to be fresh. Someone has already gone to catch them. Let’s prepare the wild vegetable dumplings and side dishes first. When the loaches come, we can start directly.” Said Aunt Guihua.
“Who went to catch loaches? Why didn’t I hear any news?” Sun Laidi was confused.
“Who else could it be? Of course, it must be the village scouts.” Aunt Dongmei could guess the answer with just her feet. Hu Wa from Guihua’s family, that boy, was so young and yet he could take on important tasks.
Yi Qingqing couldn’t help laughing. Little kids really can’t be underestimated.
A few people quickly completed the other preparations. Then two children came over with their heads held high and buckets in their hands.
“Here come the loaches!” They shouted loudly as soon as they came in.
This time they accepted the organization’s task openly and no longer had to sneak around. They walked directly from the main road. Along the way, they received kind praises and condolences from the elders in the fields.
This was the time when their self-confidence was swelling and they were in high spirits.
“Pour it in here.” Yi Qingqing put a large deep wooden basin on the ground.
The two children poured the loaches in it, “There are more at the back!”
After saying that, they ran away. They still had to go back to work.
