Chapter 153 Winter Supplies Sent by Lin's Mother
"It's not even September yet, and Mom is sending my winter clothes? Is it so early?"
Lin Yinyin quickly moved the things that were blocking Lin Jianhe's way away to prevent her brother from falling to the ground without being able to see.
"It's not too early. Frost is only a month away, and it will be cold then. Here we will have snow in October, and after the snow, we will officially start hibernating."
"So early? Then when do we start storing food for the winter? Should we start preparing now?"
This is the first time that Lin Yinyin has spent the winter in the Northeast since she was a child. She heard that people here stockpile vegetables in the winter. They stockpile one or two thousand kilograms of cabbage and several sacks of potatoes.
There are also various pickles and dried vegetables, which need to be prepared in advance. After all, the winter in Heilongjiang Province lasts for nearly half a year!
This is really unimaginable. Lin Yinyin is still wearing short sleeves and has to use a big palm-leaf fan to cool herself down at noon!
In another month, I'll have to wear a cotton-padded jacket? That's too fast.
"You can save some now. Haven't you been drying vegetables all the time? You'll have to start preparing next month. By the end of September, the vegetables in the small vegetable garden will have to be plowed up, and by then there will be no fresh vegetables to eat."
Lin Jianhe put the big package on the table in the room for Lin Yinyin, instead of throwing it directly on the kang, because he felt that the package was not very clean.
"There will be no vegetables to eat in the small vegetable garden next month? Then we have to prepare now. Next month we have to stock up on autumn vegetables and harvest. How can we handle it all?
I also need to stock up on food for the winter. I'm just sitting there basking in the sun. No, I have to start preparing now while I don't have to go to work."
Lin Yinyin started to get nervous as she spoke. September is really the busiest season for people in Northeast China. They worry about whether they will have enough to eat next year and whether they will have enough food and drink throughout the winter.
Thinking of this, Lin Yinyin's brain began to expand. As the logistics minister of the educated youth backyard, she was self-proclaimed~
She plans to make a list today of things she needs to prepare for the winter. She must have a warm winter this year.
Just imagine heating up the kang and lighting the stove in winter, and eating an old Beijing copper pot hot pot of meat!
That's simply unique!
Just thinking about those days makes me feel so comfortable.
As for how to eat beef and mutton... then I can only rely on Hammerhead. Suddenly I feel that I am very smart. Let Hammerhead trade with her brother. In this way, if I get something good, I can take it out without anyone suspecting me.
"The weather isn't cold enough yet, so some things can't be preserved. Right now, all we can do is dry some vegetables. The potatoes will be harvested next week, so you can dry some then."
"Potatoes can be dried? I've never eaten them before."
This is really Lin Yinyin's blind spot. She has never eaten this before. Is it delicious?
She likes to eat potatoes, no matter whether they are fried, stir-fried, steamed or deep-fried. She will always love potatoes.
"I only just came here to eat it. You've definitely never tasted that flavor before. Let's go ask Aunt Luo how she makes it and then we can make it together."
Lin Jianhe and his friends had just arrived last year. The old educated youth did not tell them the importance of stockpiling autumn vegetables. They did not have a good life that year. If they had not found some ways to make money on the black market, they would probably have starved!
Everything I eat and use is bought on the black market.
"Okay, I'll prepare something else first."
"Okay, don't tire yourself out. I'm going to work."
"I know~"
After Lin Yinyin sent Lin Jianhe away, she couldn't wait to open the package sent by Lin's mother.
Wow, there are really a lot of things. In addition to the ten-pound quilt, there is also a very thick cotton-padded jacket made of small floral fabric. It is obvious that the material was chosen by Third Sister Lin.
There were cotton-padded clothes and trousers, as well as two pairs of cotton shoes, one for Lin Jianhe and one for her.
They both also had cotton gloves and cotton hats, but Lin Yinyin also had a set of sweaters and pants than Lin Jianhe.
There are so many things. No wonder Lin’s mother sent these things only after she had been in the countryside for several months. These things are not easy to find!
The house is already a mess, and I'm still thinking about sending them things.
After packing up everything, Lin Yinyin opened the letter sent by Lin's third sister. It turned out that Lin's mother's letters always contained the same few sentences, and she never mentioned any major events that happened at home.
Lin Yinyin's brows furrowed as soon as she opened the letter and read a few lines. Lin Jianping's housing allocation quota was blocked by someone, saying that because he was not married yet, their family's housing pressure was not too great.
Let him wait a little longer...
However, Lin Jianping's father-in-law already knew that he was going to divide the house, and he thought that his daughter would be able to move out and live on her own once she got married.
Now that this has happened, the woman's side no longer mentions getting them married. Maybe they're planning to wait a little longer.
Lin's mother has been worried about this matter recently and has been unable to sleep all night. She has been thinking about whether she can get her unit to give her a housing quota.
However, after reading the letter written by Lin Sanjie, Lin Yinyin felt a little displeased with Lin Jianping's future mother-in-law's family.
How many people can move out right after getting married these days? That's the financial situation of her family. Besides, the reason why Lin Jianping couldn't get a share of the house was because of something going on with his girlfriend.
If you have the guts, go and make a scene with leader Lin Jianping. Lin Yinyin looked down and heard that it was Lin's father who couldn't accept the countryside environment and kept clamoring to come back. He had come back twice, but Lin's mother didn't let him in.
It can be seen that Lin's mother is determined to punish Lin's father this time, even though he is just doing some farm work.
If she and Lin Jianhe can do it, why can't Lin's father do it?
He has been living a good life for too long. He feels like he is dying if he does any physical work. As for the attitude of those people in the old Lin family house towards Lin's father, only his father himself knows it.
Father Lin, who had lost his job and money, was no longer as popular as he used to be after returning to the Lin family's old house.
When I get home, it’s already great to be able to eat dry food, let alone meat.
In the words of Old Lady Lin, "how many work points you earn is how much food you eat." Father Lin has lost a lot of weight recently.
But no one cared about this. The people at the Lin family's old house just felt that Lin's father was no longer useful, and Lin's mother had an easier life since he passed away.
If it weren't for the trouble with Lin Jianping, there's no need to mention how happy my life is now.
As for Lin Xiafang, the third sister of the Lin family, she still lives a happy life of eating and drinking every day! If only she could get more pocket money every month.
The little fat boy Lin Jianan has lost a lot of weight now, but he eats more. He is probably starting to grow taller.
