1968: At the beginning, the beautiful sister-in-law came to borrow food! Chapter 164

The night passed without a word, and early the next morning, their biological clocks woke everyone up on time.

Li Yunfeng and the others simply packed up, and after eating their fill, they checked their guns.

After checking, they walked towards Wild Boar Ridge.

“I say, none of you are short on money now. Why don’t you buy some of those Russian weapons?”

“Otherwise, you can go to the city and buy some Type 54 semi-automatic rifles or something.”

“These shotguns are powerful, but reloading them is a pain in the ass.”

The last time they encountered wolves, it was because it took too long to reload.

If everyone had been carrying an AK back then,

Even five hundred wolves or five hundred wild boars could have been wiped out!

As long as there were enough bullets, there would be no problem at all.

However, there was a very serious BUG with this matter!

That is, without hunting good prey, they wouldn’t have money to buy AKs.

The price of AKs was not cheap at the moment.

But without AKs, they didn’t dare to go too deep into the mountains.

This formed a vicious cycle, just like Li Yunfeng now.

He dared to traverse the mountain range alone because he had a lot of weapons.

“Hey, what are you talking about? Who doesn’t want to use an AK!”

“That thing can shoot two li away. We just didn’t have money back then!”

“Now that we have money, we don’t dare to spend it like that.”

“Wait for a while, we’ll buy some in the summer.”

“Then we’ll go up the mountain again at that time.”

“Yunfeng, you don’t know, but it’s really lively on our mountain in the summer.”

“Many hibernating beasts haven’t appeared yet at this time.”

It was indeed very lively here in the summer.

There could even be a creature that could contend with a Siberian tiger.

A brown bear!

A black bear was no match for a Siberian tiger.

But a brown bear was different!

This thing was the second biggest among bears, with a very large body.

One was a polar bear; that thing was even bigger.

People usually had a feeling when they saw photos.

But imagine you live on the second floor, and a polar bear can stand up and enter your house through the window.

This thing is over three meters tall and extremely large.

On land, the only creature that could consistently beat it was an African elephant.

Because that thing was even bigger.

“Alright, we’ll talk about it then!”

“But besides planting crops, do we have any other things to do here in the summer?”

Li Yunfeng asked the brothers curiously at this point.

The winter here was still very long.

When Li Yunfeng arrived, the Hongqi Production Team had just finished handing over their public grain.

Four months passed without any work.

According to Li Xiulian, they wouldn’t be able to start planting until around May 1st.

“Yes, we don’t have much going on in the winter here.”

“But in the summer, there’s a lot to do.”

“Not to mention anything else, we have to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables in mid-April.”

“Those wild vegetables are our first meal of the spring here!”

“After digging wild vegetables, we have to go to the fields to dig up oak trees.”

“Then we have to burn off the weeds, and after that, we start plowing the fields.”

“After plowing, we have to wait at home for the rain, and after it rains, we start planting.”

“After planting, we have to go up the mountain to collect firewood.”

“Otherwise, if we don’t have enough firewood in winter, people can really freeze to death.”

“Unless you go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy coal, but coal is too expensive.”

“By August, we have to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms.”

“Picking mushrooms and collecting firewood up the mountain will take at least a month.”

“In early October, after resting at home for a week, we start harvesting!”

“Harvesting is very tiring, and in November, we still have to hand over the public grain!”

Er Lengzi, while smoking, told Li Yunfeng about the things they had to do in the summer.

Hearing Er Lengzi’s explanation, Li Yunfeng also felt that this place was quite busy in the summer.

Although the planting time wasn’t long, the total time before and after wouldn’t exceed three months.

But for the remaining three months, good heavens, it was digging wild vegetables, picking mushrooms on the mountain, and collecting firewood on the mountain.

No, I won’t go up the mountain to collect firewood.

I still have a lot of firewood in my space.

The space rewarded me with five tons before, and I’ve only burned a little over one ton so far.

Plus, if I buy some coal, I can also get through the winter.

The brothers chatted and laughed, and walked all the way to where they had set the traps before.

Sure enough, as soon as they arrived, everyone saw a lot of bones on the traps.

“Look, we’re late.”

“This clearly caught something.”

“But these things were all eaten by wild beasts.”

“Only bones are left.”

“Let’s go, let’s go check other places!”

Everyone wandered around for a while, and sure enough, all the traps had caught something.

But the things caught in these traps had all been eaten.

It was simply that they came too late.

It has to be said, these traps were still very useful.

The brothers wandered around, took down the traps, and took them directly back.

They wouldn’t set traps here anymore; it was too far from the village.

They decided to just set traps in the mountain forest at the entrance of the village.

They would just trap some pheasants and rabbits or something.

Rabbits, let alone now, even in later generations, are not protected animals!

It’s just that they are too harmful, not to mention, their reproduction speed is incredibly fast.

Their numbers double in just a few months.

They can’t even be eaten fast enough.

It can be said that it was fortunate that there were so many wild beasts in the mountain forests here.

Otherwise, rabbits would have directly proliferated, but as the number of wild beasts decreased,

The number of rabbits, on the other hand, increased!

After everyone packed up their things, they walked towards Wild Boar Ridge.

They planned to hunt a wild boar here to take back.

They couldn’t take two back; the donkey was half-crippled now.

Li Yunfeng was a bit better, but his walking was still a little abnormal.

His arm, which had been shot through, was still a bit sore.

It would probably take another month or so for it to heal.

Anyway, it didn’t hinder Li Yunfeng from earning work points.

Li Yunfeng had already thought it through. After spring planting,

He would go earn work points himself, and the women would just cook in the cafeteria.

If they couldn’t cook, they could just stay at home.

He wasn’t short on their share, and besides, cooking in the cafeteria wasn’t that tiring.

It’s just that the work points were relatively low, usually earned by older people in the village.

Young people didn’t care for such low work points.

Because the work points earned from cooking in the cafeteria were the same as those earned by six or seven-year-old children herding cattle.

It could be said to be very awkward.

So, not many people were willing to go to the cafeteria to eat.

Mainly because the cafeteria only provided lunch, and they still had to go home for breakfast and dinner.
