The next day, Su Ruanruan and Xiao Chengjin worked hard all day to make all the remaining meat from the Su family into dried meat.
After the dried meat is cooled, wrap it in oil paper, put it in a dry clay pot, and store it in a cool place in the house.
Even so, it will only last longer than fresh meat.
But Su Ruanruan also liked to eat this, and she probably would have eaten it all before it went bad.
The weather is particularly good this year. It rains every few days. No matter how good the farmers are, they don’t need to water much.
There was plenty of rain and good fertilizers. The crops grew well, but the weeds were also extremely lush.
Therefore, Xiao Dashan has to arrange for people from the production team to go to the fields to pull weeds every day.
It doesn't require any technical skills or effort, and anyone of any age can do it.
Everyone seems to be able to earn more work points, so some elderly people who have stopped working have started working during this period.
Xiao Dashan was afraid that someone would take advantage of the old water and make trouble, so he allocated a piece of land to each person every day.
When it's time to call it a day, let the scorer check the field.
Those who work hard will definitely not get a few work points.
In this way, everyone works hard and no one is lazy or slippery. Everyone in the third production brigade is more motivated to work, and the crops in the fields will grow better.
Time flies to the end of May. For this period of time, Su Jianjun still comes to Su's house to visit Su Aimin every day, but he never has too much contact with Su Ruanruan. At most, he just nods.
Su Ruanruan was very satisfied with this. As long as Su Jianjun didn't mess with her, she had no objection to wanting to see Su Aimin.
Summer has arrived at the end of May, and the weather is already getting hotter.
After entering summer, it rains significantly more.
Sometimes it rains in the middle of the morning and the middle of the afternoon.
The rain in summer comes quickly and urgently. After falling hard, it will leave quickly, leaving only a piece of mud on the ground.
On this day, Xiao Chengjin came over as usual after breakfast and told Su Ruanruan that he was going to the county seat.
He often ran to the county town recently, and she didn't know what he was going for. Su Ruanruan asked twice, but when he didn't say anything, she stopped asking.
Anyway, Xiao Chengjin wouldn't do anything bad.
After lunch, the sky quickly became gloomy again, and soon there were lightning, thunder, and violent storms.
Su Ruanruan sat on the kang, looking at the continuous rain curtain outside. Fortunately, last month, she and Xiao Chengjin strengthened the roof of Su's house.
Otherwise, it will probably rain heavily outside and light rain inside.
The heavy rain stopped after more than an hour, but the ground in the yard was full of holes and small puddles everywhere.
The ground in their yard was rolled with stone rollers, but puddles were still made by the rain. From this, we can see how heavy the rain was.
Su Ruanruan's eyes didn't stay on the ground for long. What she was thinking now was, Xiao Chengjin shouldn't be back, right
Xiao Chengjin always goes to the county town recently, but comes back early or late.
If he happened to be on the road, he would probably get quite wet.
But Su Ruanruan kept waiting. The sun was going down and she didn't see Xiao Chengjin, so she knew that Xiao Chengjin must not have been caught in the rain.
It gets dark late in the summer, and the three of the Su family finished dinner and it was still light.
Of course it was impossible to sleep at this time, so Su Ruoran and the three of them sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air.
There was a large wooden basin in the yard. In the basin was ice-cold well water that Su Ruanruan had just drawn, and a small watermelon was soaked in it.
