Chapter 418 There is no rule to talk about being a daughter slave!
The three little ones hang out with Han Cheng almost every day. In fact, it’s mainly because Guaiguai wants to play ball with Han Cheng, so the second and third ones follow him.
Han Cheng had been severely punished and warned by Han Minghui, so he was even more afraid that Huo Yisheng would punish him. Therefore, when he took the three little ones to play, he was still patient and would not go to dangerous places.
Now that there was someone to take care of Sanxiao, Ye Shu had free time every day.
When it's cold outside, she basically stays at home reading and studying.
Now that I'm in the wilderness, I don't know if I can catch up with this year's final exams, but no matter what, I can't fall behind in my studies.
After all, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared!
After everyone had rested, they began to dismantle and clean their belongings.
I want to take apart and wash the clothes and quilt covers and sheets that got dirty on the road.
But without the sun, it can’t be dried at all!
So I just hung the washed clothes in the igloo. Anyway, in order to keep warm, I had to burn fire in the igloo all day long. If the clothes couldn’t be dried in the sun, I might as well bake them in the oven!
To make a fire, you need firewood, so the soldiers began to organize teams and go up the mountain to collect and chop firewood.
The comrades in the family compound could not sit idle and could not go to the distant mountains with the large group to collect firewood, but there happened to be a small hill nearby, so they went together to collect firewood on the small hill.
That day, Ye Shu finished reading a book, lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to review the content in his mind to deepen his understanding.
Because there was no electric light, we had to watch it by the light of the firewood in the house.
In order not to strain his eyes, Ye Shu could only light another oil lamp to ensure that there was sufficient light within his field of vision.
But the oil lamps burned out too quickly and consumed too much energy. Even though she had bought some before, they were consumed very quickly after being burned all day long.
In order to save a little, I had to change my previous learning method.
After reading a book, instead of quickly flipping through it to review it, review it directly in your mind. This way you can temporarily turn off the oil lamp, save fuel, reduce eye strain, and give your eyes a rest.
Later I found that this method is also very helpful for learning, and it seems to improve learning efficiency.
Huo Yisheng had been away from home for two days. When he returned, he saw Ye Shu lying on the bed. Startled, he rushed forward and asked, "Wife? What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
The terrain here is much higher than that of the islands, so many people who first arrive here will indeed feel uncomfortable.
In fact, Ye Shu had heard his footsteps coming in a long time ago, but she waited until she finished going over the learning content in her mind before opening her eyes.
Meeting his worried gaze, I quickly said, "I'm fine. I just closed my eyes to rest and review the book I just read."
This is so different from her previous enthusiasm for reading and studying!
Huo Yisheng looked at her suspiciously, then looked at the extinguished oil lamp on the table, and a guess came to his mind: "Are you worried about the lamp oil?"
Ye Shu didn't deny it either: "Yes, I didn't notice it when I bought it, but I feel like it's consumed so quickly after using it."
Huo Yisheng got on the bed and lay beside her, then reached out and pulled her into his arms, touching the top of her head and saying:
"Don't worry, we went to the mountains to collect firewood these two days and happened to find a hilltop covered with tung trees."
Ye Shu was startled and immediately realized: "Tung oil?"
Huo Yisheng: "Yes, I plan to assign a team to specialize in the production of tung oil."
Ye Shu was puzzled: "And then sell it?"
Huo Yisheng corrected her with a smile: "Send it to the supply station."
Ye Shu understood. It actually meant to sell it. However, individuals were not allowed to speculate in those days, and collectively produced items had to be sent to special purchasing points.
It seems that now that they are here, they can only rely on their own efforts to support their living expenses in the future!
Seeing her looking at him with pity and sympathy, Huo Yisheng couldn't help but laugh: "What are you imagining?"
After thinking for a moment, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Do you understand the trick of deception?"
Ye Shu was stunned for a moment, then understood.
They must have a mission to come here, but it cannot be disclosed to the outside world. However, with so many people, they have to find something to do openly. Building a factory to refine tung oil is a good way.
Whether or not it makes money is secondary, but people must see that there are machines running, people are producing, and products are being produced.
Huo Yisheng knew that his wife was smart and understood things immediately.
Ye Shu: "But, we can't make tung oil now, right?"
Although she didn't know much about the physical steps of refining tung oil, she knew that one of the processes must be drying tung seeds.
But there is no sun here at all now!
Han Minghui asked the local villagers and learned that it is difficult to see the sun in winter here before the spring. Even if there is sun, the sunlight is not strong and is fleeting, making it unsuitable for drying things in the sun.
Huo Yisheng kissed the top of her head:
"Yes, we can collect some tung oil fruits now. Local villagers also have some dried tung oil seeds at home. We can collect them and make a small amount now. We will be able to press oil in large quantities in the spring of next year."
Ye Shu: "Then is it okay for me to use it myself?"
Huo Yisheng smiled: "Silly boy, we are now at the grassroots level of production. Of course, everything must be done to satisfy the collective first. By then, not only you, but everyone can use it."
This is great!
Ye Shu also laughed!
Huo Yisheng asked about the three little ones again, and when he learned that Guaiguai could now hit the little white ball with a small racket, he immediately raised his eyebrows.
Although she didn't say a word, her expression said, "Look! This is my daughter! She's amazing!"
Ye Shu laughed: "Come on, I was just hanging the little white ball with a string to tease her!"
Han Cheng felt that it was stupid and foolish for him to play basketball in front of the little girl, so he thought of a way to trick the little girl into playing by herself.
She did have a small racket, which was specially made for her by Lao Huo. It was very small and light.
Sure enough, the little girl became interested after she got the hang of it. She happily wanted to play by herself every day and no longer pestered Han Cheng to watch him play like a monkey show.
Huo Yisheng raised his eyebrows:
"How old is she? She's still a girl. When other children are her age, can they hold a racket steadily? And can they hit the ball accurately? It's lucky she didn't get hit by the ball!"
Ye Shu: “…”
There is nothing to say to my daughter slave!
I pushed him and chased him away: "Go and do your thing! I still have to study! I haven't finished my study assignment for today."
Huo Yisheng hugged her even tighter, as if offering a treasure: "I have some good news to tell you, guess what?"
Ye Shu didn't guess.
Huo Yisheng was not annoyed and prepared to speak on his own.
Before he could open his mouth, he heard footsteps outside. A soldier stood at the door of the ice house and said quickly, panting, "Is Comrade Ye Shu here?"
Before he could finish his words, he looked up and saw Captain Huo coming out with a dark face, staring at him expressionlessly.
The young soldier gasped in fright and burped, "Oh no! Something happened!"
