Chapter 313: Mailed him a package?
"Xiaobei, I'm going into the mountains to harvest honey tomorrow. Do you want to go?"
Wild honey in the mountains is harvested once a month.
This honey is a multi-flower honey, which is very nourishing to the body.
"Is it much?"
"I'll make two trips. I also plan to harvest some honey from the cliff."
After the spring, Grandpa Zhao made several more beehives.
I used to go into the mountains to harvest honey once a month.
But starting last month, I have to mow twice a month.
It was too honey-y and the whole family couldn’t finish it.
Mail it to Mr. Huo’s military compound in Beijing, to the family compound of the Beijing Military District, to Zhao Aijun and Zhao Jianbin, and even to Shanghai, as well as to my brothers and uncle in the city.
But I still can’t finish it.
If you don't cut it, it will be wasted.
I plan to sell this batch of honey on the black market.
"Then I'll go into the mountains with you tomorrow afternoon."
No comment on that.
The wheat has been harvested, and the corn will be harvested in more than half a month.
Both of them went into the mountains carrying a backpack and a wooden barrel.
"Be careful, it's hot and there are snakes."
"I know." He was wearing long pants with the legs tied up, long-sleeved clothes, a hat, a lighter and some other things.
When the two of them arrived at the small cliff, they began to make preparations and smoke.
The two were busy for several hours and harvested two large buckets of honey. They even saw wild peaches and raspberries, and filled a lot of them in a cloth bag before taking Huo Shaobei back.
"Nini, this is too much honey. Are you really planning to sell it on the black market?"
Zhao Yunshu shrugged. "We can't not go, right? Look at all the honey we harvested this time. The boxes are full. If it doesn't work out, we can mail some to your eldest brother, your uncle, and your second brother. I don't think you sent any last time, so we can mail them some mushroom meat sauce as well."
Are you planning to mail something to everyone in my family?
"Didn't my second brother mail us a lot of dried seafood last month? It's a give-and-take thing."
What else can Huo Shaobei say?
They produce honey every month.
The whole family couldn’t finish it.
My family drinks honey water every day, but there is too much honey.
Grandma Zhao knew that they had gone into the mountains, so she waited at home. When she saw them coming back with baskets on their backs, she knew they had harvested a lot of honey.
The three of them quickly got to work and filled a large jar.
"Too milky, too milky..."
"You still remember to come back? I thought you were back?"
As soon as he entered the house, Xiao Zhuang saw wild fruits and wild peaches.
"Xiao Zhuang, let's go into the mountains to pick bayberries tomorrow."
Bayberry?
And bayberry?
Is watermelon sweet?
"There are wild sweet potatoes..."
Anyway, I'm used to going into the mountains with my aunt.
"Aunt, do you still have that insect repellent?"
"Go buy some from your Grandpa Shi."
Xiaozhuang immediately took the money and went to buy medicine.
There are insects and snakes in the mountains.
After Huo Shaobei mailed a batch of things, he went to buy a batch of glass bottles.
The post office staff all knew Huo Shaobei.
Come to pick up and mail the package every once in a while.
The Huo and Zhao family members were slightly surprised when they received the honey and mushroom meat sauce.
Especially Aunt Huo on the island, she had her packages and her nephew's packages.
"Grandma, was it our great-grandmother who mailed this to us?" Xiao Yuer asked curiously, staring at the package.
Aunt Huo shook her head, "No, it's your uncle."
Little uncle?
"That's the uncle your grandma brought you back to Beijing to attend his wedding last year. You even played with him."
Xiao Yu'er thought for a moment, "Aunt..."
When Aunt Huo opened it, she saw honey and mushroom meat sauce in the glass bottle.
Xiaobei actually mailed so many things to them?
"Grandma, there is meat in it, there is meat..." Xiao Yuer noticed the glass bottle of meat sauce with his sharp eyes.
“There is meat.”
There is plenty of seafood on their island, but eating meat is a bit more troublesome.
"Grandma, I want to try it." Xiao Yuer is still young and has not gone to school yet.
"I'll give you a taste."
After Aunt Huo unscrewed the bottle cap, she gave Xiao Yuer a little taste.
"Grandma, it's delicious."
This is probably the mushroom sauce made by Xiaobei's mother-in-law.
"Grandma will make you some honey water."
Honey water to drink?
"Sweet?"
Aunt Huo nodded and said, "It's sweet. After drinking the honey water, go find your Uncle Xi and ask him to go to the guard room to get the package."
Xiao Yuer nodded quickly, "Grandma, honey water, honey water."
Xiao Yuer was born in a staff housing compound. Although he looks small, he is very familiar with the entire compound.
After drinking a glass of honey water, Xiaoyuer was satisfied.
Go and call Huo Shaoxi to get something from the guard room.
"Uncle Xi, Uncle Xi..."
When Huo Shaoxi saw his nephew, he immediately called him over, "Xiao Yu'er, what's going on?"
"My uncle sent a package in the mail. It's delicious honey water and some mushroom meat... The security guard picked up the package."
Little uncle?
little brother?
Sent him a package?
He had previously mailed some seafood to Xiaobei.
They are too far away from the sea, so it is really not easy to eat seafood.
"Okay, uncle got it. It's hot, go back early."
Wait for Huo Shaoxi to come back with the package.
"Captain Huo, what good things did your family send you?"
"Honey....."
Honey?
They are all men, why would they drink honey?
I was too embarrassed to ask for food.
"Give you a bottle?"
"It is too sweet."
"We don't want it."
"Yes, we are not lesbians and don't eat that kind of stuff."
"Captain Huo, give Xiaoyuer some water, give Xiaoyuer some water."
Huo Shaoxi didn’t know what that mushroom meat thing was.
Only after arriving at the dormitory did Huo Shaoxi open the package and see the glass bottle inside.
Several bottles.
You know it’s honey when you see the color.
I also saw several bottles of mushroom meat sauce. I opened one and immediately the aroma of mushrooms and meat wafted out.
This mushroom is actually made of chicken mushroom.
Was it Xiaobei who did it, or was it Xiaobei’s wife who did it?
Or was it done by Xiaobei’s mother-in-law?
After putting it away, I went to get some food. I returned to the dormitory and scooped out a few spoonfuls. When I tasted it, the fragrance immediately filled my mouth.
It’s really delicious and a little spicy.
Several members of the Zhao and Huo families were happy when they received the package.
Especially Mr. Huo, he missed his grandson and his wife again.
I hope winter comes soon so that I can have an excuse to continue calling them over.
Suddenly it was time to harvest corn.
Zhao Yunshu also joined in wearing a straw hat. She did not pick the corn, but pushed the cart to the drying yard.
The harvest was completed in just a few days.
"This year, our brigade has more educated youth coming."
Captain Zhao frowned slightly because of this.
It is really difficult to manage so many of these educated youth.
"Dad, aren't there places at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University?"
Captain Zhao looked at Zhao Yunshu, "Nini, who told you this?"
Who is idle anyway?
Do you think you can get this spot by going to Nini's side?
Why can’t this spot be reserved for the team?
