Bai Yuqing happily entered the big gate of their home.
Compared to other fungus types, white fungus is relatively storage-resistant. However, after freshly cultivated white fungus, within two to three days, the water will dry up, first the fungus will change color, and then the entire surface will turn yellow. So before harvesting, you must stop watering a day in advance. When harvesting, open the fungus cover completely, but still with a slight edge, the best time before releasing. Light harvesting, light picking, light loading. Next is grading processing, after grading the surface will be air-dried, wrapped in preservation paper. Other fungus farmers like to use potassium permanganate, nitric acid or acetic acid for disinfection for ten minutes, but never in summer. The packaged fungus is placed in sample boxes, moved to cold storage, cannot be stacked during pre-cooling, and cannot be directly placed in preservation, otherwise it will form heat and accelerate fungus transformation. After ten to twelve hours, it can be calculated. Use air conditioning preservation segmentation, placed in circulating or paper tubes, with neat packaging, ensuring air circulation.
The mushrooms will appear on the exquisite dining table in the evening, providing guests with a quick meal.
Mushroom harvesting is the most labor-intensive work. The farmers hurriedly sat down. There were no pest doubts and no machine injuries. The fungus must be cut flat, the stem length cannot exceed two centimeters, when cutting the stem, try not to let the cultivation base attach, use a brush to clean, arrange neatly.
After a whole day’s work, the skin on the fingers was worn out. Using transparent mesh gloves, mushroom picking was quite difficult. Bai Yuqing looked at her hands, her waist also aching. Unable to bear it, she kept changing positions. Bai Yuqing said you’re tired, you’re a child worker and we’ll cut you. Her waist told her she was definitely tired. Bai Yuqing smiled, still lowering her head to pick.
Bai Yuqing sometimes also picks mushrooms, but mainly responsible for transporting the sorted mushrooms to the machine site. From the airport back to the seed site, she would pass the research institute. The research institute was at a road junction, and in summer during red and green lights, she would always look there. This habit was recently developed. Entering and exiting the research institute, sometimes seeing white-clothed people, sometimes also seeing Zhou Moqiao. Zhou Moqiao was old, and this old figure’s loneliness made people feel sympathetic.
This woman stopped again at the intersection waiting for the red light, standing at the research institute’s entrance with her mother, looking familiar. Isn’t this the second daughter! The woman parked her vehicle by the roadside.
The second daughter looked lost and dejected, her belly quite large, clearly pregnant. The little girl stood on the ground, twisting her fingers nervously. This summer, she walked directly in front of her and asked if she was looking for someone. The woman spoke up, saying that Doctor Su was a good person who had always helped her care for this sickly daughter. She wondered why two months had passed without Doctor Su returning, and who knew where he was… How could this be? She was about to give birth, and this sick father had no doctor’s help, and things weren’t looking good.
The woman gently touched the little girl’s face. The little girl stared at her with wide eyes. This summer asked if the girl still wanted her, and the woman said she couldn’t raise her, but wouldn’t sell her. Raising a child was beyond her means. Finding someone good to care for her would be difficult, especially with a sick child who was also a girl. This summer asked if Doctor Su could help her.
Song Yanru was still digging for mushrooms in the big field. The woman came to her side and instructed the little girl: Call her Aunt Yanru.
Little Ruru.
Song Yanru raised her head, first looking at the little girl, then at this summer. Behind her stood a big-bellied woman. This summer told Song Yanru that she was giving herself this little girl, so she called her Little Ruru. Song Yanru’s eyes were sharp and clear, asking after half a day, do you remember Doctor Su?
She remembered. Doctor Su was very good to her mother. Doctor Su bought good things for the baby. If her mother didn’t buy things for the baby, her father wouldn’t care about the baby.
The woman said this was all Doctor Su’s arrangement, and she could only afford Doctor Su. Song Yanru looked at her and asked if she really couldn’t raise the child. The woman said if you want, I’ll send her to you. The girl would follow her and receive care, and she wasn’t worried, as long as she had food to eat. If you don’t want me to look after her, I won’t come, I’ll give her to you, and Doctor Su’s arrangement would definitely be good.
Song Yanru’s face was full of tears, smiling and calling Doctor Su. Calling her father, I’ll take you back.
The little girl hesitated: Father.
From the pocket, Song Yanru took out a photo, showing the little girl. The girl opened it and pointed at Doctor Su, saying: Is this father? Where did father go?
Father went to find medicine for the baby.
Is this father’s old friend?
Yes, but you must call me Aunt Yanru.
Oh, Little Ruru.
Adopting Little Ruru required a series of procedures. This summer went to find a doctor.
“You need to urgently get a child’s proof,” This summer said. “Song Yanru isn’t yet thirty and doesn’t meet adoption conditions. This child should follow her, and with this child, I can be more at ease.”
The northern accent said: “Getting a child’s proof requires going through the welfare court. Song Yanru currently has no fixed job, and the Ministry of Civil Affairs might not evaluate her favorably during assessment.”
“I have several houses in Beijing, which I’ll transfer to Song Yanru. This should work.”
The northern accent understood, definitely willing to help. I think looking at Little Ruru, how could this child’s life be so good? Talking back, aren’t you crazy? You’re more cunning than a cunning fox, how could you suddenly have real gold?
The woman also felt strange, thinking about this house, surrounded by a pile of broken bricks. She had saved several houses, just wanting peace of mind. Even if she handed over the house deed, her heart was still unsettled. Song Yanru was practical, her father-in-law was righteous, working these years had all been for her. Doctor Su hadn’t even left enough money for her mother-in-law to buy a car. She had nothing left.
On the way, talking with the north, Song Yanru had signed an agreement with the Production department, she had no reproductive capacity, and would she really not plan to marry and have children? This wasn’t a joke.
The woman said, minority nationalities can have two children, isn’t this just one?
Feng Bao, leaning against the wall, said, “I’ve been wandering on this road, and I want to find a project for you to make money. This summer, I want to make it clear to you that I have no background and no capital, and can only rely on earning hard money. This society has a hierarchy, and it’s not easy for you to want to die, and it’s even harder to rise to the top. As long as you have the ability to sell, you can still get by in the future.”
Feng Bao laughed, “Aren’t you the one who does wind and cloud stories on TV news? Dreams say that those are all things from when you were young. These years have given me too many restrictions, so the space has become smaller. People still have some bottom line; otherwise, even if you get on TV news, what can you do? I don’t want to end up like Zhou Meng jumping around being ridiculed by others. The hardest thing is that Zhou Meng himself knows he’s been ridiculed, and you think he’s in pain?”
