Chapter 16 Going Home (1)

He Xuan found that after his mental power reached 2.55, his thinking seemed to be stronger.

In one's body, there seems to be another soul. No, we should not be called the soul, but...the remnant soul.

Only by immersing in consciousness can I gradually understand the meaning of this remnant soul.

The remnant soul itself is the remnant soul of the original owner of this body.

He was bullied by Liang Tong much and suffered another cold.

He now only has one wish, hoping that He Xuan can take good care of his family.

In this way, he can turn into ashes.

Otherwise, he would still be entangled with He Xuan's soul.

"Since you have borrowed your body, let's fulfill your wish for the remnant soul." He Xuan murmured and called Zhang Heizi out: "Heizi, I'm going out next. During this period, you will manage the training of new recruits in Qingshan Dun and the expansion of the city wall."

Zhang Heizi nodded repeatedly when he heard this: "Yes. Boss, where are you going? Should you send someone to follow me?"

He wanted to say it was safer, but when he thought about the boss's skills, he didn't need someone to follow him.

He Xuan arrived at Shi Wei, rode a horse, and set off with some dry food.

The hometown of this body belongs to the Shandong Province, and is not too far from Xuanzhen Prefecture.

Seven days later.

He Xuan came here, mountain, east province, Qingzhou Prefecture, Wu County, Heiniu Town, and Zhuqiao Village.

Is this the ancient village?

Some civilized houses are sparsely decorated.

Only in the middle of the village can there be continuous houses with blue bricks and tiles, which should be the village landlord Zhou Bapi.

With the memories in his mind, He Xuan walked to the east corner of the village, in front of a half-blue brick and half-dirt house. There were three houses in total, with half-short kitchens.

This is the He family.

There are now five people in the He family.

He’s father He Ming is an honest man in his forties, with a rude spirit and a good job in farm work.

He's mother, Wang, was a gentle and well-mannered woman who was good at sewing clothes. She often went to the town to make clothes for women from the landlords and earn some money.

He Jin, the eldest brother of the He family, is a man in his early twenties. He is as honest and honest as He’s father, He Ming, and has a strong sense of strength. He is also good at doing farm work. But like He Ming, he is not good at doing farm work. He has lived in the countryside since he was a child, and he doesn’t know how to read it. The farthest place he has been to is the people in the town, so he can’t have much knowledge.

The second son of the He family is He Xuan.

The third son of the He family is He Qi. He is a thirteen or four-year-old girl. I guess his family will start to discuss marriage. He Qi is actually a very good girl. At a young age, she has done pig grass cutting and other work. And she is also learning needlework with He’s mother Wang, and her level is quite high. Sometimes Wang takes some sewing and does clothes work, so the little girl can also take over.

A family makes a living by farming.

The family has a total of three acres of paddy fields and five acres of dry land.

Don’t think that eight acres of land are a lot. In this day, there was no such era when Yuan Longping had no hybrid rice. One acre of good paddy fields can produce about 400 kilograms of rice, while one acre of dry land can produce 200 kilograms of rice. This is equivalent to these five acres of paddy fields and ten acres of dry land, which can produce a total of more than 2,000 kilograms of grain in a year.

Although the food belongs to one's own, taxes have to be paid these days. According to the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang set the tax system of fifteen taxes one.

But actually, haha, the weather is so good.

This was the late Ming Dynasty, when the administration was extremely corrupt, and governments in various places had long produced various names of harsh and complicated taxes. Basically, the more than 2,000 kilograms of grain had to be paid in seven or eight hundred kilograms of grain.

And what remains is more than a thousand kilograms of food.

The four people from He family all lived on more than a thousand kilograms of food and lived in poverty. They occasionally used food to exchange for cloth and pulled clothes. As for cutting meat, there was basically no need to think about it. There was only a meal of meat during the Chinese New Year.

If you really say slander, go hunting on the mountain yourself.

Life in the He family is very tight.

The first year of the year before yesterday was a major disaster. The He family was almost unable to survive, and He Ming was about to sell his land to live.

The original owner of this body, He Xuan, was a filial person. He asked He Ming not to sell the land, and went to join the army and sent back all the money he sent to join the army.

...

A thousand thoughts flashed through He Xuan's heart.

At this time, a thirteen or four-year-old girl with a baby face and wearing shabby clothes came out of the house and went to the kitchen. She happened to see He Xuan and was stunned. Then, a surprise flashed in her eyes: "Second brother, you are back, come in quickly. Second brother, you have worked hard for the days of being a soldier."

"Wait, it's not that it's not the New Year or something. Can't you come back when you are a soldier? Why are you back? You're not a deserter, right?"

"Second brother, you must not be a deserter."

He Xuan couldn't help but feel helpless, but a hint of closeness flashed through his heart. This was the closeness of the original owner's soul. He put his hand on He Qi's hair: "What do you think of, your little head? How could I be a deserter, your second brother? It's impossible to think about it."

"By the way, where are the rest of the family?"

"Dad and brother, we're going to chop wood."

"Mom went to the town to make new clothes for Chen Dahu's house."

"That's it." He Xuan nodded, walked casually a chair with four legs and three legs with traces of repair, sat down, and basking in the sun lazily.

Not long after he sat down, He Qi carried a bowl of sweet potato rice with a piece of bacon on it: "Second brother, eat it quickly. This bacon is a good thing. A few months ago, when my father went up the mountain, he made a bunch of rabbits, used the salt of the old man and marinated the meat and made it into bacon. He only ate one piece occasionally. You are a soldier in the border area, so you rarely eat it."

While He Qi was talking, she accidentally swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

This bacon is precious, and He Qi has never eaten it himself.

He Xuan also saw He Qi's eyes and suddenly understood why the original owner remembered this home.

No matter what other people are like, at least, this little girl is indeed quite good to the original owner.

For the sake of the original owner, I have to take care of this little girl.

He Xuan ate all the sweet potato rice and bacon without hesitation. Not to mention, he was hungry all the way. It tasted quite good after eating it.

"Brother, are you working on the army at the border? Is it hard to get a hard time?" The others did not come back, and He Qi chatted with He Xuan while doing needlework.

"How to say it, it's okay. After all, your brother, I, have not been a soldier on the border for too long, so I became an official. Brother, I am now the chief bannerman and the seventh rank official, as big as the county magistrate."

"Brother, you are so bragging, and you are as old as the county magistrate." He Qi smiled gurgled, obviously not believing it. Her eyes were round: "Second brother, you are old now, when will you get married?"
