Liu Xin came out of the river dejectedly, feeling sad in his heart. As a glorious time traveler, it had trouble filling its stomach. At this moment, he even wanted to extract the [Guinea Fowl] rewarded by the system and roast it.

"Third brother, I have dug enough wild vegetables, and I will be able to cook when I get back later!" Liu Wanliu couldn't help but comfort Liu Xin when he saw his look.

"I know, let's go back! I'll carry the vegetable basket." Liu Xin said and carried the vegetable basket. Liu Wanliu knocked the loach unconscious on the stone, skillfully removed the internal organs with a branch, washed it and followed Liu Xin

behind.

Liu Xin walked a few steps and saw her sister looking worried.

"Third brother, I heard my sister-in-law talking to my elder brother this morning, asking Mr. Huang Xiang to come to our house. My sister-in-law must have no good intentions in inviting Mr. Huang Xiang to our house!" Liu Wanliu said to Liu Xin.

"Why do you think so much? You are a child and your family has everything covered by third brother! In a few days, third brother will go to the county to buy some cloth for you and ask your mother to make you some clothes!" Liu Xin said as he walked in front.

"Third brother is bragging! Where did you get the money to make clothes for me? My sister-in-law won't give you money!" Liu Wanliu looked at Liu Xin and said.

Although he said this, Liu Wanliu was very happy in his heart. Liu Xin had always thought about going out as a ranger to travel around the world, but he didn't care about himself.

"Haha! You will know in two days... Come on, look at your cold hands!" Liu Xin saw that his eldest sister was a girl, and her clothes were torn. He touched her cold hands and said,

Although Liu Wanliu felt a little strange, he did not object to Liu Xin's words.

When I got home, my mother washed the loach and stewed it in a small pot, took out a bowl of thick noodles and made a batter, added the wild vegetables Liu Wanliu dug, and made a large pot.

The noodles were thick, unpeeled noodles, but Liu Xin tasted strangely delicious. Maybe he was really hungry!

After eating three big bowls in a row and one vegetable dumpling steamed bun, Liu Xin felt that his body had gained strength. Maybe it was because he had just traveled through time yesterday and was not used to it, but today he did not feel how unpalatable the vegetable dumpling steamed bun was.

When her mother saw that the pot of batter was half full, Liu Xin ate half of it, and looked at him with a smile on her face: "Sanzi, your injury will heal quickly if you eat more, Wan Liu, Xiaoya, you guys should eat too!"

Looking at her mother's smile, Liu Xin couldn't help but feel nervous. Her mother was just over 40 this year, and her hair was already more than half gray. Her sister-in-law had never cooked in the family before she got married, and her mother had to take care of everything in the house.

"Mom, I'm full! I just saw that there is no water in the water tank. I'm going to get water!" Liu Xin put down the bowl and chopsticks and said.

Liu Xin used to go to Zhangjiazhuang when he was full. Today was the first time he asked for work. Liu Wanliu and Liu Xiaoya were surprised when they heard this.

"Well! Go and do your work. Later we will go to the mountains to cultivate the wasteland. After a few days of fattening, we can almost plant the first seeds this year! Only after we have cultivated the 30 acres of wasteland, our family will have a good life!" Look!

Liu Xin's mother felt particularly at ease when her son seemed to have changed. Although Liu Xin was the youngest of the three sons, he was the smartest among the brothers. As long as he felt at ease, the family would have no worries about a good life.

To fetch water, he had to go to a well outside Zhangjiazhuang, which was still two miles away from his home. Liu Xin took a pole, carried two empty buckets and went out.

Outside the courtyard is the family's 20 acres of farmland, which can produce hundreds of kilo of grain every year and is the foundation of the family's life.

One hundred shi of grain is used to pay 20 shi in taxes to the county. If the remaining 80 shi is not used for his nephew's schooling, the family can still have enough food and clothing. However, Liu Guisheng needs 300 yuan to go to school every month. In a year, he needs more than 2,000 yuan. The family

Half of the food was used for Liu Guisheng’s schooling!

After passing my own farmland, I rented 40 acres of middle land from the Zhang family. Since it was not my own land, my family couldn't work hard to cultivate the land. One acre of land could produce a harvest of more than 3 shi per year. I gave half of the land rent to the Zhang family, and then

After paying the grain tax, one acre of land is left with only about half a stone. With these 20 stone more grain every year, the family can survive.

Farming is a physical job, especially in ancient times. Since February, people have to soften the soil and fertilize the land. It lasts for more than a month. Landlords with cattle can still cultivate the land more easily. Without cattle, there are no three families.

With more than one labor force, this kind of wheat cannot be cultivated in the fields.

There are cattle on the farm for the tenants to borrow, but they are borrowing two bushels of grain a day. In addition, they need to feed the cattle on the farm with concentrate, so poor people are reluctant to borrow cattle.

Liu Xin saw people plowing the soil and carrying the dung into the field bit by bit with baskets. When they walked to the edge of the field, they carefully took off their straw sandals and stepped barefoot in the field in such a cold weather, just to prevent their shoes from being punctured.

, as for whether your feet will be injured or not, it is not that important.

The preparation phase for farming is complete only after the dung is spread and plowed into the ground, and the entire field is leveled again.

Everyone who met familiar people on the road greeted Liu Xin. Liu Xin used to follow Zhang Fei. Although Zhang Fei was the son of the village owner, he never bullied the people, so everyone had a good attitude towards Liu Xin. Some knew that Liu Xin was injured.

He also asked how his injury was!

The well in Zhangjiazhuang was dug for the tenants in the village. Liu Xin fetched two buckets of water and felt that although his body was only 16 years old, it was much better than his body in his previous life. Two buckets of water could weigh 80 kilograms. He was worried

Although I was sweating all over when I got home, I didn't stop on the way.

Liu Xin picked it four times in a row, and it took him an hour and a half. By this time, his mother had already tidied up the house, and the eldest sister and the younger sister had also tidied up the yard. He put down the pole and bucket, and his mother was ready.

After putting the farm tools on the ground, the family of four went out!

The eldest brother was not here, and the second brother was working in the village. The four members of the family had no choice but to repair the wasteland in Hebei Province. When Liu Xin went out, he saw some victims who were worse dressed than they were wandering around outside Zhangjiazhuang. If it was the village in previous years,

You may still be able to give some alms, but in the past few years, the world has suffered from successive disasters, and the village has stopped giving out porridge!

In the past few years, there was a continuous drought in the world, and there was no harvest in the Guanzhong area. The emperor ordered that grain be transported from the south to supplement the needs of Sizhou. Southern officials took the opportunity to increase taxes in various places. As a result, food production in the south also decreased, and many people had no choice but to start fleeing.

Last year, there was a great plague in Yangzhou, and Jiujiang County and Danyang County suffered from a once-in-a-century flood. I heard that people from many counties in the south fled, and now there is no way to save the victims.

You save one, and a lot of them will come soon. After you save this lot, there are countless victims behind, and no matter how much food there is, there will not be enough to eat.

Therefore, the county town refused to allow the victims to enter the city, and Zhangjiazhuang did not dare to accept the refugees. Only ordinary people saw that they were pitiful, and maybe they would save half a vegetable dumpling and wotou for them.

"Don't look! It's too late to go to the fields today. Don't pay attention to the victims. They will disappear soon. Your good intentions can only bring disaster to yourself!" Liu Xin's mother looked at Liu Xin and stared at the victims with an unbearable expression.

warned him.

Liu Xin also knew that he did not have the strength to save people now. It would be good if his family could not starve to death. However, looking at the refugees with barely any clothes on, they started to come out to beg for food only in February. He knew the historical trends of the Three Kingdoms and felt in his heart
