After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

Originally, we were going to discuss the specific arrangements after the flood in the yard of the old village chief's house.

But every household was very concerned about it. There were many people sent, and there were many things to discuss. The yard of the old village chief's house was a chicken pen, duck shed and vegetable field. It was difficult to stand, let alone sit down.

According to past experience, many people had to squeeze outside the yard and stretch their necks to get a look inside.

Eventually, all the villagers moved to Fan Jin's large yard.

The large yard, which covers an area of ​​one acre, is paved with bluestones and has been swept and washed clean.

A wind and rain corridor is built to provide shade.

When farmers are tired from farm work, they can sit anywhere under the trees in the fields. At this moment, groups of two or three casually sat down on the bluestones on the wind and rain corridor, which can not only provide shade from the sun, but also be refreshing and clean.

Everyone was extremely satisfied.

Shuiqing brewed a large pot of tea, brought dozens of bamboo cups over, and placed them aside for those who drank and poured them themselves.

She boiled another pot of brown sugar water and delivered it to the women gathered together - she had noticed in advance that there was no one she didn't like.

Although brown sugar is nothing to her for a few dollars a bag, she just doesn’t want to give even a sip to someone she doesn’t like.

The women who came were all well-spoken at home and were close to Shuiqing on weekdays. However, they were still shocked when they saw a pot full of brown sugar water.

Aunt Zhang lowered her voice and scolded: "The water is clear. Why don't you make brown sugar water if it's not the New Year or the festival? Keep this good stuff to yourself and drink it slowly."

Wang Guifen was also distressed. There were so many people and the brown sugar water was still so dark that she might have to put half a pound of brown sugar in it.

Aunt Li whispered: "Your yard is a good place for people to talk. We will come back more often. Next time, just give us free tea or cold drinks."

The tea is okay. There are wild teas in the mountains. It takes some time to pick and roast them in the spring. It costs no money.

Sugar water won’t do, you have to spend real money to buy it!

The women sitting around had not even begun to listen to what was said in front of them, but they were already feeling sorry for Shuiqing and Tang Shui.

"It's okay. I'm just looking at people. I made the brown sugar water because the people who came today are close to me. I won't make the brown sugar water if it's someone else!" Shui Qing picked up a big iron spoon and scooped eight full portions for everyone.

Brown sugar water has no obvious effect on people like her who have sufficient nutrition, but it is very effective on the women in the village who are tired and lack of food all year round, such as dizziness, dizziness, tinnitus, etc.

To put it bluntly, it is caused by lack of oil, water and nutrients.

Shui Qing's words inadvertently classified all the women present as close friends, and all the women who came were in great spirits!

It turns out that Shui Qing is not willing to give up, but he is willing to give up to them!

The sugar water in my mouth suddenly became sweeter.

The old village chief and others in front drank tea and started talking about business.

Fan Jin, who was standing tall in a long gown, spoke elegantly and gently: "I just discussed with Shui Qing. In addition to the potatoes that the Bai family has decided not to keep, I still have some leftover. If you want to exchange them, you can come and exchange them." .”

The 'remainder' was naturally purchased from the mall.

Shui Qing said that the corn cakes made with corn flour were delicious and it would not be a loss to exchange them for them.

Families in the village originally harvested potatoes from Fan Jinshuiqing's house to help the workers, and the potato seeds were enough to plant several acres of land. With the six families in the village that could be exchanged, each household could plant about twenty acres of land. Now they heard that Fan After entering here, my mind becomes more calm.

Potatoes have a large yield. Of course, you can grow as many varieties as possible. Filling your stomach is the most important thing.

Ding Heli interjected: "If you still have some free land, you can grow black beans. His family will need it after autumn. Then you can sell some to them to earn some money."

Polygonum multiflorum is harvested in autumn, and black beans are the most popular for preparing Polygonum multiflorum.

When they heard that Shuiqing's family needed black beans, the women who were sipping the sugar water quickly swallowed the sugar water in their mouths and asked, "Do you really need black beans?"

"How much?"

"I have it at home! Why don't I bring it to you later to see if it works."

It was originally the day to harvest black beans, but there had been a lot of storms in front of them, and they were already in ruins. However, they had already grown before the rainstorm, and there were still some leftovers, so they picked them up one by one.

It’s all food, who wants to waste it?

Qin Yilin took over the conversation with a busy smile: "Okay, bring them all. Shui Qing said before that you need as much as you want."

Shui Qing smiled and nodded in agreement.

The other women just thought that Aunt Ding and Shui Qing were getting close, and knew about it in advance, thinking that they would come back later and quickly bring the black beans from home.

Ding Heli glanced around the noisy crowd and said doubtfully: "I was collecting herbs a few days ago and saw a lot of kudzu vines, which are very lush."

After his reminder, many people present remembered: "By the way! I sowed a lot of kudzu seeds last autumn, and Fan Jinyun gave them to me."

"I spread it all over the mountain! No wonder there were a lot of vines when I went up the mountain to collect firewood in the spring. I was wondering what kind of weeds they were? Why were there so many vines all of a sudden?"

"Uncle Ding, do you also recognize kudzu root?"

Ding Heli smiled and said: "Kudzu root is also a medicinal material, but it is very overbearing. It grows quickly and has thick and long roots. There is no shortage of it in drug stores, so it has never been sold at a high price. However, it produces fluid and relieves diarrhea, so it is very good as a food to satisfy hunger."

When I heard that kudzu root is a medicinal herb, eating it not only satisfies hunger but is also good for the body. Everyone's eyes were burning, and they only regretted that there was less planting last year!

I only heard Ding Heli say again: "This kudzu root can also be cut, and it takes root in the first year, and its growth is most vigorous in the second and third years;

When you go back and spread the cuttings on the mountain, I'm afraid there will be endless kudzu to eat every year. "

Everyone can't wait to go to their mountains to work now!

Now there are not only potatoes, but also kudzu root, and everyone's heart is filled with blazing hope.

It seems that life is not unbearable even if there is a flood...it seems that life can be better?

Father Xu took a sip of tea, looked at the clean bluestone tiles in the yard, and sighed: "The fields in our village have suffered heavy losses, and I guess it won't be much better outside.

We have potatoes, but they don't. I'm afraid the days to come will become more chaotic every day. "

Fan Qiye pondered: "It's okay for those who have food stored up, but I'm afraid of those who don't have much.

It seems that the rice harvest will be harvested in just two months, but now it will be gone. How will the whole family live in the future? If they can't survive, will they have to rob it? "

The men on the corridor lowered their heads, not knowing what to do.

After a while, Li Wu raised his head and replied: "If anyone dares to come to our village to steal food, I will fight them to the death!"

Their family has a lot of food, but this is what the whole family has worked hard to earn, and they have saved food and drink every day through careful budgeting!

At the beginning of Li Wu, the other men seemed to finally react and agreed in unison: "Yes! Fight whoever comes to snatch it!"

"There are a lot of men in our village, we can't beat them to death!"
