A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

It's still early.

Chen Changsheng disassembled the cut elm bark into small strips, spread them evenly on bamboo strips and dried them in the sun.

She looked at the weather on her bracelet. It had been sunny these two days. Taking advantage of the bright sun, she estimated that everything would be completely dry in two days.

The large bag of mugwort brought back from the old house had already been dried in the sun. Chen Changsheng found a basket and turned it upside down. Then he grabbed a small handful of mugwort and leaned it against the basket and rubbed it slowly until it came out. Thin moxa velvet.

After kneading out a large pile, she said to Chen Dafu, "Dafu, go into the house and take out the stone mortar."

"Hey, that's good."

Chen Dafu took out the stone mortar he used to pound herbs and asked, "Mom, what are you doing?"

"Put the moxa in there and pound it into fine powder. The finer the better." She took out a wooden basin and continued, "When the powder is pounded, pour it into the basin. Mom, take it." These things work.”

The mother and son worked together to pound a large bag of mugwort into fine powder. Chen Changsheng put the wooden basin back into the house and put it away. The elm bark was dried in the sun before proceeding to the next step.

There was still something missing, so she called Chen Sanshou who was feeding the chickens and told him, "Sanshou, you go to the mountains tomorrow to help my mother pick up some pine cones."

Sanshou wrote it down and went on to feed the newly bought ducklings today.

Now there are 40 chickens and 20 ducks at home, and the original shack is a bit crowded.

Chen Sanshou decided to double the size of the shack, otherwise he would not be able to contain the chickens and ducks when they grew up.

Chen Changsheng didn't have to worry about the chickens and ducks. Her sons could do it themselves. She only needed to provide further guidance and ask the children to sprinkle some plant ash in the shack for disinfection to prevent the chickens and ducks from breeding bacteria in the hot weather.

The Chen family's dinner today is relatively simple, just a pot of wild grass and brown rice porridge with side dishes, which can relieve the heat and serve as a meal.

After the meal, everyone cleared away the dishes together, locked the courtyard door and headed towards the camp.

Many people have come to the field.

Chen Li was sitting on a stool. There was a wooden table in front of him. He didn't know what was placed on the wooden table, and it was covered with a piece of red cloth.

There were two strong men standing on his left and right sides, and another one stood at the wooden table. Chen Changsheng glanced at them and saw that they were the five people who went to Zhaojia Village to get money in the afternoon.

The onlookers were chattering.

"Have you heard that Zhaojiacun came to our village to steal things in the afternoon and even beat the tiger's head?"

"It seems that the daughter of the village chief of Zhaojia Village has come with a bunch of people to steal our land and vegetables. She is so shameless."

"I heard that my man said that Uncle Li Zheng called us here to set up some kind of patrol team."

"What patrol?"

"I don't understand either. Let's just listen to Uncle Li Zheng. Hey, stop talking, let's get started..."

Seeing that the villagers had almost arrived, Chen Lizheng coughed and cleared his throat, and then said loudly, "Everyone must have heard about what happened this afternoon.

People from Zhaojiacun came to our land to steal things openly and almost injured Hutou Nawa's mother. They are such shameless bitches. Fortunately, we discovered it early and drove those bastards back.

I discussed it with several elders in the village and decided to set up a patrol team in our village to guard the east and west entrances and exits. If we find suspicious people or suspicious things, we will report them as soon as possible. "

"Uncle Li Zheng, whatever you say, I will follow suit." Two brothers, Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu, said.

"But if we are on duty, there will be one less labor force in the family. Who will do the work in the fields?"

"What Uncle Li Zheng said is quite good, but..."

Chen Lizheng signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Listen to what I have to say. We have also taken into account your concerns. The fields are our foundation, and we must not delay them, but we must also be on duty.

One person only needs to stay on duty for two hours, and when the time is up, another person will be on duty. When the replaced person is fine, he can go about his work at home. There are two entrances and exits in our village. If one person guards one entrance for two hours, that would be six people a day, and two entrances would be twelve people. Do you think this will delay farm work? "

After hearing what Li Zheng said, it didn't seem that difficult.

"Of course, people who join the patrol team can't work in vain. They are protecting the safety of our entire village. There is still some money in the village's public account, which was used to buy brown rice. Each patrol team member will be rewarded with two taels per month. Kilograms of brown rice.”

Two kilograms of brown rice is not too much. If it is less, if you mix in some wild vegetables and add a little more water, you can eat it for five or six days.

With the reward of brown rice, the enthusiasm of the villagers below has increased, and many people already want to sign up.

"Uncle Li Zheng, count me in."

"I am also participating. Should I register now? Should I report it to my uncle?"

Chen Lizheng was very pleased to see everyone enthusiastically signing up. Although some of them might have gone for the two kilograms of brown rice, it at least showed that the idea of ​​setting up a patrol team was supported by everyone.

"If you want to participate, come here and tell me your name." Li Zheng took out a piece of paper from his arms and took out a dark charcoal pen, which he picked out from the stove before going out.

"Our patrol team gives priority to strong adults. Those with strong strength, quick legs and feet, and flexible brains are better."

Tang Xiaolong was at the end. He immediately squeezed to the wooden table and said, "Uncle Li Zheng, I am the first one to sign up. Hurry."

"Brother, there's me too." Tang Xiaohu, who was behind him, said immediately.

"Yes, yes, there is also my brother Tang Xiaohu."

A small queue formed behind the two brothers.

Chen Lizheng was smiling from ear to ear, "Come one by one, Tang Xiaolong, Tang Xiaohu, Chen Shuisheng, Chen Youjin, Ma Daqiang, Wang Mazi..."

When Wang Mazi's name was written, Li Zheng looked up and couldn't help but said, "Wang Mazi is very positive this time. Not bad, there is progress."

Wang Mazi had a smile on his face, "Hey, don't you follow me, Brother Daqiang, every day. Brother Daqiang tells me to work hard and not to think about sneaking around. People have to learn well, Uncle Li Zheng, you think so. Bar."

Li Zheng nodded with great satisfaction.

"Master Li Zheng, I'll sign up too."

Chen Dafu lined up in front of the wooden table, and beside him was his mother Chen Changsheng.

"Why did you also sign up?" Li Zheng was puzzled.

It stands to reason that Chen Changsheng's family is not short of those two kilograms of brown rice, so why did they send their children to the patrol team.

Chen Changsheng smiled faintly and said, "It was Dafu who took the initiative to join the patrol team. I also think that he should give it a try because he is not too young."

"Okay." Chen Lizheng took notes.

After a while, there was a page full of names, and he counted almost a hundred people.

Chen Lizheng was very excited. Just as he was about to open his mouth to say the next words, he was interrupted by a discordant voice.

"Don't be deceived by Mr. Chen. I heard that there is no money in the public account for a long time. They say they will give out two kilograms of brown rice every month. I will be thankful if I can give you two kilograms of brown rice."

It's Chen Erlai.

He continued to speak dejectedly, "If everyone joins the patrol team now, the brown rice will not be distributed by then, and it will be difficult for everyone to quit if they want to."

There were a few lazy guys who went there just for the two kilograms of brown rice. After hearing what Chen Erlai said, they began to feel discouraged.
