Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

The Su family farm burned all night long. By dawn, the fire had been extinguished, with only a few spots still emitting smoke.

The refugees who had been hiding overnight near the village also set off one after another.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, everything was bare, the grass and trees were all withered, and there was nothing to eat.

The refugees went up the mountain from behind the Su family's village. A path had already been trampled out there, so they could not get into the city and could only go around it by crossing the mountains.

Su Kunliang stood on the hillside, feeling heartbroken and looking much older.

Su Gui, who was supporting him, whispered, "Master, there are several hidden cellars on the farm, perhaps they have not been discovered or damaged yet."

Su Kunliang's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Are you serious?"

"Master, you grew up in Zhuangzi since you were a child. Think about it carefully, is this true?" Su Gui reminded.

Su Kunliang came back to his senses and thought about it. There were indeed several cellars on the farm.

"Let's go! Let's go take a look."

"Don't you want to call them?"

Su Gui reminded that it was not enough for only the few people from their family to go. So Su Kunliang asked his son Su Yunzhi to talk to the head of Linjia Village and the Yun family.

After Su Yunzhi finished talking to the village chief, he ran straight to find Lin Yinan.

"How much food do you think there will be?"

Lin Yinan didn't know much about ancient cellars.

Su Yunzhi pondered for a moment and said, "Not much, probably a few thousand kilograms."

"Okay, let's go together."

The group headed towards the burned-down Su family farm.

Huang Guichang and his family followed closely behind, and Ge stared at Lin Yinan sitting on the horse with resentment.

Chengwen only ate a piece of her dried meat last night, but this little bitch was so cruel that she almost cut off his entire palm. When she finds an opportunity, she will definitely teach that little bitch a lesson.

Lin Yinan didn't know that she had gained a new enemy invisibly, and even if she knew, she wouldn't care.

After searching in the ruins for a long time, everyone, under the guidance of Su Kunliang, finally found three cellars, one of which had been opened by refugees and completely looted.

The other two cellars were more hidden and were not destroyed.

There are many people in Linjia Village, so the village chief divided the team into two teams and quickly cleaned up the debris around the cellar.

Su Kunliang opened the cellar, and a pile of food appeared in front of everyone.

"So much food!" the villagers exclaimed.

Su Yuan at the side said with a smile, "Our Su family is big, and we have many fields. Every year when the new grain comes in, we sell the old grain and store the new grain in the cellar. The harvest has been bad in the past two years, so we have to buy grain from outside to fill the gap in the cellar."

His tone was full of pride. The Su family was very wealthy and powerful, which was beyond the reach of peasants like them.

Everyone moved out the food. The Su family couldn't take all the food away, so they kept some for themselves and exchanged the rest with the villagers for dried meat and dried wild vegetables.

Lin Yinan's family was related to them by marriage, so Su Kunliang took the initiative to send 100 kilograms of grain. Zhu Jinhui was so angry that her back teeth were almost broken.

Most of Huang Guichang's wealth was robbed, but he gritted his teeth and bought hundreds of kilograms of food for his family. If he didn't buy it, they might not even have enough tree bark to eat on the rest of the journey.

After buying the food, the village chief asked everyone to cook here. They had gotten up early and had not had breakfast, and it was almost noon now, so they might as well have breakfast and lunch together before continuing on their journey.

Having gotten hundreds of kilograms of food for free, Old Mrs. Zhao was no longer stingy. She generously asked Zhang to steam a large pot of dry rice, and she personally went to the bag to get the smoked meat to stew the dried vegetables.

Liu Ji also exchanged dried vegetables for some food, and the brother and sister now had quite a bit of wealth.

But he didn't dare to eat dry rice like Lin Yinan's family, so he cooked a pot of wild vegetable porridge as usual, cut a few pieces of meat and ate them dry. The brother and sister ate them with relish.

Many families in the village also make wild vegetable porridge, or mix it with fine bran to make wild vegetable pancakes that make your throat ache when you eat them.

Lin Yinan was holding a large bowl of porridge and stirring it vigorously. Suddenly, a shadow blocked the light in front of her eyes, and she raised her eyes.

Su Yunzhi looked at her gently. Lin Yian and Lu Changqing, who were sitting next to her, were tactfully pulled away by Li Shulan.

Trying hard to swallow the food in his mouth, Lin Yinan asked, "What's the matter?"

Su Yunzhi handed over the meat pie wrapped in a handkerchief.

"An Nan, here you go."

"No, I'm full, you can keep it for yourself."

Lin Yinan doesn't want to owe an emotional debt that he can't repay.

Su Yunzhi didn't expect her to refuse so bluntly, and a flash of disappointment passed through his eyes.

Since they met, Anan treated him like a different person. She was no longer as enthusiastic as before, and her face was often cold.

He understood that Uncle Lin’s death was too much of a blow to her!

He stuffed the cake into her arms and said, "Wild vegetable porridge won't fill you up. Eat this when you're hungry."

Before she could speak, Su Yunzhi continued, "I came here to ask you something. I have sold some of the grain in the cellar of the farm, and there is still a lot left. I want to hire a few people from Linjia Village to help escort me on the way. What do you think?"

Shouldn't he discuss this with his parents?

Lin Yinan was puzzled and finished the wild vegetable porridge in the bowl in two bites.

Her stomach was still not full, and the pancakes Su Yunzhi gave her were baked with lard, which smelled so good that she swallowed her saliva desperately.

I took a bite of the pancake and it tasted just as I imagined.

Su Yunzhi was not anxious either, and just waited for her quietly.

After taking a few bites, Lin Yinan stopped, looked at him with cold eyes and said, "Is it your idea, or your family's idea?"

"That's what my father and I meant." Su Yunzhi understood what she meant.

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Lin Yinan turned around and saw Su Kunliang striding towards their campsite, greeting Old Lady Zhao, Lin Shuo and Li Shulan.

"Old lady, dear brother, sister-in-law."

"Master Su, why are you here..." Lin Suo stood up and asked respectfully.

Su Kunliang directly stated his purpose.

"Brother, do you think this is feasible?"

"Okay, that's great. Come on, I'll go with you to talk to the village chief."

Lin Shuo was not stupid and understood his intention. He and Lin Yiheng took the father and son to find the village chief.

After a while, Lin Shuo and Lin Yiheng came back with smiles on their faces.

"Brother, what did the village chief say?" Lin Yinan asked.

Lin Yiheng said, "Uncle Su wants five strong men to help carry the food. Each of them will be paid two kilograms of food per day. How can the village chief not agree to such a good offer?"

"Who did you choose?"

Lin Shuo smiled and said, "Our Yi Zhang is very strong, and he is one of them."

Lin Yinan looked at Lin Yizhang, who was one year older than her but as strong as a calf, with worry in her eyes. At her age, Lin Yizhang would still be in the first year of high school.

"Uncle, can my cousin handle carrying hundreds of kilograms of food for a whole day?"

Before Lin Shuo could say anything, Lin Yisong jumped out, clenched his fists and acted like a strongman.

"Sister, there's me too. I'm also very strong, so I can take turns with my brother."

Mrs. Zhao was very calm and composed. "Let them worry about their own affairs."

"That's right. If your uncle can take on this task, he can get it done. It will give us two more kilograms of food every day!"

Zhang was smiling happily. Although the family was not short of food, who would complain about having too much food?

The family seemed confident. Lin Yinan and Li Shulan looked at each other and said no more.

"What? Two kilograms of food per person per day?" Zhu Jinhui raised her voice unconsciously.

Su Kunliang quickly covered her mouth, "Shh! Madam, please keep your voice down."

Zhu Jinhui slapped his hand away and growled, "Have you ever asked for my opinion before doing anything? We are not short of manpower, why do we have to give out ten kilograms of food every day? Don't you know what time it is now? We have four more mouths to feed. Are we going to starve in the future?"
