Don't panic in a famine, I live in the mountains with my golden finger

Many people came to the place where wild peppers were found with a wish. At this time, Song Guozi was frantically drinking water at the waterfall, and Xu Zhi was walking around anxiously.

"Brother, why is your face so red? Are you thirsty?"

"Cough cough cough." Song Guozi choked on the water and Xu Zhi stepped forward and patted him on the back.

When Xu Yuan saw the peppers on the ground that were trampled to pieces and the seeds were exposed, he realized why Song Guozi was like that. The corners of his mouth curled up and he laughed out loud.

When Song Guozi heard her elder sister's laughter, she felt a little embarrassed and thought she had done something stupid.

"It's okay, Guozi. At least you got to taste this wild and most powerful pepper. You are the first one to taste it. It is the best seasoning for cooking."

"I'll use these peppers to make you a fish dish tonight. It will be absolutely delicious."

"Wow, I'm going to pick a lot of them."

"Oh, big sister, this one is already so spicy, it will be terrible if you put too much."

"Don't put too much. This is the first time so we just try it out. Take the rest back to air dry, leave some here, and take a few back to plant in the vegetable garden."

Xuyuan went into the vegetable garden and picked a handful of wild onions. They had heads anyway, so they would grow again in a few days.

Fry the fish until both sides are golden brown, take three or four chilies, chop them up and throw them into the pan, then throw in the wild onions, add a little water, cover it with a wooden board, and Xu Zhi turns up the heat on the side.

The yard was soon filled with the pungent smell of spicy fish. Xu Zhixuan and Song Guozi's mouths turned red from the spiciness, and hot sweat broke out on their foreheads.

"Wow, it's delicious, sister. It's delicious. Although it's spicy, I don't know why the spicier it is, the more I want to eat it." Xu Zhi took another sip of water and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Xu Yuan picked up a few pieces of fish without bones and put them into the bowls of the three people. "Eat slowly, don't choke."

……

The next day, the morning light was dim and the morning glow began to appear.

The four Xuyuan siblings washed up, had breakfast, and then started to do their own things.

The two little kids carried their specially made small backpacks, picked up small sickles, and followed Xu Yuan and the others to the wasteland to cut grass.

Faced with such a large piece of wasteland, the two sisters looked at each other and sighed helplessly.

I can’t do it, I can’t do it, but if I don’t do it, I won’t have anything to eat.

"Let's do this. We'll first remove the field ridges, divide the land into plots, and then weed." Xu Yuan really had no idea where to start, and could only shovel out the general outline of the land.

The two sisters divided the work, one on each side, and slowly the outline was taken out.

The grass in the field was particularly long, and the two kids were mowing the grass enthusiastically with all their might.

"Sister, sister, we have cut the grass for the big flowers. We will go back first and wait for us."

Guozi carried the full small basket on his back, held Xiaoduo's hand, and shouted to Xuyuan.

"Okay, you two, watch out for the road, don't fall, come on quickly."

The two younger brothers each carried a small backpack, held hands, and skipped back home.

"Take a break, Twig."

Since you can't finish the work anyway, why not work for a while and then take a break? It would be a waste of time if you tire yourself out.

"Ding, a wasteland has been opened, the reward is..."

"Ding, a wasteland has been opened..."

"Ding, it's turned on..."

"drop,……"

When the two sisters were taking a break, Xiaojiu's reminder sound flashed wildly in Xuyuan's mind.

Wow, how come the people in our village are so fast today? They can earn points just by lying down. I never thought that this would happen in my dreams.

"It's good to be young. Look at that kid Gu. He didn't rest this morning. He just drove the oxen to plow back and forth. He has already plowed three wastelands in this morning. I think the oxen are almost too tired to move."

"That's right, Gu is really like that." The villager raised his right thumb and praised, "Look at my kid, he plowed this piece of land with great effort. If I hadn't injured my leg, I would have wanted to do it myself."

"You'd better not be too anxious. If you're injured, just take good care of yourself. Why are you running to the fields to watch the fun? You might get hurt again if you don't pay attention to the road."

"Bah, shut up. I can go to work tomorrow, don't talk nonsense to me."

"Hey, I gave you good advice, but you didn't listen."

"Okay, stop chatting and get back to work." A woman who was hoeing the ridge of a field pulled her husband, who was chatting away, and said, "It's almost noon. Let's go back and take a rest after we finish this. We'll come back this afternoon."

"Okay." The villager changed the subject and began to work faster.

"Qinghan, take a break first and don't get tired. Here is a water bag. Drink some water first." Xu Qing was weeding the field under the shade of a tree. Seeing his eldest son's face full of sweat and red from the sun, he walked up to him and handed him the water bag.

"Mom, I want one too," shouted Gu Qingming as he was pulling weeds under the shade of a tree.

At this time, there were only three people in the family, mother and two children, on the field. Village Chief Gu went to the county town to submit the information.

"Mom, I'll be done soon. You can go back and make lunch." Gu Qinghan took the water bag, wiped the sweat off his face, tilted his head slightly, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.

The water gradually entered his throat, and the burning throat was quickly extinguished. He poured some water on his hands and fed it to the cow.

The cow was also so tired that it lay on the ground, its mouth slightly open, and it drank a few sips of water from Gu Qinghan's hand.

"Then remember to go back after you finish this. Mom will go back first."

Xu Yuan and Xu Zhi had already cleared the ridges on both sides of the field and started to move to the other side, but their movements of swinging the hoe were getting slower and slower, and every time they hoeed, beads of sweat appeared on their faces.

The weather today is very hot and humid. There was only a slight breeze in the early morning. Now there is no wind at all and the ground is hot.

No, right now I really need a little bit of coolness and joy.

Xu Zhi's face was already red, and her hair was hanging down beside her face as if it had been washed by sweat. The sun was already overhead, and working under the sun was unbearable for herself, let alone a girl in her teens.

"Xiaozhi, let's go back first. Let's rest for a while after dinner and come back."

"Sister, it will be ready soon. Just a little more work."

Xu Yuan picked up the hoe and said without question, "Let's go. You'll have to lie down here if you go down. There's no rush now. Let's do more when the sun isn't so strong."

Xu Zhi thought about it and felt that what his elder sister said was right, so he packed up his hoe and went home.

"What's wrong with you two? Why did you run into the river again?" Xu Yuan had just returned to the gate of the yard and saw that the two little kids' bodies and trouser legs were wet, so he hurriedly picked up the bamboo sticks placed on the gate.

"No, sister, no," Xuanyu saw the bamboo sticks and waved her hands hastily, "We didn't go to the river. I remember what my father said. We children can't go to the river without adults around."
