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

The next morning, the sky finally cleared up, and the hole in the sky that had been pouring water down for two days finally closed.

The sun once again shines warmly on the earth, and the flowers, plants and trees seem to be washed and become greener.

After the rain, Hsinchu Village was muddy everywhere, with puddles here and there.

Where Dahua lived, there was some space around the shed, so rain water drifted in, soaking the top of the pile of firewood and getting the cow a little wet as well. Xu Yuan led Dahua out of the cowshed and tied her to a piece of wood outside, then threw a handful of grass on the ground.

They used a hoe to clean up the cowshed, and applied the ointment made by Xiaojiu to the wound on Dahua's foot, so it was now completely healed.

Xu Yuan planned to let Dahua go to the fields to plow the land tomorrow. But there was no plow or harrow at home, so he had to ask the villagers if they had any extra ones.

Of course, you can also exchange the blueprints and make it yourself, but I’m too lazy to do it right now, and I don’t know if there are any carpenters in the village.

After the village was built, Xu Yuan rarely visited the village. He just ran back and forth between the fields, the mountains in the county town, and the vegetable gardens. There were not many houses on the nearby roads that were close to Xu Yuan's home.

Why don't we go and see what's going on in the wasteland today?

Make a wish while making plans in your mind.

However, I don’t know if Gu Qinghan’s fever has subsided. When Aunt Xu went back last night, his fever was not that high, but it was still high. Xu Yuan could only use the tattered quilt to cover himself, and left the good quilt for Gu Qinghan.

Xuyuan thought about it, then consciously clicked into Xiaojiu's shop and swiped the items that could be redeemed. Unfortunately, there were very few items that could be unlocked, and they could not be used at the moment.

Alas, it’s really useless. I might as well exchange some points for some money. What I lack most right now is money.

"Brother, are you feeling better after taking the medicine? Let's go out and get some sun today."

Gu Qingming sat on the edge of the bed, touching his forehead with one hand and Gu Qinghan's forehead with the other hand.

Well, it doesn't seem so hot anymore.

"Go play with Guozi and Aduo, don't bother me here." Gu Qinghan looked at his younger brother who was nervous about him, and after a while he came in and touched his forehead.

In the morning, when he was sleeping soundly, a cold little hand touched his forehead, and then covered his forehead with cotton cloth soaked in cold water. Gu Qinghan was startled and woke up with a cold.

Looking at his brother's concerned eyes, Gu Qinghan couldn't bear to scold him, so he could only silently reach out and take off the cold cotton cloth on his forehead.

"Brother Guozi and Aduo went to cut grass to feed Dahua. I'm worried about you, so it's the same if I just wait here for them to come back." Gu Qingming had nothing to do, so he lay down in the empty space next to Gu Qinghan's feet and crossed his legs.

There was suddenly a knock on the door. Gu Qinghan answered and the door was pushed open with a creak. "Brother Gu, drink the medicine first." Xu Zhi came in with a basket and placed the things in the basket on the small table beside the bed one by one.

Gu Qinghan leaned against the bed and glanced outside the door, but didn't see anyone coming.

He picked up the bowl beside him with his slender hands, drank it all in one gulp, and wiped his mouth with the handkerchief beside him.

I saw a plate of yellow beans and white sprouts next to a bowl of white porridge, which exuded a sweet and delicious aroma.

"Is this the sprouted soybean sprouts?" Gu Qinghan remembered the soybeans covered with cotton cloth on the kitchen shelf, which had now become a dish.

"Yes, brother, this is delicious when paired with white porridge. We had bean sprouts with white porridge for breakfast this morning." Gu Qingming got up from the bed, saw the dish of bean sprouts, and showed off.

Xu Zhi nodded, left the two of them alone, turned around, closed the door and walked out.

Gu Qingming slept with Guozi and the others last night. Xu Yuan got up early in the morning to prepare breakfast. Xu Zhi woke up after a while and woke up the three little kids. Gu Qinghan was not woken up. The patient should sleep more, so he had to prepare the medicine first.

"Brother, eat quickly. If you are sick, you should eat while it is hot." Gu Qinghan was unexpectedly stuffed with a pair of chopsticks and a bowl of porridge in his left hand. "This porridge is also delicious, smooth and much better than the one at home."

Gu Qinghan's stomach was full of medicinal soup and he was a little hungry at this time, so he picked up a piece of bean sprouts with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

"Well, it's delicious." The sprouts are green and tender, and still retain the fragrance of the beans. The white porridge is also fragrant and smooth.

Gu Qinghan tasted and could tell that this was not made from coarse rice. It was really a waste of effort.

……

Xu Yuan came to the edge of the field carrying a hoe, and saw from afar two little kids with their trouser legs rolled up, wielding knives to cut the weeds.

Here, the fields were still the same as before. The ridges had been built and the surroundings were completely sealed. The rainwater from the previous two days had accumulated in the middle of the fields, turning them into paddy fields.

"Sister, now you are here. The mud here is soft. Every time you step on it, a small footprint is left. I don't have to dig hard. I can even dig with my hands." Seeing his elder sister coming, Guozi put down his sickle and demonstrated aside.

"Yeah, I can dig with my hands, too."

Manyu used his little hands to lift up his pants which were about to fall off and took two steps. Although he took steps carefully, his trouser legs were still wet by the mud and water.

"Hurry up, both of you. Finish mowing the grass and get out right away. You'll catch a cold if you stay in the water."

"Oh," the two kids replied in unison.

Xu Yuan took off his shoes and rolled up his trouser legs. The cold mud and water instantly spread all over his body. Xu Yuan trimmed the ridge of the field again and started digging the ground.

The mud was mixed with weeds and became very soft after being soaked in water. Xu Yuan swung the hoe and dug a piece of mud effortlessly, but he used too much force and his trouser legs got wet.

"Ouch, who bit my foot? Big brother, please help me, it hurts, it hurts so much." Many little feet were suddenly entangled by something, and the pain made the little kids cry.

"Let me see, don't move."

"Hey, isn't this the thing we saw in the small pond that day? How come it's in the field too?"

"Ah, brother, you are not seeing things, hurry up and grab it, my toes hurt so much."

"Wuwuwu" many people cried out in pain.

"What's the matter? What's biting you?" Xu Yuan quickly dropped his hoe and hurried over, splashing water onto his face and clothes.

"I caught it. Look, Xiaoduo, this is the surprise we wanted to catch for big sister. Don't cry." Song Guozi squatted down and grabbed the thing that was biting a lot.

Unexpectedly, "Ahhh, it hurts, let go, let me go!" Guozi's fingers were not paying attention and were immediately pinched by this guy.

"Brother, shake it hard and get rid of it. Sister, come here, come here quickly." When Xuanyu saw that the thing that was biting him was taken away, he gradually stopped crying and clamped Song Guozi again, feeling so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

Xu Yuan also came here at this time and quickly took it away.

"No way, this is a shrimp, am I seeing right?"

"Ah, I'm not blind." Guozi answered blankly while blowing on his injured finger.
