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

"You, where did you go to provoke the bumblebees?"

Xu Zhi widened his eyes, looked at the red and swollen half of his face, and shouted excitedly.

Many scratched their heads embarrassedly, nodded, and then shook their heads.

"What about you, Guozi?"

Since so many of them have become like this, the fruit can't be much better. Who are they trying to fool by wrapping them like this? She and her elder sister are not blind.

"We're fine. We've already had some medicine applied from Grandpa Wei." Xuanyu replied weakly, glancing at her eldest sister who had been silent. Seeing that she had no expression on her face, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy.

Since it has come to this, she will have to meet people sooner or later, so Guozi took off the scarf covering her face, looking embarrassed.

"Puchi...Hahaha!" Xu Yuan couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw Guozi's swollen upper lip.

When Guozi heard the laughter, he looked at Xuyuan with some resentment, and the shovel was put aside.

"Sister." Guozi's unclear voice sounded, sounding a little aggrieved.

"Alright, alright. I know you didn't go out of your way to get stung by a bumblebee. Why would I scold you? Hurry up and stir-fry the food in the pot. Xiaoduo, look at the fire. It's almost out."

"You really won't scold us?" Many people said in disbelief.

"Well, I usually don't talk nonsense, I just do it!" Xu Yuan raised the corner of his mouth, his face serious, looking at many people, "If you want, it's not impossible."

"No, no, no, I don't want to." Hearing this, he shook his head repeatedly, turned around quickly, and added a few more firewood to the stove. As expected, the fire went out.

Manyu was in a panic again and accidentally scratched his red and swollen cheeks, making a small "hiss" sound.

"Xiaoduo, get out of the way, I'll do it." Xu Zhi frowned, pulled Xiaoduo up, and started to light the fire again.

After all this hassle, dinner was finally ready.

A plate of stir-fried cabbage, the tender and green cabbage, without any seasoning, just the simplest stir-fry of oil and salt, it is still green and juicy after being out of the pan. A plate of pickled fish stewed with a special hot sauce, plus a plate of steamed egg custard, with a circle of soy sauce drizzled on it just out of the pan, it is full of freshness.

All of these dishes were cooked by Guozi himself. Xu Yuan found the appearance of the dishes very appetizing. Guozi is a boy with a talent for cooking.

The four of them sat at the table and started eating.

"By the way, sister, we heard something good today." Xuanyi said mysteriously while eating his food in small bites.

"Oh! Tell me about it. I want to hear it."

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows. Xiaoduo was actually keeping it in suspense.

"Good news?" Xu Zhi also looked at Xuanyue and asked curiously.

After finishing the last bite of the food, Xu Xuan repeated what Uncle Wang had said to Uncle Wei, and Guozi next to him also nodded.

Xu Yuan pursed his lips. It seemed that he had not paid attention to Gu Qinghan's affairs for a while, and he had not received any warning of danger. The progress seemed to be quite smooth.

Xu Yuan had no intention of contacting Gu Qinghan. He took some anti-swollen ointment and applied it to the red and swollen areas of the fruit stings. Then he took a look at Lai Fu outside the yard. The food he had just put down was still there. If this guy usually put food down, the bowls and plates would be empty after a while. There was no sign of them being touched at all.

As he got closer, he heard some humming sounds coming from the doghouse. Xu Yuan squatted down and looked inside.

Unfortunately, it was a fluffy tail.

Xu Yuan grabbed the tail and dragged Lai Fu out.

Lai Fu groaned weakly and looked up at Xu Yuan. Xu Yuan saw Lai Fu's current state and said "tsk tsk" twice. He took out a fresh herb from his arms, crushed it and stuffed it directly into Lai Fu's mouth.

"Eat it, you'll feel much better after that."

After saying that, he patted Lai Fu's head, went to the well, washed his hands, and returned to the house.

The moonlight was like water, dyeing the ground with a layer of silver-white carpet. From time to time, strange bird calls were heard from the forest.

……

For three consecutive days, Xu Yuan and Xu Zhi were busy plowing the fields. Guozi and Xu Xiu still came to help in the fields in the afternoon after finishing school in the morning.

"Sister, what are we planting this time?" Guozi asked, holding a white, flower-shaped object.

"This is cotton. The cotton in quilts and cotton clothes is made of it."

"Wow, this is so magical. Then everyone will have cotton and won't have to suffer from the cold."

Many curious people came over to take a look at what was in Guozi's hand and said excitedly.

Xuyuan nodded and asked the two to place the corns according to the spacing. A long trench was gently dug in the middle of the field, and after the seeds were placed in the middle, the trench was filled.

The people had clear division of labor and worked slowly and calmly.

The villagers on the other side were also busy in the fields.

It was the busy farming season, and there was a lack of help from some young and able-bodied men. In addition, much more farmland had been reclaimed than in previous years, so everyone was very busy. Beads of sweat on their foreheads flowed down their cheeks under the baking sun.

The weather is hot and dry, and even if there is wind, it is still hot.

Zhu Xiaoque wiped the sweat off his face and stood up. He suddenly felt his vision getting dark and his head was dizzy. Suddenly, there was a crackling sound next to his ears.

She wanted to call out to Uncle Liu who was plowing the field, and to Li Juanhua who was digging the ground not far away. Unfortunately, before she could call out, her mind went blank, and she didn't know what happened after that.

"Ah! Xiao Que." Li Juanhua heard a sound of something hitting the ground and quickly looked towards the source of the sound. Her face turned pale and she hurriedly shouted to Uncle Liu and ran over quickly.

Upon hearing this, Uncle Liu also hurried over.

"It's okay, it's okay. She must have suffered from heatstroke." Uncle Liu took off Zhu Xiaoque's straw hat, carried her under the shade of a tree, fanned her, asked Li Juanhua to pat Zhu Xiaoque's forehead with clean water, and fed her some water to relieve her pain.

"Second Grandpa, is Xiaoque really okay?" Li Juanhua asked worriedly.

"Let her relax for a while first, and then send her to see Grandpa Wei." Grandpa Liu coughed a few times and said.

Uncle Wang was in another field. Seeing that there was no movement here, he turned around and looked over here, frowned, and hurried over here.

"what happened?"

"I guess he might have heatstroke. His face is sunburned red." Uncle Liu touched Zhu Xiaoque's forehead and found that he didn't have a fever.

"Well, there's no rush to acquire these lands. Let's take the children to have a look first. Let's go," Grandpa Wang suggested.
