Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

"This time they robbed the officials of their food, so I don't think they will come to attack our village for a while. After everyone goes back, they will find a way to store the food in their own cellars and hide the location of the cellars."

"In this way, even if bandits come to attack, our rations are all hidden in the cellar, and they won't be able to find them, right?"

"Yes, yes..." the villagers all responded.

The village chief was afraid that the villagers were too anxious, so he comforted them, "Actually, there is no need to panic. These bandits are also villagers from various villages. After encountering various natural disasters, they had no choice but to go up the mountain and become bandits."

The village chief clapped his hands and said, "Even if they come, they have only one purpose, and that is to take our food."

"It would be best if we hide the food first to avoid direct conflict with the bandits. If they attack us first, we can just treat everything as a weapon as Yueyue said."

The morale of the villagers was greatly boosted, and everyone was full of vigor and high spirits.

The village chief said loudly: "We have survived various natural disasters together. I believe that as long as we work together, we can protect our families and our village, right?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" The villagers off the field responded loudly.

"Then let's start preparing from today. The young men in the village will be responsible for keeping watch. This is a matter of utmost importance, so don't treat it as a joke!"

After the village chief finished speaking, a group of children responded: "We must be serious!"

The village chief nodded in satisfaction and continued, "The strong men will be responsible for making weapons, and the women will collect lime and peppers. Everyone will do their job."

"We need to prepare it as soon as possible, but don't delay farming."

It was already noon.

"It's already noon, and we've said everything we wanted to say. Let's go back!"

The villagers began to scatter.

Everyone began to prepare.

Qin organized the women to collect chili powder, and the village chief and men to make bows and arrows and polish various usable weapons in preparation for protecting the whole family and the entire Baili Village.

......

An Yue returned home.

I briefly told my family what happened today and asked everyone to be vigilant.

Afterwards, the family had lunch and went back to their rooms to take a nap.

An Yue went to the vegetable garden in the yard to take a look at the corn seedlings that the family was cultivating, and found that small sprouts had already emerged from the corn seeds in the mud balls.

I looked at several mud balls and they were all like this.

For this, she was very satisfied.

She covered the soil again, walked to the bluestone slabs, washed her hands and then returned to the room.

An Yue was lying on the bed, feeling the pressure from the purse around her waist.

She put the money from selling the cocoons in the cabinet and lay back on the bed.

She lay on the bed, fanning herself, and slowly sorting out in her mind what to do next.

I thought about the bandits and then thought about the farm work at home.

Now the first batch of corn seedlings have sprouted and can be transplanted and planted in half a month.

The fertilizer for growing corn has already been piled up, and whether it will be successful or not will only depend on waiting.

The next arrangement is to clean up all the wasteland on the back slope.

Then the second batch of corn seeds are sown in the ground. After the family has finished planting the first batch of corn seedlings, the second batch of corn seedlings are almost ready to be transplanted and planted.

She yawned and turned over, and suddenly she felt sleepy.

He closed his eyes, slowly stopped fanning himself, and fell asleep quietly.

The sound of cicadas chirping continues in the fields and forests.

......

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period of time, the family was together, always on guard against bandits while busy with farm work.

Everything was going according to An Yue's plan.

early morning.

An Yue got up early and went to the vegetable garden in the yard.

I squatted down and looked at the corn seedlings. At this time, the corn seedlings had grown three leaves.

Each leaf grows lush and vigorous.

An Yue said to herself: "Well, it's time to transplant and plant."

After saying that, he stood up, brushed the dirt off his hands, and turned to walk towards the main hall.

Breakfast is ready and the family is sitting around having it.

Chunzhi asked while chewing, "Miss, are we going to plant corn seedlings today?"

"Yes! I was thinking of telling everyone about this after breakfast."

"It rained yesterday, so it will survive if we plant them in the ground today." The aunt responded.

Ale took a sip of the porridge, put down the bowl and said, "After breakfast, let's start digging corn seedlings!"

......

After breakfast, An Yue and her sister-in-law Meng Xiuer cleaned up the dishes together.

Others came to the vegetable garden in the yard with backpacks and baskets.

They squatted down one by one and picked up the mud balls that were growing corn seedlings and put them into backpacks and baskets.

Chunzhi said, "I didn't expect that the corn seedlings grown by the mud ball cultivation method that the young lady mentioned would grow so strong!"

Ale also said, "Yes! It is very convenient to transplant them to the ground and plant them."

The aunt on the side picked up the mud balls and said with a smile: "Mom, I didn't expect Yueyue's method would really work."

Grandmother Zhou whispered in her daughter-in-law's ear: "How can this girl be so capable? She is just a kid, but she can do everything!"

"Mom, keep your voice down. This is so good! We don't have to worry about it. We just need to do our work according to her wishes every day."

Zhou nodded: "That's true."

After the family moved the corn seedlings one by one into baskets and backpacks, they picked up their hoes and went out with the baskets of corn seedlings on their backs.

An Yue also followed behind with a small hoe.

It had just rained in the morning and the road was muddy.

At this time, the sun in the east slowly rose.

When we arrived at the field where corn seedlings were to be planted, everyone started to get busy.

Daniu Ale and his men waved their hoes and dug neat pits.

My grandmother, aunt and Chunzhi carefully took the corn seedlings out of the backpacks and baskets, gently placed them in the pits, and then carefully filled them with soil.

An Yue was not idle either. She picked up the remaining weeds in the field and piled them up at the edge of the field.

With everyone's hard work, more than half of the corn seedlings were planted soon.

Chunzhi and her aunt went home to carry the corn seedlings, while Anyue and her grandmother continued planting in the fields.

The sun gradually rose higher, the temperature gradually became hotter, and everyone's forehead was covered with sweat.

At this moment, the young man in charge of surveillance hurriedly passed by and shouted loudly: "Oh no, the bandits are coming towards our village!"

Once the news spread, all the villagers working in the fields panicked.

For a moment, everyone's heart was in their throat, and the originally orderly working scene became chaotic.

An Yue stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, don't panic! Let's finish planting these corn seedlings and hurry back home."

Everyone followed An Yue's arrangements and tried their best to adjust their state.
