I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

I got dressed, went back home, wrote back to my mother, and fell asleep again on the kang.

I was so tired that I didn't know how long I slept. When I finally opened my eyes, it was already dawn.

I got up and went to the field. The yard was filled with large and small earthenware jars, all filled with water.

The water is still very turbid, but it is better than yesterday. After it settles a bit, it is fine to boil and eat.

She was stretching her legs in the yard, and the chicks were rolling around on the ground, chirping.

Outside the house, Ji Decai was snorting loudly.

The sound of reading aloud came from the room. She looked over and saw the three of them nodding their heads as they read.

She smiled with satisfaction. After all, the child can still be pushed a little.

Just as she was about to turn around, she heard a thud and Xiaohua fell off the stool, gritting her teeth in pain.

"Miss Hua, what's wrong?" Teacher Haixia was so shocked that his face turned red.

"Ouch, my butt is bruised, it hurts..." Xiaohua covered her butt and refused to get up, "I was so engrossed in the recitation that I accidentally fell down!"

Shitou picked her up and snorted, saying, "Don't try to be lazy."

Xiaohua refused to sit down and just stood there with a sullen face and closed her eyes, refusing to even look at the book.

Teacher Ma Haixia was helpless and could only let her stand and listen.

Shitou: "Sir, I want to use the dry toilet..."

……

Ji Xiaobei: Damn it, I just praised you a few words, as if I was giving you face, but it turns out that children should not be praised.

She turned around and raised her foot to go into the house to teach Shitou and Xiaohua a lesson, but she felt her feet go weak...

She jumped up in shock, looked down and saw...Oh my god! What a sin! A little chicken died tragically under her iron hoof.

Just now it was furry and plump, and a second later, it was soft and mushy...

If Xiaohua saw this, she would be furious. So she bent down and picked up the mushy chicken.

He swung his arm around twice, then suddenly let go, and the chick flew into the air like a cannonball.

She clapped her hands in satisfaction, and the destruction of the body was completed.

In the old house of the Ji family, which was just one door away, Sanhu's wife was cooking when a bloody thing fell from the sky.

With a bang, it hit the pot, and the rice soup splashed out, scalding her and making her scream...'

Ji Xiaobei looked up at the sky, where did the scream come from...

She couldn't go into the house and disturb them studying at the moment, so she washed her hands, went back to the house and grabbed something to eat from the refrigerator.

I didn't see Lin this early in the morning. I guess he went to the field to check on the half-dead soybeans.

In such horrible weather, the soybeans may not be able to grow.

She wrote to her mother that day, asking her to collect some drought-resistant herbal varieties.

There was a flood last year, and looking at the yellow sand blowing in the past two days, this year might be a drought year.

There are only two acres of thin land at home, and she wants to grow herbs.

It is probably not possible for every village to grow crops on their own, as the crops will all be stolen by then.

Before she knew it, she arrived at the end of the field, and saw Aunt Song, Mrs. Lin and other servants gathered together, looking worried.

"Aunt Song, why didn't you tell us when you went to buy grain yesterday? I don't know if we can buy it today." Erya's sister-in-law Lian Ye said.

"Wife of the Mountain, how can you say that? My family just happened to be out of food, and who knew that food was so popular? I only bought half a bag. If you don't believe me, ask Wife of the Tree Root."

"That's right. I just came back from my mother's house last night. If we knew that food prices had gone up, how could we not tell them? We all live in the same village..."

Ji Xiaobei listened for a few words from the outside and then went back to his own field.

Connected to her land is a slope of earth, a very large piece of land, probably about ten acres, anyway it is quite large.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could plant medicinal herbs at the same time?

"I'm so worried. Most of the crops in the field have been destroyed. What should I plant?"

"It's probably too late to plant corn, so why not plant sweet potatoes..."

Ji Xiaobei walked over with a smile and said, "Aunties are here. I want to plant herbs on my land. It looks like grain won't grow there."

She looked at Lin.

Lin: What's going on? Why doesn't she know that she should grow herbs in her own fields?

However, she nodded woodenly.

"Is it okay? Bei, have you heard something that growing that thing can make money?" Aunt Song asked with her big eyes staring at her for knowledge.

Yesterday she listened to Ji Xiaobei and bought some food. From now on, she decided to do whatever Ji Xiaobei's family did.

"My husband's family grows this. In drought years, crops can't grow, but medicinal herbs are drought-resistant and grow well."

Ji Xiaobei is talking nonsense.

Anyway, no one here has ever been to Liujia Village on the other side of the county town.

"Really? No wonder your husband's family lives so well. How do you grow crops?" Aunt Song was eager to learn.

"Bei, is it really possible? No one in our village has ever planted it..." asked the tree root's wife with a frown.

Farmers don’t grow crops, but instead grow medicinal herbs. They are crazy! They can’t eat the herbs.

The other women sneered, treating it as a joke.

Lian Ye raised his voice and said, "I've never heard of anyone getting rich by growing medicinal herbs. Married women always have many ideas. Why don't we give it a try?"

The other women also agreed, saying, "You can try it."

Ji Xiaobei doesn’t care what they think. It’s up to them to plant it or not. Ugh!

Wait until Ji Xiaobei and Lin and the others are far away.

"What a joke, growing herbs. Her family doesn't run a herbal medicine store. She must be crazy to grow that stuff!"

"Yes, growing food is not enough to eat. If we don't grow food, we will starve."

"Don't listen to her nonsense. Didn't you see Mrs. Song? She ate so much of her food that she became a bootlicker..."

A burst of laughter came over...

Village women are like this, saying one thing to your face and another behind your back. Everyone thinks they are smarter than a monkey and anyone can stab someone in the back.

After Shugen’s wife returned home, she told Shugen and her father-in-law.

Ji Lizheng thought for a long time and didn't eat much.

Finally, he made the decision that if Ji Xiaobei's family planted crops, they would also plant two acres. Planting too much would be too risky and they did not dare to do so.

Shugen nodded with a dark face, agreeing with his father's opinion.

"That Ji Xiaobei is like a clairvoyant. How does she know that food prices are going to go up..." Shugen's wife thought about it all night but still couldn't figure it out.

Ji Xiaobei convinced Lin without much talking at home.

The main thing is that Lin can’t make the decision for her daughter!

After all, so far, all the soybeans that have sprouted in the ground have withered and returned, which is a real waste of seeds.

Lin is now afraid. Forget it, just listen to her eldest daughter...

Alas, this family is happy and frustrated.

Aunt Song's couple also discussed this matter in bed.

This time, Song Laohei didn't dare to raise any objections and just listened to his wife.

His wife said to plant all the land, and he coaxed her for half the night before he persuaded her to leave two acres to plant crops.

After reaching an agreement, Aunt Song, who was also a straightforward person, closed the door and agreed to all of Song Laohei's barbaric and unreasonable demands...

The night is deep, the breathing is heavy...
