Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

No matter which one, it is to remind the superiors to pay attention to their own cultivation and moral qualities in order to maintain the stability and development of the country. Otherwise, if the superiors do nothing, the heavens will send down disasters, so that the people will suffer and live in misery, and use this as a reminder to the king.

……

But no matter what, Lin Xiaoyue just wanted to say: It’s none of her business.

What does the intrigues and twists and turns of those in power have to do with her?

She is just a commoner who only wants to live well with her family in the troubled times. Everything else has nothing to do with her.

Having said that, Lin Xiaoyue still admired these refugees. You said you were dying of hunger, so why would you care whether the superiors issued an edict of guilt or not? What does it have to do with them?

To put it bluntly, these refugees can barely take care of themselves, so why would they care about what those high-ranking officials who enjoy luxurious living and work for nothing have done? Isn't this just worrying about others' own affairs?

Oh no, after days of high temperatures, not to mention radishes, even wild vegetables are gone. With such a harsh living environment, do you still have the time to create public opinion for those ambitious people who play power games?

Please, just save yourself some energy and worry about whether you will have your next meal. That’s more important, okay?

The Lin family had Lin Xiaoyue smuggling some food from space from time to time to supplement their situation, so their situation was much better than that of the refugees. However, considering that idle people were prone to gossip, Lin Xiaoyue repeatedly ordered her family not to follow the rumors flying around in the refugee group and make random comments.

After all, unconfirmed rumors are poisonous and cannot be trusted, let alone spread. How others behave is none of their business, they just follow the rules and put their lives first.

The Lin family was born in the countryside, had never seen the world, and did not understand much about the truth. Fundamentally, their vision was limited by birth. But fortunately, these people were obedient, and they listened to their own family. This alone was enough to comfort Lin Xiaoyue.

As for Doctor Qiao and Chun Xing, one is a medical geek who is obsessed with her granddaughter, and the other is a pure naive person. They don't need Lin Xiaoyue to remind them at all. They are not the kind of people who listen to one side and believe it, or spread rumors. They live very soberly.

In order to suppress the restless hearts of the Lin family, Lin Xiaoyue specially found various jobs for everyone to do. Keeping people busy naturally means that they have no time to think about other things.

As for what can be done?

Ward: Oh my god, there aren't too many things you can do, okay?

There is nothing you can't think of, only what you can't do.

What are the specific things?

Take Lin Xiaoyue herself as an example. Walking on Route 11 for a long time not only wears out her feet, but also her shoes.

Take the straw sandals on her feet, for example, they are handmade, with delicate soles and excellent heat dissipation and sweat absorption. She usually wears them at home or in places with good road conditions, and they can be worn for a month or so. But now, she treks on all kinds of bumpy and rugged mountain roads every day, and they are not only uncomfortable, but also worn out after a few days of wearing.

The cloth shoes she bought from the clothing store in town were only suitable for walking less in the city. But if she was in a hurry to wear them, she would be sorry. Didn't she see that her and Lin Zhaodi's toes had already opened the window to say hello?

This quality...she would really be grateful.

There is space for shock-absorbing shoes or hiking shoes, but it is not easy to take them out. Those flashy colors should not be too trendy, okay?

So, at the strong request of Lin Xiaoyue and Lin Zhaodi, Miao sat on the cart and made cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles for them while they were on the journey.

The Miao Society was also happy to use it to kill time when they were bored on the night journey.

As for the scraps of cloth for shoe soles, Lin Xiaoyue pointed to the bamboo baskets where the family put their clothes. They were filled with old clothes that the Lin family had worn for several years and were in tatters, but they were never willing to throw away. Now it was just right to recycle the waste, which could not only reduce the burden on the mule cart, but also be converted into more durable cloth shoes. It was really a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

Chun Xing was jealous. After the two families set out together, she became more and more familiar with the Lin family. Now seeing Miao making shoes for the family, she immediately took advantage of the situation and pestered Miao to make a pair for her.

Miao was soft-hearted and did not object, but agreed to make it for Lin Zhaodi, Lin Xiaoyue and Chen Xiaocao first before making it for her. After all, everyone else was sitting on a cart or a shopping cart, but Lin Zhaodi and Lin Xiaoyue walked all night long. If this number of steps were put in modern times, it would definitely beat those "white-bone demons" who deliberately save steps to compete with each other.

Chun Xing received Miao's promise, so she naturally accepted it. After all, she and her grandfather had their own ox carts and rarely had the opportunity to walk, so her need for shoes was not as urgent as that of the Lin sisters.

After dealing with the Miao family, Old Man Lin couldn't sit idle. His leg was injured, but his hands were still fine.

Old Man Lin himself did not want to be a useless person who just sat and waited for death. Although Doctor Qiao said that he could go out and stretch his muscles in more than a month, there was still more than a month left and he would have to sit on the cart for such a long time.

In Lin Xiaoyue's words, that was called enjoyment. Didn't you see that all the way to the state capital, others sat on his lap, and the sense of happiness was immediately compared.

So Lin Xiaoyue had the right to ask Old Man Lin to weave some sunshade straw hats for her. It didn't matter what material they were made of, such as seaweed, mat straw, wheat straw or bamboo strips, as long as they could be used.

Everyone is confused: Why do you need a straw hat when you are walking at night? To block the moon?

Lin Xiaoyue: ...Thanks for reminding me. I forgot to mention the straw mat. I don't need to tell you what the straw mat is for. I wear a straw hat to make up for my sleep during the day. It's so bright and hot, which seriously affects my sleep quality. Whether I'm lucky enough to find a shade or not, I put the straw hat on my head. Wouldn't it immediately block the light and reduce the high heat from direct sunlight? Stupid.

Everyone: ...Sorry, we are superficial.

Chen Xiaocao had to drive the mule cart, catch up on sleep during the day, and help Miao. She was already very busy, so Lin Xiaoyue did not assign her any extra homework.

As for the fourth and fifth graders, although they are still young and can't help much in most cases, they are great if they follow the schedule, take good care of themselves, and don't worry their families.

Hearing this, Xiao Si and Xiao Wu looked dejected and drooped their shoulders dejectedly. They felt that they were useless and could not help with anything other than eating and sleeping.

Patting the two little carrot heads, he changed the subject and began to praise the two little guys. Not only did they massage Father Lin's legs during the day, but they also helped to collect dry firewood nearby and guard against any outsiders with ill intentions who invaded their rest area. Without the two little guys' vigilance, everyone would not feel at ease even if they were resting.

What this means is that the two little rascals are really good and are the best among all of them.

As soon as he finished speaking, Little Four and Little Five instantly recovered with their chests puffed up high, like two victorious chicks.

Well, he is so easy to appease.
