Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Lin Yinan and the children were watching in the kitchen. As far as the original owner remembered, every Chinese New Year, Li Shulan would bring the servants to the kitchen to make sesame candy by hand.

As soon as the sesame candy came out of the pot, Yunmu gave each of the children watching a piece, and gave Lin Yinan a big piece. The children were so jealous that they kept crying. "So sweet! Mom, come and try it!"

Yun Junpeng took a small bite and then handed the candy to Li Huishan.

Li Huishan opened her mouth and Yun Junpeng stuffed all the remaining sesame candies into her mouth.

The sweetness of the sesame candy instantly spread in her mouth, and Li Huishan showed a happy smile.

"So sweet!"

After two years of hard work, Li Huishan's mood became even more cheerful and joyful at this moment.

Yunmu looked at everyone and also showed a gratified smile.

They finally got their reward after all the hard work!

Lin Zhiyan also imitated Yun Junpeng, standing on tiptoe, and insisted on giving the food she had taken a bite of to Lin Yinan.

Lin Yinan was afraid that she would be sad, so he took a small bite symbolically, touched her head and praised her.

After eating the candy, Lin Yinan suddenly felt a tightness in her chest. The mother and daughter were connected by heart, and she knew that Yun Shijiu must have woken up.

Amid the children's envious saliva, she blatantly took two pieces of sesame candy, said hello to Yunmu and went back to the backyard.

Yun Ye and several digital secret guards are not here. Yun Mo will lead the troops in training in the military camp during the day and will not come back until very late at night. He cannot relax even during the New Year.

As I stepped into the backyard, I saw Qianxia holding Yun Shijiu coming out of the house.

Lin Yinan took Yun Shijiu from her and handed her two pieces of sesame candy wrapped in a handkerchief.

"Eat it quickly, it's from the first pot, it's still hot."

"Thank you, young lady!" Qianxia happily took it and smiled at her playfully.

Lin Yinan scratched her nose and said, "You naughty girl, your mother-in-law will scold you again if she hears you. Where is Qianwu?"

Chinatsu pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "She was even more naughty. She ran to the old lady to ask for food."

Qianwu is lively and can't stay idle, so she always likes to go out.

"Then don't leave the sesame candy for her." Lin Yinan said with a smile.

"Sister, if you don't leave the sesame candy for me, I won't let you eat the good things I get." Qianwu's voice came from outside.

Lin Yinan saw her carrying a basket covered with a cloth, "What delicious food did the old lady and the others make?"

Qianwu held the basket in front of Lin Yinan like she was presenting a treasure and lifted the cloth covering it. "It's sticky cake."

The three of them returned to the house. Qianxia brought out the steamed egg custard and took out a piece of sesame candy and stuffed it into Qianwu's mouth.

"Mm, this sesame candy is so fragrant and sweet!" Qian Wu sucked the saliva that was secreted from her mouth and said vaguely, "It would be great if I could eat it every day!"

Chinatsu, who was sitting on a low stool, nibbling on candy, rolled her eyes when she heard that.

"What kind of delicious food are you thinking about? I eat it every day, and it would be great if I could eat it during the Chinese New Year."

"That's true. I've only eaten it three times in my life."

"We made a lot this year. I'll get some more for you later." Lin Yinan said as he fed Yun Shijiu.

Qianwu looked at Lin Yinan with sparkling eyes, "Yuanbao brown sugar looks good and tastes good!"

"Eating too much sugar will cause cavities. Did you forget about that when you had a toothache?" Chixia said unhappily.

Qianwu was immediately deflated. The last time she ate Yuanbao brown sugar, she had a toothache for several days.

After feeding Yun Shijiu, Qian Wu carried her out to visit friends and relatives. Lin Yinan and Qian Xia were making clothes in the house.

At that time, she made all the clothes herself. Although she was not a good worker, she could still do simple sewing.

Qianxia was deft and quickly sewed the small vest for Yun Shijiu according to the pattern drawn by Lin Yinan.

Yunmu, who had finished her work at some point, came in carrying a bag.

"Mom, why are you here?"

"I made you a piece of clothing to wear during the New Year," said Yunmu.

Lin Yinan's clothes were basically all black, with monotonous styles, and she only wore the same few sets over and over again. She saw this and took the time to make a few sets according to her body shape.

Yunmu put the bundle on the table and picked up the small vest that Chinatsu had sewn.

"Oh, this little dress is so pretty. It has cotton inside, so it doesn't hinder your movements when you wear it."

As Yunmu was talking, she thought of her father, who used to lead troops at the border. "Your father used to be stationed at the border. The winter there was bitterly cold, with frequent heavy snowfalls. The winter clothes issued by the court usually contained less than two ounces of cotton. Every winter, there would always be some soldiers who would fall asleep and not wake up."

Lin Yinan suddenly had an idea. The soldiers' winter clothes had already been distributed and were made completely according to the styles of the era. If each person made a modern military coat and wore a down vest inside, they would not be afraid of the cold when on duty at night.

She told Yunmu her idea, took out paper and pen, and drew the pattern in just a few strokes.

"This is great. The coat keeps you warm. If you take off the coat when working, you can put on a vest which is flexible and keeps you warm." Yunmu praised repeatedly.

Thinking about the batch of chickens, ducks and rabbits slaughtered some time ago, the furs are still there, and the county government warehouse stockpiled a batch of cotton before the New Year, there is still a lot left.

Lin Yinan immediately came up with a plan in his mind, "We have fabrics and other things. We don't have many soldiers. Let the women in the county hurry up to do some work and try to distribute them to the secret guards and soldiers before the New Year."

"This job is not difficult, anyone with smooth stitches can do it." Qianxia said.

Lin Yinan did what he said and went to the county government office with the sewn vest and some drawings to discuss with Lin Yiheng.

Although the south is not as cold as the north, the nights are still really unbearable.

I heard from Liang Wen and Yu Niang that in the south it is extremely cold in winter when it rains.

After listening to Lin Yinan's suggestion, Lin Yiheng and Pan Qingfeng immediately raised their hands to agree. They were people who had experienced hardships, and naturally they wanted to make life better for those around them if they had the ability.

The women from all over the county got together and worked hard to finally make all the clothes before New Year's Eve and distributed them to each soldier.

Xihe County and the salt field will naturally send people to deliver it.

The county government distributed generous New Year gifts to everyone. They basically did not spend any money that year. Many people gathered in the few shops in the county to purchase New Year's goods for their families.

For a time, Longtan County was crowded with people.

Amid the roar of firecrackers, the old year has passed, and the sound of firecrackers can be heard from time to time in Longtan County.

The firecrackers were purchased from Chen Gu's shop. The Chen family's manager took out enough firecrackers and sold them in Longtan County at a low price.

In order to have a good start in the New Year, villagers rushed to buy it.

After Chen Gu opened the shop, he left a few managers and waiters to look after the shop and took his people back to Yongqing City to celebrate the New Year.

Unlike the bustling Longtan County, the Yu family in Nanzhou Prefecture had a gloomy year.

Yu Qiutou, with a bulging belly that was about to be due, took advantage of the servants' off-duty vigilance during the New Year and avoided the servants who were guarding her and went to a desolate courtyard.

She scraped out the few copper coins she had and stuffed them into the doorman's pocket. Then she clasped her hands together and begged, "Young man, please let me in to see the young master. The baby is about to be born and I want to see him on behalf of the child. Please be flexible."

The servant glanced at her bulging belly. Although the few copper coins were not enough to buy a cup of tea, for the sake of the eldest grandson of the Yu family who was about to be born in her belly, the servant reluctantly opened the gate.

"Hurry up, or you'll get into trouble if someone posts about you."
