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

The next morning, the sky was slightly brighter.

Xu Yuan got up early, took care of the girl's affairs, and quickly entered the yard.

"Sister, if we really just throw it away like this, don't you think it's a bit of a waste?"

Xu Zhi felt a little sad as she looked at the menstrual belt that was gradually becoming less and less.

"Xiaozhi, we don't need this little money right now. It's not very hygienic to reuse the cloth. I'll buy you some more cloth and throw it away after use. I won't feel bad about it."

I have to replace several pieces a day, which is quite a lot of consumption.

I have to find time to go to the county town to buy some cloth.

As for the menstrual belts thrown into the pit, they were burned directly after they dried up after a few days.

In ancient times, these scraps of cloth were very worthless. They were sewn into long strips with belts added on the sides, and then a material that could absorb moisture was put inside, mostly wood ash. When they were exchanged, the contents inside were removed, and the cloth was washed, dried, and put back into use again.

Some women even use only one for their entire life. How ungentlemanly.

Xu Yuan felt it necessary to improve the situation of ancient women during their menstruation.

Cotton is very expensive and the quantity is small, so most of it is purchased from neighboring countries.

No one in this country grows cotton.

No wonder it's so expensive.

I was wondering when I made a wish, couldn’t I buy some seeds and become self-sufficient?

What is even more puzzling is that the war that caused everyone to flee far away from their homeland was caused by a conflict with the country that bought their cotton.

How did Xu Yuan know that? It was because he went to the clothing shop and heard the clothes seller say it.

Therefore, cotton is generally used only by wealthy families, but if it is not used properly, no one will use it over time. In addition, with the emergence of straw paper, this thing can also absorb water, so it is not a waste if it is thrown away after using it once.

Having said that, Xu Yuan feels that he is being quite wasteful. Alas.

Then work hard to make money and get the cotton planting plan on schedule next year.

"Sister, Tianle is awake." Guozi pushed open the door and walked out.

"Okay, call him over for breakfast, and we'll take him back later."

Xu Zhi boiled the medicinal herbs left by Uncle Wang after dinner last night. He thought that the child would be fine, but the child still had a fever in the middle of the night. Fortunately, he was careful and took a look when he got up at night, and found that it was true.

Xu Yuan had to exchange a thermometer to check the temperature. Fortunately, it was not a high fever. After feeding the patient a few pills, the temperature went down. After watching for a while, Xu Yuan went back to the house when he saw that the patient was fine.

We also have to call old man Uncle Wang to go with us. After all, he was the one who saved the child, and he needs to feel at ease.

"Good morning, Sister Xuyuan." Guozi took Tianle out of the door, and Xiaoduo was still wiping his eyes in a daze behind them.

"Morning. After you've eaten, I'll take you back to the village."

"Well, thank you, sister Xuyuan."

"Xiaoduo, if you haven't gotten enough sleep, you don't have to go with me."

As soon as these words were spoken, many confused eyes immediately cleared up.

"No, I want to go with you. I want to visit my friends."

The little boy with short legs started walking, passed the two brothers in front of him, and went into the bathroom to wash up.

Xu Zhi had already scooped out the porridge and placed it on the table, with a plate of fried peanuts on it.

It was the first time that Tianle had eaten something so novel and his eyes lit up.

"Sister Make a Wish, what is this crunchy thing?"

"Peanuts are those shelled things you see in the yard." Guozi picked up one, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and answered Tianle.

“It’s peanuts.”

"Really delicious."

"It's delicious. Then take some seeds back and let your parents plant them."

There are plenty of seeds. If one more person plants them, one more person can be fed. Why not do it? After all, you are the one who produces the seeds.

Moreover, after making a wish, he discovered that as long as the seeds he donated were wasteland, he would get points.

"Ah? Are you really going to give it to me? Thank you, sister Xuyuan." Although Tianle doesn't know how to grow peanuts, his father and mother definitely know that these peanuts are delicious.

After breakfast, they spread out the picked peanuts in the courtyard and the rolled up millet to dry in the sun.

I didn’t hang the dried fish up, after all, no one was at home, so I could only hang it under the corridor to dry in the shade.

At this time, many people ran into the vegetable garden, picked some peppers and wrapped them in cloth.

"Sister, is this enough?" Manyu ran to Xuyuan, spread out the cloth bag and asked.

"Well, it's almost there."

Xuyuan packed the peanuts and gave them to Tianle. "Ah Le, peel the peanuts like this, and the fruit is inside. Remember, the seeds are planted in the ground."

"Okay, I understand. I will tell my parents."

"Great." Looking at the child in front of him who was not much older than many others, but was still brave and ran away from the bad guys with great difficulty, Xu Yuan really admired him.

"After you go back, learn your lesson. Don't run around anymore. You won't be so lucky every time." But Xu Yuan still couldn't help nagging and reminding.

Tianle nodded, put the bag of peanuts in his arms, and kept it like a treasure.

After everything was packed up, we closed the gate and drove to Uncle Wang's house.

Tianle then saw the environment of the village clearly and exclaimed in amazement.

It is bigger and more beautiful than my own village, especially the water flowing down from the mountain over there, which is very beautiful.

There are also some red fruits planted in the fields and small ditches along the sides of the fields, which are quite novel.

The ox cart drove on and soon arrived at Uncle Wang's house. The gate was only half open at this moment, and Guozi knocked on the door.

"Who?"

Uncle Wang's voice came from inside.

Soon he arrived at the door.

"This is?"

"Grandpa Wang, Sister Xuyuan wants to send me back to the village. I wanted to come and say goodbye to you. Grandpa Wang, do you want to come to my house?" Tianle took the initiative to speak. He was very grateful to the old grandfather who saved him.

"Hey, are we going to Hsinchu Village? Come on, I haven't been to other villages yet, I'll go take a look."

After thinking for a while, he called to the next room, "Lao Liu, you have never been to Zhuhou Village, do you want to go and take a look?"

Hearing the question, Uncle Liu stopped what he was doing and saw the peanut seedlings all over the yard. "Forget it, you go ahead. I have to work."

"alright."

Uncle Wang straightened his clothes, thought for a while, went in to get some things, put on a cloth bag, and got on the car.

"Let's go."

"Okay, everyone hold on tight, let's go." Xu Yuan still acted as the driver and set off for Zhuhou Village.

After coming out of the cave, Tianle was surprised by this strange door. He didn't expect that the gate was so powerful. The grass completely covered the entrance. It was really amazing.

There was nothing else to say except amazement and surprise.

After coming out of the cave, the children began chattering and talking about recent interesting things.

It is worthy of being called the morning glory of our motherland!

When they met like-minded friends, Guozi and Xuanyu couldn't stop talking, so they didn't feel lonely along the way, and Uncle Wang would agree with them from time to time.

We chatted and chatted all the way until we got out of the first winding road and continued moving forward.
