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

"No, is that really it?"

When Xu Yuan made a wish, he thought he was going to hear a story about love, hate and vengeance among three people, but he didn't expect it to be such a sad story.

Unexpectedly, the child was lost so early. The child's mother almost couldn't get over it. After being rescued, she fell seriously ill and forgot about the incident. In order not to upset the mother, the child's father had to find reasons to coax his wife and spend time and money to search for the child silently. Moreover, the child's sister became hoarse because she saw her mother's depression with her own eyes. The lost child was lucky enough that no one knew what happened to him. He was not abducted somewhere else, and he became demented.

What a miserable family.

Therefore, human traffickers will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death.

"Brother Daquan is so pitiful. This is how Sister Biyun got her voice. They are so pitiful." Many people sighed after hearing this.

"This trip is well worth it, old man. If we can really find it, our family will be reunited."

"Well, I'll have to discuss it with Lao Chen when the time comes. After all, we've kept it a secret for so many years, so we still have to find a reason."

"That's true, but that child, alas." Uncle Wang sighed helplessly, not knowing what to say. They are all poor people.

The ox cart gradually increased its speed and entered the village entrance.

There are two main roads at the entrance of the village, one is the main road where most villagers live, and the other is a small path leading to the mountains and forests.

The paddy fields are divided into one area, and the houses are another large area, and the divisions are very clear.

"Sister, what are they planting in the fields? Why do they look so similar to rice seedlings? Can we still plant rice at this time?"

This was Xu Zhi’s first time in Zhuhou Village. As soon as he entered the village, he began to look around and take in the surrounding scenery.

"The winter wheat we planted can be harvested next year," explained Grandpa Wang.

Guozi was very puzzled: "Then why doesn't anyone grow it in our village?"

"It's too late. We have already planted late rice and have just finished harvesting it. It takes time to plow the fields. Planting wheat is different from planting rice. It requires dry soil. The water in the paddy field must be dried out, which takes a lot of effort. Let's not bother with it this year. Plant rice earlier next year so that we can catch up with winter wheat."

"So that's how it is," Manyu nodded, thinking for a moment and asked, "Then... those fields are empty."

"Hahaha, how can it be empty? Can't we still grow white radishes?"

"White radish?"

Xu Yuan was puzzled: "There are also white radishes. Maybe I didn't see any seeds for sale in the food store?"

"How is that possible? Maybe the shopkeeper didn't release them when you went there. I also bought radishes when I went to buy seeds. I'll leave some for you when you want."

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Wang. I don't ask for much. Please take care of it."

How can you make demands for seeds that are given away for free?

Xu Yuan quickly thanked Uncle Wang.

Soon, the ox cart went up the small slope and stopped in front of a bamboo house.

Hearing the noise, several children ran out and enthusiastically invited the people outside to come into the house.

Uncle Wang also noticed Zhou Daquan's existence. There was nothing much to say about him. He was exactly like Lao Chen.

"Come on, come in and sit down." Liu Zhushan brought a few stools and placed them in the yard, and also moved the table out.

After all, there is shade outside the yard and it is cool.

Wang Shanben was still working in the fields, but when he saw guests coming to his house, he went home and greeted everyone in the yard.

"You guys sit down, and have a quick meal here before leaving."

Liu Zhushan greeted them for a while, then went to the bamboo shed in the backyard and caught a chicken to serve.

"Uncle Liu, this won't work. Keep the chicken at home to lay eggs. Don't kill it. I brought some dried fish. I'll cook it with this later. Don't be polite with me."

"How can this be possible? How can we let guests bring things when they come to our house?"

"Never mind that. You'd better not kill the chicken. Keep it for laying eggs. Otherwise, I won't dare to come again next time."

Xu Yuan and Liu Zhushan were arguing here, and the noise was quite loud. Uncle Wang, who was sitting on a bench in the yard, heard it, and stood up and walked over.

It's very funny to see two people fighting for a chicken, one not letting me go and the other not letting me go.

"Zhushan, please take the chicken back. I have something to ask you." Uncle Wang also hurried over to persuade him. He snatched the chicken from Liu Zhushan's hand, handed it to Xu Yuan, and then pulled Liu Zhushan to the firewood shed in the backyard.

Xu Yuan threw the chicken in his hand into the chicken coop, found a sink to wash his hands, and then asked Xu Zhi to move the prepared things to the kitchen.

Many of them took out the chili peppers wrapped in cloth from their arms like treasures, "Uncle Ashan, these are chili peppers, used for seasoning, they will be a little spicy, just put a few in the pan and stir-fry them."

"chili?"

It was the first time that Wang Shan had seen such fruit. It was extremely rare.

"Okay, okay, Uncle Ashan will use this chili to fry something delicious for everyone to try."

Only Wang Shan, Wang Huan and Li Juanhua were left in the kitchen to help, while the others gathered outside the yard to help pick peanuts.

"Sister Xuyuan, what else can we do with the peanuts you asked us to grow besides cooking them?"

Zhu Xiaoque asked questions while picking peanuts.

"You can peel the shells, right? There are peanuts inside. Put them in the pan without adding oil, stir-fry for a while, add coarse salt and take them out. This is one way to cook them. Heat the pan with oil, pour the peanuts in and stir-fry until they change color, then take them out. This is another way to cook them. This is called fried peanuts. If you add sugar to the pan and stir-fry until it melts, then pour in the fried peanuts, it's another way to eat them."

"Wow, there are so many ways. Thank you for your answers, Miss Xuyuan."

Unfortunately, sugar is expensive, so I can only try the first two methods.

"In fact, the ones I mentioned are not the only ones you can make. You can also make others as long as you are willing to try."

Zhu Xiaoque nodded.

With the help of others, a pile of peanut seedlings was accumulated in a short while. Liu Yuelai looked at the full pile of firewood and felt so happy. After these peanut seedlings were dried, they would be great for fire starters.

After a while, Liu Zhushan and Uncle Wang came over together. Both of them looked solemn, and Liu Zhushan's eyes were slightly red.

He didn't sit down on the bench in the yard, but walked straight into the kitchen.

"Grandpa Wang, what happened to Father Liu?" It was the first time that Zhu Xiaoque saw Liu Zhushan like this. After hesitating for a moment, he saw Liu Zhushan enter the kitchen and spoke carefully.

"It's okay. I talked about something. It's a long story. You will know it when the time comes."

Uncle Wang didn't know how to explain it, but after asking clearly, he felt very complicated and had mixed feelings.

Ugh.
