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

After the last banquet, Liu Zhushan took Wang Shan and the children to move to Xinzhu Village not long after, and rebuilt a house in the deserted area behind Uncle Wang's house.

The villagers of Zhuhou Village were very reluctant to part with them. Village chief Li did not expect that the villagers could also get peanut and sweet potato seeds. Hearing that the yield was very high, they kept them like treasures, waiting to show their talents next year.

Every household in the village has built a brick bed. This was after Xu Yuan's family built their cellar. Not long after, he came to Zhuhou Village with Uncle Liu and Uncle Wang to help. At that time, there were only two families, Old Man Li and Tianle. Unexpectedly, the news spread and attracted the attention of the villagers. So everyone wanted to try it, and the price Xu Yuan charged was reasonable.

In this way, this period of time can be considered fruitful.

Moreover, the land reclaimed for building houses is also counted as wasteland, and a lot of points are also awarded.

Two months is neither long nor short. In the blink of an eye, it is already the beginning of November and the scholars in the village have already started studying in school.

Guozi and Xuanyu finally saw the bird they had been longing for. It was called Wuhei. Its body was pitch black, which suited the name very well. This bird was indeed quite talkative. It was hard to imagine that such a noisy species would be around a person who usually didn't talk much.

Village Chief Gu also started looking for a good place. The villagers helped him dig a small fish pond, connected to the river, and put the fish fry caught from the river into it. He didn't take care of it much, just feeding the fish grass every other day.

The fields in the village started a new round of sowing. The villagers were cultivating their own small plots of land, preparing to sow radishes. Each household collected some of the previously dried peppers and sweet potatoes and sent them to Fumanlou, and the rest were kept as food.

The weather is gradually getting colder now.

"Sister, this... did you make it?" Xu Zhi took the sanitary napkin that Xu Yuan had obtained from Hu Sanniang. She didn't know how to start the conversation and her face turned red. It looked much better than the sanitary belt she had made herself.

Xu Yuan saw with her own eyes the sample of menstrual napkins made by Hu Sanniang. Although not as exquisite as those made in the modern world, it was almost usable. Moreover, as a necessity for women every month, the price sold by Hu Sanniang was fair and ordinary women could afford it. When it was first launched, except for wealthy families, most ordinary people did not approve of it. After all, who can afford to burn one piece after another if it is used?

So, we can only say that everyone has different opinions and we cannot force it. We can only accept it ourselves. It is a great thing that women can now make their own decisions and show their talents in this era.

Thanks to the menstrual napkins, Hu Sanniang's business has improved a lot compared to before, and of course Xu Yuan has also made a lot of money.

"Well, no. I certainly don't have the skills. I just came up with the idea."

"Enjoy it with peace of mind. I'm going to the fields first."

Xu Yuan turned around and walked towards the field. He had been to the field early this morning. When he got to the field, he found that Xu Zhi's face looked not right. Then he knew about it. He took Xu Zhi back home and gave Xu Zhi the prepared sanitary napkin to try out.

The women in the village made a wish and gave some to every household, in order to let everyone know about the existence of such a thing. Except for a few who refused to accept it, the other women were also very curious. Some of them were embarrassed to take it for free, so they secretly gave some money to the wisher and asked where they could buy it. They didn’t have to wash it anyway. It only came a few days a month, and it was not very expensive. They could afford it by selling some vegetables.

The peanuts and sweet potatoes that were previously dried in the yard have been moved to the cellar. The dust and grass debris are blown away by the grain blower, and then the rice is husked with the rice husk. After the rice is poured in, the wrench is turned to separate it. After that, the grain blower is used again to separate the rice husk and rice. The steps are still a bit troublesome. It is really not easy to eat a bowl of rice.

The only stone mill in the village was bought by everyone after they came here and it was placed under a big tree on the west side of the village. Anyone who needs it can use it at any time.

When we got to the field, it had already been plowed over and only occupied a small half of the field.

At this time, Guozi brought many radish seeds to the ground. One of them dug holes, and the other scattered the seeds. Then they left holes for Xuyuan to fill. They cooperated very well.

"Sister, this piece of land is almost ready, but we don't have enough seeds."

When Xuyuan saw the place where Guozi was standing, there was a small hole in front that had not been dug yet.

"Xiaoduo, how many seeds do you put in one pit?"

"Sister, there are only two. I'll count them carefully and won't put more." At this time, there were only about five or six seeds visible to the naked eye in the wooden bowl in many of her hands.

"Okay, there's nothing we can do if it's not enough. We'll just not plant that small piece." These radish seeds were distributed by Uncle Wang out of kindness. Who would be so kind as to give you the seeds for free?

Xuyuan picked up the hoe, planted the seeds, and leveled the ground. He picked up the bucket beside him, filled it with water from the ditch, and started watering with a scoop with holes in the bottom.

Guozi and many others were at the back, taking the straw next to them and covering the ground with a thin layer. They divided the work and quickly finished one piece of land, and then started working on another one.

In total, they only got two small pieces, not much, and when Xu Zhi arrived at the field, it was almost full.

Seeing that no one was willing to help over there, Xu Zhi had to tie the straw in the field into a small bundle, carry it to the ridge, and transport it back to use as firewood. Some of the straw was soaked by the rain and difficult to carry, so he just ignored it. It had been piled up before, so it didn't take long to bundle it up and pile it on the ridge. After Xu Yuan finished with the radish field here, he began to put the bundles of straw on the cart.

"Sister Xuyuan, Azhi, we are here to help you." The two girls, Li Juanhua and Zhu Xiaoque, came over with smiles. They were about the same age as Xu Zhi and got along well with her. They often came to play with Xu Zhi.

Xu Yuan thought it was pretty good. Before the two girls came, Xu Zhi always stayed at home or worked in the fields. It seemed that he had no playmates and he didn't go out to play with the girls in the village. He was a bit dull.

"Why are you here? Is nothing going on at home?" The villagers are all in the fields now. Even the children who usually run around the village, chase chickens, and play in the mud are now helping in the fields. The chickens in the village should be much more relaxed during this period.

"It's almost time. Father Liu and Grandpa Liu asked us to come over to see if you need any help."

After Liu Zhushan and Wang Shan brought the children to Hsinchu Village, they immediately began to build houses and reclaim land, and finally they adapted to the village.

"Nothing to help you with, just put the straw from the ridges on the cart."

"Row."

Li Juanhua and Zhu Xiaoque quickly rolled up their sleeves and started to help.
