The pretty educated youth became the favorite of the soldier king

Gu Xiaoqi has had her period these past few days. Although she doesn't have cramps, her menstrual flow is very heavy.

She thought she might lose too much blood!

She now replenishes herself with brown sugar water every day and adds two wolfberries to it.

We must carry on maintaining our health to the end!

Because Gu Xiaoqi was plagued by illness in her last moments in her previous life, which made her particularly cherish her life in this life.

If you have a headache or feel uncomfortable, you will take it very seriously. Just like now the weather in Northeast China has become colder, especially in the morning and evening, it is freezing cold!

She also put on thick clothes early.

I even secretly used a hot pack to avoid any risk of getting sick.

Although I have spiritual water, the output is low. What if there is no spiritual water when I need it?

It’s better to be safe than sorry, so it’s better to be careful!

In this way, half a month passed since the autumn harvest. During this half month, Qin Guizhi improved the food from time to time, making Gu Xiaoqi's mouth water.

Other people who were tired from work would occasionally eat better, but Qin Guizhi fed Gu Xiaoqi and Lu Jingan every few days.

Moreover, Qin Guizhi is particularly good at making some snacks, which she puts on the table in the main room and can be grabbed from time to time.

Gu Xiaoqi heard that there would be a market in the county tomorrow, so the village specially gave a day off to allow the villagers to attend the market.

Going to the market is a unique culture in rural areas. There will be a market on every auspicious day and villagers will go to join in the fun.

Gu Xiaoqi plans to go for a stroll tomorrow and buy some things. There is so much pork in the space, and she has no chance to go to the county town during this period, which makes her worried.

Although she can eat alone in this space.

However, Qin Guizhi always improved her and Lu Jing'an's food from time to time and treated her like her own family.

Gu Xiaoqi also wanted to return the favor and took out more food.

Moreover, the more Gu Xiaoqi got in touch with Qin Guizhi, the more he liked her personality. She was efficient and clean in her dealings with people, and she didn't cause trouble, but she wasn't afraid of it either!

She doesn't look like a country woman at all. She seems to be very upright and calm.

The Lu family came to ask for money or food several times, but Qin Guizhi easily rejected them all.

Except for the old grandfather and the old lady, all the other members of the Lu family had to go to work and earn work points. Even the children had to go to collect grass for the pigs.

At that time, the old man and the old lady drove Qin Guizhi's family out for a one-time sum of money, and they regretted it long ago.

If they knew that Lu Jingze was so ambitious, they would still be criticized by the villagers! They would never let this family leave no matter what!

But Lu Jingze just holds the view that you don’t want to see me succeed, but I am the most competitive!

This made the Lu family very angry, and they were also jealous of Qin Guizhi's life.

No family can live as carefree as Qin Guizhi!

Now is the busy time for autumn harvest, and the Lu family has visited less frequently for fear of affecting their work points. I guess they will start making trouble again after the harvest.

The autumn harvest in the village has entered the next stage. All the rice has been harvested, the grains have been peeled, bagged and stored in the village’s large granary.

After the market is over, you can plant winter wheat before it freezes and harvest it in March or April next year.

The main work every year is rice and corn, with rice placed in the first half and corn in the second half.

Once all the corn is harvested, the autumn harvest will be nearing its end.

At the end of the year, food will be distributed according to work points, and we can prepare for the winter!

Then the corn stalks are piled up on the fields. In winter, villagers can pick up some straw (the stems, leaves and branches of crops after harvest) and take them home to burn for firewood, cooking and heating.

When spring comes, burn the rest together with some hay. This is called burning the wasteland!

After burning, the insect eggs and other things in the fields will die, so there is no need to spray pesticides in the spring. The grass seeds will also turn into ashes, which contain substances such as potassium and phosphorus, so there is no need to use herbicides, and a lot of chemical fertilizers can be saved.

When a fire is lit, the ground becomes hot and the surface becomes loose, cracks appear, and the soil becomes better.

Gu Xiaoqi was pickling sauerkraut with Qin Guizhi in the yard. The children in the village had been going to the mountains to collect firewood recently. Qin Guizhi told Lu Jingan not to go deep into the mountains, and only then did she let Lu Jingan go with the other children in the village to collect firewood.

Lu Jing'an was a little withdrawn in front of outsiders. Although he was with other children, they were all talking and laughing in groups of three or four, but he was always silent. As a result, he was always collecting firewood silently and no one talked to him.

Although not much was picked up each time, and everyone had to go up the mountain after the autumn harvest, Lu Jingan still insisted on picking up a little every day, accumulating little by little to prepare for the winter.

Gu Xiaoqi knows how to pickle sauerkraut. Beijing is a northern city, and every household pickles a jar of sauerkraut in the winter. They make sauerkraut stuffed with meat, sauerkraut stewed with vermicelli, sauerkraut fish, stir-fried sauerkraut, and all of them are delicious with fried chicken.

Qin Guizhi and Gu Xiaoqi were quick and skillful. They pickled two jars of sauerkraut. They cut the roots and old stalks of the dried cabbage and placed them one by one in the jars, with a layer of cabbage and a layer of salt. The tighter the better. Finally, they placed a large stone on top of the cabbage. After three days, they filled the jar with water and the jar was ready to eat after a month.

Qin Guizhi and I packed up some dried goods picked from the mountains. Qin Guizhi planned to take them to the market tomorrow to exchange. At the market, you can buy and sell things, or you can barter.

Because there is a big market on every auspicious day, in order to avoid disputes, the Discipline Inspection Commission is responsible for managing the market.

In this era of material scarcity, rural areas became important places for people to trade and communicate. All kinds of items were traded, including farm tools, furniture, wood, doors and windows, cloth, food, and all kinds of other items.

Private transactions were not allowed in that era, except in supply and marketing cooperatives and rural markets.

Whenever there is a big market, basically all the villagers will go out to sell the dried goods they picked, the good grains they stored, and some good items, or go to the big market to buy some needed items.

Although Qin Guizhi is not short of money, in the eyes of the country people, going to the market is a kind of cultural custom of the times, and they always want to join in the fun.

After doing all this, Gu Xiaoqi felt a little tired. He went back to the house and entered the space to organize the things he would pretend to take back tomorrow.

一大块肥瘦相间的五花肉，大约有10斤，麦乳精2罐、红糖4斤、水果罐头2瓶，油酥2斤、绿豆饼2斤、蜜三刀一盒、水果糖3斤、鸡蛋30个、食油10公斤、万金油1瓶、香皂2块。

Gu Xiaoqi prepared a lot. He put these items in a large bamboo basket in advance and would take them out after a stroll at the supply and marketing cooperative tomorrow.
