Escape from famine: Daddy stands up, Dali girl lies down

A month later, the wasteland had taken shape and the stream was diverted into the planned route.

The stream channel is paved with gravel, and the water is clear and you can see the bottom.

The foundations of the Lin family's courtyard and servants' quarters have been completed, and the bottom one-meter-high walls are made entirely of stone slabs.

The breeding farm has been put into use and is managed by Lin Wu and his wife.

Flocks of chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep live in a piece of special-shaped land, surrounded by a circle of breeding sheds.

The tenacious wild grasses had to take three steps back when they encountered these poultry.

Once the poultry become familiar with the living environment here, they are released into the wild.

Big pigs, cattle and sheep often wade across the stream to the other side to find food.

With Baozi, Heizi, Niu Yi and Niu Er watching over her, Lin Shu was not afraid of the attacks of wild beasts at all.

In the end, it is not certain who will eat whom.

After returning to the village, Baozi and Heizi were left to roam free.

Once the farm was built, the two cubs regarded it as their home.

The first batch of chickens and ducks we bought have started laying eggs.

Searching for eggs every day became the two's most passionate thing.

Seeing the two having fun, Lin Shu secretly let the drowned rat out.

When the little guy saw the excitement outside, he said he would never go back.

He was doing well with a group of poultry all day long, and his skills in getting rid of them were becoming more and more sophisticated.

The bustle of the farm also attracted the attention of villagers.

Seeing the poultry growing sleek and shiny, he stared at them with greedy and envious eyes as if they were real.

...

Mrs. Wu was pregnant with a big belly and was wearing a brand new purple embroidered cotton jacket.

She wore an exquisite silver hairpin in her hair and a white jade bracelet on her exposed wrist.

He touched each chicken coop in the farm, and the maid following him was carrying half a basket of chicken eggs and duck eggs.

"Mrs. Lin, are your chickens and ducks for sale?"

Wang Daquan's wife, Wang Liu, mustered up the courage to step forward and say.

“Sell it. We’ll sell it when the chickens and ducklings come out.

Those who want to buy can make reservations in advance. The quantity is limited and it’s on a first-come, first-served basis. ” Mrs. Wu said with a smile.

After my daughter came back, life became more and more prosperous.

Now that the twins are found, she has nothing to worry about and doesn’t have to worry about household matters.

What we need to do now is to take good care of the baby in our belly.

The white hair on the temples gradually turned gray, and the body gradually gained weight.

A good mood leads to a good body.

Wu looked around the wasteland but couldn't find her daughter.

My daughter is busy in and out every day, and I don’t know what she is busy with. She never talks to her mother about her personal matters.

Mrs. Wu was quite disappointed about this, as if her daughter had grown up overnight and was no longer close to her as a mother.

...

At this time, Lin Shu was operating the brick kiln herself.

Open the sealed kiln mouth and take out a brick and a tile.

The green bricks and tiles make a crisp sound when knocked, and the sweat dripping on the bricks and tiles makes a sizzling sound.

"It's done, we did it." Lin Shu said excitedly.

“Hahaha, everyone gets a prize.

Lin Dalin and Lin Er were each awarded ten taels of silver and were appointed as managers of brick kilns and house construction.

The others were rewarded with five taels of silver and an extra meat dish in the evening.

Start the kiln! "

The rewards and positions made Lin Da and Lin Er dizzy.

When I came to my senses, I wanted to thank the host loudly, but found that the host had left.

After getting the important materials for building the house, Lin Shu of course had to go back and report the good news.

The warm bricks and tiles were pushed into the construction site, and the crowd suddenly became excited.

Because everyone knows that this is a technology that is not passed on to others.

As long as we have this technology, several generations will never have to worry about food and drink.

Wen Sanqiang believed that he was the only one who knew best what skills those people had.

It is these ordinary people who, under the leadership of the young lady, have made their own bricks and tiles.

This is a miracle.

With the materials for building houses, the speed naturally increased, but bricks and tiles were still in short supply.

The brick kiln expanded again, and all the people who could come here were servants of the Lin family.

Only by employing such a person can Lin Shu feel at ease.

...

In the blink of an eye, it is time for spring sowing.

Lin Erzhuang paid the workers their wages in person.

He glanced at his feet with a smile and saw two large baskets of copper coins.

"Everyone goes back to work in the fields first, and our family will also work in the fields first.

That is related to the food and drink of the whole family, otherwise everyone will go hungry."

"Hahaha, Mr. Lin is right. We will come after we finish our work in the fields." Wang Daquan said loudly.

When Wang Daquan thought about the wages he was going to receive, his eyes narrowed into a slit of joy.

"Okay, pay the wages!" Lin Erzhuang pressed his hands down and said loudly.

"Wang Daquan, three hundred coins!

Wang Liushi, three hundred coins!

......"

Everyone was excited. They didn't expect that Wang Daquan's family were all fully employed.

Four adults working full time would earn one tael and two cents of silver a month.

One tael and two cents!

This is a salary that many of them dare not even think about.

By the way, there are two older children, five copper coins a day each.

This is another three hundred coins.

One ounce and five cents makes many people dizzy.

When the villagers returned home with their wages, the whole way was filled with laughter.

The helpers who stayed behind looked at Lin Erzhuang with some trepidation.

I don’t know if their wages will be deducted. This kind of thing happens all the time outside.

Being unfamiliar with the place, it is common to be deducted from wages.

"Wang Mazi, three hundred coins!"

"Zhang Erwa, three hundred coins!"

……

The helpers who stayed behind were shocked that they didn't even deduct a penny.

"Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

The helper held the copper coin and thanked happily.

"Boss, do you need any more help?" asked Helper A.

"Yes, as long as he is honest and hardworking, it would be best if he has skills." Lin Erzhuang reminded.

What we need most right now are people with various skills. My daughter wants to play a big game, and the more people the better.

"Then I'll go back and arrange things at home and bring people to the village right away, okay?" Helper A asked carefully.

“Can your family arrange for it?

Don't waste your family's land just to make money, it's the foundation of your life." Lin Erzhuang said with concern.

"Yes, my family is large, so I don't mind losing one or two people."

"Hahaha, then go quickly and come back soon." Lin Erzhuang said to the helper with a smile.

The helper, having received the good news, was eager to return home.

They strode out of the village carrying bundles on their backs, some of which contained pickled pheasants and rabbits.

Some bags contained dry food that they were reluctant to eat.

...

The house building work did not stop because of the spring ploughing. Wen Sanqiang led a group of servants to build the blue brick walls.

Lin Erzhuang took his servants who were good at farming to work in the fields.

The weeds in the field were taller than the crops, with wheat and bean seedlings scattered here and there.

"Dad Lin, you're not that good at growing crops!" Lin Shu joked.

"Hey, isn't that because we are short of manpower?

And there is not enough fertilizer, so how can we take care of it?"

Lin Erzhuang said embarrassedly.

"Tsk tsk tsk, my dad is really capable."

Lin Hongyi walked around the field with his hands behind his back, shaking his head.

"Okay, stop making fun of me." Lin Erzhuang said helplessly.

With forty acres of land and five members of the family, the old, the weak and the pregnant, it is very good to be able to manage it like this.

Looking for crops in the wasteland, Lin Shu wished she could burn them down and start over again.

Weeding and replanting have become a necessity at the moment.

Especially winter wheat, many seedlings have been eaten up.

Even the seedlings that did grow were withered, yellow and small.

It's obvious that they are malnourished, not to mention the harvest.
