Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

Ten days later, Biyue was reading in the pharmacy when she heard Xiao Nanxing calling for her father outside. Biyue walked out and saw a young man holding Xiao Xingxing. Xiao Xingxing said to Biyue, "Sister, this is my father. My father is back."

Biyue walked over and said hello, uncle.

Doctor Lin came over and introduced: "This is my son, Nanxing's father, Lin Zhiyuan." He then said to his son: "Yue girl came to me to learn medical skills, and Nanxing also has a playmate."

Bi Yue asked: "You are back. Are my father and uncle back?" Lin Zhiyuan said: "They came back together by car. Do you want to go home now?"

Biyue said she would go back at noon. She only went to school half a day, and skipping work before school was over was not my style.

At noon, Biyue walked towards home and saw a familiar man standing at the gate from afar.

Bi Yue ran over and shouted, "Dad, you're finally back." The man came over and picked up his daughter, responding happily, "My dear daughter, I'm back. Dad has brought gifts for you three siblings. I'll share them with you tonight."

When I walked into the yard, I saw that my fourth uncle had also returned today. Everyone was sitting around the table in the main room, and when everyone was present they started to serve the dishes.

There were so many dishes on the table: a roast chicken, cut into small pieces, a big bowl of braised pork, minced meat and egg soup, braised fish, fried cabbage, and smashed cucumbers. It was just like the Chinese New Year.

There was a glass of wine in front of the adults. Grandpa said, "Today, the whole family is here, no one is missing. I am very happy. I hope our family will get better and better." Grandpa started eating first, and everyone started eating.

After dinner, Grandpa asked Tingwei to take the two children to the yard to play.

Grandma said: "In the past month, my daughter has been digging herbs in the mountains and has earned nearly 60 taels of silver. She is earning money for the family at such a young age.

This time when you go to the county to work, the eldest and second sons only need to pay half of the money they earn, and you can keep the rest. Bi Yue belongs to the eldest son, so I will give ten taels of silver to the eldest son. Do you have any objection?" Everyone agreed.

Biyue said: "Grandma, we are all a family. I am very happy to be able to contribute to the family."

Grandma held Biyue in her arms with red eyes. She felt so happy to have such a sensible granddaughter. Everyone felt the same way!

After dinner, the father accompanied his daughter to her room. Seeing the medical books on her desk, he asked Biyue, "It must be hard to study medicine. I didn't expect that after more than a month in the county town, my daughter has changed the most. In a few days, I will accompany you to Dr. Lin's house to become his apprentice. Thank him for being willing to teach you."

Biyue said, "Dad must have been very tired in the county town for more than a month. He has lost weight. Now that you are back, you should have a good rest." The father and daughter chatted for a while, and then the father said goodbye and left.

Biyue thought: The family earned 60 taels of silver, which can relieve grandma's pressure, and I will feel a little relieved.

The next day, Bi Yue was having a day off, and she begged her father to take her to the fields, saying that she didn't even know where the fields were.

When Tingwei saw his sister going, he wanted to follow, so the two of them sat on the cow's back and went to the fields with their grandfather, father, and uncle.

It is now June, and there is still more than a month before the rice harvest. My second uncle carries a water bag and a hoe, and my father holds a shovel, and the whole family sets out in a mighty procession.

Grandpa was leading the cow in front, and as he walked he said to the cow, "My grandchildren are sitting on your back, so be steady!" The old cow seemed to understand what Grandpa said, and responded with "Moo! ... Moo!" from time to time.

When they stopped at a large field, the grandfather told his two grandchildren that this large field was 20 mu of top-quality paddy field, with an output of more than kilograms per mu.

The best paddy field only produces 400 kilograms? That's not much. No wonder there is not much left to exchange for money after paying taxes and feeding the family. It is even more difficult for those with less land.

Bi Yue didn’t know much about farming before, she just saw on TV news in her previous life that the yield of rice per mu reached more than 1,000 kilograms.

Now I understand that the high yields in the past were achieved through the efforts of generations of agricultural scientists.

Grandpa tied the cow to a tree with plenty of green grass nearby. He put the two children down and the three elders went to help. Tingwei also went.

Biyue said to the cow, "Hello! Brother Niu, you have carried my sister and I for a long way. You must be thirsty. I will give you some water."

So I ordered a medium-sized stainless steel basin from the system, poured some primary spiritual spring water into it, and placed it on the ground. The cow smelled the fragrance and lowered its head to drink.

After drinking, Biyue put away the bowl. Niu lowered his head and rubbed her little hand and said, "Thank you, Biyue. Dahong told me that you can understand our language. I know you are very busy. Can you come and see me when you are free?"

Bi Yue promised Brother Niu, you eat some grass here, I will take a look around here.
