The casual life of the flat space

Grandpa Wu sighed and continued, "Even if there is no danger, can you guarantee that there will be a lot of harvest? If there is nothing, will the whole family starve?

Winters are long in the north, and if you don’t work hard to farm in the other three seasons, how can you have so much time to go to the mountains to look for gold and silver that you don’t know where it is? Moreover, if the year is good, it’s okay, but if there is a famine or war, even if you have a lot of gold and silver, you can’t buy food to save your life! ”

Bai Tieying sat on the stool for a long time without saying anything after listening to Grandpa Wu's story. Thinking back to the history of Xianhe Village, she couldn't help but sigh. In her memory, Xianhe Village was a place where farmers made a living from the land and mountains. She didn't expect that there were so many dangers and so many people lost their lives for the rise and fall of this village.

My great-uncle chose to leave when everyone needed help. I really couldn't understand why he did that. Just looking at my uncle's character... forget it, the grudges of the older generation were not her business to comment on.

What Grandpa Wu and the village chief said makes sense. Respecting nature is the foundation of human survival, but Beishan cannot be blamed for all those things!

There is nothing wrong with the wolfsnakes' revenge from their perspective, but the flooding and landslides are probably caused by soil erosion resulting from hundreds of years of human activities.

The root cause of these things is still human problems. Whether it is poisoning with evil intentions that brings disaster to the entire village, or invasion by neighboring countries, floods and mountain collapses, which thing is not caused by human beings?

Other villages may have had problems and accidents of one kind or another, but the tragedy in Xianhe Village was so tragic that it has been passed down from generation to generation and has gone beyond scaring children with the "wolf grandma".

The village chief just said so confidently that no one would agree. I guess this idea has already taken root in the hearts of the older generation. A person's worldview cannot be suddenly changed by just a few words, and she doesn't have the eloquence and brains.

"I was wondering why I saw Uncle Wu every time I went up the mountain. I thought I was good at hiding, but it turns out that Xianhe Village has such a rule. Oh! It's so hard for me!" Bai Tieying cried in his heart.

Clearing his throat, Bai Tieying said carefully:

"Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Wu, after hearing about our village's past, Tieying is emotionally unstable. Please don't laugh at me."

Seeing the two old men waving their hands, Bai Tieying pulled up Bai Tiexiong and continued:

"Grandpa Wang, Tiexiong and I admire your family for what they are like. Please allow us to express our gratitude with a generous gift!" After saying that, Bai Tieying and Bai Tiexiong bowed to the village chief. The village chief quickly stood up to help them up, saying "No need, it's our duty!" But one could hear from his tone that he was very pleased.

"I was indeed not thoughtful enough about selling mountain products, but Tieying would like to ask Grandpa Wang for a favor." Seeing that the village chief was waiting for her to speak, Bai Tieying continued,

"Grandpa Wang, in our case, whether to open up or buy land will have to wait until Tiexiong grows up. But as Grandpa Wu said, winter is coming soon, and there are still many things to store at home. And we can't always rely on the help of fellow villagers or uncles, that will make us lazy.

To be honest, I have given a guarantee to Shopkeeper Zhang. Shopkeeper Zhang's Chunfutang has also been in the county for a hundred years. He is a good person with a good reputation, so my uncle let me go to his shop.

I think that every year, the villagers also pick up a lot of mountain products and dry some vegetables. Do you think I can buy the leftovers? Now the small vegetables in everyone's garden have been harvested, and next month, fruits and vegetables will also be available for consumption.

It is true that I was rash in this matter. It does delay the work in the fields for the villagers to take time out to do these things. How can every family be in the same situation as mine?

I don't want to break my promise, but I really don't have the ability to collect a certain amount of mountain products. In addition, I also want to meet a reliable person in the city, so that when we grow up, we can find a job in the city and save some money to buy land for Tiexiong in the village. "

After Bai Tieying finished speaking, she looked at the village chief with pleading eyes. She knew that it was up to him to decide whether this matter would succeed or not, and Grandpa Wu would definitely agree with her idea. It was not what he said that made her think she was here to pay back the money.

Just because a ten-year-old girl said she wanted to go to the county town alone, he agreed to her request. It was not because he was indifferent, but because he realized that she must have a secret and could protect herself.

I don't know whether he believes the story of the gyrfalcon's gratitude that I just told him. Anyway, he now has that expression that seems to be none of his business, but he's just going to listen to her nonsense.

In addition, the words and sentences he used when speaking just now were not like those of an old farmer. He comforted the village chief, guided the topic, and talked about the village history in such detail. In fact, he was telling her how she should handle this matter, and the key person was the village chief.

"This is a sweeping monk!" Bai Tieying said to himself.

As for the village chief's family, they have indeed made great contributions to the village, but they have also been heartbroken by the repeated departure of their loved ones. Perhaps, they are too respectful of nature and believe in fate, so they can only follow his words.

Thinking about it, I was indeed reckless in doing this. I must be careful in the future! Times are different, concepts are different, and people's hearts are different! Don't get yourself involved again, otherwise it will be a shame for the time traveler with a golden finger.

"Ahem," the village chief cleared his throat. "Tieying, you are a little too brave, kid. But you are still a child. If you don't understand some truths, it is our responsibility as adults for not teaching you."

But you are right, we can spoil our children, but we cannot watch them become lazy. Okay, I agree to this. After lunch, I will gather everyone to pay back the money and tell them about this matter.

This is just the first time. Don't just do things with good intentions in the future. Don't just promise others anything. You have to think about whether you have the ability to do it. You are still young. Learn slowly. When you grow up, you will have to rely on Tiexiong to revive your family."

"Thank you, Grandpa Wang! I will remember your teachings and will not be reckless in the future. I am also counting on Tiexiong, and I want him to grow up quickly. Our Bai family still depends on him. If I don't understand something in the future, I will come to ask you for advice. Please don't think I'm annoying!"

"Kid, what nonsense are you talking about? If your Grandpa Wang finds you annoying, would he have talked to you heartily about these things? Okay, brother, I'll take them back first. I still have work to do in the fields! If I had known that this girl was as righteous as her father, I would not have brought her here!" Grandpa Wu continued.

"Brother, what's left to say about our lifelong relationship? Can you come earlier this afternoon? We haven't had a drink together for a long time."

"Okay, then I'll come over to your place for a drink. It's been a while since I've had a good chat with you. Let me tell you, these naughty kids in our village need to be properly managed!"
