Traveling through 1942 with space

"What's wrong, uncle? There's so much food! Did the clan return it to you when you just came back? How much did they return?" Second Aunt stopped and asked with a happy look on her face.

"My fifth uncle said he would return it, but I didn't want it." Hou Yangmin shook his head and replied.

"what!"

"Brother, why don't you want it? There is so much food!" the aunt said anxiously.

"Our family has been in the spotlight a lot in recent days. We've eaten a lot better and redeemed a few girls. We should let some of the benefits go!

By the way, has anyone in the village come to ask how the girls were redeemed?" Hou Yangmin explained a few words and changed the subject.

"Ask, of course I should ask. It's only now that everyone has gone to watch the fun, otherwise our house would have been surrounded by people." The aunt said indignantly.

"We have to come up with a reason, otherwise we won't be able to tell anyone about redeeming the girls, and it will easily cause trouble." After Hou Yangmin finished speaking, he scratched his head and began to think.

Seeing the sad faces of the adults, Hou Xiaoge also felt the difficulties faced by ordinary people. The current situation of his family is probably what people in later generations often say, "I hate you but I laugh at you."

But living in this circle means being constrained. Unless you jump out of it, you will easily be isolated.

"Uncle, didn't you say that my eldest sister was sent to the city to be a child bride? Just say that it was my eldest brother-in-law who helped to arrange this matter." Hou Xiaoge suddenly had an idea and offered up an idea.

"Ah! Is this possible?

Heiwa, I went to look for your elder sister yesterday at noon, but I heard that they had moved away. I can't just say something nonsense, can I?" said the uncle, looking confused.

"Isn't this better? How can they know if we just make it up? They can still go to the city to check.

Anyway, many people in the village know that my elder sister was sent to the city by you as a child bride, so you can say that my elder sister has a son this year, and the mother is honored by the son, so the husband's family specially helped our family to redeem my sister and the others to show their respect." Hou Xiaoge said with a smile.

"Brother, what Heiwa said seems to be possible! Chunhua is fourteen years old this year, so it's normal for her to have a child. It's even more reasonable that a mother can be honored by having a child.

The villagers don't know the situation of the man's family, so it's not up to us to say whether it's good or bad. As long as the adults don't say anything, we're welcome. Heiwa and the girls just need to keep their mouths shut. "When the uncle heard the reason Hou Xiaoge made up, his eyes lit up.

The idea was proposed by Hou Xiaoge. Since his eldest cousin was already an adult, he naturally followed the same steps as the adults. After his uncle called a few girls over and gave them some strict instructions, the crisis from outside was perfectly resolved by their family.

"Her second aunt, this is the sorghum rice that Heiwa got. I took a look and there are more than 30 kilograms. Please keep it and hide it in several places." At this time, Yangmin pointed to the backpack at his feet and said in a low voice.

"Second Aunt, this sorghum is not peeled. It weighs more than 30 kilograms, so it can be considered peeled." Hou Xiaoge also said.

"It's even better if the skin is not peeled, and there are a few more pounds of food! With this food, our family can survive for another half a month.

"You don't know, I am so heartbroken that so much food has been donated today. You know, those tree barks were collected by me and her aunt after grinding them for two days!" When the second aunt heard about the food, she laughed so hard that her eyes disappeared.

Women are born to be housekeepers. When Second Aunt saw the food in the backpack, she jumped on it and treasured it more than her own son.

Hou Xiaoge also understood Second Aunt's behavior. After all, there were fourteen people in the family, and now the meals for seventeen people were taken care of by Second Aunt and Younger Sister-in-law. Seeing the food dwindling every day, they were under tremendous pressure.

However, there is grain production in Hou Xiaoge's space now. Although it is impossible to take out fine grains directly, it is still relatively risky to get some bran and wheat bran every once in a while.

Therefore, apart from the issue of family safety, the Hou family at least won’t have to worry too much about food. Although the food may not be good, at least the biggest problem has been solved.

.........

On the other hand, just as the Hou family was holding a family meeting, more and more refugees were participating in the agricultural exchange outside Luoning County.

Many people with weapons in their hands were also afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so they hid behind the scenes and shot at the soldiers who were driving and beating the people. Chaos broke out for a while.

But as my uncle Hou Yangmin said, the government can only send out military and police to exert pressure, but they would never dare to use rifles, machine guns or cannons.

After all, the government is still under the highest management of the Republic of China. If there is news of a massacre of civilians, the official hats of the county officials will be lost.

It was getting dark, and Hou Xiaoge did not take the opportunity to go out and play. Instead, he lay quietly under the sunshade made of bed sheets, working on the farm in the space outside his mental power.

Although he spent a lot of money today and lost hundreds of dollars and a big gold bracelet, Hou Xiaoge was still very satisfied with the overall harvest.

In addition to the biggest gain, finding my family, there are now abundant supplies in the space. To put it bluntly, I can easily go to Qin Province by just lying down.

First, there were the large livestock, including three strong mules, two small donkeys, a pack horse, and a ox.

These seven large animals directly met all of Hou Xiaoge's needs for large animals. If Hou Xiaoge had not been reluctant to slaughter these animals, with several thousand kilograms of meat, Hou Xiaoge would have been able to eat meat freely.

In addition to large livestock, the warehouse in Yichun Building was also full of small poultry, including eight hens, five ducks, and three geese.

There are also two big roosters that Hou Xiaoge has been thinking about. From now on, they can hatch chicks with eggs, thus realizing the freedom of chicken meat and eggs.

I won't mention the fish. There were more than a dozen large fish weighing more than three pounds kept in two water tanks, and Hou Xiaoge took them all. With spiritual spring water, there would be an endless supply of fish meat in the future.

In terms of supplies, there were dozens of kilograms of bacon, three hundred kilograms of flour, and one hundred kilograms of potatoes and sweet potatoes.

The seasonal fruits, plums, pears, melons, peaches, etc., totaled 40 to 50 kilograms. It was so dry, and I didn't know where these landlords got all these good things.

There were also dozens of kilograms of oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and even a small can of sugar and honey.

Finally, there are some tools, a hand grinder, spare pots and pans, and even three brand new water vats.

Such abundant supplies made Hou Xiaoge feel satisfied just by looking at them.

However, although he had gained a lot, Xiaoge felt overwhelmed when he saw the nine big animals in the space.

"Go back, you bastards, you're still eating my vegetables! I'll beat you to death."

In the planting space, Hou Xiaoge was using his mental power to whip several large animals that were eating vegetables in the vegetable field.

"Brother, I'm going out to take a dump." Seeing that he couldn't handle the animals, Hou Xiaoge made an excuse to go to the toilet and escape into the space.

After running a few hundred meters, Hou Xiaoge hurriedly entered the space behind a house.

"Damn it, you guys are almost eating up all my vegetables, you are a bunch of assholes." Hou Xiaoge entered the space and saw a bare field in front of him. He directly used the power of space and started whipping the field with a whip.

Plans could not keep up with changes, so Hou Xiaoge decided not to build the livestock pen. Instead, he took out some wood from the warehouse and built a horizontal bar pen, and tied all the livestock to the wood.

Finally, he took out several stone troughs that he had collected from the landlord's house, installed them, and filled them with plenty of grass and water, and a simple livestock pen was ready.

Anyway, the temperature in the space is suitable, and the rain is under my control. Besides, these big animals are not afraid of rain, and there are no mosquitoes in the space, so it is better to raise them in the open air.
