Rebirth, end of the world, time travel, escape famine, make money!

On the morning of New Year's Eve, people were walking around in the yard before dawn.

"Just make a simple breakfast and then we can go into the city early."

Liu Caixia said to Mrs. Tan who was cooking in the kitchen.

Mrs. Tan replied, "I see. The cornmeal porridge is ready, and there are also steamed buns. You can eat first, my dear. There are also chopped pickles on the table."

"Okay, if you're going into town, come and have breakfast."

Liu Caixia shouted in the yard and took Liu Xiaolu to the kitchen for breakfast.

Liu Xiaolu will also go into the city today, along with Lin Keyu and his son.

Today they split into several groups, each with their own things to do.

After breakfast, the group drove into the city in horse and mule carts.

Afterwards, Liu Hao and his two brothers also went out driving two ox carts.

Father and Mother Liu called out to the children in the yard: "Come and have breakfast after you have cleaned up."

It was already daybreak, and the quiet village became lively with chatter.

"Sister, I want to eat that meat bun."

Luo Junning, who had just poked his head out of the stool he was sitting on, said to Liu Xiaomei next to him that Liu Xiaomei was only a month older than him, so she had the title of older sister.

Liu Xiaomei raised her head and reached out her hand to grab a bun from the dustpan and handed it to Luo Junning: "Brother, this is for you, eat it quickly. After eating, we will go to the back mountain with grandpa to play. He just told Grandpa Luo that he wanted to go to the back mountain."

"But Grandpa told us to play in the yard. Let's play at home with Aunt Liu, Aunt Sun, and Grandma Wang."

"I want to go to the back hill to play. I want to go with my mother."

Liu Xiaomei looked at Liu Caiyun on the side.

"We are going to the back mountain to do something and will be back soon. If you go there, we will have to take care of you and won't be able to do anything. You can help grandma pick vegetables at home and make delicious food for lunch. In the afternoon, we will also make fried dumplings and fried crispy meat. They are delicious."

When the two children heard that there was something delicious to eat, they looked a little troubled. The delicious food finally defeated the opportunity to go out and play, and they both nodded.

"Well, we'll help grandma pick vegetables and make delicious food at home. I might do it."

"Yes, yes, Xiaomei is the most capable..."

"Junning is also very capable, a little man..."

He looked at Chenxi and his brother and praised them all: "Chenxi and Chenhao are also very capable..."

The little kids were very happy to hear people praising them, and they ate even more enthusiastically.

They had to finish eating quickly so that they could help pick vegetables.

After Liu's mother and Zhao's wife finished their breakfast, they first went to feed the two piglets in the barn with a bucket of pig food. They were all vegetable leaves they had picked before, and some pig grass they cut nearby, mixed with the water from washing the pot, and boiled it before feeding the piglets.

Looking at the piglets eating: "Bang bang bang..."

Liu's mother seemed to see the modern times when they were young and feeding pigs.

After finishing breakfast, Liu's father took Zhu Lei and Sun Zeyuan to look around the house.

"When we build houses, we'll start from this left side and add row after row. There's a barn behind this. I'm thinking we'll build rows of pig pens and continue to dig the soil all the way to the swamp. We'll dig a big hole in the swamp to make a manure pit. We'll also clean up the chicken and duck droppings and put them in the manure pit."

"Uncle Liu, I took a look at the toilets and bathrooms built over there. Although they are very convenient, they should still be separated. Human excrement is also natural farm fertilizer. Bath water and the like are too much. It is best to discharge them separately."

"I've thought about it, but it's too troublesome to separate them. Fortunately, bathing is different now. There is more water in the summer, but not so much bathing water in the winter. We'll discuss this later. Currently, there are three rooms in the toilet, two female toilets and one male toilet. The two bathrooms are also separated by gender.

I built a heated kang inside so that I can take a bath in winter without getting cold. I will redesign it when I expand the house later. This is designed according to the standard of a dormitory. When our farm opens in the future, we will also need to recruit people, so this will be used as a dormitory. People who come to work here will also live here.”

Father Liu walked in front, like a leader inspecting a construction site, giving instructions here and there.

This is their future kingdom!

Sun Zeyuan and Zhu Lei saw the swamp, which looked bumpy and indeed quite large. The swamp was overgrown with weeds, and at the end was an endless reed marsh. It was connected to the mountain in front, and on the other side of the mountain was the county town.

There is a stone road at the foot of the semicircular hill surrounding the swamp. The shortcut by the river was submerged due to the rising water. Villagers who want to go into the city have to take this semicircular stone road, which is twice as far as the shortcut.

Looking at the small hill across the road, the visible side is all the mountain land bought by Liu's father.

There were weeds and some dead trees on the hillside. It was winter now, and he couldn't tell what kind of trees they were. But there were no dead branches on the ground. They were all picked up by nearby villagers and taken home to burn as firewood.

This year, from now on, people in the village can no longer go to the hillside to collect firewood. This hillside is now the private land of Liu's family, and is no longer the unowned land under the jurisdiction of the county.

"We need to plant fruit trees and raise chickens on the mountain, and we also need to find a way to build a fence. After the beginning of the year, we will dig soil from the swamp and mix it with hay to make adobe bricks and dry them. There is still a lot to do."

"Uncle Liu, we have strength in numbers, and we are full of energy when we work. This is our home in the future, and everyone is full of energy."

"Yes, Uncle Liu, when we have money in the future, we will buy all the hills here. We can turn it into a real farm manor."

Liu Caixia also arrived at the county town after more than an hour.

The county town was bustling at this time, and before entering the city, one could see people coming and going outside the city gate, some driving horse-drawn carriages, some driving ox-drawn carts, and some carrying loads on their shoulders.

After entering the city, I found that the main street, which is usually very busy, was even more crowded with people.

"Dad, I want this..."

A little boy who looked about three or four years old was pulling a man and pointing at a rattle on the shoulder of a peddler, rolling around and making a fuss, with a stubborn determination not to give up.

"Young Master, this is only five cents. It's very solidly made and is from the capital. I heard that the prince's youngest son likes to play with this kind of rattle the most."

The peddler lied with open eyes and sold his goods without thinking.

"Okay, okay, dad will buy it for you..."

The little boy took the rattle and shook it left and right. The "dong dong dong" sound was so pleasant to hear.

Liu Xiaolu and Lin Keyu were also very curious, because these were things they could only see in TV dramas.

"Mom, we want to walk around the city for a while"

"We were originally walking this way, and there's not enough time for you to visit along the way!"
