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

Father Liu Caixia looked around the farm and walked toward the back mountain. "Caixia, what are your plans for the future? Now that you live a dull life, it seems that all your previous ambitions have faded a lot. You don't know what your father thought at the beginning. Now that I think about it, I feel like I must have lost my mind at that time."

Liu Caixia knew everything. He knew it roughly from the time his father gathered these fellow villagers. It was nothing more than building a huge power in this dynasty.

It's not that she doesn't support you. "Dad, I support you no matter what you think. But you are not young anymore. Some things can't be accomplished overnight. A tall building is built from the ground, and it can't be accomplished in a day or two. You started from a very small business. It took a long time, and now we are where we are. You have this idea to better protect our future generations. You have already made a good start for us. We will take over the rest. I believe that no matter where we are, as long as we are united, we will have a place for ourselves."

Father Liu was very pleased. Liu Caixia was no longer the daughter who needed him to worry about everything. After going through so many ups and downs, she had really grown up. He patted Liu Caixia's shoulder with satisfaction.

"Now that you and Wei Zhong have decided to be together, the weight on my heart has been lifted. To be honest, I've thought about nurturing Xiao Lu and Keyu before. I'm afraid that Xiao Lu will be traumatized by her scumbag father, and how can she get married in the future? I have no problem not getting married in modern times, but here, if you don't get married, the court will levy taxes and we just have to pay the money. Rumors can also kill people."

"Dad, I'm sorry to have worried you. I used to be worried about Xiaolu, but now I see she's getting more cheerful. She doesn't understand the relationship between men and women yet, so let's put off getting married until she's 18 at the latest. If she and Ke Yu are interested, they can be together then. Even if Wei Zhong and I are together, they have no blood relationship."

In mid-April, according to the customs of this time, there is no such thing as the new calendar or the old calendar. Everything should be calculated according to the lunar calendar.

In April, all things come back to life and grass and trees grow wildly. A year's plan depends on spring, and spring plowing is related to whether people can have food to eat and whether they can have enough food to eat throughout the year.

There were two spring rains in succession a few days ago. After this spring rain, the crops in the fields grew wildly.

Looking around, the back mountain is full of vitality and greenery.

"You are right. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I am old now. I just need to do the logistics work for you. It is time to hand over the affairs to you young people."

"Dad, look at what you said. You are the pillar of our community. Without you as a solid backing, we would be very weak."

"You are becoming more and more worldly-wise now. O(n_n)O Haha~"

"Dad, this sweet potato vine is growing well..."

"Starting tomorrow, I will ask the villagers to help plant sweet potatoes in all the open space on the back hill. You can see that many of the fruit trees I planted near the road are thriving."

Liu Caixia saw a row of half-person-high stone embankments on the roadside at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by a fence. Through the fence, she could see the saplings behind, which had already surpassed the height of the fence and were covered with tender leaves.

"This is an orange tree. What are those trees?"

Liu Caixia has been influenced by her family since she was a child. She is not the kind of young lady who cannot tell the difference between grains. She knows many crops, including fruit trees, but she really couldn't recognize those saplings.

"That's also a tangerine tree, a native citrus. You know the kind of tangerines with seeds that you ate when you were a kid. The kind that makes you get a sore throat if you eat too much! I think this is that kind of tree. I bought a small tree from the next village. There's a family in the next village that grows a lot of these tangerine trees. Every year, many small trees sprout from under that tree, but they're cut down because no one wants them. I specifically asked the village chief, who recommended it to me. He said that every household will plant a few of these tangerine trees. They'll be harvested at the end of November, and sold in the city for a very cheap price. Every household keeps some for a snack during the Chinese New Year."

"Fruits are quite rare at this time. If there are apples, they will definitely sell well. You can see that there are almost no fruit shops in the city. Occasionally there are some fruits from other places, but they are reserved by wealthy families. Didn't you save some apple cores and try to grow them before?"

"Over there!" Father Liu took Liu Caixia forward and pointed to some small trees. "There are not only apple trees, but also pear trees, a surviving mango tree and a loquat tree."

"Loquat trees are easy to grow and can reproduce very quickly. They can also be used as medicine. If they can be planted on a large scale, it should bring in a lot of revenue."

"Yes, I saved four or five loquat kernels and only one survived. I took good care of it. I will wait for it to bear fruit next year and then reproduce more. In the future, loquat trees will be planted all around this mountain. If you can't finish eating the loquats, you can boil them into loquat paste. Although it can't be kept for too long, it can still be preserved for three to five days. Rich families should like it. But the income from fruit trees is very slow. The first two years are for raising the trees. It will take at least three years before there will be income. At present, we still have to rely on the farm to make money."

"It means we have one more way out, so we don't put all our eggs in one basket. We are doing business now, setting up a farm, and planting fruit trees in the future. These are all ways to survive. We have a fixed income every month. Although we can't let everyone live a luxurious life, we can still have enough food and clothing. We are already better off than most ordinary people at this time. Take your time and do what you are capable of. When the children at home have a promising future, are you still worried about not having a good way out?"

"Yes, let's go back, it's time for lunch!"

The two walked back and forth around the foot of the mountain. In addition to some small fruit trees, there were also many seasonal vegetables planted in the fields a little further inside. The rest of the open space was also turned over and reclaimed, waiting to be transplanted with sweet potato seedlings.

"By the way, Dad, where's the potato?"

"There is a sunny area behind the house where the potatoes are grown. The potatoes we harvested are only about ten pounds, so it doesn't take up too much land."

"Oh, I really want to eat potatoes."

"If you really want to eat it, just stir-fry two and make a plate. It won't make a big difference."

"Forget it, it won't have much of an impact. Two potatoes can grow several nests. Harvesting them will yield several pounds of potatoes. Let's wait until next year. There's no point in eating this meal."

"Potatoes are really a good thing. If this thing is promoted, I think we will definitely get a lot of rewards as long as no one else takes credit for it. Any normal person will know how beneficial this is to the country and the people."

"So let it continue to multiply. I can bear it. People really don't have enough to eat at this time."
