Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

Xiaoliu held the sausage in his mouth, reluctant to let it go, and only swallowed it reluctantly after it had lost its taste.

It's obviously meat, but it tastes sweet.

Lin asked him, "Don't you like the taste?"

Xiaoliu shook his head like a rattle. "It's not that I don't like it. It's just so delicious. I've never had sausages this delicious in the county before."

Cui Jingwen's mouth was bulging, and he said incoherently: "It's delicious, delicious, and tastes the same as before."

Cui Zhaozhao didn't bother to speak and nodded frantically.

Xiaoliu opened his eyes wide: "When has Second Brother ever eaten before?"

"That..." Cui Jingwen realized that he had let the cat out of the bag. "I ate at your brother Xu's house once before. Come on and eat. Children shouldn't talk while eating."

Xiaoliu obediently buried his head and continued eating.

really tasty.

Because they were planting seeds in the fields today, Erlang and his friends didn't finish work and go home until it was getting dark.

Lin steamed the sausages in advance, cut them into slices, and served them directly to the dining table when the upper and west rooms were ready for dinner.

The locusts in the fields seemed endless, and the villagers wanted to stay in the fields all day long, even keeping one eye open while sleeping.

"This sausage was sent by the third son's wife, right? It tastes good. Put it away and don't eat it yet. After the autumn harvest, when you've exchanged the new grain for money, buy a pound of wine and eat it with it."

Old man Cui ate two slices of sausage and quickly grabbed a large bowl of rice. Before he could even sit down on the bench, he led his whole family to the fields.

We also need to continue lighting bonfires to trap locusts.

By the time they finished working on the two plots of land, everyone was so tired that they couldn't lift their arms.

Lin truly understood the difficulties faced by farmers in ancient times. Without the help of pesticides or machinery, all farm work depended on their own hands, and every grain of food represented hard work and sweat.

No wonder the villagers envy the scholars. Compared with farming, studying hard is not hard at all.

She thought to herself that Cui Chengliang was very perseverant as he stayed in the village and farmed for three years.

When Lin went out, he brought a bamboo basket with him. When he was killing locusts just now, he caught dozens of locusts.

After returning home and taking a shower, I lit a lamp and cut open a locust I had caught yesterday.

After being in contact with the virus for a day, if you are infected, it should be visible.

After looking at the firelight all night, Lin felt dizzy under the bean-sized candlelight.

"Zhao Zhao, come and help me check if this locust has yellow inside."

Cui Zhaozhao leaned over to take a look, but still couldn't tell what was going on.

"How about getting it tested?"

It costs ten taels to test once, and we can’t test it every time.

"Forget it, let's wait till dawn. There's no need to rush."

Wait until dawn.

The first thing Lin did when he got up was to look at the locusts on the table.

Under the sunlight, it is obvious that the locust's body is yellow.

Lin cut open five of them in a row, and found that the bellies of three of them were yellow.

She also observed the condition of the locusts. The infected locusts' activities were not affected, but they stopped eating.

Lin set about dividing the locusts in his home into two control groups.

The locusts that stopped eating were placed individually in a bamboo basket with a plate of grains at the bottom of the basket.

The newly caught locusts last night were placed in a cage with the corpses of locusts infected with the virus.

After finishing these, Lin went to the earthen house again.

The chicken looked more lively than yesterday. It lay on the ground, its black eyes staring at Lin who pushed the door open.

"Don't look anymore. Line up and open your mouths. I'll feed you medicine." Lin muttered, "I'll do my best to save you, but you have to be good too. Take your medicine obediently. Only when you recover will you have the strength to eat and live a healthy life."

The chick in the front seemed to understand what was said, and opened its mouth wide. Lin quickly picked up a chopstick of medicine and fed it to it.

It didn't take much time before all the dozen or so chicks had taken the medicine.

Lin came out of the mud house, called Cui Jingwen, and hurried to the village entrance to catch a bus.

After entering the county town, we first found a stall and each of us had a big bowl of wontons.

The wonton skin is thin and the filling is large, but there are more vegetables and less meat in the filling. The price of five cents attracted many passers-by.

Cui Jingwen finished the bowl in three or five mouthfuls, then bought a boiled egg and slowly peeled it: "I remember there are two or three escort agencies in the east of the city. Let's go there and have a look."

Both mother and daughter were familiar with Qingyang County. Lin also had an impression of it. Qingyang County was not big, and the only few escort agencies were all on a street in the east of the city.

At this time, a diner passed by the table, looked at Cui Jingwen twice, and then said in surprise: "Brother Cui? It really is you."

Cui Jingwen looked up when he heard the voice, and immediately stood up with a smile, and unexpectedly met an acquaintance.

"Mom, let me introduce you. This is Brother Li. It was Brother Li and his team who took care of my sister and me during those days when we were looking for water."

Lin smiled and praised, "This young man has a very strong physique. Just looking at him makes people feel awe."

Li Shiren is as his name suggests, with a strong build, like a walking stone.

"Not really. Brother Cui is more capable than me."

Li Shi replied honestly, and then he pulled Cui Jingwen to sit down, muttering in a low voice, "Luckily you met me. Zhao Li has been guarding the yamen gate for the past two days, complaining every day that he can't eat, waiting for your pickles, but he never shows up despite his long wait."

Cui Jingwen also wanted to make money, but a good cook cannot cook without rice.

"The autumn harvest is almost here, and I'm really busy in the fields. I will deliver it myself within two days at the latest." Cui Jingwen swore to the sky.

"The autumn harvest is more important. We've been incredibly busy lately." Li Shi pointed at the two dark circles under his eyes. "I've been up all night for two nights straight. I barely even have time to breathe."

Cui Jingwen asked in surprise: "Are you so busy?"

Li Shi picked up the bowl and took a sip of wonton soup. "It's all because of the chicken plague. There's unrest everywhere in the city. The other day, someone died after eating at a restaurant. The family couldn't swallow this anger and wanted to burn the restaurant down..."

Cui Jingwen said righteously: "Well done! I would also burn these profit-seeking and unscrupulous merchants."

Li Shi was obviously on the side of the diners, but as a constable, he could only maintain order.

"Let's not talk about this. Are you and your aunt going to the city to buy things today?"

"I'm planning to go to Lindong County. I'll go to the escort agency later to see if there's a convoy to take a ride."

Li Shi slapped his thigh and said, "Why look for an escort agency? Just ask me directly about this."

The escort agency had to report to the county government before sending an escapade. As Li Shi had a very good relationship with the yamen runners, he directly took them to an escort agency he was familiar with.

Li Shi hurried home to catch up on his sleep and left after negotiating with the people from the escort agency.

As relatives, Lin and Cui Jingwen were arranged to ride in a carriage, half of which was filled with goods, while the other side was left empty for them.

The convoy set off half an hour later, and more than a dozen people followed the convoy one after another, but they could only follow behind the convoy.

Cui Jingwen sighed, "When you're out and about, you still have to rely on your connections. If Captain Yan showed up, maybe we could even ride in a carriage alone."

Lin laughed and said, "Favors must be repaid. Next time you go to the city, remember to bring two kilograms of sausages as a gift."

If it weren't for Li Shi, they would have to walk to Lindong County like everyone else today.

Two pounds of sausage is nothing.

I'm sorry everyone, my relative is in the hospital recently, and two cats at home have contracted feline plague at the same time. I'm really too busy to take care of everything, so I can only stop updating for two days. I will try to update tomorrow. Thank you for your understanding.
