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

As long as you have enough food to eat, life will not be difficult.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

early morning.

Lin steamed the chestnuts, mashed them into a paste, added flour, milk and sugar, and kneaded them into small doughs to let rise.

After finishing the work, he covered the dough with a cloth to let it rise, then turned and went to the inner room and rubbed Xiaoliu's smooth little face.

"Hurry, get up."

Xiaoliu giggled from the itch, and was sniffing his palm when he suddenly opened his eyes.

“It tastes delicious!”

Lin smiled and pinched his little face. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the boy had more flesh on his face than a few days ago.

"If you don't get up now, there will be no share for you."

"Get up, get up!" Xiaoliu rushed out of bed.

Cui Jingwen looked resentful. His mother had never loved him so much when he was a child. It was true that having a child in old age was more precious.

There was a table at the end of the bed, and Cui Jingwen would copy books when he woke up.

Lin flipped through it and asked, "Are you almost done copying it?"

"If I can finish copying it today, I can send it over tomorrow."

Cui Jingwen flipped through a thick stack of papers, feeling proud. Although Xiaoliu was cute, he still had to rely on him to make money!

"My son is awesome." Lin praised sincerely.

Cui Jingwen suddenly became energetic and seemed to have endless energy.

He is the pillar of the family!

Xiaoliu was washing up and came out of the inner room. Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally finished copying.

Zhao Zhao has saved more than eight taels of silver from selling mushrooms these days. Since he hasn't finished copying the book yet, he can only use the money as a decoration.

Now that I have copied the books and exchanged them for money, I can take advantage of the situation and buy some things.

Autumn is coming soon, so we need to prepare quilts and cotton clothes in advance, as well as mattresses to put under our bodies.

When I first came here, I always had small bumps on my body. Later I found out that it was an allergy to the straw mat. These days, I have been feeling better after using linen as a pad, but I still get small bumps occasionally.

After the dough has risen, divide it into small pieces, press them into small pancakes, and fry them slowly over low heat until they become golden and crispy.

The first chestnut cake came out of the pan, with bubbles sizzling on the surface. Lin broke off a piece and handed the rest to Xiaoliu.

This chestnut cake can be used as a staple food or as a snack for teeth grinding. It looks inconspicuous but is very nutritious.

The last chestnut cake came out of the oven, and Cui Zhaozhao came back from the mountain carrying a basket.

Ever since the chestnut forest was discovered on the mountain, more and more people have gone there to pick up chestnuts.

She could only go up the mountain at dawn. If she went too late, she wouldn't even be able to see the mushroom stems.

Xiaoliu took the basket sensibly. While he was moving his legs to drag the stool, Cui Zhaozhao leaned close to his mother's ear, unable to contain his excitement.

"Mom, I have saved almost ten taels of silver here."

Lin smiled and said, "It just so happens that your brother has finished copying the book. Let's go to the city to buy some things tomorrow."

Cui Zhaozhao also wanted to go into the city. To upgrade the shopping mall to the third level, he had to spend money, which was ten taels of silver.

Most importantly, according to the prompt, level three will unlock the detection skill, and she really wants to know how powerful it is.

Can you tell how many new mushrooms have grown on the mountain just by sitting at home?

The mother and daughter were discussing what they needed to buy when suddenly the mother blushed and whispered, "Let's see if there's any muslin."

"Fine cotton cloth? Wouldn't it be a bit conspicuous?" The villagers all wore coarse cloth, and only the rich families in the county town could afford to use cotton cloth to make clothes.

"No." Since she was her own daughter, there was nothing wrong with her saying, "I just wanted to buy some fine cotton cloth to make some panties. I feel unclean if I don't wear them."

Cui Zhaozhao blinked. His body was still small and he had completely ignored this matter. No wonder he always felt like something was missing.

This matter was indeed very important, and she took it to heart.

After dinner, each family member has their own work to do.

Lin went to help in the kitchen, Cui Jingwen, needless to say, copied books without fail, Cui Zhaozhao cleaned the house and made lunch, but Xiaoliu, who should have been idle, was the one who was most anxious to go out.

Just as he left the house, he came back in a hurry: "Mom, can I take two pancakes with me?"

He couldn't bear to see his friend go hungry.

Lin waved her hands helplessly: "Take it, take it."

"Thank you, Mom!" Xiaoliu smiled, grabbed the pancake and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Don't run so fast right after dinner!"

The only response from Lin was air.

Cui Zhaozhao shook his head. "Mr. He was so happy when his dog gave birth. If you didn't know better, you would think the dog's puppies were his."

Lin was amused. Xiaoliu liked Mr. He's dog very much, but people could never get enough to eat, let alone a dog.

When I first saw the dog, it was skinny and had a weirdly big belly.

All the dogs in other families in the village were eaten, but Mr. He treated his dog as a family member and was reluctant to kill it. His dog usually never left the village, so no one knew where the puppies came from.

Xiaoliu secretly fed the leftovers at home to the dog, and Lin turned a blind eye to it. After all, even if the dog tasted something wrong, it couldn't tell.

I guess Mr. He’s dog is about to give birth, so I’ll adopt one and keep it after he finishes the confinement period, so that he won’t have to stick to other people’s dogs every day.

Because Lin and her children discovered chestnuts, the villagers were much more enthusiastic when they went out.

There are a lot of people under the big locust tree today.

Lin walked up to Yu and couldn't help asking, "What day is it today?"

No water has been dug out for so many days, and many villagers privately said that this is a dead well and no water can be drawn from it.

Yu couldn't hide her excitement. "We're almost digging out water. This morning, when we went down the well, we found water seeping out. Master Pei said we'll definitely be able to dig it out today."

"That's great." Lin's voice couldn't help but rise.

I originally thought that Master Pei was just a name, but he actually had some skills.

With water we can survive.

"Water...water! There's water!"

The helper shouted tremblingly, and a group of people gathered around him in an instant.

Buckets of water were brought up. The freshly drawn water was mixed with yellow mud. Although it was turbid, it was enough to make the whole village boil.

Some even knelt by the well and kowtowed, "God, please open your eyes! God, please open your eyes!"

The men laid wooden boards on the well wall, completing the final work.

The village head burst into tears, and finally he could put his mind at ease.

Master Pei also put down his heavy burden: "By digging a well, I have completed the commission entrusted by the county magistrate." After saying that, he ordered the people beside him to prepare the car.

"Leaving now? It's not too late to leave after dinner." The headman's face was flushed. He still had a jar of Bamboo Leaf Green that had been stored for more than ten years. He was reluctant to take it out even when his son got married.

He is so happy today that he wants to get drunk with Master Pei!

Master Pei smiled faintly: "No, the county magistrate is still waiting for me, so I won't eat it."

Under the regretful gaze of the village head, the carriage drove out of Xiahe Village.

Turning around, the village head narrowed his eyes and said, "Then he drinks it himself!"

No matter what I say today, I must get drunk!

There were less than ten pounds of grain left from digging the well, so the village headman ordered Lin to cook it all. He then reluctantly took two chickens from the chicken coop and treated everyone to some meat.

Xiahe Village has never been so lively.

There were two tables set up under the big locust tree. In addition to the helpers, there were also several respected elders in the village.

Many villagers spontaneously gathered under the big locust tree with their bowls in hand. After all, a new well had been dug, and the daily water volume had to be renegotiated.

Halfway through the meal, the village head brought up the matter.

After discussion, it was decided that each person could draw an extra half bucket of water every day.

The whole village is divided into three time periods according to morning, noon and evening, and the Cui family is in the morning.
