The fat wife is rebellious: she was spoiled by the group on the way to escape famine

With Song Wenqin's departure, the fullness in her arms disappeared in an instant, and a sense of emptiness arose in her heart.

Seeing that Jiang Jinhe had recovered some of his complexion, he went out with peace of mind and prepared to discuss the current urgent matters with his subordinates.

The situation in the city is not optimistic and we need to make plans early.

After Song Wenqin left, Jiang Jinhe was bored and didn't want to face the concern of Song Yuyu and Wan'er, so she went to the backyard alone to check the seeds she had planted not long ago.

It was a small piece of land less than one square meter, covered with fertile soil brought back from Lingshan.

All that was planted were fast-growing vegetables, after many previous attempts on this ordinary land had failed.

About half a month passed. At first, Jiang Jinhe observed it every day, but in recent days, he had no time to take care of it because of food anxiety.

As she happened to have some free time today, she decided to go and take a look.

When we arrived at the backyard, the darker-colored land immediately caught our eye.

At first glance, it appears to be no different from when the seeds were first sown.

Upon closer inspection, a hint of green comes into view.

That is the fresh green brought by the seedlings breaking through the soil.

Jiang Jinhe's worry disappeared instantly, and her face was filled with surprise.

Afraid that she was seeing things, she checked again and again, and found that most of the seeds had hatched, and her excitement subsided.

Even with almost no watering, the seeds still germinated, which is enough to prove that the soil in Lingshan is capable of growing crops.

Jiang Jinhe secretly made up his mind that further verification was necessary.

Take more soil and try again. If crops can be successfully grown, it will undoubtedly be a great hope for the people!

She squatted in the backyard, looking at the small piece of land again and again, feeling nostalgic for it.

Song Yuyu and Jiang Wan'er occasionally looked back at her, knowing that she needed to be alone, so they did not disturb her.

Near noon, Song Wenqin returned home for dinner and was stopped by Song Yuyu, who talked about Jiang Jinhe's unusual behavior.

"Brother, my sister-in-law has been squatting in the backyard all morning, grinning foolishly at the ground. It's quite creepy. Is she okay?" Song Yuyu asked worriedly.

Song Wenqin knew what was happening in the backyard. Hearing this, a sense of joy surged in his heart. He comforted his sister with a few words and hurried to the backyard.

Song Yuyu looked at her brother's back, shook her head in confusion, and turned around to continue preparing lunch.

Jiang Wan'er followed quietly to help.

In the backyard, Jiang Jinhe heard footsteps, looked up and saw her husband, and immediately called out, "Husband, come and look! Look!"

Song Wenqin walked quickly forward, squatted opposite her, and looked in the direction she was pointing.

"Look, here, there, and over there, the seeds I planted have almost all sprouted!" Jiang Jinhe's face was beaming, as if she was showing off having won an international award, full of pride.

"My dear, let's go to Lingshan tonight to get more soil and plant more crops. If we can really grow some crops, I will suggest to Lord Lin that we mobilize the people to farm together. Perhaps there will be a way out for the famine!"

Song Wenqin readily agreed. That night, after dinner, they took advantage of the cover of darkness to quickly travel to Lingshan.

Jiang Jinhe's physical fitness has improved greatly, and he can barely keep up with Song Wenqin's pace.

In less than four hours, the two arrived at the foot of Lingshan Mountain.

In the dim moonlight, facing the dark mountains that were taller than those in the daytime, Jiang Jinhe took a deep breath, as if to dispel the haze he had seen for days.

The tragedies we witnessed along the way were heartbreaking: cannibalism, corpses lying everywhere, and even new graves being robbed, with only scattered bones left of the remains we had seen last time.

The reason was known to both of them.

Faced with all this, Jiang Jinhe had no choice but to force himself to concentrate on farming and look forward to a better life in the future in order to relieve the burden on his mind.

After a night of hard work, at dawn, the two returned with two bags of fertile soil.

Song Wenqin carried a large bag on his shoulders, while Jiang Jinhe carried a small bag. They did not rest after returning home. She did not look tired after staying up all night, but rather a little excited due to excessive excitement.

Then he began to spread the soil on the newly cleared land in the backyard.

Just after sowing the seeds, Lin Shen's messenger arrived.

"Mr. Song, Madam Jiang, the Lord invites you."

The two exchanged glances, understanding each other's intentions. Without any hesitation, they went immediately. Lin Shen had also stayed up all night waiting, his face haggard, his complexion sallow, and dark circles under his eyes.

"Master Lin, what are you doing..."

Lin Shen smiled bitterly and replied, "Alas, I'm still worried about the people, but now I'm helpless. Do you two have any ideas for saving the people?"

Song Wenqin looked at Jiang Jinhe, waiting for her reply.

Jiang Jinhe looked hesitant. The planting was not stable yet, and even if it was successful, it would not solve the urgent problem in the short term.

Lin Shen said anxiously, "Alas, no matter how capable a cook is, he can't cook without rice. Your Excellency, don't you agree?"

He pointed to the small amount of food beside him and added, "I still have some rations left, but for so many people, it's just a drop in the ocean. It won't satisfy our hunger."

For these grains, Lin Shen has done his best. He sold the things in the county government that could be exchanged for money and bought back this life-saving straw at a high price.

Afterwards, he led Jiang Jinhe and Song Wenqin into the granary. In that spacious space, the scattered grain looked particularly desolate.

But for Jiang Jinhe, this is already a rare thing.

An idea suddenly popped into my mind: open a store, not for profit, but just to use this part of the grain to relieve the people's difficulties. Even if it can only bring a glimmer of hope, it is better than the human nature sinking in despair.

So she asked Lin Shen, "Is there any vacant large shop in the city? I want to open a shop and provide free food to the people."

Upon hearing this, Lin Shen bowed deeply, his voice choking with sobs. "I will always remember this kindness. I'll take care of the shop, sir. I'll take care of the rest."

Jiang Jinhe and Song Wenqin helped Lin Shen up. She said earnestly, "Your Excellency is too kind. When the country is in crisis, every citizen has a responsibility. In these troubled times, it is our blessing to be able to do our bit for you and the people."

Lin Shen was filled with gratitude and immediately devoted himself to the preparation of the shop.

Jiang Jinhe stared at the food, his mind racing, thinking about finding a food that was both filling and easy to prepare.

She and Song Wenqin opened the grain bags one by one and found that most of them were brown rice and old grains, which just met their needs - at this moment, taste was no longer the priority, the key was the quantity to fill them up.

Lin Shen was quite efficient and secured a shop the next day. It was an abandoned grain store, whose owner had fled due to famine, leaving the shop unused. Thanks to Lin Shen's arrangement, it was possible to borrow it temporarily.

After many days of experimentation, Jiang Jinhe finally finalized the recipe: a kind of pastry.

Grind all the rough grains into powder and mix in a little Guanyin soil. This can not only enhance the feeling of fullness, but also relieve the common problem of diarrhea. Due to water pollution, diarrhea has become the norm, and the montmorillonite contained in Guanyin soil is just the right remedy. It is not easily digested and can satisfy hunger for a long time. Adding it in small doses will not be harmful, killing three birds with one stone.
