Bracelet space through the past and present? Take it

These two days,

Zhou Lingling was staying next door with her grandparents, so she could be considered entertaining her parents.

She also did not forget to ask Tang Biao to keep an eye on the movements in the general's mansion. If there was any news coming back from the border, Qi Zhu would inform her immediately.

The family and the old patriarch sat in the yard, talking about what had happened in the past few months.

Zhou Lingling picked up a few interesting things to tell everyone, such as the Tang family members who are now the long-term workers of the family. They met the fleeing Tang family members on their way to the northern border, and finally came to the northern border together.

For example, there are now two places in Anbei City where new crops have been planted. I will take them there to see them in two days.

When I first arrived, I found that there were no green leafy vegetables in northern Xinjiang in winter, so I could only grow them in my room.

The Chen family and the old patriarch listened with great interest, and from Zhou Lingling's words they outlined their life in the northern border during this period.

Although they knew that Ling Yatou's family's life in the Northern Frontier would not be as fun and without any danger as she said, everyone was relieved now that they were all fine.

Then, Chen Jiakang, who was always a chatterbox, began to talk about what happened after they left.

Everything is almost the same as the news from Qi Zhu.

Their manor had been surrounded by refugees several times, but fortunately the road was long and they had not left yet. Knowing that there were still one or two hundred people inside, the refugees had to think carefully.

Later, the new grain matured, and with the concerted efforts of all the people, Yunshui County and several surrounding counties gradually stabilized, and there were no riots like other places in the southern region.

Uncle Chen added, "When we were captured, only a small portion of the new grain we were given was kept to ensure we wouldn't starve to death. The majority was planted in the fields."

"It's been more than three months now, so I think this batch of grain has been harvested."

When Uncle Chen said this, everyone felt relieved.

The old patriarch also said: "The grain in our village is the same. Each family can produce 200 kilograms, but we only keep a few dozen kilograms. Most of it is planted."

They saw the potato yield with their own eyes. After harvesting this batch of potatoes, they can keep half of them and plant the rest.

By the summer, the famine in Yunshui County and surrounding areas was almost solved, not to mention the entire southern region.

As for other places, they are just ordinary people.

In these troubled times, everyone can only take care of themselves first, and then their relatives and friends.

Hearing this, Zhou Lingling was also a little confused.

Unexpectedly, under such difficult circumstances, everyone only kept enough food to survive and replanted most of the potatoes.

The climate in the south is warm, so potatoes are planted after the New Year.

Northern Xinjiang was more than a month late.

It’s time to harvest potatoes in Yunshui County.

"We all have foresight. As long as we can get through this year, next year will definitely be a good year."

Zhou Lingling said so.

Most of the food in her space was used up when it was sent to the border last time, and now she has accumulated tens of thousands of pounds.

But now they can't go back.

A few days ago, I heard from Uncle Lu who came back that their caravan couldn't go south this year.

The imperial court set up checkpoints along the way on the pretext of intercepting refugees, but in fact they were intercepting caravans from the north.

Unless they took the sparsely populated mountains and forests, it would be almost impossible to go south.

So Uncle Lu and the others can only stay in Anbei City this year.

In the original book, although Xiao Yan died at this time, the Northern Barbarians' cavalry broke through the northern border but stopped at the northern border.

The court is still the same court.

After two years of unrest in various places, the dynasty that was on the verge of decline was revived again because of a new ruler.

What’s funny is that this new master is not the third prince who had successfully planned it.

After saying this, everyone inevitably talked about the two families being arrested.

All in all, if it weren't for her, the elderly people and my uncle wouldn't have to suffer this.

Seeing the guilt in her granddaughter's eyes, Old Mrs. Chen patted her hands:

"Silly girl, your grandfather and I are in good health. It is thanks to this incident that our family is reunited."

Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen, and the Chen Jiakang brothers nodded repeatedly.

Butcher Chen also said, "Ever since you left, your grandmother has been complaining all day long, saying that it would have been better for her to go with you than to sit in a prison van halfway."

If you think about it carefully, apart from eating and sleeping poorly, they didn't suffer any serious consequences.

I wasn't beaten or scolded.

This was because, under Aunt Chen's suggestion, they told the imperial envoy:

If there is any harm in their family members, they will never reveal any information about the new grain even if they meet Your Majesty.

That's why Zhou Yong and his wife brought Zhou Zhuo with them all the way and took good care of them.

After Chen the Butcher finished speaking, the old couple laughed to themselves.

Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen also had smiles on their faces.

Aunt Chen said, "For us, this can be considered a blessing in disguise."

"Speaking of which, I have to thank Uncle Zhou, Sister Li, and Brother Zhuo for all the help along the way. Without you, we wouldn't have made it to Northern Xinjiang safely."

She thanked him sincerely.

Although the police officers did not beat or scold them, they also turned a blind eye to them.

There was nothing to eat all the way to Jiangnan, no grain at all, and they couldn't buy any even if they had money.

Zhou Yong and his wife and Zhou Zhuo roamed the mountains and plains looking for food.

Later, her mother-in-law fell ill, and she and her husband could only worry about her in the prison car on the other side. It was the Zhou couple who helped buy medicine and boil medicine to take care of her.

To be honest, Zhou Yong's family did them a favor.

But the old patriarch and Zhou Yong's family of three don't think so.

Since it was Aunt Chen who said this, Li Shi stepped in and said, "It's a bit awkward for my sister-in-law to say this."

"Not to mention Ling's help to the village, our Zhuo Ge'er has also benefited greatly. We have to take care of our father-in-law anyway, so we can be considered to be supporting each other along the way."

Besides, if the Zhou family hadn’t helped, they would probably have been taken to the capital by now.

You won’t even know whether you’re dead or alive by then, so how can you sit here and chat?

The two of them exchanged pleasantries again.

Zhou Lingling watched her aunt and Li interacting with each other. Although she was a little surprised at the change in Li's mother-in-law, she could also see her aunt's determination.

If they have the chance in the future, they will definitely repay this "favor".

She did not interject, but snuggled up to her grandmother as she did before, enjoying this rare tranquility.

Grandma's health is fine, otherwise she would never be at peace in her life.

It’s great that everyone is still alive. Things will definitely get better and better in the future...

After all the gossip,

The most patient person in the family is actually the most impatient.

Chen Jiaan asked first, "Lingling, we've been here for four or five days. Didn't you say you had something for us to do?"

Chen Jiakang also misses the days at the tavern last year.

In his eyes, Sister Lingling is his mentor!

Only sister Lingling can discover her own shining points!

"Yes, sister, what do you want us to do? Just tell me!"

When he asked this question, both the Chen family and the old patriarch's family had the same idea.

None of us can sit idle.

Especially Zhou Yong's family.

The Chen family is Zhou Erge's in-laws. They are just from the same village and are just guests living here.

But I just arrived and am completely unfamiliar with this place, so I can only stay at Chen's house for the time being.

Seeing the reaction of Uncle Zhou Yong's family, Zhou Lingling felt satisfied.

Although she felt that she was the one who caused the harm to her grandparents, she did not feel that way about them.

Zhoujia Village has gained a lot, but it also has to pay something in return.

As for why Zhou Yong was the village chief and the old patriarch was arrested, it was their family matter and she would not say much.

Besides, Zhou Yong's family would give up everything and follow the old patriarch to Beijing, even if it was just to collect the corpse, it was still a bit of friendship.

As for what my aunt said, she will take care of the family in the future as a reward for their help to my grandmother.

"Don't worry, cousin. I do need your help with something, but I haven't prepared anything yet. I'll come back tomorrow and tell you in detail then."

"Uncle, aunt, and Uncle Zhou Yong, you too, wait for me tomorrow..."

Before she finished speaking, Chen Jiakang waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's too troublesome for you to carry things with you! We'll come find you tomorrow morning."

The others nodded in agreement.

Well, although that thing was not heavy for Zhou Lingling.

"Okay, I'll go back and get ready. See you tomorrow."

Here

As soon as she returned home, Tang Biao brought her a letter from the General's Mansion.

Great victory at the border.
