In the years of famine, in troubled times, the koi sweet wife is omnipotent

"what's up?"

The village chief asked her blankly.

Everyone was also puzzled. Is there anything more important than building a new house?

Xia Wanwan looked at the villagers with a heavy heart. Yang Sheng said, "Now, go to each village and gather everyone. Go to the mountains and forests and pick up all the mushrooms. I'll buy them at half a tael of silver per basket. And go catch fish in the river. One tael of silver per basket. I'll take whatever you catch."

"what?"

The village chief blinked and asked in confusion, "Why are you collecting so many mushrooms and fish? If we want to eat them, we can just catch fish and pick mushrooms ourselves. We can't even finish them all, so why would we need to mobilize people from other villages? Could it be that the immortals particularly like the mushrooms here, so they want us to pick more and then ask you to deliver them to them?"

Xia Wanwan's eyes were filled with sorrow, and she explained with a choked voice, "No, I collected these mushrooms and fish and planned to send them to the soldiers on the border.

They now eat grass roots and tree bark, and distribute everything they can to the people affected by the severe drought in the north.

Everyone knows that fighting is not easy for soldiers. They risk their lives to protect us. If they can't even get enough to eat, how can they win? How can they defend their country? As citizens of Jin, shouldn't we do our part?

"Not only should we not let all the soldiers eat white rice and meat, but we should at least let them have three full meals a day, even if it's just porridge and pickles, don't you agree?"

After hearing this, the villagers asked in disbelief, "How could this be possible? We hand over so much food every year, how could the soldiers not have enough to eat?"

"In the south, thanks to the advantages of mountains, forests, rivers, and abundant rainfall, droughts are rare, and even if they do occur, they are not severe. However, the weather in the north is inherently dry, and if a severe drought occurs, the grain harvest will be wiped out, and the people will suffer."

Xia Wanwan felt very heavy-hearted, and suddenly thought of China's South-to-North Water Diversion Project and the year when a certain province suffered a drought.

The famine claimed the lives of millions of people, and it even reached the point where people were eating each other's children.

She didn't want history to repeat itself in this situation, even though this was the State of Jin.

"Brother Cheng is one of the soldiers guarding the frontier. He told me personally that he had never seen a full bowl of rice. The soldiers worked hard to fight the enemy on the frontier, but they were often hungry. I wonder if you can bear to see them continue to eat grass roots and tree bark?"

Xia Wanwan's eyes were slightly red. As a soldier, her comrades were like brothers and sisters, like family members.

The sacrifice of any comrade is so tragic and sad, only a soldier can understand the unspeakable heartache.

"Could not bear."

The villagers, from the elderly to the children, all raised their fists above their heads, and the sound echoed loudly in the valley.

"Since these mushrooms and fish are for the soldiers, our village cannot accept your silver."

"Yes, that's right. We also want to do our part and do something meaningful."

The villagers all refused to take the money, and even though Xia Wanwan repeatedly said she would give them money, no one was willing to take it.

Soon, everyone called in all the villagers from the nearby villages. Those who were picking mushrooms picked mushrooms, those who were catching fish caught fish, and those who were collecting dry wood picked dry wood. As long as there was anything in the forest that could survive, Xia Wanwan would not miss it.

In order to avoid suspicion, they temporarily put the tent into the cave and placed it in the space. The villagers thought she had taken it to another world for storage.

After the people from other villages leave and rest at night, they move out again, and the cycle continues.

a week later.

Thanks to the efforts of villagers from several villages, all the mushrooms on the mountain were picked up, and the fish in the river were temporarily caught in much smaller quantities.

But these are things that can regenerate. If the mushrooms are gone, they will reappear the next day after the next rain. If there are fewer fish, after a period of rest, fish from other areas will swim here.

Xia Wanwan looked at the supplies in the space and knew that these were just a drop in the bucket for the frontier soldiers and the people in the north.

Still, it's better than nothing.

"The mushroom picking and fishing are now complete. Tomorrow we will set out to cross the mountain and build a house on the other side. During this time, I will go to the fairyland to get the materials for building the house."

After seeing that everyone had finished dinner, Xia Wanwan stood up and announced loudly.

"Finally, a new house is going to be built. I'm really looking forward to it."

They were sad and upset during this period. Everyone was under pressure and had to pick mushrooms and catch fish day and night, which made them very tired.

Thinking about the suffering of our compatriots in the north and the suffering of the soldiers protecting the country, no one can still smile.

Now, after hearing that a new house was going to be built, everyone gradually showed long-lost smiles on their faces.

A few days ago, Xia Wanwan went home and stored all the supplies her parents had bought into her space. Her original plan was to build a brick and cement house, so the materials she had purchased were all steel, cement, and bricks. Now that she urgently needed to get back to the north, she had no choice but to ask her parents to buy new supplies and use the old construction site to temporarily build a simple house.

Anyway, as long as it can shelter us from the wind and rain, it’s much better than the thatched hut we had before.

The next day.

Xia Wanwan took out a huge hot air balloon and led the villagers across the mountain in batches to the other side of the mountain.

"This plain is so great! Although it's hotter than in the mountains, it's endless here, and it's much more convenient to farm."

When the villagers saw the endless plain from the hot air balloon, their hearts began to surge with excitement.

After arriving at the overgrown plain, although the grass was taller than a person and there was no place to stand, they still had hands and feet.

When there was no land to build houses, they pulled out weeds to clear the ground, and if they couldn't pull out anything, they dug it out with hoes.

Without land to grow crops, they cleared the wasteland and dug fields.

In short, nothing can defeat hardworking people.

"Villagers, open up wasteland, dig fields, and build homesteads. Everyone, work hard with me."

"Open up the wasteland and dig the fields."

"Open up the wasteland and dig the fields."

"United strength, a bright future belongs to us."

The enthusiasm of the villagers motivated everyone to work together.

Because they didn't buy a lawn mower and the system mall didn't have one, Xia Wanwan had to lead everyone to a place three kilometers outside the county town and then use sickles and hoes to open up the wasteland.

After some guidance, she had to leave first because she was going to China.

"System! You said I can travel back and forth between the two worlds? Can I bring others with me?"

Before leaving, Xia Wanwan looked at the three children who were helping to open up the land and wanted to take them to meet their parents.

Even if you don’t have time to take them to the playground, you can ask your parents to take them out and have a good time for two days.

The main thing is that she won't be back for about two or three days this time, so we might as well take this opportunity to take them there.

"I don't know either, but you can try. Logically speaking, they are your closest relatives, so the problems in the past shouldn't be too big."

She is a semi-finished system and doesn't know much about some things. She needs to accumulate experience bit by bit to obtain enough information.
