Chapter 76 Dividing Food and Digging Sweet Potatoes
As for Lin Qingxue, she has no time to take care of these little things. As soon as she has some free time, the children have to get busy.
Li Yanniang, her three sisters-in-law and Fang Xiaomei were preparing dinner for everyone. Mrs. Lin and Old Man Lin were sitting on the bedding next to them to rest, and from time to time they looked up at Lin Xiaoshan and his brothers who were practicing sword-fighting seriously.
As for the Liu family, Lin Qingxue had just given them five kilograms of cotton and half a piece of pure cotton cloth, so that they could have nothing to do and make clothes for Liu Ziwen and the unborn baby of Liu Er's wife.
It is already the end of October. Although the autumn heat is still very hot, it is still a bit cool in the second half of the night. The closer to the imperial city, the more obvious the temperature change.
With someone watching the children practice sword skills, Lin Qingxue felt much more relaxed. She simply lay on the quilt, closed her eyes and rested, thinking about what to do after arriving at the imperial city.
Lin Qingchu's side was very lively. He and Lin Qingming quickly counted the food and even took out paper and charcoal to write it down.
Then, Lin Qingchu calculated the 20% of grain that would be distributed to Old Man Lin's family, and asked Lin Qingming and his brothers to move their grain away first.
When he heard that grain was going to be moved, Uncle Lin, who refused to admit his old age, also went there. Old Man Lin and Mrs. Lin also supported each other and went over there to watch the fun.
It can be seen that even the great-grandchildren in the family are not as important as food.
As the four brothers Lin Qingming and the two brothers of the Liu family ran back and forth, they finally brought back the food that had been allocated to them.
This time when the grain was distributed, Old Man Lin's family received more than 2,000 kilograms. Although this number seems large, other families also received 300 to 400 kilograms. Everyone was very satisfied, and the grain they received was enough for them to eat until they reached the imperial city.
"Mother Qingming, Mother Xiaoshan, please pack our luggage and put the food in the carriage. Old man, we two will sit in the carriage to guard the food, and let Qingming's parents sit in the other carriage to guard the food."
Mrs. Lin touched the bag of grain her family had been allocated, her face full of wrinkles from smiling, and the others were also grinning from ear to ear.
"Okay, old woman, you are right. We have to protect so much food," Old Man Lin said as a matter of course, and the others nodded in agreement.
After the grain from Old Man Lin's family was moved away, it was the turn of the villagers to divide the grain. Lin knew that the grain was distributed according to the number of people in each family. The more people there were, the more they got, and the fewer people there were, the less they got. The remaining grain was divided equally among almost all the poorest families in the village.
After the food was distributed, each family carried their allocated food back to their own base and started to eat dinner.
After dinner, everyone started packing their luggage in tacit understanding so that they could put the food they were given into their cars.
Ever since the Mingyueguan horse bandit incident, every household in the village has had a car, so they no longer have to worry about not being able to transport food.
To be safe, Lin Qingxue collected some food and put it in the space, and then took out some water.
After resting for a while, everyone lay down to rest. At midnight, Lin Qingxue asked the Lin family to cover her, and she pulled Lin Qingran and Lin Qingmin, the two brothers, into the space to work.
The weather is getting cold, and it's time to prepare winter clothes. It's also time to harvest the sweet potatoes and rice planted in the space. Some vegetables can also be harvested, and then a new batch can be planted, especially cotton.
Lin Qingxue would buy seeds every time she arrived in a city, so she had collected a lot of seeds. Cotton was hard to buy, so she had the idea of growing it herself. Anyway, anything can be grown in the space.
As soon as the three siblings entered the space, they saw Lin Qingxue smiling and saying, "Third brother, little brother, go get to work! Dig up the sweet potatoes first, I'll go pick some vegetables over there."
"Okay, go ahead! Don't tire yourself out," Lin Qingran nodded, went to get a hoe, and pulled Lin Qingmin to work.
Although the two brothers appear calm on the surface, they are actually very envious of Lin Qingming and Lin Qingbai who will be on duty tonight.
The three of them worked hard, and four hours passed in the blink of an eye. The three of them were bent over so hard that their backs didn't feel like they belonged to them.
"Go out and have a rest! That's enough for today," Lin Qingran said tiredly. If he continued, it would be fatal.
"Yes! Sister, I'm so tired," Lin Qingmin said with a bitter face. Although he was a scholar, he often worked in the fields at home.
"Okay! I can't go on either," Lin Qingxue nodded. She was also holding on. Since the three of them were so tired, they naturally had to go out.
Lin Qingxue went out first, and then released Lin Qingran and Lin Qingmin from the space. The three siblings quietly returned and lay down to rest.
Old man Lin, who had been keeping watch for them, fell asleep peacefully after seeing his three grandchildren return.
After dawn, aunts and sisters-in-law from each household got up to prepare breakfast for the family. They were about to set off today, so everyone had to prepare some dry food to eat on the road.
When Lin Qingxue woke up, the Lin family had already started eating. She went to wash up before sitting down to eat. Breakfast was sweet potato porridge and two roasted sweet potatoes for each person.
The food was distributed just yesterday, so the aunts and sisters-in-law who are responsible for cooking in each family are naturally willing to share it. How can they have the energy to work if they are not full?
After breakfast and a short rest, everyone packed their luggage and put it on the donkey cart. About a quarter of an hour later, the main group set off.
Lin Qingxue worked last night and her back still ached, so she didn't want to ride a horse. She gave the horse to Lin Xiaotao, and she sat in the carriage with Lin Qingyue and her two daughters in the middle.
As they talked and laughed, the large group moved further and further away. Just when Lin Qingxue wanted to get some water to drink, she heard the sound of horse hooves beside her.
Lin Qingxue turned her head and saw the man she had met once before. He was the man who had been sitting on the horse without moving when they were robbed by bandits and rescued by the leader and his group. There was blood coming out of the corner of his mouth, and he was injured somewhere on his body. The ground where he rode his horse was covered in blood.
The man held the reins tightly, waving the whip continuously on the horse's buttocks, looking ahead with sharp and determined eyes.
Behind him were a dozen men in black wearing black masks and riding horses. They were holding weapons in their hands, and the weapons were still dripping with blood. It was obvious that they had just experienced a big battle.
They were only a hundred meters away from catching up. Lin Qingxue's face changed drastically, and she immediately shouted forward, "Someone's driving! Everyone, stop quickly! Gather the women, children, and the elderly in the middle. Patrol team, be on alert..."
Lin Qingxue repeated it three times. Seeing that the group of people were about to arrive, she drew her sword from her luggage, pushed her two daughters from Lin Qingyue's arms, and jumped off the donkey cart, ready to meet the group of people in black at any time.
