Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Alcohol wiping has a significant cooling effect on the body.

Hu Zi's mother's temperature gradually dropped and remained at a low fever state. This was also good news. At least it wouldn't damage her brain.

Garlic water is applied to the edge of the wound to assist in disinfection and inflammation. Whether she can survive depends only on her own immunity and desire to survive.

Perhaps it was God's blessing that at daybreak, Hu Zi's mother's fever gradually subsided, and the most dangerous stage was over. Xiao Yunxi fell asleep peacefully this time.

When I woke up, I heard a quarrel in the yard.

"We really can't accept this thing. If we accept it, Yun Xi will blame us."

"Brothers, sit down and have some tea. Let's talk after Yunxi wakes up."

"No, no, no, I have something to do at home."

in the yard,

Aunt Li and Aunt Zhou were arguing with some people. They were all strangers. They were about the same age as the village chief, in their prime, but terribly thin.

What is even more worrying is that they are either missing arms or legs, and even those who are relatively healthy have their eyes covered with cloth.

When Aunt Li and Aunt Zhou pulled them, they didn't dare to use force. From their conversation, Xiao Yunxi learned that they were all military households in Lujia Village, former comrades of Huzi's father.

Because of serious injuries, they were sent back. They escaped the war and saved their lives, but they were left with disabilities.

They had come here to express their gratitude after learning that Hu Zi's mother had been saved by Xiao Yunxi. In the baskets on the ground were vegetables and eggs, and some were carrying pheasants and rabbits.

Thinking of her former comrades, Xiao Yunxi's nose felt sore.

"Dear uncles, I can't accept your things..."

She knew how miserable the lives of the military households in Lujiazhuang were. All the land distributed by the imperial court had been occupied. Lujiazhuang was xenophobic and the village chief was unwilling to help them.

The places where the military households and the people with the surname Lu lived were clearly separated and had no intersection with each other.

The fields were occupied, and the military households' riots were suppressed by the government, and eventually nothing was done. Their lives are now very difficult, so how could Xiao Yunxi bear to take their things?

The unique stubbornness of soldiers made them insist on leaving their things behind and insist on leaving. Their stubbornness was heartbreaking.

She asked Hu Zi:

"My uncles have fought in the battlefield before, so how could they be bullied like this by the people of Lujia Village?"

Hu Zi gritted his teeth, his eyes full of hatred:

"The government said if we continued to cause trouble, they would arrest our entire family as traitors. The women were sold to brothels, and the men were sent to the mines! Furthermore, they wouldn't allow us to leave Lujiazhuang to find work. The village chief aided and abetted them, keeping us under surveillance."

Family is always the weak spot.

They are fearless in the face of the enemy, but compromise with the damn reality. They stand upright to defend their homes, but have to bend down to help each other and their families.

Many times, foreign enemies are not scary.

We can resist the invasions of the barbarians in the north, the Japanese pirates in the east, and the monkeys in the south, and we can become heroes and martyrs.

What is truly terrifying is the abuse of power, the corruption of the imperial court, the oppression and infringement of you, you cannot complain or fight back, otherwise you will shake the foundation of the imperial court, hinder the stability of Daxia, and you will become a criminal.

It’s hard to imagine what would have happened to Hu Zi if he hadn’t met her.

Die in numbness, or explode under oppression. Even if suppressed, there are still thousands of tigers in the world.

It is not the people’s fault to take up arms. Who wants to live with their head hanging on their belt?

Uncle Tang Er came with his men and brought Xiao Yunxi back to her senses.

"The people I brought to you are all good at farming. See if they can do it."

Xiao Yunxi was preparing to open up wasteland and asked Uncle Tang, who was the best at farming, to help find someone. Unexpectedly, he was so efficient and found someone so quickly.

His eyes quickly scanned their faces and hands.

The most intuitive way to judge whether a person is a farmer and whether he can work is to observe his skin and hands.

Those who do farm work all year round have dark skin and calluses on their knuckles, so they are completely capable of being used to open up wasteland.

"All five of you will stay and clear the wasteland within three days. You will be paid 10 coins per day and given one lunch with meat. If you can finish ahead of schedule, you will receive a separate reward."

"The wasteland needs to be cultivated and taken care of. I will hire two long-term workers. The monthly salary is 500 coins, and food and accommodation are provided. Whoever does the best job can stay."

The farmers were so excited that their breathing became heavy.

The monthly salary is 500 wen, and food and accommodation are provided. Where can you find such a good thing?

As for the fields at home,

During the busy farming season, people are hired to work as long-term laborers, and the profit is the difference in price.

"Boss, don't worry, we will do our best."

"Yes, yes, we promise to do it well for you."

Bring them to the field,

The wasteland that Xiao Yunxi bought had a very good terrain. In front was a residential plot, and behind it was a small C-shaped hill with fields in the middle, which looked a bit like a basin.

The wasteland is flat, but covered with shrubs and many large and small trees. The largest one is so thick that a man can hug it and is stuck in the middle. It is easy to cut down the tree, but the trouble is the roots.

It is impossible to farm without digging out the tree roots. Faced with such a complicated task, the farmers were very calm.

It’s time to chop down trees and mow the grass, but it’s impossible to finish it within 3 days, and don’t even think about any extra rewards.

Uncle Tang brought over the borrowed hoe, sickle and axe. The farmers took the tools and went to the fields to start cutting the bushes. A burly man picked up an axe and started to chop down the tree.

Xiao Yunxi's forehead was full of black lines. Is it okay for you to be so reckless?

The five acres of land were covered with dense shrubs and large trees. If she really had to do it manually, it would take more than a week to finish, and she couldn't wait that long.

"Everyone, stop it. This is not how we work. Doing it this way is reckless!"

The burly man scratched his head:

"Isn't land reclamation just about cutting back the brush, clearing the tree roots, turning the ground over, and picking out the rocks?"

“That’s right…”

After Xiao Yunxi finished speaking, the man turned around, swung the axe and was about to chop down the tree. Looking at his arms, he was quite strong.

"Stop, stop, stop! Just listen to me!"

The burly man works diligently, but he is a bit reckless.

"Let's clean it up directly. It's too slow. Let's burn it first."

Everyone thought Xiao Yunxi had come up with some good idea, but this is it?

The bushes were burned, the trees were charred, and they fell down without being cut down. However, the people in the mountains did not dare to burn the wasteland casually, as it would cause a forest fire and the whole village would suffer.

Xiao Yunxi was not panicked at all.

She had surveyed the terrain and found that the wasteland in front was a residential plot, which had been cleared. The trees on both sides had been cut down by the villagers for firewood, and the weeds and shrubs were very sparse.

As long as they clear the bushes at the foot of the hill to form a buffer zone, it will be absolutely safe.

Uncle Tang Er walked around and thought it was okay, so he started working. The farmers didn't object. Since they could burn the wasteland, they could work faster.

The only bad thing is,

Is it a loss or a profit to reduce 10 days' work to 3 days?
