Time passed slowly, and people here died and fled, until two years later, life here improved, and there were many outsiders who took root in this place and added some popularity.

Many of the houses were empty, and people moved in casually, because they knew that it would be impossible for the original people to leave their homeland unless they could not survive.

Ye Cheng is not in a hurry to contact the people of the Ye family, he wants to live on his own for a while, and their Ye family now has their own affairs to deal with.

Ye Cheng told them that resisting foreign invaders was something they had to do, whether it was going to the battlefield in person or supporting supplies, as long as they could do it, they would try their best to do it, if "everyone" was gone, not to mention the prosperity of the family.

Spring solstice, the spring equinox, all things recover.

Wang Huiying has just put on a new padded jacket, which her father made for her.

"Daddy. Wang Huiying shouted happily, ran to the yard, jumped east and west, and then opened a pair of big watery eyes, looked at Ye Cheng, and asked: "Daddy, I look good in this dress, go to the field in a while, do you say that others are envious?"

Ye Cheng glanced at it lightly and said, "I've told you many times, I'm not your father, you're just the child I snatched." ”

Wang Huiying was also used to it, and said: "I'm happy, can you just see if this padded jacket looks good?"

Ye Cheng nodded, and didn't say whether it was good-looking or not-looking, and asked, "How old are you this year?"

Wang Huiying thought for a while and said, "Eight years old." ”

Ye Cheng never asked her age, but today he suddenly remembered it and mentioned it.

Ye Cheng looked at her thin body and her tall head, thinking that she had followed him to eat tree bark in the past two years, and if she didn't get something good, this girl might not grow tall.

Since ancient times, the children of the poor have been in charge of the family at an early age, and many of the children here are precocious, sensible and capable.

"Let's go to work in the fields today, let's come back early, and then you look after the house, I'll go to the mountains and get some meat." ”

Wang Huiying nodded obediently, followed behind Ye Cheng's buttocks, and came to the field.

Ye Cheng's other arm has grown, which was written in Wang Huiying's diary when she was fifteen years old, Ye Cheng is very magical, the broken arm grew little by little like that, she thought everyone was like this, until she read books later and learned this bit of knowledge, she knew that Ye Cheng was not a simple person.

The field was barren earlier, but Ye Cheng chose a piece of land, cultivated it, stored water for irrigation, and constantly fertilized and buried grass, which raised this land.

This year he got some seeds from somewhere else, and if nothing else, the autumn harvest would give them a good year.

"Brother Ye is here. ”

"This little girl is smart again, just eat delicious food!"

This piece of land, Ye Cheng just chose two acres and three points of land, he can't be greedy, other people also have to live, and everyone consciously encloses the land.

In the past, when there was a famine, people were not as polite as they are now, and everyone carefully guarded the little food at home.

Ye Cheng had seen too much, and he had long been accustomed to it, so he smiled and nodded.

In this village, everyone knows that Ye Cheng is a taciturn person.

"Uncle, my father said that your family's land will definitely not have a good harvest in the autumn, and you have not raised the land for two years, and the grain will grow very small in the future. Wang Huiying said seriously to the people who were talking to them, this is what Ye Cheng said when he came to the field that day and told Wang Huiying.

"I know, but where do I have your daddy's carefulness, I can't eat in the autumn, so I'll take you away and eat you!"

Ye Cheng just put down the farm tools, and when he heard this, his eyes suddenly became extremely cold, staring at that person.

When Wang Huiying heard that she was going to eat herself, she trembled, and a pair of small hands tightly grabbed Ye Cheng's cotton pants and slowly hid behind her.

"Brother Hui, everyone came from the famine in the past two years, my daughter was almost eaten at that time, so let's make less jokes like this in the future. Ye Cheng said coldly.

The person known as Brother Hui immediately slapped his mouth hard, and said apologetically: "I said it wrong, little girl, don't be afraid, Uncle is joking." ”

Despite the apology, Wang Huiying was still very scared, she recorded in her diary that as soon as she heard or saw the word cannibalism, her body began to tremble, and her mind was always the big iron pot, and the picture of herself being ruthlessly sold by her parents.

Wang Huiying was really angry, and she didn't pay attention to him, and took out farm tools to help Ye Cheng work.

The scene was embarrassing for a while, Ye Cheng carried a hoe to loosen the soil, and when he reached the middle of this ridge, he was in a flush position with that Brother Hui.

This Brother Hui ran over, handed a piece of dry flatbread to Ye Cheng, and said, "Brother, you keep it for hungry food, what you just said is really unintentional, don't mind." ”

Ye Cheng glanced at the big cake, there was even some dust on it, and said: "Every family here is not having a good time now, just point to this piece of land to produce something, no one will have a good time before the autumn harvest, you don't have to give me this cake, don't make these jokes after that." ”

Brother Hui was still very guilty, and said: "I just love to joke, and my mouth is cheap, and when the field is harvested, I will wrap a big meat bun for your daughter." ”

Ye Cheng nodded, he knew that the people here now, whether they were originally living or those who migrated later, were extremely kind and worked hard to have a good relationship with the surrounding villagers.

After all, every family is having a hard time now, and if you have one more friend, you will have someone who can help you in the future.

Brother Hui looked around, the other people here were busy farming, Wang Huiying was also turning the soil in the distance, and said to Ye Cheng in a low voice: "Are this girl's biological parents still in the village?"

Ye Cheng glared angrily and squinted at him, this Brother Hui was suddenly so frightened that he pulled his mouth and said, "My rotten mouth!

After speaking, Brother Hui picked up the hoe and continued to work, without saying a word, each hoe smashed hard to the ground.

Ye Cheng stared at him for a while before continuing to loosen the soil.

Ye Cheng remembered that last year, the family that was originally going to eat Wang Huiying left the village after saying goodbye to Ye Cheng's family.

And Wang Huiying's biological parents, Ye Cheng, according to their neighbors, hanged themselves in a wild forest like a demon, after all, their son died, and their daughter was exchanged by them, and I don't know if they were eaten.

Ye Cheng turned his head and looked at Wang Huiying, staring blankly for a long time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Don't move the soil," Ye Cheng said, "The new clothes will be dirty for a while, go play for a while, and put the seeds in a row later." ”

"Brother, where did you buy the seeds?" asked one of them.

Ye Cheng is very popular in this village, he is down-to-earth, he talks little, and he never refuses when he wants to help, although he feels a little strange in his temper, but many people are willing to make friends with him.

"Seeds so soon?" asked someone else, frowning.
