The officials of the Tianyou Dynasty are talking about the imperial examination system, not to mention that the children of famous families like the Xia family have been sitting in the study since they were young, they are from a poor family, and they are also "two ears do not hear things outside the window, and only read the sage books with one heart".

In this way, who will be an official or a Beijing official who will farm? It would be strange if they could just learn to farm and get a good harvest, how many of them couldn't even tell the difference between vegetables and weeds in the field at first?

It's not that the officials didn't suspect it, saying that the land allocated to them in Changlong County was not good, and they deliberately wanted to starve them to death, but Master Yuan and some of their local people went to see it and proved that these lands were very fertile, and they could grow as long as they sowed seeds without fertilization.

Fertilize...... As soon as he said this, all the prisoners in Xixi were empty-hearted, none of them fertilized the fields, what was the fertilizer...... It's insulting to say it!

So the people near Xixi can pick it up, and you have to spend money to buy fertilizer elsewhere, but as long as you take it away, people are still grateful to you, and it is said that there are people who give you money to dig it at the beginning.

When Xia Lily came to Xixi, the land of each family had already been planted, and she heard that the men of each family went to the field every day to be busy, and thought that everyone could really rely on farming to eat, but when she went back to the field to see it, she quickly lost hope.

"This is the Chinese cabbage planted by Daddy, how is it different from what Grandpa Yuan planted?" You see, after the "harvest", especially when you put it together with other families, even the five-year-old girl can see the difference.

Xiahou father and son are very embarrassed, the cabbage planted by others is big and huddled, the leaves are dense layer by layer, a tree has five or six catties, and the family can eat several meals, and the ones they planted are thin and loose leaves, one and one or two catties is good, can you rely on it to eat until next year?

You and Huang couldn't help but be disappointed, they all had Zhuangzi in their dowry, and the vegetables and fruits sent to them by someone from Zhuangzi before the Chinese New Year could be piled up into a small mountain, so they had been hoping that the current field could also make them not worry about the New Year, and the result was ......

Xia Shiming held an ear of bud rice in his hand, lowered his head and repeatedly counted the buds on it, which was actually very easy to count, because there were too few.

"The ground is about to die, but we can't be disgusted, didn't the three girls say that there are still a lot of medicinal materials in the mountains? While there is no heavy snow, the eldest and second brother also go up the mountain with your sister to collect medicine. As soon as Xiahou saw his "harvest", he understood that these things could not be sold, and if he wanted his family to be fed and clothed, he had to rely on going up the mountain to collect medicine.

"I want to go into the city and look at the pharmacies to see what they don't have, and if there are in the mountains, I can sell them for more money." Xia Lily took the opportunity to say.

Xiahou still hesitated: "Let your second brother ask ......" Let his daughter go up the mountain to collect medicine, he will not be at ease.

"Dad, when Master Yuan came over yesterday, he said that tomorrow the female dependents of their village will go to visit the county seat, isn't it cold, they want to buy clothes and buy needle money, I see that the needle money of many of our Xixi is not enough, otherwise we will talk to Master Yuan, spend some money to use the carriage of their village, and pull our female dependents in Xixi to the county seat?"

She and Xia Zhong talked about the two of them going to the county seat Xiahou was not at ease, even if they added another Xia Boxi, Xiahou didn't think they could protect their sister, so Xia Lily decided to pull a large group of people.

Xia Lihe's words made You and Huang listen to them are moved, they are educated according to the standards of everyone's ladies, and they don't go out of the door on weekdays, but healthy people who don't think about it quietly want to see how lively it is outside, and besides, they don't have much needlework to do, but there is still a lot of needlework to do years ago.

"I want to buy a needle and thread...... Then it's okay for you to discuss it and go together......" Xiahou finally agreed, otherwise he felt that he would be resented by all the women in Xixi!

"Then second brother, you go to Master Yuan's house and ask how much it costs to send us into the city, and my sister-in-law and second sister-in-law will go with me to ask who in Xixi wants to go with us." Xia Lily arranged.

Xia Zhongtan is happy to run errands, at least this can prove that he can still work, and Xixi has a good relationship with the Xia family's aunt and sister-in-law, and when he heard them say that they would go to the county seat to buy needlework together, he also happily agreed to go.

"Everyone will naturally pay for it, how can you let your family pay for it." Qu Baozhen also wanted to go, but when she heard You Shi say that the car money was all paid by the Xia family, she didn't agree.

Not only Qu Baozhen, Qiao's and Ye family's sister-in-law and several other hostesses, also said that they were willing to go together, but their own fares were paid, although these people were down, but they were very self-respecting, in the past, the Xia family gave them rice noodles and the like, they would do some embroidery work as a gift in return, to show that they were not willing to take advantage of it in vain, the Xia family really insisted, but looked down on them.

Fortunately, Master Yuan's village specially drove a car and got a little close to Master Yuan, and when he talked with Xia Zhong about the car money, he was very talkative, saying that as long as he was thirty yuan, he could take care of a meal in the city at noon.

This time to go back to the county, Xia Lily must go, Xia Boxi will not go, You and Huang can't both go, because there are still children to take care of at home, the two concubines are humble to each other, and finally Huang stays, because Xiaoshi needs to be breastfed, and he will cry after leaving Huang.

Such a young child, how pitiful he is to leave his mother's side! Huang was worried when he thought of Xia Lily's proposal, but he had to choose between reluctance and saving the child's life...... Will she have a choice?

The female relatives of other people's families didn't think so much, being able to go to the city was a rare good day in their miserable life, and they also discussed with their families, not to take the children, but to go first, and the children were taken care of by the men first.

"Third Aunt ......" heard that she didn't have children, so Yaya begged Xia Lily.

Xia Baihe went back to the county this time, mainly planning to find another way for the children of the Xia family, to be honest, Xia Zhongtan felt in the way when she followed her, let alone bring Yaya.

"Yaya, we don't know if the county is safe yet, my aunt and your mother will go to see it first, if you can take the child to play, I will take you and your eldest brother next time." Xia Lily touched the little girl's head to comfort her, and sighed in her heart, if one day you have to go on the road of escape, have no fixed place, sleep in the open air, and be in a hurry, you will feel happy to stay at home.

This time when they went back to the county seat, Qiao and Xiao Mai were going to go together, and their father and mother lived in a neighboring village, so the couple simply brought their children to the Xia family and asked the Huang family to help take care of them.

Although Yaya was unhappy that she couldn't go to the county seat, but other people's children didn't go this time, and she had nothing to be wronged about.
