The Tian family rushed before dark, finished eating, boiled hot water, washed and slept.

Xia Zhi just possessed Xiao Xia Zhi will experience that the feeling of sleeping is not obvious, at that time her body was not fully recovered, in addition to being a child, easy to get tired, almost all day spent in a deep sleep.

But now I am not used to it, the day in April, about seven o'clock is completely dark, even if the summer solstice is not a night owl in modern times, there is a good time to rest, but that is at least at ten o'clock to start resting.

Lying in bed at six o'clock, the summer solstice always tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. But there is no way to sleep without sleeping, the poor at home don't even have lamp oil, and besides, in this ancient world, what can you do, run out of the middle of the night and others may think of you as a thief.

Looking at the sweet Tian Bamei who was already sleeping next to her, Xia Zhi was envious, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart,

"Hey...... let's go to bed, we have to get up early tomorrow!" Then he closed his eyes and cultivated sleepiness, and he didn't know when he fell asleep.

The next day, when it was faintly bright, Wang got up and cooked breakfast, and then called everyone to get up.

Because the Tian family has no livestock, when they are not busy, only a few daughters-in-law take turns to get up every morning to cook breakfast, and when the meal is cooked, they call the big guy to get up and eat, and today is the Wang family's shift.

The Tian family got up, washed up, and ate in the hall.

Xia Zhi looked at the porridge in the bowl, and couldn't help frowning, in fact, it was porridge, it was better to say vegetable soup, there were not a few grains of rice, and even the oil and salt were very less, which made Xia Zhi difficult to swallow.

In fact, when Xia Zhi was sick in the past, the family took care of her, and the whole city was close to her, even eating porridge, and the Li family also fished thick for her, which brought more rice. So even though she knew that the Tian family was in difficulty, she didn't expect that the Tian family had reached the point where there was no surplus food.

Seeing the sweetness of everyone's eating, Xia Zhi had to eat hard, and there was no way to be hungry without eating. Only when you are full can you want to solve the current situation of the Tian family.

After dinner, the Tian family was busy going to the field, yesterday Uncle Tian they went to the field to see, after a winter, the floor is very, to loosen the soil, the Tian family has no cattle, so people have to go up.

And Tian Lichun, Tian Yushui, Tian Chunfen, Tian Guyu, Tian Lixia, and Tian Xiaoman each carried a small bamboo basket, ready to go out to dig wild vegetables, it is not easy for farmers, in this season, there is not much left in winter grain, this wild vegetable is their food.

Originally, the Li family didn't plan to let Xia Zhi follow, after all, she had just recovered from a serious illness, and it was best to rest at home, but she couldn't bear Xia Zhi's pleading, so she had to answer her. When leaving, Li also asked Tian Lichun to take good care of the summer solstice from time to time.

Xia Zhi had already figured it out, and when he went to town yesterday, he only glanced at Tianjia Village in a hurry, and he didn't look carefully.

The south of Tianjia Village is almost all paddy fields, and there is a river in front of and behind the village; The difficult side is a ten-mile mountain, and the village name saw that this mountain was more than ten miles, so he gave him an easy-to-understand name, called Shili Mountain. At this time, on the summer solstice, they went to the foot of Shili Mountain.

Xia Zhi learned that the Tian family had five acres of paddy fields, all of which were in the south of the village, and there was no dry land here, only paddy fields, and only one season of rice was planted a year. An acre produces about two to three stones, and one stone is about a hundred catties, and half of the output has to be taken out to pay taxes.

The climate here is estimated to be a bit like that of northern China, because the winter is too long, and only one season of grain can be grown.

"It's strange why no one goes up to the mountains to hunt, so I can fill the house, this season is the time when animals are infested" The summer solstice saw the mountains, but I didn't see the hunters, and I couldn't help but wonder in my heart.

"You forget, last year someone went up to the mountains to hunt and never came back, and since then, as long as the family is really poor and can't open a pot, no one goes hunting"

"Ah......, oh!" But it turned out that Xia Zhi was concentrating on the question, and couldn't help but say the question in his heart, and Tian Lichun next to him saw her asking, so he answered.

"Sister, didn't all the people who went in hunt come back?" Xia Zhi couldn't help but ask.

Tian Lichun poked Xia Zhi's head with his hand, and responded: "What do you think, every household in the village has farmland, what else do you need to hunt, and it's not that you can't eat enough, but everyone, just take one or two people to run into the mountains in total." ”

"Isn't that our family hungry!" Xia Zhi listened to Lichun's reply and couldn't help muttering.

"Sixth sister's collision, isn't there a problem, I don't know what to do!" Tian Yushui, the second granddaughter of the Tian family, who was walking next to her, couldn't help but ask.

"No problem, no problem, I just don't remember much about the past" Xia Zhi saw that Tian Yushui said that she had a problem, and hurriedly responded, for fear that the Tian family sisters would drive her back, but she finally came out.

When a group of people arrived at the foot of the mountain, it was still early, and there was no one, so a few people split up and made an appointment to meet at the place where they first arrived. Tian Lichun took Xia Zhi and Tian Xiaoman to the west, and the rest of the people went east.

Xia Zhi looked at the Shili Mountain in front of her, and couldn't help but think of the scene when she went up the mountain with her grandmother before, but unfortunately after her grandmother died, she didn't go up the mountain anymore, and now it can be regarded as making up for it and regretting it.

When the three of them found a place where wild vegetables were abundant, they all squatted down and dug up wild vegetables. It is impossible for Xia Zhi to have wild vegetables everywhere in the future generations, some of them are artificially cultivated, not to mention that even if there are, no one has time to dig them. Now that I have traveled to Dawu, I have experienced it again.

However, how to solve the situation of the Tian family now, Gu Xia Zhi knows, the Tian family has been doing things for several uncles and fathers in recent years, and they owe less money, coupled with the marriage of Tian Xiaogu and the successive birth of children in the family, it is even worse.

Now that she has a difficult birth, Xiao Xia Zhi broke her head, spent money everywhere, and the debts she just paid off were on her back. Although it was borrowed by the mother's family of a few aunts, it can't be delayed for too long, after all, it's not easy for people. The Tian family has no input except for the production of the fields, and they can only buy grain when they repay the money, and they have to go hungry if they sell the grain.

Thinking of being hungry, Xia Solstice is anxious like an ant on a hot pot, desperate to make money, but to make money, you have to find a way, the key is to sell for money. And the hurried summer solstice suddenly brightened up, and the ovate-shaped triangular plant in front of him was not a yam. This yam is a good thing, you can sell it to pharmacies, and you can eat it at home. Thinking of this, Xia Solstice shouted excitedly as if he had found a baby:

"Eldest sister, seventh sister, come on, come on, there are good things here!"

said that Tian Lichun and Tian Xiaoman heard her shout and hurriedly ran towards her, Tian Xiaoman also asked excitedly: "What is it, can you eat it?" ”

Xia Zhi didn't answer her, and directly pulled her to the yam, pointed to the yam and said, "That's it!" That's it! ”

Tian Xiaoman and Tian Lichun were disappointed when they saw each other, Tian Xiaoman pursed his lips and muttered: "What did I think was the matter, just this wild mountain vine, the people in the village picked and fed the pigs, Seventh Sister, you still treat her as a treasure!" ”

Xia Zhi saw her pouting and muttering, knowing what she was thinking, so he said: "What do you know, this wild mountain vine is used to feed pigs, but it grows well underground, he can not only use medicine, but also eat it, when the time comes, we will dig it up and sell it to the pharmacy, and we will have the money to pay off the debt." ”

Hearing Xia Zhi say this, Tian Lichun and Tian Xiaoman couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Really! Can it really be sold!? Can you really make money!?"

The two looked at Lixia with blank eyes, afraid that she would say nothing, but of course Xia Zhi did not disappoint them and nodded.

"Wow......" Tian Xiaoman saw Xia Zhi nodding and jumped up happily, while Tian Lichun was smiling even though he didn't jump up.

"Don't jump, hurry up and dig these home" Xia Zhi saw that the two of them were happy, and hurriedly stopped Tian Xiaoman, who was going to continue jumping.

"Yes, yes, dig quickly, don't let others dig it!"

Although the three of them are all veterans of digging wild vegetables, the yam is not a wild vegetable after all, it grows underground, and the tools they brought on the summer solstice are all small shovels, and Tian Lichun is even more bamboo. Tian Xia Zhi saw that the two of them were full of energy, so he had to persuade:

"Come over in the afternoon, it's noon, it's time for grandma to call for dinner, a few sisters should be in a hurry, they won't be able to dig up for a while." This yam is estimated to be a few years old, and the roots are everywhere.

When the two saw her talking, they looked down at the yam vines in this piece, and had to admit that they were afraid that they would not be able to finish digging in the morning, so they had to nod their heads and say yes.

It's just that although the three of them didn't dig much, the basket couldn't fit it, so one of them had to hold a bundle of yams and walk back step by step. When they got together with other people who didn't know, several sisters asked them what they were doing with a lump, and Xia Zhi didn't explain, so they said they would go home and talk about it.
