The moon is bright, the wind is light, lying on the side of the bed, listening to the story of the past told by the father......

Yang Ruoqing and Da'an sisters and brothers, their two pairs of ears were erected high, and they listened with relish.

It wasn't until Yang Huazhong finished speaking that the two sisters and brothers came back to their senses.

Over there, the Sun family and the old Sun Tou were also listening quietly, and the people in the house were all immersed in this entanglement of the old Yang family ancestor!

"Dad, I still want to ask." Yang Ruoqing cleared her throat and moved a little closer.

"My grandfather was born in the family of a small landlord, and there are forty or fifty acres of land, and there are long-term and short-term workers in the family. Why did you get mixed up with this family background? ”

"Huh?" Yang Huazhong didn't expect Yang Ruoqing to ask this, and was stunned for a moment.

"After your father was born, he just caught up with the famine, and there was no harvest in the fields for three consecutive years."

Yang Huazhong stuffed the last piece of egg cake in his hand into his mouth, and continued: "At that time, many people starved to death in ten miles and eight villages, although our old Yang family has a little food, it can't stand it for so long!" ”

"All the long-term and short-term workers in the family have been dismissed, and your great-grandfather has begun to sell his land."

"There have been years of famine in this area, and the land is difficult to sell, and your great-grandfather has starved to death."

"Later, I finally waited for the relief food from the imperial court to get through this catastrophe."

"Your great-grandmother, a widow, dragged your grandfather to grow up, and when she couldn't do the work in the fields, she sold the fields or rented them to others. Family road, just like this, day by day is not as good as day by day! ”

So that's what happened!

Yang Ruoqing nodded secretly.

As far as she knows, it is indeed not easy for a widow to pull a child in this day and age.

If you rent such a good field to someone else to do it, you will collect some rent or something, and your life will definitely get worse and worse.

Especially without the pillar of the man in the family, you have to be bullied by the villagers.

The people who rent the land, after a long time, wait until you want to take it back and plant it yourself, maybe people will not pay it back!

Ripping is indispensable!

"Daddy!"

Yang Ruoqing interrupted Yang Huazhong's words, and then asked: "I look at Cousin Lan'er, she looks really good!" That facial features are not like the second uncle or the second mother! ”

"It's not like the second uncle and the second mother, she is not like our old Yang family!" Daan took Yang Ruoqing's words and said.

"Uh-huh!" Yang Ruoqing nodded, and then asked, "Dad, cousin Lan'er, is it really my second uncle and second mother?" ”

Yang Huazhong smiled bitterly and said, "Silly girl, ask this stupid thing!" ”

"Dad, don't care if I'm stupid or not, you just say yes or no!"

"Yes, your cousin Lan'er is the authentic granddaughter of our old Yang family. But—"

"But what?"

"Those elderly people in the village say that your cousin Lan'er is like her great-grandmother on the side of Gagong!"

"Huh?"

Yang Ruoqing was shocked, wasn't that the cousin-in-law who hooked up with her great-grandfather back then?

"The one in the next village asked Mi Po to pinch Lan'er's birth hour and said that she was afraid that a certain ancestor of the old Yang family would be reincarnated, this is cause and effect!" Yang Huazhong finally said.

"I see!"

Yang Ruoqing nodded suddenly.

Reincarnation is such a thing, she doesn't dare to believe it all.

However, it is an indisputable fact that Yang Ruolan inherited the troubled face of her cousin and daughter-in-law back then.

Moreover, Yang Ruolan is also a non-fuel-efficient lamp!

"Qing'er, eat what you should eat, ask what you should ask, it's not too early at this time, shouldn't we wash and scrub and go to bed to rest?"

Sun touched Yang Ruoqing and Da'an's heads, and asked with a smile.

Yang Ruoqing stuck out her tongue: "Hehe, I had a good time tonight, Cheng, then let's clean up the dishes and chopsticks, wash and sleep!" ”

Tomorrow, Chang Gung and Uncle Da Niu will come over to help their family plant rape and wheat.

The seeds were borrowed from the two of them.

Cold dew seeds, frost wheat.

This will be the Winter Clothes Festival, and winter will begin in a few days.

It can be said that this season has missed the golden season of planting rape and wheat, and it is coming to an end.

The rape and wheat planted at this time will definitely be greatly reduced in the next year's harvest, and they will not be as good as those planted in the season.

However, if you can harvest some, you can't let the land panic like this.

After dinner, Sun went into the stove room to pick up, and Yang Ruoqing called the old grandson to come over to help weigh the beans.

According to the contract of sale with Juweixuan, I have to deliver tofu to the restaurant in the town every three days in winter.

Fifty catties of tofu are sent each time, half a catty piece, that is, one hundred pieces of tofu.

Yang Ruoqing calculated according to her own experience in making tofu, two catties of soybeans to make ten catties of tofu, and fifty catties of tofu had to be soaked in ten catties of soybeans!

So, she weighed ten catties of soybeans with Lao Sun Tou and soaked them in two large wooden barrels with water.

Soak the soybeans for six hours before they can grind the soybean milk.

This will be soaked, and it will almost be ready to grind tomorrow morning.

After the family washed up, they went back to the house to rest.

The next day, people from Uncle Chang Geng and Uncle Da Niu came over.

Yang Ruoqing's family was divided this time and was allocated two acres of paddy fields and two acres of dry land.

The two acres of paddy fields are left untouched, and it is planned to leave them for next year's rice planting.

Half an acre of dry land in the woods is the wasteland of the old Yang family, which is not suitable for growing rape and wheat.

There is still one and a half acres of dry land left in the plain area.

In this acre of five-point dry land, Sun plans to embezzle one-third of dry land and level it into a vegetable garden when the time comes.

Half of the remaining acre of land is used to grow wheat and half to grow rape.

Last day, Sun and Chang Gung all went to the field to plant rape wheat.

Yang Ruoqing stayed at home with Da'an.

The two sisters and brothers, after spending a day's work, can be regarded as grinding ten catties of soybeans into soybean milk, filling a full wooden barrel, and putting it in the corner of the wall to dry, and covering it with a dust-proof bamboo sieve.

Estimating that it was approaching noon, the two siblings shook their sore arms again and began to serve lunch.

What do you want to eat at noon?

This is a question that Yang Ruoqing wants to ponder.

She found a wooden barrel in which some loaches and small fish were kept in water.

This is what she made when she caught the yellow eel some time ago, and she kept it in a bucket for several days, and changed the water every day.

This loach spits out the sediment, and it can be directly put into the pot without slaughtering.

Scooped out the loaches and finger-length small fish in the bucket with a bamboo chop, weighed them, and nodded their heads.

Yang Ruoqing decided to use red spicy seeds to cook, even the fish with soup, which can cook a large bowl of sea, which is a side dish.

Cornmeal, set aside some caramel, paste a pot of sweet cornmeal tortillas.

After the family came out, the vegetables in the family were all given by Aunt Osmanthus and Aunt Dayun.

The old grandson came over and brought some cabbage, lettuce and lentils.

After a few days, the vegetables were almost eaten, and only the last few cabbages with yellowed leaves and two lettuce were left.
