Chapter 2: Set fire to the ground

Some of the adults were shaking their heads and talking.

"Alas! Jiang Da's children are really pitiful, they have no father and no mother, so they are still diligent when Jiang Da and his wife are there, and they save some food for them, otherwise where are the three brothers and sisters now? ”

"Alas! Who's to say it isn't! It's a pity......" She originally wanted to say that they wanted to help something, but the family did not have enough food to eat, and now the harvest is a little better, and when the green and yellow crops are gone, the children will be hungry and croaking.

A few adults put down the hoe in their hands, chatting about something, while looking at Jiang Yu'er's sister and brother, in case something happened, they could help something.

Thankfully, nothing happened. Jiang Yu'er watched the thatch in the field burn and didn't cause a fire, and checked that there was indeed no fire, so she took her younger brother back with confidence.

When her brother returned, she thought, the two of them would come and turn over the ground, and in the winter, when the snow came, some of the thatch in the fields would freeze to death. In the coming year, if you burn this thatch, you will be able to grow food in this land.

Rice yields were low in those days, and she didn't want to grow rice hungry. The sweet potatoes she had seen in the mountains before were very small, but she had a way to transplant them into her own fields.

The village is full of simple people, she has been here for more than a month, and she has not heard anything bad. She also knew that if their brothers and sisters survived until now, the people in the village should have received a lot of help, otherwise they would have starved to death with the little food left by their parents.

She thought that when the sweet potatoes were planted, she would promote them to the villagers. She can't make her family hungry, and she can still make the villagers hungry. It is said that the heart of harming others is indispensable, and the heart of preventing others is indispensable. Everything that every household has, and I'm afraid that someone will make it bad.

She doesn't have any big ambitions, she just wants to plant good land. Born in the countryside, she has seen what it means to sweat and harvest since she was a child.

Although she lived in an era where she didn't have to rely too much on God for food. But if God really wants to get along with the people, the harvest of the year can only be halved or there is no harvest.

When the two siblings got home, they boiled the wild vegetables they dug up yesterday and ate them with a little salt. In the previous life, the people who could eat these things were rich people or knew how to maintain health. Now, she eats it for food.

In her previous life, she had three meals a day, and the meals did not fall. Although not every meal is full of fish and meat, there is never a shortage of oil. Well, now I've been here for almost a month, and I haven't seen what the oil is, and I don't know what it smells like. What's even more unbearable is that I eat two meals a day and eat wild vegetables.

Looking at her yellow-faced and skinny brother, she was full of guilt. She doesn't have the ability to be like those crossing women, and she doesn't have the ability to do business or anything. What she used to learn was farming, and she couldn't think of anything else she could do for the time being.

Chewing on the wild vegetables that were a little bitter in her mouth, Jiang Yu'er's heart was full of bitterness.

"Ziming is really good, is it okay for my sister to take you up the mountain? We're running out of food! Jiang Yu'er touched her brother's little head and asked.

"Wow! Wow! Sister, shall we dig that sweet thing tomorrow? The only thing Jiang Ziming remembers is the sweet and fragrant things that taste.

"Ziming, that thing, we can't eat it anymore. Wait for next spring, let's plant it in the ground and let it grow a lot, okay for Ziming to eat? "How can Jiang Yuer not know what her brother is obsessed with. Sweet potatoes, in my own time, many children also brought snacks to eat, and some children didn't even like that thing.

But here, it has become food for them to fill their stomachs.

After listening to his sister's words, Jiang Ziming suddenly became a little lost. I thought I could still eat that thing, but who knew that my sister said that it would be used to plant next year. However, after thinking about it, following my sister to the mountains, maybe there will be something to eat!

His wish is actually very simple, to be able to eat enough and wear warm clothes, this is his greatest wish in this life. It's just that all this, now it seems, everything is so unrealistic.

Seeing her brother's lost appearance, Jiang Yu'er felt very uncomfortable. She wants to raise her younger brother well, probably because of his inextricable blood relationship with his own body. Jiang Yu'er really regarded him as her own brother, seeing him happy, she would feel warm in her heart, and she would blame herself when she saw the loss.

She secretly vowed in her heart that she must make life better. Doesn't it mean that in ancient times, except for merchants, the lowest status was peasants? As a farmer, she must not feel inferior, she must be the most powerful farmer and the richest farmer in this country.

She wants to raise her younger brother to be white and fat, as cute and cute as a little bun.

After eating, the siblings went to bed. There is no oil lamp at home, and even if there is, it is necessary to save some for the sake of future life.

Early the next morning, Jiang Yuer put on the basket on her back and took her younger brother into the mountain. They don't know when their brother will be able to return this month, but Jiang Yu'er knows one thing, that is, her brother's meager income really can't maintain the daily life of the two siblings.

They have no food, and they have to rely on their brother's money for every bit of money. Moreover, Jiang Yuer, who is already in her twenties in the new era, how can she be embarrassed to spend the money earned by a twelve or thirteen-year-old child?

She has to think of a way to rely on her own strength to support her younger brother, support herself, and strive not to drag her brother down.

When I went to the mountains before, I didn't dare to go too far because I was young and didn't have much strength. There are no hunters in their village, and the villagers will not go too deep into the mountains.

She took a closer look, and the forest was not very dense, and it was mostly small shrubs. Moreover, the last time she came, it seemed that she saw an octagonal on the mountain. She didn't know why no one picked this thing, but she thought that if she wanted her brother to have enough to eat, this thing might be able to sell for a little money.

This thing can be used as a spice or as a medicine. She knew what to do with it, and she knew how to pick it so that it wouldn't be poisoned.

The two sisters and brothers walked to an octagonal tree that was not too tall, and Jiang Yuer sent the younger brother aside to stand and pick the anise by herself.

"Sister! Why are you picking this? Jiang Ziming was a little confused, he thought that his sister had made him food again, so he reached out and grabbed a handful. was interrupted by Jiang Yu'er.
