The honeysuckle picked out is not as simple as the honeysuckle vine, and it is directly dried by spreading it on the ground with a burlap bag.

Honeysuckle is originally a brightly colored flower, looking for the old to explain to Liu Yiyu, honeysuckle improper drying, will cause the color of honeysuckle to fade, thereby affecting the efficacy and quality of honeysuckle.

Looking for the old man to confess to Liu Yiyu, when drying honeysuckle, when the honeysuckle is spread on the burlap bag to dry, it is also necessary to spread another layer of burlap bag on the surface of the honeysuckle, so that the honeysuckle will not be exposed to the sun, so that its color will fade, and it will not affect the medicinal effect of the honeysuckle.

The busy time always passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was June and a half, and the Liu family picked honeysuckle and cut honeysuckle vines, and was busy for a month and a half.

Liu Yiyu every seven days, the sun-dried honeysuckle and honeysuckle vine to Deren Hall to sell, all six times, the first three are the honeysuckle flower season, honeysuckle and honeysuckle vine combined, sold nearly two taels of silver, the last four times sold add up to only sell more than three taels of silver, together add up to about five taels of hanging money.

Seeing the silver coming in from Bai Huahua, the Liu family was both excited and happy, and they became more and more energetic in their daily work.

On this day, after selling the last honeysuckle, the honeysuckle flowering period on the mountain has passed, and there is no honeysuckle picking, and the honeysuckle vine has also withered, and it cannot be used in medicine, so the Liu family sat in the bamboo house, thinking about the silver that sold the honeysuckle this time.

"Eldest sister, how much money have we saved by picking honeysuckle and selling it for silver this time." Liu Yihao looked at his eldest sister with sparkling eyes and asked.

"Selling honeysuckle and honeysuckle vines is about five taels and five hangs, plus selling six embroidery pieces of patterns, earning six hangs, plus the previous savings of one or two or four hangings, in addition to buying some grain, we still have six taels of silver and two hangings?" Liu Yiyu estimated in his heart.

"There are so many?" Liu Yisa was a little surprised.

The next time I went to the town to sell honeysuckle and honeysuckle vines, I went with my eldest sister and third sister and fifth brother, and the third sister and fifth brother knew how much money they sold, but they didn't know how much, and the family was a little surprised when they heard that they had sold so much money.

"Is that still less? When we found honeysuckle, the honeysuckle bloomed more than halfway, we missed most of the time to pick the honeysuckle, plus we can't pick it a little, a lot of honeysuckle has fallen off, next year we pick honeysuckle earlier, maybe the income will have to double or two? ”。 Liu Yiyu said with some pity.

"Eldest sister, let's pick it early next year, and strive to build a house belonging to our family in Shangu Village next year." Liu Yihao said with some excitement.

"This is done, it's a little late to build a house next year, we have to think about building it this year, have you forgotten how our family came over last year? This year, no one in our family will be missing." Liu Yiyu recalled that the original body lived last winter, and that life was simply not something that people could live, and he didn't know how the family survived from the heat pit, quilt and clothes.

"Eldest sister, we are outsiders and have no household registration, how can we build a house in Shangu Village? Even if it is completed, without the household registration of Shangou Village, this house will not be under the name of our Liu family, and will be regarded as the common property of the head of Shangou Village." Liu Zhang said worriedly.

"Grandma has money to make ghosts grind, tomorrow, the eldest sister will go to Lizheng's family to walk around with money to see if we can settle our family in Shangou Village."

"This is also done, grandma will go with you tomorrow."

Early in the morning of the second day, Liu Li prepared half a catty of sugar and a piece of pickled hare, and asked Liu Yiyu to go to Lizheng's house in Shangou Village with Liu Zhang's family, and complete the matter of the Liu family's settlement in Shangou Village.

Shangou Village is divided into the head of the village and the end of the village, the cave where the Liu family lives is the end of the village of Shangou Village, and the Lizheng family lives in the position of the head of the village, and to go to the Lizheng family, you have to pass by the fields of the mountain valley village.

When passing by the fields, Liu Yiyu saw many villagers in Shangou Village carrying buckets of water, constantly carrying water in the big river of Shangou Village to irrigate their family's paddy fields and dry fields.

Liu Yiyu saw that there was no water in many paddy fields, and there were cracks in many paddy fields.

"It hasn't rained this summer, and the paddy fields are not dry now, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that this year will be difficult again, and the grain can't be harvested, and we have to pay the field tax. This is a war and a natural disaster, and God will not let people live? ”。 Liu Zhang's old man who said this said with tears in his eyes.

Saying unintentionally, listening with a heart, Liu Yiyu immediately pondered in his heart and said to Liu Zhang, "Grandma, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Lizheng's house today, wait for half a month, and see what happens in half a month."

"It's ......". Although Liu Zhang's was a little puzzled by the eldest sister's sudden decision, after Liu Zhang's saw the determined look on the eldest sister's face, Liu Zhang's didn't ask much, and followed Liu Yiyu back to his house.

"Mother, eldest sister, why did you come back so soon, but the matter was done." When Liu Li saw Liu Zhang and his eldest sister coming back, he hurriedly greeted them and said to the two.

"Not yet? This matter will be postponed for half a month, grandma, mother, starting tomorrow, except for grandma and seven brothers and eight sisters who stay at home to watch the house, we all go up the mountain to find food, and everything that can be eaten will be brought to the house, and by the way, from tomorrow, our family will start to collect firewood for winter."

"Big sister, what's wrong." Liu Li asked with some puzzlement.

"Now the weather is hot, the weather is not beautiful, there has been no rain for more than two months, the crops in the ravine village have died a lot, and if this continues, I am afraid that the crops in the ravine village will not be harvested, the eldest sister is treacherous, this year the grain is afraid that the price will rise, and even the money can not buy it.

If it doesn't rain again in this half a month, let's use the money earned from picking honeysuckle to buy food and save it. Generally, after a major drought, it will be very cold, and Liu Yiyu said with some worries.

"What the eldest sister said is reasonable, even if it rains in the past half a month, it only alleviates part of the crops from being killed by drought. I'm afraid that this year's harvest will be four or five percent less than in previous years, and some families will have a hard time this year? ”。 Grandma has a relative.

"Anitabha, I hope God will open his eyes and it will rain sooner?" Liu Li clasped his hands together and begged the Buddha to bless him.
