Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Dilemma
Rui Xue looked at the figure of the Jiang family going out and sighed again, their family's fields are excellent, but there is not much left after paying taxes every year, and it is generally very difficult to catch the next year's grain after a winter.
This dynasty is called Great Wei, when I heard my father and mother occasionally mention it before, she thought that she had reached the Three Kingdoms period, and then slowly found that it didn't seem to be like that, this Great Wei and the Wei State of the Three Kingdoms period should have nothing to do with it, and even if her history is worse, she knows that there is no Great Wei Dynasty in China for 5,000 years, so she can't use the ability of a prophet.
However, the place where she is now is the same as in her previous life, in the south-central part of the country, and the staple food is rice.
So every family here has to grow rice, although she has never planted a field in her previous life, but she seems to remember that they can grow two crops of rice there, but people here can only grow one season of rice.
She asked her mother, and finally concluded that the rice here grows slower than she knew in her previous life, and she doesn't know if it's a problem with the variety or the fertilizer in the previous life, anyway, the rice here can't be grown for two seasons.
If someone improves this, it is estimated that not so many people will go hungry, and people's lives will be greatly improved.
It's a pity that she was an ordinary person in her previous life, and she didn't study any major in studying plants, so she couldn't do anything about it.
The eldest brother is nineteen years old this year, and he will be twenty after the New Year, and the most urgent thing for her mother now is to show her eldest brother her daughter-in-law.
At this age, it is considered a late marriage in this dynasty, and there is a second cousin, the second son of her uncle, he is the same age as his eldest brother, and he is older, and his family affairs are also unsettled.
The main reason is that the Bai family is too poor, the old house has not been separated, and the three-room people are now full, and there is no place to live if you marry a daughter-in-law. Parents who don't really care about their children will let their daughters marry into such a family, those who don't care must care about money, and the Bai family must have no money, so this thing is very difficult to do.
And the main thing in their second room is not because of the problem of living, but as soon as they heard that at the foot of the West Mountain, no family dared to marry their daughter.
Rui Xue was extremely puzzled by this, saying that their family had lived at the foot of this western mountain for six years, but she had not seen any large beasts descending the mountain once, at most rabbits, weasels and the like would run down to find food.
So she couldn't understand that the matchmakers who were invited by her mother said with constipated faces that the girls were afraid to come over and hoped that their family could move somewhere to find a daughter-in-law.
She also asked her father about this, but she didn't get any useful answers, and his father also said that he didn't know, but he heard that there were jackals who came down the mountain to eat people, and as for how long ago this was, I don't know.
It's just that now their family is struggling with a problem, because the eldest brother and the second brother are definitely going to marry a daughter-in-law when they are older, and now this three-bay room must not be able to live in, and two more rooms need to be built.
So the question is, they don't know whether to build two rooms next to it, or to build a larger yard in a different place.
Both of these are difficult to choose, if you start two directly, you will definitely save money, but it is difficult for a daughter-in-law to marry. However, if they directly change the place to build, the money they need, even if they get up early in the past six years, raise pigs and chickens, and praise the money is not enough to buy a land.
