42: The iceberg is melting

This little villain is inevitably too dull, and he doesn't put a single skin.

Gu Xiaoxiao complained in her heart, I can't stand the game of you staring at me and I staring at you at night, so she pulled the small quilt and lay down again.

Seeing people lying down, the people who were pestled in the dark night were finally anxious.

Walked over and pulled her little quilt away.

Gu Xiaoxiao: "......"

Made!

What nerves?!

It's a big night, and you can't sleep at all?!

If it weren't for the fear of taking a break in the future, the old lady would definitely beat this stinky boy violently!

Gu Xiaoxiao yawned, her eyes were full of sleepiness, the corners of her forehead jumped suddenly, and she pulled the corners of her mouth to hold back a smile, "Erbao, do you have something to say to me?" ”

No, the smile is too fake, the corners of the eyes are going to cramp!

Gu Xiaoxiao hurriedly pressed the corner of her eye.

A hand reached out, palm up, small.

She was stunned.

With a twitch of his brain, he put his hand on it.

Suddenly reacted, and was so anxious to withdraw his hand!

Secretly slapped in her heart, what the hell is she doing as a god horse?!

Could it be that I was startled and lost my mind in a dream?

Lin Erbao lowered his eyes and looked at the empty palm, his eyes were crossed with a thick ink-like loss, and he whispered: "They all have them, why don't I have them?" ”

They all have ...... They?

Yes!

Gu Xiaoxiao's brain finally turned around, dragged the changed clothes to her hand, touched and dug it out, and finally took out two candies and put them on the small palm.

"I'm worried that the three treasures will say that I'm biased, so I thought about waiting for tomorrow to secretly give it to you, and the extra candy is a reward for you to pick me up."

The ghost sent the gods, Gu Xiaoxiao raised her hand and rubbed Lin Erbao's head.

"Eating sugar at night is not good for your teeth, eat it tomorrow, be good, go to bed."

After speaking, without waiting for the other party to react, Gu Xiaoxiao took the first step to lie down in the quilt and fell asleep.

From morning to night during the day, the bad things never stopped, and if she didn't sleep well, she felt that she hadn't been killed by the villain, so she died suddenly!

When she slept, she naturally didn't see Lin Erbao's eyes gradually flushing red.

Like a child, he carefully held the two pieces of candy in the palm of his hand, looked at them again and again, and after several minutes, he did not even dare to blink, for fear that in the blink of an eye, the candy in his hand would disappear.

It's been a long, long time......

The sun jumped out of the gray mountain, and the small half round of purple-red flames immediately illuminated the dim sky, and behind the bright and dazzling morning glow, it seemed to stretch out the boundless blue satin.

He took a piece of candy apart and put it in his mouth.

The sweet taste of orange fragrance blooms in the mouth, like a brilliant morning glow on the horizon, and a beam of light quietly shines into the dark and dusty heart.

He took the candy from his mouth and put his hand on his head.

I savor the softness and tenderness of that hand.

The towering iceberg under the eye has a tendency to melt.

......

Early morning.

Gu Xiaoxiao sat up, yawned, stretched her waist, smashed her mouth, and slowed down for a while before she began to get out of bed and put on her shoes.

I've been here for a few days, and now she's used to sleeping on a hard kang.

Although it is said to be a hard kang head, it is actually not hard at all.

There is soft straw underneath, and there are old cotton wool and a mat separating it, so it is quite comfortable to fall asleep.

"Mother-in-law, are you up?"

"It's up."

Gu Xiaoxiao walked out of the bedroom and looked at Wang Xiulian in a voice, "What's wrong?" ”

"I went to the field this morning to take a look, and the big guys in the village are cutting the rice one after another, when do you think our family will cut the right time?"

Gu Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment, "Wait until I go down to the field to take a look, it's about the past two days, where have they all gone?" ”

"The second brother went to fetch water, and the third brother, the fourth brother, and Xiaoxi went to the mountains to dig wild vegetables."

When Wang Xiulian said this, she hurriedly said, "I left after breakfast." ”

Seeing that people listened to her words again, Gu Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, I see."

Go to the stove room to scoop water and start washing.

Gu Xiaoxiao also went to see the rice in that field.

But as for the rice that bears ears, it is estimated that there is not much rice when it is beaten, and it is not sure that it will be in vain in the end, after all, there are still thirty percent of the taxes to be paid.

Lin Xiucai's family only has one acre of fertile land, and one acre here is equal to sixty square abbots, which is about 666.67 square meters.

Due to the season, rice is only planted once a year, and it is generally planted around March to April on the spring equinox, and harvested in early or mid-July.

According to normal rice planting, the mass production can reach about 500 kilograms during the autumn harvest, that is, 35 jun.

Regardless of the actual harvest in the field, the imperial court set a rate of 35 jun to harvest 10% of the 10% for one acre of fertile land.

In previous years, the harvest was fruitful, and the tax revenue of one percent was an easy and light thing for the people.

Although there was no bumper harvest last year, we were able to survive with the harvest in the fields and the rice we had saved the year before.

But this year, not only is there no Chen Gu, but the tax has also risen by 20%, which is undoubtedly worse and forcing people to a dead end.

After drinking corn porridge, Gu Xiaoxiao put on her back and went out with a scimitar.

Walking on the field road next to the field, as far as the eye can see, there are several busy figures bending over to cut rice in each rice field.

Knife after knife, the hand movement is very flexible.

Gu Xiaoxiao walked to his field, pulled an ear of rice, and crushed it with his fingers, the rice grains were very small, and there were a few empty husks on them, and there was no long rice in them at all.

After pulling a few more sticks and grinding them, they were all almost the same situation, almost the same situation as she had predicted in her heart, and then she turned around and walked towards the mountain.

There are obviously more people in the mountains today than yesterday, and the mountains are full of the sound of people shouting and talking, and it is as lively as if they are in a vegetable market.

Even if they don't dig up any nutritious wild vegetables or wild fruits, no one will take the initiative to go deep into the mountains.

For the deep mountains, the people in the village have always maintained a state of awe and distance, and they are not willing to put their lives into it for the sake of some wild vegetables and fruits.

Gu Xiaoxiao didn't go to mix with those people, and still walked straight into the mountains.

It's just that before I took two steps, I heard a soft voice not far away: "Mother~"

She turned her head to look.

Lin Xiaoxi was like a deer in the woods, waving her hands and running over happily, and asked with a radiant look: "Mother, are you also going to the deep mountains?" ”

Also?

Gu Xiaoxiao frowned, "Aren't the three treasures and the four treasures with you?" ”

Lin Xiaoxi saw Gu Xiaoxiao frowning, and knew that her mother was a precursor to anger, she lowered her head with some trepidation and shrunk, and said honestly: "The third brother and the fourth brother went to the deep mountains with Brother Godan, but they didn't let me go with them......"
