Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1385 Dawn
When the sky was slightly bright, Ah Luo had already gotten up, and she went to fetch water from the well first.

In the early morning, there were many women who got up early like her to carry water by the well in the middle of the village. Everyone greeted casually, and then carried water in the well with buckets, and exchanged gossip while carrying water.

After filling the two large wooden barrels with water, Ah Luo picked up the water and walked home. A load of water weighing more than a hundred catties was carried on her shoulders, but she did not exert much effort.

In one breath, he carried four loads of water to the house, two loads to the kitchen water tank, one load to the barn, another load to the water tank at the gate of the yard, and more than 20 loads from the well in a row. Bucket of water, and picked up four more loads, and I couldn't help sweating a little.

Regardless of rest, she put down the empty bucket and quickly poured a bucket of water into the trough of the cow in the shed. Add a calf, and after raising it for more than a year, the calf will be worth a lot of money.

A Luo also stretched out her hand to help the cow scratch itchy, and tore off a few ticks from the cow that had sucked the blood all night, and the belly was full. A dark red.

"Food well." Ah Luo stuttered in her voice. She is a Baekje woman, and her husband is a Han Chinese immigrant. The husband came with three young children. Because his wife died of illness a few years ago, so After arriving here, the government acted as a matchmaker and immediately arranged a marriage for him with a Baekje woman.

Before getting married, Ah Luo had never met her husband face to face, and completely followed the arrangement of the official media. The husband sent a pair of wild geese to her family, and then made some rice noodles with a few pieces of cloth, and it was considered to be officially married to her.

Fortunately, although Ah Luo's husband has three children, he is still young and strong, and works very hard and diligently.The yamen allocated a lot of land to their family, even the newly married Ah Luo was allocated ten acres of Yongye farmland, and the family had two hundred acres of land.In my hometown in the Central Plains, my husband couldn't believe it.

Although there are mountains and forests in the land, not all of them are cultivated land, but out of the [-] mu of land, [-] mu of it is Yongye farmland.Not to mention, at the beginning, the government also rented cattle, farm tools, seeds, etc. for free, and asked everyone to help each other. Together, they built villages, repaired canals, dug wells and repaired walls.

A few years passed, Ah Luo and her husband had three children, and the family life became more and more prosperous.Now the family has its own cattle and two horses.One is used to pull carts on plowed land. Horses are better at plowing dry land than cattle, and horses can also pull carts.The other horse is the husband's mount. The husband joined the militia because he was young and strong.

My husband likes the horse very much. Even if he doesn't use it normally, he still asks Ah Luo to keep the bean cake concentrate, and even feeds a handful of night grass every night.

When I was feeding the horse, I found that the handful of grass given at night had been eaten, and the horse stood there dozing.

Coming out of the circle, Ah Luo began to boil water.

Today is not a day off, so the children at home have to eat and go to school early in the morning.

There are six children in the family, the husband brought a second son and a daughter, and she gave birth to a second son and a daughter with her husband. This makes the family have six children, especially the four children, which makes the husband always very happy. Proud and proud, I feel straighter when I go out.

The oldest child is already 12 years old. He has finished junior primary school. Because of his good grades, he went to senior primary school again. This year is the last year of senior primary school. His grades are good. His husband thinks highly of him and says he will be recommended to go to the county government school enter school.If you can enter the county school, you will have a great chance to participate in the imperial county examination.If you can be a middle school student, at least you can be a small official in the county and township in the future.

Add water to the pot and turn on the stove.

The chicken nest was opened, and the chickens in the nest were driven out to look for food. They reached out and found five eggs from the nest. During the laying period of the chickens, four or five eggs were picked up basically every day.

When Da Lang was growing up, and it was the last year of high school, studying and studying was more energy-intensive. Her husband confessed to cooking two eggs for Da Lang every day.

The newly picked eggs were put away, and Ah Luo picked out the eggs that had been kept for the longest time, and she took out six of them.

There are five men in the family, and she wants to fill them up.

The eldest son eats two, and the husband and the other three sons each eat one.

As for her and her two daughters, no matter whether they were born by herself or by her ex-wife.

The daughters had no eggs to eat and no books to read.

Although the husband loves his daughter dearly, he always says that the daughter will marry in the future and will belong to someone else's family. He even needs to add her husband's surname before her surname.

Most of the men in the village actually think like this, and even the women who are also women also think the same way.

The two daughters are very envious of their elder brothers and younger brothers who can read, but they can only teach them what they have learned at school in their spare time. They are very smart, and they can learn to read and write their own names. Do simple addition and subtraction, but even so, they still have no chance to enter school.

When the eggs are cooked, the family's breakfast porridge is also cooked.

In the porridge made of white rice, green vegetables were added, and a little salt and lard were added, so the porridge exuded a very good smell.

Smoke was rising from the chimneys on top of the kitchens of every household, and it was finally daylight at this time.

The small village that had been quiet all night also became noisy.

The husband walked into the yard carrying the hoe, and he also got up very early. After getting up, he carried the hoe and walked around the field to water the newly planted rice fields at home to check for deficiencies and make up for leaks.

"I caught some crabs and a few fish."

The husband handed him a willow branch, on which there were strings of fish of different sizes and types, and seven or eight crabs tied with straw.

"Is there another crab on the stalk?" A Luo hurried forward to take it.

The husband nodded, went to the water tank, picked up a gourd ladle, scooped up a ladle of water, and began to rub his face.

"These damned crabs can't catch them all. They make holes everywhere. If we don't go to the ridges for a few days, there will be many holes. The water in the rice fields will leak out." The husband complained.Some of their [-] mu of land are planted with mulberry, some with hemp, and some with cotton, and the rest are planted with grain, dry millet and rice, and some fields with poor land will be rotated to crop some wheat.

"I'll steam the crab, kill and fry the fish, and get you some wine," Ah Luo said to her husband.

"The fish should be stewed in soup. There are not many fish, and everyone can eat a little after the stewed soup." After the husband finished speaking, he wiped his face, poured out the water, and walked into the house. Help with the housework."

"It's still early, let them sleep more, especially Da Lang, who works so late at night, the child is growing up." A Luo said.Although Da Lang was not born to her, although the child was not close to her, he was quite polite and treated her three children very well, Ah Luo was very satisfied.

While speaking, the village head entered the yard with his hands behind his back.

"Ayuan, pack up and gather at the head of the village after dinner. The County Captain Zhang has sent someone to spread the word that all the militiamen will rush to the county to gather reports before tomorrow morning."

The man froze for a moment.

"Uncle Wang, the rice has just been planted not long ago, and it is still the busy farming season. Why is the county gathering militia at this time?"

The gray-haired village chief Lao Wang looked at the fish, shrimps and crabs, and said with a smile, "I heard that it seems that we are going to send troops to Silla. Anyway, there is a mission. Ah Yuan, I caught so many fish, shrimps and crabs again. It looks very fresh. Just in time for a drink."

"Uncle, I asked my woman to steam the crab and fry the fish and shrimp. Let's have a drink."

"Okay, I've gone to another place to inform, and I'll come back and have a drink or two." Old Wang replied with a smile.
