My whole family is punching cards in the farming article to survive

Wei Meiliang went to the town to teach people how to knit sweaters, so Mei Youqian and Mei Sanma naturally had to follow him to take a look to be at ease.

After that, Mei Youqian went to see it again with Mei Berry, who was full of curiosity.

The house is said to be in Lishui Town, but the location is quite remote, on the edge of the town.

The area is quite large, it is a three-entry house.

Wei Meili and the others teach in the middle school on weekdays and rest in the backyard at night.

And there are some guards living in the front yard.

The first time Mei Berry went there, she felt something was wrong with the "guard".

"I feel a little something wrong with those people. I don't know if it's the murderous aura you mentioned, sister."

Mei You was surprised by Mei Berry's sensitivity to certain "survival" aspects.

Although she hasn't seen it yet, after hearing what Mei Berry said, Mei You is also a little curious, so she proposes to go and see it with Mei Berry tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Meiyou and Meiberry drove a mule cart to the town.

The two of them also brought some recently prepared food at home.

For example, Wei Meili and the others started making crispy persimmons and dried persimmons when they were at home.

Just as Mei Berry suspected, as soon as Mei You entered the door, her gaze immediately locked on the guard standing in the corridor not far away, looking towards them.

Although the other party restrained his breath, just like what Mei Berry said, the man had a murderous look on him.

The guard subconsciously wanted to avoid Mei You's gaze, but before he could make a move, he heard Mei Berry say: "Let's go, sister, just get used to it, although it looks scary, but fortunately Don't die."

Meiyou: ...

Guard: ...

After the two of them entered the middle courtyard through the small door on the side, several guards who had been hiding in the dark stuck their heads out to each other and winked.

Everyone laughed at this guy who appeared in front of everyone and was "disliked" by the little lady.

Not knowing what the guards were doing after they left, Mei Berry brought Mei You into the middle courtyard, and the courtyard was full of laughter one after another.

Wei Meimei, who stood in the middle, had the most hearty laugh.

Everyone seemed to be talking about something happy, and it didn't look like learning to knit sweaters with great pain and hatred.

"Ah~ Berry Bao, Youyou are here!"

Wei Meili had sharp eyes while joking with others, watching Mei Berry and Mei You standing at the small door, and waved quickly.

Mei Berry came here only two days ago, and everyone knows each other.

Standing next to Mei Berry, Mei You, who was about half a head taller than Mei Berry, was being looked at for the first time.

But soon someone shouted at the happy Miao family: "Miss Miao, this is your daughter, right?"

"Ah."

Miao was very happy, and boldly raised her hand and waved towards Mei You.Seeing Meiyou, the corners of her mouth curled up also seemed very happy.

"Oh, these two young ladies are very handsome!"

"If you're here today, don't leave~"

The women around made a fuss, Wei Meili was afraid that Mei Berry and Mei You would be embarrassed, so she beckoned them to come over, and told everyone present to knit their sweaters first, and she would come to check them one by one later.

This instantly made the women who were still smiling just now bitter and bitter, and started knitting sweaters honestly one by one.

While everyone was knitting sweaters, Wei Meili and Miao took the two of them into the house in the backyard.

"The lid of this persimmon has been opened. My dad and I tasted it last night, and it didn't hurt my mouth~" Mei Berry took out the crispy persimmons she brought, and Meiyou not only took the crispy persimmons, but also dried them at home Ripe red persimmons on the windowsill.

Seeing that their daughter brought them delicious food, Wei Meili and Miao were very happy to take it and taste it.

Crispy persimmons are crispy, sweet and refreshing, while ripe red persimmons are as sweet and refreshing as eating honey.

Seeing this, Mei Berry still had these greedy eyes, turned her head and smiled at Mei You with the crispy persimmon, without saying a word, Mei You put a ripe persimmon into Mei Berry's hand.

"How is your father at home?"

There were many things that Wei Meimei asked Mei Berry to write down on paper that night, and many of them were for Mei Youqian to do.

It has been several days since Mei Youqian has not come to town.

This person can't see, Wei Meili naturally has to worry.

"My father is at home with my third uncle to prepare winter wheat and go up the mountain to cut firewood. It's going to be cold today, so we need to prepare firewood for the kang all winter."

Because of Meiyou's presence, Mei Berry didn't say anything about other trivial matters in the family.

But recently, her father and third uncle are busy leaving early and returning late, so they are a little secretive and don't tell her.

Mei Berry didn't know very well, so she didn't say anything.

"That's right! The ewe at home has given birth to a lamb!"

Mei Berry remembered something that made her feel very novel.

"Really?! It's very good, it can be considered a birth."

There are also pregnant ewes in Meiyou's family, but they had already given birth before Miao's arrival.

Now I am happy to hear that Mei Berry's family has also given birth.

"Oh, that's right! No one in the village has said anything recently, right?"

Wei Meili heard that nothing happened at home, so she became concerned about whether there would be gossip in the village when she and Miao came out.

"No, everyone is very busy now. Even Grandma Wang asked you and the third aunt. At that time, my father said that he asked someone to find you some short-term labor in the village related to the landlord's house."

"Yeah? That's okay too?"

Miao was quite surprised to hear this statement.

"Why can't this work? Grandma Wang is quite envious. She said that she has always heard that Zhuangzi only recruits women to work, but there is no way~ she said that you are lucky."

Mei Berry remembered the envious expression on Grandma Wang's face when she heard what her father said.

This year, her two sons did not go out to work because of the water level problem during the hottest period of summer.

Later, the second son served in the army. Although he came back by luck, he suffered a lot of losses.

He has cultivated at home these days, nourishing his body like his pregnant sister-in-law, and then he recovered.

Coupled with the payment of taxes and money for the autumn harvest a few days ago, Aunt Wang's family was also a little stretched. These days, Aunt Wang and her family are also busy planting winter wheat.

It's really busy all year round, and it's hard all year round.

"Ah~"

Hearing that people are having a hard time, Wei Meili couldn't help but sigh.

She looked outside the room at the women who were working hard to knit sweaters, and said, "Guess where they all learned the craft?"

Hearing that Wei Meimei focused the topic on the outside, Mei Berry also looked out the window a few more times.

But she didn't see anything.

"The accents they spoke just now are far from the local ones, aren't they from this county?"

Mei You got to the point, Wei Meili nodded and said, "Not only are they not from this county, nor are they from Yunzhou, but they are all from Xianyao Prefecture."

"what?"

Mei Berry and Mei You were greatly surprised.

"Well, since the snow disaster last winter, the situation in Xianyao Prefecture has been bad this year.

Not only has the relief food from the imperial court not been delivered, but banditry broke out again in Xianyao's place this year because of the beginning of the year.

The imperial court sent troops to quell the chaos, and then asked the people of Xianyao to pay the "safety tax" afterwards, adding [-]% to each of the summer and autumn harvests. "

"I go!"

Mei Berry was stunned, and Mei You also frowned.

"Shouldn't the imperial court suppress the bandits? We need to ask the local people for more money..." Mei Berry opened her mouth for a while, feeling a little annoyed, and beeped softly, "This emperor is such a cute little clever ghost!"

"However... after these women go back, will they teach more people how to knit sweaters?"

Mei You asked this question abruptly, and Wei Meili nodded: "I heard from them that many of them come from different villages, and they will give them to the villagers after they go back, and then Jiubao Tongtongxuan will buy these sweaters and exchange them for food."

According to what Wei Meili heard, money in Xianyao Prefecture is not as good as food.

In the countryside, there is a tael of silver on one side of the ground and a bucket of rice on the other. You can only pick one, and the local people will pick rice without hesitation.

Listening to what her mother said, Mei Berry suddenly realized that Jiubaoxuan's wool business is taking a completely different path from making soap.

And why does Jiubaoxuan's behavior this time not sound like a purely businessman?
This topic has come to an end, Mei You and Mei Berry didn't intend to go deeper into this topic, so they quickly chatted about other topics.

When the sun was almost up, Mei Berry and Mei You left.

As soon as they entered the village, they saw Aunt Wang lying eagerly at the gate of Meiberry's courtyard, as if looking for someone.

Mei Berry's heart suddenly tightened, why?

What happened at home after she went out?
Crispy persimmons, except for the specialized variety.

Others can be made at home.

In autumn, those blue persimmons are picked off together with its "head" cover.Then soak in water.Pure water or well water will do.After soaking for about four days, the cover on the persimmon will fall off by itself or fall off if you touch it lightly. At that time, the persimmon can be eaten without any astringency.

If you are interested, you can try it in autumn. If you are not at ease at first, you can choose to soak a little~
