A Husband Who Traveled Through the Famine and Developed a Chronicle

Three hundred acres of land is not a small amount. Just as the village chief's wife thought, after buying the land, plowing, weeding, fertilizing, and sowing all require manpower.

Why is Douer Village so poor?

In addition to the poor harvest, there are also reasons why there are no big households in the village.

In other villages, there are more or less one or two families with abundant land and wealthy families, but in Dou'er Village, there are only a few poor farmers in the village, and none of their families has enough food or money to save.

The few bucks I earn every day are not enough to feed the family, so how can I save any money?

Thinking of this, he returned to the patriarch's house again.

As soon as they said they wanted to buy three hundred acres of land, the clan leader couldn't sit still.

He was pacing in place with his hands behind his back, smoking the dry cigarette in his hand again and again.

"According to what you said, if they buy the land first, let them stay. It will not affect our village. This means they have met a noble person."

The old patriarch is already sixty-three this year, two generations older than the villagers.

People in the village generally have short lifespans, and only a few live to be 50 years old. Those who live to their sixties like the old patriarch are considered to have lived a long life. The village chief complained in his heart that the patriarch had previously suspected that the other person had bad intentions, but now he thinks that the other person is a noble person. .

I thought so in my heart, but I didn't dare to contradict him out loud, otherwise the old patriarch would have to chase him for a mile with a cane and beat him.

The village chief was also happy. The chief agreed and returned home.

Bai Xia and the others were still sitting and talked about the conditions in the village. Bai Xia raised his eyebrows and remained silent.

The matter of talking to the village chief was left to Yu Dahai. He heard that he had to buy land before he could take them in. Yu Dahai was not angry, as long as he could stay.

He immediately started discussing with the village chief.

Bai Xia and the others were sitting bored, so they couldn't help but walk in the yard, looking at the mountains and rivers of the countryside. The villagers were working hard, but at a glance, they were still a land of shabby thatched houses.

It was much poorer than Lijia Village where she once lived.

"Who said hard work makes you rich? Just look at the situation in this village. If nothing changes, no matter how hard you work, you will probably end up poor for the rest of your life."

Bai Xia shook his head and sighed.

The most difficult thing in ancient times was the lack of transportation and information.

Everyone has no way to make a living, but the food production is still low, and they keep having babies.

It is said that more children mean more blessings. This is because more children means more people can work. If the yield is low, you can only plant more crops. However, in this case, more people will be needed. If there are less people, the land will not be able to plant, and only Starved to death.

Even so, if a family has more than ten acres, it is considered good.

It can’t be too little, because people will starve to death if it’s too little, and it can’t be too much, because if it’s too much, it can’t be planted, and taxes have to be paid on time.

This day is not going to get better.

She sighed quietly.

She comes from the best era and has seen the most beautiful era. Looking at these things, her life is already poor and uncomfortable. If she encounters a foolish tyrant again, the taxes will increase and the people will have a hard time.

People are the foundation of a world!

The village is poor, with few people and plenty of land.

There is a lot of idle land at the east end of the village that cannot be sold. People in the village cannot afford it, so they have always been vacant.

It's just that there are no [-] acres there, only about [-] acres. The other villages in the south, north and west of the village have added [-] acres each, and the [-] acres of land have been settled.

Bai Xia immediately handed over the money, and the village chief wrote the land deed and would send it to the town for sealing tomorrow.

The land deed must have the red seal of the government to count.

Bai Xia and the others were also afraid that the village chief and others would turn their backs on him, so they simply asked him to move forward the date of sealing. After settling on the shabby house at the east end of the village and the surrounding land as a homestead, Yu Dahai then He drove a carriage and took the village chief to the town to get the seal stamped.The three masters and servants of Bai Xia came to the location of the broken house.

There were a lot of big holes in the ceiling, and the people inside had already been emptied out, leaving only an empty shelf.

"This... this is a bit shabby. How about Miss Xia stay in my house first, and then move here after you build the house?"

The village chief's wife came with him and brought some useful things.

Looking at the dilapidated house that has been unoccupied for the past few years, I feel a little embarrassed.

"Auntie, you're welcome. I think I can live with you."

The village chief's house is also very small, so there is no way he can entertain them. Besides, they also have their own secrets, so it is always inconvenient to live in other people's houses.

"Then I'll help you clean it up together."

"Trouble Aunt"

The village chief's wife didn't give much advice. The truth is that her home is not much better than here.

Several people entered the house and picked up brooms and handkerchiefs to clean. There were bedding and other things on the carriage, all rolled up in boxes. After cleaning up, Feng Jinxi followed the village chief's wife up the mountain to cut a bundle of grass and spread it on the house. The roof is considered to have blocked the holes above.

"Miss Xia, why don't you come to my house to eat today? You can't turn on the fire."

The village chief's wife gritted her teeth and saw that half of the stove in the house had collapsed. They were afraid that they would not be able to make food, and it would be too late to build it now. They were afraid that these people would starve.

Although the family didn't have much food, they were new to the country and they were buying a house and land, so they always had to entertain them.

Bai Xia winked at Jinxi, who nodded and took out a cloth bag from the boxes stacked outside. It should be about three kilograms of grain.

Bai Xia took the food and handed it to the village chief's wife.

"Then I'm sorry, auntie, but I can't eat your food for free. All these grains are for our meals. Just accept them. I have to trouble you to make arrangements."

When the heavy grain fell into her arms, the village chief's wife was stunned for a moment. She was happy at first, and then thought that she had just arrived and was just eating one meal. How could she receive the grain from others? The grain nowadays is so precious.

"I can't make it, I can't make it"

She pushed the food into Bai Xia's arms and said while pushing it: "I have to collect your food for this meal. What kind of person is my aunt?"

Her eyes were full of reluctance, but she was determined not to accept it.

"Auntie, you'd better accept it. Life is not easy for everyone. I see that your children are also thin, and we don't have the shame to eat from your family. If you really don't accept it, then we will be embarrassed to come to your door."

Bai Xia had a fierce look on her face, as if she didn't accept it, they would not go to eat.

The village chief's wife reluctantly accepted it.

Then he happily hugged the bag and went home.

"Miss, why did you give so much food? How can we eat so much?"

Seeing the village chief's wife leave, Yun Shucai spoke unhappily.

She had experienced the hard days without food, so she valued food very much. Seeing such a large bag of food being given away, and thinking about how much her group could eat, she felt extremely distressed.

Jin Xi had never suffered this before, but she didn't understand it either.

"Although the stove collapsed, we brought a lot of dry food and it will only last one night. Why did the lady send food to them?"

Bai Xia walked to the bed and sat down. After pretending all day, she could finally take a rest.

"There will be a lot of trouble for them in the future, and they have been kindly invited. It's not good to refuse. If they come, they always have to give something."

“To give something, it has to be delivered to people’s hearts.”
