After staying with the children for a while, I secretly helped them fill up the empty buckets. Seeing that there was still a lot of food left last time and their original flowers and brocades, I felt relieved and went to Qin's house again. Just a bunch of little tails following behind.

This time he didn't stay long. After saying a few words and secretly adding some words, Hua Jin really left. He went back to the back mountain to sleep and returned to the valley early tomorrow morning.

The next day, after a good night's sleep, Hua Jin and her father ate the morning meal and left the space. It took half a day to rush back to the valley. When she and her father were sitting at home, the family still looked like they couldn't believe it.

Especially her mother and grandma, they touched and hugged her again and again, wanting to keep her close to them.

This behavior lasted for three days, and Hua Jin was obedient. She knew that she had been away for too long this time, which frightened her mother and grandma. As long as it could make them feel at ease, just being around her would allow her to do anything. OK.

Fortunately, on the fourth day, the two of them returned to normal, and then they began to notice that her nose was no longer a nose, and her eyes were no longer eyes, which meant they had to settle the score.

Why did they wait so long to come back? Not only the mother and grandma, but also the always caring grandpa were very worried, so no one interceded for her this time.

The two sisters-in-law sympathized with her, but how dare they go against her mother-in-law and grandma. They gave her an expression of being with him in spirit and asked her to be happy.

So for the next ten days or so, Hua Jin was locked up by her grandmother and mother, doing her least favorite needlework. The lockdown was not released until she successfully sewed a set of clothes.

Well, she is worthy of being her mother and grandmother. She knows her well enough, and this punishment is harsh enough. Almost none of her ten fingers are good, and she has been pricked with pinholes one after another. The most important thing is that she has a trump card that has been invincible in the past. It didn't work anymore. Her mother and grandmother had to endure the pain by acting coquettishly and begging for mercy. Hua Jin could only accept the pain and accept it. Who let her worry her family for so long.

You can imagine how difficult the process was. Finally, with the piercing practice of hanging on the head, Hua Jin completed her first ready-made garment. Although the stitching was crooked, it was still dense. From cutting to sewing, she completed it all by herself. , to be honest, I feel a strong sense of accomplishment when I look at this set of ready-made clothes, especially when I see the dense needles on my hands. I finally feel that these sins were not in vain, otherwise I would be embarrassed to cry.

The completion of this ready-made garment seemed to have unlocked Hua Jin's hidden skills. In the following days, she was able to sit still and study needlework with her mother, grandmother, and sisters-in-law.

Not to mention the old saying, practice makes perfect, and it is indeed the case. Her skills are really improving day by day, which really surprises Hua Jin and also makes her secretly proud.

Look...if she wants to do it, she can do it well.

During this period, we harvested another crop of grains, including millet, sweet potatoes, potatoes, and soybeans that are drought-resistant. Others were not planted at all.

Although the weather was relatively dry, the harvest was much better than expected because they had been prepared in advance. Every household in the valley harvested a lot, and a large amount of grain was brought into each warehouse, plus every grain in the previously stored grains. Every household is confident and no longer has to worry about going hungry.

The joyful atmosphere brought about by the harvest lasted for several days before everyone regained their composure.

At the same time, various government offices in Lingyun Prefecture and ordinary farmers who were sowing seeds estimated that the sweet potatoes were about to mature, and they also took advantage of the coolest time in the middle of the night to try to harvest.

I thought there was no harvest, but many people were pleasantly surprised when they dug out thin and small sweet potatoes.

No matter how small a mosquito's legs are, they are still meat and can still save lives when necessary. Even though the work that could have been completed in half a day ended up taking several days under high temperatures.

The government also breathed a sigh of relief. The successive disasters made these officials extremely uneasy. The most important thing was that the court had lost contact and could not be contacted at all. Under such circumstances, the fields can still produce something. Although it is ugly and not big, there is still something to gain. Especially when the road ahead is unknown and confusing, these may be the motivation for them to persevere. their hope of survival.

In the past, gods gave water, and later they harvested food. The chaos in Lingyun Prefecture quietly disappeared, and then everyone hid underground as much as possible, waiting to survive this difficult time.

In contrast, except for the neighboring states of Lingyun Prefecture, once darkness falls in other states and even at the foot of the Imperial City, even if there is an iron-blooded suppression of the army at the foot of the Imperial City, it still cannot stop the chaos.

People in various states are constantly revolting. They have no water, no food, and are almost dead. Of course, they follow whoever keeps them alive.

The lives of the poor in this world are as cheap as grass and duckweed, and can be trampled on at will, but the powerful are never in short supply, and the resources in the hands of these people are beyond the imagination of the common people.

If the monarch's actions are in line with God's will, the five blessings will come; if the monarch's actions are not good, God will punish him with the six poles.

The careerists used the emperor's unkindness and natural disaster as an excuse to crusade. There are many self-proclaimed kings in various places. They began to station troops to prepare for the situation. Undercurrents are surging. Once the extreme heat passes, the ancient Yan Kingdom will be another bloody storm.

At this moment, people are still hiding underground, struggling to survive.

In the Qinggu Mountains, after the grain harvest, the land in the valley continued to be planted with grain, and the crops in the mountains were shelved. The two consecutive harvests plus the previously stored grains could not be eaten by the family for several years, knowing that there would be no chance of winning. What a harvest, why waste this energy and time? We all simply stopped planting, what is in the valley is enough.

It was still drought-tolerant millet, soybeans, and a small amount of wheat. After being busy for many days in a row, everyone finally relaxed after sweating a lot.

Apart from being a little hot and not being able to stay outside for a long time, the days in the valley were leisurely and comfortable. After returning, Hua Jin lived a comfortable life for a few months and temporarily lay down. Anyway, she just couldn't hear anything outside the window. Why? How to get comfortable.

"Jin'er..." Hua Jin lay comfortably on the bed. There were large pieces of ice placed in the four corners of the room and in the middle. As soon as Daya came in, she couldn't help but rub her arms.

"Hiss, it's not cold!" Such a hot day could make her feel cold. She wouldn't believe it when she said it outside.

Hua Jin lifted her legs and sat up from the bed, "Sister-in-law, don't you know how to enjoy it? It's so comfortable!"

"If you don't understand, then you don't understand. Anyway, I feel cold."

As he spoke, he glanced at Hua Jin with admiration. This girl's body was really good. If she had stayed in such an environment for a long time, she would have caught a cold.

"Hey, let's go to the main room." It was cool, but it was a pity that she couldn't bear it. She was still comfortable in her own room.

"Okay," Hua Jin nodded at her, knowing that her sister-in-law asked her to do needlework. There were few things in the valley and the fields were busy. Apart from housework, the women also passed the time by doing some needlework and spinning.
