Disastrous year!Before the whole family is wiped out, a little blessing falls from the sky!

The rest of the villagers also responded one after another.

"Yes, I don't need to pay for my corn, it's free!"

"Crops can be planted again. We can't let the brothers guarding the border go hungry! My family will also give it to me for free!"

He Xiong quickly gave everyone a fist salute and thanked them repeatedly with an excited look. At the end, he said, "Thank you folks for supporting the border guard army, but our general said that it is too hard for everyone to grow the food after a year of busy work. No matter what No matter what, we can’t let everyone suffer in vain, money must be given! Please don’t refuse, folks!”

The villagers naturally refused and kept shaking their heads.

"Brother He, don't be polite. We can't go to the border to kill the enemy, but we can still do it by sending some food so that the brothers don't go to the battlefield hungry!"

"That is, if the enemy breaks through the border, we will be the first to be unlucky! We support you, but we also support ourselves!"

In this way, while insisting on sending it, he tried his best to refuse it. In the end, Mr. Tai and Mr. Tai discussed it for a few words and then spoke.

"Okay, I have discussed this matter with your sixth uncle. Each family's corn will still be sold to the border guards at the original price. But if any family feels rich and gives an extra ten or twenty pounds, we won't stop them. .

"It's a good thing that everyone is willing to express their feelings. Brother He, don't refuse. We often come and go. If you have something to do in the future, Brother He will definitely not watch the fun, right?"

"Of course!" He Xiong patted his chest and responded happily, "Taijia Village is our second home. How can we not ignore anything at home?"

After that, he asked the soldiers loudly, "Is that right, brothers?"

"Yes! We have eaten well and slept well these past few days, and have gotten along well with the folks in the village. We really don't want to leave."

"When I am discharged from the army, I will come to the village to settle down!"

"And I!"

The soldiers responded one after another, all sincerely.

Most of them also come from poor backgrounds and have seen too many fights and quarrels for survival. There are indeed too few places as united and prosperous as Taijia Village.

If I could leave the frontier army and settle down here, marry a wife and have children, live a life full of energy and meat to eat together, I would feel happy just thinking about it!
The villagers were also happy when they heard it, and they puffed up their chests unconsciously, feeling extremely proud and proud.

Today's good days are definitely due to their hard work and efforts!

At this point, a small storm has passed.

The next day, Mr. Tai took a carriage to Liujiacun, Zhangjiacun and Sanchahe and told them about the general's reprimand.

Naturally, the three village chiefs also expressed their dissatisfaction with the border guards and the general, so they happily agreed to deliver the corn seeds to the border guards first.

After all, the people in the North are more familiar and trustworthy than the border guards, the generals, not the court, not the drunken bullshit emperor sitting on the throne!

They are willing to support the border guards, just to support their own lives and work in peace and contentment, rather than to protect the dignitaries in Kyoto with their nostrils turned upward!

That night, Mr. Tai San and Mr. Tai decided to start the harvest tomorrow and the village would collectively harvest corn.

All men, women and children, including He Xiong and others, went to the fields together and tried their best to harvest.As for the rest of the food for each family, they will slowly go home to sort it out after the corn is harvested.

Maybe they knew that the delicious food at the bottom of the mountain would be cut off, but in the middle of the night, all the wild boars and blind bears on the mountain actually came down the mountain.A dozen wild boars of various sizes and three blind bears were dispatched in one go!

Because the harvest was about to happen tomorrow, everyone was a little lax about patrolling, and they were almost caught off guard by these forest overlords.

Fortunately, He Xiong and others are there. They are worried about four meals a day. The Tai family always buys chicken, fish, meat and eggs. They spend too much money, but the meat and meat are delivered to their door!

After a chase, the area was bustling with excitement, and both the wild boar and the blind bear were left behind.

In the faint morning light, the wild boar was carried to the grass shed, and a few old men and women with bad legs and feet took the initiative to take over the task.

Bloodletting, scalding and shaving, cutting up bones and flesh, and boiling water in pots were all done in one go, and everyone just waited to eat the meat.

Of the three blind bears, two of them resisted fiercely and their furs did not sell well, so they were directly put on the carriage and sent to the city to be sold for money. Then all the money was exchanged for rice, flour, oil and salt, soy sauce and vinegar.

The most cowardly blind bear had its skin skinned and waited for it to be tanned. He took it back to make a gift for the general, and the bear meat was dried in the sun for fresh food to the brothers on the border!
The distribution is clear and clear!
When the sun rose over the east mountain, Mr. Tai waved his pipe pot, and everyone rushed into the corn field smelling the strong aroma of meat!

The corn stalks, which were as tall as one person, were quickly knocked down by the strong laborers. The women bent down and pulled out the golden corn stalks from the stalks and threw them into piles.

The old people drove the carriage slowly in the ditch, and the little children threw corn sticks into the carriage compartment. Occasionally they wiped their noses or lifted their pants when they were tired.

Even the old man who has been semi-paralyzed at home all year round carries a small, finely woven basket and crawls in the field, picking up the fallen corns one by one, for fear that they will be lost in the ruts...

People take food as their heaven!
This moment is vividly reflected in the boundless fields, in the sweat beads of every farmer, and in the rustling autumn wind!
When the sun rises directly overhead, people in the fields begin to return to the entrance of the village in batches to eat.

The wild boar meat had been stewed all morning, and even the roughest shreds of meat were rotten.

Served with green vegetables from the garden, it is oily and fragrant.

There is also enough steamed buns with two noodles!
Everyone shakes off their cheeks and enjoys the best comfort after labor!
Mr. Tai San's voice was hoarse as he yelled, his white beard fluttering in the wind, and he kept giving instructions.

"Eat [-]% full, don't hold your throat high, be careful to vomit when you bend down! When the harvest is finished, there will be something better to reward everyone! Don't delay your work at this time, you have something to think about!"

The villagers and soldiers responded one after another!
After eating one batch, go to work in the fields for another batch, and come back for another batch...

Although each family has grown corn, they only have two or three acres of land, and it is enough to just pile the corn sticks collected in the yard.

But there were too many Tai family members, so in the end they were simply sent to the door of the row house, with He Shan and He Xiong watching, and their safety was most assured.

The young and old of the Tai family were equally busy, even Erya and Chunhong had to help cook and deliver water.

Zhuzhu wanted to go to the ground, but no one agreed, for fear that they would not be able to take care of her and the sharp straw would prick her.

Yang Lihua called Sesame Ball and kept a close eye on her fat girl, taking her with her wherever she went to the warehouse or to Dazaoer.

Liu Dongniang always loved her niece, and Xiao Bai Ya felt sorry for the fat girl, so she specially pulled the wild boar meat into shreds and made a bowl of shredded pork noodles.

The fat girl sat on the fire bed in the hut, happily eating most of the food, and the rest was just cheap sesame balls.

By the time Liu Dongniang thought about putting away the bowl, the fat girl had already fallen asleep with the sesame ball on her pillow... (End of this chapter)
