Teach my brother-in-law

In the eighth year of the Ming Dynasty, rebels rebelled in the northwest, and the Great Ming Dynasty General Zhenbei sent troops to the northwest. It took five years to put down the rebellion.Three days later, the emperor decreed that the Northwest would be exempted from grain tax for two years, and the whole country would celebrate.On that day, the imperial court made another decree that due to the war, the livelihood of the people on the Northwest Road was affected, their lives were devastated, and the refugees lost their homes. Appropriate compensation was given, and the scientific examination that was suspended due to the war was reopened. Tell the whole city, thank you for your kindness.

In the five years of war, more than 30 people were lost on the Northwest Road, and countless people were injured and disabled, mainly peasants and soldiers. Although the imperial court gave pensions, it was a drop in the bucket, and it still couldn't solve the current problem.

The tragedy is still repeating itself, but the protagonist of the tragedy is still the poor people.

Helan Mountain is majestic and majestic, with overlapping peaks and steep valleys. It has always been the fortress in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty, a place where military strategists must contend. The small town in Qibei at the foot of the mountain can be considered prosperous, with wine shops, restaurants, butcher shops and teahouses, jade shops and silk shops. People tend to be lively.

Going eastward for three miles from Qibei Town is the Xiushan Pass. There are two rows of high and low houses on both sides of the road towards the village. When entering the village, there are messy houses standing upright without any plan. Several farmers picked Walking in a hurry with a load.Walking from the village to the back mountain, within a cup of tea time, you will see a large yard, which is the old house of the Lin family. Walking in from the side of the big yard, you will see three dilapidated thatched cottages.

There are several boys standing in front of the thatched cottage, the oldest is 12 years old, and the youngest is only five years old.

There is a woman sitting under the thatched cottage in the yard. She should be about fifteen or sixteen years old. I know she has something on her mind.

The girl's name is Baihe.

well!Bai He sighed, looking at the children standing at the gate of the courtyard, they shouldn't be called children, because they were all her uncles.The second child is Lin Zizhong, the third child is Lin Ziqian, the fourth child is Lin Zihan, the fifth child is Lin Zijun, and the little tail behind her is sister-in-law Lin Moer.

I really don’t know whether it’s good or bad for me to come to this era called the Ming Dynasty from the world after 1000 years. Until now, Bai He’er feels that the things in the world are really wonderful. After I finally escaped that marriage, I can meet it even when I go abroad to relax. The plane exploded, and the soul traveled through 1000 years to possess Bai He'er.

It's just that she didn't know what crime Bai He'er suffered, she wanted to die at a young age, but in the end she was allowed to die, and she was allowed to meet this body again, so Bai He was reborn magnificently.The current Baihe is no longer the silly Baihe of the past, but the Baihe of our great double-degree senior white-collar worker thousands of years later.

"Sister-in-law, why hasn't eldest brother come back yet? Elder brother said he went to his aunt's house to borrow food, can we borrow it? Younger sister is hungry." Sister-in-law Lin Mo'er asked while climbing onto Bai He's lap.

"Mo'er, your elder brother should be back soon." Bai He said with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that there are bandits on the way to my aunt's house. What should I do, or I and Sanlang will go to pick up my brother." The second child Lin Zizhong said.

Bai He looked at Lin Zizhong, this uncle was almost 12 years old, but his height was like a teenager, and his body was weak, the third Lin Ziqian, the fourth Lin Zihan, and the fifth Lin Zijun, let alone, The body is obviously shorter than other families, and the complexion is yellow and thin. This is the malnutrition caused by long-term undereating.

After being reborn, Baihe gradually learned about this dynasty and some things at Xiushan Pass through observation and study, including some basic conditions of the Lin family.

It is the Ming Dynasty now, not the Ming Dynasty in history. This year is the 13th year of the Ming Dynasty. Xiushan Pass is under the jurisdiction of Ningzhou Prefecture. The entire Ningzhou Prefecture has a population of more than 16. From Ningzhou Prefecture, passing Helan Mountain to the west is the desert. Gobi, facing east is the Hetao area, facing south is the residence of Ningzhou Prefecture, which is known as Jiangnan outside the Great Wall, and facing north is not part of the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Because it is close to Helan Mountain, the cold wind from the north is blocked by Helan Mountain when it reaches here, so the spring here is as warm as ever for three seasons a year. In addition, there are rivers passing by here, there are many fields, and the population is quite large. Eat enough every day, but you can't starve to death.This year, the imperial court has been exempted from tax for two years. If the weather goes well in the coming year, it is estimated that it will be another bumper harvest year.

The Lin family used to be a big family in Xiushan Pass. The old man of the Lin family, Lin Dapao, and his wife, Xiao Shi, had five sons and one daughter. Jun, the last youngest daughter, Lin Moer.

The Lin family has a large house in Xiushankou, with three entrances and three exits, more than ten upper rooms, and dozens of miscellaneous rooms in the front yard and backyard. The long-term workers help take care of the family affairs, and there are caravans taking goods outside, and the fields are also rented out to outsiders, and the whole family can eat well by collecting the rent every year.Lin Dapao was also in the business of selling goods outside, traveling from south to north, and making friends with many people.When Mo'er was born, the Lin family was considered a super landlord in Xiushan Pass.

Unexpectedly, the good days didn't last for a few days. First, Lin Dapao fell into the water when he was out shipping goods and fell into a serious illness.The original Bai He married at this time to celebrate the joy, but the joy did not arrive. Two months after the wedding, the Xiao family became ill due to anxiety, and soon followed Lin Dapao.

The newly married Lin Zicai, as the eldest brother, took on the life of the big family and became the head of the family.It's a pity that Lin Zi is a weak boy, who reads and writes at home all year round, and can't lift his hands or shoulders.First of all, the business of selling goods at home fell apart, so I had to disperse the children who were selling goods, and cut off this livelihood.

After seeing that Lin Dapao and the Xiao family were gone, several relatives in the nearby family looked for opportunities to make trouble, entangled some wave households, and seized dozens of mu of Lin's land.

It is said that Lin Zicai was only 14 years old at the time. First, his father died, and he got married for the sake of joy. Soon after, his mother died. I didn't do anything busy, and I fell ill in a fit of rage.The younger brothers and sisters below went to the doctor, and the doctor said that there was no cure, but Lin Zi was so lucky that he woke up after taking some herbal medicine for a few days, and he was fine after half a month of recuperation.

Unexpectedly, bad things kept happening, Lin Zi was only a few days old, and someone from the government came to arrest him. After asking, he was told that someone had reported that Lin Dapao had lost his goods during the shipment and wanted the Lin family to pay for it.The matter of Lin Dapao's death fell to Lin Zicai, and when he went to the government, they produced evidence, in black and white, that the batch of goods was said to be worth more than 500 taels of silver, but Lin Zicai could not afford the money, so he divided the Lin family compound with dozens of people. The mu of land was mortgaged to others.

It's true that Ma Shan was ridden by others, and Ren Shan was bullied by others. Fortunately, before Lin Zicai mortgaged the Lin family's compound, he sent the only old long-term workers left by the family to open a piece of land on the back of the mountain and build three thatched cottages. , and scattered all the money on his body to send several old long-term workers to find out where they came from.Then the family moved to these three thatched cottages.

Originally, I didn't have much money in hand, but after distributing it to a few old long-term workers, I had even less money, and only five or six acres of land were left.No matter how frugal the family was, within a few months, there was not much left. Finally, when the food was about to run out the day before yesterday, Lin Zi went to the distant relatives and aunt's house to borrow food.

It's just that Lin Zicai didn't know that when he left, Bai He fell down and died.But now this Bai He is a soul from later generations who traveled through time and possessed her.

The remaining five mu of land in the family was not good at farming because Lin Zicai and others were not good at farming, so they rented it out to others. This year, the new grain was collected and the rent was supposed to be collected, but until now there is no sign of the Xiao family. It is estimated that they are looking at the Lin family. In the middle of the road, the brothers of the Lin family are all underage except for Lin Zicai, so they bully the Lin family.

I don't know where the head of the family has gone at this time, the second child wants to take the third child to look for him, but it is getting dark now, how to look for it, and where to look for it, after all, it is not good.

After comforting the second and the others, Bai He went into the stove at the back, and there were only two handfuls of rice left in the jar, which was only enough to cook a pot of thin rice porridge tonight, so it might be a bit difficult to get full.

Sighing again, Bai He felt that since she came to this era, she has sighed the most in the past few days, not because of anything else, not to mention how rich her life was before she was reborn, so it's okay to have enough food and clothing.But in this era, eating has become the biggest problem.

It is a wise saying that food is the paramount necessity of the people.

When it got dark, Bai He washed the last two handfuls of rice and put them in the pot, and added two tablespoons of water.The second child was more sensible, so he helped to light the fire, and the aroma of rice soup wafted from the kitchen soon after.

"Second brother, your elder brother may not be able to come back tonight. He probably won't be able to come back until tomorrow. Do you know how far it is to my aunt's house?" Bai He circled the iron spoon in the pot, trying not to let it go The rice at the bottom of the pot was burnt.

"Sister-in-law, will our family have to run out of food tomorrow? What should we do? Sister-in-law, I will take the third child to dig wild vegetables in the mountains tomorrow." The second child is older and more sensible, saying these words warms Bai He's heart warm.

"Second brother, it's almost winter now, did you ever dig wild vegetables on the mountain?" Now Ningzhou Mansion has entered late autumn, and winter will be here in a few days, and there are still wild vegetables to dig on the mountain.

"Sister-in-law, I went to the mountains with my third brother last year. I know that there is a place where there are wild vegetables, but the road is a little farther away, but I am not afraid. The third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother and sixth sister are still young, but the third brother is more courageous. I will go tomorrow." So I went into the mountains with my third brother to dig some wild vegetables, and we must not let the younger brothers and sisters go hungry." The second brother said firmly.

He is really a sensible uncle, he already has the feeling of an adult before he is 12 years old, which is good, in fact, Bai He is not much older, he is only 15 years old, but Bai He's mental age is already in his twenties , Seeing this scene, I also felt a little jealous and wanted to cry.

It is said that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. Now that the parents-in-law are gone, and the head of the family has gone out to borrow food for several days and has not returned, the family depends entirely on Bai He.Seeing that her uncle is so sensible, she also has a firm idea that she must endure this hard life.

When eating, the second brother only ate half a bowl of porridge and said he was full, and even the third child ate less, only the younger ones ate more, because the older ones wanted to save food for the younger ones Bai He couldn't bear it, and persuaded the two brothers to eat more, but the two insisted on not eating.Mo'er fell asleep soon after eating a bowl.

After setting up Mo'er, he called his second brother to the stove and asked about the tenants.It turned out that the tenant's surname was Xiao, and he was a distant relative of the Xiao family, who lived at Xiushankou together.It's just that after these things happened to the Lin family, the land was either seized or mortgaged, and the remaining few acres of land were given to this person as tenants.But the Xiao family is so unreasonable, they have bought new food this year, and even now they haven't sent renters over.

Bai He inquired carefully about the situation of the tenant Xiao's family, only to learn that the Xiao family's reputation outside the country is not very good, but the Xiao family has many descendants, and if it is said that farming can be regarded as a crop. Every year, there are a lot of fields in the village, and a lot of grain is produced, but I have a bad habit of delaying the rent. When I meet a tougher family, I will give it away after a few days. When the population is thin It's not surprising that this year delays next year.

Originally, when the Lin family and Lin Dapao were there, the Xiao family did not dare to wait for a day, and sent them over after collecting the food, because Lin Dapao had a hot temper, was not easy to speak, and had some kung fu in his hands and feet.But it can't work now, the Lin family is in such a situation, it means that they have the intention of delaying the rent or not paying the rent.

This renter must come back, otherwise how will he survive this winter.After the second brother left, Bai He leaned against the fire and thought about it, almost falling asleep.
