Hard work

Chapter 276
This year's autumn and winter are destined to be difficult.

The animals and plants on the mountain have become less and less because of the overexploitation of the people in the village.It's not that no one in the village has discovered the problem of overdraft on the back mountain, but they can't do anything about it.Now that he realizes that his behavior will affect the back mountain, he can't persuade the whole village not to go to the back mountain.

Some people do have food in their homes, and they can survive without going to the back mountains to find food.But there are some families who didn't have much food in their homes, and they were looted by the victims.If they are not allowed to go to the back mountain, other people in the village must come up with something to keep them alive.

In this village, there is no such enlightened person.

It is that a group of people no longer go to the back mountain to find food, but seeing others go there every day, they can't help it soon, and run up the back mountain.

The Zhao family is relatively calm, after all, Zang Lang has the ability to go to the deep mountains, even if he doesn't fight with everyone now, the food at home is barely enough.What's more, some vegetables were harvested from the land that was secretly reclaimed before.It can't be said that it is a big harvest, but it can be eaten as it is, and it can be eaten for a period of time.

Orchid separated some and put them in the cellar, ready to eat them all winter.Taking advantage of the good weather, the rest are made into dried vegetables bit by bit, and they can be dealt with when the next year is green.

But Zhao Mumian, who lives in the back, seems to go to the back mountain every day.After Zang Lang had left, she went out with other young people in the village.

Lei Lei was left alone in the hut every day.

Lan Hua'er naturally didn't care what happened behind them, but Goudan was very happy.Every day at noon, he would take some time to go to the thatched shed at the back, talk to Lei Lei, and it is said that he is still teaching Lei Lei to write.But Lei Lei was not interested in this, so Goudan just said that Lei Lei was not talented at home.

Gaihua went to the town again and said that the situation in the town is not very good.Due to the influx of many disaster victims, the current town is somewhat similar to the original Aozi Village, surrounded by those disaster victims.We can neither ignore those victims, nor dare to let those victims go too far in the town.

However, the town is still surrounded by a wall after all, and the life of the people in the town has not been greatly affected.Those small villages outside the town that are not far or near are the places that are really affected.

Before, the town would distribute some relief food every day, but later the granary began to empty, and the victims of the disaster began to hide more and more, so the relief food was no longer distributed every day.Maybe every three to five days, they will be dispatched abroad again.Even so, it was better than not being able to find food in the surrounding mountains, so the victims gathered outside the town not only did not disperse, but gathered more and more.

When Gaihua left, these victims hadn't dispersed yet. They sat around the city wall in twos and threes, waiting for food to be distributed in the town.

"Those people don't look very well, they don't even look energetic." After Gaihua returned to the village, she told Lan Huaer privately.He probably didn't want to say this in front of Goudan. When the family was together, he didn't say a word. I went to the side to see if I could get something to eat. But the people in the town didn’t look like that, and it seemed that they didn’t even have Hun’er. I guess it’s because there is really no place to Looking for something to eat. They knew there would be food in the town, so they didn't move at all, just sat like that."

"...Isn't that... not really good?" Lan Hua'er only imagined it for a while, and felt that such a scene was really scary.Such a large group of people, it is said that there are much more victims than those surrounding Aozi Village, all sitting outside the town, forming a large circle, with dull eyes, as if someone had emptied their souls, just Sitting blankly waiting for food.

No matter how you think about it, it's very scary. It's the same scene as those zombie biofilms she saw on TV before.

Naturally, there was no business to do in the town.

Gaihua originally thought that she would go to the town to see if the bodyguard bureau had started to work, but after she went there, she realized that the town was besieged by disaster victims, and naturally no foreign businessmen were willing to approach this place.They didn't even dare to come with some caravans who had promised to run here.

No matter how many bodyguards you brought along, you might not be able to keep the goods if you encounter so many victims looting, and you might even risk your life on it.This kind of business is really losing money. Where anyone is willing to do it, they will naturally go far away, and even the supplies in the town can't keep up.

The school in the town had planned to re-open before, but it turned out that it couldn't be done well, so it had to be put aside.

Gaihua specially found the school, and the master there recognized Gaihua, so he wrote a letter and asked him to take it with him.It is said that if the environment here has been bad, Goudan can take the exam directly if he goes to the city with such a letter.This is directly giving the recommended position to Goudan.

But the gentleman also said that he doesn't know what will happen in the future.This recommendation letter is good now, but it may not be so in two years.

Maybe, people outside don't even remember him as a gentleman.

It is said that when the husband said this, his expression was calm, and there was not much sadness in it.

But Goudan still decided to wait.It is said that the time with the husband is still short, and there are many things that have not been learned, so there is no need to rush to take some exams.

Changing flowers and orchids naturally respects Goudan's own opinion.Since he felt that it was not yet time, the family would not force him to go outside.Even if he decides not to take the exam now, it's not a big deal.There are fields and land at home, and if you turn back and farm in the village, you will not be able to survive as usual.

Liu Sheng's items were selling very well, and they were all sold out within two days.In the end, only two hairpins were left unsold.It is said that he didn't insist on selling it anymore, and everyone in the village said that he kept it for his future wife. Liu Sheng didn't say anything, but just smiled and put away the two hairpins.

Lan Hua'er felt that it was probably Liu Sheng who wanted to give her as a gift, but failed in the end.But she naturally couldn't ask Liu Sheng any more, and even stopped Zang Lang from watching the excitement.

Zang Lang simply scratched his head, "I'm not interested in excitement."

When Lan Huaer thought about it, she felt the same way.If it had been different, maybe Zang Lang would still want to go over to see what Liu Sheng was doing.But now that Lan Hua'er and him had agreed in private, he was no longer worried that the little lady would be snatched away by others, and now he was even less interested in watching the excitement.After all, this person is not a person who likes to join in the fun.Zang Lang made Lan Huaer feel very relieved.

When winter was approaching, Aru finally gave birth to the baby.When she gave birth, because the time was wrong, there was not even a stable woman in the village, and there was a lot of trouble for a long time.Many people in the village hurried over when they knew about it, and gathered around the door, and there were some people who came up with ideas.

To say that the only person in the village with some medical skills is Yang Langzhong.But he is an old man after all, it is against the rules to let him in to deliver Aru's baby.What's more, he is only a doctor, not a stable woman, and has never delivered a baby.He may not know more than Lan Hua'er about driving ducks to the shelves at this moment.

Yang Langzhong could only talk about possible situations outside, and directed Lan Hua'er and Tie Sheng's mother from a distance, boiled some hot water in the room, and then prepared various things.

Although there are no stable women in the village, there are women who have given birth after all.Many people have given birth more than once, and they are even more skilled than Yang Langzhong.Seeing that Mr. Yang was in a mess, as if there was nothing organized, those women volunteered to enter the house to help.

This is a natural delivery for Aru, thanks to the fact that she paid great attention to protection and exercise when she was pregnant with this child, and often looked for Yang Lang's good pulse.After tossing and tossing for a long time, the baby was born. It was a little boy, and he was so happy.

Although the winter was cold this year, this kid finally made the village feel happy.

Since the rainstorm, it seems that no children have been born in the village, and no women have conceived children. However, several villagers died because of the rainstorm.As a result, since the boy from Tiesheng's family was born, there have been reports of pregnancy in the village one after another, even the girl who just married into Aozi Village was also pregnant.

So everyone in the village said that the boy from Tiesheng's family was a boy who gave away his son Guanyin, and they spread the word again.

The number of people who delivered firewood to Tie Sheng's family also increased.

Originally, Gaihua was still discussing with Tiesheng, saying that this year’s winter was particularly cold, and Tiesheng’s family had just added a boy, so he didn’t have time to spare, so when Gaihua went up the mountain, he would bring more firewood for Tiesheng—that’s sort of In the past, Tiesheng's family has been taking care of Lan Hua'er and Goudan.Unexpectedly, people in the village are willing to drag some wood for Tiesheng's family after going up the mountain, and even this effort is saved.

Gaihua had to ask Lan Huaer to make some delicious food occasionally, and he would deliver it himself.

Naturally, Tie Sheng's family did not lack such food.However, the dishes cooked by Lanhuaer are indeed exquisite in the village, and everyone loves to eat them.Since she was a little lady, Aru has often gone to Lan Huaer's place to ask for food, and now that it is delivered to her, it can be regarded as satisfying her hunger.

Life in Aozi Village was not very easy, but it wasn't too bad either.

Zhao's family harvested the vegetables from the backyard, and they had enough food to store. Occasionally, they would lend some food to those who couldn't survive, and they would also lend some to Zhao Mumian's two siblings.

With them taking the lead, everyone in the village borrowed food from each other, so this winter is not going to be difficult.
