The worst time travel, surviving seven years of famine

The vegetables were picked up and then eaten.

Since everyone picked different wild vegetables, and some were even mixed together, Gu Liang could only manually sort them one by one, and asked everyone to do the sorting tomorrow and not mix them together again.

The children nodded one after another, indicating that they could.

Time flew quickly, and it took Gu Liang half an hour to sort out these wild vegetables. There were more than 20 varieties of wild vegetables in more than a dozen baskets. There were three or four baskets of more varieties, such as water celery, and only a handful of less varieties, such as wild chives.

But Gu Liang didn't care. Anyway, his demand was large, and the more varieties, the better he would be in the famine three years later.

It was almost dusk. When Gu Liang sorted the vegetables, most of the children at the entrance of the cave had left, because if he went home later, his parents would scold him. Gu Liang could take this opportunity to put the wild vegetables into his space. After the vegetables were sorted and put into his space, his space looked a little complicated, a bit like a stall in the later vegetable market.

However, Gu Liang left a bunch of Chinese toon sprouts outside, ready to take them home. In the later world, one catty of Chinese toon sprouts could be sold for a hundred yuan, but unfortunately in ancient times, it was only a kind of wild vegetable, and not many people patronized it.

It was almost time to go home. If he went back later, the meal at home would be cooked.

Gu Liang just went down the hill and met the little girl at noon. She was carrying a basket in one hand and was walking towards here with difficulty. The red rope tied on her head was loose, and there were some dead branches and leaves on her hair.

Seeing Gu Liang coming down, she hurriedly called Gu Liang and asked carefully if she had missed the time and whether she could still exchange now.

Gu Liang replied that of course she could, any time in the next two days. Hearing this, the little girl's dry mouth suddenly raised, very excited. It turned out that the little girl wasted time to collect two baskets of wild vegetables. When she came over, she met the children who were returning. She thought that the exchange had ended and was about to give up hope.

Gu Liang looked at the wild vegetables in the girl's basket. There were also many varieties, but they were all tied in bundles, very neatly, with water droplets on them, and it seemed that they had all been washed. There was no need to pick them, and it could be seen that a lot of thought was put in.

"Do you want to exchange both baskets of wild vegetables?"

"Yes, I picked two baskets, so I was delayed to eat them. I'm sorry," the girl said apologetically.

"It's nothing. You came a little late because you sorted and tied them up. I'll give you the candy." So Gu Liang gave the remaining two pieces of candy to the girl.

The girl opened the leaf and saw that there was an extra half piece inside. She looked up at Gu Liang in confusion. Just as she was about to ask, Gu Liang answered: "You have cleaned and tied these wild vegetables, so this half piece will be a reward."

"Thank you." At this time, the little girl's eyebrows and eyes were already smiling, and tears were faintly in her phoenix eyes. It can be seen that she was very excited.

"Eat it, it's delicious." Gu Liang said

The girl was reluctant to put it in her mouth, but put the leaves into the basket.

"Why don't you eat it? Do you want to keep it for eating?" After all, maltose is a rare thing for ordinary farm children, and it is normal to keep it for eating.

"No, my grandma is sick and has been saying that there is no taste in her mouth. I plan to leave it for her to eat." The little girl sighed and replied.

"It's okay, you can also exchange it with wild vegetables tomorrow. It doesn't matter if you eat a piece," Gu Liang comforted.

"Really? Thank you, Gu Liang." The girl became excited again after hearing what Gu Liang said, then opened the leaves and put her hand in front of a piece of maltose, but then she retracted it, hesitated for a moment, and then took up the half piece of maltose and put it in her mouth.

"So sweet, this is maltose." The little girl said tiredly, "I have never eaten sugar since I was a child."

Looking at the little girl like this, Gu Liang felt bad. Obviously, the farmers have worked hard enough, but they are still on the poverty line, and the children have never eaten sugar. Now the year is good, it is like this. If there is a famine, the scene is really unimaginable.

After parting with the little girl, Gu Liang returned to the Gu family with a bunch of Chinese toon. At this time, Gu Liang's second aunt was cutting pig grass at the door. After seeing Gu Liang coming back, Second Aunt was a little resentful about the job of cutting grass for pigs, so she said: "Liang, I'm not saying anything bad about you, you come back so late after playing, and you don't have to work at home. The young masters of landlords live like this too."

Gu Liang knew that Second Aunt had always had some complaints about him, but they were all under the same roof, and Second Uncle

He is also an honest and decent man. Most of the time, he pretended not to hear it. But today, the second aunt came to provoke him for no reason. He is not a soft persimmon. How can he not be angry when he is scolded every day.

"Yes, aunt, if you don't have to work, you are the son of the landlord. The second aunt is now feeding pigs, so she is the old maid of the landlord, who specializes in feeding pigs and cleaning feces." Gu Lao said sarcastically. No matter what era, slaves are looked down upon, and calling others slaves is naturally an insult.

"You, you, you, you..." Usually when Li said sourly about Gu Liang, Gu Liang was mostly silent. Today, he suddenly retorted, and Li couldn't find a word to refute for a while.

Just when Li's face turned red and she was about to say something to refute Gu Liang's disrespect for his elders, the loud voice of Mrs. Gu came from behind the house, "Li, if you feel that you have not done enough work, you can exchange with your sister-in-law tomorrow. Tomorrow you can go to weave cloth and let your sister-in-law do your work. You are such a big person, but you still argue with a child about doing some work. You are the one who does the least work in the whole family."

The voice from behind the house became louder and louder, as loud as a bell, making people feel that Mrs. Gu can live for several dozen years without any problem.

Mrs. Gu looked at Li with a gloomy face. Li was originally from the same village as her. When she was arranging a marriage for her second son, she wanted to find someone who knew her well, so she chose someone from the same village.

At that time, the matchmaker said a lot of good things, but she didn't know what was going on until she married him. She was lazy and slippery, and she was always a little bit wrong in everything she did. When she wove cloth, the thread and needle always broke and couldn't be used. When she washed dishes, she either didn't brush the bottom of the bowl or the pot. At that time, I thought that she was unskilled because her parents loved her at home, and she would be fine after being taught. Later, I realized that she was just pretending to be lazy. The cloth she wove for her own family was poor, but the cloth she wove for her mother's family was so fast and good that even her sister-in-law couldn't compare with her.

Although Mrs. Gu despised her, she couldn't say anything since she had married her home. She usually asked her to do some easy chores, which was considered very easy in the village. However, she was so slow in doing these chores.

"Mom, I don't mean that. I'm busy all day. Let my sister-in-law do the weaving. I can't weave as well as my sister-in-law." Li looked at Mrs. Gu with a smile and chopped the pig grass quickly. In fact, Li was still cursing Mrs. Gu in her heart, thinking that Mrs. Gu had always been targeting her, and the reason for targeting was that she felt that she couldn't give birth to a son.

Who would have thought that the reason why Mrs. Gu treated her badly was just because she was lazy and sly.
