I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

At that time, Zhang Siyuan just listened to it, but didn't take it to heart.

After all, the back mountain is so big, it's hard to say whether we can really find the water source.

But seeing Zhu Qiuqi's excited appearance, Zhang Siyuan let her go.

But he never expected that Zhu Qiuqi would actually find a source of water, and it was such a big lotus pond.

No one in their village grows lotus, which means that this lotus pond is formed naturally.

As for the lotus inside, I don't know who planted it.

But looking at the dilapidated appearance of this lotus pond, Zhang Siyuan knew that the lotus planters had probably forgotten about this lotus pond.

"My strength alone is limited, so I only dug up so much. Now that the two of you are back, we will store more fresh lotus roots for our family."

It's not that Zhu Qiuqi doesn't want to share the lotus root with people in Xiao Zhangzhuang immediately, but that the Tian family's current situation is special, and she has to think more about the Tian family.

What's more, Zhu Qiuqi has not forgotten the attitude of the villagers towards her and the rumors spread before.

She has never been a person who repays grievances with virtue, nor is she a bodhisattva.

Whoever treats her well and who treats her badly, Zhu Qiuqi has her own account in mind.

It is said that she did not have much conflict with the villagers, but compared to the Tian family, the relationship between Xiaozhuangzhuang and her is indeed far away.

Now that she has discovered this lotus pond, she naturally hopes that the Tian family can reserve more for herself in advance.

It won't be too late for her to tell Yu Lizheng and others about the lotus pond when the Tian family is fully prepared.

"Brother Tian, ​​please get some lotus roots for your family first. I'll talk to Lizheng about the lotus pond here later in the afternoon."

Tian Liang immediately understood what Zhu Qiuqi meant, and felt even more grateful to Zhu Qiuqi and his wife for a while.

Several people worked together to dig out part of the lotus roots, and Tian Liang hurried home with a basket of lotus roots on his back.

When he came up again, the old man of the Tian family and Aunt Tian followed behind him.

"Auntie, you are here, pack up these lotus roots quickly. Let Brother Tian make a few more trips to save some lotus roots for the family."

Seeing Zhu Qiuqi greeting her, Aunt Tian didn't know what to say for a while.

He could only hold Zhu Qiuqi's hand, and patted her with red eyes.

"Good boy, auntie...thank you, auntie."

If Zhu Qiuqi hadn't dug up these lotus roots this time, she really didn't know what to do.

She even made plans to dig wild vegetables every day. If there were no wild vegetables, she would go to the town wharf with her son to find work.

But now with these lotus roots dug out by Zhu Qiuqi, at least the family no longer need to be hungry.

Zhu Qiuqi looked at Aunt Tian's side and felt uncomfortable.

Aunt Tian was such a strong person before, but now she is forced by life.

"Auntie, what are you talking about? I used to be ignorant. If the two children, Chen Chuan and Girl Jing, hadn't been taken care of by you, I wouldn't even dare to think what would happen to the two children."

Thinking of what Yuanshen did, Zhu Qiuqi gritted her teeth angrily, how could she be such an idiot.

It's ridiculous that he doesn't even love his own children, but instead loves that natal nephew!

With the hypothesis of the second elder of the Tian family, a lot of lotus roots were dug out.

Aunt Tian was a little worried when she saw so many lotus roots, "Qiuqi, we dug up so many lotus roots, what should we do if they go bad after a long time?"

"Auntie, you can store lotus root for a longer period of time if you marinate it."

Aunt Tian was even more embarrassed when she heard this.

"This... I'm afraid it will take a lot of salt."

Zhu Qiuqi was taken aback for a moment, seeing Aunt Tian's embarrassed expression, she suddenly realized that salt in this era is also a rare thing.

It's just that I don't know if this Great Zhou Dynasty can make salt privately, she will know some ways to dry salt by then.If she could, she could also make fine salt.

When cooking at home before, she found that the salt here was very coarse.

In order to make the food more delicious, she deliberately took out the previously stored salt from the system.

Now that Aunt Tian mentioned the salt issue again, Zhu Qiuqi felt that she should also ask Zhang Siyuan about it.

"If Auntie is worried about salt, then don't worry. I brought back a lot of salt from Zhu's house before, and our family won't be able to use that much in a while, so Auntie will use it first."

Aunt Tian also remembered that when Zhu Qiuqi went to Zhu's house before, she brought back a lot of things.

Although there are only a few big vats in the eyes of outsiders, only she knows exactly what Zhu Qiuqi took.

But Aunt Tian would not sympathize with Zhu's family. The people in Xiaozhangzhuang all saw how Zhu's family oppressed and humiliated Zhu Qiuqi for so many years.

Not to mention just those salt and big vats, even if the Zhu family's house is emptied, I'm afraid they won't be able to repay the debt they owe to Zhu Qiuqi!

Looking at Zhu Qiuqi's sincere eyes, Aunt Tian also knew that Zhu Qiuqi was being polite to her, so she nodded in agreement.

In order not to be seen by the villagers in advance, Zhu Qiuqi and Tian's family carried the lotus roots to the backyard.

Fortunately, both families were on the edge of the village, and no one saw their movements.

Seeing that the big vats at home were filled with lotus roots, Aunt Tian made the family stop.

"Qiuqi, we have enough lotus roots in our house. Aren't you going to tell Lizheng about the lotus pond? Now let everyone see that you found this lotus pond, and they will remember you OK."

Aunt Tian saw a lot of people standing in front of Lizheng's house just now, and Aunt Tian also wanted to take this opportunity to make Zhu Qiuqi feel better in front of the villagers.

Although Zhu Qiuqi has changed her sex now, they know what Zhu Qiuqi was like before.

The impression of Zhu Qiuqi will not be changed because of Zhu Qiuqi's sex change. Only when Zhu Qiuqi is involved in everyone's interests, will everyone know Zhu Qiuqi again.

Zhu Qiuqi heard Aunt Tian's proposal and knew that Aunt Tian was doing it for her own good, so she nodded and agreed.

"Don't worry, Auntie, I told Lizheng about the lotus pond. At that time, each family will share equally, and you can still get a lot of lotus roots."

Aunt Tian was happy when she heard the words, but there was a bit of bitterness in her smile.

"It's hard to think about so much for you."

With such a big event happening at home, Aunt Tian was also in a mess these days, always feeling overwhelmed.

If it weren't for the help of Zhu Qiuqi and the elders of the Zhang family, she really didn't know what stupid things she would do.

Thinking that she almost bought her granddaughter yesterday, Aunt Tian felt a bit of self-blame in her heart.
