Of course Fang Tianlin wouldn't mind about such a trivial matter.In the final analysis, he still didn't understand the situation and made a big and small oolong.However, it's really not his fault.Originally, he was not from Guangyan Village. Although his family background could no longer be described as poor, at least he didn't need to be so careful about food and water.

Do as the Romans do, Fang Tianlin can't do too much.In the morning, he was just out of habit, and when he scolded casually, he was scolded by his mother-in-law. Although he was in a daze, he couldn't hear what he was scolding, at least he knew that someone scolded him because of it.He also didn't want to argue with his elders about it, so he probably had no reason to say it, so he had to admit it.

Fang Tianlin and the others came late, and by the time they finished washing their clothes, there were not many people around the pier.However, the pier at the Qingshui pool is small, and many people are still queuing up for rinsing.With nothing to do, a large group of girls and daughters-in-law gathered together to chat their teeth, and the scene was quite lively.

Fang Tianlin stood up and glanced casually. Everyone thought that they had already gotten used to such a scene. Many people were carrying small stools, sewing baskets, etc., chatting and doing non-stop work at the same time. This is really a good balance between work and leisure. .

Fang Tianlin knows how to wash clothes and cook some simple meals, so it’s not necessary for him to mend clothes. He probably didn’t light up this skill point, so he couldn’t master it at all.

Most of the peasants were nimble, so Fang Tianlin didn't wait long before it was his turn to rinse.He thought the water was dirty, so he repeated it twice, which attracted a few people's attention.He didn't care either, he didn't want to live in the eyes of the world, it was too tiring, and he wasn't too out of line, it didn't bother him if he was said a few times that it was not painful.

Liu Cheng glanced at Fang Tianlin enviously, and couldn't help passing an extra stream of water than before, with a little joy on her face, and in her heart she shouted for San Sister-in-law's actions: "Sister-in-law San, you're doing well, that's how it should be!"With such a third sister-in-law, in the future, she will follow behind her in doing things more, and her life will definitely be easier than before.

Fang Tianlin didn't know Liu Cheng's thoughts at all, he went home with a basin of clothes, seeing that Liu Cheng was struggling to carry it, he stopped to rest for a while, and simply exchanged with him.He didn't wash much clothes, except for the sheets, there were only two wedding clothes, which were not heavy.

According to Fang Tianlin's observations all morning, he can tell that most of the men who marry as wives are not so strong.Of course, compared with ordinary peasant women, there are still obvious advantages.This has nothing to do with other things, it is an innate difference between men and women in physique, and no one can change it.

It was mid-morning when I got home.

Fang Tianlin put the basin under the drying pole, pushed open the door, and saw Shen Jiahe sitting in front of the inferior table and chairs eating.

Hearing the noise behind him, Shen Jiahe was startled, he almost lost his job, his tongue seemed to be tied, and he couldn't speak fluently: "Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, you are my daughter-in-law, what happened last night, last night was wrong."

Fang Tianlin looked at him with a half-smile.

Shen Jiahe was so watched that his head was buried in his job bowl, and he wanted to emphasize it again, but his voice fell silent in an instant.

"The food is cold, I'll go and warm it up for you." Fang Tianlin was not good at always bullying honest people, so he got up to get the bowl.

Shen Jiahe hurriedly stopped him, moved the bowl to his chest: "Daughter-in-law, there is only a little left, no, no need."

Fang Tianlin saw that this was indeed the case, so he followed him.It's the end of spring, and the temperature is not bad. It's okay to have a cold meal or two once in a while.

"How's your body?"

Shen Jiahe was already slower than others in reacting, and when asked such a private question, he didn't turn around for a while, he hesitated for a long time before he said two words: "It's okay." Red, eyes rolling around, looking east and west, but dare not look at Fang Tianlin.

Fang Tianlin was just asking casually, and he didn't expect that his cheap daughter-in-law would be quite interesting.The original owner knew about Shen Jiahe's problem, and now Fang Tianlin knows it too.Originally, he just thought that a man must take responsibility, since he has put him to sleep, at least he has to take responsibility, and he doesn't expect much from Shen Jiahe himself, this is really a pleasant surprise.

The original owner's frame is not small, but he has eaten and drank too badly since he was a child. He looks very thin, and with his tall body, he looks like a clothes-drying pole.Shen Jiahe was different. Although he didn't eat very well, compared with the original owner, he was much better. Even if his complexion was a little yellow, he was more than a star and a half stronger than the original body. At least his figure looked very good. is strong.

He stood here, Shen Jiahe was afraid that he would always be so at a loss, Fang Tianlin immediately retreated to the yard to dry his clothes.

At this time, apart from Fang Tianlin and the others, there were only Mrs. Zhang and a few young children who could not get away from others. Mrs. Yao, Mrs. Chen and the older children were all gone.

"Sister-in-law three, I'm going to go to the mountains this afternoon, will you go?" Liu Cheng had already finished drying the clothes, holding an empty basin and looking at him expectantly.

Fang Tianlin didn't know how to deal with it, he would never go hunting in the mountains.Looking at Liu Cheng's body, he didn't look like he could do the job, so he simply asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Dig wild vegetables, and drop by to see if the trap set by the master has yielded anything. If there is any firewood to pick up, I'll bring some along with it." Speaking of this, Liu Cheng puffed out her chest with a proud face.

"Success, remember to call me when you go out in the afternoon." Fang Tianlin responded with a smile.He doesn't know how to farm, and he doesn't know how many kinds of wild vegetables he can recognize here. It's good to go to the mountains with Liu Cheng, it would be even better if he can integrate the original body's memory.

Back in the room again, Shen Jiahe had finished his meal and the table was cleared.The two looked around speechlessly, both a little embarrassed, Fang Tian's thick skinned, and Shen Jiahe's slow reaction, so no one noticed it.

"You're not feeling well, don't go to the ground these two days." Fang Tianlin suggested.

Shen Jiahe shook his head in response.

Seeing Shen Jiahe's reaction, Fang Tianlin reckoned that he was used to work and couldn't relax for a moment, so he simply persuaded him in another way: "I'm going to the mountain with my fourth sibling in the afternoon, why don't you go with us?"

Shen Jiahe thought for a while, and replied: "Okay."

In Fang Tianlin's eyes, the breakfast was not good or that bad, but in the eyes of the Shen family, it was rare and delicious.It hurts only when there is comparison. The meal at noon really opened his eyes. There is a large pot of hot wild vegetables with a little oily smell, a plate of pickled vegetables, and a small plate of the last remaining braised pork. One piece per person Multi-grain vegetable cakes, this is the lunch of the dozen or so members of the Shen family.

Fang Tianlin really wanted to give Tian the middle finger, when did he suffer like this?Even in the military camp, the food doesn't taste very good, but it's a combination of meat and vegetables, which is really satisfying.When he arrived in the Jing Dynasty, he was living more and more, and he couldn't even eat enough. The staple food was pasta, which he usually didn't like to touch.

Others ate with a sigh of relief, but Fang Tianlin felt like chewing wax.What he didn't know was that it would be good to have pancakes with whole grains and vegetables.Normally, the Shen family ate the most noodles in soup.Looking at a big bowl, in fact, most of them are wild vegetables in soup, and the noodles are just for decoration, not to mention that several dishes can still smell oily.

Oil and salt are expensive, and when the Shen family cooks on weekdays, they just wipe the bottom of the pot with oily chopsticks.Pancakes consume a lot of oil, and under normal circumstances, farmers do not have the opportunity to eat them often.

Fang Tianlin knew that now was not the time to be hypocritical. If he wanted to eat well, he would find a way to make money. Before he had contributed to the family, he really didn't have the qualifications to ask for this or that.The large pancake was stuffed almost whole, and the vegetables were served together with pickled vegetables and vegetable soup, so it was neither stale nor dull.

After lunch, Fang Tianlin felt that he was not full.The feeling is not obvious in the morning, probably because the original body has been hungry for a long time and the stomach has shrunk.After a whole morning, this body was completely dominated by Fang Tianlin, all functions were recovering, and even his appearance was getting closer to his original appearance.In this way, there is a problem.

In your twenties, it is the time when you can eat the most.Fang Tianlin had never been hungry before, and he had not controlled his appetite. He could eat two big bowls of soup, and even if it was dry, such a pancake would not be enough to feed him.

However, the dishes are okay, but the staple food is rationed. Everyone gets as much as they want. If they want to eat more, they can only find their own way.

In fact, Fang Tianlin is already the best treatment.The new daughter-in-law is really too thin, and the two elders still want to have a grandson. The share allocated to him is based on the adult males in the family.

Fang Tianlin didn't notice that his rice cake was bigger than other daughters-in-law's.

Thinking that he only had ten cash from his own house, Fang Tianlin desperately wanted to make some extra money.Liu Cheng told him a lot in the morning, and he also checked with Shen Jiahe, knowing that the daughter-in-laws would allow them to save money from their private house as long as they handed over part of the money they got outside the rules.The sons did not have this kind of treatment, and they had to hand in the full amount no matter whether they were produced in the field or went out to do part-time labor.

Father Shen and Mrs. Zhang didn't keep their money in the dark. Generally, after the sons paid, they would return some.If you don't give me a penny, you won't be able to arouse your interest in working, right?If everyone just concentrates on digging in the field and refuses to go out during the slack season, then it means that the whole family has no money to live?

There are only a few channels for farmers to get money. Even if they go out to do part-time jobs, they must have a network.If everyone could find work in towns and cities, the life of farmers would not be so poor.

Guangyan Village does not rely on mountains, nor does it face water.However, the village also has a mountain forest, but the distance is a bit far away. Usually, everyone is fine and won't go wandering around the mountain.

The sun is not strong now, and after lunch, Liu Cheng knocked on the door: "Sister-in-law three, it's time to go."

"Wait a minute, I'll be here right away." Fang Tianlin called up Shen Jiahe, who was forced to go to bed by him. The two wiped their faces casually, and then went out with a carrying basket and a pair of pole ropes.

What they were going to was Shaochong Mountain, a section of the Shangyang Mountain Range, which was several miles away from Guangyan Village, and it took at least a quarter of an hour to walk there.

The Shen family did not have any large animals such as cattle or horses, so they basically walked on their legs when going out.Farmers love these things, and no one will ask someone to borrow an ox cart just for the trivial matter of going to the mountains when they are full.

Fang Tianlin also had a hard time in the army, but how can he say that he has been out of the army for several years, how can he have the opportunity to leave for a quarter of an hour?If it weren't for this body to move closer to his original body, he would have to shake even if he walked back and forth without weight.Although he didn't know how the original owner left, in the final analysis, it was always related to his weakness and starvation.

At this moment, Fang Tianlin was very grateful.If he was allowed to inherit the body of his original body, if he didn't take good care of it for a while, he really had no other choice.If he was out of breath even walking, what could he do?If that's the case, why don't he act like a big girl and obediently stay at home to take care of his health?

Due to his slow reaction, Shen Jiahe was not very talkative.That's right, when others say something, they have to wait for a long time to get his response. Slowly, the number of playmates who talk to him will naturally decrease.After Shen Jiahe realized it, he developed the habit of listening more and speaking less.

Fang Tianlin wasn't talkative either, so seeing that both of them were easy to talk to, Liu Cheng immediately opened up the chatterbox.Most of the time, he was talking to himself, and Fang Tianlin responded occasionally, and then took the opportunity to ask some questions he wanted to know, and Liu Cheng had a cheerful face, basically answering everything he asked.

Fang Tianlin would also like to get along with Liu Cheng, who has a cheerful personality, and it takes too much brains to deal with the kind of deep-hearted Liu Cheng.

The climate here is relatively dry, and a gust of wind can blow up a cloud of dust.Fang Tianlin felt uncomfortable all over at the thought of having to fetch water from far away even to take a bath.

At this time, Liu Cheng consciously kept her mouth shut.If you still open your mouth when the wind blows, isn't that asking for guilt?Just right, after talking for a long time, he also felt a little thirsty.

Just like the amount of well water that each family can get is limited, each room in the house also has a quota of clean water.Otherwise, it can be foreseen that one person drinks too much, and the other drinks less, worrying about these trivial things all day long, or trivial things that are not clear at all, and there is no idle labor at home, who has so much time to worry about these things?

Shen Jiahe took a step beside Fang Tianlin, quietly listening to his wife chatting casually with her fourth siblings.Even though Liu Cheng said the next sentence before he finished receiving the previous sentence, he still listened with gusto, and would sneak a few glances at Fang Tianlin from time to time.

Fang Tianlin naturally noticed Shen Jiahe's small movements.He also has a little interest in this cheap wife, and from the corner of his eyes, he would glance at him from time to time, seeing how he thought he was hiding it well, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised slightly.

Shen Jiahe has been working in the fields all year round, although he doesn't have eight-pack abs, tendon muscles, and a particularly attractive figure like he did in the army, but it is not much worse, at least not to Fang Tianlin's appetite.Otherwise, he really wanted to chop off his own guy, who made him unable to control himself?

It is the end of spring now, and it is not the season with the most violent wind and sand. After a gust of wind, the sand and dust return to the ground, and it is another good weather.

Liu Cheng didn't stop talking, he had to save some water, he was going to finish his share, and he had to trouble his man to go all the way to fetch water, a hard day and extra work, He also feels distressed.

It is estimated that there is not enough water in this area. Fang Tianlin did not see a trace of rice. The fields are all drought-tolerant crops. Those crops that require a lot of water, everyone seems to have a good understanding, and only a small piece of land is planted.It is estimated that it is either used to give teeth to the children of the family, or it is sold in the town for money.

Originally, Fang Tianlin still had some longing for the mountains and forests, but when he really saw Shaochong Mountain, he lost interest at all.Not to mention the sparse vegetation, even the wild vegetables have almost been dug up.It's not a disaster year now, with this kind of virtue, when the harvest is not good, can't you really peel off the bark and roots?

Fang Tianlin had experience of living in the wild several times, but it was in the south, and the landform and ecology were probably very different.He didn't dare to pull out things rashly, he obediently followed behind Liu Cheng, watching what he dug, he dug whatever, and compared it with the memory of the original owner, he got started very quickly.

Seeing that Shen Jiahe was going to cut dead branches and gather leaves, Fang Tianlin thought for a moment, and decided to switch their jobs.He really didn't know what all the fuss had been going on last night. Shen Jiahe, who seemed to be in good health, made such a fuss that he couldn't get up until half the morning.Let him do the physical work, so that if the cheap daughter-in-law's health is ruined, the Shen family's property may soon be dragged down.

As soon as he heard what his wife meant, Shen Jiahe was so anxious that beads of sweat came out of his forehead: "This is a man's job, how can I let my wife do it?"

Fang Tianlin said "hehe" twice, using brute force to push him to the ground, while he himself picked up Shen Jiahe's outfit, and went into the nearby forest, leaving Liu Cheng and Shen Jiahe staring at each other.Although they are of the same sex, one is a sibling and the other is an elder brother, so being together like this is not very good in terms of reputation.

The two had ambitions together, and each found a place to work hard.

At this time, there were not many people on Shaochong Mountain.But Fang Tianlin didn't think that there were no patrons here. On the contrary, there should be quite a lot of people who came here to dig wild vegetables and collect firewood.Didn't you see that the land at the foot of the mountain seemed to have been scraped three times?Dead branches and fallen leaves are also pitifully few.

Fang Tianlin had no choice but to walk up the mountain.Relying on his strength, he quickly hugged a bundle of firewood.At first, he didn't feel much, but after the second bundle of firewood was finished, his stomach started to growl, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Fang Tianlin wandered around for a long time, but he didn't see any wild beasts, so he had to carry a few stones of similar size and walked deeper.

Half a quarter of an hour later, there were a few ringing sounds in my ears.Fang Tianlin stopped in his tracks, listened intently with his ears open, and after confirming the direction, he moved over lightly until he saw the expected figure.

This is a brood of pheasants, two old ones, and three newly grown ones, they are very alert at first glance.Fang Tianlin didn't dare to act rashly, he had to make sure he could harvest at least one.

Fang Tianlin worked as a coach in the archery club after retiring from the army. He used all kinds of training bows and stones, which can be seen everywhere in the mountains. He hadn’t used them for a long time. .

In order to ensure the success rate, Fang Tianlin wiped off the sweat from his hands, aimed at the nest of pheasants, and sprinkled the whole thing out.Can it be achieved in one fell swoop, it doesn't need to be killed in one blow, as long as it can be injured, after the speed drops, he has plenty of ways to catch them.

Fang Tianlin has tried his best, but unfortunately the results are not very satisfactory.Of the five pheasants, he only shot three of them, and one of them was injured or uninjured.

The remaining two were not so lucky, and were knocked down by Fang Tianlin's second shot of stones.He randomly pulled a few handfuls of thatch from the side, tied up two pheasants, held them upside down in his hands, and walked around the area again, found a pheasant nest, took out several pheasants, and hummed an unknown song , I returned to the mountain happily.

Although the temperature is not high now, but he is gathering firewood and catching chickens, Fang Tianlin inevitably has a thin layer of sweat, which is sticky and uncomfortable.

Fang Tianlin felt dizzy at the thought of sneaking to the pier to take a bath at night.He felt that it was a bit difficult to use that water to wash clothes, let alone take a bath.I thought to myself, if only his useless water space was still there, at least it would allow him to take a bath and drink water happily.

As soon as such an idea came up, the transparent water space appeared in front of him, and Fang Tianlin was overjoyed.He didn't expect not only the body to gradually change back to the original one, but also the water space to follow.Now it's all right, he doesn't have to worry about water anymore.Think about how difficult it is to count and drink water every day?If it's just a day or two, that's all. Looking at the situation in Guangyan Village, it is obvious that this is basically the case throughout the year.

The water space is really useless. In modern times, it was used by Fang Tianlin to replace daily water.Except that after drinking it for many years, it can slowly improve the physical fitness, and the other half-dime effects are useless.

Fang Tianlin had thought about raising fish and shrimp, but unfortunately, any living things could not be brought in.Seeds are not included in this list, but once they are put into the space and taken out again, they all lose their activity without exception.

In the water space, except for the lotus platform in the middle which is less than ten square meters, which can hold some things, the rest of the space is filled with water as far as the eye can see.Don't think that all the water can be used by him. Fang Tianlin has tried it in modern times. Once he draws too much water from the water space, he will feel weak and listless.Otherwise, with so many fresh water resources, he can't take it to deserts and other water-scarce places to plant trees and afforestation, improve the ecological environment, and benefit the people?

Fang Tianlin put his eyes on the lotus platform, looking at the thinly piled objects, his face was full of regret.If he had known this earlier, he would have filled the lotus platform to the brim without leaving even a single gap.

Well, one cannot be too greedy.It may not be useful to put the water space in other places, but in Guangyan Village, it is to cherish resources.Feeling his deflated stomach, Fang Tianlin took out two meat buns and ate them, only then did he feel his body regain strength.

After picking up a load of firewood near the mountainside, Fang Tianlin saw Shen Jiahe looking around below.Seeing that it was him, the cheap daughter-in-law showed a silly smile on her face, and kept waving to him, and then went straight up the mountain to take over the burden from his shoulders.

Maybe Fang Tianlin turned his body sideways and handed over the two pheasants hanging on the burden.
