If you don't farm, you will be smashed [End Times]

"Master, have you heard clearly?"

"Check it out. Master Xia himself said that his family doesn't grow any rice."

"Wheat, sorghum, sorghum and corn are not grown"

"No planting, all potatoes and sweet potatoes, I don't think it's a joke."

The couple looked at each other and sighed at the same time. Seeing that it was going to be spring plowing, the news came from somewhere that the Xia family only planned to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes, and no other food crops were grown.

The villagers of Qinghe Village don't dare to underestimate the news from Xia's family. Back then, when Master Xia said that zombies were coming, they didn't believe it. The empty courtyards in the village were the result.

Food is related to the livelihood of the family, and the villagers are even more cautious. Although the autumn harvest last year was considered a bumper harvest, the farmers have paid all kinds of taxes, and the remaining grain is enough for half a year. To sell money.

If there is not enough food until this year's harvest season, you will have to starve next year. Who dares to treat it lightly.

"Yes, otherwise, let's not grow those." The woman stopped her needlework and said with a serious face, "He is a capable person, and we ordinary people, it is always right to follow the smart people."

The man from the family pondered for a while, then slapped his thigh, "Success, follow the Xia family, we will grow whatever they grow."

Some time ago, when he was fighting zombies, he was in the group not far from Master Xia's family. He saw with his own eyes that Master Xia beckoned, and a large group of zombies fell down.The world is in chaos, and it is a blessing for them small people to rely on a capable person.

This kind of scene was played out by many families in Qinghe Village. Some, like this family, firmly chose to follow in the footsteps of the Xia family, while some did not believe in evil and wanted to grow some rice and wheat.After all, these rations can be sold at a high price. Compared with sweet potatoes, potatoes are the normal staple food for people.

Of course, because of Xia Chen's performance, these families didn't dare to plant too much, and most of them only planted half rice and wheat and half sweet potatoes.

From the Xia family, Meng Mingjun and Dong Geer came together to report on the spring plowing in Qinghe Village. Dong Geer knew the land well, and Meng Mingjun was good at counting. The two of them could do a lot of things together.

The news was released by Xia Chen. Since he knew that the harvest might be affected, he didn't mind mentioning it, but he didn't care if he listened or not.

After listening to the two, tap Meng Mingjun's notebook for recording, and stop paying attention to "how is that ditch dug?"

With the amount of their projects, they are still far from the moat. After all, they don't even have a city, that is, to build a simple fortification first. If there are zombies coming again, they can stop them at the entrance of the village first.

"The progress is very fast." Meng Mingjun showed Xia Chen the detailed records. There is no need to rush now. Every household that can move has come to help. Men go down to shovel and dig pits, and women and half-grown children use bamboo. Basket transport soil.

Xia Chen no longer has fruit, but now no one is too tired to say that he is looking for something to do, and no one thinks that doing too much work and going home to eat more food is a disadvantage, and his life will be gone by then. What's the use.

"Right now, every household is busy with spring plowing, but they don't rest in their spare time. According to this progress, it is expected that the channel connecting Qingshui River will be dug and brought in the water by the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Meng Mingjun did his best. They, including the outsiders brought back by the Yao family and Xia Chen, basically settled down in Qinghe Village.

The houses are first occupied by the field houses and the vacant houses, which are usually slowly built up, and when they are built, they move in one by one.The fields are also divided according to the population, that is, the original remaining fields of the Tian family, and the original fields of those who died. If you want, you can open up wasteland by yourself.

There was not much distributed to each household. Xia Chen distributed the potatoes they planted, and each family directly gave a batch of rations, which was enough for them to eat until the harvest season.

Xia Chen gave everything that was lacking in other aspects of the house, such as bedding, pots and pans. These people were either close relatives of his family, partners who followed him all the way, or benevolent people like the Meng family. with him.Since he chose to settle down in Qinghe Village, why not talk about it in the future, right now he has to help settle down the family.

Sun Heihu and his brothers are now living in the Tian family mansion. They are familiar with each other, eating and living together is very harmonious. The meals are cooked by Wen Guixi and the two brothers who take turns to help. Grain or meat is enough.

They can hunt, and they can bring back a lot of meat when they go to the mountains.

Zhenniang and Liu Jiao lived with a few children in a newly built house not far from Xia's house. Mother got along well, living alone in such a big house seemed empty, so I invited her to live with her.

The rest of the Meng family from the Yao family scattered into the vacated yard in the village, Wang Chen naturally lived with the Meng family, while Wen Shu and Zhe Liu stayed at the Xia family.

Each household has its own business, and with Xia Chen's full support, they soon established themselves.

Sun Heihu and his party were able to hunt, and sometimes they borrowed Xuanniang to help them find prey, so naturally she had to give her a share. Xuanniang took on the important task of supporting the family at a young age.

Liu Jiao's ability is simply not more useful, she will not be short of food for anyone, and now others ask her to copy it, and they have to pay some money, living a very nourishing life.

Although the Yao family is an ordinary family, the family has been in possession for many years, and there is nothing short of food except for food. With the batch that Xia Chen gave, the family will work harder and work harder. After this year's harvest, there will be no shortage of food.Although it is not as comfortable as other people's unencumbered life, it can also live a stable life.

Only the Meng family, Mrs. Meng is weak and sick, Mr. Meng is not a person with superior physical strength, Meng Mingjun has not yet grown up, Wangchen is a monk, and none of them is good at farming.

Just talking about digging ditches, people from every household came, and the Meng family was embarrassed to ignore them, so Meng Mingjun took the lead and asked his parents to study how to farm at home.

Of course, Xia Chen couldn't ask Meng Mingjun to dig the ditch. That was not favoritism, but a waste of manpower. Meng Mingjun could write and calculate. Xia Chen showed him the overall engineering drawing and explained it again, so he could be a supervisor.No one in the village, including Brother Nan, knows this, so he runs around every day to make records, and everyone is convinced.

"Don't be in a hurry to bring water here." Xia Chen returned Meng Mingjun's record book to him. He hasn't grown many water ghosts yet, so it won't help much to bring water there now.

Meng Mingjun nodded, indicating that he had made a note of it. Xia Chen had other matters, and he had to notify the ditch diggers.

"By the way, I will have a little free time in a while, and I want to invite Mr. Meng to open a school. After my junior brother returns home, I will discuss it with my husband and ask him if he is willing."

From the very beginning, he had no intention of letting Mr. Meng actually farm the land. The young mothers in the family, the children in the uncle's family, Xue Guangzong and Xuanniang, there are so many children, what do they do if they don't study.

I don't plan to let them learn any more Four Books and Five Classics. They must learn basic arithmetic and common characters. Otherwise, they will be like the villagers in the village. a copper plate.

As for the villagers, Xia Chen still had the same attitude, casually, he asked Mr. Meng to enlighten the children, and it must be handed in. The villagers wanted their children to learn, and they had to pay for it.

Meng Mingjun was startled, then overjoyed, "My father is definitely willing."

Xia Chen patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter what you say, you have to nod yourself. By the way, when you go back, go to the kitchen and ask Brother Nan to bring you some meat back. The younger brother is still growing, so eat more." Meat grows taller."

Meng Mingjun blushed slightly and whispered, "I'm not a child anymore, senior brother, you don't have to do this, the meat is brother Sun's filial piety to you, don't give it to me all the time."

"They didn't give it to me." Xia Chen smiled wryly, Sun Heihu and the others always sent meat home, but Zi Jian didn't know what was going on, and he kept running into the mountains during this time.

They didn't take anyone with them, even the willows were left behind, so they took his little vines with them, saying they would feed him.Xiao Teng didn't want to go with him at all, but after being twisted into several flowers by Wen Shu, Teng Jian'er hooked Xia Chen's wrist, reluctantly left his master, and was taken away.

This person went to the mountains one by one, and walked for a whole day. When he came back, he brought back a bunch of prey that had been sucked dry. Wen Shu alone hunted more than Sun Heihu and his group.

He also made the best use of everything, walking ahead with his bare hands, entangled the prey with small vines, and pulled the prey behind by hooking the trees in the forest.If it hadn't been eaten a lot recently and grown up a bit, the small body really couldn't hold the huge wild boar and elk.

So Xia Chen's family can't finish the meat. Madam Xia and Qiao Niang are busy making bacon and bacon.

Xia Chen explained briefly and asked Meng Mingjun to take some back. If it's convenient, it's best to send some to Zhenniang and the others.His mother kept talking about it every day, so much meat that it would spoil if he couldn't finish it, it gave him a headache, and he wished he could put it all in his own space.

Let Meng Mingjun go to the kitchen to get the meat. He is very familiar with Xia's family, so he doesn't need Xia Chen to lead the way. Xia Chen stayed in the study for a while, and heard his sister-in-law calling Nan Geer at the top of her voice, as if asking him to help carry things.

Xia Chen remembered that Brother Nan seemed to be looking for Xu He. He was about to tell his sister-in-law when he opened the door and saw Brother Nan rushing into the kitchen. The basket came out.

Seeing Xia Chen, Nan Ge'er bit the meat and said vaguely, "Uncle, the things I brought you are on your table."

Xia Chen asked "what?"

Brother Nan was about to answer when Qiao Niang rushed out of the kitchen with a rolling pin, "I told you to move a basket, you stole half a bowl of steamed meat, you give it to me"

Brother Nan jumped three feet high, hurriedly made a pose for Xia Chen to drink water, and ran away with the basket in his arms.

Xia Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he coaxed his sister-in-law in with some nice words, and only then did he have the time to see what Brother Nan brought him.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw two bamboo tubes on the table in his room. This kind of thing is often used to hold water in the mountains. Before Xu He came to bring him mountain spring water, they used this kind of bamboo tubes.

Xia Chen picked one up curiously, before he could call, the door was suddenly pushed open, Wen Shu walked in, and the little vines lying on his sleeve flew towards Xia Chen reluctantly, and quickly He wrapped it around his wrist a few times.
