"Then farmers are supposed to farm and be poor all their lives?" Xiuhong said with red eyes, "We worked so hard, but the harvest after a year of hard work is not as good as other people's one month or even one day's income. The court's Taxes go up as soon as they say they go up, I still remember that one year, the food collected by the family was not enough to pay the tax, so grandma had to pawn everything my father left us..."

Xiuhong looked at the fields on both sides in a daze, and said: "Farming is completely dependent on the sky, just like a few years ago, God didn't reward his face, and the yield per mu in the field was less than 120 catties. Grandma stays in the field all day long, and she is so tired that she can’t straighten her back. Cousin, I think raising rabbits is very good, because apart from being a little hard at the beginning, it’s much easier when the pasture grows taller, and it can be done in four months. You can earn several times more than the crops in the field every time you go out to slaughter, but you are right, if everyone stops farming, what will we eat?"

"But because of this last sentence, the peasants have to work tirelessly to serve the land, and those who don't farm the land?"

Mu Yangling couldn't help but stopped, and said seriously: "So I want everyone to stop working so hard in the future, and no longer just live by the face of God, Xiuhong, I know it's difficult, but someone has to move forward, If there are more people walking, a road will be opened, your ideas are correct, but I hope you will keep it in your heart, okay?"

It's not because she's afraid that Xiuhong will disturb the peasants' hearts, but because she's afraid that Xiuhong will get hurt.

Xiuhong asked: "Is it possible that I will be able to make others accept my ideas in the future?"

Mu Yangling said with a smile: "You have to become someone who respects your beliefs. If you have the ability, others may not be convinced of you. Beliefs can't be changed just by changing them."

Xiuhong nodded thoughtfully, and Mu Yangling didn't know if she understood.

On the way, the two met Liu Ting and others who were going to Mu's house to build a house.

The rest of the Liu family looked enviously at the roe deer carried on A Ling's shoulders, and someone shouted: "A Ling, you can't just feel sorry for your cousin Ting, I am also your cousin, and I dare not be like them Ask to eat roe deer meat, then you can catch a rabbit and give it to us as a tooth sacrifice."

Mu Yangling laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, when the house is finished, I'll go into the mountains and catch a wild boar and send it to you."

"That's a good relationship. Your cousins ​​are so greedy that their eyes are red. Remember, even if there are no wild boars, you can give us a taste of roe deer meat later."

Liu Yuan kicked him and scolded with a smile: "You are cheeky, that's all right, come to my house for dinner at night, and you don't have to wait for Ah Ling to deliver it to you, I will let you eat enough at night."

The others booed, "Brother Yuan, there's me."

"Uncle Yuan, can I go? Although I am not Ah Ling's cousin, I am Ah Ling's cousin."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Liu Ting pushed them and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, hurry up, the sun is coming out soon, Ah Ling, your cousin, aunt, and the others haven't gone to the field yet, hurry up, if you don't see anyone when you go back Go straight over the wall."

Mu Yangling responded, and He Xiuhong quickened his pace.

When they arrived, Liu Daqian and Liu Erqian were not at home. Mu Yangling directly carried the roe deer into the fence, first put the things in the yard, covered them with something, and then turned over and put He took off the sackcloth on his shoulders, patted his shoulders, and asked Xiuhong, "Is there any blood on my clothes?"

Xiuhong looked carefully and said, "No."

"That's good. Although they are old clothes, they can still be worn. Let's go and find uncle and the others in the field."

Xiuhong looked left and right, and saw someone from a few nearby families secretly watching them from behind the yard, so she asked in a low voice: "Cousin, can you leave things like this? Don't let someone steal them."

Mu Yangling just glanced at those people and said, "Let's go, they don't dare."

Brothers Liu Daqian and Liu Erqian have a good relationship. Whether they are in Linshan Village or Chaoxi Village, the two families work together as a family, because Liu Ting's four cousins ​​also have a good relationship, and there are two old The town is calm, and there has never been any unpleasantness.

But this time Mrs. Liu and Zhang were very unhappy. Her husband Liu Zhuang couldn’t come back from the military camp, and the two remaining strong laborers Liu Ting and Liu Yuan went to Mu’s house to help build the house. Then just go for one, why bother?

Now it's good, she has to pull the plow.

When Liu Daqian saw that her face was stretched, he couldn't help but frowned slightly, and said to Liu Lang: "Alang, go and pull the plow with your mother, and let your aunt hold the plow."

The eldest uncle heard the words and pulled him away, and said: "The elders and Alang went out to work for several days, let the third elder come."

Mrs. Liu Zhang was not convinced and said: "Mother, I am not idle at home, and my sister-in-law is going to help Mu's house, but she is going by herself..." Seeing Liu Daqian staring at her, Mrs. Liu Zhang gradually lowered her voice.

Liu Yang looked at his mother with a frown, trotted forward and pulled up the rope, saying, "I'll do it."

Mrs. Liu and Zhang hurriedly tore off the rope, and taught him a lesson: "What are you doing all over the place like a kid? Is this what you do?"

The uncle also said to him, "You haven't grown up yet, you have to wait another two years, come here quickly, don't make trouble for your mother and the others."

Liu Yang was a little unconvinced, but when he looked up, he saw Mu Yangling and Xiuhong walking this way. He was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. He jumped up and shook his hands and shouted: "Cousin, cousin, here!"

Mu Yangling had already seen them, and walked over holding hands with Xiuhong.

Seeing Mu Yangling, Liu Zhaoshi breathed a sigh of relief, pushed his son, and Liu Lang jumped up and ran over there, yelling "Aww" while running.

Liu Lun and Liu Yang thought it was fun, and imitated him, screaming "Aww" and rushed over. The two little ones even pulled some grass to increase the effect.

Liu Erqian was tying the rope at first, when several children suddenly cried out and startled him, he almost fell to the ground, so he raised his head and cursed with a smile.

Liu Rong also rushed over there, Liu Lang was a little older, and he knew he couldn't rush forward and hug him like before, so he stopped in front of Mu Yangling and asked, "Why didn't you tell us last night that you were coming over? I want my grandma to cut two catties of meat back."

Xiuhong snorted, and said, "We don't have any shortage of meat. When did my cousin come to your house empty-handed? You don't have to worry about meat, you already have it."

The three boys were embarrassed to rush forward, but Liu Rong behind her did not hinder her. She rushed forward and hugged Mu Yangling and Xiuhong all the way, and said with a smile on her face, "It's very kind of you to come, so my mother will be happy." Don't fight with my aunt."

Liu Lang knocked on her head and said in a low voice, "Keep your voice down, don't let mother hear you."

Liu Yang and Liu Lun nodded in empathy, "Be careful that you will be wearing small shoes when you turn around."
