My life skills in Daming Liver

When it was getting late, and it was almost six o'clock in the evening, Su Ze returned to the family temple with the snakeskin bag on his shoulders.

Su Ze just hid the snakeskin bag, and carefully arranged the potatoes and sweet potatoes under the bed.

He watched with distress as a sweet potato was crushed into two pieces.

This should have been broken when it was stuffed into a crack in the rock.

Just after finishing his work, Su Ze heard Lin Cainiang's voice from outside the door:

"Brother, Master calls you to eat."

Su Ze said in surprise: "Haven't you guys eaten yet?"

Because there are only two meals a day, dinner is usually eaten at three or four o'clock in the afternoon. Su Ze thought they had already eaten, but she didn't expect to be waiting for her to eat.

Outside the door, Lin Cainiang's stomach was growling. It seemed that she had been hungry for a long time. Su Ze stood up quickly, opened the door with a little apology, and followed Lin Cainiang to the canteen in the back room.

There was a tempting aroma coming from the pot, and Lin Cainiang said happily: "Brother, Master put in more rice today, and cooked seafood porridge with razor clams!"

Aunt Jiu lifted the lid of the pot, and the aroma of seafood porridge wafted out, and the little radish head filled a bowl of porridge for Su Ze.

Su Ze took a breath, and when he chewed the smooth and smooth razor meat, Su Ze was about to moan in comfort.

After putting down the bowl, looking at Lin Liangjun, who was devouring the little carrot beside him, Su Ze couldn't help asking:

"Auntie, why is this kid still with us? Doesn't he need to go back to eat?"

The little carrot head Lin Liangjun immediately jumped up and protested:

"I also have a share in catching razor clams! I also have a share in this porridge! This is a matter struck by lightning!"

Ninth Aunt murmured, "Isn't it justified?"

Little Luobotou jumped onto the stool, and said to Su Ze: "Bold! You are so rude to this general! Guards on the left and right, take down this thief quickly!"

Su Ze looked at the little radish head who was flaring his teeth and claws, and after pressing him on the stool, he said to Aunt Jiu:

"Auntie, let me make breakfast tomorrow."

Ninth Aunt glanced at Su Ze with cloudy eyes, nodded and said, "Then leave it to you."

Hearing the breakfast, Xiaoluotou said again: "I want to come too!"

Su Ze said helplessly: "Do you have nothing to eat in the guard?"

Little Luobotou said: "I can't get enough to eat! I can rush over to eat after eating at home!"

"Is it so difficult for a hundred families?"

Su Ze originally thought that Aunt Jiu was so poor because there were too few fields in the family temple, and Aunt Jiu was too old to grow land.

But looking at the men, women and children in the entire guard, all of them were pale and thin, and even Lin Liangjun, a younger brother from a hundred households, couldn't get enough to eat, Su Ze asked suspiciously.

Lin Liangjun said: "It's not my brother! He said that I'm not a soldier in the guard, and I can't eat the meals of a soldier! I can only eat cold vegetables and porridge every day at home!"

Aunt Jiu saw Su Ze's doubts and explained:

"Most of the food in the guard is for the soldiers. They have to practice daily and often go to sea for inspections, so the hundred households have set a rule that the soldiers can eat three meals a day, and there are rice and pasta for every meal. "

Su Ze had some respect for this Baihuxin who had never met before. As the leader of the guard, he could lead by example. Although Xiaoluotou was her own younger brother, he still insisted on following the rules and did not open the back door for him to be punished. meal.

Looking at the empty pot, Su Ze couldn't help asking:

"Everyone has worked so hard to support the dead, don't you have any complaints?"

This is also where Su Ze is puzzled. Although Changning Guards are basically surnamed Lin, they have been down for several generations, and the villagers are still willing to support the guards.

Nine aunts said: "Where would we be without Changning Guard? Other places in southern Fujian are often robbed by Japanese pirates, and the county town has been breached. Only our Changning Guard can be stable. This is all thanks to the old Baihu and Baihu."

Ninth Aunt pointed at Lin Liangjun again and said, "Don't listen to this kid's nonsense, Baihu gave half of his rations to him. Look at him, doesn't he look like he doesn't have enough to eat?"

Su Ze looked at the eight or nine-year-old Lin Liangjun, who was about the same height as the fifteen-year-old Lin Cainiang, nodded and said, "This kid just wants to eat."

Aunt Jiu glanced at Su Ze, and then said to Lin Liangjun:

"You can come to eat if you want, but after eating, you have to follow me to learn how to read?"

As soon as he heard that he needed to read and write, Little Luobotou immediately showed a bitter expression.

He rubbed his stomach and said, "My elder brother wants me to be literate, and Ninth Aunt, you also want me to be literate. What's so good about being literate?"

Ninth Aunt said earnestly: "Your family has hundreds of families, but you have to learn military books to lead soldiers in war. How can you lead soldiers well if you don't know how to read?"

Little Carrot covered her ears and said, "I know, I know! Then I'll follow my aunt to learn how to read after breakfast tomorrow!"

Ninth Aunt nodded in satisfaction, Lin Liangjun finished licking the bowl, looked at the already dark night outside, and said hastily:

"It's over, it's so late! I have to go back quickly, or my brother will beat me up again!"

When Little Luobotou left in a hurry, Su Ze said to Aunt Jiu again:

"Auntie, I think there is a bit of barren land on the mountain next to the family temple. I want to reclaim it. Are there any rules in the guard?"

Ninth Auntie glanced at Su Ze in surprise. Although he was tall, he had the air of a scholar. That's why Ninth Auntie thought he was a scholar and wanted him to be a temporary blessing.

Unexpectedly, Su Ze wanted to reclaim the barren fields. Ninth Aunt said, "It's not easy to open up wasteland. You can really do it?"

"I want to try."

Ninth Aunt said: "According to the rules set by Master Hongwu, the land reclaimed from wasteland can be exempted from tax for three years."

"If you want to reclaim the land, I will report it to Baihu with you. As long as you reclaim the land, Wei Li will waive your land rent for three years."

"As long as you don't waste the morning class, then the output of this fast land will belong to you. If you leave the guard in the future, the guard will buy this land to compensate you at the market price. How about it?"

Su Ze nodded quickly. Ninth Auntie was impeccable in her work and was very fair in her conduct. No wonder the whole guard respected her very much.

Lin Cainiang took the bowls and chopsticks, and Ninth Aunt said again: "There are some winter vegetables and rice seeds in the family temple, you can plant them."

Su Ze knew that this was the kindness of Aunt Ninth. For these poor people, seeds are also very precious things.

However, he was going to plant potatoes and sweet potatoes on the newly reclaimed fields, so he said, "Thank you, Auntie, for your kindness. I'm going to plant something new."

Ninth Aunt didn't say much, she just thought it was a whim of Su Ze, a scholar, she packed up the dishes and went back to sleep.

Su Ze was lying on the wooden bed, feeling his sore back. Who said that the ancient people gave birth to children at night when they had nothing to do?

It's only been a long day of driving today, Su Ze is so tired that he can't eat enough to eat at night on weekdays, how can he have the energy to do that kind of thing!

Su Ze sighed once again, the pastoral life imagined by the little bourgeoisie is really not pastoral and beautiful at all!
