The worst time travel, surviving seven years of famine

Since they had decided to exchange maltose for something like last time, they had to make it clear in advance to avoid a mixed bag of goods like last time.

Gu Liang discussed with them how to exchange, and finally decided to exchange a basket of calamus for a piece of candy.

Three rules were also set:

First, only the roots of calamus were collected, and leaves or other things were not allowed to be mixed.

Second, in order to avoid drowning and other problems, they could only dig in the stream, not in deep water areas, and several children had to dig together.

Third, if the parents did not agree to go into the water, they could not go into the water.

After listening, a group of children agreed and said that they would pay attention, and the deepest part of these streams was only knee-deep, so they would not drown.

They did what they said. No matter how delicious mulberries are, they are just something that can be found in the countryside and can be eaten in large quantities every year. Sugar is different. You can only get one or two pieces a year, so in the eyes of the children, sugar is much more attractive.

The children agreed to start digging from the stream on the mulberry side and asked Gu Liang to wait for them here while they went back to get the tools. However, Gu Liang did not really wait for them. He went to get the backpack and hoe next to Lanxi first.

So, today, a magical phenomenon appeared in a stream in Lanxi Village. Nearly twenty children were digging everywhere in the stream, attracting people's attention.

Within an hour, the calamus in a stream was dug clean, and the leaves of calamus were floating in the stream, which could be said to be "corpses all over the wild".

However, due to the large number of people, the calamus in a stream was only half a basket per person on average. Gu Liang led them to move to another stream. There were many small streams like this in Lanxi Village.

When almost everyone had a basket, the children immediately asked Gu Liang to take out the maltose in exchange. Although they were not afraid that Gu Liang would not give it, it was the nature of children, and they were all eager to eat.

Gu Liang thought that it was impossible to carry so many baskets of calamus back by himself. He did not want to trouble his family, so he played a trick and said that the maltose was at home and asked them to carry it back and exchange it.

The people did not think it was okay. After all, who would carry so much sugar? You know, there are some snacks and fruits at home. The adults at home always carefully pack them, put them in boxes and put them away, for fear that they would steal them.

So a group of people prepared to go to Gu Liang's house with bamboo baskets on their backs, but most of them underestimated the weight of a basket. A basket of calamus with water is much heavier than pig grass, which made them unable to stand up.

A group of people had to drag and pull him to his house, which made Gu Liang embarrassed.

Gu Liang found a special person in the crowd. A girl was carrying a very large backpack. It was full, and boys might not be able to carry it, but she could carry it, and it didn't look like she couldn't move it.

Gu Liang was afraid that she was too young to be crushed, which would be a loss, so he hurried over to persuade her. He called her over and stopped her. It turned out to be the girl who picked two backpacks in one day to exchange for sugar last time.

After Gu Liang came here, he rarely played with these children. He didn't know her name, so he didn't call her. He said directly: "Hey, if you can't carry so many, don't carry them. Or you can carry them separately. This backpack is big, almost the same as the other two backpacks."

The girl looked a little thinner than last time, and a little pale, but the smile on her face was as lively as last time. "No, I can carry it. Sometimes I carry heavier things at home!" The girl said while pushing Gu Liang's hand to help her, indicating that she really didn't need help.

Seeing that Gu Liang was stubborn, he had to let go. After all, it was like this in ancient times. Small children had to do big things.

When Gu Liang got home, there were already several older children waiting for him at the door.

Especially Liu Dapang, when he saw Gu Liang coming back, he hurriedly said that he was the first to arrive and he had been waiting for a long time.

Gu Liang apologized and said that he would go back to the room to get maltose immediately.

After returning to the room and closing the door, Gu Liang hurriedly took out the maltose from the space and put it in a large basin for easy removal.

When Gu Liang showed the basin of maltose, a group of children were excited. Although they had seen so much candy from the candy seller, it was someone else's after all and they couldn't eat it. Unlike the candy in Gu Liang's hand now, some of it belonged to him,

As long as I continue to dig calamus in the next few days.

"Hurry up, Gu Liang, change it for me."

"I want to eat it, I haven't eaten enough next time."

"Gu Liang, I didn't get it last time, change it for me first."

"Uncle Liang, I am the cousin of your grandfather's third aunt's grandson, your relative, can you give me two pieces, hehehe."

……………

Gu Liang was surrounded by this group of children in three layers and three layers, and it was so crowded that Gu Liang could only hold the maltose in the basin.

Gu Liang instantly felt that he was the principal of the kindergarten. This feeling of being overwhelmed made him feel sorry for the kindergarten teacher for two seconds.

Gu Liang could only shout: "Take your time, line up one by one, put your backpacks away, and don't change if you don't line up."

Fortunately, this group of ten-year-olds were much more sensible than the kindergarten children, and they immediately lined up obediently.

Gu Liang started to "hand over the money and the goods" like receiving goods in the vegetable market.

"You have one basket, and you have one piece of candy." Gu Liang handed a palm-sized piece of candy to Liu Dapang, who was the first to eat.

"Your basket is not only smaller than others, but also shallower. You can't do this tomorrow." Gu Liang handed a piece of candy to the person who was taller than him, and the person said that he would definitely dig some tomorrow.

"Your basket is twice as big as others, so I'll give you two pieces." When Gu Liang handed two pieces of maltose to the girl, she took them with both hands to thank him, but she didn't rush to eat them like last time, and put the candy in her pocket.

"Dabao, one piece of candy in one basket." Gu hid a small piece of broken candy under a whole piece of candy and cast a look at Gu Dabao. Gu Dabao also responded with a look, and quickly took the candy given by Gu Liang and held it tightly, fearing that others would see it.

"Next one."

"Gu Dani, Gu Erni, come out, you didn't go digging." Gu Liang drove his two sisters out. Although he would give them some broken pieces of candy in private, children naturally want to eat as much as possible.

Gu Dani and Gu Erni said aggrievedly: "Brother, you didn't tell us about such a good thing. We also want to eat candy."

Gu Liang had no choice but to tell them that they could go digging together tomorrow. The two sisters stopped pestering Gu Liang.

"Next one." Gu Liang dealt with his sister and continued to exchange candy.

At the same time, when Gu Liang was exchanging candy, two pairs of eyes appeared in the window of the Gu family, observing Gu Liang intently.
