Sturdy Countryside: Lord, Please Blow The Lamp

"La la la la la..." What is Xia Beibei doing?

At this time, Xia Beibei was digging whip shoots in the bamboo forest with a few girls who were about her age and who usually walked very close to her.

What are whip shoots are some shoots that grow from the roots of bamboos and do not form bamboo. In autumn, when the whip shoots grow most vigorously, it is best to dig some and eat them.

However, finding whip shoots is a laborious job.

Several little girls were holding small baskets. Although they were laborious, they still dug the soil hard, as if they would not give up until they dug a full basket.

"Sister Jiuniang, why did you dig so much?" Xia Xiaoju dug and came to Xia Beibei's side, looking at her bamboo basket, it was obviously more than theirs, and asked enviously.

"Because you're smart." Xia Beibei replied naturally.

A few days ago, news came from the imperial court that the late emperor passed away, and the whole country mourned him. No performances, no laughing, no making noise, no this, no that...

She couldn't figure it out, the entire Xuedu, I'm afraid it's already howling all over the place? How can there be laughter?

As far as Xia Beibei is concerned, she still had some fun and found a way to survive.

"Oh." Xia Xiaoju nodded, before she could understand the meaning of her words, she turned her head and went to dig the soil again.

On the other side, Xia Ziyin also came over with a bamboo basket, jumped to Xia Xiaoju's side, and whispered something in her ear.

Xia Xiaoju looked back suddenly, and glared at Xia Beibei angrily, "Sister Jiuniang, I will never talk to you again!"

Sister Xiaoyin told her just now that Sister Jiuniang didn't think she was smart at all, but that they were stupid! Hmph, she was pissed off.

"Haha." Xia Beibei laughed twice, "Hurry up and dig, your mother told me, you won't be able to dig enough for a bamboo basket, and you won't be given food at night!"

She put on a straight face and said fiercely.

"My mother wouldn't say that. It's clear that you are scaring me." Xia Xiaoju made a face at her, said something, and then continued to move her hands.

"Jiu Niang, you really dug a lot." After a while, Xia Ziyin also came to her.

"It's all the same. I just stayed here for a long time, and you will be here soon." Xia Beibei shrugged and said.

Practice makes perfect, no one is an exception, and she is not a special case of Xia Beibei.

"Jiu Niang, I heard my father and mother say that the rich man from the neighboring village is coming to our Xiajia Village to take over the land." Xia Ziyin looked around, no one else was around, so she whispered to Xia Beibei opened the mouth and said.

"Recover the land?" Xia Beibei suddenly raised her head and looked at Xia Ziyin.

"Yes, my mother disagrees, but my father..." Xia Ziyin curled her lips, and there was a hint of disdain at the corner of her mouth.

Dad is diligent, and he has found a way to make money here.

"What do you mean? Isn't it normal for the rich to come to reclaim the land?" Now in the year of the catastrophe, those rich people have money in their hands. Isn't it okay to come and collect a few acres of land?

Besides, people's homes don't even have food now. If they can sell an acre and a half of land and have some money in their hands, they can at least buy some coarse grains to fill their stomachs temporarily. It's also for survival.

It's just that it's really hard to make a decision between selling or not.

After all, everyone will continue to farm next year. If the family land is sold, what will they eat next year?
