On the way to escape famine, my parents divorced

Chapter 159 Hehe, Uncle, we have four of them at home!

(Thanks to the sleepy pig brother for voting for 12 monthly ticket.)
In early April, spring ploughing is the most important thing!
After settling in Liujiatun last year, the head of the village in charge of several villages outside Qingsong Town brought his people to Liujiatun for the first time.

Although the village head was a little surprised to see Li Shiyue, a girl standing in front of him, he just glanced at her more and didn't say anything.

The village head came to inform the county about the date for spring plowing, and to find out the current population of Liujiatun and the number of acres of land of each family, so that he could collect taxes after the autumn harvest.

"It's colder here than in town, so the crops you grow must be less than elsewhere, so the county won't make it difficult for you and will allow you to pay 15% less.

Since you have just arrived, the summer tax will be exempted this year, but you must prepare for the autumn tax during the winter months.

As for the grain, don't worry, you can send someone to go with me to the county government office to get it today."

The last people to follow the head of the village were Li Youfu and his eighth great-uncle's eldest son, while Li Shiyue and Li Wangshui followed behind in a cart.

Li Shiyue knew that this kind of work was hard, so she went with them, not only to show her stance, but also to visit the military garrison as well.

She spent her points to buy the blueprints of the plow cart and the curved plow from the system, and planned to go to the military garrison to find Liu Tan.

The garrison troops also have to farm, otherwise they can’t be called “garrison” troops, right?

Regardless of whether the "wild horse hitting people" incident at the palace parade ground that day was an accident or someone arranged it, she had already boarded Liu Tan's boat so far, and she naturally had to keep in touch with him until Liu Tan fell.

The best way to make Liu Tan "not forget" her and "think about" her is to offer suggestions and bring real benefits to Liu Tan.

In this way, if anything good happens in the future, Liu Tan will remember Li Shiyue, right?

Just like, wasn't it Li Shiyue who learned about the trade when he went to give New Year gifts to Liu Tan?

We waited outside the county government office until the afternoon, when the village head finally came out with a group of people.

According to the number of households on their side, Li Wangshui took out the grain bags he had brought ahead and started packing them, regardless of Li Youfu's expression.

After loading, Li Shiyue and Li Wangshui said hello to the head of the village and Li Youfu, who had a gloomy face, and turned the car around and drove out of Sanshan County towards the village.

This time, Li Shiyue did not go into the military garrison. She just stuffed the drawings of the plow cart and the curved plow into the envelope, and also stuffed a short message she had written in advance into the envelope. The letter explained to Liu Tan the benefits of these two things in farming.

Then, Li Shiyue untied the horses, leaving one for the coachman Li Wangshui, and rode the horse onto the official road to the provincial capital.

She was going to pick up Li Wangming who was studying at the provincial school.

In fact, Li Wangming should have come back during the Qingming Festival.

Although Grandfather Li and Grandmother Li are both buried in Henan Road and the ancestral hall in the village has not yet been built, it is still customary to worship the tablets at home.

Besides, isn’t Mr. Li’s cenotaph still on Dahei Mountain?

However, before Qingming Festival, Li Shiyue made a special trip to the provincial capital and met Li Wangming outside the provincial school.

"My mother meant that it would be better for you to come back during the spring ploughing season, so that you don't have to delay your studies and you can also come back for the sacrifice.

It’s only a few days’ difference, what do you think?”

Li Wangming naturally agreed at that time. After all, it would only take a few days to go.

The provincial school gave the students a spring ploughing holiday of about seven days. If they took a few more days off, they could make a total of ten days.

The only people who could be invited were those like Li Wangming who lived far away. After all, it would take a whole day to get back to Liujiatun from the provincial capital even on horseback.

Li Shiyue dared to lead people on horses, even running fast. She and Li Qiutian and Li Xiatian had tried it several times before. Li Wangming was a little afraid to sit behind Li Shiyue. Li Shiyue patted her chest and assured Li Wangming: "Uncle, don't worry. My sister and I have tried it and it's very stable!"

Li Wangming, who had never ridden a horse, looked at the horse in front of him paddling the ground with its hooves. He looked up from the horse's hooves and saw that the mane on the horse's neck had been braided into small braids by Li Shiyue.

"October, I don't dare."

Li Wangming blushed with embarrassment. He swallowed his saliva and said the same thing to Li Shiyue.

Li Shiyue got off the horse helplessly and said, "Then let's go to the cattle and horse market to buy a cart. We can also buy some food to take back. The price of food in the city is three copper coins cheaper per stone than in Sanshan County.

We have a large family and spend a lot.

After the spring ploughing, we have to hire someone to build the house and provide lunch, so we need food. It won’t hurt to buy some more to take home.”

Finally, Li Shiyue simply rested for a night in the city, bought a lot of things, and then drove back with Li Wangming on the newly bought second-hand cart.

When Li Shiyue and Li Wangming returned to Liujiatun, it was already late at night.

As soon as they entered the village, they heard the sound of dogs barking.

Li Wangming, who was sitting on a cart wrapped in a fur coat, asked when he heard the noise, "Does Mr. Liu have a dog?"

Li Shiyue sat on the shaft of the cart without turning her head. She adjusted her fur hat and replied directly, "Since the grain has been divided, the village head has told the villagers to raise a few dogs to guard the house.

There is a market on the official road outside Qingsong Town every fifth and eighth day. At least seven or eight households in our village buy dogs to raise.

However, the dog at Liu Laozhang's house is an adult dog, so that's why it makes so much noise.

Uncle, let's go inside. Listen carefully and you can hear the barking of a puppy. "

Just as Li Shiyue said, the further in we went and the more carefully we listened, the more we could hear the barking of puppies coming from inside several doors in the quiet night.

The dog kept barking, and some men who were still awake would open their doors, put on their clothes, and look out to see if there was a thief in their yard.

Li Wangshui held a hatchet in his hand. He looked at the dark mass on the road outside. When he got closer, he heard the sound of the horse's nose breathing. Then he called out tentatively, "Is it October ahead?"

"Uncle Wangshui, hey, it's me, go back to the house quickly, the dog won't be able to bark after we leave."

When the carriage stopped at the door of Li Shiyue's house, Li Wangming, who got off the carriage, actually heard the soft and cute cry of a puppy outside his own door.

"We have a dog at home too?"

"Hey, Uncle, we have four of them!
I got one, my sister got one each, and my brother got one too!"

As the two were talking, the sound of the dog barking became clearer and clearer. Someone must have opened the door and let the dog out.

"October? Wangming?"

Li's mother came out holding a bean-sized oil lamp, wearing clothes and using her hands to block the wind for fear that the wind would blow out the lamp.

Soon, the Li family became active. The four puppies followed behind them, barking happily.
