See you in the world

Chapter 3 Life
Most people in the world work hard because of poverty, but the crux of the problem is that after working hard, they have not been able to improve their lives, and sometimes even the harder they work, the poorer they become...

Which link went wrong?

Mica is undoubtedly an extremely hardworking person, she seems to be restless for a moment.

After the meal, she saw that her precious son was not crying or fussing, she smiled and kissed her, and said something that seemed to be a compliment, so she immediately got busy again.

First, I found rice bran from the house, added water to make it into a muddy form, and made a big bowl of it, then fed it to chickens and ducks, and took a few eggs back to the house to put away.

It is rare for poor people to see meat, and poultry eggs are undoubtedly the best way to supplement nutrition. Yunjing suspects that if her mother does not need enough milk to feed herself, she may not be willing to feed chickens and ducks with chaff, but directly feed chickens and ducks. Drive out to find insects to eat, after all, when it is a last resort, rice bran can also fill the stomach and keep alive!
After feeding the chickens and ducks, Mica, carrying Yun Jing on her back, started to work again in the plowed vegetable patch in the yard, making nests and sowing seeds.

Yunjing recognized the seeds she sowed, including cucumbers, eggplants, green beans, peas, garlic sprouts and shallots...

Naturally, there was no fertilizer, and the mica was replaced by firewood ash from the stove, and a small handful was thrown into each seed nest.

Yunjing really wanted to tell his mother that the farmyard manure was actually better, but he couldn't communicate. What he said now probably sounded like a baby's ramblings to his mother.

I have no choice but to wait until the next year when I can 'talk', and then find ways to increase the crop production at home, but I don't know if the parents will listen to what the one-year-old baby says.

Brain hurts...

The baby was lethargic, and Yunjing was no exception. He watched his mother work, watched his eyelids start to fight, and fell asleep in a daze.

It was already night when he woke up again, and Yun Jing found himself in his own courtyard, being hugged by his mother.

The bright moon is in the sky tonight.

The night in early spring was quite cold, and a fire was lit next to Mica holding Yunjing. Under the flickering light of the fire, even though she was still holding Yunjing, Mica was still doing needlework.

Seeing Yun Jing opened his eyes, Yun Mu immediately put down her sewing work, first kissed him, and then checked whether he had peed or smelt.

Yunjing immediately moaned and chirped a few times, Yunca received the signal and began to urinate on him.

A few days ago, Yunjing was able to control his chicken, and reached a tacit understanding with Mica, as long as he hums and chirps, it means convenience, which undoubtedly saves Mica a lot of trouble.

Anyone who has raised a child knows how troublesome it is to clean up the baby. If the baby doesn't cooperate and move around at that time, hey, no matter how good-tempered it is, it will be a bit annoying.

That is still the case of diapers, Yunjing’s current situation does not have that kind of high-end play, every time you urinate or pull on your crotch, you have to change it, wash it and dry it. It is early spring, and the water is freezing cold. , Washing is suffering.

With good personal hygiene, Yunjing nestled in Mica's arms and turned his head to look around.

Father and grandpa didn't know when they would return from work. They were busy in the yard by the moonlight, and they seemed to have no free time.

Father Yun was chopping firewood, and the ax swung up and down with a crackling sound. He was sweating profusely after chopping a pile of firewood.

Firewood, rice, oil, salt, and firewood are at the forefront, which shows the importance of firewood. Without firewood, you can't even eat hot food.

Grandpa was busy on the other side. Under the moonlight, the strips were weaving back and forth in his hands, and soon a basket was quickly formed.

Yunjing's grandfather looks more than 50 years old, with gray hair and good spirits. While weaving his backpack, he would glance at Yunjing's direction from time to time, his eyes full of satisfaction with life.

Under the moonlight, the four members of a family are busy with their own activities. Although they seldom communicate with each other, amidst the chirping of insects and birds in the distance, the scene is extremely harmonious.

Looking around, Yunjing found that the house was not lit.

"No wonder the whole family is busy in the yard. It's a little bit of savings. The moonlight has become the best lighting tool, illuminating the home"

At some point, grandpa's kind face appeared in Yunjing's sight. He took out a grasshopper and held it in front of Yunjing like a magic trick, teasing him with words Yunjing couldn't understand.

Upon closer inspection, it is not a real grasshopper, but made of bamboo strips, which is vivid.

Yun Jing was quite surprised that his grandfather had this kind of skill, and smiled face-savingly and stretched out his small hand to grab the grasshopper woven from strips of bamboo strips.

Grandpa smiled, carefully put the grasshopper in Yunjing's hand, teased Yunjing for a while, then stroked his beard and turned to continue weaving the basket.

Yun Mu pinched Yun Jing's face, hummed an unknown song, and shook him gently.

Father Yun continued chopping firewood over there, looking back here from time to time, showing a satisfied smile, and continued chopping firewood...

I can't kill you today!

The peaceful days passed like this day by day, and Yun Jing also grew up day by day, and he mastered more and more languages ​​in this world.

In the blink of an eye, it was midsummer, and Yunjing was half a year old.

The melons and fruits planted by mica in the early spring in the vegetable garden are already fruitful, which is gratifying to look at. The vines on the fence are flourishing, decorating the home.

The so-called turning over three times, sitting four times and taking food five times, the half-year-old Yun Jing can barely crawl, it is really not easy, he is looking forward to the day he can walk.

In the past six months, Mica has protected Yunjing very well, and never let him out of her sight. She carried it on her back when she went to work in the field, and she also carried it on her back when she made a fire and cooked food. .

Children are everything to her.

With deliberate study, after half a year, Yunjing can already understand the language here. In such an environment, coupled with deliberate study, it is not difficult to master a new language.

But he can't say it yet, for fear of scaring people.

Now that he can understand the words, Yunjing also learned a lot of information from his family's usual communication.

The village he lived in was called Xiaoxi Village, and there were only twenty or thirty families in the village. The village was thirty or forty miles away from the nearest town, and it was located in a remote area in the south called Dali Dynasty.

This is not any country in the history of Yunjing's memory...

Fortunately, Yunjing in this world is also surnamed Yun. His grandfather said that Yun is the cloud in the sky. As for how to write it, I don’t know. The whole family is illiterate, and there is no one in the village who can read.

Grandpa's name is Yunlin, and Yun's father's name is Yunshan. Maybe it's a coincidence or maybe it's destiny. Yunjing is still called Yunjing. His grandfather went to the town to ask scholars to give him his name with the money of selling five backpacks.

One thing that surprised Yunjing was that his grandfather was actually only in his early forties, but he looked more than 50 years old. Years of hard work made him look ten years older than his original age!

Damn the world.

Mica's surname is Jiang, and her name is Jiang Susu.

From the communication among family members, Yunjing solved the mystery of why his father, a rough man, could marry such a beautiful wife.

There is no secret behind this, and there is no bullshit love story, it is purely that Dad Yun picked up a big deal.

A few years ago, there was a bandit disaster in Yun Mu's hometown. Not only was the house looted, but all the family members were also killed by the bandits. Jiang Susu, who went somewhere else, was brought home by Father Yun with two coarse-grain cakes. It was just for nothing...

Knowing this, Yun Jing finally understood why he had never seen his mother's natal family.

She must miss her loved ones very much.

But she is not alone, because she now has a family and children.

It is worth mentioning that Yunmu's family used to be poor farmers with no background, and the story of a troubled young lady committing herself to a farmer did not happen to Yunjing's parents. The beauty can only be said to be due to good genes, and it is not allowed A golden phoenix emerges from the mountain nest.

In the past six months, some things have happened in the village.

For example, a villager accidentally broke his leg. He went to the town for medical treatment and emptied his family, which made the already poor family worse. It hasn’t been cured yet. It will only be lame in the future. That time, Dad Yun helped lift the broken leg The villagers went to the town and sighed when they came back, saying that the family would become more and more difficult in the future.

Another example is that someone in the village married a new daughter-in-law, and another girl got married, and Yun Jing was carried by Yun Mu to attend those weddings.

It's embarrassing to say, whether it's married or married, the bride and groom are only seventeen or eighteen years old, and the youngest new daughter-in-law is only 14 years old. Not bad, after all, raising one more person's ration at home.

In this way, father Yun only had children in his early twenties, which can be regarded as late marriage and late childbearing

In the end, Yunjing learned that his family had 23 mu of land, [-] mu of paddy field, and [-] mu of dry land. As for money, Yunjing had never seen it before, maybe there was some, probably...
