After all, what happened to Yunying was indeed the old Li family's fault for her, and he could understand Sun's anger.

"I bother!"

Mrs. Li spat and cursed fiercely: "How can her yellow-faced woman be worthy of our son? Shoude is now a scholar, even if he marries an official and a wife! Look at what she can do day by day! I look at her That face makes me angry... Oops, my belly, my belly... it’s coming again..."

Halfway through the curse, Mrs. Li clutched her stomach and cried out in pain: "Hurry, help me to the latrine! I can't hold it in anymore!"

……

In the past few days after the Jiang family held the banquet, the villagers also started autumn planting, sowing buckwheat one after another.

It only takes about three months for buckwheat to mature from sowing. Rice is harvested when it matures in September and cannot be sown again until April of the following year. This period is just the right time to sow buckwheat.

Buckwheat does not require a lot of water like rice. It requires very little water. It only needs a rain to irrigate the ground, and the wheat can bloom and produce full wheat grains.

Several neighboring villages in Yong'an County have experienced droughts in recent years. Villagers no longer dare to sow crops that require large amounts of water. Buckwheat is the best choice.

The buckwheat grown does not require additional taxes and can make up for the food shortage of the villagers. Otherwise, the villagers would not be able to survive next year's autumn harvest just relying on that little rice.

Seeing the people in the village getting busy one after another, Jiang Wei also started thinking about it, planning to buy another field from Li Zheng and grow some buckwheat at home.

Buckwheat is ground into flour and can be used to make various pastas such as rolls, cakes, steamed buns and soup noodles. It is also a good grain.

Moreover, by planting buckwheat, her family’s food source also became known.

However, Jiang Xiaoxiao became anxious when she heard that her mother had planned to grow buckwheat.

She has not forgotten that there will be a heavy snowstorm this winter!

Buckwheat will be easily frozen to death when encountering frost and snow. Planting buckwheat this year is completely thankless.

She didn't know how big the snowstorm was, but the hailstorm that still frightened the villagers was not mentioned in the original work, and was only briefly mentioned. However, this snowstorm was described in a lot of words in the original work, so it was definitely not a snowstorm. A small snowstorm is so simple!
She could not stop the villagers from planting buckwheat. After all, Yuhe Village had to sow buckwheat every year. If she proposed not to do so, not only would no one agree, but she would also be treated as a gibbering monster.

But my mother can still stop it...

"Mom, I don't think buckwheat is a good choice." Jiang Xiaoxiao said, "I read in a book that buckwheat absorbs a lot of fertilizer and will make the soil thinner, causing the grain yield to not increase... Let's plant something else. Now that we have buckwheat, it would be better to wait until April next year to sow rice together.”

What she said is correct. The level of productivity in ancient times was already low. Grain production was not high. There were no various chemical fertilizers and pesticides. The crops were seriously lacking in nutrients. Planting buckwheat would only make the already overwhelmed fields worse.

Jiang Wei thought about it and agreed with her: "Okay, let's wait until next year to plant it again."

Jiang Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. Fortunately, she always maintained her love of reading in front of her mother. She usually likes to read a book no matter what she has to do. Otherwise, she wouldn't know how to make up these words...

"By the way, Mom, I always feel that this winter will be very cold..." Jiang Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully, "How about we kill some rabbits at home and save the rabbit fur to make some warm clothes?"

"Okay, I happen to be free these days." Jiang Wei rolled up her sleeves and went to the kitchen to get a knife. She was a resolute person who did what she said.

The village is busy with autumn planting these days. Except for Master Zheng who is leading his disciples to build a soap workshop outside the courtyard, there is no one else at home. Even Qiu Lianniang is busy at home and has no time to come to her house. Sister Zhao is free. , but it has been arranged to burn the kiln.

Mother and daughter chase rabbits in the backyard. These rabbits ran so fast that their powerful legs jumped more than ten feet away, and even their fur could not be touched.

Jiang Xiaoxiao ran with two short legs and didn't even catch a single one without breaking a sweat.

"This rabbit can run really well. It's not like a normal rabbit at all. This speed can almost catch up with the cheetah on the prairie..." Jiang Xiaoxiao held her knees and panted.

Turning to look at Jiang Wei, she only caught two rabbits in her hand.

These rabbits are so good at escaping, I don’t know how long it will take to chase them...

At this time, a half-grown tiger rushed into the backyard, picked up a fat and strong rabbit with lightning speed, turned around and put it into Jiang Xiaoxiao's hands.

Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. He held the rabbit in one hand and touched its head with the other: "Ah Huang is awesome!"

"Ow~"

The half-grown tiger seemed to understand Jiang Xiaoxiao's compliment, rubbed her hand with its furry head, and purred happily.

"Ah Huang" is its current name.

In the past, when the tiger cub first came to the house, Jiang Xiaoxiao could barely hold it in his hands. But now that a few months have passed, he doesn't know whether it's because he often drinks supernatural water or because there is no shortage of food and drink at home. This tiger The cub was growing very fast and was almost as tall as an adult's waist. It was really inappropriate to call it a tiger cub, so I simply changed its name to Ah Huang.

"Ah Huang, go and help me catch a few more rabbits." Jiang Xiaoxiao simply handed over the task of catching rabbits to the tiger.

"Ow~"

Ah Huang responded, then turned around and rushed into the rabbit nest. When the hiding rabbits saw the ferocious tiger, a fear came from their blood. The rabbits were immediately trembling with fear and did not dare to move. one time.

Ah Huang effortlessly picked up one in his mouth and put them all into Jiang Xiaoxiao's hands.

Jiang Xiaoxiao picked up the rabbit by the neck and handed it to her mother.

The knife fell from Jiang Wei's hand, and he slashed a rabbit, followed by skinning and deboning... smoothly and neatly.

Jiang Xiaoxiao, who was watching next to her, was stunned for a moment. Oh my god, her mother-in-law is so amazing!
When will she learn this unique skill?

However, she didn't even dare to kill a chicken in modern times, so she still didn't dare to kill these lively rabbits...

As soon as Jiang Wei finished slaughtering a rabbit, Ah Huang brought a caught rabbit in his mouth, eliminating the need for the mother and daughter to chase the rabbit.

Moreover, it followed Jiang Xiaoxiao's instructions and did not capture pregnant female rabbits and baby rabbits.

The cleaned porcelain basin was already filled with cleaned rabbit meat. Jiang Wei was still killing the rabbits. At this time, she suddenly made a sound of "eh".

"What's wrong, mother?" Jiang Xiaoxiao held the rabbit that was struggling and escaping in her hand firmly, and turned around to look.

Her mother was holding a peanut-sized stone in her hand, which seemed to have been pulled out of a rabbit's head, with blood and yellow-white brains still on it. (End of chapter)
