Su Ruanruan learned from original memories that Yangcheng Village and even the entire Yinchuan County grew crops twice a year.
As for places farther away, there is no memory, so Su Ruanruan has no way of knowing.
After the autumn harvest every year, wheat is planted, and a small amount of rape is also planted.
The next spring, rapeseed bloomed and wheat began to grow rapidly.
Rapeseed is harvested in May, and wheat is harvested in early June.
This time is called summer harvest.
Not long after the summer harvest, summer planting begins.
What is grown this season is basically corn, peanuts, sorghum, sesame and other miscellaneous grains.
It stands to reason that in two seasons a year, even if you are not rich, you can still have enough to eat every meal.
But now the taxes are heavier and the yields in the fields are low. It would be good if the food grown throughout the year, after excluding what is handed in, can feed the family seven to eight cents full.
Fortunately, every household has opened a vegetable plot in addition to the farmland, grows some vegetables, and raises a few chickens, ducks, pigs and geese for subsidies, so they can always survive.
But this is a time when there is no illness or disaster.
Because life is about to get through, and no one has much money left. Once someone gets sick, the family will be drained.
Now it happens to be a time of drought again. The vegetables in the vegetable fields have not been planted yet, so it is so difficult for the family to eat.
People have short calves, and Yangcheng Village is vast and sparsely populated. After walking around for a while, Su Ruanruan was already covered in a thin sweat.
However, it is impossible to find any way to make money in the village.
So Su Ruanruan looked at Su Laixi again, "Fourth brother, let's go for a walk in the mountains!"
When Su Laixi heard this, her little head shook like a rattle, "No, no, no! Ruanbao, you're not recovered yet! How can you go to the mountains! We've already gone around in a circle, why not go home?"
Of course Su Ruanruan didn't want to go home.
Although she knew that it didn't matter how long she stayed here, but if she could go back earlier, she still hoped to go back earlier!
Xiao Chengjin obviously had the same idea as Su Ruanruan. His bridal night hadn't even begun yet!
"Let's go to the mountains and have a look! Maybe we can find something delicious!"
Children are always very concerned about what they eat. When Xiao Chengjin mentioned food, Su Laixi, who was not very willing just now, became shaken.
Seeing this, Su Ruanruan hurriedly said a few more words. The child Su Laixi, who was originally weak in willpower, completely surrendered, "Okay then! Let's go!"
Su Laixi thought, anyway, the eldest, second, and third brothers are all in the mountains. They can meet each other when they go there, and there is no need to worry about safety.
Su Ruanruan and Xiao Chengjin were in high spirits when they went to the other side of the mountain.
But when they actually reached the foot of the mountain, the two of them were dumbfounded.
Is this really a mountain
To put it nicely, it’s a mountain; to put it worse, it’s just a higher slope!
Su Laixi pointed to the slope and said to Su Ruanruan and Xiao Chengjin, "We can only walk around here. We can't go inside, otherwise we will get lost."
Su Ruanruan and Xiao Chengjin looked at each other and nodded feebly.
They had given up hope in the mountains.
Su Ruanruan had previously thought of hunting a wild boar to improve her family's life, but now she simply died before she left the battlefield!
The two people followed Su Laixi up the slope with their heads drooping. The slope was about six or seven meters high, but it was a gentle slope and had been stepped on by people in the village. There's a way out, and it's not difficult at all.
