The Qin Empire planted rice in mid-May and harvested it in late September.
The imperial court improved highland barley into winter barley.
Although holly barley takes a long time to mature, it is more cold-resistant.
Sow in early October and harvest in mid-April.
In this way, people can grow crops twice a year and don't have to eat only pasta.
Many families also leave some land to grow corn and sweet potatoes.
Mid-April is the busy farming season.
The barley is all golden, which is really pleasing to the eye.
The increase in grain production is permanent, so no matter what is planted a hundred miles away from Qingshan Village, the harvest will be more than in other places.
County Magistrate Zheng attached great importance to this and collected some soil the year before last, but still could not find the cause.
These soils are no different from other soils.
Qingshan Village, the old Su family.
Su Ruiwen and Su Xingxue are already over one year and one month old.
The two babies walked steadily.
Although they look exactly the same, their personalities are different.
Su Ruiwen always frowns all day long, looking like an old man.
Su Xingxue is more eccentric, a typical devil in the world.
"Su Xingxue!" This is Su Bing who is reading a book.
He passed the examination and became a scholar last year.
Now I am preparing to go to the Imperial Examination Hall in the capital in August to take part in the Autumn Examination.
He was so angry that he grabbed Su Xingxue by the collar and lifted her up.
The fat kid who had made trouble raised his head, his little face covered with ink.
She was wearing a light blue dress, her braids were tied as a headband, and the back of her hair was tied up with a hairband, which made her look very cute.
"Die~Su Xingxue said slurredly, cutely.
Su Bing would not be fooled, he pointed at the book stained with ink.
"Who told you to draw on this?"
There was a picture of a big turtle on the dark blue cover, with the word "Dad" written crookedly on it.
Su Bing took a deep breath in anger and shouted outside the house in grievance.
"Madam, come quickly."
"What happened again?"
Liu Xia ran in with a spatula in her hand.
Su Bing pointed at the turtle with a sad face.
"Look."
"Su Xingxue, go play in the yard and wash your face yourself."
Liu Xia tried hard to suppress the smile on her lips and spoke sternly.
She had long discovered that the two dolls were extremely intelligent.
Even Raven, who is only one year old now, can recognize the Thousand Character Classic.
Not to mention Xingxue, whose little hands can't even hold a brush, but she can still write and draw.
It’s just that this little daughter gives her too much of a headache.
Su Xingxue curled her lips and her eyes were filled with tears.
She looked at Liu Xia pitifully, "Liang~"
"This trick doesn't work on me. Go wash yourself quickly. I have to deliver meals to your grandparents, grandfather and sister later. If you don't listen, mother will spank you." Liu Xia ignored Su Xingxue and turned to walk towards the kitchen.
Su Xingxue lowered her head, covered her butt, and walked obediently to the yard.
Su Ruiwen was sitting in the yard, holding a book in his little hands, and the book covered his face.
He grunted.
"Should!"
The twins, a boy and a girl, have been at odds with each other ever since they could walk.
Su Xingxue took small steps and ran to Su Ruiwen, smearing all the ink on her hands on his face.
She smiled with all eight teeth showing.
Four on top and four on the bottom.
Su Ruiwen frowned and walked calmly towards the kitchen.
What greeted Su Xingxue was a one-sided scolding from Liu Xia.
"Su Xingxue, be obedient to me!"
…
In the field.
Eight-year-old Su Yun was tying barley.
She didn't want to be a peacemaker between her brothers and sisters so she came to work to get some peace and quiet.
Li was cutting barley neatly in front. "Good boy, go home and have a rest."
"Grandma, it's okay. I practice martial arts regularly, so I can handle this little bit of work." Su Yun smiled.
At the back, she stacked the barley neatly, piled it together and tied it up.
Dashan and Xiaoshan's families have finished harvesting their land, and are now helping the Su family to harvest.
Liu Quanzheng carried the barley onto the cart and piled them up one by one.
She couldn't tell who she was calling, except her sister.
When Su Yun looked up, she saw the little fat boy running towards her in a staggering manner.
Not far away, Su Ruiwen was walking slowly with his hands behind his back.
Su Ruiwen quickened his pace when he saw Su Xingxue throw herself into Su Yun's arms.
He stepped forward and held out his hand.
"Hold~"
Su Yun is holding two babies.
Su Ruiwen put on a stern face and started to complain, "Xue, you are not good."
"Burp, bad~" Su Xingxue pointed at Su Ruiwen with her little hand.
Sparks flashed in their eyes.
[Here it comes again. Here it comes again. I have to be the referee again...] Su Yun decisively let go of the two kids and ran towards Liu Xia.
"Mom, what did you do today? I'm hungry."
"Braised pork, shredded potatoes with vinegar, and rice." Liu Xia said with a smile.
Even during the busy farming season, you need to eat some solid food so that you have the energy to work.
Su Yun decisively took the basket and shouted.
"Grandpa, grandma, grandpa, Uncle Dashan, Uncle Xiaoshan, it's time to eat."
Everyone stopped what they were doing and sat under the big tree to eat.
"You two, come home with mom for dinner." Liu Xia shouted.
Su Xingxue snorted softly, and Su Ruiwen also distanced himself from her.
The two little guys were walking at a distance, one in front of the other.
Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that everyone had gone back.
As they were eating, they saw Chief Su coming over happily.
He stood on the edge of the field and shouted.
"Today, the emperor appointed a crown prince and issued a general amnesty. Folks, we can have another good New Year."
After the Sioux chief finished shouting, he ran to another field and notified everyone one by one.
Su Yun was so shocked that the meat on her chopsticks fell into the bowl.
After a while, I figured it out.
[Now we can no longer follow the plot, the world has already changed, and with natural development, anything can happen. 】
Su Yun has also figured it out this year and will not just rely on the plot.
She also has her own thoughts on some things.
Su Huaiyi was relieved, his child has grown up.
It's good to think it through.
The villagers of Qingshan were all beaming with joy.
The emperor has issued a general amnesty, and the people do not have to pay taxes for a year.
All the food grown in the fields is our own. How can we not be happy?
The Su family was relatively calm. Since there was a scholar in the family, they didn't have to pay taxes.
It was completely dark when the busy people returned home.
Su Yun came back first.
She looked into the yard and didn't see her brother and sister, so she went into the yard.
[Fortunately, the two babies must have fallen asleep. ]
"Sister, knock."
[Woo~ I’m so scared~]
Su Yun patted her chest and turned around silently.
She saw her sister holding a sandalwood box, covered in dust.
When he smiled, he showed his eight teeth.
[This guy must have sneaked into the yard while his parents were asleep! ]
"Xingxue, where did this come from?" Su Yun sighed helplessly.
Su Xingxue put the sandalwood box on the ground and pointed at the jujube tree in the yard with her little hand.
Su Yun looked over and saw a hole dug under the jujube tree in the middle of the yard, and a little rabbit was piled up in the soil.
【This rabbit is cute. 】
[No, why is there a sandalwood box under the jujube tree? Could there be some treasure inside? ]
Su Yun stared at the box curiously.
"Sister, give me~"
Su Xingxue held up the box with a smile.
Su Huaiyi was originally pulling the cart with Liu Quanzheng at the back.
His eyelids kept twitching all the way.
"Quan Zheng, come and do it. I suddenly have a stomachache. I have to go home first."
After saying that, Su Huaiyi ran home in a hurry.
