Peace Village.
Taking advantage of the good weather, Jin washed a large basin of clothes; their family's clothes were all thin garments taken from the dead.
If it weren't for the good sunshine, I wouldn't dare to wash clothes at all.
If you have to wear smelly clothes for another two weeks, you'll start to stink!
Jin, who had just splashed dirty water into the courtyard in front of her house, looked up and saw a magnificent carriage heading towards her house.
The thatched hut that Lu Dazhuang brought them to was in a remote location, and only their family lived there. During the day, when the men were not at home, Jin was somewhat apprehensive.
Why would anyone come at this time?!
Just as Jin was racking her brains trying to figure it out, the carriage stopped, and a maid got out and helped a woman in a pale yellow dress.
However, this woman looked somewhat familiar to Jin.
"His father! His father!" Jin shouted, "Come out quickly!"
Lu Dazhuang, wrapped in a thin quilt, went out the door, cursing under his breath, "You wretched woman, what are you yelling about? Do you want me to freeze to death and live like a widow?"
Normally, Jin would have retorted a bit, but now her mind was entirely on the woman who had stepped down from the carriage.
Jin said, "Look at that person, doesn't he look like Changping?"
Only then did Lu Dazhuang notice that behind the two women were several burly men dressed in shorts.
Upon closer inspection, the woman in the pale yellow dress was none other than his daughter, Lu Changping!
However, after not seeing her for a while, Lu Changping was able to ride in a carriage with so many people by her side. Could it be that she had some kind of good fortune?
Without thinking twice, Lu Dazhuang rushed over, "Changping, what exactly happened? Tell your father quickly."
Lu Changping smelled the unpleasant odor on Lu Dazhuang's thin blanket, frowned in disgust, and used her hand to disperse the smell.
Upon seeing this, Lu Dazhuang's face immediately darkened, and he cursed inwardly: This brat, how dare she look down on her own father.
Jin also went to greet her, "Oh, Changping, where have you been? Tell your mother quickly."
Remembering her purpose, Lu Changping said calmly, "Let's go inside and talk."
"Alright, alright," Jin Shi said, seeing the gold and silver jewelry on Lu Changping's head, she wished she could worship Lu Changping, so how could she not agree?
Back in the house, Lu Shi and Lu Changhu heard the commotion outside and got up curiously, going to the main room.
Before they could even react to what was happening, they heard Lu Changping say, "Break the legs of the men and tie up the women!"
The sudden turn of events caught Lu Dazhuang and his men off guard. In no time, they were either tied up or had their legs broken by Lu Changping's men.
Immediately, cries of agony and curses erupted from inside the house.
"All of you may leave," Lu Changping said, and the attendants and maids all withdrew.
Only Lu Dazhuang's family remained in the house.
Seeing her husband and son faint from the pain, Jin cried out in tears, "Changping, what are you doing! These are your own father and your own brother!"
"Dad, brother, I spit on you!" Lu Changping's vulgarity was on full display.
"When I was heavily pregnant and begged you to take me in, why didn't anyone stand up and say that I was their relative!"
It's too late to talk about family ties now!
I want you to live in agony every day! To live without hope! To want to die but dare not die! To want to live but suffer!
Lu Changping gradually became delirious, laughed wildly a few times, pushed open the door and walked out.
The sunlight was so bright that she could barely open her eyes, but the hatred in her heart was released, and she felt much better.
She wanted them to live in thatched huts forever, and never be able to go to the new capital to find her!
Thinking of the immense wealth that awaited her in the future, Lu Changping was filled with anticipation!
...
The spring sunshine is gentle, making it the perfect time for sowing.
Lu Dahai’s whole family went out to plant rice, and Lu Qiqi took the opportunity to take out the rice from her space.
She had soaked the grain seeds in the spiritual spring water. Since the spiritual spring water has detoxifying properties, it must also have a miraculous insect-repelling effect.
Li Qingshan, who had been growing rice for so many years, had never seen rice seeds with plump grains. He laughed and said, "Seventh Girl, you bought good rice seeds. I just don't know if we can grow such good rice."
It is important to understand that even without natural disasters or man-made calamities, there is a high chance of a complete crop failure when growing grain.
Lu Qiqi said confidently, "Uncle, this grain seed is good, it will definitely yield a high yield."
Products from Lingquan Space are bound to be extraordinary; high output is simply a basic requirement.
Li Qingshan handed the rice seeds to Madam Lu. Lu Qiqi then remembered something and asked, "Uncle, when we grow rice, should we start with seedlings and transplant them, or should we plant them directly in the ground?"
Li Qingshan said, "Is there any particular reason for this? We used to only plant one season, and we didn't know what the rules were like in the south."
Lu Qiqi analyzed, "The frozen soil in the north can only grow one season of rice, and it has to warm up before it can be planted. In the south, the weather is warm, so two seasons of rice can be planted, and seedling cultivation and transplanting can better guarantee high yields."
After listening for a while, Madam Lu said, "Let's do as Qiqi says, raise seedlings and transplant rice."
Li Changlong wiped the sweat from his forehead with the dry cloth around his neck and said, "Let's give it a try, maybe it will really work."
Once they decided on raising seedlings and transplanting rice, the family had more time to prepare the fields and didn't have to rush.
However, just as Lu Qiqi and the others had sown the rice seeds in the ground to cultivate the seedlings, it was as if the sky had a leak, and it rained heavily for several days in a row.
Fortunately, Lu Qiqi came up with a good idea.
She asked Li Qingshan to go up the mountain and cut some bamboo, then cut the bamboo into two-meter-long strips and made them into curved shapes.
Then insert both ends of the bamboo strips into the soil to make rows of small arched frames, and cover the arched frames with tarpaulins.
This method not only prevents rain from washing away the seeds and causing waste, but also protects them from rain.
It will also prevent the rice seeds from being soaked and damaged, which could lead to seedling failure and the seedlings not growing.
The idea of killing two birds with one stone quickly spread throughout the village, prompting many villagers to follow suit.
Lu Qiqi didn't hold back either, sharing all her knowledge without reservation.
For a time, everyone in the village regarded Lu Qiqi as a descendant of Shennong, who had come down to earth specifically to save them.
They suffered from frost damage just before the Lunar New Year. If this batch of seeds and grains is also damaged, they will truly have no way to survive.
They can't live off burning charcoal forever. Once the weather warms up, who will still sell charcoal to burn? All they'll be left with is empty savings!
Lu Qiqi was also happy to be able to help the villagers. In this world of constant war and turmoil, helping farmers and enriching farmers is the key to a strong and prosperous nation.
However, Lu Qiqi's joy was short-lived; she soon heard that some people were causing trouble in the veterans' village downstream.
They were shouting that the people from the veterans' village had polluted the river, leaving them without clean water to drink.
Lu Qiqi had just heard the news and wanted to take advantage of the overcast weather to go and check the situation.
Just as I reached the intersection leading into the village, I saw Li Shoucai running hurriedly towards the village entrance.
He was running so fast that his shoe fell off, and he had to turn back to pick it up.
Lu Qiqi called out to him, "Uncle Shoucai, why are you in such a hurry? What happened?"
Li Shoucai quickly put on his shoes, looked up and saw Lu Qiqi, panting heavily, "The officials... the government has come and arrested the village chief! Girl, what are we going to do!"
