Chapter 929: A Dream (10) (Update 57)
Su Ruanruan learned from her original memory that Yangcheng Village and even the entire Yinchuan County grew two crops a year.
As for places farther away, there was no memory of them, so Su Ruanruan had no way of knowing.
After the autumn harvest every year, wheat is planted, and a small amount of rapeseed is also planted.
The following 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, it is time to plant in summer.
The basic crops grown this season are corn, peanuts, sorghum, sesame and other grains.
It stands to reason that even if one is not rich, one should be able to have enough to eat every day during the two seasons of the year.
But now the taxes are heavy and the yield from the fields is low. After deducting the amount of grain that needs to be handed over, the remaining grain from the crops grown throughout the year can feed the family to about 70% or 80% full.
Fortunately, every household has a vegetable garden in addition to farmland, grows more vegetables, and raises a few chickens, ducks, pigs, and geese for subsidies, so they can always make ends meet.
But this is a time when there is no illness or disaster.
Because life was just barely getting by, and no one had much spare money. Once someone got sick, the family savings would be emptied.
Now it happens to be the period between the harvest and the summer harvest. The vegetables in the vegetable garden have not been planted yet, so it is so difficult to eat at home.
People have short calves, and Yangcheng Village is vast and sparsely populated. After walking around, Su Runruan was already sweating all over.
However, it is unlikely to find any way to make money in the village.
Therefore, Su Ruanruan looked at Su Laixi again, "Fourth brother, let's go to the mountains!"
Su Laixi shook his head like a rattle when he heard that. "No, no! Ruanbao, you are not well yet! How can we go to the mountains? We have already walked around, why don't we 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, she still hoped to go back earlier if she could! Xiao Chengjin's idea was obviously the same as Su Ruanruan's. His wedding night hadn't even started yet!
"Let's go, 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 Su Laixi, who had been reluctant just now, heard Xiao Chengjin mention food, he began to waver.
Seeing this, Su Ruanruan hurriedly said a few more words. Su Laixi, who originally had a weak willpower, now completely surrendered, "Okay then! Let's go!"
Su Laixi thought, since their eldest brother, second brother and third brother were all in the mountains, they would be able to meet them when they went there, and there was no need to worry about safety issues.
Su Runrun and Xiao Chengjin were very excited when they went to the mountain.
But when they really reached the foot of the mountain, the two were dumbfounded.
Is this really a mountain?
To put it nicely, it's a mountain. To put it bluntly, it's just a higher dirt slope! Su Laixi pointed at the dirt 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 weakly.
They no longer had any hope for the mountain.
Su Ruanruan had been thinking about hunting a wild boar to improve her family's life, but now she has died before she even accomplishes her goal!
The two men followed Su Laixi dejectedly up the slope. The slope was about six or seven meters high, but it was a gentle slope. The villagers had trampled it over and over again, and a path had been created, so it was not difficult to walk on.
