Ye Shuang lay on the bed. Before, without spiritual power, she didn't dare to release her divine sense much. Now that she had spiritual power, she directly spread her divine sense to cover the entire village. At this moment, no matter what happened in this small village, big or small, nothing could escape her "eyes".
Soon, she saw Li Mantian leading Li Wenyi to that house in a hurry. Now the house was covered in white, and a coffin was placed in the middle of the courtyard. White candles and a brazier were placed in front of the coffin. Li Mandi and Huang Juan were kneeling beside the brazier. When someone came to light paper money, they would kowtow to thank the person.
The winter wind was biting cold, and the white cloth fluttered in the air. Everyone's faces seemed to be covered with a layer of ice as they stood in the cold wind. Only the faint flame on the white candle was still emitting a little warmth.
As soon as Li Mantian arrived, he led Li Wenyi to set up a tent, greet guests, and serve tea and water. Out of respect for Li Mantian, the villagers would also come to pay their respects, but it was hard to tell whether their sincerity was genuine or not.
They were busy until nightfall before Li Mantian sent Li Wenyi to help Huang Juan back to their home to rest, while he and Li Mandi stayed here to keep watch.
Huang Juan did not refuse; she really couldn't kneel down anymore.
Upon arriving at the warm main room, Huang Juan was still somewhat dazed and lost in thought, seemingly not quite understanding how things had developed to this point.
Holding Huang Juan's cold hand, with tears in her eyes, Li kept saying, "It will be alright afterward, everything will be alright from now on."
Huang Juan let out a long sigh, her tone unusually calm: "Will things really get better?"
Ye Shuang could clearly see a tear slide down her cheek and disappear into her collar.
This was a year destined to be bleak, but no matter how bleak it was, it didn't affect Ye Shuang. She simply changed her clothes to mostly plain colors and ate mostly vegetarian food, since she wasn't picky about these things.
So, while others found those days unbearable, Ye Shuang spent them quite comfortably.
After the start of spring, the most important thing comes next, and that is spring plowing.
As the saying goes, "The year's plan starts in spring." Since ancient times, everyone has regarded spring plowing as the most important thing in the year, and their family is no exception.
Li Mantian had already prepared all the seeds. Their land belonged to their family. After paying some grain tax at the end of the year, the rest was their own food. Whether they could have enough to eat depended entirely on this, so he couldn't help but take it seriously.
On the day of spring plowing, the whole family had to go out, even the youngest Ye Shuang. Li Mantian even made a small plow for Ye Shuang, but it was made entirely of wood.
When Ye Shuang saw the plow, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What good was this? Wouldn't it break if you just ruffled it a few times?
However, she still happily accepted, since it would be quite interesting to go in and have some fun, and she had never farmed before!
Even on the day of spring plowing, before the sun had risen and the early spring breeze still carried the chill of winter, the entire village was no longer filled with yellow dust. Instead, one could see lush green leaves hanging on the branches that had been barren all winter.
Li Mantian led his whole family to their land. Although it wasn't big, it represented their family's hope. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, let's get started!"
What do you need to do at the beginning of farming? Ye Shuang watched them curiously as they kept loosening the soil, throwing stones, loosening the soil again, throwing stones again, over and over again.
Ye Shuang glanced at the land beside her, where she saw people working diligently.
After watching for a while, she seemed to understand something, so she dragged her little wooden plow back and forth again and again. When she saw the stones, she followed the example of others and threw them on the dirt road next to each field.
