    The journey home was very quiet, I didn¡¯t meet anyone or encounter any obstacles.  They worked hard, and it took only a day and a half to reach the hillside where Jiang Dashan was rescued by Dalang and the others.

    "Do you think it's getting warmer here?" Xie Wu asked.  It had only been a few days since they came out, but the snow here actually seemed to be melting.

    "Yes." Jiang Dashan naturally discovered it.

    "That's great. Please melt the snow quickly. Once it melts, it will be much easier for us to come out." Mr. Xie said.  Maybe it's because of its geographical location, or maybe it's because it's so sparsely populated. The entire reed forest is cooler than the outside.  Along the way, the snow is the thickest here.

    "Yes. It's already February, and the snow should melt." Jiang Dashan smiled.

    As soon as they entered the village, the children all cheered.

    "Uncle, you are finally back." Dalang smiled and greeted him.

    "Brother, how are you?" Xie Shuer asked.

    "We got some food. Let the three families share some, and we can eat it for a while." Mr. Xie said with a smile.

    Soon, everyone knew what was happening outside.  As soon as she heard that there were dead people all the way, Mrs. Xie chanted Buddha's name repeatedly.  Aunt Liu also turned pale with worry.  Everyone understands that given the situation, these miserable days are likely to continue for a long time.  Naturally, Mr. Xie, Jiang Dashan, and Xie Wu concealed the true situation of obtaining the food.

    With food, not only the adults will be in a better mood, but the children will be happier.  Xinhu specially cooked some thick porridge that day, and everyone had a hearty meal.

    Seeing the children eating porridge, Jiang Dashan felt heavy in his heart and was not happy at all.  This little food can last a month at most.  After eating, he still had to go out to get food, but the situation outside was worse than he imagined, and he didn't know where to get food.  Even if you take other routes and go to other towns, you may not be able to get food.

    Fortunately, the weather is getting better as promised. The sun is getting hotter day by day and the snow is melting quickly.

    Adults and children all started to play outside, and even Aunt Zhang started to slowly stretch her fists and legs outside.  Little Chuba is three months old and can laugh.  Xiao Shitou also looks like an older brother and helps adults look after his younger brother.

    March has arrived in a flash, and the heavy snow outside has basically melted, revealing in some places the earth that has been dormant all winter.  The earth is rapidly returning to spring, and some tender green shoots are beginning to appear in the cut reed forest.

    "We can finally plow the fields." Dalang found all the farm tools early in the morning and polished them.

    After breakfast, under the leadership of Dalang, all three families went out.  The men come out to work, the women come out to experience it, and the children come out just to join in the fun.

    "Hey, there are a lot of fields here." Jiang Dashan smiled.  It would be great if Da Lang, Xin Hu and Aunt Liu could only grow a small half.  Now that there are many people, including four young and strong men, plowing these fields is no longer a problem.

    "This is at least ten acres of land." Mr. Xie made an estimate and said.  If this field is fertile, the output of ten acres of land will be enough for Dalang and Aunt Liu's family.

    Mrs. Xie rarely came out of the village and walked half a circle around the fields in high spirits. Naturally, Xie Shuer and Wang had to follow her.  Aunt Zhang took a big basket and put her little son in it. She stayed at home longer than everyone else and walked around with the same relish.

    The remaining Ping'er had been to this place before, but had also been locked up at home for the whole winter. He was also very interested now. The other children naturally followed his example and soon gathered together.  I don¡¯t know who took the lead in making mud. After a while, everyone¡¯s hands were covered with mud, and they all looked like little dirty monkeys.

    "Oh, you kid, you are so dirty, go home, go home." Aunt Zhang ran over and took a look, and immediately shouted.  The weather is actually still very cold, and everyone is still wearing thick winter clothes. There is no need to change the big coat if it gets dirty.

    The little stones are actually better, but the three little ones, Dabao, Amao and Atu, are even dirtier.  Especially A Tu, probably because he had never played with mud before, he was very interested and played the most energetically, and of course he was the dirtiest.

    Seeing this, Mrs. Xie picked up a bunch of children and went back to the village with Aunt Zhang, Xie Shuer and Wang. She didn¡¯t dare to let the children make trouble here. The children would have to wash several basins of dirty water back home.

    Xie Wu was the first to go to the ground and took the biggest shovel to dig the ground. Everyone else picked up farm tools and went to the field.

    "Hey, Brother Xiaowu, you dug too deep, look at me." Dalang buried his head and dug two shovelsWe can also bathe by the river, with a sheltered place.  "The more Xin Hu thought about it, the more he felt that it was extremely necessary to build a shed on the shore.

    "Yes, if the structure is bigger, we can also store lotus roots in the shed, and clothes that cannot be dried can also be brought into the shed." Aunt Liu added.

    The discussion between the two was in full swing, and they could not wait to call Jiang Dashan and the others to come over and build a shed immediately.  So much so that I forgot to look for wild vegetables.

    The sun was setting in the west, and the two of them had already cut a pile of reeds.  Anyway, they didn't plan to take it back and burn it, so the two of them tied it up in no hurry and threw it directly on the shore.  The horses were carefully nibbling on the tender reed buds that had just emerged.

    "How about we pick some of this and go back to eat." Xin Hu asked.  She knew it was definitely edible. The most common way to make rice dumplings is to make them with reed leaves. But she didn¡¯t know if it was delicious. After all, she had never eaten it. But seeing the horse eating so enthusiastically, she squatted down, picked a piece, and put it in.  I tasted it in my mouth and found it was still very tender.

    Aunt Liu had never eaten it before, but she also knew that it was edible, so the two of them dug some sprouts and took them home.

    In the evening, each family fried a pot of tender reed shoots with bacon and served it to the table. Jiang Dashan and Dalang were stunned.

    "Did you really find wild vegetables?" Dalang asked.  It¡¯s a rare green color on the table.

    "Try it and see." Xin Hu gave up.  She tasted it when it was fried and thought it tasted pretty good.

    Dalang and Jiang Dashan both picked up a handful of reed sprouts with chopsticks and tasted them. Jiang Dashan said, "What is this? It doesn't look like a vegetable?"

    "That's right, it doesn't look like wild vegetables, it looks a bit like grass." Dalang said.

    "You just tell me whether it tastes good or not." Xin Hu said with a smile.

    "Not bad." They both replied at the same time.

    "That's enough. We can get some more to eat tomorrow. These are the young shoots of the reed." Xin Hu smiled and solved the secret.

    "Oh, it turns out it's this thing. We have food to eat every day." Jiang Dashan was stunned for a moment and said with a smile.

    "Finally there is an extra dish on the table. It's not easy." Dalang sighed.

    Even Dabao and Amao ate two more chopsticks of vegetables, eating cabbage and radish all winter long. Everyone actually liked the fresh reed sprouts very much.  The same goes for Aunt Liu's family. Aunt Zhang also said: "Finally something fresh to eat."

    "Ah Hu is so smart, I never thought of picking this and bringing it back to eat. I will also tell A Tu Niang tomorrow and ask her to get some and eat it too." Aunt Liu said.

    "This child has all kinds of things in his mind that we can't imagine." Aunt Zhang said.

    After dinner, Xin Hu brought up the matter of building a thatched shed on the shore.

    Jiang Dashan and Dalang naturally agreed.

    ¡°We will plow the ground for the next few days, and you can cut more dry reed poles. We will build them in a few days,¡± Jiang Dashan said.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
