The Lotus tribe immediately became lively because of Lin Yan's arrival.
In fact, people discovered the two boats as soon as they appeared, and Huayu soon brought people to greet them.
"Lin Yan, your trip took too long. We have been waiting for you to come back. The children in the tribe miss you the most and always ask when you will come back."
"Haha, I miss the children too." Lin Yan smiled and gave Huayu a big hug, "It's getting cold, let's go back and talk."
The group of people returned to the courtyard where Lin Yan and the others lived last year with smiles on their faces.
Huayu chuckled and said, "I've been sending people to clean this yard. Don't worry, just tell me what you need and I'll prepare it for you."
"You are so attentive. We don't know when we can come. You often send people to clean. It's really hard work."
"What's the trouble? Let them settle down first. You can go home with me and talk while eating, okay?"
Lin Yan responded with a smile, "Okay, I happen to be hungry, so of course I'd be happy to have a meal."
The two chatted while walking. By the time they arrived at Huayu's house, Lin Yan had already found out the general situation of the Lotus tribe this year.
When there are no emergencies, the tribe goes from dawn to dusk, repeating the process day after day, and few people would think of change.
In the hearts of tribal people, there is no idea of innovation and change. This is the most terrifying thing. If there is no one to guide, such a tribe may still be like this after thousands of years.
A closed environment with limited manpower, this is the current situation of the wasteland natives.
Huayu didn't think so. She said: "Since you taught reading and literacy last year, the children have all kinds of ideas and have too many questions. Most of us don't know how to answer them. Will you still teach them this winter in the cold season? ?”
This is what Huayu is most concerned about. She is an old lady with a unique vision. She insists on changing despite the opposition of some people with old ideas. She feels that people like Lin Yan are very capable people.
The Lotus tribe needs capable people to change the status quo so that the tribesmen can eat well, wear well, and live a better life.
Lin Yan thought for a while and said, "In the cold season, our people have nothing to do. If you want to learn, we will teach you."
"Of course we want to learn. Let's continue as we did last year. I'll make the arrangements. You just need to be here." Huayu was afraid that Lin Yan would regret it. study."
"Okay, I'm glad you can come." Lin Yan looked at the old lady with admiration. It's amazing that she is still in her forties and still has the ambition to seek knowledge.
The food at Huayu's house is very simple, porridge cooked with lotus seeds, served with a plate of fish and a plate of wild vegetables.
Wild vegetables are dried and stored, specially reserved for the cold season.
This kind of food was very shabby to Lin Yan, but in the Lianhua tribe, it was considered a well-fed family.
Most people can only eat a bowl of lotus seed porridge. However, you can’t add too many lotus seeds in the porridge. You have to be careful and plan carefully to survive the entire cold season.
Huaye couldn't help but ask while eating: "Lin Yan, what do you eat in Sun City? How many dishes are there in a meal? Can you be full?"
People who were eating subconsciously slowed down and pricked their ears. This was what everyone was concerned about.
Lin Yan's hand holding the food paused for a moment, and then he continued naturally: "In Sun City, there is a lot of food, so you can eat it with your belly open and you don't have to worry about going hungry. As for the number of dishes in a meal, it depends on the financial situation of each household. According to the situation, if you have money, you can eat well, but if you don’t have money, you can’t eat much. But even people without money can afford steamed buns and noodles and won’t go hungry. In a word, in Sunshine City, as long as people If you are not lazy and work hard, you will be able to live a good life."
Hua Luo asked curiously: "Is there really such a place? You can eat as much as you want, how happy that would be."
"You are so young, do you still know this?"
Lin Yan smiled, but felt sad in his heart. This was what most children in the wasteland looked like. From birth, we have to face a life of poverty and material scarcity, and our biggest wish is to have enough to eat.
Hua Luo nodded, "Of course I know. Even though I'm still young, I'm already capable of working. I know that if you want to have food, you have to work hard."
"Eat quickly." Huayu gave him a small piece of fish and turned to look at Lin Yan, "How did you keep so many people fed?"
"You have seen flour. It is wheat ground into powder. The Sun Alliance opened up wasteland and planted a lot of wheat, as well as rye, corn, etc., which are all edible. The more you plant, the more you harvest, and naturally It can feed so many people.”
Huayu looked at Lin Yan expectantly, "Can we plant it too?"
Lin Yan nodded and said affirmatively: "Of course. I have seen around the tribe and the terrain is flat. If we can open up wasteland and have seeds, we can naturally cultivate the land."
"It's too difficult to open up wasteland. It's hard to clear out those wild trees. It's very labor-intensive and it's not done well. More weeds grow in the ground." Huayumenqing said that there are people around the tribe who are clearing up wasteland to grow vegetables, but they are a very small number. .
Without good tools and relying solely on manpower, it would be difficult to open up wasteland.
Lin Yan was also aware of the current situation of the Lotus Tribe. She said, "Don't worry. I mentioned to you last time that Sun City has been developing wasteland for many years. It has a lot of experience and has all kinds of tools. You can learn from it."
After eating the meal, Huayu's mind continued to fluctuate, and he became more determined to go to Sun City.
In the cold season of this year, Lin Yan couldn't copy books, so he often went out to take classes when he had time.
She selected fifteen children, ranging in age from five to ten years old, and taught them individually, starting from the basics, and painted a profound mark on the children's young minds.
In addition to teaching knowledge, Lin Yan also taught the mysterious practitioners how to practice. Whether they can succeed or not depends entirely on the good fortune of these children.
At this time, they had no idea what just three months of teaching meant to their lives. But ten years later, they will understand that the turning point of life change is in this cold season, and even the entire Lotus tribe will benefit from this.
When they were ignorant, they were favored and benefited a lot.
Three months passed by in a blink of an eye, and the 18th year of the Solar Era came to an end.
When the weather warmed up and the glaciers thawed, Huayu and her two tribesmen, Huashu and Lianyu, followed Lin Yan and sailed to Sun City.
Standing on the bow of the boat, feeling the smoothness of the boat and the receding scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, Huayu and the others were very excited.
They had long wanted to board the ship to experience it, but never had the chance. Now, it's finally happened.
After actually getting on the boat, I realized that it was even better than looking at it. Who wouldn't want to own a boat like this?
If there was a Lotus Tribe, we could go wherever we wanted.
Lin Yan heard their conversation and interjected, "It's not possible to have a boat. Walking on water is also dangerous. There is still a lot to learn. If we dare to walk outside, in addition to relying on boats, we rely more on people."
The three of them looked at Lin Yan in confusion, not quite understanding what she meant.
Huomai explained with a smile: "When you go out, you still have to rely on your brain. We all listen to Lin Yan. We just do what she says and we avoid a lot of dangers."
She carefully explained to Huayu and the others what they should pay attention to when sailing. (End of chapter)
