Time goes back to before nightfall, when the sun sets.
Basically, the original villagers of the village finished their dinner early, checked the debris under the threshold to see if it was buried properly, and then went to bed.
For them, when they are asleep and cannot hear the harassment and temptation of monsters outside, it is impossible to open the door for them.
As long as you don't open the door, your home will be safe.
Therefore, falling asleep is the best way to survive.
When the original villagers in the village were basically going to bed, the foreigners who had just been assigned houses had just received dinner sent by people from the village.
Similar to the house last night, the foreigners who had just integrated into the night village were still assigned houses in small groups.
The five members of the Minghuang Mountain Lingyu team lived together, the two brothers of the strong man duo lived together, the white-haired old man's family of four lived together, and the lonely scholar lived alone in a small room. house.
Others ate the food sent from the village, and basically felt like it was the same as yesterday, still tasteless and a pity to throw away.
Some people even took two bites and couldn't finish it. They chose to follow the advice of the old white-bearded village chief and went to bed early.
Only the white-haired old man and his family were still slowly tasting the food.
The white-haired old man picked up a piece of bacon and put it into his mouth. He closed his eyes and chewed it slowly. His face was full of enjoyment, as if he was tasting some unparalleled delicacy.
He chewed a piece of bacon in his mouth until it lost all taste, and then swallowed it reluctantly.
"This meat has to be eaten alone for it to be the most delicious! It's eaten with rice, and the rice takes away the flavor!" The white-haired old man said with emotion after finishing a piece of bacon, then picked up a chopstick of pickles and put them in In the bowl.
Finally, he picked up the bowl with one hand and pulled it with chopsticks in the other. He put the pickles and a big mouthful of rice into his mouth and chewed them slowly again.
The pickles that other people couldn't avoid and thought were too tasty seemed to become delicious food when they came to him, and he ate them with relish.
The white-haired old man chewed the rice for a while, swallowed it, and then looked at his youngest son and said: "Dongsheng, in the afternoon, I followed the village chief to take a look. There are many houses in the village. Alloted land.”
"Oh, it's not your father. I'm telling you, that piece of land is really amazing! It's so fat! I reached out and grabbed a handful, and I could feel the oil dripping from it!"
"There are just a lot of weeds in the field. I will take you to the field tomorrow to take a look, remove the weeds, and then plant some fruits and vegetables! We have hands and feet, and we always eat what is grown in the village. It’s not appropriate either!”
"Besides, if the village can provide us with food for ten days and a half, it's already pretty good. We can't expect to have to rely on the villagers for relief for the rest of our lives, right? What if the village stops distributing food? , you can’t just wait to starve to death, right?”
"As a human being, you still have to rely on yourself! We farmers still have to have land to feel at ease!"
"Okay, Dad. I understand. I'll go to the fields with you tomorrow." The honest middle-aged man who was eating rice raised his head and glanced at his father, and replied angrily.
The white-haired old man nodded and warned: "The village chief told me that that piece of land is the best and fattest piece of land in the whole village."
"In the past, I don't know how many foreigners who came here were eyeing that piece of land, but he was not willing to give it to me!"
"That's because I thought you and I liked each other, we had a good conversation, and we believed in our family's abilities, so we gave the land to our family."
"Our family has been tenants for so many years, and now we finally have our own land. You must work hard and work hard! Don't let this land down, let alone the village chief and the villagers. It’s a kind intention, do you hear it?”
"I heard you, Dad. Dad, don't worry. Others don't know what I'm capable of, don't you know? I don't have any other abilities, but when it comes to farming, I dare to say that no one can ...Well...except for dad, no one dares to be number one!" While the honest middle-aged man boasted, he also patted his dad on the back.
The white-haired old man was obviously very satisfied with the flattery of the honest middle-aged man. He nodded with satisfaction, took another mouthful of rice, and started chewing.
While chewing, the old man looked at his son and suddenly sighed: "Dongsheng, you are not young anymore. It is time for you to find a wife and give birth to a baby!"
The white-bearded old man said this to the honest middle-aged man, but before he responded, he made the woman feeding the child laugh.
"Haha!" The woman sneered, rolled her eyes, and said, "With our family's conditions, it doesn't matter what we want, why are we asking for a wife for my brother-in-law? It's good to be able to survive!"
"What's wrong with our family's family conditions?" The white-haired old man glared at the middle-aged woman and said, "In the past, our family had no money and no land, so why did Chunsheng marry you? Now our family has land after all. , why can’t Dongsheng find a wife?”
"Hmph!" The middle-aged woman snorted and said coldly: "The reason why I married into your family is because our family is poorer and my parents have several children to raise, so I want to Marry me while you can!"
"On the other hand, it's also because Chun Sheng is not only hard-working and capable, but also eloquent. The landlord likes his cleverness. I married Chun Sheng because I thought there was hope for him, so I came to marry you!"
"But who knew that it had only been a few years since I got married? Chunsheng was ruined by that bad old man like you, leaving us orphans and widowed mothers to suffer in this world! If I had known it would be like this, I would have married into the village Liu Tiejiang, the boss, will not marry into your family!"
The good mood of the white-haired old man just disappeared at this moment. He said with a pale face: "Chunsheng is my son! He is missing. Are you the only one sad? Are you the only one anxious? I am not heartbroken. I am not. Will you regret it?"
"Yes, our family is sorry for you and your son. But we tried our best to make up for it. Over the years, Dongsheng and I, even if we didn't have enough to eat or wear warm clothes, we worked hard to let you two eat. Fully clothed and warm, what else do you want?"
The middle-aged woman choked on the white-haired old man's words. After a while, she said angrily: "What do I want to do? I just want you to recognize this fact."
"When we came to this village, it can be said that we had nothing. The place to live, the food to eat, and the land for farming were all provided by the village!"
"To put it harshly, we are almost like beggars!"
"The people in this village have houses, fields, food and clothing, and their lives are much better than ours. Who would marry their daughter into ours?"
"Which parent doesn't want his daughter to marry into a good family? Those families who have daughters must want to marry their daughters into better families. How could they marry into our family? ?”
"Instead of daydreaming here, it's better to think about how to live a good life in the future!"
"Why are our lives better than ours now? Our family now has our own fields, and everything we grow belongs to us. My son is hardworking and capable, so won't our lives get better day by day?" The white-haired old man retorted a few words unconvinced.
After the eldest daughter-in-law finished retorting, the white-haired old man looked at his younger son and comforted: "Dongsheng, don't listen to your sister-in-law's nonsense, dad believes in your ability."
"We have nothing now, but we have fields. With fields, as long as we work hard, we will have vegetables and food in the future, and our lives will get better day by day!"
"When we don't have to worry about food and clothing, naturally, there will be many people who want to marry girls into our family!"
"Besides, people in the village may look down on us, but it's different for the foreigners who came with us. How can they work as efficiently as you?"
"The village chief told me this afternoon that the food allocated to us now is only temporary. After all, the village cannot support us for a lifetime! In the future, we will definitely be allocated fields to everyone so that everyone can be self-reliant and support themselves. !”
"If you think about yourself, you know how to farm, fish, and raise pigs, not to mention chickens, ducks, and geese. Isn't that what you do? But those outsiders are different."
"Think about other foreigners. Those few guys are either weak scholars who can't even kill a chicken, or they only know how to fight and kill. If you let them fight, they can do it. If you let them farm, they may not be able to kill. Can’t tell the difference between seedlings and weeds!”
"How can they compare with you in these aspects? When the time comes, our family will grow food, and the village will no longer distribute food. They will have nothing to eat, so they won't have to blame us for their begging?"
"When they beg us, are you still afraid that you won't be able to get a wife? Those girls, why don't you just marry whoever you want?"
