An autumn rain and a cold.

Yan Qixun leaned against the door frame of the main hall of the thatched mud house, looking at the falling autumn rain outside, feeling extremely melancholy.

There was a fire last night and she was choked by the smoke. When she woke up, she inexplicably awakened the memories of her previous life.

Looking at her thatched house that looked like the one from the 1950s and 1960s in her previous life, Qixun felt that she had died carelessly in her previous life.

I tossed and turned all night long, not knowing whether to be happy or upset.

Just... I feel quite complicated.

After thinking about it all night, I could only sigh, Meng Po Tang is also cutting corners these days. Otherwise, if she had happily reincarnated and lived in this ancient mountain village for eight or nine years, how could she have remembered what happened in her previous life again?

Can you no longer happily be a carefree little peasant girl in ancient times?

However, you should not just think about the worst in everything. Maybe there is nothing wrong with Meng Po Tang. It is purely because she was the most talented and youngest 38-year-old academician of the two academies of China in her previous life, and she made outstanding contributions to the development of science and technology in the motherland.

She has made great contributions and has great merits, but she was reincarnated as a poor peasant girl. The dynasty she lived in was not very friendly to women, so God gave her extra rewards to compensate, so she was allowed to open a cheat to awaken the memories of her previous life.

?

Do you feel better if you think about it this way?

Yan Qixun actually has no regrets about her untimely death in her previous life. She died to save others, which can be regarded as an honorable sacrifice. Her parents have passed away, her brother-in-law has another family, and she is still single and is responsible for the experiment.

The project happened to be successful, and the country I lived in was already the most powerful country in the world more than ten years ago.

Die without regrets.

What makes her sad is that the home she is currently living in was burned to ashes by a fire yesterday. Except for two boxes of books, nothing was saved.

Of course, fortunately, everyone is fine.

Now their family is temporarily living in the house where her grandfather lived when he was still alive, which is only about ten meters away from the burned-out courtyard of her family.

After her grandfather passed away, this house had been empty. It was originally a house with mud walls and thatched roof. It had been unoccupied for several years and had become dilapidated. Fortunately, there were three rooms, and her parents repaired the roof every year, at least it was not leaking.

Even if it rains, people can still live there.

However, living a life is not just about having a house.

Yan Qixun shrank his shoulders.

I only had the middle coat I wore when I slept yesterday, which was very thin and stained with cigarette ashes. However, I had no change of clothes.

It is now the beginning of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and winter is about to begin. The weather is getting colder and colder, and the family now has no food, no clothes or bedding. From the burned house, only all the family's livestock, less than five thousand dollars, were found.

Two pieces of silver and more than two hundred copper coins.

She couldn't enter the portable space in her previous life, and now she didn't know if the space had disappeared or if it was temporarily inaccessible, so she had to prepare for the worst.

The eldest brother Pian went to Beijing with his father to take the exam, and he won't be back until April next year at the earliest. My mother is a lady, good at chess, music, calligraphy and painting, so she can't hope to support the family. The second brother and the third sister are triplets with the eldest brother, only twelve

Years old. She and her fifth sister are twins. They are only eight years old. They are not old enough to support a family. It is difficult for them to survive this winter safely.

At least she can't stand the cold now.

Looking at the rain outside, Yan Qixun wiped her face and sighed again, but she really didn't want to lie down in the house and rely on the straw and a broken quilt to keep warm.

In this damn ancient time, transportation basically relies on walking, communication basically relies on shouting, heating basically relies on shivering, entertainment basically relies on...ah, what are you thinking!

The poor genius shrank his shoulders coldly, put aside the vomit that was about to fill the screen in his heart, and began to figure out how to use his brain to make money to support his family. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the creak of the bamboo fence door being pushed open.

.

The person who came was a woman who was nearly fifty years old. In this era, she was considered an old man and could call herself an old woman.

But she is her only neighbor, the grandma of the Zuo family.

The Zuo family consists of an old couple and one son. Because they are hunters, they do not live in the village for the convenience of going up the mountain, but live at the head of the village at the foot of the mountain. It is about 200 meters away from where the villagers live.

Yan Qixun's father, Yan Yongwu, was born in the capital. He lost his parents when he was young and was raised by his grandparents. When he was fifteen, his grandparents who served in the Hanlin Academy in the capital passed away. He supported Ling and returned to his hometown, settled down in his ancestral home from the capital, and got married.

Later, they became neighbors with the Zuo family.

Qixun saw Zuo's grandma coming in the rain and asked quickly: "Grandma, why are you here now?"

Grandma Zuo was wearing a thatched coir raincoat and carrying a bamboo basket. The basket was wrapped in oilcloth and she didn't know what was inside.

After asking, he closed the fence gate and walked quickly through the mud to the door. While picking the mud off his shoes and entering the house, he said: "I think you suffered a disaster last night. I guess there is nothing at home, and our family can't help."

What else, I can still get some rice and noodles out. I'm afraid you won't have anything to eat in the morning, so I'll send you some. Why are you the only one in the house? Where are your mothers and the others?"

Before Qixun could answer, the grandma of the Zuo family put down the basket, took Qixun's hand and said in surprise: "Oh, my little darling, you only wear this, why are you standing like this? It's cold now, don't you get sick again?"

What's going on? Go and lie down on the bed. You still have to think of something and find some thicker clothes."

The grandma of the Zuo family knew that her house was in a fire. Except for a few taels of silver, a few copper plates, and two boxes of books, nothing else was taken out.

The tattered quilt they slept on last night was sent by Zuo's grandma, and the tattered quilt belonged to Zuo's uncle. He said he was an adult and had nothing to do with staying up all night, so he lent it to her for the time being.

Seeing that Qixun had a fever yesterday, Qi Xun Niang borrowed it once. Today she has to give it back.

It was also because she fainted yesterday and had a slight fever. This morning, her mother took her brother, sister and sister out to find a solution, so she left her at home.

Qixun saw the worried look on Zuo's grandma's face and said hurriedly: "My mother took my brother to the town to buy bedding cloth, while my sister and my sister went to my great uncle's house to borrow food."

Grandpa Zuo's family is in poor health and has been taking medicine. Therefore, even though he is a hunter, life is actually difficult. His family only has three acres of dry land and needs to buy his own rations. How can the Qixun family have the nerve to borrow from his family?

grain?

That's why the third sister and her younger sister went to borrow food from her great-uncle. This great-uncle was not an outsider, he was her great-grandfather's biological brother. The two families were blood relatives before they were born.

Because it is far away from the village, the fire last night did not alarm the tribesmen. The fire on the left and right was also burned at that time. Why should the villagers be alarmed again in the middle of the night?

But now, the clan members probably know about it too.

After all, her home is at the end of the village, and she has to pass by here when entering or exiting the village. No one from the clan came here at the moment, probably because her elder sister and her younger sister went to the village.

Zuo's grandma put her to bed and wrapped her in a thin shabby quilt, then said: "Although the harvest is poor this autumn, your great-uncle's family has thirty acres of paddy fields after all, plus the ten acres rented from your family.

acres of paddy field, life is pretty good, but I can help you a little. Besides, your great-uncle is still alive, and he always loves you great-grandchildren and will not see you suffer. I only gave you a few kilograms.

Miscellaneous flour and two kilograms of rice, enough for you to eat for a few days."
