Pieces of green crops extend from the front of your eyes to the end of your vision. Between the fields, farmers lead cows and hoes to walk on it. On both sides of the official road, in the stone-built ditches, the gurgling water rustled and flowed into the distance along the official road. In the past two years, more and more roads in Zhengyang County have been built, and the ditches that irrigate the fields are crisscrossing, like a spider web, and now they have basically covered the corners and corners of Zhengyang County.

"There is such a big change!" A voice sounded with emotion, "It has become like this in just two years."

"Yes, General, this was a wasteland at the beginning, and it was also one of the battlefields for us to fight the Ming people. Now, it has become a fertile land." A voice sounded.

"I don't know how many corpses of our comrades are buried under this land." Another hateful voice sounded.

Under the shade of a tree, three peddlers put the burden aside. One of them carried a gourd and walked to the side of the road, filled the gourd with water, and walked back.

"Everyone said, don't call him General, do you want us to be caught by Mingren?" The initial voice lowered his voice.

"Yes, General."

"Also call!"

"Oh, yes, yes, Brother Rong." One of them shouted, but couldn't help laughing.

"What's so funny?" The leader snorted coldly, sat on the ground, took the gourd, and drank a few big sips, "It's all changed a lot. Fortunately, I became more careful and asked clearly how the businessman went to Liuquan Chong, otherwise I would have to catch my blind spot when I got here."

"Brother Rong, it's getting late. It's time for us to leave. When we arrived at Liuquan, it was getting dark, so you just happened to sneak in to find your sister-in-law..."

"The three of us peddlers carried almost the same goods. They all ran to the same village to sell them, which was so eye-catching. I went in alone, and you two took the load to sell goods in other villages. When it was dark, we would wait for me outside the village. When we saw your sister-in-law, we had to go back. Since we entered Zhengyang County, I always felt a cold back and felt that something was going to happen."

"Brother, don't scare yourself. Who can think that you will come back! Even our boss, Tuoba, can you guess it if you are not a god? Just don't worry about going to see your sister-in-law."

"We're always frightened. Let's break up here, and we'll leave here tonight."

"Yes, brother!"

The three peddlers took on the burden and walked towards different roads at the fork in front.

These three people were naturally Murong Hai and his two personal guards who came out of the Hengduan Mountains. After being sent by Tuobayan, Murong Hai sent several personal guards to Hulao Pass to find out the news, but he took two clever men and walked along the business road of Yongping County in Hulao Pass and entered the border of Ming Feng, and then hid all the day and night to Zhengyang County.

After the barbarians were diverted from the four northern counties to various places, Murong Hai's wife settled in Zhengyang County. The barbarians who could be arranged to Zhengyang County were not ordinary people. The worst ones were once the barbarians who had the title of nobles. The number of these people was not large. After arriving in Zhengyang County, they were disbanded and distributed to various places in Zhengyang County. For example, Liuquan Chong here, there was only Murong Hai's wife.

In that great war, although the barbarians fought to the foot of Zhengyang County, they were besieged by the Ming army and then wiped out the entire army. Therefore, the people of Zhengyang County did not have much hatred for the barbarians, such as Murong Hai's wife Xiao Yuyin, who was a woman, and was lonely and helpless, was assigned to Liuquan after the fight. All they got was pity and did not suffer much.

However, a woman, with a son and a daughter, lived a hard life. Although Murong Hai was just a general and had a low position in the past, because they were all barbarian nobles, Xiao Yuyin was naturally a person who could open her mouth and get out of her hands, but now she has to make money to eat by herself.

In the first year, Xiao Yuyin knew nothing, thanks to the people in the village who came to help. If it were a barbarian man, he would definitely not be treated like this, but a woman can always arouse people's pity. As long as she works, she was under the command of the village chief, and the village helped to farm and harvest it.

Xiao Yuyin did not know the whereabouts of her man. At that time, this cavalry unit, led by Tuobayan, traveled thousands of miles, ran across several counties, and fled, but the news was extremely confidential. In the battle of Zhengyang, the barbarians were killed and injured, and tens of thousands of people died in battle. Later, when the population statistics were conducted, almost all the captured barbarian soldiers had contact with their families, but Xiao Yuyin's husband had no news, so she naturally thought Murong Hai was dead.

After a year, without any news, Xiao Yuyin was naturally desperate. She was born into a noble family and her knowledge was naturally not comparable to ordinary people. Just looking at the methods of Ming people to deal with barbarians, she knew that the barbarians could not be resurrected again, and she could only be a submissive person in Ming Kingdom in the future. Fortunately, Ming Kingdom treated barbarians quite well. People like herself actually had fields and land, and no one came to make things difficult for her. When she arrived here, she was ready to be bullied. Unexpectedly, the people here were so kind and helped her a lot.

But she could help for a while, but not for a lifetime. She thought very clearly about this. She could not farm, so she learned, and could not raise chickens and ducks, and to keep alive. The man died, but fortunately there was a son and a daughter. There was a school in the village. Although her son was only six years old, he also went to school to study.

She had to study. Only after reading can her son have the chance to make a name for himself. What she was most worried about was that her family's barbarian status would not be accepted by the Ming people's school. After her son turned six this year, she took the child to the school with hope. Unexpectedly, the school accepted it without saying a word. Not only did she accept it, but she was treated the same as other children in the village.

This made her cry.

Zhengyang County is rich, and each village has a small school. The expenses in the school are produced by the public in the village. Every household needs to pay a certain output as the income of the village at the end of the year. These incomes are used as the school fees in the village, building roads, digging ditches, and taking care of the elderly and widowed people.

Two years have passed, and Xiao Yuyin has changed from the aristocratic woman in the past to a genuine peasant woman, who can take on and put down all the farm work.

In the past two years, the village chief has introduced men to her. There are also several men in the village who are quite interested in her. Xiao Yuyin is a noble family. She is extremely outstanding in appearance and temperament. Even though she looks like a peasant woman now, her inner things are completely different.

However, Xiao Yuyin was unmoved at all. She was already thinking about working more, making more money, and raising her two children. Her persistence has won her a lot of reputation in the village. Everyone knows her will, but no one comes to talk to her anymore.

She stood up from the half-human-high crop field, threw a handful of weeds in her hand to the roadside, and looked at the crops that were growing well with satisfaction. This year is definitely a good harvest year. What satisfied her even more was that except for the acres of land that Zhang Da helped to plough in the village, she was responsible for the rest of the land. This year's harvest is definitely better than last year.

Last year, she saved five taels of silver, and this year, she should be able to save twenty taels.

Twenty taels were really not worth mentioning for her in the past, but now, it is indeed a big deal. It is time for me to make a new outfit. I looked at the blue cloth jacket with patches on my body, and there were a few places that were about to open. My daughter also had to make a few new outfits. Every time the little girl looked at other people's children in the village wearing new outfits, she always looked at her, which made people feel distressed.

I walked to the edge of the field, picked up a clay pot, and drank a few sips of water in the jar, but found that it was empty inside. Before I knew it, another half a day passed.

I looked up at the sky and it was time to go back. My daughter was playing with her friends in the village. For the past half day, she must be so dirty that she had no eyes. When I went back, I had to bathe her, feed pigs, chickens and ducks. I had to be busy until the third update of the night before I could go to bed. But this was great. I was so tired that I was paralyzed on the bed and didn't think about anything, which could dilute my sad memories.

He lifted the hoe and carried it on his shoulder, carried the clay pot in his other hand, and walked up the ridge of the field.

By the end of the year, it was time to set up a tomb for my husband. I had no money before, and I was also worried that I would be disgusted by the people here when I set up a tomb for my husband. However, two years have passed, and this worry gradually faded. In the future, the children should always have a place to be kowtow to their dead husbands.

"Mom, mom!" A crisp sound came from the front. I raised my head and saw a boy trotting over with a younger girl. It was his son and daughter. As expected, my daughter was so mixed that she had no eyes.

"Mom, I'm off school!" Walking to my mother, the little boy took the clay pot from his mother and held it in his hand. "Today, I am the first one again. The gentleman praised me. He said that I learned much faster than others."

When Xiao Yuyin heard her son being praised by his husband, she immediately smiled. After two years of here, she also knew the rules of the school here. The school in the village only teaches the most basic literacy, and then after completing her studies, she will have the opportunity to go to a better school in the county to continue to attend school. Her son only went there for the Chinese New Year this year, but she would have more words than many people who had been there a year earlier than him. As long as she could continue like this, she would definitely go to the county to go to school in the future. As long as she entered the county school, she could also be an official. If her son had a promising future and could go to the county to go to school, she would be an official. As for the Beijing University, uh, I thought too far.
