She was robbed by the leader of the family and had three children.

Chapter 492 Harvest Season Chapter

As all parties got involved, the manpower was suddenly stretched to the limit.

So Ye Shu no longer stayed at home to read medical books and study. The most important thing now was to harvest the crops. He would have plenty of time to read and study during the winter.

Spring wheat and sorghum are ripe, and potatoes can be harvested immediately after harvest, followed by sweet potatoes and the like.

There are still about two months before the mountains are closed for winter, so it is definitely too late to plant crops, so we have to plant vegetable seeds quickly.

Things like radishes and cabbages, plant as many as you can. After all, when winter comes, there are so many mouths waiting to be fed!

In order to properly store food and vegetables, cellars had to be dug under the camp.

In fact, several cellars were dug when the house was first built, but now it seems that they are obviously not enough.

It can only be expanded.

Moreover, Political Commissar Lin was worried because the higher-ups started sending prisoners to them, and every new prisoner meant one more mouth to feed.

Almost half of the grain produced inside the wall is used to complete tasks, and the remaining is probably enough for the people inside the wall to eat.

Now another group of prisoners has arrived, and we don’t know how many of them there will be. When there is not enough food inside the wall, we will have to move them here.

So no matter whether the land is barren or fertile, as long as there is vacant land, you can plant seeds!

Not only that, the women would also squeeze out time to go up the mountain, pick all the edible wild vegetables, dry them into dried vegetables and store them.

When spring bamboo shoots were in abundance, they dug up a lot of them and dried them.

After the rain, they would go up the mountain and pick mushrooms.

Moreover, these wild vegetables and mushrooms cannot be picked and done. They must be cleaned and dried quickly for easy storage, otherwise they will lose their freshness if delayed.

So everyone is busy every day, so busy that even eating and sleeping seem like luxuries.

Everything is in preparation for winter.

The main reason is that the winter here is too long, almost from October to March of the following year. If we don’t prepare enough food, everyone will panic.

In order to save time, Ye Shu doesn't cook complicated dishes when she gets home.

There were a lot of canned meat in her space bag, all of which she had obtained on the pirate island.

So she opened a can every day, cooked some vegetable soup, and stewed an egg or steamed two fish for the children, and the four of them could eat happily.

The key is that the dishes are all freshly caught from the mountains, they are tender, delicious and fragrant.

The little ones’ teeth haven’t grown in yet, but if you chop the leaves into smaller pieces and cook them for a little longer, they can chew them by themselves and feel very satisfied.

After several days of rushing to harvest and plant, and then going up the mountain to pick vegetables, mushrooms, and dry them, everyone was exhausted.

Ye Shu was no exception. She was almost as tired as an ox or a horse. She really wanted to go into the river to relieve her fatigue and regulate her body functions!

But that wouldn't work. The river was quite far from the camp, and it wasn't safe for her to go alone. If she took a few more people with her, a lot of work would be delayed.

So I had to bear it and soak my hands and feet in hot water every day. Although it didn’t help much, it was better than nothing!

Finally, on this day, Huo Yisheng brought the team back!

Twenty prisoners were also brought back at the same time.

Suddenly there are twenty more people, which means twenty mouths to feed!

Political Commissar Lin and the others suddenly felt under tremendous pressure!

So we hurried to harvest and clear the land as quickly as possible, so as to plant more vegetable seeds before winter.

In this way, even if there is not enough food later, at least there are vegetables to eat. It may not fill you up, but you will not starve to death as long as you have vegetables and meat!

As soon as Huo Yisheng came back, Ye Shu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly urged him: "When are you free? Take me to the river. I'm so tired!"

Ye Shu rarely acted like this with him, and Huo Yisheng enjoyed it very much and had no resistance at all.

Moreover, he felt sorry for his wife because she was tired, which delayed him from eating meat in the evening!

So without saying a word, he handed the team he brought back to Political Commissar Lin for reorganization, and drove the donkey cart with Ye Shu to Xiahe.

It was only when they reached the river that they discovered that the river was overflowing and the water level had long exceeded the level when they first arrived.

It can be seen that the water volume upstream is even more turbulent.

This means that the surrounding resources will be quite abundant.

So, when Ye Shu went down to the river, Huo Yisheng got a lot of pheasants, wild rabbits, wild ducks, and eggs on the shore. He just picked up whatever he saw.

As soon as Ye Shu got into the river, he felt relaxed. He first floated in the water for a while, and only started fishing when he felt that all the discomfort in his body was relieved and he was full of energy.

Because there were only two of them, they couldn't drag too many fish ashore at once, so they brought them ashore in batches.

The fish caught were put into the wicker baskets they brought with them, and finally piled up on the carriage floor.

Fortunately, Huo Yisheng understood his wife and knew that she would not return empty-handed on her next trip to the river, so he specially brought several extra wicker baskets.

In the end, Ye Shu caught a lot of fish and Huo Yisheng caught a lot of wild animals. The two of them returned home with a carriage full of goods.

Ye Shu kept all the wild animals and eggs hunted by Huo Yisheng. She left some of them outside and put some of them into her space bag.

After these wild animals that cross the Ming Road are processed, they are made into bacon and dried meat, which can be stored for a long time and eaten slowly.

She got a cart full of fish, shrimp and crabs, kept two baskets for herself and distributed the rest.

Each family in the family compound gave a few big fish and some shrimps, and in exchange they received a lot of wild fruits and pheasant eggs, all of which the children picked up in the mountains.

Although the values are not equal, what wins is a heart of mutual help and gratitude.

In difficult circumstances, only by working together can we live a good life.

The rest were sent to the kitchen.

The soldiers have been very tired recently and have no time to go up the mountain to hunt. Their appetite is definitely not as good as before, and they all look a lot thinner.

When the soldiers saw these fish, they knew that they were brought by Ye Shu, and they were all very grateful!

That night, the camp, which was busy with harvesting and working, and had been suffering from stomach upset for a long time, finally smelled the long-lost aroma of fish!

Ye Shu's family also stewed fish, fresh silver carp soup, braised sea bass, steamed a few freshwater crabs, and stewed half a pheasant with some fresh wild vegetables and mushrooms, and finally served with white rice and white flour buns.

The whole family enjoyed the meal very much!

Although other families' meals could not match Ye Shu's, the quality was obviously much better than before.

This was in stark contrast to the base inside the walls, especially the twenty new prisoners.

The camp was filled with fragrance that made people drool, but they could only eat dry and black steamed buns.

The new "wall" has not been built yet and the house has not been roofed yet.

So, Political Commissar Lin gave them two tents so that they could squeeze together for the time being.

But when they were dividing the tents, they discovered that there were three women inside?
