Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 383
But Hu Yungen was more careful.

Then he asked his family and his daughter and son-in-law not to reveal how much money the family had sold for grain.

When I went for a stroll in the village the next day, I spread the news that there was only food for the whole family left at home, and the rest of the food had been sent to the county town and sold out.

The other villagers in Luoshan Village believed Hu Yungen's words at that time.After all, at that time everyone thought that food was valuable, and the Hu family had a lot of food, so how much money could it exchange for, and who could make it difficult for money.

It is true that no one wants to make trouble with Yinzi, but God wants to make trouble with Yuzhou Mansion.

When the water level of the river dropped to the day when the river bed was exposed, the price of grain in the county town increased several times, and the people of Luoshan Village began to panic.

Thoughtful people began to borrow and sell food from door to door with the favor of the past, but now no one has any food, and even if they have it, they are reluctant to sell it.

The most people asked Hu Yungen's family to borrow food. Everyone knew that Hu Yungen's family had a lot of land and stored a lot of food.

Even if the old Hu's family said that the grain had been sold long ago, the villagers didn't believe it. They believed it in the past, and they didn't believe it when the family ran out of grain and were hungry.

Lao Hu's family has a great business, and they can always save some food. Even if there is no food, don't they still have money?So much money can be exchanged for some high-priced food.

During those days, there were quite a few people who were interested in the old Hu's family, publicly, privately, with their mouths, and with their hands.

Fortunately, Lao Hu's family has the largest family property in Luoshan Village, and the population is also the largest in the village.

The old lady of the Hu family was able to give birth to five sons and one daughter. The condition of the old Hu family was good, and these children were raised safely to adulthood.

The oldest boss and the second child are now in their forties, and there are more than a dozen sons and grandchildren in total, not to mention the sons and daughters of the third, fourth, and fifth sons. twenty.

The condition of Lao Hu's family is good, the food is good, and all the men in the family stand up and are stronger than the people in the village. In terms of force, ordinary local hooligans dare not bully them at all.

It is said that a family with a large population can quarrel over trivial matters on weekdays. Perhaps it was a blessing in disguise, and it was also because of the hardships of that period that the whole family of Lao Hu's family became a single rope.

The five sons take turns looking after the home and nursing home, and several grandsons go to Xiaoluo Mountain to fetch water and look for wild vegetables.The women in the family are responsible for tending the grain stored in the cellar and planting the private plot in the yard.

Mrs. Hu brought her two eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law, who are already grandmothers, to make daily rations for the whole family. Old man Hu Yungen was responsible for distributing rations to the whole family. In the famine years, Taiping has lived peacefully until now, and there are not many of them.

It's just that the population of Lao Hu's family is too large. Even if the family has a lot of food, it has been consumed for more than two years day after day.

In the last six months, the Hu family has changed from two meals a day to one meal a day.Men eat dry ones, women eat half-dried ones, and at most, cook a big pot of porridge with sweet potatoes and miscellaneous grains before nightfall. Wake up in the day without energy to work.

Xu was afraid that the family members would panic when they knew that there was not much food left.

Last month, Hu Yungen used the excuse that it was raining, and the rations in the cellar were affected by damp, and his wife moved the remaining rations in the cellar to the master bedroom and locked them up, taking out as much as he needed every day.

After that, the rain in Yuzhong really became heavier and heavier, and the younger ones in the family just thought that the old Hutou had a foresight, and didn't think much about it.But Mrs. Hu knew that the food at home was really running out.
-
"The head of the family, you give me a correct sentence." Mrs. Hu was worried as she pulled the grain bag
"Where are you going? Didn't you see that the gate of the farm is full these days? There is still food at home, no one is allowed to embarrass me!"

If Tianzhuang can really give him one or two places, the old Hutou may give up his old face and try to ask for one.

But now this situation, the old Hutou's mind is clear.

The farm has clearly shown that there is no shortage of people, even if the family loses face, they may not get anything, so why bother to suffer this humiliation.

Besides, although my family is a bit more difficult now, it is not really at the end of the mountain.There are still some rations at home, and the family can survive for at least three to five months if they save some food.

No matter how bad it is, I still have fields, regardless of whether these fields can grow crops, but the left and right are also the property of the family.There are hundreds of acres of land that his old Hu family has worked hard all his life. Even during the two most difficult years of life in the family, Lao Hu has never thought of selling his ancestral house and ancestral land.

What's more, he still has money.

Mrs. Hu didn't dare to refute the old Hutou's words, and said again: "Yue'er came here a few days ago, and there is a store called a store in the county. I heard that there is grain for sale. One price, but they are all good new grains.

Otherwise, why should our family spend some money to go to the county to bring some food back? "

The newly opened commercial market in the county town, Lao Hutou has heard it once or twice from other people in the village. Thinking about what his daughter and son-in-law came to talk about a few days ago, he can't help but feel a little moved.

Although it is better to save some food at home for a few months, but what if the situation does not improve after a few months, it would be appropriate to hoard some money and come back while the family still has money.

But the money in the family was originally planned to be used by the two sons for their future exams
The old beard was a little reluctant.

"Wait a little longer." The old Hutou hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth: "If it rains lightly tomorrow morning, ask Boss/Second to walk to the field again."

"What are you doing in the fields in this weather?" Mrs. Hu was puzzled.

"Since people can dig ditches to drain water and grow crops, so can our family." The old beard said with a firm expression on his face. It's human-made, and there is nothing that can't be overcome.

"You mean to learn from the method in that Zhuangzi?" Mrs. Hu was surprised:

"Can this be done? I heard that Zhuangzi's owner is capable. Will we be troubled by others if we follow other people's methods?"

Being mentioned by Mrs. Hu, the old Hutou was also a little flustered. After a while, he mustered up his courage and said:

"Let's just dig a few ditches in our own land. It's not like stealing food from other people. What are we doing to be afraid of them!"

"That's what I said, but after all, I learned from others."

"Everyone in the world grows crops. Could it be that if his family grows crops, mine cannot? There is no reason for that." The old beard became more and more confident as he spoke.

Mrs. Hu felt that what Old Hu said was just messing around.It's just that she has a soft temper and is not good at arguing. Seeing that what her old man said got angry, she didn't refute it, but asked again:
"Then do you know how to dig?"
