After crossing, I want to be with you every day

Chapter 222 It's Raining

Old lady Lu is quite capable of double standards.

Her daughter-in-law is absolutely not allowed to help her natal family, even if it is Lu Xiaozhu's daughter-in-law, that is not allowed.

But her daughter, if she returns to her mother's house empty-handed, she will be scolded out.

So it is so unreasonable, what can you do!

The old lady honestly said she was dissatisfied, knowing that her daughter had 500 taels of silver in her hand, she only took out ten taels, which was a lot of digging!
Seeing that the old lady still wanted to ask for more, Lu Xiaozhu coughed directly, and after attracting the old lady's attention, he quickly gave her a wink.

The old lady understood, reluctantly said: "Okay, that's it, the old patriarch and a few elders have to express it, I will let your elder brother and younger brother watch to buy some things, and when you pass the Ming Road, you can also buy something." You can live with peace of mind.”

"Yes, thank you, mother."

On the way back, Lu Sanbao was actually a little annoyed, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who told him that he was an elder, and no one could stand the blow of an unfilial hat.

Lu Taohua thought about it now.

It's worth buying ten taels of silver for a quiet day.I just don't know how long this silence can last.

That's what Lu Xiaozhu meant when he winked at the old lady.

It's a trickle.

The last time I asked her directly for 500 taels of silver, did you get impatient without seeing Peach Blossom?This time I didn't mention it at all, and then slowly pulled the money over.

Lu Xiaozhu picked his teeth, leaned half his body and said, "Mother, you got ten taels of silver, what do you plan to do with it?"

"What are you spending on! The first little money in the bottom of the box at home is gone, so I have to save it."

Lu Dazhu asked in a daze: "What about the patriarch?"

"It's not easy! You just catch the old hen that doesn't lay eggs and send it to the patriarch. You don't have to worry about other people. Anyway, the old patriarch has no right. The real caller in the village has to It's the village chief."

Lu Dazhu made sense when he thought about it. Whether it was buying a house or land, it had to go through the village chief, and the village chief couldn't do anything without nodding his head.

An old hen raised by the family directly exchanged for ten taels of silver, not a loss!
Lu Xiaozhu didn't dare to ask for money openly. After so many years, he already knew that his mother favored him, so he didn't worry.

Lu Dazhu also went back to the house unwillingly, muttering incessantly: "I'm afraid it would be nice to have one tael left over from these ten taels of silver."

Lu Taohua planned to get the old house. With the help of the village head and Lu Daxiong, they quickly got the land and house deeds.

After the village head and Lu Daxiong heard about Lu Erzhu's plan, they also thought it was good. Let's live in this way first. Anyway, there are not many people in the family and they can live there.

Everything at home is peaceful now, the only worrying thing is that the weather has been dry and it hasn't rained.

Lu Laohan was a little worried and said: "If you can't let it go, then don't let it go, but don't wait for the wheat to be harvested before it rains, it will be really miserable."

After all, they are still farmers, and they have been dealing with crops for half their lives. In their hearts, crops are food and lifeblood!

"Father, don't worry too much. I went to the field this morning to look around. Although it is a little dry, it should be able to harvest, but the yield is a little low."

Lu Laohan sighed, obviously still distressed.

After working hard for more than half a year, the winter wheat was planted last autumn, and now it is plowing and fertilizing and watering. If the harvest is too bad, I am afraid that I will not even be able to pay taxes and grains.

Lu Laohan is a down-to-earth person. Although his family does not need to pay taxes and grains, but there are so many families in the clan, how are they going to live?

Sitting on the chair, Mrs. Wang was also a little depressed.

"I went to the river yesterday for a walk, and the water level was lower again, and the turtle rock from earlier years showed a head again."

The turtle stone is a big stone in the river, it is said to weigh five or six hundred catties, this turtle stone is named so because it looks like a turtle.

Once the turtle stone's head is exposed, it means that there is too little rain. Once its whole body is exposed, it means that a severe drought is coming.

"Right now the price of grain is going up. I met Youcai yesterday, and I heard from him that several grain shops in the town are now controlling the sale of grain, and the price is set to be [-]% higher."

Mrs. Wang looked at Chen Xing and said, "Fortunately, my daughter-in-law is shrewd and has stockpiled grains first, but this is going to cause a real famine. No matter how much grain you hoard, it may be useless."

Chen Xing said nothing, she understood what her mother-in-law said.

If there is a severe drought, the whole county will have no food at that time, and she is the only one who has it, then wait to be robbed.

Unless there is an army to help keep the place down, otherwise, no matter how many nurses are hired, it will be useless.

Never underestimate the power of the masses.

With only a small amount of staff in their family right now, when a catastrophe really happens, let alone these people, even a few hundred more nursing homes will not be enough.

The high-walled compound was not very useful at that time.

Chen Xingyan was also a little worried. If it was just a minor drought, the people would be able to get along with it, but if it was a severe drought, it would be really troublesome.

Fortunately, Chen Xingyan didn't have to worry about it for a few days, so God opened his eyes.

"It's raining!"

Standing on the porch, Chen Xingyan felt very relaxed when he saw how everyone was so happy that they couldn't control themselves.

Although the rain is not too heavy, as long as it rains, it means that there should be no severe drought.

Sure enough, after the rain cleared, someone ran to the river to look at it, but the head of the turtle stone was no longer visible, and the water level had already risen.

Lu Laohan also smiled very easily: "Although the rain may not be able to drench the ground thoroughly, it is better than no drop. Now, this year's harvest can be expected again."

Chen Xingyan's own ability to grow plants is limited, and the small area of ​​the backyard can only be tossed a few times a day, so after thinking about it, she still thinks it is more cost-effective to raise some precious plants and exchange them for money to buy food.

Because of the arrival of this rain, the price of grain shops in the town has dropped again.

It didn't really fall, it just returned to the original price.

That's good!

Chen Xingyan asked Chen Youchang and Chen Jian to buy a large amount of grain from outside, but they were divided into several routes and transported to Zhuangzi.

Now Zhuangzi has begun to take shape, at least, the courtyard walls outside are completely erected, and the granary is absolutely safe.

"Miss, the food we have stored now is enough to feed 200 people until next spring."

Chen Xingyan nodded with satisfaction: "That's good, let's see how the grain harvest is this year. If the harvest is good, then there is no need to collect grain. If the land is poor, then we have to find a way to go to the south of the Yangtze River to buy grain .”

"Miss, the third son has sent a letter."
