After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Liu Qi said that his grandfather went to see the clan leader early in the morning and said he had something important to discuss. "Maybe it was about spring plowing and breeding."

After saying that, he looked at Qin Yao expectantly. This year, everyone pointed at her to guide everyone on how to breed to achieve the high yield of [-] kilograms per mu last year.

Qin Yao was worried about hoarding food and had no time to talk to Liu Qi. She grabbed Liu Ji who wanted to go to the village chief's house for breakfast and rushed to the patriarch's house.

The two old men were indeed together, but they were not discussing breeding.

Qin Yao entered the door without drinking a sip of water, and told the two old people her worries about the lack of food surplus in the village.

"Do you want to stock up on food?" the village chief and the clan chief asked in unison. Their eyes looked completely different from the fear of trouble she imagined. The two old men's eyes lit up as soon as they gasped.

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows and asked tentatively: "Are you two thinking about this too?"

The village chief and clan chief nodded quickly, what a coincidence!

The second elder quickly pulled Qin Yao to sit down and told her that they were planning to use the stone money she gave to Gongzhong last year to buy some food to help those families in the village who were in particular need.

As for the road construction plan, it can only be postponed.

But they are afraid that other tribesmen will not agree to use the money to buy food instead of building roads, so the two are discussing countermeasures.

I have saved up to one or two or six yuan of this money now. According to the current price of three cents per catty of brown rice, I can buy 530 three catties.

In the past, they would have been powerless.

But this year, Gongzhong happened to have the money, so he wanted to use it to help the tribe first.

After all, when it comes to borrowing food, you have to have the food before you are willing to borrow it. Although they are village chiefs and clan leaders, they cannot force large households to lend food to other villagers. At most, they can give words to encourage them. In the end, it can only depend on their own personal consciousness.

Qin Yao glanced at Liu Ji and saw, this is the pattern of a leader!

The age and experience of the village chief and clan chief are all here, and they think far ahead than the young people in the village. The government said that the food gap in May and June can be made up, but who knows whether it is true or not.

After all, you still have to worry about your own life.

This point coincides with Qin Yao's idea. If the three of them work together, they can stock up as much as they want. The whole village will stock up together. Are they worried about having too much food?

Since Qin Yao wanted to hoard food first, the village chief and clan chief had more confidence in the villagers, so they called together the free villagers at noon to ask for their opinions.

Unfortunately, the situation was completely different from what was expected.

I have enough food stored at home, but I don’t want to spend this money.

My family is running low on food storage, and I want to borrow some from other relatives.

Those who don’t have enough food at home smile bitterly, saying that they want to stock up but don’t have the money.

Finally, everyone looked at the clan leader and village chief, what do you think we should do about this?

The village chief spread his hands angrily, "Liang Ban!"

Anyway, they have reminded everyone who should be reminded. If everyone is not willing to buy food collectively, then each family will prepare it on their own. It depends on their fate.

The clan leader let out a long sigh, "Why don't you learn from Mrs. Qin and Liu Ji? They are not short of food, but they all know how to stock up. Don't be reluctant to part with the little money you have in case there is a harvest this autumn. The harvest isn’t good either?”

If the fields are infested by insects, we should be mentally prepared in advance to reduce production.

The families who had no money were already the poorest in the village. They had to smile bitterly when they heard this. No one was willing to borrow money under their conditions.

We can only wait until spring plowing and go to the city to find some part-time work to see if we can make a living.

The clan leader and the village chief looked at each other, and seeing that Liu Dafu and Old Man Liu were both well-known in the village, they simply stated their initial plan.

"We all belong to the same village, and our ancestors are all members of the same family. We should help each other."

"Originally, this money was going to be used to build roads, but now that this has happened, it is always better to think about it earlier. The village chief and I would like to ask the big guys if we can lend them the money for road construction temporarily. Which ones buy food?"

Everyone present knew which family they were talking about, and they all looked at the tribesmen who were not even dressed in linen clothes.

After Qin Yao's explicit instructions, Liu Ji was the first to raise his hand to express his agreement.

The poor tribesmen looked at him in surprise, as if they didn't expect that Liu Laosan, whom they looked down upon the most in the past, would do such a righteous act.

Liu Ji puffed up his chest and thought that I am not what I used to be. I am no longer the Liu Ji I used to be.Now he is Liu Tongsheng Ji!
Old man Liu looked at his third son with relief and raised his hand, "Our family also agrees."

Liu Dafu also agreed.

Someone took the lead, and several more families raised their hands to express their agreement.

In the end, the majority agreed. The clan leader and village chief took out the money, lent it to the poorest families in front of the clan members, and drew and kept the vouchers.

Of course, the money will not be given directly to them. The village will have to find someone to buy the grain back first, and then exchange it for the corresponding amount of grain based on the amount they borrowed.

The money is said to be a loan, but everyone knows in their hearts that it is relief for the village.

It's good to be able to pay it back if you have money, but don't expect too much if you can't.

Many villagers who voted against the move were unconvinced when they left the ancestral hall. The two waves of people quarreled for a while before they subsided.

But some people got the reminder and decided to listen to the village chief and clan chief and prepare to stock up on food.

Old Man Liu and his family were still a little undecided, so they invited Qin Yao and his wife back to their old house to discuss.

Knowing that the couple hadn't had breakfast yet, Mr. He cooked a bowl of vegetable porridge for each of them.

Before, I could add an egg, but now I only have vegetable porridge, and my living standard has dropped significantly.

It can be seen that the old house is also nervous about the pest infestation, and now it has begun to reduce the portion of two meals a day.

Liu Ji was used to the sumptuous meals at home and found them tasteless, but he still finished the bowl of porridge.

After the meal, Old Man Liu talked about the situation at home. He still had the food from last year. If there were no corvee work, it would be enough for next year, so he didn't know whether to stock up.

Qin Yao answered very firmly, "Store as much as you can. If nothing happens, just eat it yourself. If something happens, it can save your life."

Maybe you can even make a small profit.But Qin Yao didn't say this.

Everyone in the old house is not that thoughtful, and talking too much will only add unnecessary trouble to them.

Old man Liu asked Qin Yao how much he planned to stockpile.

"Looking at the current food prices, we should at least stock up on enough for a year."

Everyone calculated in their minds that Qin Yao's family would have three thousand catties per year.

This amount is still easy to buy, but I am afraid that other people will also stock up, and the rice shops in the city will increase their prices.

No, the price has increased now, and fine rice costs twelve cents per catty.

Old man Liu looked at Ms. Zhang, who said, "Our family can get three taels of silver at most."

This is what I mean by wanting to stock up on food with Qin Yao.

Qin Yao nodded to express her understanding, and directly nodded to Liu Ji, "You will be responsible for purchasing."

Liu Ji, who was looking at the sky in a daze, did not expect such a good thing. The ecstasy flashed in his eyes and he quickly agreed.

This is a good opportunity to hide a private house!
How could Qin Yao let him have his wish?

With a wink at Old Man Liu, Old Man Liu pushed Liu Fei in front of Liu Ji.
"Third brother, please take care of fourth brother and teach him more. You two go to the county seat first. The county seat will not go to neighboring counties."

Liu Ji's heart skipped a beat, but without showing it on his face, he put his arms around Liu Fei's shoulders and said, "Don't worry, I will teach him well."

Liu Fei threw his hand away and said, "Don't touch me!"

Disgusted, he retreated four or five meters away from Liu Ji.

Sister-in-law He and Qiu frowned at this incompatible attitude.

Can these two people get together?

Qin Yao gave them a reassuring smile, "This is a big deal, don't worry."
