The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 486 Will it snow?

Old Man Li went for a walk around the village and brought back a huge fat goose.

"The goose at Sun Laowang's house is good. He has raised it for two or three years. It must be delicious when stewed in an iron pot. Last time when we went to the city to play, I heard Shi Liu talking about stewing a big goose in an iron pot. I have been keeping an eye on it since I came back!
This goose is very good. Sun Laowang originally raised it for his own consumption and was reluctant to sell it. I negotiated with him for a long time. When I went to buy it today, he let me take it away without saying anything when he heard that it was a pomegranate. If I had known earlier, I would have said pomegranate is for you and bought it earlier!"

As Old Man Li said this, his face was very bright. He didn't care that he couldn't buy it himself, but he was happy that he could buy it immediately by using his granddaughter's name.

Old Yuan couldn't help but look at him in surprise, "Did you buy this goose from Sun Laowang?"

That look of "When did you become so close to Sun Laowang" made Old Man Li blush, but he tried to keep a straight face and said, "What's the matter? Why can't I buy it from him? He is willing to sell it to me, what do you think?"

Even though he and Sun Laowang had never gotten along since childhood, and they had always seen each other in disrespect for each other for so many years, things had changed in recent years!
His granddaughter has now hired Grandpa Sun and his wife to butcher a pig! Sun Laowang's sons and grandsons all work for his granddaughter, and his wife is also here, so how can he not treat him well? It's okay if things get good, and if they treat him well, how can he treat them badly?

It's not like there's no grudge that can't be resolved - of course, he would never admit it. It's because his sons, granddaughters and great-grandchildren are all better off than the Sun family, and he feels superior. When he looks at Sun Laowang again, he doesn't care so much.

Well, well, how can this person be jealous of people who are worse off than himself?

Old Yuan pouted and said, "Look at how proud you are. People sold it to you because of pomegranate. You thought they were selling it to you. By the way, you didn't owe them any less money, did you?"

Old Man Li looked at her and said, "Who do you think I am? How could I take advantage of him for nothing? I even gave him extra money to make up the difference!"

Old Yuan heard that a lot of money was given, so she didn't say anything. Don't think she doesn't know. This old guy often hangs around in front of the Sun family when he strolls in the village, talking about this and that, all the time, isn't it, hoping that Sun Laowang will listen? As if he doesn't know how he's showing off, others just don't care about him.

But Father Li said, "I heard that Shi Liu is back. My sister-in-law asked me to go to her vegetable garden to pick more leeks. She said that Shi Liu likes to eat leek fried with eggs. This new batch of leeks is very tender!"

"Really? It happens that I want to go too. Come on, grandpa, let's go for a stroll together?" said Pomegranate.

When Father Li heard that his granddaughter wanted to go for a walk with her, he immediately smiled and turned around and walked away, "Let's go! Let's go for a walk!"

The river wind was not calm, but fortunately it was blocked half way by the houses. The grandfather and grandson walked along the village road, but it was not so bitterly cold.

Shi Liu couldn't help but turn around and ask Father Li, "Grandpa, are you cold?"

Father Li patted his clothes and smiled, "It's not cold! The fur you bought me last time and the new clothes your mother made for me are very warm! I'm wearing a woolen sweater inside, and I'm sweating after walking a few steps! I don't know if it will snow here this year. If it does, give me those woolen boots so I can wear them out!"

There was even some expectation of snow on that face.

After saying this, he slowly felt that something was not right, so he quickly glanced at the sky and added, "If it snows, just let it snow a little and we can enjoy it, but it can't snow heavily!" His life was so good that he almost forgot why the bad days were so bad. If it snowed heavily, not only would many people's houses be crushed by the snow, but it would also be so cold that people would be frozen to death. In serious cases, people would be frozen to death.

Shi Liu then looked at the gray sky. There had been no sunlight in the past two days. It seemed to be much colder than the previous few days. It was hard to say whether it would snow.

"It's been many years since we've had snow here, right?"

Father Li has a good memory. "I remember the last time it snowed heavily was about ten years ago. You were not born at that time. It snowed heavily for several days and nights before it stopped. After the snow stopped, the whole mountain and field were covered with layers of snow. If a child got stuck in it, he would definitely lose his head.

As far as I know, the houses of Wang Shitou and Zheng Dafu in our village collapsed due to heavy snow that year. At that time, both of them lived in mud-brick houses and thatched houses. Wang Shitou's father was crushed to death by the heavy snow that year—"

Father Li sighed as he recalled these things. "Now, in our village, no one has a mud-brick house, let alone a thatched house. Your fourth uncle's family built two more mud-brick houses when they divided the family property, but they later postponed the rebuilding of brick-brick houses. The same is true for other families in the village. If there is another heavy snow like that year, our village will definitely be fine.

It's just the villages around here, I can't say for other families! That year, many people died in the heavy snow, and our village was the only one that was safe.

In the face of this natural disaster, human life is worthless!"

He sighed.

Shi Liu also sighed when she heard this. It was more than ten years ago, and she had not come here yet. As far as she could remember, it seemed that it only snowed once after she came here. That was when she was five years old. It snowed very lightly and only for two days. There was only a thin layer of snow on the road. At that time, she wanted her eldest brother and second brother to take her to build a snowman, but they were not able to do it.

It's no different from rain, so it doesn't make much of an impression on anyone.

If we count this little snow, it has been almost ten years since we last saw snow.

I don’t know if it will snow this year, but when Shi Liu heard Old Man Li talking about the heavy snow disaster ten years ago, his heart started beating fast.

It is better to be prepared for the worst. She thought that no matter whether it would rain or not, she had to be on guard.

She couldn't rebuild and reinforce all the poor people's houses, as that was impossible. Besides, natural disasters were ruthless and could not be changed by human power. She just thought that there was a lot of grain stored in the granaries on several farms, so if there was a disaster, she could help the victims and do her part.

Shi Liu went over the matter of preventing unknown accidents in his mind again and again, and after making sure that nothing had been missed, the grandfather and grandson walked to the door of the old house.

Before they entered the old house, Sun Laowang, who was standing under the eaves of the house on the opposite side of the fence, saw them and hurried towards the gate. Before he got close, he spoke, "How is it, Shi Liu? Isn't the goose meat beautiful? I've raised it for almost three years. It takes some effort to stew it, but the meat is guaranteed to be delicious!"
