Nongmen hot wife: Mysterious husband, come to farm!

Chapter 347 The Great Drought Begins

Seeing that Suning lacked interest in this trip, Xiao Jing felt a little distressed.

Immediately promised: "Although the business in the store has started and life has improved, it is not very good after all. It is just enough to have food and clothing. I promise you, when the days are better, I will take you to Jiangnan to play." , how are you?"

Su Ning's eyes lit up, turned over and lay on Xiao Jing's body, and said with burning eyes: "Nah, you said that! I didn't force you."

Meixi County belongs to the north of Yuzhou, and Yuzhou is in the north of Chu State.

The Jiangnan that Xiao Jing talked about, Su Ning had known in the book, was similar to the Jiangnan she knew, with good mountains, rivers, good people and good people there.

Even the crops are better than here. Rice alone can be grown for two seasons a year, and it is said that sometimes three seasons can be grown.

Unlike their side, grain is usually grown for one season, and the grain produced in the field is not as much as their side produces per mu.

Suning didn't see these things with her own eyes, but she saw them in books after following Xiao Jingxue's literacy. After all, she was not a native peasant girl, and would occasionally flip through books that recorded crops.

What's more, Suning likes those travel notes the most, books that record the customs and customs of various places.

"Well! I promise."

Seeing that Suning couldn't hide his joyful eyes, Xiao Jing was already planning in his mind when he would take Suning on a trip.

On the next day, Su Ning wandered around Tao County again, and he couldn't get any more energy, so he wanted Xiao Jing to finish his business and go home early.

But considering going out with Zi Yan, he didn't say it directly, and asked her very tactfully, seeing her also felt bored, so he urged Xiao Jing and Su Tai to get down to business.

After the two of them stayed in the inn honestly for two days, they dragged the food back.

When I came here, I only had a horse-drawn cart, and when I went back, I rented an ox cart.

Although I didn't see much scenery along the way when I went back, it took longer to return than when I came. After all, the distance of an ox cart is not as good as that of a horse-drawn cart.

Back in Dalun Town, Su Ning saw that Xiao Jing didn't intend to bring the grain back to Niujiao Village, and only then did he know that she planned to hide the grain in the town.

Xiao Jing and Su Tai brought the food back to Baihuifeng, but instead of asking Su Tai to help, they asked Su Tai to send Suning and Zi Yan home, and he handled the food by himself.

Xiao Jing didn't tell Suning until he came back at night.

There is an old well in the small courtyard behind the Baihuifeng store, which has been dry for many years. He went down and looked at it. It was in the shape of a vase, with a small mouth and a large bottom. He hid all the grain under that.

In June, the sun is getting stronger day by day, the land is drying up day by day, and even the water in some streams has dried up.

Under such circumstances, Suning, who has never experienced a severe drought, also knows that the natural disaster that Su Xiangrui said has come.

And this is just the beginning.

It's just that Suning didn't expect that when she asked Xiao Jing to buy a few more large tanks to store water, the villagers had already done a big thing for the water source.

This is also the first troublesome thing brought about by the severe drought.

When Su Ning heard Da Luo Niang talk about this matter, the village head had already brought people to do it down, and it was too late for Suning to stop it.

He just said with a wry smile: "If the village head acts like this, I'm afraid there will be conflicts with other villages, and I'm afraid he won't be kind at that time!"

Villages with multiple surnames like theirs are most afraid of conflicts with other villages, because the people in their village are far less united than other villages.

It's just that Suning didn't expect that what she was worried about would come so soon.
