Traveling through the money-making life of a small peasant girl

Chapter 679
Chen Rou's worry is not unreasonable. After the cold wave, no one knows how much rice can be successfully pressed. If it is not done well, it is really no harvest. It is not that the ancient famine did not happen. Chen Rou's family has another Everyone, especially when she is about to give birth, should not go wrong.

"Rou'er, let's sell both ends of the pig, and the chicken, all sold to Dingshi. I estimate that this time, the famine may be worse than the famine 15 years ago."

The expression on Shen Zhuo's face was a bit dignified. Since ancient times, people have not fought against the sky. Drought and rain cannot be changed. God said that you will have no harvest. You have no choice but to accept it.

"Well, as long as there is food to eat, you won't starve to death."

The cold wave lasted for nearly ten days. Even in that kind of weather, Shen Zhuo transported his family's chickens to Boss Wu's Dingshi in the town in small waves, and then carried two bags of rice from the rice store to the village every day.

During the period, Shen Zhuo reminded the villagers to store grain, but they were rejected by the villagers. They also laughed at Shen Zhuo for making a fuss, because no one believed that the cold wave could reduce their rice production, even to the point of failure.

At this point, Shen Zhuo didn't remind, because he knew that even if he knelt down to beg those people, those people would not be willing.

At the end of September, Shen Zhuo also dug up the sweet potatoes in the field, and kept those that could be kept at home. Fearing that there would not be enough, he went to buy some coarse grains.

When the weather finally cleared up, no one in the village realized that earth-shaking changes had taken place in their own rice. It wasn't until Zhang Lan, who recovered from her illness, touched the unpressed rice with her hands and shed tears, that Chen Rou knew that she and her family had changed. How accurate is Shen Zhuo's guess.

With a big belly, Chen Rou looked at Zhang Lan who was on the ridge with teary eyes.

She pushed Shen Zhuo's hand, "Brother Zhuo, hurry up and help the godmother, don't let her get into trouble."

Shen Zhuo looked at his daughter-in-law, and finally stepped forward.

"My godmother, go back. These things are beyond your control. Some things, if they happen, they happen."

Zhang Lan was born as a farmer. She knows better than anyone else that the rice production on this land will be reduced by at least four-fifths. In addition, this winter will be extremely cold. She doesn't know how many people will died in this disaster.

"A Zhuo, you... What you and Rou'er did was right, but the old woman just can't let go, can't see it, can't get over it..."

Natural disasters and man-made disasters have always been the most thorny problems for human beings. She doesn't want to see people dying, she wants to see everyone with a satisfied smile on their faces.

"Yes, the godmother still has Rou'er, Rou'er's child, and Rou'er will give birth in two months. Then you can see your granddaughter. Everyone can survive. It was possible 15 years ago, and it is still the same now. It's okay, it's okay, don't be afraid..."

Zhang Lan kept shaking her head. She kept looking at the rice field in front of her. From morning till night, she didn't eat or drink water. When Li Ban came, there was nothing she could do.

In the end, Chen Rou could only follow along without eating or drinking.

"The godmother won't leave, neither will Rou'er, neither will the godmother eat, neither will Rou'er, not even the little things in her stomach."

Zhang Lan had no choice but to compromise, but the gradual smile on her face still did not recover.

When the villagers really realize that there is a problem with the rice, it is still when the rice is harvested and transported to the threshing field, because the weight is much lighter than in previous years.

At this time, the price of rice in the town had already started to rise crazily.
