The Little Dumb Wife of the Mountain People

Chapter 91 Natural Disasters and Man-made Disasters

In previous years, when Dongyue (November) came, Songjia Village would start to snow, but now at the end of Dongyue, the sky of Songjia Village still didn't have a single snowflake.

Although the people in Songjia Village don't farm the land, they rely on the mountains for a living. Whether it's harvesting mountain products or hunting, if there is no snow, there will be a severe drought.

Although Song Dalang didn't understand this, Wen Youcai did, so after Wen Youcai and Song Dalang mentioned this matter, Song Dalang paid attention to it.

"Dalang, you are going to tell the villagers about this. Are there many springs in your village?"

Wen Youcai now has plans to live in Songjia Village for a long time, so he attaches great importance to the water source of Songjia Village.

Song Dalang also understood what Wen Youcai meant, so after Wen Youcai spoke, he followed suit.

"Father, I will do this as soon as possible. There are many springs on the mountains in the village. When spring comes, I will take people into the mountains to find more springs."

As soon as Song Dalang finished speaking, Wen Youcai nodded,

Wen Bao didn't pay much attention to the lack of snow at first, because in her previous life and her previous life, it was normal for Jiangbei not to snow at this time.

But when Wen Youcai mentioned it to Song Dalang, Wen Bao just remembered that not only did it snow this month, but it didn't even rain.

"We have a well in our house, so we need to save it in the future."

In the past when they lived on the mountain, Song Dalang went to fetch water from the mountain spring, but now there is a well at home, but Song Dalang still occasionally goes to the mountain to fetch water.

Wen Bao knew the horror of this natural disaster. So many dynasties in history, the collapse of many dynasties began with natural disasters.

If there is no rain or snow this winter, next year must be a disaster year.

It is said that natural disasters and man-made disasters, if natural disasters really come, will the man-made disasters be far behind?

Song Dalang nodded after hearing Wen Bao's words. He understood what Wen Bao meant, and he thought he must tell the villagers about it as soon as possible.

After Song Wei and Song Dalang notified each other, the people of Songjia Village noticed this phenomenon. Some older villagers immediately mentioned that 50 years ago there was no snow in winter and there was a severe drought in spring.

"Back then, more than half of the people in the village left. Those who dragged their families along have not come back. I don't know if they are still alive."

An old man in the village is only in his 60s and [-]s now. He was a child back then. There were five brothers and sisters in his family, and three of them died, leaving only him and his sister.

"Back then, my sister took me up the mountain over and over again to find food and water to drink, and we survived.

But for me, my sister saved something for me to eat, just to leave a root for our family. She broke her body and died before she was twenty. "

The old man's words confirmed that there was no snow in winter and a severe drought began in spring, which made Song Dalang feel very heavy.

And according to the old man, floods often follow severe droughts. They live in the mountains, and if the heavy rain doesn't stop, the water and soil on the mountains will flow down.

Bringing the news home, Wen Bao, who knew the news, naturally began to feel worried.

"If there is a severe drought next year, our family will move to live in the county, which is close to the Qinglong River."

To say that the geographical location of Nanning County is indeed good, but Songjia Village is in the northwest of Nanning County, which is quite a distance from the Qinglong River.

Moreover, there are many mountains in Songjia Village, and there is almost no place to grow food. If there is a severe drought and there are fewer prey in the mountains, they may have no source of income and cannot afford food.

Listening to what his father said, Wen Bao raised his head and glanced at him. It is true that their family can go to the county, but what about the people from Songjia Village?
Is it really possible to let them fend for themselves?

Wen Bao knew that she was not the Holy Mother, but at this moment, she still couldn't bear to lose the family property she had settled in Songjia Village for the past two years.

Even if she will come back in the future, can Songjia Village still accept their family?

Wen Bao and Song Dalang didn't speak. They had more affection for Songjiacun than Wen Youcai. Whether it was for themselves or for Songjiacun, they couldn't sit idly by.

Wen Bao and Song Dalang didn't tell Wen Youcai and Wu Shi about this thought, because they knew that their parents' arrangement was really worried about them.

Wen Bao knew that it was still early for him to think about this. After all, it was not yet the twelfth lunar month, and when the twelfth lunar month was getting colder and colder, they didn't need to worry if it didn't snow yet.

Within two days of this worry, Wen Chengquan, who came back from the county seat, brought news that it was snowing in the county.

"There is not much snow in the county, and the snow around the Qinglong River is heavier, but it is still not as heavy as in previous years. I thought we would have to fall here, so I hurried home, but found that there was no snow before I reached the town. "

Wen Chengquan went to the county this time to do a lot of things, so it was delayed for a few days, but when he came back, the news he brought back still worried the family.

"Don't think too much, since it's snowing in the county, it proves that we may also have snow."

Song Dalang opened his mouth to comfort Wen Bao, but Wen Bao didn't laugh. They said it was far or close to the county, but there was only light snow in the county, and maybe there really wasn't any snow in their place.

Wen Bao looked up at Song Dalang, but didn't speak. Song Dalang understood what she was thinking, but Song Dalang couldn't do anything about it.

It's just that the whole family began to expect snowflakes to float from the Qinglong River to Songjia Village, but they waited until the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, when the town's academy was on holiday, and Wen Chengzhi and his wife drove three donkey carts back to Songjia Village with the Wen family's servants. , this snowflake did not float to Songjia Village.

"Auntie, let's see my sister."

Wen Bao was warming up by the fire in the house, but it was getting colder and colder. Now she can only go out to enjoy the sun at noon when the sun is at its best, and stay in the house on weekdays.

Hearing Wen Zhuoxiu's voice, Wen Bao immediately laughed. Tuantuan has been around for almost four months now, and she can already turn over, but she wears a lot during the day, and only at night when Wen Bao takes her to bed, does she take off the jacket and trousers outside Only then can Tuantuan turn over a few times with a humming hum.

"Xiu'er is back."

Wen Bao hugged Wen Zhuoxiu who rushed into his arms like a small cannonball, and then looked at a group of nephews who came in behind, "Come in, it's cold outside."

Tuantuan happened not to be asleep at this time, being held in Meihua's arms, when he heard the sound, Tuantuan's big eyes also looked towards the door.

I haven't seen Tuantuan for nearly two months, and seeing Tuantuan again today, all the boys in the Wen family were very excited.

As the eldest grandson, Wen Zhuoran was more prudent. When the remaining boys saw Tuantuan staring at them with almond eyes, they immediately walked towards Tuantuan.

How could Tuan Tuan meet so many people on weekdays? Now it's not like two months ago, but now it's almost four months. It's a lot more fun.

Seeing someone walking towards him, Tuantuan immediately 'giggled' and patted together his chubby hands hard, seeing the boys of the Wen family, their eyes glistened.

"Auntie, my sister is so cute."

"Yes, yes, my sister is so beautiful."

"Sister, sister, I am the fourth cousin."

The boys all showed eyes that wanted to take Tuantuan home, and Song Dalang who came in behind looked at the group of boys and wanted to drive them all out.

As Tuantuan got bigger and bigger, Song Dalang now only needs to think that his precious daughter will be married away in the future, and his heart aches.

When Wen Bao saw Song Dalang coming in, he still had that look in his eyes, but he didn't understand.

"Okay, okay, you will stay for more than a month when you come back this time, and you will have plenty of time to play with your sister in the future."

Wen Bao waved his hand and drove away a group of nephews surrounding his daughter, and then pointed to the oldest Wen Zhuoran. Everyone hugged each other for a while, and then coaxed the group of boys away.

After a group of boys went back to Wen's house and were taught a lesson by Wen Youcai and Mrs. Wu, they realized that they went home to visit their cousin instead of saying hello to their grandparents.

"You guys, this sister is right in front of you, and you will have a chance to see her in the future."

Wu looked at her grandsons and thought of her soft granddaughter, so she wanted to sigh.

Wen Xushi and Wen Lishi who just came back saw their mother-in-law sighing, so they knew what she was thinking.

"Mother, don't be angry with your father, my sister-in-law and I will talk about them well!"

As soon as Wen Xu finished speaking, Wen Li nodded, but the attitude of the two of them still dissatisfied Wu.

"Third daughter-in-law, your elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law have given birth to two boys, and you and the third child are just one child. If you can give birth to a granddaughter for me and your father with the third child, your father and I will be satisfied." .”

Mrs. Wu said this in a loud voice, everyone in the room heard it, especially Wen Zhuoming, his father and mother had only one son, the uncle and the second uncle's family each had two cousins, and he was indeed the only one in his family.

Whenever Wen Zhuoming thought of his sister, he would stare at his mother eagerly, wishing that his parents would give birth to a younger sister tomorrow.

Thinking of having a younger sister in the future, Wen Zhuoming became happier the more he thought about it.

Wen Xushi was originally such a bright person, but she was still very embarrassed to hear Wu Shi's words, especially when she heard her brother-in-law sitting on the side laughing, her face became more and more blush.

Seeing his daughter-in-law blushing, Wen Chengshuang saw the fourth brother snickering beside him, and immediately said, "Mother, the fourth brother will get married in the next year. When the fourth brother and sister come in, the fourth brother will definitely give you a fat granddaughter!"

Wen Chengquan was still laughing at first, but when he heard what his third brother said, he stopped laughing immediately.

Upon hearing Wen Chengshuang's words, Wu's gaze fell on Wen Chengquan.

When Wen Chengquan saw his old lady looking at him, he immediately put away the smile on his face. He couldn't accept such a thing.

Who knows what's going on with the Feng Shui of his old Wen's family, he's a kid!
If it was in someone else's house, it would be a good thing to have many sons, but no one told his parents to miss their daughters.

It is said that when his mother was pregnant with his younger sister, the fetal image was not good for a period of time, and his old mother lay in bed for two months because people said that her baby was a daughter.

Wen Bao didn't know about these things, because Wen Chengzhi and his wife came back with the kids, so today Wen Bao and Song Dalang brought plum blossoms and tuantuan to Wen's house for dinner.

Zheng Xiang, who was sleeping in Song Dalang's arms, was very tired after being held in the arms of several cousins ​​for a while, and now she is sleeping, and she can still hear her snoring.

When the boys of the Wen family saw Tuantuan coming, they wanted to join in, but they were stopped by the Wu family.After they were stopped by Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Wu instead asked Mrs. Wen Li and Mrs. Wen Xu to hug each other.

Wen Bao looked at the two sisters-in-laws who were walking towards her, a little puzzled, but she glanced at her mother, and let the two sister-in-laws embrace her.

"Bao'er, go back and find two small clothes that Tuantuan recently wore for your two sister-in-laws."

Everyone in the room was very surprised after hearing Wu's words, especially Wen Bao didn't understand.

But Wen Bao still agreed to Wu's request, promising that she would find the clothes as soon as possible.
