Chapter 237 Drought

Xia Qingge didn't want to cause chaos in the market, so she bought food secretly, even if it would cost her more time and money, she said it was fine, after all, she still had several months to go. Collect food.

Thanks to Jin Hanyan's help, Xia Qingge harvested the grain smoothly. However, the grain on the market was still a bit more expensive, but the impact was not too great, so it didn't cause any confusion in the end.

It took three months to collect most of the food. Xia Qingge only felt that it was not enough, but she also knew that she could not continue, otherwise the person on the dragon chair should pay attention.

After all, her collecting food on such a large scale is a bit like recruiting soldiers and horses. As a superior, how could she allow such a dangerous thing to exist?
Xia Qingge put the food on the three villages respectively, and sent a lot of people to look after it. After making sure that everything was ok, she prepared the new year's goods and went home to celebrate the new year.

Except for Cress and the old lady, no one came back, obviously planning to fight until the last moment.

"Girl, come here." When the old lady saw Xia Qingge, she called her over.

"Grandma, what's wrong?" Xia Qingge asked curiously.

"I've been observing the amount of rain these days, and I feel a little uneasy." The old lady's face was a little solemn. She had experienced a severe drought when she was young, and she knew how terrible it was, so she just had that guess. Find Xia Qingge.

Xia Qingge looked at the old lady in surprise, she didn't expect her to notice something, obviously most people didn't notice it.

"I think there may be a drought next year, so I want you to store more food." The old lady is planning for the worst. After all, the drought is really terrible. Anyway, whether there is or not, it is good to store more food .

"Grandma, don't worry, I've already had people buy a lot of food." Xia Qingge comforted.

The old lady looked at Xia Qingge in surprise.

"A few days ago, I saw that the water level of the lake on the mountain had dropped a lot, so I guessed it was reached." Xia Qingge gave a reason.

The old lady said solemnly, "I'll go and talk to the village chief." There are not many people who grow food in the village now, and they may not be able to sustain it in the event of a severe drought.

Xia Qingge nodded approvingly. It is only one person who can save one more person. Moreover, those who have experienced the drought may have guessed that everyone will more or less start to stockpile food.

This year is destined to be not very stable.

Indeed, as Xia Qingge guessed, many people went to buy food, but it was not so crazy that people in their village bought a lot of food and stocked it up.

Xia Qingge only paid attention to this a little bit, she is now looking forward to her third brother's return.

I don't know how my third brother is doing now.

In recent years, Xia Yanchen was rarely mentioned in Jin Hanyan's letters, and even if he was mentioned, it was only a few pens. He obviously didn't want his affairs to take up his paper.

As for why Xia Yanchen didn't write one more letter and brought it back with him, it was because he was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat or sleep, let alone write letters.

Therefore, every year Xia Yanchen only sent back a letter from home reporting his safety.

Xia Qingge expressed his distress for this, obviously he is not very old, so he shouldn't have to bear so much.
