Chapter 101.
After lunch, everyone sat in the main room to rest in the cool air. The lady Zhang was fanning with a cattail fan, and at the same time she kept complaining, "Oh my god, I don't know if this year is a thief." What's the matter, it's been so long and I don't know it's raining, and if it continues to be so hot, people will die of heat."

Wang Yun poured a bowl of cold boiled water to the old man alone, and said, seemingly inadvertently, "Isn't it? If you let it dry like this, many people's crops will not be harvested this year.

Dad, Mom, you don’t know, before I took my two children back by car, the soil in the crop fields I saw along the way was hard and hard, and even the crops were withered and out of shape.

You said that we drove from six or seven o'clock in the morning, and it was only eight or nine o'clock when we arrived in the town. , and the plants are short and the leaves are yellow, as if the seedlings are about to fall at any time.

That is, many rice fields have cracks in the sun, and some of them are as wide as an adult's thumb. You said that now is the time for the rice to start earing and flowering. If you continue to dry like this, what will be the harvest? "

The old man took out his dry pipe and pot and smoked there.

Mrs. Zhang sighed there, "Fortunately, that mother-in-law Yang Juyun planted the crops in our family early, otherwise we probably wouldn't have any harvest this year."

After Wang Yun heard her scolding Yang Juyun as a "mother-in-law", her face suddenly showed unnaturalness. Yang Juyun came from Baijia, and she also came from Baijia. She can scold Yang Juyun so smoothly today, but she can't guarantee it. She would also scold herself so smoothly, she was naturally a little unhappy in her heart.

The old man still had some scruples, and then he cast a sideways glance at Mrs. Zhang, but Mrs. Zhang didn't notice it.

Wang Yun calmed down, and then pretended not to care about what she scolded Yang Juyun, but flatteringly echoed, "Yeah, fortunately our crops have grown like that, and it won't reduce production. .

If the master continues to work like this today, the price of grain this year will probably increase. "

As soon as Mrs. Zhang heard the words that the price of food would increase, a golden light flashed in her eyes, "Really?"

Wang Yun nodded, "Yeah, look at the dry weather this year, and the food production has been reduced everywhere. It is estimated that many people will not have much food left after paying their taxes. If this continues, the price will increase sooner or later.

So dad, mom, let's not sell our family's food this year, because we have to pay a high price to buy it. Not only is it troublesome to buy and sell, it's not worth it.

For example, during the dry years and famine years, it is better to keep some food at home, not to mention other things, it is like these years, even chickens, ducks and pigs are not easy to raise, let alone eat eggs and meat , it must be very expensive.

If you have surplus food at home, such as rice bran and wheat bran mixed with other vegetables, leaves and weeds, you can raise a few chickens to lay eggs to eat. "

Mrs. Zhang's complexion suddenly fell, and the old man didn't say anything, but she looked thoughtful while smoking a cigarette.

Wang Yun knew that some words were to the point, so don't overdo it, otherwise it would be counterproductive. After she said that, she stopped talking.

Sure enough, after a while, the old man Xiang said, "Well, I think what the eldest daughter-in-law said makes sense. Our family's food is not busy selling it for the time being. Wait and see for a while. If the price of this food increases sharply then , let’s keep enough for our own food, and it’s not too late to sell the rest.”

Mrs. Zhang was a little disappointed, "Not for sale? Really not for sale?"

He said to the old man, "I won't sell it, I won't sell it, let's put it away after I take it back. If I sell it early now, the price hasn't gone up yet. If the price rises sharply in the future, we will eat it at home. Still have to spend a lot of money to buy it?
You see, the Great Famine Year of [-] was like that. No matter how much money a rich family took, they couldn’t buy a bucket of grain. What’s the use of that?

Therefore, in a bad year, the key is to have surplus food in the family. With surplus food, one will not go hungry, and one will not spend money unjustly, so as to have the capital to survive. "

Mrs. Zhang buried her head in thought for a while before she raised her head and said, "That's all right, then let's not rush to sell, and see when it will rain in the future, and then we will see how the harvest will be."

After Wang Yun heard her words, the stone in her heart finally fell by half, and the food was saved. The key is that the chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs have to find a way for them to raise them.

But it seems a little inappropriate to say these words at the moment, alas, forget it, let’s go here first, and find another opportunity to say it later, anyway, they will stay in their hometown for a while.

So Wang Yun said again, "Father, Mom, do you want to tell Yang Juyun and the others about this matter? After all, we have agreed with them at the beginning, that is, they will collect the food for us and help us collect the food. We sell, and then give them an extra [-]% of the grain, now that we don’t sell that grain, then naturally we don’t need them to collect it, so we don’t need to give them that [-]% of the grain anymore?”

As soon as Yang Ju Yunniang was mentioned, Mrs. Zhang's originally stretched brows frowned again, obviously she didn't want to see them.

Then he said to the old man, "Well, I need to tell them about this."

Mrs. Zhang said, "Then we don't want them to collect the grain, so we have to collect the grain from so many fields ourselves?"

Mrs. Zhang was very displeased. After all, they hadn't done farm work for many years, and they had been playing tricks for more than ten years. They were asked to do farm work all of a sudden. How could they do it?

The old man was also a little tangled.

Wang Yun was afraid that they would go back on their word, so she said, "That's nothing, when the time comes, we'll call the elder sister and the others back, and then add a few people from our own family. If it doesn't work, let's spend another ten or twenty yuan It's the same if you hire two more people." She has the 20 yuan wages that Xiang Hai gave her.

In order to prevent the two old things from asking them for money from time to time in the future, the two of them had discussed in the city before that the two old things should not be allowed to sell the food at home.

Since Sun Shuiyun was pregnant, Xiang Hai and the two couldn't come back to help, so she acted as the host, but they had to pay more than half of the money for hiring people to work.

The old man knocked his cigarette pot on the armrest, and then nodded, "Let's do that," when the time comes, call Xiang Jiao back, plus the eldest daughter-in-law and two grandchildren. It is enough to invite a few people outside.

Wang Yun said, "Oh, then I'll go over and talk to them when the time comes."

The two elders have no opinion.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Xiang Jin was almost done with the work in hand, then called Xiang Nan to her room, and then randomly checked the status of her endorsement today.

Although the little girl was stuttering, and she was reminded a few times in the middle, she finally recited an article.

In order to increase her enthusiasm, Xiang Jin gave some affirmation appropriately, "Although I am not very proficient in reciting, I still recited it. It can be seen that it is not difficult to learn from reciting. The key is to persevere." .

From now on, you will have to memorize one article every day. If you memorize it for a long time, you will gradually get used to it. The brain will only work well if you often use it. If you don’t use it all the time, it will not work well. As if a big rock is blocking it, you will never be able to open your mind, go ahead and do two arithmetic problems. "

Xiang Nan said, "But I haven't finished my homework yet?"

Xiang Jin said, "It doesn't matter, we can do it together, or you can add up to three articles today."

Xiang Nan wailed.

Xiang Jin said, "It's useless to wail, you can relax, but you have to pile them all up to do it yourself, who's to blame?

Don't say the third thing if you repeat it, go! "

The little girl had no choice but to go back to her room to write questions with her composition papers downcast.

Xiang Jin and her grandmother said, "Are you being too harsh on Nan Nan?"

Xiang Jin said, "She is not stupid, but she is lazy in study and has not developed a good study habit, so I have to get her back as soon as possible. Otherwise, as the grades get higher, the courses get deeper, and the more homework, she will have more problems." If you can’t bear it, then it’s really useless.”

Her grandmother nodded, "You are right."
