"It's just winter, are you in such a hurry?"

Hui Niang said hesitantly.

"Mom, when you think it's time to buy food, everyone will go to buy food, and the price of food will definitely rise by then."

Ripple immediately explained.

"Lianyi is right. Fortunately, after we paid the full tax on the grain harvested this year, we didn't sell the rest. But even so, it was only enough to eat until summer. But in previous years, we still had wild vegetables to satisfy our hunger. I also I can go to town and work part-time to earn some money, which will last until the autumn harvest. It’s just hard to say what will happen next year.”

Song Dachuan's brows were furrowed tightly, and there was a big "Sichuan" mark between his eyebrows, which showed that he was really worried.

Hui Niang didn't say anything at this time. He knew that what her husband said was true. After all, they had only been living alone for more than three years. Their foundation was still too weak. With Hu Zi recuperating, they really didn't save much. Money, it’s normal to worry.

The family reached an agreement, and Song Dachuan took action the next day. He still went to the town for part-time work, but when he came back, he would bring one or two kilograms of grain, rice, noodles, brown rice, and buckwheat flour in the basket on his back. Just like ants moving, they are hoarding things at home little by little.

At the same time, Hui Niang also took Lianyi back to her parents' home. Fortunately, they were all in the same village, and they arrived in two quarters of an hour.

Huiniang told her parents about buying food and saving it. The main purpose was to remind them to be prepared for disaster years.

"Your father has also been worried about this matter recently. It won't snow today, and we are also anxious. We are afraid that the winter wheat planted in the ground will not be harvested. Some time ago, I saw your father covering the field with straw mats, and your father Let your four younger brothers learn from the same, and hope to see some harvest in the spring."

Mr. Zhang sat cross-legged on the kang and sighed.

"Dad, mother, sister, it's not the New Year yet. Maybe it will snow after the New Year."

Zhang Shi scratched his head and said.

His wife was pregnant during the autumn harvest, and now she has passed the first three months of pregnancy. If the weather next year is really bad, it will have a great impact on their little family.

"At this time last year, there was already one heavy snowfall and two light snowfalls. Half of Zhang Shun's house at the east end of the village collapsed under the weight of the snow. It's not like you don't remember."

Old man Zhang glared at his younger son and said.

"Dad, I think the eldest sister is right. Just like what Lianyi said about 'preparing for a rainy day', it's not a bad thing for us to buy some food and save it. It's one thing to eat it ourselves. If the weather is good next year, we can also If you sell the grain, you can still get money back."

Zhang Zhong sat on the edge of the kang and expressed his opinion. He was also a good farmer, so he was also very sensitive to the weather.

"My father has recently started to buy food from home little by little under the pretense of going to town to work part-time. There is no need to do this in a big way.

If the year is good next year, that would be the best. If the year is bad next year, everyone will be hungry. We know that our old Zhang family has a surplus of food. If they come to borrow it, will Master and Nai borrow it or not?
If you borrow it, you will never come back. Our whole family also needs to eat and drink. My aunt is still pregnant and is expected to give birth in the summer.But if you don’t borrow it, we are all from the same ancestor in the village. Grandpa and grandma are kind-hearted and will definitely not refuse to save someone. However, our abilities are limited. Who we save or not saves will offend others. After all, people’s hearts are unpredictable, so we should try our best. For good.

The same goes for buying food. It's best to keep a low profile and save enough food to survive the disaster next year. You should also leave some emergency money at home. "

Although Lianyi was standing next to Hui Niang, because she had the experience of working in a wealthy family like the Dong family, she was somewhat knowledgeable, so she explained for Hui Niang, and everyone in Lao Zhang's family listened.

"Girl Lianyi is right, just do as she says. I hope God will show mercy and it will snow soon."

Finally, Lao Zhangtou ended the meeting that day with a sigh.

After that, the four sons of the Zhang family would follow Song Dachuan from time to time to work part-time in the town, and then bring home bags of grain. Although the money was decreasing, they saw that there was more grain in the cellar. This finally made everyone feel at ease.

After waiting for the New Year, it finally snowed. Unfortunately, it was light snow and did not even cover the ground. This made the farmers happy in vain. The atmosphere in the village was not very good either. The children who used to have fun were all quiet. Many people in the village would only say a few words and then separate when they met.

Lianyi has already begun to make preparations quietly. She already knows from Shijiu that next year will be a disaster year. The state capital where they are located first suffered from severe drought, and then suffered from insect disasters. The government did not provide timely relief, and many people fled the famine. People, in some places even entire villages, have left.

The original brother also died in this year. He did not have Lianyi to help him keep his body warm, and he would not be well fed and clothed because of the money Lianyi brought home. Song Dachuan's family could barely keep themselves from going hungry. , when encountering a natural disaster, Huzi is the first one not to survive.

Song Dachuan and his wife managed to survive in the end because of the care of the old Zhang family, because they fled the famine with Zhangjiacun, wandered around outside, and finally returned to Zhangjiacun.

However, at that time, the number of people in Zhangjiacun had been reduced by two-thirds, and the remaining people who came back alive were very skinny and barely survived because of the government's relief.

The old man Song's family was relatively lucky, because after Song Dashan discovered the gold bars found in Wankou Mountain, they encouraged Song Dashan to go to the state capital that was not affected by the disaster.

The family huddled together to keep warm. Although they ate high-priced food, no one starved to death. After the natural disaster passed, the family returned to Songjia Village. Each person received a portion of relief food. When they learned that Huzi was dead, they then When the news of the original body's death came back, they felt a breath of bad breath.

Now the bag of gold is lying in the rippled space, and Song Dashan's corpse has turned into white bones, so sometimes there is a bonus of luck in completing the task.

This is why every time Lianyi enters a world, while completing the task, she also tries her best to save as many people as possible without destroying the laws of the world. Therefore, she can earn merit from some ordinary tasks and accumulate less. Cheng Duo also improved her luck.

This time she was with the Song Dachuan family. She had done so much in advance in order to survive the natural disaster smoothly. Going to remind the old Zhang family before was also a step in advance. No matter what situation she would encounter during this escape, at least They won't be caught off guard.

There were only two light snowfalls in the whole winter, barely covering the ground, but it didn't take long for the snow to melt, and the winter wheat did not grow well. After a spring rain, the growth was uneven, and the wheat that grew was also uneven. There is no grouting, they are basically empty shells.

"Dad, should we still plant spring seeds?"

Hui Niang asked with some uncertainty. (End of chapter)
