The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 274
Although there were several other families who did not agree with Third Aunt Wang's words, they did not take the matter of locust plague seriously.

No matter how powerful that girl is, can she still predict the locust plague?
Even the elders who have been farming for decades can't explain this kind of thing clearly, let alone a girl's family?

Seeing that there will be a bumper harvest in just ten days, wouldn't it cost people's lives if they were allowed to harvest in advance?

Wang Li was holding the sickle and thinking about it for a while, still a little worried, and turned back to look for Aunt Wang: "His aunt, don't say I didn't warn you in advance. You and your baby can survive by pointing to the food in this field, but open No joke, if you don’t have anyone, I’ll ask the three boys to come over and help, and I’ll collect it from your family first!”

Third Aunt Wang sneered: "Come on, his second uncle, if you want to take it, go ahead and take it from your family. I want to take it after it's ripe anyway. I don't believe it. A girl like her can be so powerful!" "

Wang Lizheng saw that Third Aunt Wang was unmoved, so he had no choice but to go to the fields to collect his own crops.

Wan Baoquan found Jing Li: "Ah Li, how sure are you about this locust plague?"

Jing Li muttered: "There is a [-] to [-]% chance of it, but it is always good to be prepared for this kind of thing. If you don't encounter it, forget it. If you encounter it, you can't afford to gamble!"

"Then the entire county now belongs to the prince, do we want to do this?" Wanbao didn't finish his sentence, but Jingli understood what he meant.

It seems that everyone should be notified of this, both publicly and privately, otherwise the losses will be great and life will be difficult for everyone.

"Let's do this! Go to Chang'an City to see Uncle Fang or Chen Zhongyu and see how he arranges it!"

Wanbao Quande ordered him to go to Chang'an without stopping, while Jingli went to the fields with his family.

The golden rice fields are blooming, and the harvesting women are lined up in a row, bending down to cut the rice.

The men put the harvested rice on the back frame and carried it back like a hill.

The little children carried a small basket and followed the adults to collect rice ears.

Just as Jing Li was about to put on her slippers and go to the fields, she was stopped by Mrs. Ge and the others: "Go back quickly. Either help you Fan Ainai cook, or go to the drying yard to help with the drying. Your legs are good, so you are not allowed to go to the fields. "

"It's okay. I'm fine now, aren't I?" Jingli still planned to go to the fields to help. After all, the most precious thing was rice.

Su Shi pushed her back: "Go back quickly, how long have you been recovering? There are so many people, they can't work without you, right?"

Jingli had no choice but to go to the drying yard, where several girls were turning over the threshed millet to dry it.

The drying area is so big, so I had to quickly dry out the moisture and move it to the side to make room for the people behind me.

Otherwise, every household would have to dry it, and how would there be such a big land!
When Uncle He passed by the drying yard, he saw Jingli plowing the grain with a rake. He hurried home and called out his eldest daughter-in-law and grandson: "Why are you two hiding at home? Why don't you go out and help!"

His eldest daughter-in-law said quickly: "Dad, I am in the paper mill and have no time to take care of the house. Taking advantage of not working these days, I will tidy up the house and make you some clothes."

"The clothes you are wearing are all in disrepair. If you don't make one quickly, you won't be able to see anyone in public!"

Uncle He stamped his feet and said, "I'm confused! I'm old, so what if I don't see anyone? You hurry up and take your baby to help, don't mention the money."

"Now we live our lives relying on our boss! Only when our boss is good can we be better off. If our boss doesn't have anything to eat, what else can we do!"

Uncle He's daughter-in-law is also a capable person. When her father-in-law said this, she understood and immediately responded: "Okay, I will help you right now!"

He turned around and called his younger son: "Don't be idle, bring a basket and help pick up rice!"

When the woman next door saw that everyone in the family was helping out, she didn't care about cleaning up the house. She wiped her hands on her apron and said, "Sister-in-law He, wait for me!" Sister-in-law He cursed in her heart, this Follow the foot essence, this follower is very fast like no other, but his face is very enthusiastic: "Ms. Baozi, are you going too?"

Bao Ziniang followed up with a smile: "That's necessary! Our boss is benevolent and righteous, so we have to put aside even the most important things and focus on our boss's affairs first, right?"

Sister-in-law He was disdainful. My father-in-law didn’t come back to call for help, so why didn’t he see you? This time, his words were even better than his singing.

The two of them had their own thoughts and hurriedly took the sickle to the Jing family's field.

The August sun was scorching the earth.

The sun was so intense that Jingli's back felt a little burning. The sun was too poisonous.

In order to be busy harvesting, several old ladies delivered lunch directly to the fields.

A basket of whole-grain steamed buns is placed on the edge of the field, and buckets of cold mung bean soup are placed there. You can use your own bowls and chopsticks to fill the soup with the steamed buns.

While eating, Baozi's father talked to Uncle He's eldest son: "Brother He, I have enough to eat now. When you were talking about running away from famine, who would have thought that we would be able to have a full stomach one day!" "

Uncle He's eldest son only had a steamed bun in a few mouthfuls. He choked a little after eating it, so he quickly drank a big mouthful of mung bean soup. It was cool, sweet and delicious.

"We are lucky and have met a good family, but the folks who fled with us may not be as lucky as we are!" Uncle He's eldest son sighed with emotion.

Baozi's father also expressed emotion: "Yes, it's not easy to live these days. Thanks to my boss's ability, no one dares to bully me under the eyes of the Liao people."

Bao Ziniang quietly brought two steamed buns to her man and whispered, "Dad, put them in your pocket and eat them later when you're hungry!"

Uncle He's eldest son turned his head away and pretended not to see it.

Baozi's dad was a little annoyed: "You silly bitch, we are allowed to eat so many steamed buns, but you still want to hide your secrets, it's embarrassing!"

Baoziniang couldn't help but throw the bun into the man's arms and ran away.

Baozi's father was helpless. He was afraid of being hungry because he was afraid that he would not finish his last meal.

The day after I received it, many people couldn't hold it any longer. They had to harvest such a large family property. I was not afraid of this, so I started to harvest.

After a few days, many people couldn't bear it anymore. Sometimes this atmosphere is just exaggerated.

Even if there is nothing wrong, seeing everyone busy harvesting makes me feel uneasy.

Even Zhu's mother-in-law has started harvesting. Like Third Aunt Wang, she has lost her son and daughter-in-law and has several children. If something happens to the fields again, the remaining two sons may not be willing to do it. Helped.

Aunt Shui Zhen couldn't help but say to Third Aunt Wang: "Third Aunt, you see, you and Zhang Siwei's family are the only ones who have confiscated it now. How about we take it? Just a little less, it's better than nothing!"

Third Aunt Wang said disdainfully: "I won't harvest it. The crops will be fully ripe in seven or eight days at most. Why can't I wait!"

But this afternoon, dark clouds suddenly came over, and the dark space seemed to be suppressed entirely, which made people feel more and more panicked.
