After rebirth, the Queen and I are on the run.

"Hey!" Jiang Dalang responded, took out the precious gong, handed it to his younger brother, and said, "Erlang, please ring the gong to inform the villagers to go and have a look at the crop fields."

"Hey, brother." Xiao Jiang Erlang hung the gong around his neck, ran out of the workshop yard, banged the gong, and shouted to inform the villagers.

Grandpa Qin, Jiang Dalang, and Qin Xiaogu rushed to the crop fields.

Grandpa Qin walked and looked all the way until he saw the Qin Jiang family's fields. Grandpa Qin breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, there is no frost. The soybeans can continue to grow. After half a month, the pods can be harvested." ”

He also took the opportunity to tell them about some weather conditions they would encounter during the autumn harvest: "Frost is not a big deal, but the most scary thing is the ice rain. It freezes as soon as it hits the leaves of the crops. It can freeze the crops in the field." Pieces after pieces were ruined.”

After Grandpa Qin finished speaking, he asked them again: "Do you remember what I just said?"

Jiang Dalang and the others nodded: "Remember."

Grandpa Qin was relieved and said: "Although we have made money from the workshop and can use the money to buy food, food is human nature. If the food is damaged, the people in each county will not have enough to eat. We have Money is of no use, so I have to continue running away.”

Grandpa Qin remembered that two months before fleeing the famine, some poor families began to exchange their children for food. He was still frightened and said: "This year we have settled down and missed the right time. When the right time comes next year, we have to plant more food. Even if If our family can’t finish all the food, we can sell it at a low price so that others can have enough food... If only our family has enough food, and tens of thousands of families outside can’t have enough food, we will become the food for the victims of the disaster!”

Grandpa Qin was really afraid of running away without food. He told Jiang Dalang and the others over and over again about the importance of food, and the tragic story of the rich families in his hometown who were robbed and wiped out by the victims... It wasn't until Qin Xiaomi came that he Stop babbling.

Qin Xiaomi went to his own field and was very satisfied with his crops: "Grandpa, I said black soil is good. Look, in the whole village, the soybeans in my field grow the fattest."

Grandpa Qin snorted and said to her: "After the soybeans were planted, you only came here for a walk occasionally. Dalang helped you weed and fertilize. He even came to your field in the middle of the night to help eliminate insects. Otherwise, your soybeans would have been eaten early." Even if he is dead, he can produce such fat pods for you? You have to thank Dalang."

Well, indeed, Qin Xiaomi looked at Jiang Dalang and said, "Thank you, Brother Dalang."

Ha, Jiang Dalang grinned broadly, as happy as if he had picked up a huge sum of money. Just as he was about to say you're welcome, Old Man Hu rushed over.

"Brother Qin, are your crops okay?" Old Man Hu pulled his eldest grandson and ran over, and said to Qin Xiaomi: "My little boss, you are here too... Jin Jin, please salute your little boss quickly." ."

Hu Jinjin was about the same age as Qin Xiaomi. He smiled and saluted, "Hello, little boss."

After saying that, he hurried to Qin Xiaomi's soybean field.

After rushing to the other end of the soybean field, he stopped to take a few breaths to revive himself, then smiled and said to this side: "Village chief, little boss, let me help your family see if there are any insects in the soybean field." , you talk, don’t worry about me!”

Don't mind me, and don't drag me over to chat, otherwise I won't be able to hold it in anymore and will vomit on the spot, and my mother's job will be gone!
When Jiang Dalang saw this, his anger was half gone... If the Hu family dared to have evil thoughts towards Su Su, then don't blame him for not doing things properly.

Old Man Hu has always been direct and has already spoken: "Village Chief, Xiaodongjia, Dalang, Xiaogu, my family is stupid when it comes to gold, but stupid people don't have the guts to do evil things, and they are the most trustworthy, so if you don't mind, even if Send him to run errands and so on... He doesn't have to pay for it, and he is lucky to be used by the Qin and Jiang families!"

"Hu Laogui, two taels of silver a month are not enough for you? You have the audacity to ask your grandson for a job!" Old Man Qian pulled his granddaughter and rushed over. The speed was so fast that he almost dragged his granddaughter to death. Fly.

Grandpa Qin was frightened when he saw it, and said hurriedly: "Brother Qian, please slow down and be careful of the child."

"Brother Qin, don't worry. My Hua Ya is fine. She has eaten enough in the past two months and can often eat boiled eggs. She is much stronger and is not afraid of falling." Old man Qian pushed his granddaughter Hua Ya to Qin Xiaomi In front of him, he said flatteringly: "Xiao Dong, this is my Hua Ya. She will be ten years old next year, and she is very capable of working at home now." He then pushed his granddaughter: "Hua Ya, hurry up and salute Xiao Dong!"

"Huaya has met Xiaodongjia. Thank you Xiaodongjia for letting my family have enough food." Qian Huaya saluted awkwardly and looked at Qin Xiaomi with gratitude in her eyes: "Xiaodongjia is my benefactor."

Because the Qin family's workshop hired her mother to work, and because the Qin's family's workshop only hired female workers, she can now have enough to eat and be valued by her family.

Old Man Hu was so angry... Qian was so insidious that he actually asked his granddaughter to pretend to be pitiful to win over the little boss!

Qin Xiaomi looked down at Qian Huaya and said with a smile: "Grow up well, have a strong body and a good heart, and only then will the workshop accept you."

Qian Huaya was stunned for a moment, and when she realized what she was doing, she started crying... The little boss was willing to take her in, and she didn't have to worry about not having enough to eat in the future.

Old Man Qian was extremely angry and yelled at her: "You girl, why are you crying? You are so ignorant."

Qin Xiaomi said: "Mr. Qian, Hua Ya did nothing wrong. Don't scold her."

"Yes, yes, no scolding, no scolding. Nowadays, girls in our village are very valuable. People from other villages are so envious that they wish they could have a girl born in our village!" Old Man Qian quickly apologized and went to coax Hua Ya.

Not long after, villagers named Chai, Zhang, Sun, and Huang rushed over after seeing their crops and said to Grandpa Qin: "Village Chief, we have all seen it. The beans are fine. They can be harvested in another half month." ”

Zhang Niuwang said sadly: "But after harvesting the soybeans, we won't have to rush to plant vegetables... I heard that it might snow here in mid-October. After a snowfall, the half-grown vegetables It’s ruined.”

"There are also grain taxes... Our land is too thin, and the crops will not grow well. I'm afraid the harvest will be only 60%. After paying the grain taxes, there won't be much left. But the winter here is long, I'm afraid All the food is gone, and the winter is only half over."

As soon as these words came out, the people in the village were filled with sadness.

Qin Xiaomi looked at Grandpa Qin and said, "Grandpa, we can cultivate seedlings in our village. We can cultivate the radish and cabbage seeds first and raise them for half a month. After harvesting the soybeans, we can transplant the seedlings into the ground so that the seedlings will grow." With half a month of extra growing time, we can harvest a batch of winter vegetables for storage in November.”

Grandpa Qin nodded: "Growing seedlings and transplanting them? This is a good idea."

"Little boss, what should I do if the harvest is not enough to survive the winter?" The Huang family couldn't care less about being afraid of Qin Xiaomi and asked hurriedly.

Although the Huang family now has a job of cutting firewood and selling it, the Huang family is large and their income is small. If they don't prepare food for the winter early, they may really starve to death.

"I heard that it snows heavily here in the winter. After the heavy snow blocks the roads, people can't go to the town to buy food. People freeze to death and starve to death at home every year."

Grandpa Qin said: "In a few days, the Cao family from the county will come to the village to dig a well. Then ask them what the price of food is in the county. Buy the cheapest and transport it back. You can survive this long winter."

After everyone heard this, their frightened hearts calmed down a little.
