The day of the warm house wine went smoothly. Every household in the village had a day off. Yao Fucai made a fool of himself yesterday and didn't show up again today. I heard that he couldn't see the whole family getting sick. He was so stupid that he took an oxcart back to the county early. Inside.

Grandpa Yan used Qin Ziye's drunkenness as an excuse last night and arranged for him to stay in another room. Today, he deliberately let Da Lang and Brother Jue sit on both sides of him during the banquet, but he didn't let him cause trouble again.

Grandma's natal family had seven or eight people in two rooms with her eldest uncle and third uncle. The gifts were eight feet of fine cotton and a bronze mirror prepared by my grandfather, which was the heaviest gift among all the guests.

Although Yan Du's mother-in-law was invited, no one showed up until the banquet started at noon. Fu Bao saw that her mother was not in a good mood, so he sat close to her.

Fu Bao heard from his grandma that his mother had not been to her family for almost ten years, and she was not allowed to enter her mother's house even when she returned home to give her gifts during the New Year.

Grandpa is gone, and her aunt and uncle, who are powerful, listen to her and warn grandma not to bring trouble to the family and try to avoid the Yan family's bad luck. In addition, this eldest sister-in-law has not given birth to a son and a half in more than ten years, which is even more... She doesn't like it.

"Mother, don't worry, mother is blessed."

In fact, Mrs. Yan Du was used to it a long time ago, and she felt much better holding her daughter who was leaning towards her.

"If you don't come, don't come. Anyway, my mother has long thought that we don't have this relationship." But her voice was still a little disappointed.

Four or five people came to Xiu Niang's house. Seeing that Xiu Niang was back and doing well now, and that the family had undergone such big changes, she was very happy for her. They chatted with Xiu Niang for a long time, and her mother even brought Xiu Niang a basket of local eggs. , which can be regarded as intentional.

"Old patriarch, your family has picked up ginseng, and their hard life is over. If you have anything to do in the future, you should take care of the village."

The village chief and clan chief both sat at the main table with Grandpa Yan. After drinking a few glasses of wine, they talked a lot. They were happy to see that the Yan family had finally turned around. After all, they were all members of the same clan.

Grandpa Yan: "Do you care more about us than you do? Village chief, I think it will be difficult to harvest this year. It has not rained for so long. I heard that the ground in neighboring villages is cracking to fight for water."

Village Chief: "Yes! Fortunately, our village is close to the river, but I have noticed in the past two days that the water level is getting lower and lower, and the villagers have begun to carry water to irrigate the fields, otherwise I am afraid that the rice will not be able to ear."

It seems that the old aunt was right when she said that the remaining money in your family should be stocked with food. "

Grandpa Yan: "Although my family doesn't have to pay taxes, we only have three acres of thin farmland. In what year should we not buy food to eat? The village chief still has to remind every family to prepare some food."

"No, but what should I do? If there is no harvest this year, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pay the taxes."

Now the villagers were all talking about it.

"Our family only relies on those acres of land. I hope God opens his eyes and it rains as soon as possible."

Grandpa Yan: "If you ask me, instead of blaming everyone, it's better to make plans early. There is no harm in stocking up on more food. At least you don't have to flee."

"Old patriarch, I don't think so. It won't rain tomorrow. This phenomenon has not happened in the past few years. At most, we can just collect less this year." It was Yan Laoqi who spoke.

"That's it, don't stand and talk without hurting your back. Who has money leftover to store food like yours? It's not bad if you don't starve to death." His wife also followed the stick and made sarcastic remarks.

Grandpa Yan: “I usually read books, and occasionally I heard people in the town say: A severe drought will be followed by a severe cold, and no one can tell what will happen.

Anyway, our family has to stock up on food and firewood, and then make winter clothes and quilts for the children, otherwise the children won’t be able to wear them if it gets really cold.

It is best if there is no disaster, but there is no harm in being prepared. If you have money, hoard more, and if you don’t have money, hoard less. If God really doesn't open his eyes, then you have earned it. "

Grandpa Yan also thinks that it is enough to remind people. If he talks too clearly, it will turn into a lie and confuse the public. Everyone has a weighing heart whether they listen or not. At the worst, these words will be spread to some extent.

"I think we'll wait another ten or eight days. It's only right to pour some water into the fields. Tomorrow I have to chase the boys at home to fetch water and soak the rice."

"Then you have to rush early tomorrow. I see that the water in the river is getting shallower day by day, and I don't know when it will disappear."

After dinner, except for Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan, most people in the village went back, and only the helpers were busy cleaning up.

The sixth aunt and the second uncle were a little older. After eating, they sat over and chatted with Grandma Yan.

"Chunlian! Does your family really need to stock up on food and firewood?"

"How can this be false? Don't believe it. I think the climate this year is a little wrong. My boss went up to the mountain and said that many wild grasses and vegetables have dried up. What else could it be if it wasn't a drought?

If you have some spare money, you should stock up on enough food for the winter. Even if there is some harvest in the fields, I think there will be a food shortage this year. If there is less food, the price of food will definitely skyrocket.

Also prepare more firewood in advance. A severe drought combined with a cold winter can be fatal. "
