Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"Hey, isn't that Zhao Shan?" Everyone looked forward with a smile and recognized him at a glance.

"This is Zhao Shan, why does he look like this?" Zhang Xiaoyan whispered to Xiaolan and Xiaoting.

"Wife, why don't you agree to our marriage? I really like you very much." Zhao Shan saw Xiaoru and hurriedly approached her.

Zhao Shan was ugly, and Xiaoru was so frightened that she turned pale and hid behind Wang.

"Xiao Ru, get in the car quickly, Da Lang, please protect your sister." Wang instructed.

Zhao Shan was finally stopped by Mr. Sheng and his group. The eldest brother's family ran faster than rabbits, and soon the road was covered with dust. Sheng Lanhua's family hurried to catch up.

After seeing off the guests, Zhang Shanfeng and Xin were not in a hurry to go back. Sheng Xuan heard a lot of news from Manager Xu. No matter whether the news was accurate or not, he always had to tell his family about it.

In ancient times, spreading rumors of plague and causing panic would result in imprisonment. When Shopkeeper Xu told Sheng Xuan the news, he avoided people, which showed that he treated Sheng Xuan as his own. Otherwise, he would never reveal such important news.

After hearing this, Sheng Xuan was not sure whether the story was true or not. He was panicked and just wanted the banquet to end quickly so that he could tell his family the news.

Farmers depend on the weather for their livelihood. Now that there is a severe drought, life is hard. Everyone is waiting for the harvest and saving money to get through the New Year. If the drought is combined with a plague, then things will really get serious.

"Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, Aunt, I think what Manager Xu said makes sense. He has a wide range of knowledge and knows many people. It's possible that the news was brought to him by people from other places." Xiao Lan thought for a moment and continued, "Look, it's so hot here. It's probably even hotter in the south. After the flood recedes, if the bodies that were not dug out and buried on the spot rot and were carried out by local residents, the plague would spread widely. It is estimated that the plague has spread to other places a long time ago, but we are far away and have not heard of it."

The family listened to Xiaolan's analysis and fell silent for a while. Zhang Shanfeng was the first to come to his senses. "I think Xiaolan's analysis makes sense. We should pay more attention to it in the future."

"Well, illness comes from the mouth, so everything you eat and drink must be clean." Xiao Lan added, "Grandpa, why don't you move over here. I'm afraid that if the world gets really chaotic, it won't be so easy for you to move, and there will be no shortage of arson, murder and looting on the road. Why not move over now and live with us? My family has a big farm and a deep well, so at least three meals a day can be guaranteed, which is much better than guarding the house alone."

Xishan Village has many mountains, and the Zhang family's main source of income is fruit trees. The weather is so dry that they can forget about growing fruit this year. It would be better for the whole family to move to Xiaolan's house. First, her house is big enough for their whole family to live in. Second, they can help their daughter's family to look after the family business. Besides, his eldest son is now living in Xiaolan's house. Judging from the momentum, he plans to work with them in the future.

"Okay, we'll go back tomorrow to pack up and move here." Zhang Qingshan thought for a while and said firmly. In this world, being alive is good enough. A family should work together to increase their ability to resist external forces. Compared with being alive, other things are not worth mentioning.

"Dad, Mom, let's harvest the beans this morning." After Xiao Lan saw that her grandfather agreed with her suggestion, she quickly discussed another matter with Sheng Xuan and Zhang. "The plague is coming. If the refugees come to our place, they will not be polite when they see the grain in the fields."

Xiao Lan saw that Sheng Xuan was still hesitating, probably hoping that the refugees would not come to Shengjia Village. Xiao Lan gave him another blow, "Dad, let's take a step back. If the farmers in the village have no food to eat and see the beans in the fields, do you think they will eat the beans or chew the grass roots?"

Sheng Xuan shuddered when he heard this. "We need to harvest the beans in our fields quickly. We'll start harvesting tomorrow. Although the beans are not yet ripe, it's better to have some than nothing."

The next day, Zhang Qingshan, Xin took Xiaoyan, Xiaocheng and Xiaoqiang back to Xishan Village to pack their luggage. Zhang Qingfeng did not go back. He was still busy in the tofu shop. There was less work in the tofu shop, so he and Fu were able to run it. Almost all of his luggage had been moved here, so Xiaoyan went back to pack up some of the remaining things.

Sheng Xuan hired a dozen temporary workers to start harvesting beans, and Xiao Lan and Xiao Wen also went to the fields to help. Because the world was unstable, robberies occurred on the way to and from the town, and the safety of students and teachers could not be guaranteed, so the private school was closed for the holiday, and the opening date would be notified separately.

The village head is over 50 years old this year. Those who can become village heads are the most knowledgeable in the village. When he saw Sheng Xuan's family harvesting beans more than a month in advance, he guessed that this year's harvest would not be good.

This kind of thing is mostly speculation, and it is impossible to ask face to face, because the parties involved also inferred it based on some things. Sheng Xuan's ability to make a fortune in such a short time is inseparable from his good vision.

He hesitated for a whole night and decided that his family should start harvesting grain tomorrow.

Old Master Sheng was not as concerned as the village head, and he called Sheng Xuan to his home that night to inquire.

When harvesting beans during the day, the weather was unusually hot and Sheng Xuan felt a little bit like he had heatstroke. Fortunately, he had stocked up on medicine at home in advance. I heard that medicine in the town is very expensive now.

Sheng Xuan endured the discomfort in his body, told the old man some of their family's speculations, and then left.

The weather is so hot. In previous years, Shengxuan and his family all drank raw water. Xiaolan got up half an hour earlier in the morning to boil a pot of hot water for her family to drink just in case. She wanted to eliminate all factors that could make people sick.

The next day, Zhang Qingshan and his family moved in. Xiao Lan arranged for them to live in the backyard. After they had packed up everything that day, the family followed Sheng Xuan to harvest beans.

The village head was also harvesting crops that day, but the crops were not yet fully grown, so some villagers followed suit. The head had some influence, and the next day, more people came to harvest crops in the village.

There were still a small number of people in the village who thought their actions were stupid. "What kind of families are the head of the village and Sheng Xuan's family? How many acres of land do they have? How much grain do they have in their home? Even if the harvest is poor this year, they won't starve to death. Why are you following their example?"

"That's right. The grain harvest will be in a little over a month. If you harvest now, won't this year's harvest be wasted?"

In the eyes of farmers, their behavior is a waste of food and they will be punished by God.

Sheng Xuan was under a lot of psychological pressure. The scolding from the villagers made him start to doubt himself, but when he thought of his daughter's speculation, he gritted his teeth and continued to harvest.

After the soybeans are harvested, they are directly hung in the farm to dry. In such hot weather, they are usually harvested on the same day and dried the next day.
