Quick wear greedy little koi

I encountered adults several times, and after looking through them and confirming that they were wild vegetables and mushrooms, I stopped talking.

"Nannan, this is your Aunt Hu, this is you..."

Xin Jin spoke obediently, but a bunch of women were talking and it was not convenient for Qiu Zhuang to speak. He was helpless in responding to Nan Nan's request for help.

"Linlin, come here and give Grandpa Hu a hug."

It was the old man he had met before, so Xin Jin went straight over to him. The women were very respectful of the old man and stopped teasing Xin Jin.

But there were still a lot of people surrounding Lin Xi.

After making sure that most people had arrived, the village chief began to speak. As Xinjin listened, he fell asleep.

After Qiu Zhuang found out, he immediately brought the person over to help Xin Jin sleep more comfortably.

When Xinjin woke up, she was already in the room, and there was no one there.

Seeing the familiar room, Xin Jin was not afraid and asked the system.

[Brother System, what did the village chief say? ]

System 0875 complained inwardly: I thought you didn’t want to know, you were sleeping so soundly.

[There are several main points: First, there may be a severe drought next year. Forget about the crops that have already been planted in the fields. For those that have not been planted, you can choose to plant a drought-resistant crop.

Second: We need to find someone to repair the abandoned reservoir in the village. Each household must provide one person. Also, do not sell this year's grain. Bring more food home, especially more long-lasting food. 】

Of course, the village chief talked a lot of nonsense. Some people believed it and some didn’t, but those who had experienced the drought knew how terrible it was, and the elderly in their families were preparing themselves.

There is a saying that goes, it is better to be prepared.

Even if not, that's even better. Life will just be a little harder and the sweet potatoes will taste a little less tasty, but that's it. At least my family is there, and that's the greatest happiness.

No one refuted these words, but some people were curious about how the village chief knew it. In the end, they found out that it was said by Uncle Qiu in the village. He was the oldest person in the village. He served in the army when he was young and was said to be a high-ranking official. When he got old, he wanted to return to his hometown, so he came back.

He had the same dream for several days in a row...

Anyway, the news got out, and everyone was preparing for the drought the following year.

Xinjin ignored all this. When she woke up, the house was empty.

She was not afraid either. Her parents should have gone to work, and her second brother should have gone to the mountains to pick wild vegetables.

I was a little hungry, so I found something to eat.

[Xinjin, aren't you curious?] How can I sleep with so much noise?

[I can't eat, and I can't play, so I sleep so well. 】

System 0875: This explanation is very interesting.

Fortunately, Xin Jin didn't have to wait long before Qiu Qiang showed up with a bamboo basket on his back. There were few mushrooms and bamboo shoots on the mountain now, so they would only be available after the next rain.

So most of what was in Qiu Qiang's bamboo basket were wild vegetables and dry firewood. Qiu Qiang brought back whatever he saw and could.

This time he was lucky enough to find some fresh wood ear mushrooms, which he brought back.

Seeing the black stuff, Xin Jin asked doubtfully, "Second brother, is this delicious?"

"It's delicious. This thing is really delicious, but it's not as delicious as meat."

After getting a positive response from his second brother, Xin Jin also smiled, "Then let mom stir-fry the black fungus for dinner tonight."

Qiu Qiang shook his head. "That won't work. Fresh fungus is poisonous. It can only be fried with meat after it has been dried. Besides, dried fungus can be stored for several years without going bad."

Xinjin was so happy to hear that it could be played for so long.

"Second brother, let's find Duoduo's thing and put it there."

Qiu Qiang shook his head and said, "This thing is hard to find." In this respect, he was lucky.

Hearing this, Xin Jin had no choice but to give up and take whatever he came across.

After this busy period, the house is no longer as empty as it was before I came, but the most common things on the surface are dry firewood, wild vegetables, mushrooms, and occasionally a few pieces of meat.

The remaining dried meat is all in the cellar. My father and second brother spent two or three days digging the cellar. It is not very big, only about 30 square meters, but it can hold a lot of things.

Qiu Zhuang also placed racks inside to dry meat and store more food. In short, Qiu Zhuang had made all the arrangements.

On the surface, we still need to go up the mountain to find food. The food in the cellar should be used as much as possible, and it should not be discovered by other people in the village.

You can’t bet on human nature.

In short, Qiu Zhuang specifically emphasized to his family that food at home should not be taken out, nor should they tell others that there is a lot of food at home.

Xinjin followed Qiu Qiang up the mountain, mainly to dig wild vegetables and collect firewood. This time, people who went up the mountain met several people. Maybe because they had just heard about it, no one believed it, so most of the people who went up the mountain were children, playing and fighting, and digging wild vegetables.

Or some people are a little panicked and don’t know what preparations to make.

But some people have already started to dig wild vegetables from above. They are not in a hurry to get dry firewood, but mainly pick up some things that can be dried in the sun.

At night, Lin Xi was a little conflicted. After Qiu Zhuang and the other three came back from catching the eels and cleaning up, Lin Xi didn't say anything when it was time to go to bed. He tossed and turned but still couldn't fall asleep.

Qiu Zhuang knew that Lin Xi had something on her mind, so he hugged her and said, "Xiao Xi, if there's anything, just tell me, don't keep it in your heart."

Lin Xi turned around and looked at the man in front of him, "Brother Zhuang, I want to talk to my father."

If she didn't tell it, she would feel uncomfortable. She was not sure before, but this time the village chief said it, she was sure, so she wanted to tell her father. The sooner he told her, the sooner he could prepare.

Qiu Zhuang hugged Lin Xi and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. Xiao Jin doesn't have to go to class tomorrow, so our whole family should go visit our father-in-law and bring some more food."

"Thank you, Brother Zhuang."

After a sleepless night, Qiu Zhuang woke up earlier than usual this time. Before dawn, he went to the river to collect the fish to avoid being seen by others.

After I put the things into the house, not long after, I heard a noise outside. I couldn't sleep. It was an old man from the village. I couldn't sleep, but I still had time to go. I went to the mountain to see if there was anything to eat and bring it back.

Qiu Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he would have to get up earlier in the future.

Qiu Zhuang put the fish he brought up in a separate tank. Today's harvest was pretty good, with about 30 kilograms of fish. Because he had to go to his father-in-law's house, he did not sell them. There were also eels in another tank, which were all caught last night. It seemed that the eels were endless and he could never catch them all.

There are hundreds of eels in there. At first glance, they are so densely packed that it looks scary. If you reach in, you can catch two at random.

Lin Xi got up when he heard the sound, and saw that Qiu Zhuang's clothes were wet, so he knew that he had just come out of the river.

"Brother Zhuang, go change your clothes."

After Qiu Zhuang went to change his clothes, Lin Xi put the fish that could survive longer into the tank, and dried the dying fish and kept them for later use.

I also took out some fish for today's breakfast and five eggs to fry.
