Chapter 77 Worrying about the Weather

"If not for anything else, even if it's windy and rainy, people can have someone to take shelter from the rain, and they can sit down properly when eating. We all have to rent a house, so we should work hard this month. Come on."

Boss He nodded and said with a simple smile: "Don't worry, mom. My son is very strong. I will definitely sell more this month."

Mrs. Xu also smiled and said, "I am not afraid of hard work, but I am afraid of poverty. My daughter-in-law must sell breakfast well and make more money so that the family can live a good life."

Hearing his wife's final decision, He Laoyou said nothing. He believed in her decision and was thinking about whether to enlarge the cart a little and ask his eldest brother to make a few more tables and chairs.

Xia Yining likes it when the whole family works together. Only in this way can they live a good life. She happily plays with her little feet.

He said loudly: "Then, my little brother and nephew can live in the shop and go home to eat. This way, they will be plump and healthy, hehe..."

Hearing what she said, Mrs. He felt jealous and said, "Tsk tsk~~~ No wonder you wanted to rent a shop, it turns out it was for those three brats, not for mom~~." Her tone was sour and her eyes were full of jealousy, even her own son was jealous.

Xia Yining hurried over, patted her calf like a flatterer and said, "No, Ning'er is mainly worried about how hard it is for mom and dad to walk around all day. Ning'er sees it with her own eyes and feels pain in her heart."

"If you rent a shop, you can sleep longer and walk less. As for my little brother and nephew, they are just incidental."

That very fawning and servile little appearance made everyone cover their mouths and laugh, and they felt that the house was really lively and it was not lonely even after the two children left.

After lunch, the whole family was tired and went to take a nap. Mother He brought her some seeds and said, "Some of them are shriveled. I don't know if they can sprout. If not, tell your mother and go to the village to buy some this afternoon."

Xia Yining thought of the "Stream of Life" in the space and decided to soak the grains in water. Maybe they would become very useful and might even produce new seeds. Thinking of this, he took out a few taels of silver from his pocket.

He said seriously: "Buy more. Yanyan wants to grow food in the fairyland. If it works, maybe everyone won't have to go hungry anymore."

You have to know that in ancient times, the grain yield per mu was very low, only about 500 to 600 kilograms per mu. After paying the land tax, it was difficult to support a family.

He was a little excited when she heard this. She held her hand tightly and asked, "Is what Ning'er said true? Lord Chiyan really wants to grow crops and produce high yields, so that everyone can have enough food."

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. She stood up and was about to walk out, not even taking her nap. Even Old Man He was dragged out of the door by her, and he didn't react until he reached the village.

He said helplessly: "Old lady, everyone is taking a nap, where can I buy it?"

Mrs. He glanced at him and said, "You go to Zheng Lizheng's house to buy some, and I'll go to my eldest brother and his wife's house to buy the remaining seeds from the two families first. That should be enough. We can also buy some more vegetables. You can come and get them later."

When his wife spoke, Old Man He touched his nose and muttered, "Okay, okay, I was spoiled by you when you were young, and now you are getting stronger and stronger, hey~~~"

Mrs. He: “…”

Feeling a little embarrassed, he scolded with a smile: "You old man have no shame, be careful that someone hears and laughs at you." As he said that, he reached out and patted him on the back.

Xia Yining, who was sitting on the bed, was so shocked that her mouth opened wide. She silently retracted her outstretched hand and said worriedly, "Will you get burned in such a strong sun?"

She looked up at the sky, thinking that it hadn't rained in the half month since she came, but the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and muttered, "Is there going to be a drought? God won't punish her as a little kid and make her walk to escape the famine?"

Old Man He shouted at the door, and Zheng Lizheng quickly opened the door. Seeing that it was him, he asked, "What's wrong? Now you have time to come and see an old man like me."

Old man He, who was sweating all over, smiled and said, "Quick, quick, get out of the way. It's so hot today. How can it be so hot? It's never been this hot in previous years."

After hearing his words, Zheng Lizheng finally understood what was wrong. He frowned and looked at the sky. The scorching sun seemed to be going to dry him out.

Not understanding what he was doing, Old Man He pushed him and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something big happening in the village?"

Zheng Lizheng poured him a bowl of water and said, "How long has it been since it rained? If it continues like this, the fields will be welded to death. We can only draw water from the well to irrigate the fields."

The fields are a very important thing for the common people. Old man He didn't even drink the water and said, "I haven't been to the fields yet, so I don't know..." Looking at the scorching sun, his heart was always beating fast.

You know, they fled to the south to escape famine. If they want to escape to famine again, where can they flee to?

Once the time comes to flee from famine, it means fleeing for one's life, and there will be dead bodies everywhere. At that time... Thinking of his childhood memories, he couldn't help but shudder.

Zheng Lizheng was older than him and had a clearer memory of the famine, so he comforted him: "It's okay. I went to the fields to check on the grain this morning. They are all very energetic. I hope it will rain in a few days."

I patted his shoulder and asked, "Why are you here in the middle of the day without taking a break? Is business in town good?"

Thinking of the business, Old Man He temporarily suppressed his worries and said, "Let's sell some of the remaining grain seeds. They will be of some use."

Hearing this, Zheng Lizheng thought that he was going to research new food, and thinking about the secrets of the family, he stopped asking, got up and went to the small firewood room to find it, handed it to him and said, "Not much, only one acre of land is left."

Old Man He glanced at him and said, "Why are there so many left? Are you saving them for next time?"

"Eh~~~", Zheng Lizheng sighed first, then explained: "It's because of my age that my brain is confused. I bought some extra at that time, so it's just right for you to use it, so it won't be wasted. Otherwise, my family will find time to open up the land and plant these crops."

Putting half a tael of silver on the table, Old Man He hurriedly stood up with the bag in his hand, saying as he walked, "I still have to go to my eldest brother's house to pick up my wife. When we are at home resting, I will invite you to my house for a drink."

Zheng Lizheng grabbed the silver and was about to chase him, shouting, "It was originally the remaining stuff, why are you giving it back, old man? Isn't this a slap in your brother's face?"

Old man He, who was walking in front, heard the sound of the old man walking faster and faster, and muttered angrily, "Humph~~~ It's fine if the old woman calls me old thing, but the head of the village also calls me that. The grain is good but the person is bad~!"

"If I wasn't in a hurry to pick someone up, I would have stopped to argue with him."

Was he angry? He was no longer tired, nor sleepy. He walked and cursed, "I should have known not to treat him to a drink. What a waste."
