Chapter 938: The grain field reasoned
Old man Xuan was angry when he thought about it, this Xuan Miao'er and their family gave all their jobs to a person with a foreign surname, even if it was his own grandson, but it was also surnamed Su, and he was not from the old Xuan family. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Miao'er, grandfather didn't mean you, you told me how much you have helped the Su family in the past few years, it's your aunt's family, but it's also a foreign surname, why don't you want to think about your uncle and them? You are all members of the Xuan family? Even if we had any conflicts before, it was our own family's business. "Old Man Xuan said seriously.
Xuan Miao'er was really speechless, how many times have I said this, but in this public place, there are still outsiders on the side. Because many old people in the family can't do heavy work, they are all sitting in this grain field rubbing grass ropes and chattering, so Old Man Xuan is talking here, and everyone can hear it.
However, at this time, most people still prefer the thinking of Old Man Xuan, and they also think that their son is their own family, so they are also whispering over there.
Xuan Miao'er naturally understood what Old Man Xuan meant, this is to use public opinion to create momentum? Use these to press yourself? But you chose the wrong time to say this, she looked at Old Man Xuan with a smile: "Grandfather, in the past two days, I asked my cousin to do carpenter work, which was driven out of the night in a row, but there was no salary, because these things were used for disaster relief, our family received the emperor's favor, when this country is in trouble, can we watch?"
Old Man Xuan listened to Bai Gan and didn't believe it: "Miao'er, how can this be, that Qianfu is the richest in this Fengnan country, can you still have no money to work for them?"
"Grandfather, the disaster outside Beiguan is serious, and there is a locust plague, there are no harvests in many places this year, many people are starving to death, Qianfu this year's harvest is basically taken out for disaster relief, I am also a person who has received the emperor's favor, how can I earn this silver? "Xuan Miao'er said in a loud voice, and it was also for the people around her to hear, since you want to do this to me, then we will spread it out for everyone to hear.
Old Man Xuan also knows the seriousness of this natural disaster, so he can't talk about those things in his own family anymore: "Then you have to worry more and make more efforts, this is a big deal." ”
Xuan Wencheng didn't expect that this was something that he didn't make money to do in vain, so he had no energy: "Dad, the rice over there hasn't been cut yet, let's go back, we can't help anything with this wonderful thing, you see I can't work as a carpenter, and I will collect toads for two days." ”
Old Man Xuan thought about his family's land, and he didn't know how many days he could harvest it, so he also wanted to go back: "That's okay, Miao'er, I'll go back with your third uncle." ”
Xuan Miao'er knew that they couldn't do things that were not beneficial: "Then grandfather and third uncle walked slowly." ”
After they left, the old people sitting in the grain field also began to talk about the locust plague, which was a matter of human life, which was naturally more important than the family's life.
An old man in a green shirt sighed at the sky: "Oh, this locust plague is a natural disaster, this guarantee is God's punishment for Beiguan, I'm afraid that some of them will offend God." ”
At this time, people were superstitious, not superstitious, but more because they didn't understand science and had little knowledge, so many things didn't make sense.
Another old man in a black coat on the side continued: "But no, this natural and man-made disaster is inevitable, we worship the sky every year to ask for God's blessing, you see that our village is getting better and better?"
At this time, an old woman with a blue background and white flower cloth sitting close to Xuan Miao'er opened her mouth angrily: "You old men must not disagree with what you old men said, our village is doing well, and it is directly related to Xuan Wentao and Xuan Lao's family." "This old woman is the wife of the patriarch, and although she is illiterate, she is sensible.
The old man in the green shirt did not object and continued: "What the patriarch said is reasonable, we all remember the good of Boss Xuan in our hearts, I mean that this has been cut away, this natural disaster is not still the most powerful, you say that no matter how good our village is, if it is a big flood, or a locust plague, we will not still be finished, so this sacrifice to the sky cannot be saved." ”
The patriarch's wife nodded in agreement this time: "This old brother is right, you said that no one can win the sky at this time, if God doesn't exert power, it's easy to say anything, if God is powerful, we can't do it." ”
The old man in the black coat nodded in agreement: "That's not it, I experienced this locust plague when I was a child, the grasshopper is like a gust of wind, there is nothing in the past, that is not inferior to the power of the flood." ”
Xuan Miao'er listened to the words of these old men, of course she didn't agree with their statements, because some disasters could be prevented, such as locust plagues, at least they could be detected early to reduce losses.
Xuan Miao'er asked Qianluo to collect the toads there, and moved a small stool to sit next to the pile of old people: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, I have read this literature about the locust plague in several books, in fact, the locust plague is not a natural disaster, it can be prevented and controlled. ”
Everyone respects Xuan Miaoer, because everyone knows how Hewan Village got better, and it was all driven by Xuan Wentao's family, but Xuan Wentao's family also relied on Xuan Miaoer's to get ahead, so the village respects this little girl.
However, the old people were still unconvinced by such a statement, and they all shook their heads to express their disagreement.
The patriarch's wife looked at Xuan Miao'er: "The granddaughter of the Xuan family, you are still young and don't understand this, we will understand if we have lived for a long time, this person can't fight the sky." ”
Xuan Miao'er smiled, she couldn't directly contradict these old people, and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, some of them we can't fight, but some can be avoided, such as locust plague, there will be locusts in a long drought, locusts are difficult to survive in the moist land, but they don't eat soybeans, so soybeans and corn and other crops are planted at intervals in the dry fields, that is, the sun is good and the locust plague is avoided." And if it is really found early, you can dig out the eggs earlier, there will be a lot less, there are some other ways, low-lying places are prone to locusts, then it is better to change that kind of place into a pond, and there are too many wastelands, you can plant some fruit trees, and you can also prevent disasters, and you can also plant some flowering plants, which can attract a lot of birds and reduce locusts. ”
The old people were a little confused when they heard it, thinking that she was right, but they felt that they couldn't turn the corner for a while.
The old man in the green shirt stepped on the straw rope in his hand and buckled it under his feet: "Can this really be avoided?"
Xuan Miao'er nodded: "In fact, not only the locust plague can be avoided, but the flood can also be avoided, as long as the river is repaired and the river channel is widened, the flood can also be avoided, unless it is a big flood that has not been encountered in a hundred years, otherwise you think, no matter how heavy the rain is, the water will go down the river, and the river is high and wide, how can there be danger, right?"
The old men on the grain field nodded at such a table, and the patriarch's wife looked at Xuan Miao'er with a smile: "The granddaughter of the Xuan family is a different woman, you look at these words, if you don't listen to her, how can we think of it? Isn't this reasonable? But the granddaughter of the Xuan family, this god still has to be respected... (To be continued.) )
