Chapter 75 (Planning)

Bai Cuicui has been very busy lately, especially after thinking that there will be natural disasters next year. I remember that the novel "Fu Yuyuan" described it like this - "In the twenty-ninth year of Jingxuan, disasters fell from the sky to Chu. In the first month, six earthquakes occurred in Lingzhou County, and many valleys cracked, ruined the city and temple, and injured people. In the middle of June of that year, the counties under the Jingzhou region continued to rain heavily in March, causing the two rivers of Qiang and Ba to gush, and the water gushing was three or four feet high. Sixty-one days of retirement. In Cangling County alone, there were 12,792 houses collapsed, 18,22 houses were damaged, and more than 2,000 people died. ”

Among them, Anping County is a small county under the jurisdiction of Cangling County, which means that in June next year, they will usher in a two-month flood here, and it will be preceded by more than three months of heavy rain. One can imagine how serious this is for the half-year croppers who rely on God for food. Originally, even if you stay at home for half a year, although the food will be tighter, but the big guys are crops, and people will naturally have surplus food to survive. But the problem is that since the summer of the 28th year of Jingxuan, that is, this summer, the weather has begun to become extremely hot, but fortunately they belong to the southern region, although the precipitation is not as abundant as in previous years, it can barely meet the growth of crops, but the harvest is not as rich as before. Among them, many people who understand the current situation began to secretly buy grain early.

Therefore, Wang Qiaoyu in the article also knew the actions of these people and the change in the weather, so he also began to secretly store grain. Unfortunately, most of the villagers have sold out all the food they have for the winter because they are greedy for higher food prices than in previous years. As a result, due to the flood the following year, the villagers could not grow crops at all, let alone go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and other usable plants, which was purely looking for death.

Therefore, Bai Cuicui now plans to dig a secret cellar leading to the backyard in the bedroom to store food and other things, after all, sometimes natural disasters bring more **, and those who are cornered are sometimes much more dangerous than anything. In fact, Bai Cuicui originally planned to dig a cellar under the bedroom, but unfortunately when the house was built, the ground was too solid and it was difficult to dig it at all. So I had to settle for the next best thing.

Well, and the fence wall outside must also be replaced with dirt, otherwise what can those few bamboo whips stick there? It just so happened that she didn't want anyone else to know about digging the cellar, but the excavated soil needed to find a place to dispose of it. So this thing of building the outer wall will satisfy the whereabouts of those sandy soils, as long as Bai Cuicui and Han Jingsheng go outside to pick up a few loads of clay and come back, who can see if they secretly mix the original soil into it? No matter what, in this way, the two of them have a lot more work. The jam needed for this Juyuan Restaurant still has to be made in a hurry, and at the same time, the matter of digging the cellar and building the earthen wall cannot be put down, and there is no way to entrust these things to others.

After thinking about it, Bai Cuicui and the two had to spend some wages to ask Aunt Guo and some honest women to wash and chop the fruits first, put them on the bamboo plaque and drain the water one by one, and the rest of the project Bai Cuicui and Han Jingsheng were completed separately, so that they could save some time and energy. At night, they spent another hour or two stretching the small hole dug in the bedroom into the backyard. Then the earth was piled up in the front yard where the soil was put during the day, and the new clay was mixed again tomorrow and rammed into the outer wall, and under this action, the outer earthen wall was really built two or three meters high and ten meters wide in more than a month, and some water chestnut sharp stones were inserted at the top of Bai Cuicui who had picked up and got back from the river, and this defensive measure was still very useful.

At the very least, it will take some effort for some people with luck and crooked minds to get in. After all, since Bai Cuicui started the jam business, the Bai family has not been less here, either playing the family card or pointing at her nose and cursing her, but there has been trouble four or five times in a month. This Han Jingsheng is better at home, but he is a big man, doesn't he always have to take care of the crops in the field? And his carpenter's work can't be lost just because he has a jam business. No matter how small this mosquito is, it is still meat, not to mention that they don't take advantage of the good times to earn more money, if they fall next year, no, as long as this autumn passes, this day will change. That's what you just want to earn.

Fortunately, after this period of sleepless hard work, Bai Cuicui's envisioned cellar was finally completed. However, because Bai Cuicui was afraid that it would collapse, after all, the time was too rushed, and the cellar in the ordinary people's house was not for a year and a half. So Bai Cuicui didn't dare to dig too high, about a meter high, so Bai Cuicui had to put a pillar every few steps to support it, and then use a wooden board on the upper part of the cellar. So now it's Bai Cuicui, a woman's house, and if she wants to go in, she has to half-bend over. However, the space in the cellar is quite large, about the capacity of a room. Bai Cuicui divided it into three areas, the left side was all grain, and the right side was put some cabbage, radish, dried vegetables and other things to preserve. As for the innermost position, she hadn't thought about it yet, so she left it empty first and put other things later. For example, something important is silver.

After preparing these matters, Bai Cuicui breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Han Jingsheng never expressed dissatisfaction with her approach from beginning to end. Although her explanation is that the cunning rabbit still has three holes, they are all small households, they all rely on God to reward food, and they always have to keep a hand, since their family is better off than everyone else, why not fully prepare if they have this ability? - Anyway, Bai Cuicui's central idea is one: she wants to dig a cellar to store grain, so that she can feel a sense of security in her heart.

But in fact, even Bai Cuicui couldn't listen to these words, but he just stubbornly talked nonsense, but he didn't expect that he Han Jingsheng didn't even have a question. He said that he would work whenever he wanted. With that unhesitating look of trust, Bai Cuicui almost didn't cry. It is actually very difficult for this person to meet a person who trusts him unreservedly in his life, so in today's life, although there are no modern facilities such as computers and air conditioners, she is still willing to eat.

It is worth saying that ten days ago, Wang Qiaoyu and those people moved to an old house not far from him. even invited the couple to a housewarming banquet. But maybe this novel is really because of his own intervention, and this An Zimojing's own observation is very different from the description in the book. I heard that a while ago, his cousin wanted to frame An Zimo because of her secret marriage with someone, and the matter of wanting to frame An Zimo was accidentally exposed. So this Yao Qianqian didn't hurt people, but it was known by people with a heart, it turned out that what she had in her stomach was actually planted by a big family in the county. Now this An Zimo's cousin is having a good time with the lady of the Ma family. said that she had to let Ma Mingchu admit her into the door, otherwise she would commit suicide with the child. It's a pity that the lady in the main house of the Ma family is not easy to mess with, so she contacted the elders in the village and asked them to dip Yao Qianqian in the pig cage in the name of not abiding by women's morality. Fortunately, this matter was stopped by Ma Mingchu.

However, everyone said that An Zimo was affectionate and righteous, and he originally wanted to find a good home for his cousin, but he didn't expect to be bitten by those black-hearted people instead. Moreover, some people speculate that the matter in An Zimo's right hand may be related to his cousin and the surname Ma, after all, that Ma is just a small boy at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, where can he compare to An Zimo's ability to take the exam? What's more, it is said that the eldest man in the county was originally very optimistic about An Zimo, saying that he would recommend him to his mentor. didn't expect that the last thing would be like this, An Zimo's career was hopeless, and that little boy Ma Mingchu became the county lord's guest. If there is no one in this, they will not believe it.

Anyway, this is the end of the trouble, An Zimo not only has no fault but has become a victim, and those "harmful" people are finally known. Originally, Bai Cuicui thought that this qiē was too much of a coincidence, although most of the rumors in the village were true, but it was this that was very strange, had they seen it with their own eyes and how could they know so much? What's more, since you know what you did earlier? Didn't they all say that An Zimo was a nerd and had no ability other than reading, and now he has no career path, which is simply useless. Why did this become a "Bole" where they are all discerning heroes? And if Bai Cuicui hadn't read this novel at the beginning, how could she have known. So she originally wondered if it would be Wang Qiaoyu who instigated these things in the name of the village in order to clear An Zimo's suspicions, and at the same time to "gild" him. But now that I think about it, I think it's unlikely, after all, according to the progress of the book at this time, Wang Qiaoyu is only in a cooperative relationship with An Zimo at all, so why would she bother to do so many things for him thanklessly? Judging from the character settings in the novel, this Wang Qiaoyu is not a helpful master. So is it really all a coincidence? No, there must be someone behind this qiē, could it be An Zimo himself?

After all, according to the final beneficiary, he is the most suspicious one, but isn't he deeply rooted in his love for his White Lotus cousin, how can he suddenly say that he will change his mind? Could it be that he also failed to cross over?
