"Daddy, we'll go first." Chen Tiezhu said goodbye.

Chen Tiezhu and Wang Guihua went to the town, and Chen Cai also went to the old village chief to inquire about the situation, there are many old people in the village, go and ask, if there is really a natural disaster, you also need to plan early.

Let's hope it's okay, otherwise it would be too unfortunate for the family to suffer such a blow when they were living a good life.

"Old village chief, I've come to see you, there's nothing to do today, I'm here to talk to you." Chen Cai said.

"Isn't this Chen Cai, I think you were a little kid at the beginning, but now you have children and grandchildren, and your grandchildren are married to daughters-in-law, it's really blessed, unlike my family, those juniors are always worrying." The old village chief said.

"The old village chief is too modest, and now the village is in good order under the leadership of the current village chief, and your children and grandchildren are capable." Chen Cai said.

"You're still so amusing when you've grown up. It's not like that kid in my family, who always has a straight face. But you're really just here to talk to me today? The old village chief said.

"I really can't hide anything from you, and I'm here today to ask you something. Recently, I think the weather is a little weird, but I don't have much experience, I don't know if it's my own delusion, so don't I come to the most knowledgeable old village chief in the village to solve the puzzle? Chen Cai said.

"I see. The weather is abnormal, it seems to be a little bit, but there shouldn't be a big problem, the previous drought, not like this, but I can't say, I'll talk to my son, let him inform the villagers to pay attention, it's best to be fine, if there is something, it doesn't matter much. The old village chief said.

"I think so too, our family has not sold any grain this year, except for paying taxes, after all, life can go on now, if there is really a natural disaster, the price of food will not be affordable for us at that time. I remember that our village was not affected much back then, but people starved to death because of the sharp increase in food prices. Chen Cai said.

"What you say makes sense, anyway, it's not cost-effective to sell grain now, just let the villagers keep all the grain, even if it's okay, the price of selling grain will be higher when the green and yellow are not available." The old village chief said.

After discussing with the old village chief for a while, Chen Cai went home, since the old village chief also noticed that the weather was unusual, then there was really a problem, although the weather was abnormal and there would not be natural disasters, but if you don't take precautions, it will be too late to be caught off guard.

On the other side, Chen Tiezhu and Wang Guihua went to the town, first went to the grain store to buy grain, and then went to the cloth village to pull the cloth. I bought some more usual supplies before going back in an ox cart.

This time they bought a lot of grain, enough for the family to eat for a year, because when Chen Tiezhu was on the street, he heard the merchants talk about the locust plague in several villages in the next town, and the drought problem in the distance, so it seems that even if there is no disaster here, the price of grain may rise, and while the price has not risen yet, buy more, otherwise, when the price rises, the same amount of money will buy less grain.

The news he got this time was very important, so Chen Tiezhu hurried home to report the situation to his father, and asked his brother's family to buy some food for later.

When he returned home, Chen Tiezhu naturally reported the news he heard, but because it was not strict and far away, the food bought by the eldest and second uncle's family was not too much, and it was almost enough to eat for a year, plus the grain that had not been sold, the grain reserve had arrived.

I don't know how the old village chief publicized it, anyway, now it's time to go up the mountain to gather and hunt, and the villagers have started another harvest.

Chen Yu has also slaughtered several pigs and cows in the space these days, and made a lot of beef jerky, bacon, sauce meat, sausages and so on. In the original world, Chen Yu's mother would do these every year, and Chen Yu would also do it, so she was familiar with the process of making zuò, and the finished product was also good.

When I came to this world, I didn't seem to see any family making these, but every family can't eat much meat every year, so where does the meat come from to make these, and you need to have materials to make these, right?

This time during the hunting, one of the people in the village was accidentally injured by a wild boar, but fortunately he dodged it and did not hurt the vital point, but he still broke his muscles and bones, and he needed to recuperate in bed for a while. Although he knew that it was dangerous to go hunting, when someone was really injured, Chen Yu realized that people in this world lived a difficult life.

Who wants to risk hunting if they weren't too poor. This time, Chen Yu did not follow him up the mountain, but took his younger brother at home.

Therefore, when the wounded were carried back to the village, my father and mother came back to talk about it. Because Chen Wei was injured, the village shared an extra amount of money as medicine money, and no one in the village objected, after all, no one could say whether he would be injured next time.

Chen Wei's leg was seen by the old man Chen at the end of the village, although the old man Chen is old, but he knows a little pharmacology, whoever has a headache and fever in the village, if he is not strict, he will not go to the doctor at all, just go directly to the old man Chen to get the medicine decoction and drink it.

For the bandaging problem, Old Man Chen is even more adept, every time he hunts, if anyone is injured, Old Man Chen will solve it.

It was also the first time that Chen Yu heard that there were still people in his village who knew medicine, although it was only the skin, but it was better than himself. Hearing about this, Chen Yu secretly decided to go to Old Man Chen for advice when he was free, at least recognize some medicinal materials, after all, Chen Yu knew too few medicinal materials.

It's about to be winter again, and it looks like it's another cold winter, and although there is hardly any snow this winter, it's still very cold. In winter, everyone stays at home and rarely goes out, after all, everyone doesn't have many cotton jackets, basically just one per person, and it won't be what happens if there is a kang at home, and it is easy to be frostbitten when you go out.

The cloth bought by Chen Yu's mother has been sewn into cotton clothes, because she made money, Chen Yu's mother also generously made a dress for each person, brand new clothes, and the family wore them during the New Year, which was very warm.

In the cold winter, the whole village falls silent, and when the spring flowers bloom, it comes back to life. The spring planting began, and the whole village was busy. Because the Chen family has cattle, they don't need manpower to cultivate the land when they cultivate the land, which saves a lot of effort, and of course it is a lot faster than in previous years.

Thinking that last year's rain was scarce, and this year's rain did not rain much, so the Chen family planted drought-tolerant grain this year, so they planted more sorghum and corn. If there is a real drought, it will not be without a harvest.
