Ye Zhengxing was resentful, but he didn't show a trace on the surface, and said with a well-behaved and sensible smile: "Father, one or two pieces of silver are enough." ”

"I discussed with Erlang and them, go to the county seat five days in advance, rent a car and live in a hotel plus eat, maybe it won't be so much!"

Why did the eldest brother go to the exam at the beginning, and it was seven or eight taels of silver at a time, but when he came here, it was only one tael?

Obviously, there is still a lot of silver at home!

If you add the six acres of land returned by the second brother and the 100 taels of dowry from the niece, there is no problem at all with a few taels of silver!

You're the eccentric big brother!

Ye Fang frowned and fell silent, is this son hard-hearted? Can you all agree with that?

Before he could think of it, he saw the Zhao family on the other side glaring at him and said, "No, the county seat is so far away, how can you go for five days?" ”

"Didn't you say anything to me about the poor and the rich? Why did it change when it came to the fourth child? I still have silver in my deposit, and I will give at least five taels! ”

Ye Fang glared at her back, and immediately scolded her: "Nonsense, which child did you see going to the exam and giving so much silver?" ”

"The county seat has only one exam, and the two in Fucheng will not be back until more than two months later, and it is not that they will not come back!"

After thinking about it for a while, without waiting for his wife to say anything, he looked at his youngest son again: "Take three taels for you, carefully spend the flowers, and bring back the ones that are not spent." ”

Although the worries in his heart are still there, his wife's words can't be ignored, otherwise, she doesn't know what to do.

When Zhao heard this, she was still a little unhappy, but she pursed her lips, but she didn't say anything, but she made up her mind in her heart, and then quietly gave her son a tael of silver.

"Yes, father." Ye Zhengxing's head lowered slightly, and he responded obediently with a well-behaved face.

..............

A few days have passed in a blink of an eye, and after breakfast that day, Ye Zhengming stood at the door of the main house, looking up at the sun-filled sky, feeling full of worry.

It hasn't rained until now?

This wheat saw that it was time to tassel, how could it be done without rain?

He sighed, turned his head and shouted at Xing Shi in the house, "Son, I'll go and have a look in the field." ”

"Go ahead." Xing, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks in the house, answered.

Suddenly remembered something, a trace of worry appeared on his face, and he said to his daughter beside him: "I don't know if this rain will come down this year." ”

"It all depends on the well water for irrigation, not to mention the effort, and the crops will not grow well, alas, let's say that we have silver in our hands."

"If the grain is really not harvested, you can still spend money to buy it, but what will the other families in the village do?"

Ye Hao sighed for a few breaths and replied, "If that's the case, we have to prepare early." ”

When Ye Zhengming came back at noon, and the family finished eating, Ye Hao immediately said to him: "Father, do you think it will rain in the future on this day this year?" ”

Although Ye Zhengming didn't know why his daughter asked this, he still thought about it seriously and replied: "It's hard to say, in previous years, it was not uncommon for it to rain again after half a month. ”

"But I always feel unsteady in my heart, in case it really doesn't rain, although there is a well, the people in the village can be a little better."

"But how can those who lack labor at home carry water every day? But if you don't water it, the crops won't rise, and alas, it's all difficult! ”

Hearing this, Ye Hao's eyes swept over her mother and brother at the table, and put forward her previous thoughts: "Mother, father, why don't we stock up on some food in advance?" ”

"What are you doing stocking up on food? Our family collected a lot of grain last year, and we bought it from the town from time to time, which is enough to eat! ”

Ye Zhengming didn't think so much for a while, and subconsciously said.

On the contrary, it was Xing and Ye Ming, who heard this, and seemed to understand what Ye Hao meant.

Xing frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "Zhen'er, how much are you going to buy?" ”

If it's just to buy a hundred and ten pounds, my daughter shouldn't have made it a point to bring it up, unless she wants to buy it.... Far more than that.

Ye Hao smiled and didn't answer, but asked, "Mother, how much grain do you think can be stored in our cellar?" ”

Xing's eyes widened slightly: "You... How much do you want to buy? ”

"Fill the cellar and the east transept." Ye Hao said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, Ye Zhengming immediately said in surprise: "Our cellar is not small, and we can put hundreds of stones of grain in it!" ”

"If you add the East Ear Room, at least you can put nearly a thousand stones, what are you buying so much food for? If you want to spend a hundred taels of silver, we can't eat it? ”

Ye Hao said: "Mother, father, just in case, I mean just in case, this year is really a disaster year." ”

"Let's stock up on some food in advance, not only to eat ourselves, but also to help the neighbors, I read that it is written in the book, when it comes to a disaster year, the price of rice will be expensive."

"How many families can't afford to buy food, so they can only sell their land and children, live on wild vegetables and tree bark, and countless people starve to death, mother, didn't you experience that kind of situation back then?"

Ye Zhengming's mood calmed down a little, frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "But.... What if it rains again after that? We buy so much food at once, and before we eat it all, we will spoil it. ”

Ye Hao smiled: "This is also simple, we can sell it to the people in the village, it's really not good, it's cheaper." ”

"At most, it is a loss of dozens of taels of silver, which is regarded as benefiting the neighbors, and it is better than after the incident really happens, we can only watch it."

Although she has never experienced such a thing, she has never eaten pork, and she has never seen a pig run? Those TV series in her previous life, didn't she watch it?

I can still imagine it somewhat, it's not that she is soft-hearted or the Virgin, she just feels that since she has come here.

She has earned so much money at home, and there are so many acquaintances in the village, if she doesn't do something, she can't get over this hurdle in her heart.

Prepare in advance, it's better than if something really happens, and it's better to buy it when the Mi family is expensive.

Xing's expression was in a trance, as if he remembered the days of more than ten years, if at that time, someone could be as kind as his daughter, she.... Won't it be sold?

With so many people in the village, wouldn't they starve to death?

When she came back to her senses, she didn't wait for her husband to say anything, so she nodded and agreed with her daughter's words: "Okay, then let's go buy it tomorrow." ”

"you... Ye Zhengming, who was next to this ....., seemed to want to stop it, but he couldn't think of words of persuasion for a while.

Xing glanced at him and sighed: "It's all from the villagers, our family has money now, we can help if we can, if we really want to move away, we can't help if we want to." ”

Ye Zhengming hesitated for a few breaths, looked at his wife's expression, and finally nodded: "That's okay." ”

When Mu Qingfeng returned in the evening, he learned about it from his subordinates, he thought about it for a while, and soon made a decision.

Waving his hand at Mu Yi beside him, he said, "Tell me to go down ......"
