The last time I went to the town, the village chief noticed that the price of grain had risen a lot, and the price of buying grain from the village had also increased.

His mother-in-law looked red and thought that her family had a lot of food, so she asked him to sell a lot.

Many of the rest of the village were ready to sell some of the grain, and some had already sold it like him.

What can I do now, it's all the fault of this dead woman.

The village chief was anxious, and after Niu Xinzhang left, he couldn't help but blame his mother-in-law.

He said that he would not sell or sell, and he had to say that it was rare that grain could be bought at a high price, so let him sell it.

Ay! What is possible?

Now he has to find a way to buy some food and come back, otherwise the drought is coming, and there are so many mouths in the family, how can he survive?

The king of the cow didn't know when he climbed into the backyard of the village chief's house, leaned on the window and eavesdropped, and was shocked when he heard their words.

Ah! Finished! If it's really like what Brother Xinzhang said, the drought is coming! Then my house is over! The person who bought the grain made an appointment to come and pull the grain this morning.

She was frightened in her heart, and hurriedly ran home desperately, but when she ran home, she found that it had been sold, and her man Niu Xinshu was counting the money.

Seeing his daughter-in-law come back, Niu Xinshu smiled and beckoned.

"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, come and see, this is all money from selling grain, it's really a lot of money, it's much more cost-effective than in previous years."

Suddenly, Niu Wang sat on the ground, his face full of frustration and his head blank.

What can I do? The grain has already been sold, so what will we eat in the future? Isn't that going to starve to death?

When she was a child, she also heard the old people tell the old story, although they had not experienced a major drought, but the old people's descriptions once frightened them into not sleeping at night, for fear that they would fall asleep and be eaten by others.

Her man, Niu Xinshu, looked at her and couldn't help but help her up worriedly.

"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong with you?! Who bullied you? I'll avenge you! I'm going to kill him! ”

"No one bullied me!" Niu Wang cried, "Why did you sell the grain!" How did you sell it! ”

Niu Xinshu wondered, "Didn't we already discuss selling grain?" I also said that I was going to buy the hairpin you fancied. ”

Niu Wang's face was crying, and he slapped his thigh in despair.

"Ouch, you don't know, today I met Brother Xinzhang. You don't know, Xinzhang Ge'er is already a showman, and he was admitted last year, but we don't know. ”

Niu Xinshu's eyes suddenly lit up, "So powerful?" Then we have to let our son learn more from him! Maybe I can take the test and come back! ”

"Hey! That's not the point! Niu Wang shook his head.

When the time comes, I will starve to death, even if I am good at reading, even if I am admitted to Xiucai, what is the use.

"What's wrong with that? You mean! Niu Xinshu frowned.

"I overheard him and the village chief saying that there was a drought this year! However, our family's grain can only last until April at most, and we originally thought that there would be many wild vegetables and fruits in summer, and we would be able to last until after the autumn harvest. What do you say now? ”

"Can't you?" Niu Xinshu shook his head, "Brother Xinzhang, even if he is admitted to Xiucai, he doesn't know how to farm. ”

Niu Wang saw that he didn't believe that he was immediately anxious.

"He doesn't know how to farm, but he can read! Recently, the weather has been getting hotter, and it is written in the books that this is a precursor to a drought! ”

"Is there a mistake?" Niu Xinshu looked at the sky, and had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Can you make a mistake? The village chief told him that he would organize the villagers to dig a pond to store water. Niu Wang told the news he had overheard.

Niu Xinshu heard that the village chief believed Niu Xinzhang's words, and he was immediately afraid.

"So what can I do about it?"

There are six mouths at home, and the grain can only be eaten until summer, and the real drought is coming, but I am afraid that the wild vegetables and fruits on the mountains will not be eaten.

"No! We've got to buy the food back! Niu Wang's suddenly had an idea, and his whole body was full of strength.

"Buy it back? How to buy? ”

Niu Wang said: "I'm afraid that only our village knows about this matter, and other villages haven't gotten the news yet." We quietly disguised ourselves and went to other villages to buy them, and at the price at which we sold the grain, someone would definitely sell it. ”

"Then we're not working for nothing?"

"It's better to work for nothing than to starve to death!"

……

"Xinzhang, you really dreamed of your father, did your father tell me?" Jiang Ru asked.

Niu Xinzhang quietly looked at Jiang Ru and said in his heart: She shouldn't be afraid, right? I'm afraid my dad will reveal her identity!

No way! I can't let her know I've found out who she is!

Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Mother, Dad said to let you take care of your body and don't tire yourself too hard." He also said that he taught me a lesson, that I should not have behaved nonsense before, and that I should be filial to you, listen to you, and stop being the same as before. ”

His tone was so sincere that people couldn't help but trust him.

Jiang Ru nodded and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"This dead old man, he knows that he will give you a dream, why doesn't he know to give me a dream? I haven't seen him in years. ”

said this, but Jiang Ru was muttering in his heart: The bad old man is very bad! If it weren't for the fact that I had designed this dream, I would have believed you.

This scumbag's acting skills are getting better and better, it's amazing.

Niu Xinzhang's lie is coming as soon as he opens his mouth.

"Dad must be afraid that after seeing your mother, it will make you cry. The person he loves the most is you, where is he willing to cry? ”

Scold! Hypocrisy! Jiang Ru wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

The two mothers and sons live in harmony on the surface, but behind their backs, they think very differently.

Sure enough, the village chief quickly summoned the villagers to discuss.

Also present were the clan elders of the village and some very old people.

When everyone heard the village chief's words, they questioned it.

"Village Chief! This drought is not just talk! It's only been a few days since it rained. ”

"Yes, yes, village chief, are you mistaken, how can there be a drought?"

"Village chief, you don't want us to sell grain and deliberately deceive us, right?"

A group of people coaxed, and they were all a little unhappy.

The village chief's head is big.

He didn't want to help these people anymore, and if the drought came, he wouldn't be the one who starved to death.

But he's the village chief! Can't leave it alone!

"You big guys, be quiet! Be quiet! The village chief shouted.

"You've seen the weather lately, it's getting hotter, but it's not raining. How much rain has it rained at this time of year? It's the end of March! It's not raining yet! We all rely on the water of the river for our sowing! ”

One villager retorted: "There is so much water in the river, and you are not afraid!" ”

"Many? Haven't you noticed that the water level in the river has dropped? An old man suddenly stood up and said loudly.

Suddenly, everyone was silent.

"Now there is less water in the river, and if it doesn't rain all the time, the river will dry up sooner or later." The old man is the oldest in the village, now in his eighties, and is the closest person to the last drought.

"But ......"

"No, what we can do now is to stock up on food as much as possible, and we are not afraid of 10,000 just in case! If you don't sell grain, you will make less money at most, but if you sell food, you will starve to death. ”
