Chapter 96: I'm the Best Mother-in-law (Bad News)
The two parties arrived at the agreed place smoothly and on time.
Seeing that there were always shop guys sending things over, Liu Zhenghe was surprised: "Mother, why did you suddenly buy so many things?" ”
"Yes, you can cover up your things and go first, and I'll take them back in someone else's car." Liu Ye was also worried that the old cow would be brought down.
Watching Liu Zhenghe walk for a while, Liu Ye found a smooth car, and the three Liu Ye paid the fare in front of everyone in order to avoid other people's gossip, and they only paid eight cents in total, and they were able to get to the entrance of the village.
Of course, there are also children who are dissatisfied with her approach, after all, their children have not paid.
But Liu Ye let the two children sit inside near the coachman, and sat outside them to block them.
Along the way, Liu Ye basically didn't speak, whatever they said in the car, just as if they were listening to the village news.
Just listening to it, I don't think it's right.
Liu Ye couldn't help but interject and asked: "Several villages near here are close to the Surabaya River, and there are streams that flow down from other mountain ranges, how can you listen to your meaning that the harvest will not be more than seventy percent of previous years?" ”
You must know that grain is the lifeblood of farmers and the foundation of a country's stability.
Lack of harvest and less harvest is a big deal whether it is up or down.
"Hey, although I don't have your rich days, but I can see at a glance how the harvest is in the field." An old woman who had never stopped her mouth all the way said proudly: "Don't look at the rice ears in the rice field now, the growth of the rice ears is good, but at this time in previous years, you can see that there is no fat and strong in previous years." ”
The coachman also sighed: "The old lady's eyes are still poisonous, and you have already seen this." This is because we are close to the river, and we will not let the crops run out of water if we are diligent in carrying water. I've heard that other places farther away can't pick up water if they want to. ”
"yes, it's hard."
"I just hope that I can get more food now."
"Who doesn't want to, I'm afraid that there will be a real drought, and those who have no harvest will flee to our side."
……
Liu Ye didn't say much except for instructing the two little ones to sit down, thinking in his heart that since this side is diligent and will not be short of water, and it can also cause a lower harvest than in previous years, I am afraid that it is more of a seed problem.
The rice seeds are kept by themselves every year, or they are bought uniformly, Ji Yuelan's memory is carefully flipped through, but there are really them.
In the first two years after she got married, she kept her own seeds and then bred them herself, and the quality of the harvest at that time depended on the ability of each family.
Later, someone in the imperial court improved the seeds, and the rice grown could be at most double than the usual home-grown rice, and the worse could be five or six layers more.
In this way, the seeds were purchased from the imperial court, and then transferred to the imperial merchants to take over.
Although the Zhou family is not an imperial merchant, they also have some way, at least they are still responsible for supplying rice seeds to a county here.
Is Liu Meimei going to encounter this kind of thing in the first year of marriage?
Will you be angry?
On the issue of social welfare and people's livelihood, the imperial court has always made mistakes and never let go.
asked in his heart: "Ninth Five, do you still have a way to find out who is behind the crooked brain of the rice seeds?" ”
"There's no good way, after all, you can't do without it. It's a lot of energy for me to change my body. ”
Belch......
So you should have just let the sparrow lose weight instead of letting you give up.
"I'll write a letter to ask the third brother to pay attention to it in the capital, and let the Zhou family check whether it is caused by the greed of the Zhou family."
After setting the tone, Liu Ye no longer cares, anyway, she is not the head of a county, why is she so lenient.
Anyway, judging from Ji Yuelan's memory, his family has not been affected much.
Or maybe it had an impact that she didn't have the heart to pay attention to at the time.
"Grandma, I'm going to eat too, I'm going to eat too." A little boy pestered his grandmother and pointed at Liu Jing'an, the brother and sister kept yelling.
The other people on the ox cart should also have fun, anyway, there are many such little babies in the countryside. There is no snack to eat on weekdays, watching others eat sugar and gluttony, the sensible is secretly swallowing saliva, and the ignorant are as noisy as this baby.
The grandmother glanced at Liu Jing'an's brother and sister dissatisfiedly, and then comforted her precious grandson: "Wait until you go home, grandma will make something to eat for you." ”
"I don't want it, I'm going to eat their sugar."
Then his grandmother actually said to Liu Jing'an: "If you have a lot of sugar in your hands, give one to my grandson." ”
Liu Jingen snorted: "No." ”
"Why are you so ignorant little girl, don't you still have it in your hand, what's wrong with giving my grandson a piece to eat."
"I won't give it." Liu Jingen stuffed the sugar into her mouth.
Wow wow wow......
The little boy was directly angry with her behavior and cried, crying and scolding: "You money-loser didn't give me candy, you ate it yourself, I'll kill you!" ”
As he spoke, he was about to pounce on his grandmother and hit Liu Jingen.
Liu Jingan immediately protected her sister behind her.
Liu Ye was about to be laughed at by their ancestors and grandchildren: "My family's candy is just thrown away and thrown to the dog, don't you want to take advantage!" You dare to say that my baby granddaughter is a money-loser, do you have the money to lose?! ”
"Hey, how do you talk, you, my grandson said what's wrong with losing money, isn't the little girl just losing money, can you still say wrong."
"I don't know what to do! Did my granddaughter eat your rice or drink your water, or did she spend a copper on you?! I don't have a lot of ability, I can't even afford a candy, I can't even afford a seat for your grandson, and my tone is not small. Liu Ye slapped the little boy who pounced on him.
"If you don't beat you to death!"
"Hey, hey, this is going to kill our grandparents and grandchildren, is there any heavenly reason......" The old woman directly began to roll and sprinkle at home, forgetting that she was riding in an ox cart, and suddenly fell off the car.
Her little grandson was clever enough to pull the man sitting next to her, and almost took him out of the car and fell.
The man was kind-hearted and didn't leave the child in the car to reunite with his grandmother, but he didn't let him pull it.
There were other people on the ox cart, and the coachman was helpless, so he had to stop and check, he knew that he would not do this old shrew's business, but he was embarrassed to refuse in the village, and he had confiscated her money, but now it was like this.
Seeing that she slipped up from the ground, the coachman said: "What are you doing, grandmother, don't you want to take a ride, don't you want to take a ride." I'll put your grandson down now, it's not far from the village anyway, and you can walk back by yourself." ”
Before she could speak, the coachman had neatly carried her grandson in front of her and put him down.
