I'm sorry I didn't finish it, I'll update it in an hour, let's sleep first, and I'll read it tomorrow.

Li Jingfu's words were not high, but Qiao Ximei's face instantly became ugly. The original energetic and joyful energy suddenly disappeared.

Even the joy of the children returning to their side cannot offset the pain caused by the words "famine".

Qiao Ximei stopped kneading her dough, straightened up, took a wet rag, and wiped her hands:

"Will there be a famine this year? How accurate is that? ”

Li Jingfu sullenly raised the rod of the cigarette pouch, took a puff of cigarette, and exhaled a long puff of smoke. His sad countenance was smoked by the smoke, and it was even more miserable:

"Whew...... Actually, I'm not sure.

But now it's almost May, and the weather is so abnormal.

That's not a good sign!

Moreover, if this batch of seedlings freezes to death, it is already at this time, and even if you hurry up and replant, it will be too late.

If only the rest of the weather had been smooth.

But in this celestial climate, how can there be such a satisfying time?

I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm just afraid of what happens.

In case of a few more small disasters, the reduction of production is inevitable, and maybe, there will be no harvest! ”

Li Yunxin listened, only to feel that something very important seemed to flash in his mind, but he didn't catch it for a while.

Qiao Ximei's face was already very solemn, but she quickly thought of a countermeasure:

"Is it so serious?

So, let's start preparing from now on! I'll go to the town tomorrow to buy food.

In the future, every time we go back to the market, we have to buy some durable food back.

It is not limited to new grain and old grain, anyway, if you can stock up a little more, you can stock up on a little more. Ants save up as if they move, and they add up to a lot.

In case you really say it, we don't have to worry about running out of rice to get into the pot. ”

"By the way, isn't the boss still in the town's grain store? It must be convenient for him to buy food. In the future, just let him come back once a month! ”

Li Jingfu's miserable appearance did not lessen, but instead glanced at Qiao Ximei suspiciously, and blurted out questioning words:

"Where do we have the money to buy food? Didn't we spend all the money we had in order to pay for this military service? also borrowed a sum from the little lady of the old man's family? ”

Qiao Ximei smiled:

"Hey, what are the origins of this family in Shantun, don't you know in your heart?

If he saw that we didn't hurt our muscles and didn't move our bones, I would have taken out such a large sum of silver. Then our yard should be lively at night! ”

Li Jingfu suddenly realized:

"Your 'dowry', is there still anything left?"

Qiao Ximei smiled and nodded:

"Is there too much, it's still enough for our family to chew."

The sad look on Li Jingfu's face suddenly disappeared for the most part:

"Little sister, I really haven't seen a woman who knows how to live a better life than you!"

This straightforward praise made Qiao Ximei's cheeks instantly stained with two shy flushes.

However, in her smile, there was obviously a little more self-satisfaction:

"Since we know that there will be a famine this year, we have to prepare first, and we have to store some food at home.

I have food in my hands, and I don't panic in my heart!

Otherwise, the price of food will go up, and we don't have so much silver, won't we be blind? ”

Li Jingfu said with emotion:

"Little sister, you're right, I listen to you!"

Qiao Ximei looked at Li Jingfu with a smile, and completely forgot that there was a Li Yunxin in the room:

"We can't be too public.

Relatives and friends, you can tell them and give them a wake-up call.

But we must not disclose our situation, let alone let people know that we have money in hand, nor can we let people know how much food we have hoarded. Even these people in the family, it's better not to let them know.

By the way, can we still use that old cellar? ”

Li Yunxin: ......

"I'm so big standing here alone, can't you see it all the time?"

But she only dared to mutter in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it.

In fact, the old lady forgot that she was the best, so she didn't have to practice the skills of listening to the roots of the wall in order to know some news.

Li Jingfu also looked at Qiao Ximei with affection as if he hadn't seen Li Yunxin:

"Cheng, I will listen to you. Our old cellar is sealed, but it can be used as long as the cover is removed. ”

Qiao Ximei shook her head:

"It's still not very safe. It would be better to have a more secluded place to store food than the old cellar. And you have to guard against rats. Alas, in two days, let's order a few vats with Sister Mei's in-laws! ”

The two of them spoke enthusiastically, and in a few words, they finalized the strategy of buying food.

It seems that the old couple will not remember that they are here in a short time......

Li Yunxin didn't know what kind of expression he should make at this moment.

Forget it, don't disturb people here.

Li Yunxin gently placed the water scoop on the table, turned around, stood on tiptoe, and planned to evacuate quietly.

"Sister Xin, why are you going?"

Evacuation failed.

Li Yunxin couldn't help but complain wildly in his heart:

"How can you see me again now? You're the second elder, this is the vision of a frog, right? ”

Li Yunxin turned back and smiled embarrassedly at the old couple: "I don't want to disturb your second elder......

Qiao Ximei pointed to the basin:

"Take this to the big kitchen, cover it with a damp cloth, and put it in the first compartment of the bowl shelf. I'll give you some noodles to eat. ”

"Okay!"

Li Yunxin happily responded, hugged the basin, and evacuated decisively.

As soon as she took a few steps, Li Yunxin suddenly remembered what the thought that had flashed through her mind before!

Seedling!

However, the process of raising seedlings is not simple.

It seems that if you want to build a greenhouse, you have to use something called seedling substrate.

By planting seeds on the seedling substrate, seedlings with well-developed roots and strong roots can be cultivated in advance, and then planted in the ground......

It's a pity that whether it's a plastic greenhouse or a seedling substrate, it can't be finished this year.

However, the principle here should be the same.

Greenhouses are mainly used to control temperature and light.

If you don't have a greenhouse, you should be able to take a container such as a wooden box, fill it with soil, and do it indoors with a certain temperature guarantee like planting flowers and vegetables on the balcony.

There is no seedling substrate, you can try this by yourself, use some soil, with some fertilizer, and catch a few earthworms and put them inside, probably it's about the same.

Although it can't compare to those majors in the previous life, it is worth giving it a try on a small scale.

Even if it doesn't work, it's just a few bowls of seeds.

There is no better advantage than planting seeds in the ground and waiting for them to sprout slowly.

If it happens, won't it solve the problem of replanting too late and missing the agricultural time?

Li Yun was very optimistic. Actually, she can't be blamed for this.

After all, in her previous life, she was just a small white-collar worker in a foreign trade company.

The major studied at university and the job after graduation have little to do with agricultural production.

So she only had a vague impression of this.
