The drought is getting worse day by day, and even the villagers who are the most picky and reluctant to buy water with money can't bear it one by one, and they still start to pay for water.

Even if the family's domestic water is saved, the water for watering the ground and saving the seedlings must still be guaranteed.

At this time, if you don't pay for water, if the seedlings are drought and die, what will you pay for the field after the autumn? What to take against servitude? What do families eat in winter?

After all the calculations, no matter how painful it is, it is the most cost-effective to pay for water.

Of course, if Master Yu is willing to show kindness, it will be better if he doesn't need money to share some water with everyone.

But Master Yu's water was also bought, and he had to pay for a car to hire someone to transport it. Why are you so big-faced, saying you want it? Why do you have to ask people to give you this water bought with real money as soon as the upper lip touches the lower lip?

Didn't you look at the Li family who opened the tofu shop, who was so close to Master Yu's family, did they all have to pay for water every day?

There was a strange atmosphere in the village, but most of the people were sensible.

Although I paid for it, I can understand what my family did.

With that bright head, after calculating the cost of hiring a car to hire someone to carry water, you can know that the Yu family really didn't make any money from the villagers here, but they didn't pay extra for them.

In fact, the Yu family helped transport water, and also posted freight and manpower, but in fact, they were secretly supplementing them.

For the people in the village, buying water to water the land is not the most worrying thing.

As the drought intensified, the price of grain in the town's grain shops increased again. Not only does the price increase, but it also restricts purchases.

If you want to buy more at a time, people won't sell it. I'm going to have to ask you to come back tomorrow.

When you come back tomorrow, he'll be at a new price.

Qiao Ximei thought about it for a long time, and still added a task to the Wang family, who went to the town every day to set up a stall to sell tofu.

Every day, I collected the stalls, went to the grain shop in the town, and when I saw the right price and the quality of the grain, I bought some back.

Coarse grains are the best, but if you don't have them, you can also buy some fine grains.

It's just that buying grain is buying grain, and try not to make any publicity.

Otherwise, if someone in the village can't open the pot, they come to you to borrow grain, do you borrow it or not?

If you borrow it, when people will return it, there is no time to go.

If you don't borrow, you offend people.

If you work hard, you may not be able to make a reliable friend.

But if you inadvertently offend an individual, you may be stabbed in the back at a critical moment.

Qiao Ximei is strong and stubborn, and she has a bit of fierceness, and she will never back down even a single cent to those who dare to bully her.

But she doesn't like to make enemies for herself in a senseless way.

That night, the oil lamp in Qiao Ximei and Li Jingfu's house, for some reason, was lit for half an hour more than usual.

Early the next morning, Li Jingfu said that he had a very clear dream. I dreamed that my ancestor said that he was not comfortable living in it, and asked him to renovate his ancestral hall well.

The news that the Li family wanted to rebuild the ancestral hall quickly spread throughout the entire backing mountain and flew to Shili Eight Villages.

In fact, it is really a good time to renovate the ancestral hall.

Spring ploughing in spring and autumn harvest in autumn are all critical times when every second counts and must not be missed.

In winter, although the farming is slack, the ground is frozen hard. If you go down with a hoe, you can leave a white spot, and you can't even break the ice on the surface of the ground......

This kind of work such as digging earth and laying bricks is the most suitable for summer.

Qiao Ximei asked people to send messages to Li Tao and Li Mei, asking them to take the time to come home.

Although Li Tao was still a little angry with her mother's family because of Sister Rou's incident last time, she was also a little worried about whether Qiao Ximei would let her be wronged again, but she also vaguely felt that she was too impulsive when she broke up with her mother's family last time.

Since then, her mother's family has not taken care of her.

This time, her mother's family handed her a ladder, so let's seize the opportunity and get off the donkey!

Li Mei had already taken several orders in Li Yunxin's hands, and this time when she heard that her mother's family was looking for her, she naturally came back happily.

Li Huai, who was almost expelled by Li Jingfu, also got a letter from Li Tao and went back to Tun'er.

Because this time, Li Huai didn't mention Sister Zhu'er's family affairs in front of the old couple uninterestingly, and the old couple didn't kick him out.

Seeing that the family was gathered neatly, Li Jingfu knocked on the cigarette bag and pot, and told his dreams and his own plans:

“…… That's the thing, let's talk about it, what do you think? ”

The family looked at each other, and then Li Huai spoke:

"Dad will do what he says."

Li Tao and Li Mei glanced at each other, and Li Yunxin felt that she seemed to see two eyes with electric sparks meeting in the air.

The two looked at each other for a while, then turned their heads and snorted through their noses.

Qiao Ximei didn't have time to pay attention to them, just looked at the children and grandchildren, waiting for them to make a statement.

The second Li Liu has always followed the steps of the boss (except when the boss is beaten), and he also hurriedly expressed his position at this time:

"I listen to my father."

The third Li Song honestly and unceremoniously asked the doubts in the hearts of the big guys:

"It's a good thing to repair the ancestral hall, but our family, do you still have this spare money?

Now the drought is terrible, and our family has to buy water to water the land every day, which is a lot of money. The price of grain is also changing day by day, and sorghum rice is about to rise to the same price as refined white rice at the beginning of the year!

The business of our tofu factory, although it looks pretty good, but the tofu and tofu have all been replaced with beans or something? This can't be used as money! ”

That's right.

Originally, Li Xiyi's village market received very few copper coins. What can be exchanged for it is basically grain, beans, eggs and the like.

And although the Wang family set up a stall in the town, those copper coins have also come back in exchange for food recently.

Li Song and Wang are two people. But if the Wang family knew something, Li Song naturally knew it.

Li Jingfu did not answer this question directly, but only asked:

"You don't have to worry about this, what do you mean, you also support Dad?"

Li Song originally wanted to say that the ancestral hall is not airtight or leaky, what are you doing repairing it!

Dreaming is dreaming, where can it be taken seriously?

But looking at Li Jingfu's expression staring at him, somehow, these two sentences couldn't be spoken.

Li Song nodded with difficulty, and Li Jingfu let him go and continued to see other children and grandchildren.

Li Yu followed and said, "I listen to my father." ”

Li Tong also nodded: "It's time for the ancestral hall to be repaired." ”

Li Yunxin couldn't help but glance at Li Tong when he heard this, and saw him muttering, "I also dreamed last night......

Chen stabbed him gently, and Li Tong shut up.

Li Yunxin saw words popping out of his head:

"I dreamed of a famine and a war...... Everyone in the village died, but only a few children who hid in the ancestral hall survived......"

Li Yunxin's expression suddenly became serious.

She couldn't help but remember that a few days ago, she seemed to have had a dream related to famine and war!

Is this a mere coincidence?

Is this a dream that is made day and night?

Or is it the result of a subconscious analysis?

Or, is it the golden finger that is always ineffective and has no sense of existence, giving himself some kind of warning?
