Fortunately, the Liu family did not plant much corn, just one acre of land, and no matter how fast they were, they only grabbed half an acre of corn.

The locusts flying in the sky not only pierced the sound of flying, but also many locusts flew down on their bodies, and the two thorny legs on the locusts fell into the body one by one, and the skin of the thorns was painful, and the tender parts of the skin were punctured and bleeding.

The Huang family helped the Liu family stay busy until more than half of the hour, and then they went home.

After returning home, except for Huang Pingcheng, who stayed at home, everyone else was tired and half dead, and the two Huang Congjiang brothers were directly tired and paralyzed on the floor of the hall at home.

Huang Li, Huang Liu, and Huang Jiang were also very tired, leaning back in their chairs and not wanting to speak.

A few small ones were also tired and drowsy, and they didn't even have the appetite to eat.

Even the fourth and seventh brothers took a vacation from the school to help the farmers, and the two of them were tired for two days.

"I've cooked the meal, the water is boiled, you go to rest quickly after eating, Ming'er doesn't have to get up so early, I'll make breakfast for you and keep it for you to eat." Huang Pingcheng also knew that all the big and small people in the family were tired, and he had already helped everyone serve porridge and beckoned everyone to eat.

Tired and tired, hungry and hungry, even the five and sixth sisters, who have always been delicious, are not able to eat, everyone in the Huang family hastily ate porridge, take a bath, go back to their rooms, lie on the bed and fall asleep.

On the second day, I slept until dawn.

I'm afraid that the Huang family was busy and tired yesterday.

The Huang family slept until more than half of the time before waking up.

If Huang Yiyun hadn't heard the noise of scolding and crying outside the house, Huang Yiyun would still be asleep.

"Big sister, you're awake. But I haven't slept well and haven't woken up yet. Huang Pingcheng, who was enjoying the cool in the hall, asked after seeing his eldest sister wake up.

"I was woken up by the sound outside, master, haven't the others woken up yet? What's going on outside. Huang Yiyun asked with a yawn.

"Alas! Take a look for yourself and you'll see. Huang Pingcheng said with an unbearable look on his face.

Huang Yiyun heard the words and walked out to take a look.

Rao is Huang Yiyun has long been prepared in his heart, and seeing the scene outside still shocked Huang Yiyun's heart.

really coped with that sentence, locusts crossed the border, and no grass grows.

Not only was the rice in the paddy fields eaten up, but only a bare stalk was left in the corn planted in the dry land.

The sweet potatoes and potatoes planted in the dry land have all grown seedlings and leaves, and only the sweet potatoes and potatoes buried in the ground are left.

Even, the long weeds and wild flowers on the roadside, and the leaves on some trees were eaten.

The devastation is full of devastation, not a single inch of grass grows, and the drought has cracked the fields one by one, and there is no vitality at all.

"It's ......."

"Our village is good, taking advantage of the two days to harvest some of the grain, the villages and towns around our village are not so lucky, the exposed crops have been eaten up, not half of the harvest, this year, I am afraid that many families will be difficult to survive?" After Huang Pingcheng approached Huang Yiyun's side, he sighed and sighed.

After the rest of the Huang family woke up one after another, after seeing this appearance, they were also stunned in surprise like Huang Yiyun.

"This year, there is a drought and a locust plague, and this year it should be a tax cut!" After Huang Congjiang saw this, he asked with some uncertainty.

"Fortunately, our family settled in our village as refugees, and there is a three-year tax holiday, and our family does not have to pay taxes this year." The second sister suddenly said with some joy.

"Next year, we will have to pay taxes on one acre of paddy field and two acres of dry land?" The third sister didn't know if she was a little worried.

"At least our family can survive this year and next year, my father has already calculated our family's food, as long as we harvest all the sweet potatoes and potatoes planted in the field this year, our family will not have to worry about food for at least five years." Huang Yiyun also knew that after his family fled before, he was also very afraid of being hungry and having no food, so Huang Yiyun hurriedly said.

"Well, yes, don't be afraid, how are our families doing now?" Huang Congjiang glanced at a few small glances, and after seeing that there was no fear or panic on their faces, his heart was also relieved.

The locust incident has passed, and several counties and towns and many villages in Wenfu City have suffered serious losses, most of which are in the realm of countless particles, and suddenly, the people are struggling to make a living.

The price of food has been rising.

June goes, July comes.

There was still no rain, and even if there were no locusts, some of the crops planted in the fields survived, except for the drought-tolerant sweet potatoes and potatoes, and all the other crops died of drought.

The three cities in the vicinity of Wenfu Castle were hit by drought.

The Huang family had stored some water before, and in order to prevent the sweet potatoes and potatoes they planted from drought, they watered some water into the ground every day.

Fortunately, the Huang family dug a pond before, and although the water level is declining due to drought, at least a third of the water can be stored.

In addition to the well in the backyard of the Huang family, which can overflow seven or eight buckets of water every day, the Huang family also stores the excess water for other purposes.

........。

"Zijun, what's wrong with you? Sullen. Huang Yiyun asked when he saw Zijun sitting on the threshold of his house, looking at the sky in a daze.

"I'm afraid my family will have a hard time this year." Zijun came back to his senses and said.

"What's wrong?" Huang Yiyun sat beside her, touched her head and asked.

"Yesterday, the village chief's uncle said that the amount of taxes paid this year has come down, and I heard my father say that the tax paid this year is one-third less than in previous years."

"Isn't it good to have fewer taxes? Why are you still depressed? ”

"The tax has been reduced, which is a good thing, but most of the rice harvested by my family this year has not been filled, and in addition to threshing and hulling, it is good to be able to harvest one and a half stones per acre of land, and almost not a stone.

Pay taxes this year, the grain harvested is not enough to hand in, and the grain harvested in previous years must be pasted upside down, this year's winter in my family, maybe the grain will be cut off, and now the money can't buy food. Zijun was young, wrinkled his face, and sighed.

"Don't worry, it's still early? Maybe there will be a way then. Huang Yiyun said comfortingly.

It's just that this comfort is a little pale.

Now the two cities near Wenfu City have also made a disaster, and the relief food has not yet come down to the small town, not to mention the high price, as soon as it comes, it will be snatched up, and there is no money to buy food, and even some people maliciously put out food and maliciously raise the price.

According to this rhythm, when the new grain comes out next year, I am afraid that this winter, many people will have to eat bran vegetables.
