"Xiaojia, I have to listen to you, our family has hoarded a lot of food, look at this day, this year is over!"

When Gu Jia returned home, Jin Lao Er said to her with a happy face.

"At that time in April, many people were still holding a fluke mentality, when the time came, the next plant, but I didn't expect May and June, seeing that the weather was getting hot, and the water was getting less and less, and they all panicked."

Recently, many people went to the town to buy some food to put home, but they were shocked to find that the price of food had risen to the point that they could not afford it.

"To be honest, I don't want a drought, after all, not everyone can do what we say and stock up on food."

Gu Jia smiled bitterly, after notifying the family, the neighbors, Gu Jia also let them talk a little, but they didn't take it seriously at all, they just felt alarmist.

Now, one by one, they believe it, but it's too late, it's already drought, and it's useless to say anything.

"I heard...... I heard that there was a locust plague in some places. After hesitating for a moment, Jin Lao Er spoke again.

"A plague of locusts?" Gu Jia was stunned, this was something she didn't expect.

In the past, I had heard of locust plagues, and black clouds were overwhelming, and once a piece passed, all the crops, plants and trees would be eaten up in an instant.

This is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that the number of those locusts will increase more and more, and in the end, there will be no food left.

Drought and locust plague, this is not a trivial matter, Gu Jia frowned, but he was not very worried in his heart.

If you really want to talk about worry, you are also worried about drought, not about locust plague.

You must know that Gu Jia is from modern times, and in the Great Heavenly Empire, in addition to the cottages being very powerful, the ability of the people of the Great Heavenly Empire to eat is also very strong.

Some places also catch locusts to eat.

She once saw a joke on the Internet, saying that it was a disaster for oysters in a certain country, and the local situation was gloomy, and the picture was uploaded to the Internet, and many people reprinted it one after another, laughing that they wanted to make oysters become several levels of protected animals, and the people of the Great Celestial Empire could bring their own spices to help eat them.

Therefore, if there is a locust plague, I am not afraid, there is no food to eat in the drought, and the locusts are dealt with, but they are very fragrant, these are all meat, and they are more hungry than eating food.

"Second uncle, do you know where the locust plague is?" Gu Jia is in the town, and he really hasn't heard such rumors.

"I don't know, I don't know if it's true or not, but someone is talking about it anyway."

Jin Lao Er thought about it and shook his head.

"In this way, that's okay, I came back this time to discuss with my family, and now the situation, our family has also seen it, the food is enough to eat, but what about the water?"

Under the drought, the water level of the well water is constantly decreasing, and after a while, there may be food to eat, but no water to drink, which is a big problem.

"We have also thought about this, but we have no tricks, we can only hope that God will be gracious and it will rain sooner, otherwise...... Ay! ”

Adults are okay to say, how are children doing? What's more, at the moment, the Liu family is still pregnant, and it seems that birth is not far away.

"Cheng, I'll keep this matter in mind, and I'll think about it later."

Gu Jia nodded, indeed, this thing is quite unsuccessful, the villages around here are all like this, there is no water in one place, and there is no water in other places.

"As for the water, it's actually okay, I remember that there is an old well on the mountain, and I don't know who has lived there in the past, I heard that there has never been a shortage of water, and tomorrow, you go with the boss to see, if there is, bring some water back."

Liu's age is older and knows more than Jin Lao Da and Jin Lao Er.

"It's not too far from our house, and if there is water, we won't have to worry about anything."

Because seeing that this year is not good, the Jin family did not plant seeds in the ground at all, at most they cleaned up the land and didn't let the land become barren.

If there is really a drought and there is no food to eat, the food at home must be enough, even if drinking water is a big problem, there will be a locust plague, and the Jin family is not afraid.

"Cheng, I'll go with my eldest brother to see tomorrow." Jin Lao Er nodded, he hoped to have a well, in that case, when the time comes, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"There is another one, my aunt's month is old, and she is about to give birth, so I should find someone to find someone quickly, and I said it in advance, don't be uncontactable at that time, it won't work."

Liu's age is not too young in this era, and her pregnancy this time is indeed dangerous, especially at this juncture.

"Yes, this is serious, when you come back from the mountain, boss, you run a few more times, it's a big deal, let's give us more things."

Liu nodded, looked at Boss Jin, and said that she had thought of this matter before.

"Nothing else, it's nothing, I've been in town lately, it's fine, it's better not to look for me."

Shopkeeper Zhao hasn't solved it yet, he's not a good person, if the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry and attacks his family, it will be bad.

"Okay, we're not going to the town to cause trouble for you." Boss Jin didn't think much about it, but it was the second brother of Jin who glanced at Gu Jia several times.

After saying a few more words, Gu Jia followed the Jin family and went back to the house together.

The little cow baby is already quite big, has learned to turn over, and has learned to sit, but it can't climb yet.

After all, it's only been a few months, and I'm not in a hurry, when I saw Gu Jia, he said twice, I don't know if he recognized Gu Jia.

"This little thing, you still recognize people!" Gu Jia didn't come back much, and every time he came back, he would only stay for a day or two before returning to the town.

The last time I came back, it was a month ago, and at that time, Xiao Niuwa had already recognized people, and Gu Jia played with him for a while.

"It shows that my brother is smart." Gu Jia smiled and spoke, went to the side of the kang, and reached out to tease the little cow baby.

"Xiaojia, are you in the house?" Outside the house, Jin Laoer's voice came, what Gu Jia said just now, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he still wanted to ask in person to be able to rest assured.

Gu Jia answered, came out of the house, and Jin Lao Er took her to stand at the gate of the courtyard.

"Xiaojia, you told your uncle, did you encounter any trouble in the town?"

With a concerned expression, Jin Lao Er asked Gu Jia, "Don't you want to lie to me, I listened to what you said just now, there must be something." ”

"Uncle, it's actually nothing, it's a little trouble, but with the shopkeeper Tong, you can rest assured."

"I don't let you go, one is that there is a drought now, anything can happen, or be down-to-earth at home, and second, I don't want trouble to take the initiative to find the door, I was still in the town before, and I saw the people of the Gu family, I don't want to let the people of our family have anything to do with them."

Half-truths and half-truths, what shouldn't be said, Gu Jia didn't say a word.

Jin Lao Er stared at her for a while and nodded.

"That's okay, you have a little sense of proportion in your own heart, if there is something really wrong, remember to tell your family, your family is your backing."
