Uncle Qing sighed, glanced at the second girl who didn't have a sense of crisis, and replied, "There are still 25,000 catties of grain, 20,000 gold for fine grains, and only 5,000 catties of coarse grains." ”

When Shen Zhong heard this, his brows were almost knotted, the village chief wanted to buy 50,000 catties of coarse grain, and there were only 5,000 catties at home, where would he go to get grain?

Xiao Xia saw that the whole family was sad, and even Xiao Qiu, who was just six years old, was full of joy with a round little face.

Xiaoqiu saw the second sister beckoning to her, and ran to Xiaoxia's side, and the two sisters squeezed a chair and sat together affectionately. Xiaoqiu knew that the second sister in the family had the best way, so she raised her head and asked curiously and distressedly: "Second sister, our family doesn't have so much food, why do you still agree to sell it!" What will we eat after selling our house? ”

Xiao Qiu asked everyone's thoughts, and they all stared at Xiao Xia with their eyes, waiting for her to give an answer.

Xiao Xia rubbed Xiao Qiu's head, smiled slightly, and said to everyone in the family: "You can all rest assured! I'll figure out a way to get the grain, and I'll let the people in the village weigh the grain tomorrow. ”

"The most important thing now is to take advantage of this opportunity, as long as someone sells land, our family will buy it. Uncle Qing, you can walk around when you have time with auspiciousness, no matter which village sells land, let's buy it, preferably in pieces, and this matter will be handed over to you. ”

"Also, if the land in other villages is not so preferential, you can see it. There is only one goal, to collect as much land as possible, and our family will be busy with this year's spring planting. ”

When everyone heard this, they were all excited in their hearts, if they could take advantage of this opportunity to buy more land, then Shen Zhongke would be a veritable big landlord.

Shen Zhong's heart was also not small, but he was more worried, sighed deeply, and looked far away. "Xiao Xia's idea is good, but where did we get so much food?"

"Dad, just give me the food, you can buy the land with confidence."

Shen Zhong still shook his head.

"There may be a big drought this year, and you don't understand it yet. The old people all say that there has been a drought for three years, and once there is a drought, it is likely to be two or three years in a row, and there is no harvest in the fields. ”

Ji Xiang listened to it on the side, and couldn't help but interject, the master's family was so good to them, he couldn't bear to let the master's family's good life take a detour, and he couldn't live it when the time came.

"Second girl, what the master said is right. The drought in our hometown lasted for three consecutive years, and the ground was cracked, and there was no grass to grow, and even wild grass was difficult to find. How much land is directly abandoned, and no one cultivates it at all. ”

Xiao Xia listened and gave Jixiang a big smile.

"Jixiang said well, if there is anything at home in the future, I hope everyone will actively express their thoughts. Although you are subordinates, you are all part of this family, you do a good job, I will consider settling down for you in the future, and live a richer life than ordinary people. ”

Jixiang didn't expect that he opened his mouth without authorization, did not get scolded, and was praised by the second girl, and tears of excitement were about to flow out. Before it came out, I wiped it off with my sleeve.

"Second girl, I ......"

"I know you're saying this for our good, and you're calling everyone here just to listen to everyone's opinions."

"However, I don't think I will tolerate it when I betray my lord for glory." Xiao Xia emphasized this point again, now that the family is small, everyone has one heart. It's hard to say in the future, so let's put the ugly things first.

Uncle Qing and others hurriedly stated that they would put the head of the family first at all times and would do their best.

Xiao Xia nodded with satisfaction and continued the topic just now.

"Don't worry about drought. There is an old saying, if it is determined that the sky wins, it will not rain, and we can dig a well. Last year, two deep wells were drilled in our 50 acres of paddy fields, and two more are being added this year. If there is no water in the field, we can go to the river to find water, in short, the way is for people to come up with, and the opportunity is for those who are prepared. ”

"What is lacking in the family is reliable manpower now, Uncle Qing, if you hire some honest and reliable long-term workers, we will not treat them badly, but they must do things well."

"Yes, second girl." Uncle Qing nodded immediately, now the second girl is very important to herself, and depending on the momentum of the head of the family, it is likely that she will take advantage of this famine to directly become a big family for everyone's great business, if she can do a good job in the past two years, the old man who has accompanied the old man to praise the family business may be the big housekeeper in the future, and then it will be majestic.

Uncle Qing and the others are full of energy, and with the blueprint drawn by Xiao Xia, Shen Zhong's family is also full of energy and hope for the future.

The next day, as soon as the sun rose, there was a knock on the door of Shen Zhong's house.

Aunt Jixiang had already put the rice in the pot and put it on the fire, and the aroma of the rice had just begun to waft out. Jixiang is chopping wood in the yard, Uncle Qing goes to the backyard to take care of the vegetable garden, the weather is warmer, it's time to plant vegetables. Feihua also feeds those chickens, ducks, sheep, cows and pigs in the backyard, and after Chunhua has played a set of boxing techniques, she watches Feihua work, and sometimes she needs her, she helps the handle. Shen Fei had already run around Shenjia Village for a few laps, and his footprints could be found everywhere in the peach forest behind the courtyard.

After Xiao Xia came back from running two laps around the peach forest, he has been squatting and walking. Shen Zhong just got up, looked at the orderly crowd, was in a good mood, hummed a little song and took square steps, with a string of jingling keys hanging from his waist, planning to go to the granary in the backyard first, every morning he had to go to the granary to see the grain, in order to feel at ease.

As soon as Shen Zhong took the key and inserted it into the keyhole, he was interrupted by Ji Ji, who was in a hurry to find him.

"Master, the people in the village have come to transport grain, just outside the gate, what do you think!"

Shen Zhong's hand shook, the lock of the granary just opened, thinking of the villagers outside, Shen Zhong's bright mood just now disappeared again, and he pushed open the door of the granary, thinking that it might be empty today.

And when he pushed open the door, he quickly rubbed his eyes, stared at the warehouse full of grain, and rubbed it again in disbelief.

"What's going on?" Shen Zhong asked Jixiang who was standing behind him stupidly, Jixiang was also dumbfounded, he moved the grain in the warehouse yesterday, how much was left, he remembered it! What's going on?

Shen Zhong didn't wait for an auspicious answer, and waited for Shen Xiaoxia to come.

"Dad, let the villagers move the grain! That's just enough silver for us to dig a well. ”

"This grain?"

"Last night, I had someone send it, but now it's very chaotic outside, so of course you have to be careful when transporting grain." Xiao Xia gave an explanation casually, and he didn't care if Shen Zhong and the others believed it or not, what if they didn't believe it?

Shen Zhong listened to Xiao Xia's explanation, although he had doubts, but now that the problem of food has been solved, the villagers outside are still waiting, waiting for food to eat! The most important thing is to move the food to the villagers as soon as possible.

Breakfast was no longer available, so Shen Zhong took the people of the family and beckoned the villagers to weigh the grain and move the grain. When the villagers looked at Shen Zhong's family's granary full of grain, many tears of excitement flowed out.
