Chapter 137: Drought
Gu Feng leaned in front of Su Jiu'er's lips and tapped it dotingly: "It's enough for us to have Yangyang, it's too dangerous to have a child." ”
Su Jiu'er knew that she was too nervous, she lowered her head in shame, and silently stretched out her hand to hug Gu Feng, she felt that she had to learn to calm down in the future, before she got pregnant, she could still control her mood, but as soon as she was pregnant, she couldn't control herself, "Listen to Xianggong, Xianggong, am I too unreasonable during this time?" ”
I wanted to tell the truth, Gu Feng knew that Su Jiu'er cared too much about the child and her image in front of him, thinking about it like this, Gu Feng felt that Su Jiu'er was very good, unlike the ladies of other people's houses who nagged every day.
It is said that pregnant women have uncertain temperaments, Gu Feng feels that Su Jiu'er is a little abnormal, and it should be.
"Nope." Gu Feng looked at Su Jiu'er in his arms with his eyebrows stretched, and said slowly, "It's good for you to do this." ”
Su Jiu'er breathed a sigh of relief silently, thinking that she couldn't be so foolish in the future, in case Gu Feng got bored of her in the future, then she couldn't find the place to cry.
Su Jiu'er has a lot of milk, and Yang Yang didn't finish it just now, and now her chest is uncomfortable.
At this moment, close to Gu Feng's body, his chest was even more uncomfortable, Su Jiu'er withdrew his hand and took a step back, "Xianggong, it doesn't seem to have rained these days, have you saved water?" ”
"It's been ready for a long time." Gu Feng said this, and glanced at Su Jiu'er with some amazement, "This year is really dry, and since the New Year, there has basically not been a single rain." ”
Gu Feng bought several super large water tanks, all of which were filled with water.
In the spring, the villagers can still use the snow water in the winter, but the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the water in the river is getting less and less, and the crops in the field are simply not enough.
Su Jiu'er leaned on Gu Feng's arms, her eyelids were heavy, and she said in a daze, "Well, that's good." ”
"Last year, the rabbit meat hidden in the cellar of the ancestral hall, the village chief often distributed meat to each family these days, and I heard Aunt Li say that many families have no food." Gu Feng lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of disturbing Yang Yang, who was looking around, "Just count on the village chief to live." ”
"Yes." Su Jiu'er responded in a daze, and her upper eyelids and lower eyelids kept fighting.
Gu Feng looked at Su Jiu'er sleepy like this, and said distressedly, "Sleep." ”
Even when there is no food or drink outside, the Gu family is very moist, and Su Jiu'er is comfortable to sit in this month, except for not being able to take a bath, everything else is very good.
After the confinement passed, Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er gave Aunt Li a tael of silver, all of which were used as Aunt Li's hard work to take care of Su Jiu'er.
Aunt Li originally thought that it would be good to serve Su Jiu'er to get five hundred wen this month, but she didn't expect Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er to be so generous, and she was very grateful to the two of them in her heart, so she told Su Jiu'er about the specific matters of taking care of the child.
Su Jiu'er heard Aunt Li say that, and knew that Aunt Li was really good for her, so she sent Aunt Li out with a smile.
Although there are not many households with food at home due to the drought this year, there are still some families in the town who are still selling meat and vegetables.
This year, they didn't grow vegetables in their yard, and Gu Feng was going to the town to buy vegetables as usual, so he saw that many people in the village were holding vegetables and selling them at the village gate.
It turned out that every household in the village had a lot of vegetables planted in their yards, and although they had to eat vegetables, no matter how much they ate, it was not as good as having enough food.
Many families pondered selling their vegetables and buying some food to eat.
What's more, they can't eat vegetables, they can go to the mountains to pick wild vegetables to eat, and there is no need to eat vegetables from their own yards.
There was no need to go to the town to buy vegetables, Gu Feng was naturally happy, and bought some vegetables to take home directly.
Su Jiu'er sat in the courtyard, holding a pu fan in her hand, and gently fanned Yang Yang in the small bed.
Now it's too hot, Su Jiu'er is afraid that the child will be stuffy in the house, so she can only take him out and sit.
There was movement on the other side of the gate, and Su Jiu'er looked up and saw Gu Feng walking in from outside carrying a basket of vegetables.
"Xianggong?" Su Jiu'er looked at the fresh vegetables in the bamboo basket, with a faint smile on her eyebrows, and asked curiously, "Why is it so fast today?" ”
"I didn't buy it in the town, I bought it from a stall at the entrance of the village." Gu Feng said, put the dishes in the warehouse, patted the dust on his hands, walked to the water tank, asked for a spoonful of water and poured it into the wooden basin, and carefully washed his hands.
"Don't they eat it at home?" Su Jiu'er didn't understand what those people were thinking.
Gu Feng washed his hands, took the towel from Su Jiu'er's hand, and carefully dried his hands, then said, "I guess I want to buy food to eat." ”
Speaking of food, Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er thought of the grain in the cellar of the old mansion.
"When are we going to start selling grain?" Gu Feng raised his eyes to look at Su Jiu'er and asked hesitantly.
"Now everyone can still eat wild vegetables to live, and in the future, there will be no wild vegetables, and then everyone's life will be sad." Su Jiu'er didn't directly say when to sell grain, but Gu Feng couldn't accept it, she said this, she was implying that Gu Feng would sell grain later, so that he could make more money.
Gu Feng naturally understood what Su Jiu'er meant, but he was a little worried, in the future, the food will become less and less, will those people who can't eat riot?
When the government is unable to suppress it, then their food will not be able to hold on at all, and there may be riots.
At this time, they can still make a lot of money by selling the old grain in their hands, and they can also avoid the villagers from rioting against them.
"I'm going to bring the grain over the next few nights." Gu Feng raised his eyes to look at Su Jiu'er and discussed, "After I am busy with these, I will start selling grain." ”
Su Jiu'er is a smart person, how could he not understand what Gu Feng meant, Gu Feng just wanted to sell food as soon as possible, and it was convenient for him to be with others.
"That's Cheng," Su Jiu'er nodded with a smile, "How much is the old grain in the rice shop in the town?" ”
"Last year's new grain was 25 wen per catty, and the old grain was 20 wen per catty." Gu Feng shook his head helplessly, and said with a serious face, "If there is no Hun attack, every household will still have enough food to eat, this time the Huns attacked and snatched a lot of food." ”
Even if the Huns did not attack, the grain in the hands of those people could last until autumn at most; This year's drought has not yielded much grain in the fields, and even if there is a harvest, it is difficult to say whether ordinary people will survive this winter.
"How much money is the prime minister going to make?" Su Jiu'er didn't say the price directly, she just wanted to hear how Gu Feng planned to make a move.
"At the beginning, we collected ten cents per catty." Gu Feng pondered for a moment and said slowly, "I'm thinking about selling eighteen wen per catty, and earning eight wen per catty." ”
Su Jiu'er's eyes lit up, at first she was worried that Gu Feng would be embarrassed to open a high price, but now she doesn't have to worry about it at all.
Eighteen wen per catty is not high, compared to the grain store selling only cheaper than two wen per catty.
"It's good, we can still make some money at this price." Su Jiu'er heard Yangyang's humming sound at the tip of her ears, hurriedly walked to the side of the small bed, carefully picked up Yangyang, and gently patted his back and coaxed, "We should make more money and leave it for our son in the future." ”
The jade pendant around Su Jiu'er's neck was pulled out of her clothes by Yang Yang, and the little thing was still holding the jade pendant with excitement and shaking her hands.
Gu Feng looked at the jade pendant around Su Jiu'er's neck, and suddenly remembered the Zhao family and An Zeqing, and his brows twisted unconsciously.
An Zeqing's concubine turned out to be almost pregnant with Su Jiu'er?
Gu Feng felt that something was wrong at the beginning, but he didn't think about it so much at that time, and only then did he realize that something seemed to be wrong.
"Don't let the little ones grab your jade." Gu Feng said, hurriedly walked to the small bed, took out the rattle inside, and shook the rattle in front of the child.
The rattle swayed from side to side with a crisp sound, which soon attracted Yangyang's attention.
The child's curiosity was extraordinarily great, and he quickly threw away the jade pendant in his hand, and reached out to grab the rattle in Gu Feng's hand.
Gu Feng stuffed the rattle into Yang Yang's hand, reached out and stuffed the jade pendant around Su Jiu'er's neck into his clothes, and said seriously, "Don't expose this in the future, the children in the province will break it for you." ”
"It's out of the way." Su Jiu'er didn't think there was anything here, she looked at Gu Feng with a smile, and said slowly, "Then you should watch more about selling rice, don't be bullied, otherwise our son's money for marrying a daughter-in-law will be gone in the future." ”
Women always think very far, Gu Feng smiled helplessly, as long as Su Jiu'er embroidered a screen, she could sell it for a lot of money, and she didn't have to worry about having no money at home?
Originally, Su Jiu'er pondered about using that batch of grain to force An Zeqing to resign, but now that she thinks about it, she thinks that it is too cheap An Zeqing.
A person like An Zeqing should be with Zhao Xiuer, and such a scumbag and a are a good match.
In the previous life, Su Jiu'er thought that Zhao Xiu'er really loved An Zeqing, but later accidentally bumped into Zhao Xiu'er and a strange man in the garden.
If An Zeqing knew that Zhao Xiuer was with other men, how good should his face be?
It's just that when she died, An Zeqing hadn't found out about Zhao Xiuer's red apricot coming out of the wall.
Su Jiu'er suddenly looked forward to seeing An Zeqing's face, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
"The child is not yet a year old, and now you have all the thoughts on finding a lady for him?" Gu Feng thought that Su Jiu'er was thinking about Yangyang's affairs, and couldn't help but smile and speak.
Hearing Gu Feng say this, Su Jiu'er didn't refute it, just pursed her lips and smiled.
"Knock knock."
There was a knock at the door.
Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er subconsciously looked at the door, and when Su Jiu'er saw Father Su standing at the gate, the expression on his face was slightly stunned, and then his eyebrows and eyes stretched.
"Father-in-law." Gu Feng had a good impression of Father Su, at least Father Su wouldn't dislike him so much.
Father Su put his hands behind his back, walked in slowly, walked in front of Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er, looked at the child in her arms, looked at the child, his eyes lit up, and his voice was gentle: "You were confined a few days ago, and I was not embarrassed to go in, are you feeling better now?" ”
Su Jiu'er raised her eyes to look at Father Su, nodded her head, and heard Gu Feng say that Father Su also sent vegetables over a few days ago: "Dad, sit down, my body is almost fine." ”
Father Su glanced at the door out of the corner of his eyes, pursed his lips slightly, and then looked at Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er with a smile.
The three of them sat at the stone table, Father Su took Yangyang from Su Jiu'er's arms with a smile, looked at the child with eyebrows and smiled, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook, and looked at Gu Feng and Su Jiu'er with a smile, "This child is really good-looking, his nose is like Gu Feng, his eyes are like wine, look at the flesh on this face, he must be a blessing." ”
Su Jiu'er glanced at Gu Feng beside her with a happy face, and inexplicably thought of the Zhao family, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart.
Su's father hugged the child and looked at Su Jiu'er with a gentle smile: "Yangyang is quite heavy, it looks like he eats well, he must grow strong!" ”
"Yes." Su Jiu'er looked at Father Su calmly, and lowered her eyes slightly.
She and Gu Feng didn't do Yangyang's full moon wine, the two of them asked Aunt Li to help make a few more dishes, and the family of three passed Yangyang's full moon.
Father Su took out a longevity lock from his arms, stuffed it into Yangyang's hand, and said with a smile, "I went to the town with your mother a few days ago and asked someone to help with this longevity lock." ”
Su Jiu'er listened to the footsteps coming from the gate of the courtyard, turned her head to look, and when she saw the person coming, the smile on her lips froze, and her expression became more and more serious.
