On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the two families made a lot of money, and the money of this day alone was shaved out of the previous costs, and in the end, the family could still get thirteen taels of silver.

Zheng smiled from ear to ear, and the family had more money, which was more than the money earned on the day of the begging festival!

Du Niangzi is also happy, she has never seen so much silver in front of her.

"It's not too early, let's all go home when we're done!" Shen Shiliu said, it's better to go back to the reunion as soon as possible.

After the two families finished dividing the money, they were ready to go back to their respective homes, Du Xuanmo caught up with Shen Pomegranate at this time, and gave Shen Pomegranate a lantern in his hand.

Shen Shiliu was stunned for a moment and asked, "For me?" ”

Du Xuanmo nodded, with a slight smile on his face, and didn't say anything. Shen Shiliu looked at Du Xuanmo like this, and his little heart fluttered again.

After Du Xuanmo finally had the courage to send the lantern, he turned around and followed Du Niangzi, he was a little shy.

Shen Pomegranate looked at the lantern and it was not big, it was just the size of a slap, but it was painted very beautifully. It is customary for women here to put a lantern on August 15 and make a wish.

"Pomegranate, don't be stunned, let's go!" Shen Shu tugged at the corner of Shen Pomegranate's clothes, and Shen Pomegranate came back to his senses.

The Shen family walked to the village, and the sky gradually darkened, and when they walked to the river, Shen Shimei looked at the lantern in his hand, and asked Shen Shu if he had a fire fold on his body.

"Dad, mother, I'll accompany the pomegranate to put lanterns and go back in a while." Shen Shu said to the Shen family couple.

"Okay, take care of my sister, don't fall into the river." After Zheng finished speaking, he and Shen's father pushed the cart back first.

Shen Pomegranate sat by the river, the weather was getting cooler, and the wind blowing on the river was a little cool. Shen Shu also sat down and handed the fire fold to Shen Pomegranate.

Shen Pomegranate lit the lantern, and the lantern with the firelight looked better.

"Make a wish." Shen Shu said.

Shen Shiliu thought about it, and slowly put the lantern on the water, and when he touched the water, the lantern floated away. Watching the lanterns drift farther and farther, Shen Pomegranate's was also a little too empty.

"What did you wish for?" Shen Shu asked.

Shen Shiliu sighed: "Marriage." "My heart moved a little.

When Shen Shu heard this, he also knew Shen Shimei's state of mind, what girl could not like a humble gentleman like Du Xuanmo?

"Let's go, my father and mother are still worried when I go back." Shen Shu got up after speaking.

Shen Shiliu got up, glanced back at the lantern, and followed Shen Shu back.

As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, the people in the village began to harvest the crops, and the rice planted by the Shen family should also be harvested.

Shen Pomegranate doesn't know how to work in the field, and he can't do anything at home, so he cooks at home. The school had a holiday for the autumn harvest, and Shen Shu also helped, and Shen's father still went to the county seat to sell broth all day long.

"It's going to rain this day!" Shen Shiliu glanced up at the gray sky outside, and hurriedly collected the herbs dried in the yard and the pigweed dried on the roof into the house.

The porridge boiled in the pot, the rice is mixed with millet, and the pie is pasted on the side. There was sauerkraut and duck boiling in the stove next to him, and as soon as the pot was opened, the aroma made Shen pomegranate smell unbearable!

After tasting the soup, it was moderately salty and fragrant, but poor Shen Pomegranate was still losing weight and couldn't eat it.

Since Du Xuanmo gave her the lantern that day, she hasn't been to the county seat for several days. Although she is not very confident in her appearance and figure, Du Xuanmo is really good to her. Even if Du Xuanmo doesn't mean that to her, she is a "weak girl", and it is inevitable that she will think of spring! This is not the time to be sad and feel inferior!

"As long as you lose the fat first, there is no man who can't be flirted!" After Shen Shiliu became ambitious, he continued to circle around the pot.

After Shen Shimei boiled the porridge, he put all the cooked rice into the basket, but halfway through the pack, it began to rain outside.

"It's really going to rain, an autumn rain and a cold!" Shen Shiliu hurriedly went to find the umbrella, but when the umbrella was found, there was a jingling sound outside.

When Shen Shiliu heard this, he hurriedly ran out.

"Oh no, it's hailing!" Shen Pomegranate's face is not good, what the villagers are most afraid of is hail, especially at this time, the crops that have not been harvested in time will definitely be finished!

Shen Shiliu didn't care about delivering food, so he quickly changed into a hat and went to his field.

Zheng took Shen Shu and Liu Zheng to watch the crops in the field being hit by hail, they were all stunned, and caught up with the hail when harvesting, once the ears landed, even if they were blistered, this year's harvest was finished.

"Mother, don't be stunned, grab it, you can collect as much as you can!" Shen Shu hurriedly shouted, it can only be detracted from when it comes to this!

The rest of the people in the fields also came to their senses and hurried to harvest.

Shen Pomegranate also went down to the ground, no matter how he collected it, holding the sickle was cute, and he didn't care if he had been smashed and lodging, and he could collect as much as he could collect if he picked those who hadn't fallen yet.

It didn't take long for the hail to fall, and the kung fu of the three incense sticks stopped, but when it stopped, there were cries around.

The rice and wheat were not recovered much, and the losses were heavy, and the families who planted vegetables were considered to have lost all their money.

Shen Shiliu looked at the people around her, everyone was depressed, and the peasants relied on the sky to eat, and she had a deep understanding at this time.

"Let's take the rest first." Shen Shu said, the rest is considered rotten ground.

Shen Shiliu followed the work, everyone was silent, and the atmosphere could be said to be very depressing.

After a few people returned home, Liu Zheng was also in a low mood, Shen Shimei reheated the meal and served it, and everyone at the table lost their appetite.

"Brother Liu Zheng, let's eat first." After Shen Shiliu finished speaking, he comforted the Zheng family: "Mother, our family is fine, but I can't be hungry this year." "It's hard to talk about other people, let alone a fat year, it's a matter whether you can survive this winter.

Zheng's face was sad, and what Shen Shiliu said was not wrong.

Shen Shimei also had his own worries, and hurriedly asked Shen Shu to follow him to the county seat to find Shen's father.

"Go and buy grain, you can buy as much as you can, and it's best to buy all the amount of the winter!" Shen Pomegranate reacted quickly, they were affected by the disaster here, and other places might also have disasters, so they quickly solved it while the food price was not raised!

Shen Shu took the money and hurriedly went to the county seat, and met Shen's father on the way, but he didn't know that it was raining and hail at home. Everything happened too fast, and the Shen family father and son hurried back to buy food.

Shen Shimei settled the harvest money to Liu Zheng first, and then told Liu Zheng: "It's not good to survive this winter, it's best to go to relatives for a winter if you have relatives." ”

Liu Zheng smiled bitterly: "There is always a way, the village is like this, and the village chief will also deal with it!" ”

Shen Shimei sent Liu Zheng away, and waited at the door for Shen Shu to come back from buying grain, and Zheng's face was so worried that his face was tangled.

"I don't know what's going on with your grandmother." Zheng is worried about his mother's side.

"Mother, don't worry so much about it, I don't know where the disaster is now, maybe my grandmother's house will be fine." Shen Shiliu said.

Zheng couldn't sit still, so he changed his clothes and went out, saying that he would go to Shangyang Village to see first.

"Let's go directly to Xiayang Village and see my aunt's side." Shen Shiliu said, I have seen everything I can see.

Zheng nodded, there are not many of these relatives close, so it's good to take a look.

As soon as Zheng left, Shen Pomegranate was not idle, went to the field, and collected the vegetables from his two ridges. Most of the vegetable leaves were smashed to pieces, and she didn't dislike them, so she took them all back, and kept them to feed the pigs and ducks.

Shen Pomegranate was drying part of the rotten vegetables in the yard, chopping part of it, and mixing duck food.

"I've bought it back!" Shen Shiliu hurriedly went to see it, and there were several bags of grain stacked on the cart.

"I bought 100 catties of rice, 100 catties of white flour, 50 catties of corn ballast, 50 catties of cornmeal, and 50 catties of millet, which should be enough." Father Shen said that their family of four had a normal amount of food, and this hundreds of catties of grain was enough for one winter.

Shen Shiliu nodded, and heard Shen's father say that there was no hail in the county, so his heart was relieved, maybe it was only a local disaster, and there was nothing else to do.

Zheng also came back in a hurry at this time, and the sadness on his face was gone.

"Shangyang Village and Xiayang Village are fine, our village is the one who suffered!" Zheng said.

Shen Shiliu breathed a sigh of relief, and then helped transport the grain back first.

The village was affected by the disaster, the village chief must have come forward, and when the bell of the ancestral hall rang, all the families could hear it, and the villagers slowly gathered in the direction of the ancestral hall. Not long after the ancestral hall was built, I didn't expect that the first time I gathered the villagers was because of such a disaster.

As the head of the village, Hong Datian first said a few words, and the surrounding villages, as far as their village was the most severely affected, now call everyone out, that is, to discuss countermeasures.

"The problem of food, we need to think of our own way first, if the rest is not enough, let's think of other ways, there are also county masters in the county, so we will not ignore us disaster victims." Hong Datian said.

As soon as he heard about the county master, Shen Shimei was actually a little cold in his heart, in ancient times, he relied on his parents, but his parents also had a difference between parents and stepparents. The grandson of the county lord was so arrogant in bullying men and women on the street, it seems that he still often commits crimes, and it seems that he has not seen the county lord come forward to take care of it. There are also a lot of unjust, false and wrongful cases, and the bitter lord has rectified the bad guys. Now that the people are affected by the disaster, with the urine nature of this county master, he may not be able to care.

The Shen family doesn't have to worry about it now, the food matter is already in place, all that remains is to wait a few days to go to the neighboring village to buy some autumn vegetables and throw them in the cellar, there should be no problem this winter.

The villagers are miserable, they have been busy for a year, and there is no harvest, this kind of suffering, Shen Pomegranate now has some experience.

The common people have no way, and they can only do this, and those who have relatives are to borrow money from the grain and get the rations out first.

The big guys were also in a hurry, and after listening to the village chief's words, they hurried to find a way, and the Shen family also returned home.

Shen Shu helped Shen Shimei in the yard to dry all the vegetables and rice that he picked up, so that people could not eat livestock and still make a living.

"Mother, don't worry, our family is not afraid today, and we still have so much savings!" Shen Shiliu said that life still has to go on. She knew that the Zheng family was a little distressed about those grains and vegetables that she couldn't want, but just tangled up with those things, how uncomfortable she felt in her heart!
