Hearing Lin Guyu say this, Chi Hang stretched out his hand and rubbed Lin Guyu's shoulder, and responded softly, "En." โ€

It's getting colder.

That morning, when Lin Guyu woke up in a daze, he heard the snow outside.

Slowly getting up, Lin Guyu felt the cold air coming, put on a coat, got off the bed, and ran to the window.

Reaching out to open the window, seeing that the sky and the earth were covered with a layer of white, the corners of Lin Guyu's mouth couldn't help but hook.

Lin Guyu hurriedly ran to the side of the bed and woke up Chi Hang, with a little excitement between his eyebrows, "Brother Chi Hang, you get up quickly, it's snowing." โ€

Every time it snows, Ringu Rain is inexplicably excited.

Chi Hang put on his clothes without hurry, and walked to the window with Lin Guyu.

The window was removed, and a cold wind hit, and everything outside turned white.

Snowflakes fall sporadically from the dark red sky.

"It's still snowing," Lin Guyu said, and glanced at Chi Hang, "It's time to build a snowman." โ€

Chi Hang smiled lightly, every year when it snows, Lin Guyu will do such a thing, he is used to it.

Perhaps the children were also infected by Lin Guyu and were all playing in the yard.

Xu Zixuan and Dousha went to school early, Dong'er and Rice Cake were struggling to roll the big snowball, and Tuanzi was the only one standing in the door looking at everyone with a serious face.

Lin Guyu saw the serious face of the dumpling, walked slowly to the dumpling, reached out and touched the head of the dumpling.

"What are you thinking?" Lin Guyu squatted down and looked at his group seriously, "Are you afraid of the cold?" โ€

Tuanzi shook his head lightly and said with a serious face, "It snowed early this year. โ€

"Yes," Lin Guyu said, curling his lips slightly, and glancing at the sky, "I'm afraid there will be a few more snows this year." โ€

As soon as the words fell, Lin Guyu frowned as if he had thought of something.

Normally it doesn't snow so early, but this year it snows early, and there is a good chance of drought next year.

Of course, these rich families don't have to worry about the draft, after all, the capital is surrounded by rivers outside, so they don't have to worry about draft.

But the farmer has to count on God to reward the face and rain to water the farmer.

If it doesn't rain next year, then next year's harvest will be less, and the Xiongnu in the north will definitely take the opportunity to attack.

When Lin Guyu thought of this, she suddenly felt that she could be the emperor herself, and she would worry about this and that all day long.

However, the snow still has to be saved, not only that, but also in the fields to dig ditches and build reservoirs, and the saved snow water can be used to water the farmers next summer.

"The Master said that if it snows early, there may be a great drought in the coming year." Tuanzi said in a small manner, his brows furrowed, and he looked at Lin Guyu with a serious face, "Mother, what is the big drought?" โ€

Lin Guyu was very surprised when she heard Tuanzi say the previous sentence, but when she heard the latter sentence, she couldn't help laughing.

Reaching out and touching the head of the dumplings, Lin Guyu said calmly, "The big drought is that it doesn't rain much, we don't have water to drink, and farmers have no way to grow crops." โ€

"Isn't there water in the river and water in the well?" Tuanzi looked at Lin Guyu in a daze, and asked in confusion.

"But in times of drought, the river may not be sufficient," Lin Guyu explained simply, "and if the snow is turned into water and stored now, there will be more by then." โ€

Tuanzi nodded as if he didn't understand, and suddenly felt that his mother was so powerful that he understood everything.

"You go play with your sister and sister, don't think about it so much." Lin Guyu didn't want Tuanzi to think about so many things every day, after all, those things were something that adults should worry about.

Lin Guyu got up and walked to Chi Hang's side, sat aside, and said what he had just thought of.

"You mean to build a reservoir?" Chi Hang's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked suspiciously.

"Tell my eldest brother and sister-in-law, let them store more water at home, let's dig a reservoir directly in the backyard, and even if it's dry, don't worry." Lin Guyu wanted everyone to dig a reservoir and store all the snow water in the winter, but who would do such a thing in the winter, after all, the farmers had to rest at this time.

"I'll go back and talk to my eldest brother and sister-in-law." Chi Hang said this, and said with a serious face, "We still have a lot of land in our hands, and when the time comes, we will dig a reservoir in our land, otherwise the dealers in our own land may all die of drought." โ€

"Yes." Lin Guyu replied with a smile.

Chi Hang got up and walked in front of Lin Guyu, lowered his head and imprinted a kiss on her forehead, and whispered in her ear, "Then you rest at home, I'll let people go busy." โ€

"Okay." Lin Gu Yumu watched Chi Hang leave, and then picked up the soup woman on the side and walked outside.

Chi Hang ordered the construction of the reservoir to go down, and found a few people to supervise the work, so that they must complete it before spring.

Guogong's land has more than 4,000 acres, including the land bought by Chi Hang and Lin Guyu with their own money, a total of more than 7,000 acres of land.

With so much land, one reservoir is certainly not enough, and it is certainly enough to build twenty.

Their land is not in the capital, but in Yancheng, which is two days away from the capital, and the land is vast and sparsely populated.

Because Chi Hang gave each person who came to dig the reservoir 200 yuan a day, many people wanted to come in and dig the reservoir for the 200 yuan.

Because it was cold, Lin Guyu took out all the thick clothes that had been prepared early in the morning, and it was snowing outside, so she directly asked people to bake the thick clothes next to the brazier.

It's only November, and by December, I don't know what the cold will look like.

The twelfth day of the lunar month is the day when Xiaoxue gets married, Xiaoxue has no family, and Lin Guyu is busy helping her prepare the dowry.

Lin Guyu counted the dowry to be prepared for Xiaoxue in the house, turned his head to the small painting on the side and discussed, "Xiaohua, do you think there is anything missing?" โ€

Xiaohua looked at the pretended list in his hand and shook his head, "It's all written on the list." โ€

Easily took the list in Xiaohua's hand, Lin Guyu stood in the middle of the eight large boxes and counted them again, looking as if there was really no shortage, and then walked out of the middle of the wooden box.

Sitting lazily on the chaise longue on the side, Lin Guyu put the list on the table next to him, "You go and lock up these wooden boxes, you don't need to count them." โ€

"Yes." The small painting responded and hurriedly locked it.

"In March of the next year, Xiaoxue will get married," Lin Guyu said with some reluctance, with a slight smile between his eyebrows, looking at the small painting standing in the wooden box, "Have you and Xu Leng set a date?" โ€

Xu Leng brought some gadgets to give to the small paintings from time to time, but Lin Guyu didn't ask much, thinking that the two of them were in love, so he let them go.

The small painting was locked, and he raised his eyes to look at Lin Guyu, who was sitting not far away, and said shyly, "Madam, I'm still early with Young Master Leng!" โ€

Xiaohua cleaned up all this, and then walked towards Lin Guyu, "Madam, this is the key, you put it away." โ€

Lin Guyu took the key into his pocket and said lightly, "You and Xu Lengfeng should also discuss the matter, you are not young." โ€

Xiao Hua nodded with a flushed face, and walked outside behind Lin Guyu.

Just as Lin Guyu was about to go to find Xiaoxue, who was staying in the room to embroider the dowry, he hadn't walked out of his yard yet, and heard that the fourth lady was coming, so he hurriedly invited Wang Xiaoqian in.

Wang Xiaoqian was helped by Xiaocui to come in from the outside, wearing a pink cloak.

As soon as she entered the house, Xiaocui helped Wang Xiaoqian take off the cloak on her body, revealing the light pink satin cotton coat inside.

Wang Xiaoqian is now three months old and has begun to show her pregnancy, but the dress on her body is a little loose, covering her belly.

"You are really, the cold weather is still coming out," Lin Guyu couldn't help but nag at Wang Xiaoqian, and then raised his eyes to look at the small painting on the side, "You go and pour a cup of ginger tea." โ€

"Yes." The little painting answered and went out.

"It's not very cold, there is a brazier in the carriage, and I am still holding the soup woman in my hand, how can it be cold?" Wang Xiaoqian said, with a faint smile between her eyebrows, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to walk in the future, so I won't bring you some New Year's gifts in advance." โ€

Lin Guyu was a little crying and laughing, "Just let someone send it over, what are you doing here, don't you be too tired?" โ€

Wang Xiaoqian just pursed her lips and smiled.

When he saw the New Year's gift prepared by Wang Xiaoqian, Lin Guyu looked at those things with a surprised face, and calculated in his heart, how could these have hundreds of taels of silver.

Although Chi Ye is an official, his hand is very tight, and all the money is in the hands of the Zhou family, this time they have given so many gifts, and the Zhou family should not have to settle accounts with Wang Xiaoqian when they turn around.

Thinking so, Lin Guyu looked at Wang Xiaoqian on the side uneasily, and said hesitantly, "There are a little too many things this year." โ€

Wang Xiaoqian didn't remember the previous memory, but now when she heard Lin Guyu say this, she looked at those New Year's gifts in confusion, "These are all prepared by my mother-in-law, wasn't there so much before?" โ€

Zhou's?

Since it was prepared by the Zhou family themselves, it is estimated that the Zhou family will not look for Wang Xiaoqian's affairs at that time, Lin Guyu is a little confused about what the Zhou family wants to do now, and he is too lazy to think about it so much, to tell the truth, "There were not so many before." โ€

Xiaohua walked in from the outside with ginger tea and put it beside Wang Xiaoqian, and then retreated in front of Lin Guyu.

Wang Xiaoqian looked at Lin Guyu in surprise, vaguely as if she remembered that the relationship between her mother-in-law and her third sister-in-law was not very good, and vague memories flashed in her mind.

"This is all a piece of my mother-in-law's heart, and the third sister-in-law can accept it with confidence." Wang Xiaoqian said very calmly, picked up the tea cup on the side, and took a sip slowly.

After Wang Xiaoqian waited for Lin Guyu to help her take the pulse, the two of them talked about the child again, and felt tired, so Wang Xiaoqian left in a carriage.

Sitting on the carriage tiredly, Xiaocui looked at Wang Xiaoqian's appearance and asked with some concern, "Fourth lady, are you uncomfortable?" โ€

Wang Xiaoqian shook her head, leaned her head against the carriage on the side, her mind was a little confused, and the whole person was completely stunned.
