There are many villagers who come to the river to fetch water.

The water level, which used to reveal only one or two stepping stones, is now a small fish and shrimp that can reach the bottom of the water with an outstretched hand.

The villagers who came to fetch water caught some fish and shrimp by the way, but their faces were not very happy.

God it doesn't rain, and the rice fields are all cracked. If this continues, this year's harvest will only be worse than last year's.

"Damn thief! Last year, it rained endlessly, and the harvest was not good. Not a drop of rain will fall this year, this is going to starve us to death! Some village women scolded and howled.

The third sister tugged on the hem of Xu Yin's clothes, looking at this scene and being a little scared.

"Don't be afraid." Xu Yin touched her head.

"Sister-in-law, the chief is also there." Jiro tugged at her sleeve.

Xu Yin raised her eyes and looked at the white-bearded old man with frowning brows, is he the chief in charge of this piece?

After thinking about it, she put down the bucket and walked over.

"Captain, do you always think it's going to rain in the near future?"

"You ......"

"She is the daughter-in-law of the eldest man." The village woman who recognized Xu Yin laughed heartily, "It's a spicy little lady!" ”

"Oh, it's the eldest daughter-in-law."

The lieutenant also heard about Xu Yin's actions, although he didn't like her disrespectful attitude towards the elders, but when he talked about it in detail, this matter was indeed the fault of Boss Li's family.

Therefore, I don't like it, and I still said some of my own opinions on Xu Yin's inquiry:

"It doesn't seem to rain much on this day, but I'm afraid it will be ...... this year."

Li Chang sighed and shook his head, the year will not be too good.

Xu Yin said: "I used to hear a businessman who traveled from south to north said that the drier the place, the easier it is to attract locust plagues. ”

"A plague of locusts?" When the chief heard this, his face turned white in an instant, and he muttered words in his mouth, "Yes!" The generation of my ancestors suffered from locust plagues, and the locust plagues passed through the borders and there was no harvest of grains! How good is this, how is this good......"

The young did not understand: "What is the plague of locusts?" How can there be no harvest? ”

The older ones have heard their parents and grandparents mention them, so their faces have become very bad.

"Captain, if there is really a locust plague, my village may suffer the greatest loss." Xu Yin reminded them, "Our village is located in a mountainous area, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and I heard from the man that locusts like to lay their eggs in the uneven highlands of the mountainous areas. Once a locust plague is triggered, our village will bear the brunt. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces faded with blood.

"How's that okay?"

"Could it be that our Lijia Village should be like the people of Beiguan, fleeing everywhere and having a home to return?" A village woman squatted on the ground, covering her face and crying.

Some people took the lead, and many women wiped away tears.

"Daughter-in-law, I see you know a lot, do you have any good ideas?" The lieutenant asked Xu Yin.

Xu Yin muttered: "At present, I can't think of a better way, but if it doesn't rain all the time, and the drought disaster is avoided, the subsequent locust plague is very likely." Rather than waiting until the grain is not harvested in the end, it is better to harvest the millet as soon as possible and find a place to take refuge. ”

It's not very likely, it's definitely going to happen.

But she knows the plot, and the villagers don't.

A few people glared at her with disapproval: "What? Collect it now? A lot of it is still green millet, and if it is not full, what harvest can there be? Are you not at ease? ”

Xu Yin ignored his last sentence and sincerely persuaded: "Although the harvest is small, it is better than no harvest." ”

The lieutenant was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "That's it! Let's go back and discuss with the family, let's decide! ”

Although most villagers are worried about drought and locust plagues, they are reluctant to harvest rice now.

This is only the beginning of May, it will take half a month to say that it is ripe, the millet is yellow on one side, but the other side is still green, and it has not yet grown full, as long as there is a heavy rain, there will be a good harvest. Accept it now, who is willing to do it!

Aunt Li learned that it was Xu Yin's idea, so she ran to her door and scolded:

"What do you have to smash an inch? Let's take away the unripe grain, and what will we eat when we turn back? You're good! One acre of land will take away half a stone of grain from me, and it doesn't matter how many stones we harvest in the field, you poisonous woman! The heart is really poisonous! It's trying to starve us to death! ”

As soon as the door of Xu Yinyuan was closed, she sang opera.

That's all she said anyway.

Everyone can listen to it if they want to, and if they don't want to listen, she can't force their heads.

Like Aunt Li, there are many people who feel that Xu Yin is not well-intentioned, and muttered in private:

"Her family has no land, I'm afraid she is jealous of our land-owning family, I wish we had a bad harvest!"

"How can there be such a vicious person!"

"No wonder her brother and sister-in-law want to marry her off without a bride price, and if she is my sister-in-law, I can't stand it."

"Poor ......"

Although these words were carried by Xu Yin, they were not carried by the children of various families.

So, when these children were playing, they laughed at Erlang and the third sister: "Your sister-in-law is a vicious woman!" She's here to stay at your house. You two fools, sooner or later, you will be killed by her! ”

Erlang spat at the speaker with a "phew": "You're a fool!" My sister-in-law is a good person! ”

"That's right! Sister-in-law is good to us! The third sister touched her little tug, looked down at the cuffs embroidered with green bamboo, and nodded vigorously, "Yes!" Sister-in-law is the best! ”

The child who was spit on refused to give up and pounced on Erlang, and the two writhed.

Jiro was young and didn't have much strength, so he was soon beaten on the ground by the big kids.

Xu Yin heard the next-door neighbor say that Erlang was being bullied, so she hurried over and pulled the child away.

"No fighting! If you have something to say, it's good to say! ”

"Poisonous woman! Bah! ”

The boy grimaced at her and ran away with the others.

The third sister was frightened and cried, squatting next to Erlang and swallowing: "Sister-in-law, the second brother's face is broken, woo woo......"

Jiro's cheek was scratched by the child.

But he didn't cry, he bared his teeth and said, "I bit him, and I didn't lose anything!" ”

Xu Yin took the two of them home, first took a clean hand towel to wipe his face, and then disinfected him.

"Sister-in-law, is this wine?" Jiro smelled the smell of alcohol and asked curiously, "Do we still have wine at home?" ”

"Well, sister-in-law's dowry."

When the original body came, she picked up a package, in fact, there were only two sets of washing, but anyway, God knows, only she knows what is in the package.

The two children were young and had no suspicions at all.

"It smells so good! My dad loves to drink! Jiro sniffed and desperately sniffed the unique aroma of alcohol.

Xu Yin couldn't help but laugh at his expression, she didn't even feel stinging when she disinfected him, this kid was afraid that he was hungry and stupid.

"My sister-in-law will cook you egg noodles tonight, do you want to eat them?"

"Yes!"

"Do we have noodles in our house?"

"Yes, my sister-in-law exchanged it with someone, but she was not allowed to say it."

"Yes."

After this incident, Xu Yin, who raised cubs independently for the first time, felt that she had to move.

It makes sense for Meng's mother to move three times.

If you want your child to become a talent, the living environment accounts for half.

Although she doesn't have the ambition to raise a champion, she doesn't want her two cubs' childhood to be spent fighting with people all day long.

In addition, the famine is approaching, since there is no way to change the status quo, then escape in order to fight for a glimmer of life.
