Since we drove the Chen family's mother and son away, we have also discussed the use of this land at home, it is impossible to be empty, how to plant the land next year, but who will plant it, is a problem.

After the mother and son of the Chen family were driven away by us, they also spread rumors about our family everywhere, saying bad things about our family, the point is that our family will embezzle the remaining piece of land of the old Lu family, and our family will plant it next year.

The best way to ignore this kind of rumor is to ignore it, and when the spring ploughing time comes next year, the rumors will be self-defeating, and since our family moved here, there has been no shortage of rumors, and now we are basically immune to them.

But there were indeed a few people in the village who came to Jiang Zhi to ask if the rumors were true, and after Jiang Zhi denied it, they asked who the land was planted for, and Jiang Zhi did not give a clear answer, but said that he couldn't decide this matter himself, and everyone had to discuss and decide together.

Although the plot of land caused us some trouble, the matter of booking early rice planting went very smoothly, and the whole village basically signed up. The little brother-in-law calculated that there were only 8 greenhouses in the village, but they were not as big as ours, and they were not as warm as ours. However, at most, 200 acres of rice seedlings can be raised, but there are a total of 468 acres of early rice to be planted next year, and there is still a big gap in the middle.

Several people figured out this value on their own, so they looked for an opportunity to carry something. I gave gifts to our family, the purpose of which was to be afraid that there would not be enough rice seedlings next year and that our family would not be able to plant them.

It doesn't matter if the gift they give is light or heavy. Jiang Zhidu confiscated it, and comforted him for a while, saying that he would try his best to solve the problem of rice seedlings, and try to let everyone plant early rice. Even in the end, there is really no way, then next year's rice seedlings will be evenly distributed according to the proportion of the land, which will appease the gift-giver.

Heading into December, there was no snow outside. But the weather was a little colder, and the villagers hid at home and burned the kang hot. Lie down under the covers to keep warm.

In such a dry and cold weather, a very serious incident occurred in the village, and Zhang Wanfu's house at the head of the village was robbed.

It happened one afternoon when it was just getting dark, from the main road leading to the county. A couple of men on bicycles came. It was just dark. Most of the villagers went home to cook and eat. So no one saw these outsiders on bicycles.

Zhang Wanfu's daughter-in-law heard a sound in the yard, so she opened the door and came out to see what was going on. Just went straight into the house.

Zhang Wanfu saw that the few men who came in were carrying knives in their hands, and they felt bad. I wanted to go to the kitchen knife, but they just put the knife on his neck.

Thanks to this gang of gangsters, they are not the kind of gangsters who kill people and steal goods, they just used knives to control the Zhang family and forced out where the grain was hidden, (in fact, the villagers of Tashan Village put all the grain in the granary and never hid it.) Several big men each carried a sack of rice, sped on, and sped away.

Although the Zhang family was not injured, they were all frightened, and looked at the last gangster, holding a knife in one hand and a small bag of rice in the other, retreating out of the courtyard of the Zhang family, and quickly riding a bicycle and following the large army into the night.

His daughter-in-law and children immediately sat in the yard and cried.

Then a large group of people went to Zhang's house to ask what was going on, and expressed sympathy for their family's plight, and some people should be secretly glad that their family did not live in the village, and the family's food was not robbed.

Jiang Zhi, as the village head, such a big thing happened, someone must have come to inform him, Jiang Zhi and the three of them went to Zhang Wanfu's house at night, and did not come back until midnight.

In the living room at home, Qu's mother prepared a supper for them, and Weiwei and I put the plates and bowls on the coffee table for them, so that they could talk about the situation of Zhang Wanfu's family while eating.

"This time is also lucky, the people who came only sought wealth and did not hurt anyone, and Zhang Wanfu and his family were only scared to find them, and they were not injured, this is a blessing in misfortune." Jiang Zhi said.

"Has the food in the house been robbed?" Dad Jiang asked with concern.

"No, those people came by bicycle, and each person took a sack of grain at most, so when we went to see it, there were still two sacks left in their granary, about 400 catties of rice."

"Isn't there snow on the road leading to the county, so how can they still ride straight?" I asked, a little confused.

Bicycles are hard to ride in the thick snow, and they are very slippery, how can these people come by bicycles.

"I went to the main road to take a look, and it hasn't snowed these days, and there is a thin layer of snow on the ground, so if you have good skills, it's okay to ride a bike." Jiang Zhi said.

"Just save that food, but it's not enough for his family to eat." Qu's mother is also worried about others.

Zhang Wanfu's family has 7 people, Zhang Wanfu's father and mother, and their husband and wife, as well as a son and a daughter, Zhang Wanfu also has a sister in the boudoir.

That little bit of food is enough for these people in their family to eat for two or three months, that is, they drink thin every day, and they are supporting the sky for one more month.

"I just went to ask, there are still hundreds of catties of sweet potatoes and more than 100 catties of potatoes in their cellar, I calculated it, and it should be able to deal with it until the beginning of spring next year." Jiang Zhi is now the village head, there are some things he must care about, now the winter is as long as five months to half a year, and there is not enough food to eat.

"Hmph, I said, it's all Zhang Wanfu who is too bear, a big man, there is no branch, so let the family serve the nest." Li Cheng didn't even resist Zhang Wanfu, so he let people rob him, which was very atmospheric.

Li Shanqing happened to sit next to him, and after listening to his words, he slapped him on the back of the head.

"There are six big men with knives here, and there are two adult men on their side, he and his father, how can you let him do it."

"Those people don't have guns, and they can't die if they cut them, so why can't they fight. If they had taken all the food from their homes, they would have starved to death. Li Cheng still doesn't look down on such a wretch.

"You think that all people are like you, with well-developed limbs and simple minds, and people have hope, even if those people rob the family of food, as long as there is land, he will not starve to death." Li Shanqing looked at Li Cheng with a tangled look, knowing that he actually understood this truth, but he was very dissatisfied with the behavior of giving over the fruits of his labor to people without doing anything like this, so he didn't explain everything, and ate directly.

"His grain was robbed, and the villagers in the whole village couldn't watch their family starve to death, whether it was borrowed or given, it would definitely be able to deal with it until next year, as long as there was land to plant, and it would be harvested next autumn, then everything would be fine." Jiang Zhi explained to everyone.

"What if next year is like this year, just after the grain is harvested, someone comes to grab it? If the robbery goes smoothly this time, what if you come to our village in a few days and rob someone else? Could it be that the people in our village are just feeding them, it is all the food we have worked so hard to grow. "I asked the question that was on my mind.

Everyone listened, but they didn't say anything for a while, Li Cheng saw that everyone was silent, and he spoke again: "My sister is right, the production capacity of our village is very good, but the combat ability is too poor, and there is no self-protection ability." These few thieves can't deal with it, so if a few powerful ones come in the future, the whole village won't be able to end it. ”

Jiang Zhi raised his head and asked Dad Jiang and Dad Qu: "Dad, Dad, what do you think?" ”

Dad Jiang thought about it for a while and said: "Xiaoyi and Chengzi are right, this world is getting worse day by day, I don't know when, let's let people target it, the people who came this time only grabbed the food, and if the bad guys who come back next time still hurt people, it will be bad." Besides, our food is not easy to come by, and we are really reluctant to let people get it for nothing, and we really have to think of a way to see if we can prevent this kind of thing from happening. ”

"Yes, we can't tolerate the traitors, they have to succeed this time, if they don't have food to eat, they will think of us here, we are not their granary, they can come when they want, they can take as much as they want, we have to think of a way, so that they have no return." Li Cheng patted his thigh and said.

Jiang Zhi listened to everyone's words, and just finished eating, he put the bowl down, flicked his chopsticks, and said, "Okay, since everyone agrees with this, then let's go back and think of a way." It's not early now, let's rest today, and think about what we can do, and wait until tomorrow we will have a meeting with a few old people in the village to discuss and discuss. Daughter-in-law, hurry up and pack up and let your parents rest. ”

Jiang Zhi gestured to me with the dishes on the coffee table, I am a daughter-in-law, a daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law, I have to work hard, and after serving everyone, I have to complete the aftermath.

When Weiwei and I got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Li Cheng shouted: "Hey, sister, Sister Xiaowei, you wait, I haven't finished eating yet." Li Cheng held the bowl and vigorously put vegetables into his bowl.

I smiled and said: "People are talking while eating, eating and discussing without delay, you are good, when you say that you are excited, you drop the bowl, and you are angry there, but after people finish eating, you are still hungry, you deserve it." ”

Although I was talking about him, I couldn't bear to let him be hungry, so I left him a few dishes that he liked to eat, "Eat slowly, be careful to eat quickly because your stomach hurts." ”

"Hey, my sister still loves me." Li Cheng's mouth was full of rice, and he didn't forget to slap the horse. (To be continued......)
