"It's just winter, do you want to be in such a hurry?"

Hui Niang said with some hesitation.

"Mother, when you think it's time to buy grain, everyone will go to buy grain, and the price of grain will definitely rise at that time."

Ripple immediately explained.

"Ripples is right, fortunately, the grain harvested this year, after we paid enough taxes and grain, the rest was not sold, but even so, it was only enough to eat until summer, but in previous years, there were wild vegetables to satisfy hunger, and I could also go to the town to work part-time to earn some money, and it was no problem to last until the autumn harvest, but it was difficult to say what happened next year."

Song Dachuan's brows were furrowed, and the center of his eyebrows was a big Sichuan character, which showed that he was really worried.

Now Hui Niang didn't say anything, he knew that what his husband said was the truth, after all, they had only been separated for more than three years, and the foundation was still too thin, plus Huzi recuperated his body, they really didn't save much money, and it was normal to worry.

The family reached an agreement, and Song Dachuan started to act the next day, he still went to the town for the reason of working as a part-time worker, but when he came back, he would bring a pound or two of grain in the basket, rice, noodles, brown rice, buckwheat flour, and so on, like ants moving, hoarding them at home little by little.

At the same time, Hui Niang also took the ripples back to her parents' house, but fortunately, they were all in the same village, and it took two quarters of an hour to arrive.

Hui Niang told her father about buying food and saving, and the main purpose was to remind them to prepare for the disaster year.

"Your father has been worried about this matter recently, it doesn't snow this day, and we are also anxious, so we are afraid that the winter wheat planted in the field will not be harvested, some time ago I saw that your father covered a straw mat in the field, and your father let your four younger brothers follow the example, hoping to see some harvest in the spring."

Old Zhang sat cross-legged on the kang and sighed.

"Dad, mother, sister, this is not the New Year yet, maybe it will snow after the New Year."

Zhang Shi scratched his head and said.

His daughter-in-law was pregnant during the autumn harvest, and now she has a stable pregnancy after the first three months, and if the next year's year is really bad, it will have a great impact on their small family.

"At this time last year, there was already a heavy snowfall, two light snowfalls, and half of their house in the east of the village was crushed by the snow, and you don't remember."

Old man Zhang glared at his youngest son and said.

"Dad, I think what the eldest sister said is right, just like the 'rainy day' that Ripples said, let's buy some food and store it, it's not a bad thing after all, it's one thing to eat it yourself, if the year is good next year, you can sell the grain at that time, and you can exchange it for money."

Zhang Zhong sat on the edge of the kang and also expressed his opinion, he is also a good farmer, so he is also very sensitive to the weather.

"My dad has recently started to buy food little by little in the name of going to the town to work part-time, and there is no need to do this with great fanfare.

If next year's year is good, that's the best, if next year's year is not good, everyone is hungry, knowing that our old Zhang family has surplus food, if you come to borrow it, will grandpa and grandma borrow or not?

If you borrow it, you must have to go and not go back, and our family will also eat and drink, and my little aunt is still pregnant, and it is estimated that she will give birth in the summer.

But if you don't borrow it, everyone is an ancestor of the villagers, and grandma will definitely not see death without saving, but our ability is limited, and who to save is not to save anyone, it is a matter of offending people, after all, people's hearts are unpredictable, or do your best.

It's the same with buying food, it's best to keep a low profile, just save enough food to survive next year's disaster, and leave some emergency money at home. ”

Although Ripple is standing by Hui Niang's side, because she has the experience of being an errand boy in a big family like the Dong family, she is barely knowledgeable, so she explained for Hui Niang, and Lao Zhang's family listened to it.

"The ripple girl is right, just do what she says, I hope God will have mercy and hurry up for the next heavy snow."

In the end, Lao Zhangtou's sigh ended the day's meeting.

After that, the four sons of the Zhang family would also follow Song Dachuan from time to time to go to the town to do short-term work, and then take bags of grain home.

After the New Year, it finally snowed, but unfortunately it was a light snow, and even the ground was not covered, which made the peasant family happy in vain, and the atmosphere in the village was not very good.

And Ripple has begun to prepare quietly, from Shi Jiu, she already knows that next year will be a disaster year, their state capital, first a big drought, and then a pest plague, the government relief is not timely, there are many people who fled the famine, and in some places even the whole village has left.

The younger brother of the original body also died in this year, he didn't have ripples to help warm his body, let alone because of the silver money that ripples brought home, he was well fed and clothed, and Song Dachuan's family was just barely hungry, and when it came to natural disasters, Huzi was the first to not survive.

Song Dachuan and his wife barely survived in the end because they had the old Zhang family to take care of them, because they fled with Zhangjia Village, went around outside, and finally returned to Zhangjia Village.

It's just that at that time, there were two-thirds fewer people in Zhangjia Village, and the remaining people who came back alive were also skinny, and they barely survived because of the government's relief.

And the old man Song's family was lucky, because of the gold bars that Song Dashan found in Wankou Mountain, after they found out that the situation was wrong, they instigated Song Dashan to go to the state capital that was not affected by the disaster.

After the natural disaster passed, their family returned to Songjia Village, and one person received a piece of relief food, and learned that Huzi was dead, and then the news of the death of the original body was transmitted, and they also felt a bad breath.

Now that the bag of gold is lying in the rippling space, Song Dashan's corpse has turned into white bones, so sometimes there is a bonus of luck to complete the task.

This is also every time Ripple enters a world, while completing a task, she also does her best to save more people without destroying the laws of the world, so she can earn merit from some ordinary tasks, accumulate a lot, and improve her luck.

This time she was with Song Dachuan's family, she did so much in advance, just to survive the natural disaster, to remind the old Zhang family before, it was also a link in advance, no matter what situation would be encountered in this escape, at least they would not be caught off guard.

There were two light snows throughout the winter, barely covering the ground, but it didn't take long for the snow to melt, and the winter wheat did not grow well.

"Dad, do we still plant spring seeds?"

Hui Niang asked with some uncertainty. (End of chapter)
