Chapter 179 Severe Drought

After returning to Panlong Village, Li Chenzhou's family only had interactions with Bai Yiming's family, and their relationship with the villagers was just average.

Since Mao Lianhua was beaten by Li Chenzhou again, she has calmed down; even after Li Chenzhou left, she did not dare to trouble Jiang Biqing.

Li Chenzhou immersed himself in cultivation every day, constantly honing his sword moves and sword intent, and his cultivation and sword intent were increasing day by day. In his spare time, he went up the mountain to look for medicinal herbs, and occasionally treated people in nearby villages. He lived a fulfilling and leisurely life.

Mr. Li commanded Xu Changsheng and Tian Jun to build the courtyard wall around the house. Once the courtyard wall was encircled, the situation inside the house could not be seen from the outside. Moreover, the entire courtyard was so spacious that it could also be used as his own home.

vegetable plot.

Xu Changsheng and Tian Jun also filled the yard with vegetables. In just two months, the yard was full of greenery.

Seeing that the New Year is only half a month away, Li Wenyi and Li Wenxuan arrived as scheduled.

Along the way, Li Wenxuan and Li Wenyi were full of curiosity and couldn't help but look at the current situation of Panlong Village; the people in the village were carrying water back and forth in the fields, and everyone was somewhat impetuous, which made people feel panicked.

.

Li Chenzhou, who was waiting at the entrance of the village, immediately saw Li Wenxuan and Li Wenyi sitting on the bullock cart, and Xu Changsheng sitting next to them.

"Eldest brother, second brother." Li Chenzhou waved his hands repeatedly.

"It's little sister." Li Wenxuan looked up, immediately smiled, jumped off the bullock cart, and strode forward to pick her up, "little sister, why are you here to pick us up? Where are grandpa and brother Tian?"

"Grandpa is waiting for you at home. Brother Tian has to take care of grandpa." Li Chenzhou hugged Li Wenxuan's neck, with a happy smile on his baby-fat little face.

Li Wenxuan nodded, "Oh, that's right!"

Li Wenyi stretched out his hand and said, "Little sister, come to big brother."

Li Chenzhou turned to look at him, and saw Li Wenyi's lips curled up slightly, smiling lightly, with a very reserved temperament, and stretched out his hand, "Brother, did you and your second brother have a good time on the train? Did you get lost after getting off the train to the county town?

?”

"No, just ask people and you will know where to go. Your second brother and I are not stupid enough." Li Wenyi teased, "On the other hand, you seem to have grown taller, fatter, and heavier after not seeing each other for two months.

A little bit..."

Li Chenzhou's face heated up and he laughed instantly, "Brother, have you ever heard that children are always the same every day? I have to grow up! I can't always be a little kid."

Little bean sprouts?

Li Wenyi understood after a moment's thought, "You are also a little Douding now."

"Brother, to be honest, he is not a good person."

"Then Zhouzhou wants to tell lies to his eldest brother?"

Li Chenzhou curled his lips, "Isn't it the elder brother who tells lies and truth?"

Li Wenyi smiled.

Xu Changsheng stepped forward and said, "Miss Shen Zhou, let's talk after we go home! Uncle Datian still has to drive the cattle cart back to the production team."

Li Chenzhou glanced at the uncle driving the car and nodded, "Uncle Datian, thank you for your hard work; let's go home quickly."

The Tian family is at the head of the village. They have two sons. After their parents died, the two brothers separated. From then on, people in the village called them separately, the eldest was Da Tian, ​​and the second brother was Xiao Tian.

Datian's name is Tian Dazhi, and Xiaotian's name is Tian Xiaozhi. They are accountants in the production team.

"Okay, girl Shen Zhou, get in the car." Tian Dazhi smiled honestly.

Li Chenzhou knew this man. He was stupid, could not even say the polite words he should say, and had a good heart. He heard from the villagers who came to see him in the past that he was also a good man, and he would help anyone in the village who asked him for help.

Li Wenyi carried her into the car, sat cross-legged on the cart, and put her on his lap.

Tian Dazhi kept looking back, "Girl Shen Zhou, is this your grandfather's grandson?"

"Well, my uncle's family, the eldest brother's name is Li Wenyi, and the second brother's name is Li Wenxuan. Now during the winter vacation, he comes to our village to play, and will go back when school starts." Li Chenzhou smiled and nodded, "Uncle Datian, why did you come to the county today?

?The production team has something to sell?"

Tian Dazhi drove the bullock cart and smiled naively, "The production team has a batch of eggs to sell. There is a serious drought in the land now. Captain Bai said that the eggs saved in the past two months should be exchanged for money to prepare. That word is called

Whatever you need from time to time."

"Just in case of emergencies."

"Yes, that's the word." Tian Dazhi told everything he knew, everything he knew; Li Chenzhou asked him all the questions.

On the way, I asked a lot of gossip. The villagers' fields had begun to dry out, and the dryness was very serious. Even in winter, it didn't rain. It was the villagers who carried water to irrigate the sweet potato fields.

Seeing that the fields were getting dryer and drier, Bai Yiming felt anxious and hoped that the sweet potatoes would be abundant, so he would naturally have to mobilize the masses to work.

"Should all the sweet potatoes in the fields be harvested now?" Li Chenzhou asked.

Tian Dazhi nodded, "It's almost time. Captain Bai has chosen a harvest day. It will be the day after tomorrow. The fields are cracked. If this continues, the sweet potatoes will burst due to the sun. This is what happened in the winter. Fortunately, Captain Bai

Be smart and plant sweet potatoes, otherwise we won’t know what to eat for the next half year.”

Li Chenzhou pursed his lips, not knowing what to say, and winked at Xu Changsheng.

Xu Changsheng smiled and said: "It will all be over. It's good to have sweet potatoes in the village to satisfy hunger. Province C is so big, and the famine may have been worse elsewhere. People from several villages near us, when the sweet potatoes were confiscated,

, at least there are sweet potato vines to eat.”

When Tian Dazhi heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes! There are still some green vegetables in the vegetable field at home. When the sweet potatoes are collected, they will be harvested and made into pickles. We will also have vegetables to eat in winter."

"By the way, most places in Province C are suffering from drought this year. Will we still receive the second public grain harvest this year?" Xu Changsheng asked suddenly.

"I don't know, I hope we won't collect it! If we collect public grains again, not even our village, people in several nearby villages will not agree." Tian Dazhi said uncertainly.

Xu Changsheng didn't think so. Nowadays, due to famine, more grain is harvested every year. Although this year there were floods and drought, we did get a harvest in the first half of the year.

If the local government wants political achievements, the people below must pay food.

The bullock cart stopped outside the gate of Li's house. Li Wenyi put Li Chenzhou on the ground and helped Xu Changsheng move his things down. After sending Tian Dazhi away, Li Wenyi and Li Wenxuan helped Xu Changsheng move all his things into the yard.

They bought a lot of food this time, including ten hemp bags and five bags of flour, which was enough for them to eat for several months.

Coupled with the game Li Chenzhou brought back from the mountains, maybe the food can be eaten for a longer period of time.

"Wen Yi, Wen Xuan is here! Did it go well on the way?" Mr. Li heard the commotion, walked out of the room, and asked repeatedly.

"Grandpa, everything is going well for us. I'll talk to you later!" Li Wenxuan replied with a smile, and he and Li Wenyi kept moving food.

Tian Jun, who followed Mr. Li out, took the initiative to help and helped move the food into the kitchen and organize it.

It's a bit awkward, there is a fork in the road here, I have to see which way is easier~~
