I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

Zhu Qiuqi nodded. She wanted to keep a dog in the yard for her family before, but she was worried that the puppy was too young to guard the house.

I was thinking about raising a goose to watch the house, but Zhang Siyuan proposed it now, and Zhu Qiuqi didn't refuse.

Anyway, puppies grow fast, and they can grow up in half a year.

"Except for food, what should we do about this drought...?"

Facing Zhang Siyuan, the person who shared the same bed, Zhu Qiuqi did not hide his guess and told about the drought.

Although Zhang Siyuan knew that there might be a catastrophe coming this time, when he heard Zhu Qiuqi speak out about the drought, Zhang Siyuan's expression became serious.

Every time there is a catastrophe, many people will die.

Zhang Siyuan thought for a long time, and finally shook his head.

"Drought is a natural disaster, it cannot be prevented by man."

Zhu Qiuqi remembered that the well of the village chief's house was not in the front yard, but in the backyard of their house.

The backyard happened to be close to the back mountain. Zhu Qiuqi followed Zhang Siyuan to the back mountain before. The lush vegetation in the back mountain proved that the water in the back mountain was not so little.

"His father, shall we go to the back mountain tomorrow to see?"

Zhang Siyuan heard that Zhu Qiuqi suddenly mentioned going to the back mountain. Although he didn't know what he was going to do, Zhang Siyuan nodded in agreement.

"Put Chen Chuan and the others to Mother's place tomorrow, and we won't take them into the mountains this time."

Zhu Qiuqi also wants to go to the back mountain this time to see if there are really other water sources.

It might be inconvenient if you take a few children with you.

Even if Zhang Chenchuan is sensible, but he is only six years old, if she encounters some snakes, insects, rats and ants in the back mountain, she is also worried that several children will be hurt.

Zhang Siyuan didn't object to this either, "I'll go and talk to my mother tomorrow."

When Zhang Siyuan and Zhu Qiuqi went back to rest, the children were already tired and fell asleep.

Looking at those innocent and childlike faces, Zhu Qiuqi's brows and eyes softened unconsciously.

Against the backdrop of candlelight, it looks even more delicate.

Zhang Siyuan raised his head and saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously moved closer to Zhu Qiuqi.

Zhu Qiuqi sensed his movement and gave him a strange look.

"what happened?"

Zhang Siyuan came back to his senses and hurriedly shook his head again.

He could see that Zhu Qiuqi's defense against him was gone, but Zhang Siyuan didn't dare to get close to Zhu Qiuqi rashly.

Zhu Qiuqi looked at him now with clearer eyes than before, even if his mother hadn't reminded him, Zhang Siyuan could have noticed it himself.

Zhu Qiuqi used to look at him with a bit of nostalgia and lingering eyes, but now...

Looking at those black and white eyes, Zhang Siyuan couldn't help sighing in his heart.

"It's getting late, let's go to bed early, we will go into the mountain early tomorrow morning."

Zhu Qiuqi nodded and lay down beside the little girl.

Even though the two got up very early the next morning, the sun had already risen after making breakfast for the children.

But when Zhu Qiuqi was about to send the children to the old house, there was a sudden noise from the next door.

During the time Zhu Qiuqi has been here, she is somewhat familiar with the neighbors nearby.

Their new house is at the end of the village, next to it is a wasteland, and the neighbor on the other side is Aunt Tian.

Zhu Qiuqi also has a good impression of her neighbor Aunt Tian.

Aunt Tian knew what kind of virtue she was, and she was willing to help her on weekdays.

Therefore, Zhu Qiuqi can see that Aunt Tian is a person of good character, and Zhu Qiuqi is also willing to associate with such a neighbor.

At this time in the past, Aunt Tian had already taken her grandchildren for a walk in the village, but today Aunt Tian didn't seem to go out after hearing the news.

Zhu Qiuqi handed the little girl to Zhang Siyuan, "I'll go see what's going on with Aunt Tian."

There were crying sounds mixed with the noise, and Zhu Qiuqi had a bad premonition in her heart.

After leaving the gate of the courtyard, Zhu Qiuqi saw a lot of people surrounded by the gate of the next courtyard.

"Aunt Liu, what's the matter?"

Seeing Aunt Liu in the crowd, Zhu Qiuqi hurried forward to ask.

Aunt Liu couldn't help but sighed when she heard the words, "Isn't this the thieves who were killed a thousand times? The food from your Aunt Tian's house was stolen."

Zhu Qiuqi couldn't help being startled, she was still discussing this matter with Zhang Siyuan last night.Unexpectedly, the thief went to the next door last night.

Seeing the dull expressions of the Tian family, even Aunt Tian, ​​who used to have a hot personality, seemed to have lost her spirit at this moment.

Especially the little granddaughter of the Tian family seemed to lose her voice from crying, Zhu Qiuqi frowned.

She pushed through the crowd and walked in front of Tian's daughter-in-law, "Sister-in-law, Yaya has stopped crying, I'll take her to drink some water."

When Aunt Tian's daughter-in-law heard Zhu Qiuqi's voice, she couldn't help but look down at the child in her arms.

Seeing her daughter crying, but unable to utter a sound, she couldn't help feeling a pain in her heart.

Zhu Qiuqi had no choice but to reach out to pick up the child, and hurriedly handed the handkerchief to Aunt Tian's daughter-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, there is no hurdle you can't get over. Quickly help yourself up, and I'll take Yaya back first."

Seeing Aunt Tian's daughter-in-law nodding, Zhu Qiuqi took the child and left.

"Mother, why did you bring Yaya to our house?"

Zhang Yijing saw a child in her mother's arms, and the little guy suddenly became alert.

Putting down her father's hand, she quickly walked towards Zhu Qiuqi.

Seeing her hurried steps, Zhu Qiuqi was really worried that the little girl would fall.

Hastily reminded, "Slow down, Jinger, don't fall."

Zhu Qiuqi's caring look made the little girl smile again, and her expression lost the vigilance she had just had.

"Mother, I know, I'm sensible, don't worry about it, mother."

The little girl looked lovely, Zhu Qiuqi couldn't help but rubbed her hair.

The little girl was instantly satisfied, but she still did not forget the child that Zhu Qiuqi brought back.

"Mother, why is Yaya gone? Why are you only crying, but no sound?"

Zhang Siyuan also sensed something was wrong, and walked forward quickly.

"what happened?"

Zhu Qiuqi sighed, "Pour me some hot water first, there is honey in the box on the left side of the room, remember to add some honey into it."

Hearing her order, Zhang Siyuan's gaze unconsciously fell on the child in her arms.

Looking at the child who was crying with his mouth open, but made no sound at all, Zhang Siyuan also guessed what was going on.

The children of Zhang Chenchuan couldn't help swallowing their saliva when they heard that there was honey.

But seeing the mother's anxious appearance, the children were sensible and didn't say a word.

Zhu Qiuqi carried Yaya to the room, tested that the water was almost warm, and then fed it to Yaya with a spoon.
