Xiang Ci looked at Cui eagerly, waiting for the gong to start.

Unexpectedly, Cui only said this sentence and did not continue.

Xiang Ci moved his eyes to Ye Kai and heard the other party say lightly: "She can do it."

Then, silence.

Xiang Ci's eyes widened, now it's gone?

"The noodles are so fragrant." Xiang Xinbai rushed in from outside the house, took a sip of the hot soup with the sea bowl in his arms, "The noodles made by my mother are still delicious. You don't know, although Kaixin and I ate all kinds of noodles outside. Such delicious food, but no matter how delicious it is, it’s not as delicious as my mother’s cooking.”

Mrs. Cui, whose eyes were slightly moist just now, immediately smiled and frowned when she heard her son's words: "You are the only poor one, so eat quickly."

Seeing that he had nothing to eat anymore, Xiang Ci was about to leave when he heard Xiang Xinbai say: "We came back this time to avoid everyone. Grandpa, why did you ask us to buy food?"

The money he and Kaixin earned was enough to feed, clothe, and go to school, and there was still some leftover. What's more, the family also grew food, so it couldn't be that there wasn't enough food.

After discussing with Kaixin, he felt that something happened at home that caused the urgent need for food.

After all, they had been in the escort agency for so many years, and grandpa had never asked them to buy food.

So after discussing with Kaixin, he returned to the next town, bought a cart of grain, and deliberately picked the time in the middle of the night to bring the grain back.

Because they felt that grandpa's behavior was abnormal this time and they probably didn't want others to see it.

Unexpectedly, when I got home near dawn, my family almost beat me up as a thief.

Xiang Ci, who was about to leave, sat back silently and pulled her back. Even if she wanted to leave, she would still be pulled back later, so she might as well stay here and wait for the truth to be told.

Mr. Xiang slightly raised his eyes and looked at Xiang Xinbai and Ye Kai: "Xiaoqi fell from the mountain last month and hit his head."

Xiang Xinbai and Ye Kai put down their chopsticks at the same time and rushed to Xiang Ci anxiously.

"Did you hit your head? Does it hurt? Third brother rubbed your head hard just now, why didn't you say anything?"

"Let me see where you fell? Do you feel like vomiting? Are you dizzy?"

Xiang Ci bore the two people's concern and was happy in her heart: "I told you that it was last month and it was fine. Besides, you should listen to grandpa first."

The two of them saw no scars or bulges on Xiao Qi's head, and when they heard what he said again, they sat back down with a sigh of relief, and their eyes fell on Mr. Xiang.

Mr. Xiang stared at them with a cold face: "People who walk in the world should remain calm and express their emotions on their faces like you. If those people look at you and try to figure out how to deal with you, you will be dead. This is not the case at all." Know?"

Xiang Xinbai and Ye Kai averted their eyes and remained silent. Xiang Ci also touched his nose and lowered his head in embarrassment.

Just now, she should have avoided it.

Seeing that they were honest, Mr. Xiang said: "After Xiao Qi fell on his head, he had nightmares every night..."

After hearing what Mr. Xiang said, Xiang Xinbai and Ye Kai were dumbfounded. They both looked at Xiang Ci, who was bowing his head, and their eyebrows lit up: "Xiao Qi actually became a Taoist nun!"

Aunt Xiang raised her head and laughed twice: "Yes, that's why I asked you to buy more food and save it."

Ye Feng frowned: "If it's as you said, severe drought and severe cold are coming, then just buying food is not enough. Water is also an urgent issue, and cotton-padded clothes are also very important."

Xiang Xinbai agreed: "We should dig a deep well and use clay pots to store water. If a severe drought comes and there is water in our deep well, but people in the village have no water to drink, they will have to come to our house to fetch water." .”

"If you don't give it, you will offend the public. If you give it, our family may be short of water, so it is necessary to store water."

Mr. Xiang's eyes lit up: "Yes, so I have an idea."

Everyone looked towards Mr. Xiang.

Mr. Xiang said: "We can't tell everyone about the severe drought and severe cold now. Otherwise, in addition to causing trouble, we will also be accused by the government of making evil talk and causing harm to the public, and we will be jailed."

"I was just thinking that when you two come back, you will tell Xiaoqi's fortune outside, saying that if she brings more water this year, it will bring wealth to the family."

"Then our family will dig a deep well for Xiao Qi, and then encourage the villagers to each contribute some money, and together we can dig two more deep wells in the village."

Everyone was about to say yes, and even Xiang Ci thought it was a good idea, but they heard Ye Kai say: "Grandpa, I don't think it's good to involve Xiao Qi. If a severe drought really comes, then the villagers will seize on this It’s not Xiaoqi’s fault.”

"A severe drought is inherently a lack of water. We say that Xiao Qi brings water. When a severe drought comes, some people may say that Xiao Qi took away all the water, which caused the severe drought."

Xiang Xinbai also exclaimed: "Yes, you can't say that. It was once recorded in Monsters of Mountains and Seas that there is a ghostly creature called Drought Demon, which will cause drought wherever it goes."

"If we say that Xiao Qi brings water now, but when a severe drought comes and there is a lack of water, we are afraid that they will regard Xiao Qi as a drought demon instead of the reincarnation of a god."

Mr. Xiang's face turned dark and his eyes darkened: "I made a mistake."

Xiang Xinbai said with a smile: "Grandpa is just in the dark under the lamp, and wants to use Xiao Qi's theory of the reincarnation of the gods again, but this theory of disaster cannot be related to Xiao Qi. Otherwise, things will turn against each other."

The family originally heard Mr. Xiang’s idea and thought it was a good idea.

Now when Xiang Xinbai and Ye Kai said this, they suddenly realized that they were afraid.

Fortunately, otherwise Xiao Qi would be destroyed if this news spread.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Ye Kai picked up the noodles with his chopsticks and said thoughtfully, "What grandpa said just now gave me a similar idea."

The family members all looked at him: "Say."

Ye Feng's face was serious: "Let's just say that our money this year is not as much as last year. Let's ask a half-immortal to calculate our fortune. The half-immortal said that water can gather wealth. If we dig a deep well at home, we can gather wealth and make more money."

Xiang Xinbai's eyes lit up: "Yes, no matter who it is, as long as they hear it is related to money, everyone is willing to do it. Then let's dig a deep well at home, and they will want to learn how to keep it."

"When the time comes, they also want to dig deep wells. Grandpa, you will come forward and ask the villagers to pool their money to dig deep wells in the village. How many deep wells they will dig depends on how much money they raise."

Xiang Ci cupped her cheek into a flower with her hands, her eyes sparkling. This idea was better than the one Grandpa had just come up with.

Mr. Xiang looked at Ye Kai and Xiang Xinbai with a smile in his eyes: "The minds of young people who go out to explore are quick. This idea is okay."

After solving a problem, everyone's slightly depressed hearts relaxed a lot.

Everyone looked at Xiang Ci again. Xiang Ci, who was stared at by everyone, hurriedly said: "In addition to the severe drought, there is also the severe cold. In my dream, the severe cold is very cold. The snow is waist deep and the wind is howling. Scratch. And..."

She pointed to the bright sky outside: "In the coldest time, people can freeze to death if they go out, and all the trees freeze into ice flowers in an instant."
