Xiang Ci's father is Xiang Renzhou, the eldest son of the family. He married Cui and gave birth to his eldest son Xiang Xinsong. He married Shi and had a son named Dabao.

The second son, Xiang Xinbai, is now 17 and unmarried. He works as an apprentice in the town’s escort agency and is not at home.

The third daughter, Xiang Ci, is now 13 years old.

The fourth son, Xiang Xinfeng, is 10 years old and attends a private school in the village.

Xiang Ci's second uncle, Xiang Renhe, married the Yan family and gave birth to his eldest son, Xiang Xinrong. He married the Gu family and was eight months pregnant.

The second daughter, Xiang Wan, is now 16.

The third son, Xiang Xinjin, is 14 today. He is studying at the town college and is not at home.

Xiang Ci's third uncle, Xiang Renyong, married the Hong family and gave birth to their eldest daughter, Xiang Ling, now 14 years old, and their youngest son, Xiang Xinbin, now 9 years old.

Grandpa and grandma are still living in the family, so Xiaoci is the seventh in the family and is called Xiaoqi.

There are exactly twenty people in the family. Excluding the mistress and mistress who are not at home, there are a total of eighteen people.

The small mountain village is very poor, but there are also wealthy families. The richest family is the Li Zheng family.

The old man was originally chosen to be the upright man, not because he was rich and had land, but because Mr. Xiang was a child.

Mr. Xiang's great-great-grandfather was once a Jinshi. The family not only saved a little money, but also asked future generations to continue studying and go out of the mountains to see the prosperous rivers and mountains.

It is a pity that the descendants did not live up to expectations and did not even pass the examination. They all ended up being children.

Mr. Xiang, who was born as a child, did not live frugally, but worked diligently on farming, hunting, and saving money for his children and grandchildren to go to school. Only those who could not go to school were left.

The three brothers Xiang Renzhou all attended private schools, and brother Xiang Xinsong also attended private schools. Even the granddaughters Xiang Ci and the others were forced to study and practice calligraphy at home with their brothers.

Mr. Xiang has only one request for the girls in his family: "I am not asking you to take the imperial examination, but to make you understand what is wrong and know right and wrong. After you get married, let your husband's family think highly of you and make you live a better life. Don't I have wronged myself.”

Grandma is a girl from a scholar family in Yujiacun. After marrying her, Mr. Xiang loved and protected her like a ball in his eyes. He left all the affairs of the family to her and always stood behind her to support her and make her live a comfortable life.

It is said that mothers-in-law like to bully their daughter-in-law, because they want to make the daughter-in-law suffer all the hardships she has suffered. After all, she has struggled for decades to transform from daughter-in-law to mother-in-law.

But after a comfortable daughter-in-law becomes a mother-in-law, she will give her comfort to her, and then use herself as an example to make the family happy and live in harmony.

The eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law were chosen by grandma and she liked them very much.

The third daughter-in-law was chosen by San'er herself. Grandma liked her face, but she didn't like her sinister words and her stupidity of treating her parents' family as if they were gods.

Is there any reason why a mother would rather starve her daughter and son than save a mouthful of food for her brother who is married and has children?

Xiang Ci frowned. Yes, she didn't like such a third aunt either. Fortunately, the fifth sister Xiang Ling was a shrewd person. Although she spoke very meanly, Xiang Ci thought it was good to see her being mean to her own mother. See Very cool.

The Xiang family has a large population, but under the management of her grandparents, it is actually quite simple. At least in her memory, nothing embarrassing or shameful has ever happened to the Xiang family.

After reviewing the Xiang family again, Xiang Ci's thoughts turned to nightmares again.

If the nightmares she dreamed about were things that were about to happen in the future, then the extreme heat she dreamed about would also come, right?

Do you want to call the third brother and the sixth brother back quickly?

Oh, by the way, there is also Ye Kai, who is in the escort agency with his third brother.

Also, how should I tell my grandpa about this?

Will grandpa believe in himself?

What would she do if she believed in herself?

What would she do if she didn't believe in herself?

Also, what should they prepare?

Ancient times are different from modern times. In modern times, you can store a lot of things. In ancient times, those things come and go, and there are many things that cannot be stored.

No, the point is when will the extreme heat come?

When I first had the nightmare, I was so worried that I didn't even remember the time when the extreme heat came.

Otherwise, if he had those nightmares again, he would have died more than a dozen times in the dream anyway, and he probably would have died a few more times.

"Aunt!" Dabao is almost two years old. He can talk and walk. He is very well-behaved, but he is still too young and needs someone to watch him.

Xiang Ci came back to his senses: "Ah, what?"

Dabao, who was squatting on the ground, pointed to the corner of the wall and said in a sweet voice, "Look, there are so many ants."

Xiang Ci squatted next to him and watched the dense ants forming a long line and hurried on.

Dabao picked up a leaf from the ground and went to fiddle with the ants.

Xiang Ci didn't hold him back. Children in the village didn't have many toys. They usually just caught worms and played with ants.

She also played with them when she was a child. Sometimes she would give them a grain of rice and watch them carry it.

Sometimes I would use chalk to draw lines on the ground to block their path, and I would also deliberately put some candies left on the ground to lure them.

Of course, I will also give them a drop of water, watch them struggle in the water, and then use leaves to save them.

A dozen ants can play for a day. Now that Dabao is playing with ants, Xiang Ci squats beside him with squinted eyes, watching with gusto.

However, there were too many ants that appeared this time. They were so densely packed that their scalp felt numb. Xiang Ci squatted back and said, "Dabao, do you know what it means when ants appear in rows?"

Dabao didn't even raise his head and continued to play with ants: "What do you mean?"

Xiang Ci held his face in his hands and shook it: "If the ants move, it will rain."

"Ants moving snakes across the aisle, heavy rain is coming soon!"

After finishing speaking, Xiang Ci was stunned and stared at the ants who were moving in a hurry.

Yes, why did she forget that it was going to rain when the ants moved, but a group of rats appeared today. This was obviously an animal warning. Why didn't she react yet?

She stood up suddenly, but because she got up too quickly, her vision went dark, and a group of snakes came out of the grass with great energy and crawled towards the back mountain.

"snake!"

Xiang Ci jumped up in fright, but there was nothing in front of her. Only Dabao, who heard her shout, turned around and looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"No, it's the snake I saw." Xiang Ci turned pale and murmured, "A group of rats, a group of ants, and a group of snakes. This is definitely a precursor to an earthquake."

If it rains, it's impossible for a swarm of rats and a swarm of snakes to come out too.

She ran towards the kitchen, and happened to hear her grandma say: "So many mice appear together, this must be a bad sign. Those animals are more alert than us, and they are afraid they are hiding from disaster."

Xiang Ci rushed into the kitchen with a smile on his face: "Grandma, there are so many ants there, densely packed, more than when the ants moved."

Grandma's face looked even more ugly: "Where is it? Take grandma to have a look."

Xiang Ci took her grandma to the corner: "Look, are there many?"

Grandma twisted her eyebrows together and shouted into the room: "Xiao Bin, go and tell your grandfather that there are a lot of ants moving around in the corner. There is no need to say anything else."

After hearing this, Xiang Xinbin ran out of the courtyard.
