Parents are busy farming

Old Mrs. Bai grabbed Lu Zili's hand again and asked: "Grand nephew, you came to your uncles today just to tell them about the drought situation. Do you want us to prepare food?"

The old lady didn't know how hard she was holding Lu Zili's hand now. Even though Lu Zili often did farm work, he could still clearly feel the pain in his arm, but he didn't dare to struggle.

Explained: "Zifen wants to go to the south to collect some grain and needs someone to watch over there. I want to ask some uncles for their opinions. If they agree, I will send them to the south."

The others haven't spoken yet, but Mrs. Bai has already made a decision for them.

"Go, all three of them, take your wives and children and leave quickly. I heard that the south is rich. As long as you work hard there, there will be food for everyone!"

Lu Zili quickly comforted him: "Grandma, there is no need to be so anxious. Let the two uncles go to the south to explore the bottom first. It would be best if they can stay."

Then he said: "An uncle is at home, and the family's fields are still needed. Although there is a drought, Zifen and the county government have discussed a way, which is to dig a river channel and transport water directly from the canal. As long as you work diligently, the crops in the fields should not be affected!”

Now Mrs. Bai became even more excited and shook Lu Zili's wrist, "What you said is true. If we dig a river here and divert the water from the canal, there will be no more droughts and we will have water to drink?" "

Lu Zili nodded heavily, as if making a promise!

"Oh, the girls from the Ye family are so smart. Do you think this girl is the reincarnation of a fairy from the sky? She is here to save people in need in this life."

Then he let go of Lu Zili's hand, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and bowed to the outside.

"The Great Merciful and Compassionate Guanshiyin Bodhisattva asks you to be very compassionate and never allow drought to occur here!"

Lu Zili's hand was finally freed, and he sighed in his heart: 'He is indeed a man who has been working all his life. Even at such an old age, his hands are still strong. ’

Although Zi is silent and has strange powers and chaos, it would be nice if the old lady could rest assured.

Lu Zili didn't expect that he just came here to ask a few uncles what they wanted, but he actually caused his grandma to have such a big mood swing.

Bai Dazhuang said at this time: "Your second uncle and I went to the south, and your uncle stayed at home. Besides, we went to the south. What will your father do?"

Bai Xiaozhuang answered: "Isn't there still me? I will take my brother-in-law to continue collecting food."

Everyone in the room nodded, and Lu Zili reminded everyone in the Bai family: "Don't just focus on harvesting grain to make money, we still have to keep some grain in our hands. After all, no one knows whether the drought will come or how long it will last. With food in hand, at least we have a way out."

Everyone in the room nodded quickly.

Lu Zili said the matter was almost complete, and the Bai family had made a decision and said goodbye.

No one kept him. After all, it was getting late and Lu Zili hadn't eaten yet, so it was the best choice to let him go quickly.

After Lu Zili left, Mrs. Bai sent the others away, leaving only her three sons by her side.

He said: "Take out our family's money, use part of it for the traveling expenses of the boss and the second son, and use the other part to buy food. Zili is right, only with food in hand can we have a way out. Store more food this year, you guys Tomorrow we will start digging a large cellar in our yard. After buying the grain, we cannot put it on the open side, but put it directly into the cellar."

Seeing her three sons nodding, Mrs. Bai was slightly relieved.

Then he reminded: "Also, say hello to your wife, children, and tell them not to let anything slip. Disaster years are no joke. If you are not careful, your whole family's life will be involved." . And tell them to keep their mouths shut and don’t go back to their parents’ homes to behave badly. You can give them a few reminders, but they must not put their words in plain sight.”

The three sons of the Bai family nodded quickly.

On the way home, Lu Zili was also thinking about whether he should talk to Lu Dashan and Lu Li about this matter.

If it had been in the past, Lu Zili would have definitely told Lu Dashan and Lu Li as soon as possible. Even before coming to the Bai family, he decided to talk to the two elders.

But seeing Mrs. Bai's fierce reaction and thinking about Lu Dashan's body, he hesitated.

When Ye Zifen was about to fall asleep, she heard someone knocking on the door of the small courtyard.

The frequency of knocking is very high, which indicates that there is something urgent.

Ye Zifen thought of the two pregnant women in the courtyard and felt worried, so she quickly grabbed the clothes on the bed and quickly put them on before running out.

It's such a cold day at this time, what else can she do to ask everyone to help?

She opened the door to her house, still holding the ribbon on the cloak that Mrs. Feng had brought to her when she went out.

Ye Zifen's guess was correct. The person who came was knocking on the door of Shangguan Ying's courtyard.

I just walked in and saw that this person was none other than Lu Zili.

"Zili, why are you here? What happened?"

Although it was dark and couldn't see Lu Zili's expression clearly, knocking on the door so quickly showed his eagerness.

Before Lu Zili could answer, Shangguan Ying had already opened the door from the inside.

Lu Zili quickly asked Shangguan Ying for help: "Master Shangguan, please come with me to see my grandpa. He can't move now. His mouth is crooked and his eyes are squinting. I'm afraid..."

Ye Zifen frowned when he heard this.

Shangguan Ying carried a medicine box behind her and seemed to have made preparations in advance.

"Let's go, lead the way!"

Whether it was to give Ye Zifen face, or Lu Zili himself made Shangguan Ying dislike him.

Knocking on the door late at night must be an emergency. She lives in Lujiacun and if someone is sick, many people will come and knock on her door.

At this time, Mrs. Feng was already walking over here carrying two lanterns.

Zi Zifen quickly walked over, took a lantern and said to her: "Go back and rest quickly. I'll follow you to see what's going on. You don't have to wait for me. Just leave the door open. I'll close it when I come back."

Mrs. Feng nodded, tightened the cotton-padded clothes around her body, and walked back.

At this time, Ye Zimeng had already hurried over and took the medicine box from Shangguan Ying's body very naturally.

But before he could see clearly that it was Lu Zili who was knocking on the door, he said, "Let's go, master!"

Zi Zifen was concerned about the relationship between her second uncle's family and the Lu family. She walked to Zi Meng and said to him, "Uncle and grandpa from the Lu family are sick. How about I follow you and you don't go?"

Ye Zimeng didn't realize at first who the uncle and grandpa of the Lu family were. After waiting for a moment, he remembered it. Then he turned around and looked at the person behind him, and found that it was Lu Zili.

Although there was some conflict in his heart, he still said to Ye Zifen: "No, I'd better go with you!"
