Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Wan Shufang collected her thoughts and slowly explained her intentions to Chen Changli.

"There was a locust plague just a few days ago, and the earth has been scorching today. Although drought is very likely to happen, no one can predict when it will come."

"We don't have enough food at home, so I want to use some medicinal materials to exchange for money, and then exchange the money for food to go home and stock up."

"But the herbs in the mountains grow in season, and our whole family will be dug out if we go out. We might as well plant medicinal herbs."

Wan Shufang said this with a slight smile in her voice.

"I specifically asked the shopkeeper of the medicine shop for medicinal seeds that are drought-resistant and easy to survive. Their growth time is also very short, and a batch of medicinal materials can be harvested in less than two months."

"Two months is not a long time, and we may have many more."

"As long as we have money and food, even if a drought strikes, we can cope with it."

Specially emphasizing the last sentence, Wan Shufang looked at Chen Changli with a cheerful smile, very sure that he would agree to her.

Seeing the confident smile on her face, Chen Changli held back his violent heartbeat, turned back his complicated eyes and nodded: "If the medicinal materials grow quickly and in a short time, everything will develop as you think. And this This is a great thing for our family. Not only will I not stop you, I will also find ways to help you grow medicinal materials."

Hearing this, Wan Shufang said excitedly: "Let's start taking action tomorrow, but only the two of us know about the food harvesting."

After stroking her chin and thinking for a while, Wan Shufang decided not to tell anyone else about the grain storage, and immediately said: "To be safer, we have to dig additional cellars to store grain."

"Do you dig at home?" Dig a cellar to store grain? Chen Changli couldn't help but be curious about her thoughts and became more and more interested in her, and his body unconsciously tilted in her direction.

Feeling that her position suddenly became narrow, Wan Shufang felt panicked for no reason.

She was about to scold.

However, Chen Changli seemed to realize that the distance was inappropriate, and he straightened his body and moved away from Wan Shufang.

As he moved away, Wan Shufang suddenly felt that the faint scent of green grass was getting farther and farther away from her.

Until she could no longer smell it, she felt a sense of loss.

"With so many people at home, if you make any noise, everyone can hear it." To resolve the inexplicable emotions in her heart, Wan Shufang hurriedly spoke, "Besides, the family has not been peaceful recently, and it is really difficult to hide some important things at home. I plan to dig a hole at a location on the mountain, and then the two of us will secretly transport the food up there."

Sifang Village seemed very peaceful now, but she had a hunch in her heart that this calm was a sign of the coming storm.

She didn't dare to put more food at home, for fear that the villagers would focus on her home because there was no food at home.

"What you said makes sense. Is there anything you're optimistic about now? If I didn't accompany you to the mountain," Chen Changli said thoughtfully, as the locust plague had not completely erupted and had some impact.

But there are a lot of smart people in this world, and it won't take long for someone to realize it.

Wan Shufang's idea of ​​stocking food in advance was a good one, and he had to cooperate.

"That's what I meant." Wan Shufang was smiling, but she didn't want to put the cart before the horse and added, "I have to dig up the ground in the field, plant the medicinal seeds, and then go up the mountain."

Chen Changli agreed immediately, and the next day he took his family's labor force to plow the fields.

Wan Shufang stayed at home to soak the medicinal seeds. In the afternoon, she estimated that the ground was almost plowed, so she took someone to plant the seeds.

The family worked together for several days before all the fields were finished.

Wan Shufang asked Chen Tao to patrol the fields when he had time, and then took Wu Qiaoyue and the others up the mountain to collect medicinal materials.

Chen Changli naturally followed, and then the two of them observed the terrain in the mountains while no one was paying attention.

Not wanting to sacrifice the near for the distant, the couple unanimously decided to dig a cave at the foot of the mountain closest to their home.

Because digging caves is hard work, Chen Changli was not willing to let Wan Shufang work even a single minute, so he did the work alone.

He often goes out at night and comes back in the morning.

Wan Shufang saw that he was very tired when he came back every morning. She was afraid that he would be exhausted, so she directly took over the kitchen work and made some nourishing medicinal meals for him.

It's a pity that a good woman can't make a meal without rice. The so-called medicinal diet is just that she took some medicinal materials from the hospital and mixed them with nutritious wild vegetables to make soup for him.

Wan Shufang was a little embarrassed when she served such a simple soup to Chen Changli.

Chen Changli did not dislike it, but slowly drank the soup as if he was tasting something delicious.

Wan Shufang looked at him tasting the food several times and felt her face burning up.

Fortunately, Chen Changli has been a soldier for ten years, and his physical fitness is much better than that of ordinary people.

It only took him four days to get out the cave Wan Shufang wanted.

Wan Shufang specially followed him to take a look at it at night. She felt that the size was very suitable and it was very hidden.

She began to increase her efforts in collecting medicinal materials, and then took medicinal materials from the hospital and sold them every two days.

Then he gave the money to Chen Changli and asked him to buy food secretly.

The couple cooperated so well that no one in the Chen family noticed.

However, the matter of Wan Shufang growing medicinal materials made Chen Hai and his wife feel very unhappy.

Especially Chen Hai, who thinks too highly of himself, thinks that Wan Shufang is having a whim and is wasting everyone's hard work.

He originally wanted to stop this matter, but what surprised him was that Chen Changli actually agreed with Wan Shufang's decision.

He couldn't believe it and felt that his face might be humiliated. He hid in the study every day and didn't want to go anywhere.

Bai Lian is pregnant and does not want to go to the fields to taint her identity.

They were the most idle couple. They didn't work and still ate too much. Wang Xiaohui had some objections.

She felt that she had performed well during this period and couldn't help but go to Wan Shufang to complain: "Mom, the third couple have done nothing during this period, but they eat more than us. This is too much." It’s not fair anymore.”

"Hmph, the third child also said that he wants to make money by copying books. How can he make money without even leaving the house? Mom, you have to ask the third child to see what he wants to do. We can't be so busy that they can just sit back and enjoy the results. .”

Wang Xiaohui's face turned green with anger at the end.

She hadn't been this tired since giving birth to the twins.

Seeing Bai Lian swaying here and there with her bulging belly, waiting to be served like a wealthy lady, she felt very unbalanced.

Wan Shufang has been very busy recently, and she really didn't pay much attention to the situation of Chen Hai and his wife for a while.

After hearing Wang Xiaohui's indignant words and thinking of the situation of Chen Hai and his wife, Wan Shufang was also dissatisfied but could understand the reason why they did this.

It's just that he is there because he is a scholar, and he doesn't want to work like a mud-legged person.

Although what Lao San and his wife did was wrong, Wang Xiaohui didn't have any good intentions.

Wan Shufang immediately said: "The third child is a scholar. He is about to take the imperial examination. In his heart, the imperial examination is more important. Even if I am his mother, there is nothing I can do to persuade him. My wife, the second child, you are the smartest in the family." You might as well go and persuade him."

Wang Xiaohui looked confused: "Mom, are you kidding me?"
