Married a scholar

▍I'm a little worried.

Meng Yining returned home after leaving Grandma Yu's house. He had already notified the three major clans about this matter, and what to do next was out of his control.

The house was cleaned up by Aunt He, son, mother and daughter. Miss He Fangfang was in the kitchen looking at the pot cooking mung bean soup, and Aunt He was cutting cloth and making clothes in the main room.

Seeing the two people coming back, he quickly moved the stool over, "Master, sit down and rest for a while."

He Fangyi went to the kitchen to scoop up some water for Meng Yining to wash. The two of them did not simply go up the mountain to recognize the fields. Although there were people working in the fields on the mountain, Meng Yining also asked He Fangyi to try to turn over the fields by himself. Coupled with the hot weather, the two of them were sweating a little after walking all this way.

After Meng Yining washed his hands, he sat for a while, and then planned to visit the house next door. "Brother Yi, you don't need to follow, you are here to help your mother make your clothes first."

The whole family wears that suit.

The homestead where the new house is to be built is about 50 meters away from the old house. This area has now been bought by Meng Yining and the others. Except for the homestead where the house will be built, Meng Yining plans to keep the rest for other uses in the future.

In the last days, if he can help for a while, he will definitely not help forever. After they can save themselves, they will definitely not exchange grain with him. After that, the grain produced by his fields will be a little too much.

He wanted to help the front-line barracks, but he also knew that not anyone could meddle in the military supply if they wanted to, so it had to be considered in the long run.It's okay if you donate freely.

But the donation must also have a good name, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble.

But it's still a little too early to think about it now, and the end of the world probably won't be able to do without his food assistance for a while.

When Meng Yining arrived, He Chengye was asking people to build thatched cottages.

Seeing Meng Yining approaching, Xia Wenze pulled him to his side, "Why don't you rest at home." There is no shade here either.

"I'll come and take a look." Seeing that everyone was busy digging the foundation, Meng Yining thought that more people are more powerful. "When I came back, I passed by the Zhao family's ancestral graves, and found that several of them had been stolen. I notified the Xia family and the Meng family."

Xia Wenze frowned when he heard the words, and also felt a little disgusted with these people, "I don't need to worry about this matter after I've been notified." He knew Brother Ning's ability, but he didn't want him to take this matter on himself.

"Yeah." Meng Yining didn't plan to take care of this, "Go back?" Xia Wenze didn't need him to stay here, he bought He Chengye and the others to let them take care of things, so that Xia Wenze and himself could have a good rest.

"Okay." Xia Wenze asked He Chengye and his son to watch here, and went back to call them if something happened, and then pulled Meng Yining away.

"The seeds at home should have been soaked." All the field workers are quick. Thirty acres of land may seem like a lot, but it will only take three or four days to do it.

"It's almost there." He looked at it in the morning, "It can be planted tomorrow." He doesn't need to look at the field, but the field needs to look at it.

After returning home, Xia Wenze gave He Fangyi some money, "Go to the town and buy some oilcloth."

"Okay." He Fangyi took the money and went to the town.

Meng Yining followed Xia Wenze into the study room, "What is the manager of the homestead at the moment and his son is watching, you save time to read and practice calligraphy, if you feel tired, we will go around again."

It's not that he wanted Xia Wenze to come back with a test, he just knew that this was Xia Wenze's pursuit, and he didn't want him to delay his time because of these trivial matters.

"Okay." Xia Wenze pulled Meng Yining into his arms and hugged her.

After that, the two settled down separately, and Xia Wenze sat on the desk reading a book, and practiced calligraphy for a while when he was tired from reading.

Meng Yining was holding the crystal nucleus in his left hand to absorb, and was reading a book in his right hand.This is a book about the development of this world, and some unofficial histories of famous people are occasionally interspersed in it, which is quite interesting.

In the main room, Aunt He and He Fangfang were subconsciously working lightly.

Miss He Fangfang glanced at the direction of the study, and whispered to her mother-in-law, "Mother, I like this place." The two young masters were very kind, and when her brother came back to fetch water, she could tell that he was very happy.

Aunt He's eyes were full of smiles, "Well, we will be here in the future, you have to be obedient." Thinking of what the Lord said at noon, she felt motivated all over her body.

He Fangfang nodded fiercely, "I will be very obedient." She will be obedient and help out more.

After ten days and half a month of such busy work, the bought fields have already been planted with seeds, and Jiajiao Mountain has also been cleared.Meng Yining handed over to He Fangliang the purchase of fruit trees and fry.

During the period, Aunt Xia Wenze had a commotion at the homestead, but in the end Meng Yining didn't make a move, so she was scolded by the workers at the time and sent home.

Meng Yining had long seen Xia Bin and the two brothers of the Xia family who were working on the homestead. Except for the boss of the Xia family who worked hard with a hammer, the other two worked fairly diligently.

As long as he doesn't act like a monster, Meng Yining doesn't bother to talk to them.

Aunt Xia Wenze wanted Xia Wenze to arrange a job for his father, but Xia Wenze refused.He knows better than anyone else what his own father's virtues are. He doesn't have any great skills, and he always feels that he is very good.

What's more, what's in charge on the homestead side, the five cousins ​​are watching over the brick kiln, and the fourth cousin is watching over the mountain. It's impossible for him to remove these capable people and arrange his incompetent father there. .

Aunt Xia Wenze came to the homestead and caught Xia Wenze and Meng Yining, who had just finished reading a book, and Meng Yining, but before Meng Yining made a secret move, she was slapped by Manager He with a few words and went back without saying anything. Also followed suit.

He scolded the person directly and sent him home.

Meng Yining was watching the play on the sidelines.

After that, there was no trouble there again, and Xia Bin and the three who worked hard on the homestead did not drive them away. As long as they worked hard, it was not that he could not tolerate them.

It is already very hot for people in the south in May.

Meng Yining looked at Xia Wenze who had just returned from the field, "Drink some water first." From the beginning of spring to now, there was a light rain just two days before the original owner's death, and it has been more than a month now, but there has been no more rain. next rain.

Everyone in the village is a little anxious, afraid that this year will be the same as the previous two years, with few rains throughout the year.

It's okay for them to rely on a river, and they can harvest some food when they work hard to harvest in autumn. It's just that this year after year is always worrying.

"The seedlings have grown a lot." Xia Wenze firstly checked the water level in the river, and secondly, looked at the growth of the seedlings. "I'm afraid this year will not be very good."

The water level of the river they are leaning on has been slowly declining since the past two years, and it has dropped a lot this year.

"The fourth uncle said that there may be a drought in the south." The source of their river is the Dayu River. If the water in the Dayu River is good, the water in their river will be good.Now the water level only drops but not rises year after year. I am afraid that there is a shortage of water in the south.

"Where did Uncle Si know?" If there was a drought in the south, it shouldn't have spread to Shangyao Village.

Meng Yining has read all the miscellaneous books in Xia Wenze's study, and naturally knows that the area of ​​this world is larger than the earth. The area of ​​the Northern Jin Dynasty alone includes the area of ​​Huaguo and Russia in their world. slightly larger.

Shangyao Village is in the south, but it is also on the edge of the south.

"I heard it from those grave robbers."

"Fang Fang came back today and said that those grave robbers were arrested?"

This incident has been going on in the neighborhood for half a month, and not only their village suffered, but more than a dozen nearby villages had their ancestral graves dug up. Last time, the patriarchs of the Xia family and the Meng family took people to visit and found that their own ancestral graves were also different. The extent of it was stolen, and the bones were thrown everywhere.

For this reason, there was a lot of trouble in the village, and later people were invited to come back to perform rituals to invite the ancestor's bones back, and the tomb was rebuilt.It's just that I didn't put any funerary objects in it this time.

"I caught it." Xia Wenze said: "Those people came from further south. It is said that there has not been a single rain in their place since June last year. Not to mention, when the autumn harvest was about to be harvested, they encountered an earth dragon turning over. Not anymore. Some ancestors in their village had tomb robbers, so they thought of coming here to rob tombs."

"Did you go back and look at it halfway?" Maybe there was nothing wrong, but Meng Yining also knew that it might be true.From the memory of the original owner, he knew that since the year before last, the rain here has been getting less and less every year. Since the beginning of spring this year, it has only rained once, which is the rain that took away the original owner, and it was not too big, at most It was a light rain.

"No." Xia Wenze wiped his face with a handkerchief, "Si Bo said that he has to go to the county town to inquire about it tomorrow." If there is a drought in the southernmost part, they have to prepare early.

First of all, we must find a way to store more water, and we must protect the river.

Meng Yining didn't have any good solution for this matter, he was not a water-type supernatural being, so he couldn't use his supernatural power to produce water.

The next night, just after dinner, they heard the sound of gongs coming from the sunba.

Knowing that the village head had something to call for a meeting, the two of them didn't delay much, and they closed the courtyard door and walked towards the sunba.

Manager He's family also came over, waiting for the two at the door, "Master, young master."

"Well, let's go and listen together." Xia Wenze pulled Meng Yining ahead, "It's probably about the drought in the south."

"Looking at it this way, the news might be true." Otherwise, the village chief wouldn't have knocked on the gong to call everyone into a meeting.

When a few people arrived, many people had already come to the dam, and everyone was talking in low voices about what the village chief called them for a meeting.

Some of the faces who knew the inside story were a little dignified.

Meng Yining and the two found a seat closer to the front. Someone saw them coming and greeted them with a smile, "Brother Ning is also here."

"Well." The two greeted everyone they knew one by one. During this period of time, many people in the village were more enthusiastic about them than before because of the fact that their family was looking for someone to work for.

Seeing that the people came almost at the same time, the village chief knocked the gong in his hand on the stone pillar beside the sun dam.
