Chapter 121

Xiao Zhiyin pulls Xu Qing into the room. She is here with a mission today.

"Ah Qing, I want to tell you something very important."

"If you want to talk about drought, I already know." Xu Qing didn't understand, "but how can you..."

Xiao Zhiyin said, "do you know how many fields my family has around Qingfeng town?"

Xu Qing: "how much?"

"It's not important. What's important is that the water levels of the rivers around these fields are all falling." Xiao Zhiyin looked serious and said, "if it doesn't rain, at least 90% of the fields will not be harvested this year, so I don't have any hope."

Xiao Zhiyin has always been very accurate, and Xu Qing looks dignified: "so what's your plan?"

"There are no big rivers around Qingfeng town. Once there is a drought, not only will there be no harvest, but also no water source for emergency. The water in the lotus pond in my house has reached the bottom. To be honest, I have prepared for the worst."

She said, "I gave all the servants a holiday. I closed the door of the house and moved to the Yu family with my housekeeper, three maidservants who had been with me since childhood, and Xu Yue."

Xiao Zhiyin knew that he was in the light of Xu Yue, so he didn't bring too many people.

"What about your shop?" Asked Xu Qing.

"At present, only five shops are still open. I have closed the rest of them. I also say hello to the shops that are still open. I can close and withdraw them at any time." Xiao Zhiyin has always been straightforward and resolute.

Xu Qing sighed: "Changxi village is too far away from Jizhou. It's not easy to see you in the future."

"You can move here together!" This is also the reason why Xiao Zhiyin comes to Xu Qing.

"No, forget it." Xu Qing shook his head in tears and laughter. "There are Li Jinmei and the clan leader in Changxi village. I still want to have a look again. Maybe the situation is not so bad."

Xiaozhiyin smell speech, frown way: "don't be in a hurry to refuse, you first with your husband to discuss."

"No, don't talk about it. He'll listen to me." There is a spring in Xuqing's space. Even if it's dry outside, it's OK. She has to take care of Li Jinmei and them.

Xiao Zhiyin see Xu Qing insist, also not much words, but asked: "enough money?"

"Enough. I have a lot of money now."

"Tell me if you don't have enough." Xiao Zhiyin exhorts.

In the evening, Xu Qing asked Li Changting, "will we stay in Changxi village all the time?"

Li Changting said, "well."

Xu Qing is relieved. Although she doesn't have much affection for Changxi village, Xu Qing is not familiar with it, and the original owner is that she has no good memories since childhood, but there are still people in Changxi village she cares about.

The next day, they went to the street, buying things and looking around.

Xu Qing tasted all the pastry shops in Hezhou City and said with pride, "it's not as delicious as I made it!"

Li Changting touched her head and asked, "do you want to buy some seeds?"

Xu Qing quickly nodded: "this must be, you don't say I almost forget."

They went to the seed shop and bought several bags of seeds, as well as potatoes and sweet potato chips.

It's a pity that the salt in Hezhou City is limited. Xu Qing can only buy 20 jin at most. She also bought many other ingredients, including soy sauce and vinegar.

On the third day, Xu Qing and Li Changting go back with an escort cart.

Because it's covered with the cloth of the escort agency, outsiders don't know what's in the car.

"Is there any danger on the way?" Xu Qing looks back at the escort cart behind him. There are so many things. It's hard to guarantee that no one will make up his mind.

"It's OK. Qi Feng is following." Li Changting road.

Xu Qing forgot that there was Qi Feng. With Qi Feng, she immediately felt relieved.

Probably because of their large number of people, they didn't encounter any danger along the way. The escort car drove into Qingfeng town steadily.

However, Li Changting did not let them continue to deliver them. Instead, he came to a family and unloaded everything in the car.

"I asked Qi Feng to rent it." Li Changting said in a low voice, "it's too eye-catching to bring so many things back to the village. We'll go back later when you put them all in the space."

Xu nodded.

The escorts unloaded their belongings and left. A moment later, Xu Qing went into the room and put everything in the space.

Then they went to return the rented carriage, waited for a donkey cart in zhenzikou, and rode back to the village.

"Xu Qing, where have you been?" After returning to the village, several enthusiastic villagers said hello.

Xu Qing casually found an excuse: "go to Changting to see the foot injury."

These people are doing their own business again.

Learning that Xu Qing came back, Li Jinmei sent Li Tinghui over.

"These days, many people ask me if you want to make cakes or not. Maybe they want to make some money by other means when they see that the harvest is difficult this year." Li Jinmei said.

"No, you tell them that there are many bandits of the recent generation. It's not safe outside. Even if you make cakes, you can't sell them." Xu Qingdao."Are there really many bandits outside?" Li Jinmei asked nervously.

"I don't know. I heard that. It's just an excuse. Do they believe it or not?" Thinking of what, Xu Qing asked, "by the way, how are the injuries of Li Jing and Gao Laoer?"

"The recovery is not bad. What you bought is a good wound medicine. Can't it be good?" Li Jinmei returned.

Xu Qing thought about it and decided to visit later.

She took two pieces of bacon from the cellar, each containing a jin of small cakes, and went to Li Jing's house with a basket.

Xu Qing brought something to visit, which made Aunt Li very happy, especially the large piece of bacon, which could make Li Jing well.

"Ah Qing, do you stop making cakes?" The patriarch also asked the same question as Li Jinmei. It seems that someone also asked the patriarch here.

Xu Qing replied, "wait for peace outside. I see the day is getting worse and worse. You have to make some preparations."

The patriarch nodded, but then said, "if God doesn't give people a way to live, who can do it? But living people can still make a bubble of urine suffocate. There will always be a way. Isn't there a saying that it's natural for a boat to go straight to the bridge?"

Xu Qing also thinks so. She smiles, says goodbye to the patriarch and goes to Gao Laoer's house.

Gao Laoer's son is one year older than Li Jing, but he is very thin and weak.

People who didn't know it thought the family abused the child, but in fact, Gao Laoer and his daughter-in-law wanted to hold their son in their hands and mouth!

Seeing the bacon sent by Xu Qing, Gao's second daughter-in-law thanks again and again.

Xu Qing didn't stay long before he went home. On the way, he saw that the dishes of the people in the village were growing on the ground. The water in the ditch had already dried up. Only the river near the field had water.

Xu Qing was not at ease, so he went to the river to have a look. The water level was at least half lower than before, and the current was not very big. The river was a little muddy.
