Chapter 193 A Different Kind of Weather
The work of burning charcoal is in full swing every day, and Su Xiaomu goes to monitor the work every other day, so that they can burn as much carbon as they can with the fastest progress.

It's just that today she just wore ordinary clothes and came here from Zhumeng Xiaozhu, and felt the wind blowing against her face made her feel cold, making her hands and feet, which were not very warm, faintly colder and colder.

"It just rained yesterday, and the temperature has dropped a lot. Next time Mrs. Su comes over, remember to wear more clothes. Don't accidentally catch the wind and cold. Then it will be quite uncomfortable."

A worker who was familiar with Su Xiaomu happened to drink tea during the break, so he stood in place to move his hands and feet, and talked to Su Xiaomu by the way.

"It's only October now... Will it get hotter in a few days? It should be cold for a while."

Although Su Xiaomu used to live in a place where cold and hot seasons were distinct, she remembered that winter didn't come so quickly, and the autumn tiger would last for a long time.

But here... Su Xiaomu doesn't know much about it.

After all, this was her first winter here.

"If we follow the usual practice... It is true that it will be hotter for a while later, but this year's rain is strange, and today is much colder than yesterday. It may be colder this year, and it is not clear."

After the worker drank the tea in his hand, he took a rest for a while, then nodded with Su Xiaomu, and then continued to burn charcoal.

"It is said that one autumn rain and one cold, ten autumn rains wear cotton, and I don't know if the cotton clothes I ordered will arrive before the weather turns completely cold."

Su Xiaomu kept rubbing his hands together, breathed into his palms, and felt a little irritable.

She was inexplicably startled, and then thought that if the weather turned cold too abnormally...would there be some...disasters?
disaster...

When Su Xiaomu thought of these two words, she woke up instantly. The panic and irritability in her heart was even better than the locust plague back then. It was the first time she felt this way since she came here for so long.

So Su Xiaomu went back to the small courtyard non-stop to look for Gu Jingcheng, grabbed the book in his hand as soon as he entered the door, met his puzzled eyes and said: "The temperature has dropped in the past two days...you are smarter than me, tell me Isn't winter coming?"

"Winter? It's only October now."

Gu Jingcheng didn't know why she asked such a question, he raised his hand to smooth her messy hair for her, his eyes were gentle, and his tone was gentle: "Why are you asking me like that all of a sudden? Could it be that something happened?"

It is rare for Gu Jingcheng to see Su Xiaomu flustered like this. He stroked her little head again and again: "In winter, it should not be so fast."

"If it wasn't for the accelerated change of seasons and the cold snap, then the weather would be too abnormal..."

Su Xiaomu didn't get the answer she wanted from Gu Jingcheng, but she already had thoughts and ideas in her heart.

Then his eyes were firm, and he said to him without any doubts from Gu Jingcheng: "I'm going to prepare some things for my mother and the others. You write a letter to her immediately, and ask her to go to the city to stock up on food immediately after receiving the letter. It's not just food, Things to keep warm in the winter are indispensable, right! Tell her not to worry about money, and buy as much as she has, in case of emergency, I will also send her some money. "

Su Xiaomu already had a guess in her heart, she didn't dare to gamble with the lives of so many people, and she never thought that her meager manpower could compete with nature.

So when she is in danger, she can only keep everyone she wants to keep within the maximum range of her ability.

She, Li Shi, and other members of the Gu family, after nearly a year of getting along, Su Xiaomu has completely regarded them as people close to him.

She likes the children born to Chen Shi and Yin Shi very much, and also likes to respect Li Shi and Mr. Gu.

There are also Gu Hai and Gu Feng, who are also two respectable laborers who have been relying on their own abilities to support their families.

The environment in ancient times was harsh, and it was not so easy for everyone to survive in modern times, so Su Xiaomu had already decided that she would do something for this bad feeling in her heart.

"Do you think that the change in the weather...would prevent the autumn harvest from going smoothly? Or is it the severe cold this year?"

Gu Jingcheng has written so many articles for the people's livelihood, and he himself was born in the countryside, so he knows that if the metaphor in Su Xiaomu's words just now means what he thinks, then... Fucheng and even the country will have another day soon It's a catastrophe!

"I don't know." Su Xiaomu shook her head in disbelief, her face was dazed, she looked at Gu Jingcheng with wide eyes, with hesitation and shrinking inside, "It's just some hunch that hasn't been confirmed yet, In addition to Mother and the others, we also have to find a way to stockpile food, not only for our own livelihood, but also for the consideration of the common people in the future."

Su Xiaomu knew that the situation this time was different from the last time.

During the locust plague, everyone was able to listen to her because they clearly found insect eggs in the field. Although Guochao, or Fucheng, hadn’t seen a locust plague for a long time, did any elderly people experience such a situation? During the period, everyone knew more or less about the locust plague.

But natural disasters are different.

It may be a frog boiled in warm water, or it may be menacing.

"You want to stockpile food...what do you need me to do for you?"

Gu Jingcheng asked Su Xiaomu that he was concerned and wanted to do something for her with his modest strength.

Suddenly he regretted why he broke his legs at this time. If he had healthy legs now, he would be able to take care of her business with Su Xiaomu and share her worries.

However, good luck and bad luck depended on it. At that time, in order to get rid of Lin Yuemei, he couldn't have both, he always had to pay something.

Gu Jingcheng thought wildly for a while, and after he pulled his thoughts back, Su Xiaomu happened to start telling him about her plan.

Su Xiaomu is talking about this matter very seriously, her eyes are full of firmness and strength, she is trying her best to suppress the restlessness in her heart, and try not to let such negative emotions bring her To Gu Jingcheng.

And he also understood her thoughts, he could vaguely sense it, so he raised his hand and patted her shoulder peacefully, comforting Su Xiaomu: "Don't worry, tell me slowly, I will discuss this matter in detail Go to the city and talk to the master, and then the master will talk to the county magistrate."

"Okay... The main reason for this matter is that there is no reason for it. I can't tell everyone that I let them hoard food because I feel uneasy, and if there is no plan, hoarding food rashly will only cause turmoil in the city, so I will trouble you with the discretion.”

Su Xiaomu has always believed that professional people do professional things.
