After marrying the rough man Orion, the little peasant girl was spoiled

"Ms. sir, we still have half a month at most." She held the rough man's hand and said, "Let's keep one month's worth of food for ourselves."

At the beginning, I only stocked up on rice and noodles for four months.

If the estimate is correct, the rain in September should fall in a few days, but now people can no longer bear it.

Cheng Huai stared at her quietly for a moment, put his arms around her body, lowered his head and touched her forehead, "Daughter-in-law, don't tell anyone else this."

He knew that his wife was a little different from others, and she could always know something in advance.

But just say these things to him, no one else can say them.

"Don't tell me, my husband will think of a way to put the grain at the entrance of the village where food is distributed."

Their family can't just give out food, otherwise everyone will come looking for it.

A big fat piece of meat will be eaten by hungry wolves.

"Okay, let's get up and have breakfast first." He bent down and put on her shoes, and Cheng Huai carried her out.

The fragrance of rice porridge wafted faintly from behind, and several children in the main room couldn't help but swallowed their saliva and looked behind.

Mrs. He grabbed several children and said, "Be obedient and don't run around."

The adults and children just stayed in the house without moving.

After scooping out the porridge for the ginger seedlings, Cheng Huai went to pack the rice.

The sack is placed under the basket to prevent rice from leaking out, and the sack is also covered on top.

There was only half a basket with some inconspicuous things on top.

Jiang Miao put down the bowl and went to the side to get a knife for chopping wood and handed it to him, "Mr. Master, be careful when you go out."

"Okay." Cheng Huai took the hatchet and raised his hand to touch her head, "Daughter-in-law, I'll be back in a quarter of an hour."

The man picked up his things and went out. Jiang Miao finished her meal and went to the front. Seeing He and a few children still there, she asked: "Aunt He, isn't it the time for food distribution at the entrance of the village? Why are you still here?"

Mrs. He was stunned for a moment, then immediately pulled the child to stand up, with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, thank you!"

She took the child and ran out in a hurry.

Yu Ying watched her walk away and immediately closed half of the door, "Miao girl, do we still have enough food?"

"That's enough, don't worry, mother." Jiang Miao looked at the slightly dark clouds on the horizon.

Sometimes I know it’s coming, but I still feel it’s hard.

A quarter of an hour later, Cheng Huai came back.

Jiang Miao walked over and patted the hem of his clothes, "Mr. sir, are you okay?"

"It's okay." The man turned his head and wiped his sweat, then took the handkerchief handed over by Jiang Miao and continued to wipe it.

Cheng Huai pulled Jiang Miao to sit down and said in a rough voice: "Daughter-in-law, the county magistrate said that the rice merchants in the town have stocked up a lot of rice and are selling it at a high price."

"How much is a catty?"

"One tael of silver." Jiang Miao was dumbfounded and went to grab it.

Where can I get rice now? I guess I hoarded it before and now sell it at a high price.

Ordinary families don't know if they can earn one tael of silver a year. Nowadays, it costs so much to eat a pound of rice. How many of them can afford it?
Even the county magistrate can't afford it.

But the world is in chaos, and the government has nothing to do with these people. They are all local snakes and hire a group of thugs to guard them. The people can only queue up to buy food.

"What is the county magistrate's plan?"

Cheng Huai pursed his lower lip and fell silent.

Jiang Miao straightened his collar and asked doubtfully: "Steal? Or rob him?"

If you can't afford it, that's all.

"Stealing." The man said solemnly, "They went there last night and almost got caught because they didn't steal the food."

Jiang Miao raised her hand and stroked her chest. It was not easy to be a county magistrate. "Did he ask his husband for help?" Jiang Miao asked in a positive tone.

The county magistrate recently caught her man having sex.

"Ms. sir, try another way so you can't steal it this way."

We all know there is a thief, how could we not keep a good watch on it? If we try to steal again, it will only be more dangerous.

The rough man thought for a while and nodded, "I need to find another way."

Jiang Miao touched his ear and spoke, and soon the man held his face and kissed him.

"Ms. sir, the child is still here." Jiang Miao quickly pushed him away, knowing that the two of them probably had the same idea, which was why the rough man came to kiss him so excitedly.

After dinner the next morning, Cheng Huai closed the door and went to town with his knife.

He didn't return until noon, carrying a small bag of rice.

Jiang Miao knew that the method was probably working.

Let a few people spend money to buy rice, and then change people to set up stalls to sell rice at low prices. They sell it repeatedly. The people who buy it are also people who have been arranged by the government a long time ago. In addition, they have people spread the news that it is going to rain, and the price of food. It slowly dropped.

Naturally, there won't be much rain on the first day, but after a few more days, those vendors won't be able to hold on for long.

What's more, there are indeed vague signs of change outside.

As long as it rains, this short-term disaster will be over.

Just thinking about the future, Jiang Miao couldn't help but frown.

Three days later, the price of rice in the town dropped a lot, and ordinary people could buy some.

Cheng Huai came in carrying a few pigeons from outside. When he saw the woman bowing slightly to teach Jiang Si and Xiaobao how to read, his eyes softened.

"Daughter-in-law, I will make pigeon braised rice for you at noon." He said aloud, bending down to pick up Dabao who was playing with mud next to him, his tone was a little more serious, "Go and wash your hands in the back."

Jiang Miao looked up and curled her eyes, "Did your husband go to the mountain?"

"Well, I shot a few pigeons." The man took dates from his arms and gave them to her, "I'll get the pigeons and fry some cabbage."

Jiang Miao raised her hand and plucked off the leaves on his head, "Mr. sir, I left some sugar water for you on the stove. Drink it before making it."

"Okay, sit down and don't move around." He helped her sit down and saw her continuing to teach the children how to read, and quickly went to the back.

After a while, Yu Ying grabbed a handful of wild vegetables from outside and came back, "Miao Yatou, you dug something good."

"Mom, where did you go to dig wild vegetables?" Jiang Miao felt helpless.

There is still some chaos outside, but Yu Ying can't sit still and occasionally goes out to dig wild vegetables.

"I went with them to dig in the ravine outside the village. It was quite cool there and the wild vegetables grew well, but it was a pity that they were gone after grabbing a handful." There were many people grabbing it, so it was not easy to grab a handful.

Jiang Miao fanned her and said, "Mom, my husband shot pigeons. Let's eat pigeon meat for lunch."

"We have meat for lunch, I have to go and take a look." Yu Ying's eyes lit up and she went to the back holding the wild vegetables.

Dabao and Xiaobao quickly followed up and held Yu Ying's hand.

Jiang Si buried his head in writing, still looking like a ghost drawing talismans.

Jiang Miao stretched out her hand and rubbed his head, "Wouldn't Master say something like that to you?"

"Sister, there are people who write worse than me." Jiang Si raised his head slightly.

Jiang Miao glanced at him, pinched his cheek, and said with an angry smile: "You are still proud."

Jiang Si grinned, "My brother-in-law also praised me for my good writing."

"Your brother-in-law is trying to coax you." Jiang Miao didn't say anything more. Smelling the fragrance behind her, she urged Jiang Si to wash her hands while she went to get a bowl and chopsticks.

Cheng Huai tasted the rice and saw Jiang Miao coming in. He broke off a pigeon leg and gave it to her. He said softly in a deep voice: "Daughter-in-law, have a taste."
