reborn idle wife

Chapter 190 The Base

Dongli happily went into the cornfield and picked out some corn whose tassels had begun to dry out, and skillfully broke them off. Nangong Xiao wanted to come in, but she stopped her. It was extremely uncomfortable to scratch the corn leaves on his face. Itching and hurting, she came in with one sleeve covering her face, thanks to the big sleeves on her body.

Old Li watched with distress as the young lady unceremoniously broke a few big corn cobs out. He dared not say anything. It’s still the first year of trial planting. Whether there is a harvest or not is their business, and that’s the lady of the host’s family. It’s not up to him, a tenant, to dictate what to do.

Dongli took his look into his eyes and sighed secretly. These farmers are just like his father. What they hate most is that others waste food, even if the food is not from their own family.

"Brother, this year is the first time to harvest. I think most of the tenants are still very unfamiliar with these things. They have been planting for so long, and they probably don't know how to eat these things. Is that right? !" Dongli thought for a while, glanced at the old farmer with an increasingly ugly face, and secretly smiled: "Besides, they have been busy for a year, and it is not easy. I think each family will share a few corn cobs first. The fresh and tender corn tastes delicious when boiled or grilled, and the children must love it, but we don’t have any good things, so we just use this ready-made thing to buy people’s hearts.”

Old Li was very surprised, but Mo Youran smiled happily: "What my sister said is true, but I ignored it. You are right. They have been busy for a year, and they only know that I made this thing, and it may be highly productive." Yes, I don’t know anything else, I should tell them to try it, so that some people will be willing to plant with us in the coming year.”

No matter how simple and stingy people are, they can’t help but want to satisfy their sons and grandchildren. Although Old Li is a little bit reluctant to give away so many corn cobs all at once, he thinks that his little grandson can taste it. This is a rare food that only rich people can afford, and I am very moved, and I can't help being in a dilemma for a while.

Looking at the troubled old man, Nangong Xiao felt extraordinarily cute: "This old man, you can take it if you give it to you. Anyway, they didn't plan to have any big harvest in the first year, they just wanted to grow it. The seeds of the next year come, isn’t this already obtained? So, take what you deserve, and if you think it’s good, just grow more in the coming year.”

"Yeah, I think you have already learned how to take care of corn this year, and it will be much easier when you plant it next year." Dongli said with a smile, and he despised himself in his heart. What's the matter, obviously Give people a little welfare, but in the end you have to persuade others to accept it.

In the end, Old Li accepted the gift from the master happily. Dongli told him how to eat the fresh corn, and then looked at the corn all over the ground with emotion: "About the fifteenth day of August, the corn It can be harvested, when the time comes, the outer skin will be peeled off, dried in the sun, and then it needs to be threshed and ground into flour, which can be made into steamed buns or porridge, whatever you want to eat is up to you.”

At this moment, Old Li didn't have such serious awe of this fairy-like lady, and he interrupted cheerfully: "We heard that the yield of this kind of corn is particularly high, so we all waited and waited to see it." Well, the big rich people around here often come to have a look, and plan to wait for us to harvest, if the corn is really as good as the young master said, they will also plant some."

Dongli nodded: "It's a good thing to have a high yield. Everyone can eat enough. But this corn is a coarse grain. It's good to taste it occasionally. If you eat it every day, it's not as good as rice and white noodles."

"Hey! There's not enough food every year. In times of calamity, people gnaw on the bark. Who cares about that?" Old Li didn't mind about it. What kind of coarse grains are not coarse grains, and those fine grains are only available to the rich If they eat every day, it's not bad for their poor families to be able to eat, so why care about that?
After Dongli heard this, his heart was moved. Although these things are coarse grains, they can't increase the high yield. Those ordinary people don't care about coarse grains and fine grains. As long as they can fill their stomachs, it is enough, and Chu Liangchen After the trouble there, or this year, or next year, there will inevitably be large-scale disasters. Even if the original restoration eliminates most of them, it cannot be completely eliminated.

When the time comes, the people who will be displaced will be the common people. They will have to eat and wear clothes. However, if disasters happen, they will not even be able to solve their own food and clothing problems. I am afraid that there will be big troubles.

No, this question must not be taken lightly, and she couldn't care less about looking at any more corn, so she pulled Nangong Xiao to the carriage with a pale face: "Brother, I suddenly remembered a very important matter, we have to immediately Go back and discuss with your father, and then leave."

Mo Youran looked at them in surprise, and left after talking?He was in a hurry, and he didn't say what was going on, so he had to tell Old Li about the corn cobs in each family, and he hurriedly chased after the carriage. The driver seemed to sense the urgency of the master, and immediately waved Whip drove the carriage back, Dongli pursed her lips tightly, with a serious expression, Nangong Xiao grabbed her clenched hand, and was stunned under the tentacles. In such a hot weather, her palms were cold, and she kept on My son was in a cold sweat.

"Dongli, what's the matter with you?" Nangong Xiao felt uneasy, and put his hand on her forehead, which was also sticky and cold, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock: "What's the matter with you? Are you sick?" ? Hurry up, hurry up! Hurry back to the manor to ask the doctor!"

Dongli held Nangong Xiao's hand tremblingly, and said inarticulately: "Master, Mr. Xiang, something is going to happen, something is going to happen."

Mo Youran was also anxious, seeing her sister in a trance as if she had been frightened by something, she poked her head out and shouted at the driver: "Hurry up, hurry back home!"

Today is the first day of Mrs. Xu's treatment in Mo Mansion. When they went back, Mrs. Xu had already finished her medicinal bath, drank a bowl of thick soup and was basking outside in the sun. She saw her daughter, son-in-law and son rushing in. , I was startled, thinking that something serious happened: "What's wrong? Why is your face so ugly, Dongli?" Could it be that Nangong Xiao surpassed Meng Lang last night, and my daughter has no energy today?
Dongli didn't wake up suddenly until he saw Xu's worried expression, his expression recovered a little, and he smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, I felt dizzy after basking in the sun for a while, and came back. It's all their fuss, I How can you be so delicate?"

"Your girl, you are too brave, go back to your room and rest." Xu relieved her heart, tapped her forehead angrily, turned her head to Nangong Xiao, and said awkwardly, "Young man, even if he is full of energy, You have to be more restrained, the days to come will be long, don't lose your health."

Nangong Xiao didn't realize it for a while, and he didn't realize it suddenly until he said Xie and followed Dongli for a distance. Didn't the mother-in-law mean to persuade him not to be too brave?

"Let's go to find father, don't call the doctor, I'm fine." Dongli took a deep breath twice, and calmed down: "Let's go, we will talk about it after we find father."

Mr. Mo accompanied Xu's medical treatment today, and now he left to write big characters in the study as usual, when his son, daughter and son-in-law barged in, and closed the door after entering, mysteriously.

"What is this for?" Master Mo blew on the words he had written, put the brush on the pen stand, and then raised his eyes to look at them: "After so long, what happened?"

"Father, it's extremely urgent!" Dongli rushed forward and pulled his slow father out from behind the desk: "We must stock up on food quickly, no, not only food, I think it's better to find a remote place quickly, When the time comes, move away directly, so as not to be implicated."

"Talk slowly, father-in-law doesn't know anything yet." Nangong Xiao pulled his wife back, and gently patted her on the back: "Talk slowly, what's the matter?"

"Sanggong, do you still remember? Didn't Chu Liangchen say that soon the land of Kyushu will undergo huge changes, and disasters will occur frequently. Although he was stopped as before, but failed in the end, the ceremony has already started after all. I think I mean, next year at the latest, there will probably be clues, when the people will be in dire straits, and there will be big troubles."

Nangong Xiao's expression became serious. He hadn't thought about the seriousness of this issue yet. Chu Liangchen failed in Ruchu's last stop. They always thought that those disasters might not happen again, but they were afraid of everything. In case, as Dongli said, those disasters were not avoided, but mitigated or delayed, what they will face will be a mess full of holes.

After listening to the general idea, Master Mo stroked his beard: "Since the Holy Majesty has learned about it, he will definitely take corresponding precautionary measures, but we can't pin our hopes on one person, and there must be things to do." Leave a way out for their own family, not to mention that Emperor Jinxuan has become more and more stupid in recent years, and they have offended the king of a country. At that time, they are afraid that Emperor Jinxuan will take this opportunity to give them little shoes to wear: "We have no other way , and start preparing for retreat now. On the one hand, we want to collect food and hoard it, and on the other hand, we try our best to find some suitable places to hide, so that we can have a shelter when we fall into chaos in the future. But these two things must be as quiet as possible Others can only do it secretly."

Several juniors nodded their heads one after another, but Nangong Xiao was thoughtful, and Master Mo saw it: "Does Xiao Er have any other thoughts?"

Nangong Xiao didn't hide it: "I was thinking about Liaodong that Dongli said before. If it is really like what Dongli said, the land is fertile and suitable for planting crops, and there is a lot of land and sparsely populated, and the distance is far away. The Zhenbei Army is stationed very close, and it is convenient for rescue at any time, and we can also take this opportunity to absorb some displaced people to help us develop Liaodong."

Nangong Xiao's words were like a key, which suddenly opened a door in their hearts, and the eyes of several people lit up at the same time.
