Song Nan picked up a chicken leg and waved it in front of an angry child: "Do you want to eat it?"

Xiao Song Hao ignored her, turned around and continued eating.

Seeing that he was still angry, Song Nan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"If you really don't want to eat it, then I will eat it? No matter how angry you are, the fruit will also go into my stomach, but this is the last chicken leg, it's delicious~"

A bowl was immediately put in front of Song Nan's eyes.

"eat!"

Song Hao's face was still stained with tears. When he saw the chicken legs in his bowl, he suddenly smiled.

After coaxing the child, Song Nan sat back at the table.

"There is a lot less water flowing down the mountain. My second brother will follow me up the mountain tomorrow morning to have a look. You two should store more water in the water tank at home. I think it is getting hotter and hotter these days."

Father Song finished his meal and explained tomorrow's affairs with a frown.

Song Bai didn't take it seriously: "Isn't it like this in previous years? When summer comes, there is less water. Maybe in a month we will have to carry water from the river to water the fields. Fortunately, I don't have escorts in these two months, so I can help at home. "

"This year is different. It hasn't rained for half a month." Song's father shook his head. "There are a lot less prey outside the mountains. The weather is hot and dry, so they should all hide in the mountains."

"Would you like to buy some food?"

Song's mother looked very unhappy, as if she had thought of something.

Dou Xiaomei and Liu Qiaoer also looked worried.

The unusual reaction of the animals made the Song family very worried.

Only Song Nan and her two nieces and nephews did not react and continued to cook.

Brother and sister Song Hao didn't quite understand what the adults were talking about, but Song Nan knew why such a thing happened.

The lean year has come.

Half a month without rain is nothing. It will not rain in the next two or three months.

The weather will only get hotter and hotter, the fields will dry up, and the rivers will dry up. People can only drag their families and families away from their hometowns.

Thinking of the ending of the Song family in the book, Song Nan couldn't eat anymore.

"Buy, want to buy."

Song's father made a decision: "If it really doesn't rain for a while, it's hard to predict the price of food in the future. We have a lot of people in our family, and we're not afraid of more food, just less food. Tomorrow you take your second daughter-in-law and daughter to the town to buy more food."

Song Nan: I want to go up the mountain, I want to survive.

Father Song: No, you don’t want to.

Before going to bed at night, Song Nan exchanged the raspberries that she had gained while cooking today to the system and exchanged them for 130 survival points.Counting today's basic survival points, there are currently a total of [-] five survival points.

Looking at the three-digit survival points, Song Nan felt very sad.

But that doesn't change the fact that she can't go up the mountain tomorrow.

Early the next morning, Song Nan was woken up by Song's mother banging on the door.

"Get up quickly and go to town later."

After breakfast, Song Nan held her nose and drank the soup prepared by her fourth brother.

She has been taking this medicine for three days in a row, morning and night, but she is still not used to it.The bitter taste of the soup danced on her taste buds. Song Nan washed her hands with raspberries and ate them to suppress part of the bitter taste.

"Fourth brother, how many more days do I have to take this medicine?"

Song Liu took her pulse and said, "She's recovering well. Let's check again in two days."

Two days, at least two more days to eat.

With a sad look on her face, Song Nan followed Song's mother and second sister-in-law and left home.

After walking all the way, we finally arrived at the town. The town was obviously not as prosperous as the county town. There was a street running from south to north, and there were only two shops selling grain.

The grain seller had just laid out the grain when he saw Song Nan and the others walking towards them.

Mother Song pointed to a bag of broken rice at the door: "How to sell it?"

"Broken rice costs eight cents per catty, and there are fifteen cents and twenty cents here respectively. You get what you pay for, you can take a look."

The owner of the grain shop inserted several wooden signs with prices written on them into the rice noodles, so that Mother Song would not have to ask any more questions.

These three kinds of rice looked much better than the ones on the street. Mother Song knew at a glance that the owner of this shop was more honest, so she decided to buy them from this shop.

She bought [-] jins of rice for [-] cents per jin, [-] jins of rice for [-] cents, and [-] cents for rice without even looking at it. Later, she bought more than a dozen bags of flour and salt.

Seeing that she bought a lot, the shop owner specifically asked if she wanted five cents to be delivered to her door.Mother Song agreed without much thought, but the matter of three pennies was not much.

Song Nan didn't know what the prices were here, but she only knew that Song's mother paid 12 taels.

Taking a grain truck to the entrance of the town, Song Nan saw many people squatting here to buy cattle and mules.

Song Nan thought about escaping later, and immediately pulled Song's mother out of the car and walked this way.

"What's there to see? This cow is very expensive."

"Mom, buy a cow." Song Nan grabbed Song's mother and whispered in her ear: "When I came out today, I told me that I wanted to buy a cow."

I must buy a cow!

How tiring is it for people to push a cart?If her family had to push a cart to escape, Song Nan would be embarrassed to sit in the cart and not leave, let alone two younger sisters-in-law and a pregnant fourth sister-in-law at home.

"what?"

Mother Song's eyes widened: "Your father, have you really confessed?"

"That's right, I said it."

Seeing her daughter's serious look, Song's mother pulled her back and walked back.

Dad, tell us in advance in your dream if you have something to do.I took 15 taels of silver when I went out, and now I only have [-] taels or seven left. Where can I buy a cow?

Come on, go back and get the money and buy again.

Song Nan raised her head: "Mom?"

"Go back and talk."

Song's mother took a picture of her unlucky child.

This kid knew about this at home and didn't even remind him.Can she still bring home a cow worth five or six taels of silver with three taels of silver?

When Dou Xiaomei saw the two men coming back, she smiled apologetically at the grain store clerk who was driving the cart.

Fortunately, the waiter didn't care and continued on his way after waiting for others to get in the car.

On the way, the waiter said to me: "Auntie, do you want to buy a cow?"

"Yeah, it's very inconvenient if we don't have an animal to pull the cart at home. We can only walk to the town to buy things, and we can only spend money to take a car to the county."

Mother Song didn't hide it either. They really wanted to buy cattle. What's more, when they got off the car and went to look over there just now, people must have noticed it.

"My relative's house happens to have a cow for sale. It only costs four and a half taels of silver, which is much cheaper than outside. Would you like to see it, Auntie?"

Song Nan raised her eyebrows, such a coincidence?

It’s also a lot cheaper. Is there something wrong with this cow?

Song's mother asked immediately, and the man patted his chest and assured: "There is definitely nothing wrong with the cow. It's just that it was eaten bad not long ago. My relatives are too lazy to nurse the animal back to health, so I thought it would be better to sell it for money."

"It's okay if Auntie doesn't like it after seeing it. I'm just introducing it."

The boy's cool words dispelled Song's mother's doubts, and she immediately said that she could follow him to have a look, but she had to transport the food home first.

The bullock cart arrived in Qingshan Village, attracting the attention of many people.

In the village, the village chief Zheng and the village chief have cattle at home, and usually the cattle carts are not borrowed, but now it is not the two families who are sitting in the cart.

The crowd looked intently.

Aren't the people sitting on this oxcart from Song Lao'er's family?

The Song family just split up not long ago, and now they actually buy a bullock cart?
