Parents are busy farming

It is said that after Lu Zili returned home that day, he went to look for Bai Dazhuang.

He thinks this is a good opportunity. Local grain harvesting has basically come to an end. If he wants to receive grain again, he has to wait until after the wheat harvest.

Even if there is no drought, it will take some time to dry the wheat before harvesting.

What are the uncles going to do during this time?

Going to the south to purchase grain is a good choice. After laying the foundation there, they can cooperate with Ye Zifen for a long time.

Yes, it was them. Lu Zili planned to let two uncles go over and one uncle stay at home.

First, the two of them can take care of each other after they go there, and second, if one of them has to come back for something, the other can still be there to support the situation.

Lu Zili entered the main door of the Bai family and saw the Bai family eating around the table through the scene in the main room.

Sitting at the top is his grandmother.

Although the previous uncles were relatively badass, they were all filial people, and my grandmother still has a very high status in the family.

This is also the reason why Lu Zili has never given up on his uncles.

The first person to see Lu Zili was his uncle Bai Dazhuang.

"Ah, my nephew is here, come on, come on, let's sit down and eat together!"

While greeting Lu Zili, he did not forget to scold his wife beside him: "Hurry up and get another set of bowls and chopsticks. Didn't you see my eldest nephew coming?"

In the past, Bai Dazhuang was a bastard, and his wife was afraid of him. Now, although he has changed his habit of not doing his job properly, his attitude towards his wife has not changed much.

Lu Zili saw this and frowned unconsciously.

Looking at my aunt who got up and was about to go to the kitchen, she quickly said: "I came here because I have something to discuss with my uncles. Please stop working. There is already a meal waiting for me at home! Wait until the uncles have finished eating. We will discuss the matter later.”

Bai Dazhuang's daughter-in-law stood there in a dilemma.

She didn't dare not listen to Bai Dazhuang's words, but Lu Zili's words would make her at a loss.

The old lady Bai Dazhuang said at this time: "Don't be too busy. Since Zili said that his mother had prepared a meal for him at home, she must be waiting for him at home!"

The old lady knew her daughter very well.

Then he said to Bai Dazhuang and others: "You guys, don't eat now. The food will be warmed in a big pot for you. You go and talk about the business first. After the business is done, come out and continue eating!"

When the brothers heard this, they quickly put down their chopsticks and took Lu Zili back to the house to talk.

Bai Dazhuang's daughter-in-law went to the kitchen and took out a large bowl. She peeled off half of the half-eaten food and put it into the bowl. She brought it back to the kitchen, put the lid on the pot, and added a handful of firewood to the bottom of the pot.

Her hard work and discernment made Mrs. Bai very satisfied, which is why every time Bai Dazhuang bullied his wife, Mrs. Bai always defended her.

Lu Zili followed several uncles into the house and said straight to the point: "Zifen wants to find someone to go to the south to collect grain and set up a fixed location there. What do the uncles think?"

The Bai brothers looked at each other in confusion.

Bai Dazhuang asked Lu Zili, "What do you think, nephew?"

Lu Zili replied: "I came here just to ask some uncles if they have any desire to go to the south for development. You must understand that the food near us has been almost exhausted this winter. In fact, your connections should also be used. It’s overwhelming!”

Bai Dazhuang nodded when he heard this, "Yeah, now I basically can't fill the truck with food every day. Although I can still make a little money, it can't be compared with the previous days."

Lu Zili answered: "So I would like to ask you if you have any thoughts on going to the south for development. The south is rich in rice, and it has been said to be a land of plenty since ancient times. You have harvested grain for a period of time and have certain experience."

Bai Dazhuang asked Lu Zili: "You mean that little girl from the Ye family wants people to go to the south to collect grain? Isn't it enough for us to collect so much grain?"

Lu Zili replied: "Zifen has to deliver grain to the sea. This is a year-round job. Naturally, the grain you collect is not enough."

I don't know why Bai Dazhuang, after hearing this, began to feel glad that he didn't keep fighting with that little girl, otherwise...

Just last year, when Bai Dazhuang sneaked to Ye's house at night, he was thrown out of the wall by Mu Hongzhou, and he was raised at home for more than half a month before he could get out of bed.

Another time, my leg was directly broken by Ye Zifen. Now when it rains and is cloudy, my leg still hurts.

Just when Bai Dazhuang was wandering in the sky, Lu Zili said again: "I want to tell you another news. There may be a drought here this year. If the grain output is reduced due to the drought, it will be difficult for you to receive grain again. Increase a lot.”

"What? There might be a drought? Then that..." Bai Xiaozhuang said in surprise.

They were eating outside the house, and the Bai family began to panic when they heard the news.

Especially for Old Mrs. Bai, people of her age were more or less on the tail end of a disaster, and the fear of being starved to death at any time if she didn't have enough to eat suddenly hit her heart.

Ignoring the conversations of several men in the room, he put down his chopsticks and rushed in.

"Don't get excited..." Before Lu Zili could finish his words, he saw old lady Bai barging in.

After Mrs. Bai rushed in, she immediately grabbed Lu Zili's shoulders.

He asked with an anxious and fearful look: "Who did you hear that there would be a drought this year?"

Lu Zili saw that grandma's expression was wrong and said quickly: "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, my uncle and Zifen measured the length of the moon shadow and found that there would be a drought this year."

Maybe Bai Dazhuang and the others still don't believe in this testing method, but Mrs. Bai is convinced.

She let go of Lu Zili's hand and fell to the ground, which shocked the people in the room.

The old lady is quite old, what should I do if she falls out?

But no matter how many people called her the old lady, she still sat there in a daze with her eyes straight.

The movement inside had already alarmed the people outside. Everyone stopped eating, and a group of people came in cheering.

After a while, Mrs. Bai started to cry.

While slapping his thighs, he cried: "Oh, my God, it's only been a few days since we settled down, and why are you trying to torment us again! How can ordinary people like us have the ability to survive this kind of difficulty!"

The people in the room breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the old lady finally reacted.

Then Bai Dazhuang and Lu Zili worked together to lift the old lady up from the ground and put her on the bed.

"Mom, you scare me to death. Isn't the drought not coming yet? You are just crying and screaming. Besides, it is not certain whether it will really come. Even if it comes to what extent, how can we still have no idea!"

Bai Dazhuang's words made the old lady react.
