Parents are busy farming

Although Lu Dashan had done great harm to their family, the brothers had a very good relationship with Lu Zili.

Looking at the Buddha's face without looking at the monk's face, Lu Zili has come to find the master in person. Could he still put Zili and Zifen in trouble because of personal grudges?

Since Ye Zimeng insisted on following, Ye Zifen said nothing more, but gave the lantern in his hand to Lu Zili and asked him to lead the way.

While walking, he asked Lu Zili about the situation.

"What happened? Why is it so late that he is so sick all of a sudden? Ordinarily he should have rested by this time."

Lu Zili felt annoyed when he heard Ye Zifen's question.

It was already late when he came out of Bai's house.

After returning home, Lu Bai quickly brought the prepared meals to the dining table and sent a separate meal to the second elder in the main room.

During dinner, Lu Bai asked Lu Zili what he was doing at Bai's house.

Lu Zili thought that since he was not at home usually, it would be inconvenient to make any disaster prevention preparations, so he might as well tell his mother the truth about the situation.

After he told several people present that there might be a drought this year, others were fine, but Lu Hongguo was a little excited.

"It doesn't matter whether there is a drought or not. Measuring the length of the moon's shadow can tell you there will be a drought this year. This is such a child's play. When did you become so careless!"

Lu Zili explained: "Until that day, no one knows whether the drought will come, but what we have to do now is to prepare for the drought. Don't wait until that day comes. If we have nothing, wouldn't it be in vain?" The lives of the entire family?"

"We understand what brother means, but we don't know what preparations to make?" Lu Ziyi asked.

He didn't want to listen to Lu Hongguo's doubts and went directly to the next topic.

"Prepare some food first!" Lu Zili seemed to have a huge boulder on his body.

Lu Hongzhi said: "But our family now has a lot of food. Where can we put the food we buy? What's more, my grandma holds all the food in the family now."

Lu Hongzhi rarely speaks, so her existence is often ignored.

When the Lu family separated from the Ye family, the Ye family gave the Lu family enough food.

After receiving the goods at home last year, I replaced the old grain with new grain.

But even so, their warehouse is still full.

Lu Bai said: "Eggs cannot be put in one basket. I agree with what Zili said about buying grain. However, our family has to build a house this year. Should we build the house first and then put the purchased grain directly in it?" The houses have been built over there, so I don’t have to worry about buying food.”

Lu Zili said to Lu Yongfu, who had been silent, "Dad, after our new house is built, the grain you and your uncle go out to collect should not be sent to your uncle. Your uncle's family also wants to store some grain. In addition, our family also stores some.”

Lu Yongfu nodded first, and then said doubtfully: "How come it's me and your uncle, and where are your other uncles?"

Lu Zili also told Lu Yongfu that Zifen needed someone to go to the south to collect grain.

After Lu Yongfu heard this, he said "oh" without saltiness, then lowered his head and continued eating.

Lu Hongguo still felt a little suspicious when she saw that everyone decided to collect the grain with just one word.

"When drought comes, what's the use of just preparing food? Shouldn't we prepare more water?"

Lu Bai asked Lu Hongguo: "Where to put the water?"

Just this question left Lu Hongguo speechless.

Lu Zili said: "Zifen has already discussed with the county government to dig out the major ditches in the county and connect them to the canals, so as to divert the water from the canals into the ditches."

"If there is a drought, wouldn't the water in the canal also dry up?" Lu Bai asked puzzledly.

Lu Zili explained: "The water in the canal connects several large rivers. Especially the rivers in the south have abundant water resources. If the south releases water, the canal will not dry up."

After Lu Bai understood this, she said to Lu Hongguo: "Later, talk to Jiang Erlang about this situation and ask his family to prepare some food, especially in the newly bought house. You must also store some. Just in case it happens in the future. If there is a drought, and it goes on for a long time, and his family has no food, he will probably be interested in our family. Even if it is not our family's idea, your marriage will probably be postponed again and again. "

Lu Zili reminded: "This matter can only be mentioned in a veiled way, and cannot be made public. It would be bad if there is a panic."

When Lu Hongguo heard that the wedding would be delayed, she was a little unhappy: "We haven't even seen a drought yet, and yet you are so panicked. Again, just because she measured the length of her shadow, can she tell you that there will be a drought? You guys are too arrogant. She did."

"No one said that there will definitely be a drought. Now we are just making some preparations before the disaster occurs. Why are we making these preparations? Isn't it just to hope that the whole family can survive in the disaster year?"

Lu Bai was very angry when she saw that Lu Hongguo still looked so indifferent.

Lu Zili also had a headache. Whenever other people mentioned Ye Zifen, Lu Hongguo's jealousy would burst into flames, leaving no trace of reason at all. Sometimes it even reaches the point of not distinguishing between right and wrong.

Lu Zili was about to enlighten Lu Hongguo, but he didn't want the sound of bowls and chopsticks falling to the ground coming from outside.

Lu Zili, who was eating, was startled and quickly stood up and ran out. He happened to see Mrs. Lu running towards the main room with a panicked look on her face.

Lu Zili secretly thought, 'It's broken', and hurriedly chased Mrs. Lu into the main room.

As soon as Mrs. Lu Li entered the main room, she cried and said to Lu Dashan: "The old man is not good. Zili and the others said there will be a drought next!"

After eating, Lu Dashan was sitting on the kang, staring blankly out of the dark window.

Suddenly hearing Mrs. Lu Li's exclamation, she slowly turned her head: "What kind of drought, what are you talking about?"

At this moment, Lu Zili had already rushed to the house.

Lu Li quickly grabbed Lu Zili's hand and asked, "Who said there would be a drought? Didn't we have good weather last year? How come there will be a drought this year?"

Seeing that Mrs. Lu was a little emotional, Lu Zili helped her sit on the edge of the kang.

"No one said there would be a drought, but someone measured the length of the moon's shadow and judged that there might be a drought this year!"

It was okay that Lu Zili didn't explain. Once he did, Lu Li became even more frightened and grabbed Lu Zili's hand.

He asked persistently: "Who measured the length of the shadow?"

Lu Zili felt a little guilty. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell the two people present, but whenever he mentioned Zifen and his uncle, they would get very excited.

But his hesitant expression immediately betrayed him, and then Lu Dashan asked: "Is it the white-eyed wolf who tested it?"

Lu Zili said nothing and responded with silence.
