The vicious female supporting role only wants to farm
Chapter 197 The situation is not good
The ice drinks reduced everyone’s heat to a great extent, and everyone felt much more comfortable.
But ice is precious.
Feng couldn't get it every day, so he had to deliver it every few days.
The summer harvest was over, which greatly alleviated the food shortage in the south. However, there was another war over there, and the grain tax was raised, so the people here also lived a tight life.
Mu Chaoge was not greatly affected, he just stored less food, but it was enough for him to eat. The others were a little worse off, they were not full to begin with, and with the hot weather, they really couldn't survive.
They have been watering the land on their farm heavily recently, otherwise it would really affect the autumn and winter harvests.
But in August.
The sweet potatoes at Mu Chaoge Farm are ready to be harvested again. Recently, everyone has been harvesting them under the scorching sun.
The recent meals have changed to various sweet potato cakes, sweet potato soup, and a bunch of dried sweet potatoes, which can fill the stomach, and a small amount of sweet potato flour, which is needed when cooking. Due to the shortage of food this year, we don’t make much sweet potato flour, just enough for daily needs.
After it was finished, I sent it to my uncle, aunt and grandmother, and then exchanged it for some other things.
Nanny Zhou couldn't stand the heat either, so she sat under the pavilion to cool off. She said to her third young lady, "This weather is really hellish. Miss, why don't you go back to the house?"
Mu Chaoge said it was okay, I'll sit over here in the pavilion and see how strong the sun is. "It hasn't rained for a long time. I heard that the streams in the mountains have become much smaller."
Madam Zhou wiped her sweat and said, "If the sun keeps shining like this, what can't be dried by it?"
Xiao Taozi fanned Mu Chaoge and was also sweating from the heat. "I can't stand walking a few steps outside. We still have to work."
Mu Chaoge asked, "Shouldn't we avoid the hottest time at noon? Tell them not to do it in the afternoon and wait until the sun is about to set."
She had previously asked everyone to avoid working in the fields when the sun was at its strongest.
I'm afraid of heat stroke.
Du Juan came over with a pot of herbal tea and said, "Uncle Cai said that if we don't dig out the sweet potatoes early, we will have a hard time planting new things later."
Seeing this, Mu Chaoge had no idea what to do. "Then let them not get too tired. Sister Du Juan, please remind them from time to time so that they won't get too tired."
She doesn't know much about what's happening on the farm. Currently, she is the one who decides what to plant on the farm, but when it comes to harvest, Uncle Cai and the others have to take care of it.
Sister Du Juan agreed, "By the way, the peanut oil that we asked Uncle Qiao to squeeze last time is back."
Mu Chaoge agreed, "This is good stuff. Keep it. I just gave some to my uncle, aunt, and grandmother a few days ago. Let's take a few days off to avoid being seen by others and getting jealous."
The Mu family is also very low-key and honest, not to mention the Lu family who is already cautious.
Feng has been very busy lately, having to deal with those business partners who are eyeing her covetously. Without Lu Xingzhou, these things fall on her shoulders.
The only comfort is.
My child is fine on the farm, and both the sister and brother are doing well.
Mrs. Feng felt very comforted.
It is said that the first battle at the border was evenly matched, but both sides suffered heavy losses.
Therefore, the second wave of conscription began.
This time the money spent on people is even more expensive, so the Lu family definitely won’t go.
Therefore, Feng had to spend money to find someone to smooth over the relationship, and also had to find some rare things to give to people. Mu Chaoge sent the peanut oil that was not available here to Feng.
Feng’s urgent problem was solved, but it was my little niece who came to the rescue at the critical moment!
Even the people on Mu Chaoge's side were kept and part of the silver was used as compensation.
This wave took away many people.
As a result, the atmosphere in the neighborhood became even worse, with more frauds and scams, and many children and women disappeared, either sold by their families or abducted.
The purpose is all for money.
There are many abandoned babies on the streets. There is nothing we can do about it. Everyone is having a hard time right now and many people cannot afford to raise children. Babies of this age cannot be sold at a high price because they still need to be raised with great care.
Unlike other older children and women who are already part of the labor force, they are always a mess.
Mu Chaoge also felt that the situation was not very good. Although they could still make some money, their farm did not have to face all those messy people directly.
They only need to supply goods to Sifang Grocery Store. Recently, other scattered businesses have also been postponed. Let them go to Sifang Grocery Store to get the goods.
Reduce the chance of dealing with strangers.
But at the same time there is also a new problem, if there is to be conscription in the next round.
There must be a part of it that has to go.
Because this time the other party said that it was a bit difficult, because the current shortage of people was greater than the shortage of money.
So silver is not very useful.
When there is the next conscription, Mu Chaoge can only hand over a part of the people.
Otherwise, I'm afraid I can't avoid it.
The Lu family was also worried about this matter, and Feng had no idea what to do, so she let them figure it out themselves.
Mu Chaoge didn't have any good solution.
After all, there are three uncles, and they all have sons, so it is impossible that none of them will go out.
The critical moment has come.
Someone has to go to the battlefield, and danger is inevitable when they go there.
But the fame and honor are also obvious.
The Lu Mansion has been in a dark cloud recently, and the three uncles are extremely worried.
But there was no news from my uncle.
Mu Chaoge was also very worried about his uncle, as he had been away for more than half a year.
There are letters, too.
But not many people came back one after another, mainly because it was difficult to bring letters with them.
It's a mess outside now.
There has been no movement for more than a month. Mu Chaoge is worried, and Feng is naturally worried too, but there is nothing she can do. Her husband is not at home, so she has to hold on.
Xiao Baisui has been able to walk recently, and occasionally he can follow Mu Chaoge around happily, and he can speak a few words at a time.
He is healthy and worry-free.
Mu Chaoge has a little tail who follows her every day and calls her sister all the time.
Dujuan came back quickly from outside.
He doesn't look very good.
Mu Chaoge was teasing his younger brother when he guessed that the latest news outside was not very good.
"Mother Yu, take Baisui to take a nap. Wipe his body with warm water. He is sweating."
The nurse immediately agreed.
Little Baisui hugged Mu Chaoge's arm and said in a baby voice, "No, no."
Mu Chaoge touched his face and said, "Go to bed. You won't grow taller if you don't take a nap."
She said she didn't play with dwarfs.
Xiao Baisui then pouted and was taken away by Yu Niang, who was in both tears and laughter.
After seeing the two of them leave, Sister Du Juan said to Mu Chaoge, "Miss Third, I heard that the border battle was lost. I'm afraid the third round is about to begin again."
She has been worried lately.
Because of this, all kinds of taxes have increased, and life has become more difficult.
Mu Chaoge was relatively calm. "Don't panic. Since everyone has to do this, we can't escape it either. Let Uncle Cai prepare some tools for drawing lots. To be fair, let the people below draw lots themselves."
