Natural disasters in books: I stockpiled goods to escape famine in ancient times

Huang Changyuan waved his hand after hearing this and said, "We have bought a lot of land at home, enough for farming. There are few people and a lot of land in the north. If we open up the wasteland at the foot of the mountain, the whole village can't finish farming it. We know that Xiao Song is capable and has no shortage of money, but others don't know. If you don't farm, people who don't know the inside story will inevitably gossip."

Zhang Wu was silent for a moment, then spoke out his thoughts: "Why not take some time to go to the mountains, hunt some wild animals and sell them in town for money, then there won't be any gossip."

"That's one way, but wild animals don't sell for much money in the North."

"It's enough for others to know that I have the ability to make money. The relationship between my master and I is known to the village chiefs of both villages, so I just pretend to be nice to others, so as to avoid gossips from reaching my master's ears and making her annoyed."

Huang Changyuan pointed at Zhang Wu and said with a smile: "You are amazing."

Zhang Wu also thought his idea was good, so he turned to look at Huang Ying and said, "Do you want to stay at home with your parents for a few days?"

"Why, do you think I'm bothering you at home?"

Zhang Wu's scalp was tense, and he quickly explained: "You know that's not what I meant. I just thought that you and your parents haven't seen each other for a long time in the prefectural city..."

Before Zhang Wu could finish, Huang Ying burst out laughing: "I was joking with you, but you took it seriously. Anyway, it's so close to home, I can come back anytime if I miss my parents."

Huang Changyuan watched the two of them happily from the side, and only spoke after his daughter finished speaking: "Yingying is right, it's so close to home, you can come back anytime, so let her stay by your side to take care of you."

Zhang Wu grinned in a very foolish way.

The couple had lunch at Huang's house before returning home. Along the way, they met many villagers who greeted them, and Zhang Wu responded to them one by one.

These days, the villagers are busy clearing the land and planting crops. When you go out, you can see people working with hoes everywhere, and everyone has hope for the future on their face.

After moving back to Damo Village, Zhang Wu and his wife moved into their new house, but they still went to work for Song Shiwei during the day.

It had been three days since he returned. On this day, Zhang Wu saw that Song Shiwei did not go out for a walk, so he went to the main hall to find her and told her his thoughts.

Song Shiwei expressed his support for Zhang Wu's desire to farm, and directly took out a bag of vegetable seeds from the space and gave it to him: "Since you don't want to grow food, you don't need to plant so many vegetables, just enough for the family to eat."

"I've seen other people only grow vegetables on 5-6 mu of land. We have a small family, so 5 mu is enough for food. I want to use the remaining 5 mu to grow onions, ginger and garlic."

"You can handle these matters on your own. Come to me again if you need god or demon seeds."

Zhang Wu smiled brightly: "Okay, then master, please give me some more onion, ginger and garlic seeds. Tomorrow I plan to go into the mountains to see if I can hunt some wild animals to sell in town, and also go to see how Song Da and the other three are doing."

"Okay," Song Shiwei took out the seeds and gave them to him, and continued, "Just wait and see what Song Da and the others are doing."

Knowing that his master was talking about the loyalty pill, Zhang Wu agreed immediately and was also prepared to see how Song Da and the others performed.

After saying everything he needed to say, Zhang Wu took the seeds and went to the fields. Huang Ying couldn't bear to see him working alone, so she simply took the water bag and went to the fields with him, helping to sprinkle the seeds without any effort.

On the second day, Zhang Wu got up before dawn, took a long sword and carried a bow and arrow into the mountains. He didn't pay any attention to small animals like pheasants he encountered on the way, and just focused on going deeper into the mountains.

After having breakfast at home, Huang Ying went to Song Shiwei's place, holding a needle and thread basket in her hand. She entered the house and started embroidering with Feng Ru who had just finished practicing boxing. Before returning from the provincial capital, Huang Ying specially bought a fashionable embroidered handkerchief purse in the city, preparing to embroider according to the pattern on it.

"Sister-in-law, why are you embroidering handkerchiefs all the time? They are all the same. Are you going to give them away?" Feng Ru saw Huang Ying embroidering a patterned handkerchief for two days in a row. She embroidered two yesterday and is still embroidering today. He couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Huang Ying smiled gently, her hands moving non-stop: "I plan to embroider a few more and then take them to the city to exchange for money. I heard that this pattern is very popular in the city, so I used good materials to embroider it. I can't bear to give it to others."

Feng Ru tilted her head, her watery eyes full of confusion: "Brother Zhangwu doesn't give money to sister-in-law to spend? I heard him and sister Song say before that he has plenty of money. Is he saving some private money?"

Huang Ying chuckled and raised her hand to touch the little girl's forehead: "You can't tell whether your brother Zhang Wu is good to me or not. I am in charge of all his money. If you don't have any private money, don't talk nonsense outside, or you will make people laugh."

Feng Ru laughed and stuck out her tongue: "I won't tell outsiders about my family's affairs. Brother Zhang Wu has taught me that."

"Ru'er is really good. Your brother Zhangwu has money, but I can't just sit there and eat nothing. Xiuxiu is afraid that although it can't buy much money, it is still an income. I am not as good as your sister Song, nor as strong as your brother Zhangwu, so I can only do needlework."

Feng Ru was thoughtful after hearing this, and then clapped her hands: "Then I will embroider more, and then go to the city with my sister-in-law to sell them. I will use the money I earn to buy you delicious snacks."

Seeing her cute and quirky appearance, Huang Ying couldn't help but rub her little head, and then said earnestly: "You are still laughing, it's time to grow up, don't worry about making money, you are Shi Wei's person, just listen to her, she will consider you."

"That's right. I not only have to practice calligraphy and reading every day, but also practice martial arts. I don't have time to embroider. I wanted to embroider a purse for Sister Song, but it took me a long time to finish it. If only I could grow up now, I could do many, many things."

The little girl also had troubles. Huang Ying smiled and pinched her cheeks: "Girls should study more. I didn't have such good conditions when I was a child. Besides, letting you practice martial arts will strengthen your body. You won't be afraid of being bullied when you go out in the future."

"I know. Brother Zhang Wu has said these words many times. I will definitely listen and study hard," Feng Ru said without bothering Huang Ying anymore. He ran back to the house, got pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and started practicing calligraphy on the round table in the main hall.

Huang Ying smiled when she saw this scene, then lowered her head and continued embroidering.

When Song Shiwei walked in, she saw the two of them doing their own things. The atmosphere was very harmonious, and she couldn't help but smile.

When Feng Ru saw Song Shiwei coming in, he quickly put down his pen, made a cup of tea, and came up to her. He smiled and said, "Sister Song, you are awake now. Are you hungry? There are steamed buns on the stove."

Song Shiwei took a sip of tea to moisten his throat: "I'm not hungry, you can continue practicing calligraphy."

"Oh, so you're calling me again."

The way he looked back every few steps made Song Shi laugh: "Forget it, since you made it, just take one."

As expected, the little girl smiled brightly upon hearing this, and she said "OK" sweetly and ran out of the door. After a while, she came back with a steamed bun and a pinch of sugar, pouting: "Brother Zhangwu said that steamed buns taste good with sugar. Ruer tried it this morning and it was really delicious. Sister Song should try it too."

Try to eat more, Feng Ru thought.
