"Sister-in-law, brother, come out for dinner."

Just at this moment, Xiao Taozi came to call them.

"understood."

As Guo Jingtian said this, he took his wife's hand and walked out together.

But before we sat down to eat, someone came outside.

"Brother Jingtian, are you home?"

Guo Daoyou stood outside the wall and shouted, saying that he didn't dare to enter the house because there was no man at home.

"I'm at home, what's up cousin?"

When Guo Jingtian heard his shouting, he immediately came out and opened the gate.

"Jingtian, your sister-in-law heard from your wife that there will be a snowstorm this year. Is this true? This is not a trivial matter. Is there any basis for this?"

Guo Daoyou was a little anxious. Such a big thing, what should he do if it was true?

“I don’t have any basis for this, I just heard it from a Taoist priest.

But I heard from others that the Taoist priest’s predictions were very accurate. As for whether you believe it or not, you should think about it more for yourself.”

Guo Jingtian still uses this set of rhetoric, which makes people more convinced.

"You are a scholar, do you think this is credible? I trust you more than others, so give me some reference."

Guo Daoyou had no idea what to say after hearing what he said, so he simply listened to his cousin. After all, he was an educated man and had seen more things than himself.

"If you want my advice, it's better to believe it than not.

What is the most important thing in this world? Naturally, food and human life.

As long as we can live well, we don’t have to worry too much about other things.

Even if we don’t buy food now, we can sell it after the Chinese New Year, which is safer and more secure.”

Guo Jingtian knew that they would sell some food at this time every year.

In this situation, it is natural to hope that they will not sell it anymore, since it will not be much cheaper after the Chinese New Year anyway.

“Well, I think what you said makes sense, so I’ll do as you say and not sell this year’s grain for the time being.

There are old and young people in the family. If there is really no food, the whole family will not be able to survive. It is better to be safer as you said.

Thank you for respecting God! I will go back now, you can go ahead and do your work. "

When Guo Daoyou heard what his cousin said, he felt it made a lot of sense. Compared to having nothing else, it was more important for his family to be alive.

The main reason is that he has parents and four children. If he sells the grain, if there is a disaster, the whole family will starve to death.

"Don't go, why don't you come in and have a drink, we haven't had dinner yet."

Guo Jingtian thought that this cousin was pretty good, so he wanted to keep him here for dinner.

"No, I have to go back and arrange things quickly.

You know, I have four children, and I can’t be careless about such a big thing.”

After Guo Daoyou finished speaking, he walked quickly home. This cousin of his was a scholar.

He must know more than these peasants, so I believe what he says must be right.

Two days later, the entire Guojia Village knew about this incident.

"Tian Kai, have you heard that there will be a snowstorm this year?"

Guo Jingtian specifically asked in a crowded place in the school.

"No! Where did this rumor come from? Is there any basis for it?"

Tian Kai also became interested when he heard about this kind of thing. He thought it would always be a good idea to listen more.

"No way? My brother Jingtian has such a good relationship with you, would he not tell you?

This rumor was spread by his family, and now everyone in Guojia Village knows about it."

Guo Linyou's voice was so loud that it quickly attracted the attention of others.

"You know? Then I'll go ask him now."

Tian Kai went to find him immediately, wanting to know everything about such a big matter.

The classmates who heard it also followed him to find Guo Jingtian.

"Jingtian, I heard that there will be a snowstorm this winter. Do you know about this? Is this true?"

Soon Tian Kai found him and started asking questions directly.

“I’m not sure if this is true, but on the Mid-Autumn Festival, I met a Taoist priest and he said this.

I looked for him for several days afterwards, but I didn't see the Taoist priest again, so I couldn't confirm this matter."

When Guo Jingtian saw so many people coming to see him, he did not hide anything, but just spoke more tactfully.

"So that's how it is! What does the Taoist priest look like? Why don't you draw it for us so we can look for him together.

Snowstorms are a big deal. If they are true, many people will die.”

Tian Kai said.

"Sure, that's better. It'll make things clearer so we can prepare earlier."

Guo Jingtian did not refuse. After he finished speaking, he took the brush and ink and started painting.

"Jingtian, you're not making this up, are you? I remember we were together during the Mid-Autumn Festival, how come I didn't see you?"

Guo Linyou immediately retorted.

"When you arrived in town that morning, you went to see your fiancée first, didn't you forget?

You've been gone for an hour or two. Do I have to stand here waiting for you?

Lin You, what do you mean by questioning me like this? Don't you want me to draw it?

If you have anything to say, just say it, otherwise I won’t understand what you mean.”

When Guo Jingtian heard what he said, he stopped what he was doing.

From the Mid-Autumn Festival till now, he has always felt that Guo Linyou has been targeting him intentionally or unintentionally. He wondered what his purpose was in doing so?

No matter what his purpose is, since he has spoken out to stop me from painting, then I won't paint.

If there really is a snowstorm in the future, these classmates will definitely hate him to death.

"Guo Linyou, what do you mean? Why did you stop him from painting?"

Other students immediately quit.

“I don’t mean anything, I just heard in the village that this matter came from his wife.

But now Brother Jingtian said that it was the Taoist priest he met, and there is a discrepancy between what the couple said. I am curious to ask what is wrong?"

Guo Linyou immediately refuted.

"You believe the rumors in the village? Lin You, you have studied for so many years, don't you have any judgment?"

Guo Jingtian looked at him and retorted directly. It seems that he has to pay close attention to this brother of the same clan in the future.

"Jingtian, just ignore him for now and draw the portrait first. Anyway, there are people who say whatever they want. Those who want to believe can believe it, and those who don't can forget it."

Tian Kai watched the two of them talking back and forth, and he felt that something was wrong with their words.

But he still believed in Guo Jingtian more, so he spoke in his favor.

"Ah."

It didn't take Guo Jingtian long to paint a portrait of an immortal.

"Wow, just by looking at his appearance, I feel like what he said is true. No, I have to go back and prepare."

After seeing the portrait, Tian Kai believed it even more and wanted to go back immediately to prepare supplies for the winter.
