Dressed as a cute kid with a farm: Pick up a brother to farm

Meng Huaishao was not too worried about the food and water supply for himself and his baby.

After owning the farm for Milkman, he has stockpiled enough food for the two of them to eat for half a year, and there is also an endless supply of spring water in the farm space.

But it’s hard to say about others.

Not to mention food, the water can drive people crazy.

The most difficult thing for people to do in this world is to be self-sufficient.

They are going to live in a small mountain village where their every move will be seen clearly by others?

He looked at the baby, and her face looked bad too.

At this moment, Meng Huaishao suddenly understood why Ye Yaoyao had taken the initiative to ask him to plant those two crops yesterday.

Ye Yaoyao had obviously never cared about what he planted, but yesterday she suddenly intervened and planted potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Those two crops were the highest-yielding grains Meng Huaishao had ever seen.

But he also understood that if a drought really came, that little bit of food would be just a drop in the bucket.

The relatively abundant food rations were also a source of danger for him and Ye Yaoyao.

Even if Ye Yaoyao has enough food and can take care of herself, can't others see that they are short of food?

It is easy to tell whether you are full at every meal and hungry at every other meal.

Even if we take a step back, the kind and lovely Yaoyao is willing to rescue the villagers who have lost their harvest and help them survive this drought.

But what about other villages?

Even if the villagers are united and have no jealousy or covetousness, there are always daughters who marry out of the village and wives who marry outside the village. Who doesn't have a few relatives?

Human greed is limitless. Once it starts, how will they deal with it afterwards?

Ye Yaoyao doesn’t have the ability to save everyone.

He and Ye Yaoyao were still young. If they were attacked by a group of people, they would not be able to protect themselves.

The more Meng Huaishao thought about it, the paler his face became, and his handsome eyebrows were wrinkled like dried pickles.

The more Meng Huaishao thought about it, the more confused and worried he became. He was almost stuck in a dead end, and his mind was full of tangles.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a warm feeling on the back of his hand. He looked down and saw that it was the baby's two fat little kids, patting his hand gently.

"Yeah!"

The baby gave him a sweet smile, like the warm sunshine of spring, melting in his heart. The dark clouds in Meng Huaishao's heart were instantly illuminated by the sunshine.

"Yeah!" Don't worry, I have food!

Ye Yaoyao comforted him silently.

Meng Huaishao felt comforted, and held the baby's hand in his palm, and assured in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Yaoyao, don't worry, no matter when, where, or what the situation, I will protect you!"

No matter what happens, he will not expose Ye Yaoyao.

"Yeah!"

Ye Yaoyao blinked to indicate that she remembered it.

In my past and present two lives, this person is the only one who unconditionally promised to protect me.

Not long after, the village chief Niu Youcai and the clan elders, accompanied by several younger generations, came to the big drying yard. The noisy big drying yard suddenly became much quieter.

There were several stools at the top, apparently prepared for the village chief and elders.

Once everyone was seated, today's meeting officially began.

The village chief Niu Youcai stood up, his voice loud but a little tired and hoarse.

"Yesterday, I went to the county government office to do some work. When I came back, I heard two officials discussing something. I thought they were well-informed, so I listened a little more out of curiosity. Who knew I heard something really big!"

"what's up?"

"Village chief, please tell me quickly! We are all very anxious!"

As soon as the village chief spoke, everyone started asking questions. Village chief Niu Youcai raised his hand and pressed it slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet before continuing.

"I heard them talking about how it hasn't rained in Linyang County for half a year, and the water level of the Linyang River has dropped... There may be a drought this year... The harvest is not good, and the grain tax is not enough, so the higher authorities may increase taxes..."

The village chief recounted in detail what he had heard yesterday, causing everyone to become restless.

"what!"

"Is this news confirmed?"

"The drought is already killing people. Why do we have to raise taxes?"

"Yes! Doesn't the imperial court want us to live?"

"Everybody be quiet!"

The village chief stood up and spoke loudly to comfort everyone.

"I know how you feel. I am also very anxious, but we still have to live our lives, so I am calling you all here to discuss a solution!"

"With so many of us, we can always think of a solution. We can't just watch everyone starve to death!"

"All right!"

Looking at the excited villagers, an elder stomped the cane in his hand and spoke with full energy.

Seeing the elder speak, whose power of deterrence was even stronger than that of the village chief, everyone quieted down again.

"We don't even know if there will be a drought, why are you acting like you're dying?"

"But the county magistrate said..."

Someone spoke weakly, but was silenced by the elder's stare. His sharp eyes swept over everyone.

"So, you guys think so too?"

Everyone was silent and dared not speak.

Seeing this, the elders also understood their thoughts and couldn't help but get angry: "Farmers, it's good to rely on the weather for food, but if the weather is bad, you are not going to live?"

Hearing this, everyone quickly refuted.

"No! Among us big guys, there is no one who doesn't want to live!"

"We still have children at home. It's okay for us to grow old, but the children still have to live!"

"But this year, it did get hot a little early..."

"..."

"Yeah yeah!"

The crowd was surging, with many different opinions and everyone having their own concerns and difficulties.

No one doesn't want to live, but no one thinks they can fight against the sky or the court.

"Quiet!"

"Since we knew the news in advance, we still starved to death, we deserved it!"

The elders of the tribe had spoken, and no one present dared to disobey.

"There is always a way out. Since we know the news in advance, whether there will be a drought or not, we must be prepared for it."

The village chief Niu Youcai helped the elders sit down and took control of the situation again.

"Now, let's discuss first. If there is a drought, what methods can we use to help the village survive this natural disaster safely?"

"Everyone said, don't hide it. We are all from the same village. If the village is not well, then we will not be well either!"

Now that things have been said, everyone has no choice but to come up with a solution.

For a time, people proposed all kinds of methods, including "using money to buy grain and store grain", "digging more wells to store water", "picking wild fruits and vegetables in the mountains", and "harvesting grain in advance".

Meng Huaishao did not participate in the discussion, and no one forced him, a child, to give any opinions.

Meng Huaishao sat there holding his baby, thinking frantically in his mind, what should he do if a drought really happened and the court didn't care?

How can I keep the villagers in the small mountain village alive as much as possible while protecting Yaoyao and myself?
