The Female Officer Became a Farmer After Getting Reborn

Zhou Jia returned home and told Xia Tao's words to his loyal servant Zhou Bo, and said to him: "Uncle Zhou, please prepare more rice and water. Xia Tao said that some places in Daqi are suffering from drought. If it continues, It will also have an impact on Dayong.”

Uncle Zhou smiled and said: "Master, the Chinese New Year is coming in two months. Even if there is a natural disaster, the rice stored at home will last for three or four years without any problem. The drought in Daqi should not have a big impact on our area. It is more difficult to be stable in the court. If the third prince fails to wake up, the empress’s family has military power. If the empress’s family,” Uncle Zhou pondered for a moment, lowered his voice, “I’m afraid there will be a military disaster!”

After hearing this, Zhou Jia nodded in agreement, "You are right, but that is not something we can control."

"Yes! You have sworn not to return to the Zhou family in the capital, but that witch is still eyeing you and sending people to plot against you time and time again." Uncle Zhou looked at Zhou Jia, "Fortunately you met the savior, otherwise I How can I have the nerve to see the old man in the future!"

Zhou Jia remembered Li Yu's smile and whispered, "Yes! Thanks to her for sending someone here, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten to know her."

Uncle Zhou looked at Zhou Jia's smile and thought: The young master may have someone in his heart.

Li Yu turned around and returned to the wing. Mrs. Li smiled and asked Li Yu, "Xiaoyu, are we running out of time to do our work?"

Li Yu smiled and nodded, "Yes Aunt Li, Mr. Zhou said that he would take some goods to Qingzhou Mansion and sell them. There are more people there and the sales will be faster. He asked us to hire more people to work. Mr. Zhou asked us to celebrate the New Year quickly. Send us red envelopes."

After hearing this, Mr. Li laughed happily, "That's a great relationship! Thanks to Mr. Zhou, we all will have a good year this year."

Li Yu thought of brother Chen Yaohui and asked Li, "Aunt Li, has Uncle Chen gone to town to find work?"

Li shook her head, "No! It's hard to find a job now, so I'm just resting at home!"

"Then let Uncle Chen help me carry water for a few days! I want to fill those reservoirs with water."

After hearing this, Mrs. Li smiled heartily and said, "Okay! Your uncle is also idle at home. I will ask him to come tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll excuse you." Li Yu said to Zhao Di again, "Cousin, tell your aunt that I have something to go to town for."

Zhao Di looked up at Li Yu, smiled and said, "Okay, go and come back quickly!"

Li Yu nodded and went to the cowshed to take the cow out, put it on the cart and walked towards the town.

When they arrived in town, Li Yu went straight to the grain store and saw the old shopkeeper and his clerk sitting around the brazier to warm themselves up. When they saw Li Yu, they greeted him attentively and asked with a smile: "Girl, do you want to buy rice or not?" Grain?"

Li Yu looked at the millet in the barrel, grabbed a handful and looked at it, "I want to buy millet. How much do you sell it for per stone?"

The old shopkeeper looked at Li Yu and said, "Girl, the price is higher now, seven hundred and fifty coins per stone."

Li Yu thought of the millet he bought at the village chief's house, which cost only 600 cents per dan. In just over two months, he had gained 150 cents. Li Yu looked at the old shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, please be cheaper. I Buy twenty stones.”

The old shopkeeper smiled and shook his head, "Little girl, I am dissatisfied with you for saying that the price of food is different from before. If you are willing to buy it, it will be at this price. There will be no cheaper price."

Li Yu smiled bitterly after hearing this, "Okay! It's expensive, but you have to buy it! There are so many people who need to eat! Please load twenty dan into the car for me!"

"Okay! Just wait a minute!" The shopkeeper asked the waiter to go in to pull the food. He turned to Li Yu and smiled: "Girl, sit down and warm yourself up!"

Li Yu went over and sat by the brazier. The shopkeeper looked at Li Yu and said with a smile: "Girl, you won't suffer a loss when buying food now. The price of food is probably going to rise. I heard there was a disaster over there. Whether it's true or not, it's It’s good to save more food!”

Li Yu looked at him pretending to be surprised, "Shopkeeper, where is the disaster? Is it serious?"

The old shopkeeper pointed to Daqing Mountain and said, "That side of Daqi! I heard from the caravans who came back that some places haven't had much rain since the New Year, and even your feet can stick into the cracks in the cracked fields. Even if you have money over there now, you can’t buy food.”

Li Yu smiled after hearing this, "Daqi is so far away from us, it doesn't matter to us as long as we are fine."

The shopkeeper shook his head after hearing this, "You are young and don't understand. Daqi is in the north, and we, Dayong, are in the south. If they have droughts, we will have floods. This is the experience passed down by the older generation."

After hearing this, Li Yu thought about it and thought it was right! I have heard of floods in the south and drought in the north in my previous life! Why did you forget it? Then why do you carry water yourself?

Before Li Yu could figure it out, the boy loaded the millet onto the bullock cart. After counting, Li Yu bought another fifty kilograms of flour, paid the money, said goodbye to the old shopkeeper, and drove the bullock cart toward Xishan Village. When the car arrived at the pass, Li Yu looked around and made sure there was no one around, so he stored all the millet in the space.

Save food. Li Yu thought that with so much food, even if there was a famine, it would be enough for his siblings and his aunt's family for two years. According to the news he heard from the old shopkeeper today, Li Yu still planned to go with Li Yu. It's up to them to believe it or not.

Li Yu drove the bullock cart home, took the flour and put it in the kitchen. When he went to the side room, he saw that Li Mei had returned.

Li Mei looked at Li Yu and smiled and said, "I invited Aunt Chen and her eldest daughter, as well as your Aunt Ma and her daughter Xuelian, and... they will come to work tomorrow."

Li Yu calculated that there were more than a dozen people, "Okay, there should be more than a dozen people," Li Yu looked at Li Mei's change of words, "Aunt, I heard about the grain when I went to the town to buy flour. The shopkeeper said that there is a drought in Daqi, and the price of food may rise. He also said that droughts in the north and floods in the south have always happened, so you think our Xishan Village will not suffer from floods, right?"

After Li Mei and others heard this, they were shocked. Li said, "What does the drought in Daqi have to do with us? We are so far apart."

"I think so too," Li Yu looked at a few people, "Aunt Li, why don't you ask the village chief Grandpa if there is any theory about drought in the north and floods in the south when you get home?"

Mrs. Li looked solemn after hearing this, "Okay, I'll ask when I get home from work."

Mr. Qian clasped his hands together and prayed devoutly, "God bless us, we can finally live a comfortable life, but we must not cause disasters!"

After seeing this, everyone also put down their needlework and prayed devoutly.

After hearing the news brought back by Li Yu, several people were a little listless. After finally waiting until work was over, Mrs. Li hurried home, found Chen Yaohui and said anxiously: "Ah Hui, let's go back to dad's house. Today we are going When I went to buy noodles, the storekeeper said that the drought in the north was very serious, and that there was drought in the north and floods in the south."

After hearing this, Chen Yaohui was also confused. Without saying a word, he took Li and walked towards the village chief's house. When the two arrived at the village chief's house, Liu rolled his eyes when he saw the two of them and squinted at them, "You two, come here." What are you doing?"

Chen Yaohui also rolled his eyes at her with a sarcastic look on his face, "Come to see my dad! Could it be that he comes to see you."

Mrs. Liu was so angry that she turned blue, but she didn't dare to say anything more and watched Chen Yaohui and his wife enter the house.
