"No, no, I won't go. From now on, I'll ask you before doing anything. I thought it was just a change of food. It happens all the time in the village, but I didn't expect it to almost cause trouble."
Old Mrs. Pei now understands the difference between people in the city and those in the village. City people are too cunning, while people in the village only quarrel with each other. These old ladies look gentle and easy to talk to, with smiling faces, unlike the rural women who are so rude and may do bad things behind the scenes.
"Mom, you don't have to be scared. I just want you to be careful. After all, this year doesn't look good. Some troubles can be avoided if possible, but there's no need to be afraid. Your son and daughter-in-law are quite capable. If anyone dares to make a move, we won't hesitate."
Li Miaomiao just reminded her parents-in-law to be careful, but she didn't want them to live in fear.
After hearing what Li Miaomiao said, Old Man Pei and Old Lady Pei felt much more relieved.
My daughter-in-law is so capable. She actually said that, so it must be true.
When they were in the village, everyone treated their daughter-in-law with courtesy, no matter for what reason, and no one dared to provoke them.
"Okay, with Miaomiao here, we have nothing to fear! But you're right, the harvest doesn't look good this year, so we should be careful and not attract attention. Even over at the vegetable market, I see there aren't many vegetables. They're not as good as the ones in our yard. Everyone's scrambling to get them, but they can't get any."
Old Mrs. Pei said this with a worried look on her face: "I don't know what the situation is like outside our village. With the weather this year, when there is little rain, the crops outside the village will be flooded to death. When it is dry, there is little rain for a long time, and not even a drop of rain can fall."
Speaking of that, not to mention You Xinlu, even old man Pei was worried.
When Old Mrs. Pei said that, Old Man Pei and You Xinlu both remembered and looked happy.
The next time Mrs. Pei went back, she specifically asked Accountant Wu about the situation outside the area and asked him to be attentive and record the data and send it to the Agricultural Primary School. Accountant Wu seemed quite attentive.
"If there is a real drought this year, that would be bad luck for Fanglin Village. As long as we can harvest the grains, our village will have enough food to eat."
As long as Accountant Wu puts his heart into that task, and the supervisor does a poor job of the work outside the fields, even if the production is reduced, there will still be no harvest.
Even though we are now in the provincial capital, outside the village, we are still outside the village after all. What's more, my other two sons are making a living outside the village. The soap factory outside the village relies on the harvest from the fields.
After all, those seeds did not really come from Nongxiao, but from Mrs. Pei’s system mall, and she did not select the best varieties.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry too much. With weather like that, the rice yield will definitely decrease. But don't forget that less than half of the rice planted outside the village this year was from seeds brought back from the agricultural school. They were all grains that didn't survive. Even if the harvest is poor due to the drought, it's still enough to have food to eat. Letting my family go hungry is a big deal."
"Miaomiao, he's saying you've forgotten about that. That's bad, that's bad. Cereals are harder to grow than rice. Even if the drought reduces the yield, at least there's still no harvest."
You Xinlu knew about that matter. Before Accountant Wu came out of the soap factory, Zhang Degen thought that Accountant Wu was sensible, so he gave that matter to Accountant Wu to take charge.
