Yao Hua said, "Xiao Nian, there are refugees everywhere now, and it's very chaotic everywhere. I will go to the county town with you. You are just a little girl, and if you encounter danger, you will be finished."
Geng Tian said: "How about I go with you guys? There are many refugees in the county town, and I'm afraid they will steal things."
Qin Nian smiled and said, "No need. You all go back to the village and put your things away. It's broad daylight and the refugees won't dare to rob, so nothing will happen.
Auntie, I know some Kung Fu, have you forgotten? If I really encounter refugees, I can't beat them, but I can always run away."
Yao Hua also smiled and no longer insisted on accompanying Qin Nian to the county town.
Although she didn't know Qin Nian's secret, during the time they were together, she increasingly realized that Qin Nian was not an ordinary girl.
She seemed very capable, as if many things were not difficult for her. She had lived for more than ten years, and this was the first time she had seen such a capable girl.
She felt stupid and couldn't understand Qin Nian.
Geng Tian pushed the big cart away, and Geng Zhenjiang and Yao Hua followed behind with the small carts. Yao Hua also reminded Qin Nian: "Go early and come back early, don't delay on the road."
Qin Nian nodded in agreement.
After they disappeared, she thought: put all the pots, pans, and utensils into the space.
In an instant, all the pots and pans in the greenhouse entered the space and disappeared. If the people from the west side of the Geng family came back at this moment, they would probably be scared to death.
It saves a lot of trouble if things can be stored in space.
All the uneaten potatoes, cabbages, radishes in the vegetable cellar, as well as the firewood purchased after the business opened, were put into the space.
There was nothing in the greenhouse and the house. Even if refugees came, they were just going through the motions. There was no food or blankets here, so it was uninhabitable.
Qin Nian went into the county town carrying a large bamboo basket.
I bought 300 kilograms of flour and 300 kilograms of rice, and threw them into the space when no one was paying attention.
I also bought several hundred kilograms of cornmeal and a lot of pork, and found an opportunity to throw them into the space.
It was bought in more than ten batches from several rice shops.
Once the border war breaks out, the price of food will soar. The weather is not dry now, I hope the land can be planted.
But even if she planted the land, there were so many refugees and if the land was robbed in the fall, she had to make sure her family had food.
After buying the food, Qin Nian went to buy some seeds. If nothing else, the land beside the Mimosa Pampas Grass on the mountain had to be planted.
The land is three mu, which can be used to grow crops and vegetables, and is more than enough to feed the family.
I also bought some odds and ends and put them all into the space.
Qin Nian then returned to Dawa Village. When he was about to enter the village, he took out the backpack from the space and put it on his back.
Yao Hua was afraid that Ye Meizi's house could not accommodate him, so he originally planned to return to their own home in Lihua Village.
Ye Meizi disagreed, saying that refugees were now pouring into Yi County and were beginning to overflow into various villages.
Lihua Village is small, and there are several households scattered at the foot of the mountain. If the refugees really enter the village, they will just hide in the mountains and no one will be able to do anything to them.
Because of this, it was impossible for them to take part in the defense of the village during these chaotic times.
It would be safer for the family to stay together.
The newly built house was quite spacious. Geng Feng was not at home, so the three women slept in the east room and the man slept in the west room. It was not crowded at all.
Besides, the men all have to go on patrol and can't be home at the same time.
Ye Meizi was determined to make Tang Xiaomei leave when Geng Zhenlan and Tang Laoer came back. If she refused to come back, she would beat her up and drive her away.
She said these words without avoiding Tang Xiaomei at all, which shows that Ye Meizi really doesn't treat Tang Xiaomei as a human being.
Qin Nian came back and was shocked to hear Mrs. Li say that Tang Xiaomei had propped up her chicken's mouth.
It's too much and too childish to behave like that towards a chick.
"The mouths of our chickens were full of blood and swollen. I didn't dare to eat them."
The grandmother comforted Mrs. Li: "It's okay, it will be fine in two days.
I was in such a hurry after buying the land last year that I didn’t even build the courtyard wall that I had originally planned to build.
When the weather warms up in a while, I will definitely repair it.”
Qin Nian was silent for a while, then he looked at Granny Li and said, "It would be better to build a wall between Aunt Geng's house and mine.
Otherwise, it would be fine if I was at home, but if I wasn't, Tang Xiaomei would come up with some way to harm our things."
Mrs. Li was very sad, "It was so good before, but something like this happened and ruined everything.
Geng Feng also went to the border, did you know about this?"
Qin Nian nodded: "Aunt Geng told me. It's good to go out and try your luck. At least I can get rid of the troubles in front of me.
As for the future, no one can predict what will happen.”
Houses in several nearby villages were robbed and two people were beaten to death.
But there was a patrol team in Dawa Village, and the refugees did not dare to enter the village. After all, their size was no match for the more than 100 people in two patrol teams.
Ye Meizi and Yao Hua took Geng Tiangengdi to the county town. Ye Meizi went to the money shop to exchange some silver and also bought a lot of food.
Yao Hua wanted to pay part of the money, but Ye Meizi refused, saying that Qin Nian had given him several banknotes, and that the family would not need much for meals.
Especially since they mainly ate cornmeal, not as good as when they were with Qin Nian.
Qin Nian often moved a big chair and sat under the window to bask in the sun. Cuizhi also often came to talk to Qin Nian.
As more and more people came to the East and West Courts, Tang Xiaomei was an unwelcome person and felt very uncomfortable every day.
She was looking forward to her parents coming to see her as soon as possible, and occasionally she would go to the village entrance and look towards her home.
Dahe Village is not far away, but she doesn’t dare to go back.
More than twenty days of leisure passed, the western month ended and May arrived.
The villagers started to farm. The village head was a very serious man. Even during the busy farming season, the patrols never stopped, especially during the day. The village head would remind them several times a day to pay more attention.
Dawa Village is located in a huge valley. Due to the large population of this village, every family can spare two or three people to patrol, and the village head is capable, so no family in their village has been robbed.
Qin Nian bought the land from Mr. Zhang and planted wheat on the rest except for a part reserved at the edge of the field.
Strawberries and vegetables cannot be planted for the time being, otherwise they would be like being planted for the refugees.
The picking shed will not be built for now. In such a chaotic world, we can only wait and see for a few months.
Making money is small, safety is big.
Qin Nian and Geng Tiangeng also planted wheat on the land on the mountain, and like last year, they also planted a lot of vegetables.
The only difference is that Geng Feng is missing.
In his spare time, Qin Nian often went up the mountain alone to dig dandelions and pick mushrooms.
That day, Qin Nian picked a lot of shepherd's purse. After returning home, she first mixed a bowl or two of noodles and put them aside to wake her up.
She blanched the shepherd's purse, took out a piece of meat from the space, chopped it up, and chopped some onions, planning to make dumplings.
Mrs. Li looked confused: "Xiao Nian, did you go up the mountain or into the county town this morning?"
If we go up the mountain, where do we get the meat? If we go into the county, where do we get the shepherd's purse?
Qin Nian put his arm around Li Pozi's shoulders and whispered, "Grandma, I went up the mountain. I didn't buy the meat today, I bought it the day I moved back. After all, I have a place to put these things, and there are still a lot. Just eat it, don't ask."
Mrs. Li nodded: "Okay, grandma, just eat it, no need to ask."
She was very happy, but at the same time she also had a feeling that sometimes she couldn't understand her own thoughts.
He looked up at Qin Nian again and said, "Grandma didn't tell anyone else."
