Chapter 14



At 4:30 in the afternoon, half an acre of cabbage and one acre of potatoes had been harvested and transported back.

The potato production was pretty good, with a total harvest of 3,500 kilograms.

They come in different sizes.

The largest one weighs two kilograms, the smallest ones are smaller than eggs, but the most common ones are medium-sized potatoes.

We planted cabbage on half an acre of land and harvested 2,500 kilograms.

Because they were harvested early, the cabbages are not very big.

The weight of a single piece is about four to six pounds, and it is relatively well-proportioned.

There is no rush to store the potatoes and cabbages that have just been harvested. Of course, there is no place to put them even if you want to.

Finally, they were all poured out and piled in the corner.

Lu Changge and Su Qingyun prepared today's dinner together.

However, Su Qingyun was absent-minded the whole time, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that he was worried about something.

But Lu Changge didn't ask anything, as if he didn't see anything.

Seeing this, Su Qingyun's eyes became a little dim.

He was still thinking about waiting for his husband to ask him what happened, and then he would tell him what happened to him.

But...why didn't my husband ask him?

Wasn't he obvious enough?

After dinner, Lu Changge gave Tuanzi a bath and carried him to the west room.

Erhei also followed in and then lay down at the foot of the bed.

"Go to bed well and don't chat with Er Teng too late." Lu Changge reminded as usual.

"Okay." Tuanzi said in a baby voice.

After talking to the kid for a few words, Lu Changge went out.

When I returned to the room, the bed curtains were already drawn.

Lu Changge blew out the oil lamp, took off his shoes, opened the bed curtains and went in.

The moonlight is still bright tonight, but it is blocked by the bed curtains.

Even so, Lu Changge could clearly see Su Qingyun lying on the bed with a slightly bulging belly.

Naturally, I also saw the confusion on his face.

Lu Changge lay down and habitually took out a palm-leaf fan to fan his wife.

"Wife, are you worried today?"

"You figured it out..." Su Qingyun paused and said softly.

"Well, what's been keeping you up all day?" Lu Changge asked knowingly.

"That's right... I found that I can make things disappear..." Su Qingyun said in a low voice.

Su Qingyun was afraid that he would not believe her, so after hesitating for a moment, she reached out and took the palm-leaf fan from her husband's hand, "Just like this..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the palm-leaf fan in Su Qingyun's hand disappeared.

"Husband, have I turned into a monster?" Su Qingyun didn't dare to look up at him, and said with a trembling voice.

Lu Changge turned to face him, and the uneasiness and fear on Su Qingyun's face were clearly visible.

Overdoing it.

"Don't let your imagination run wild. If you are a monster, then what am I?"

As Lu Changge spoke, a bun appeared in his hand. It was the one that Su Qingyun disappeared from this morning.

Huh?

etc!

Isn't it said that food storage containers can only store food?

How could the daughter-in-law put the palm-leaf fan in there?

Besides, he just wanted to take out the palm-leaf fan.

Where is the palm-leaf fan?

As if knowing what the host was going to ask, the system appeared immediately.

[Sharers of food storage can ignore storage limits.]

Um?

There is such a good thing?!

[Then why couldn’t I take it out just now?]

[Because the host cannot take out non-food items.] The system explained.

The conversation between Lu Changge and the system lasted only a few moments.

When Su Qingyun saw a familiar-looking bun in her husband's hand, her pupils shrank instantly.

This is... the bun that disappeared from his hands this morning!

"Husband! You..." Su Qingyun grabbed his arm excitedly.

Lu Changge took the bun back from his hand.

"Don't get excited, watch out for your stomach." Lu Changge held his shoulder.

Then I explained it to him.

Lu Changge did not tell his wife about his origins, nor did he say much about the existence of the system.

He would not mention these things on his own initiative.

After listening to her husband's explanation, Su Qingyun was a little confused.

It took him a long time to sort out the information he had received from Lu Changge.

Basically, her husband had a dream half a month ago, in which he dreamed that various natural disasters and man-made calamities would occur in the near future.

After waking up from a dream, the ability to make things disappear appears.

According to Su Qingyun, this ability means being able to hide things and take them out when needed.

The reason why he also has this ability is that his husband shared it with him.

After figuring it out, Su Qingyun's focus was not on this ability, but on...

"Husband, has a drought occurred?" Su Qingyun asked nervously.

"Yes, there is still half a month before the locust plague appears."

"Locust plague?" Su Qingyun asked in a puzzled tone.

This was the first time Su Qingyun heard this word. Obviously, he did not know the severity of the locust plague.

The last locust plague in this dynasty was a hundred years ago.

Even today's farmers have mostly never heard of it.

Only the older generation understands how terrible the locust plague is.

"There is a proverb that sums up the locust plague."

"What?" Su Qingyun asked subconsciously.

"When locusts pass through, not a single blade of grass grows." Lu Changge replied.

After hearing this, Su Qingyun suddenly shuddered.

"What are you afraid of? I'm here." Lu Changge leaned over and patted his back soothingly.

"Um……"

Although she said this, Su Qingyun was still a little confused.

The drought alone was enough to make people angry, but then there were all kinds of natural disasters one after another.

Can their family really survive this safely?

And can the baby in his belly grow up safely?

This is all unknown.

Su Qingyun didn't feel sad for long, because he suddenly thought of a question.

"Husband, should we start saving some water now?"

The drought will last for a year.

By then the river will have dried up, and there may even be no water left in the wells.

"There's no rush for water. Let's harvest the crops in the fields first in the next few days," Lu Changge explained.

“Do we also need to harvest rice in advance?”

"No, leave it on for a while longer."

Lu Changge thought about it and decided to harvest the rice at the end of June.

The locust plague really broke out in mid-July.

Although Lu Changge has never experienced a locust plague, he guessed that the number of locusts in the early stages of a locust plague would not be large.

Before an outbreak, locust numbers probably accumulated slowly.

Su Qingyun hesitated for a long time before asking in a low voice, "Sir, should we tell other people in the village about the locust plague?"

"So what do you think?" Lu Changge did not answer but asked back.

"I...I don't know." Su Qingyun shook his head honestly.

Su Qingyun felt that even if he said it, others probably wouldn't believe it.

But if she didn't tell him and let him watch the locusts destroy the food in the fields, Su Qingyun would feel guilty.

Lu Changge understood what his wife was thinking, which is probably the psychological journey that many ordinary people would go through.

Of course, if it were the former Lu Changge, he would probably just stand by and watch.

If he was in a good mood, Lu Changge might give him a reminder or two without harming his personal interests.

However, he is a family man now and he has to consider his wife's feelings.

Those irrelevant people are not worthy of being kept in his wife's mind.

"Don't worry. When the time comes, find a few children to spread the news of the locust plague in the village. The elderly in the village will definitely be restless." Lu Changge gave a solution.

As for whether they believed it or not, and whether they wanted to harvest the grain in advance, that was none of Lu Changge's business.

"Yes, why didn't I think of that?" Su Qingyun said with sudden enlightenment.

The stone that was weighing on my heart was finally removed.

Seeing that he was finally happy, Lu Changge said, "It's getting late, go to bed."

"I don't want to sleep yet. Let's talk for a while." Su Qingyun shook her head and played with her husband's hand.

Okay, the world is big, but my wife is the most important.

Lu Changge could only talk to his wife for a while, and as they spoke, his voice gradually became lower.

After a while, the only sound left in my ears was the sound of light breathing.

The next morning, Lu Changge was the first to get up.

Lu Changge walked out of the house lightly and started today's sign-in.

[System, sign in.]

[Ding - Sign-in successfully on the eighteenth day of fleeing famine, and get the sign-in reward: two kilograms of rice, five kilograms of beef ribs, and three bottles of purified water. The sign-in reward has been put into the system space. ]

Lu Changge first put the rice and purified water into the storage container, took the beef ribs to the kitchen, and ate them at noon.

Then call out the system.

[System, are there any other ways to store cabbage and potatoes?]

[Yes, I'll find a book for you.] This time the system responded promptly.

Not long after, a recipe book in simplified Chinese appeared in Lu Changge's hand.

[I want to save methods, not recipes.]

Lu Changge knew that given the nature of the system, the straightforwardness just now was premeditated.

It turned out to be just as he expected!

[That's it! Isn't it right to make them into food and store them?]

Lu Changge: “…”

That seems to be the case...

Open the catalog and find the potato page.

The system was also watching from the side, and when it saw how the potato chips were made, it suddenly became excited.

[Eh? Potato chips are good. Make some for me...as a snack for your son.]

Lu Changge ignored the system's call and continued to turn to the next page until he saw the method of making potato flour.

If you eat too many potatoes, they all taste the same and you’ll feel sick of them.

However, if it is made into potato flour, it can be eaten for a long time.

Finally, Lu Changge decided to make half of the potatoes into potato flour.

If you have Chinese cabbage, take out half of it and make kimchi.
