After returning home, Grandma Mo told her family about what had happened along the way.
Those who didn't go remained silent for a long time after hearing this, and finally sighed, "Sigh!"
Such is the way things are these days. Natural disasters are beyond human control. Humans are extremely small in the face of nature and have no way to resist them!
Therefore, all they can do is take countermeasures!
The signs are already emerging, serving as a warning to everyone to be prepared!
This year is expected to get even drier, so we need to plan ahead!
We need to inform the villagers about this, to remind everyone. Whether or not to make preparations is a personal matter!
Although Changna Village hasn't been greatly affected yet, closer observation reveals signs that things are slowly getting worse.
The water in the river is getting lower and lower, much lower than in previous years!
If everyone goes to see it every day, they might not notice the difference, but if someone hasn't gone to see it for a long time and then suddenly goes to see it, they will clearly feel a lot of changes!
This is not something to be taken lightly. It's always good to be prepared, as this concerns the survival of the whole family!
If nothing happens, that would be the best, and everything would be fine. But if it really happens, then it's all over, and there won't be time to prepare!
When disaster strikes, everyone looks out for themselves first; who has the capacity to look after others?
Moreover, if a disaster strikes, no one can predict when it will pass, and that period will be very difficult to endure!
This applies to everyone. Those who have more food reserves and are better prepared will live better lives. Otherwise, they may go hungry and starve to death, which is a common occurrence!
The villagers of Changna Village were unaware that disaster was so close to them, because they were living a very fulfilling life every day, which was much better than before. They were getting a little complacent and might not even be able to see the details!
This is probably what it means to boil a frog in lukewarm water.
Upon hearing Old Man Mo's words, Village Chief Liu's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a serious and solemn expression!
This is no joke!
They had gone through it more than a decade ago and were people who had survived it, so they naturally knew how serious it was and dared not be careless in the slightest!
After thinking it over carefully, the village chief realized that with Old Man Mo's guidance, he had indeed discovered many overlooked details, and now he felt a little scared when he thought about it!
Fortunately, the Mo family said it's not too late yet, and there's still time to prepare everything!
If something happens elsewhere, they should take it as a warning. This matter should be addressed sooner rather than later, and they should start preparing immediately!
Another collective meeting was held under the old tree in the village, and this time the content of the meeting was a bit heavy.
The villagers initially thought it was a joke, but seeing the village chief's serious expression, they stopped laughing and immediately stopped joking, listening attentively.
After the village chief finished speaking, the crowd erupted in cheers.
At any time and in any situation, there will always be several different opinions and views. It is impossible to reach an absolute consensus, otherwise there would be no such thing as a holdout household!
People have countless ideas, rich imaginations, and wild ideas, but in the end, they can only achieve the principle of the minority obeying the majority.
In this matter, everyone has the freedom to choose. The village chief simply informed them that a disaster might be coming, so that everyone could be mentally prepared and make preparations as soon as possible. Those who could should stock up on more dried goods for use in the event!
The message has been sent out, but how it is ultimately implemented is beyond the village chief's control and cannot be forced!
Who can force anyone else? Adults aren't three-year-olds anymore; they know what they should do and how to take responsibility!
Why would anyone need to teach you step by step?
You can ask if you don't understand, but no one will chase after you and force you to do it!
Nobody will do something that's thankless and exhausting!
The deep fryer had been working on it for a long time, and finally they figured it out. Most people listened and started thinking about how to get started, but a small number of people thought the village chief was exaggerating, that nothing was wrong, and that he was just talking nonsense and disturbing people's peace of mind, so they didn't listen and didn't take it seriously!
After the meeting, everyone started making various preparations.
But the matter in Changna Village could not be kept secret, and it quickly spread. After hearing about it, the nearby villages observed for several days and then began to follow suit.
Better safe than sorry!
If it were something that wasn't true, Changna Village definitely wouldn't do it. The village is developing very well now, there's absolutely no need for them to do these things. They're not just bored out of their minds!
There must be some truth to that. Just follow their lead. After all, they live their lives even without making any preparations!
Observe the situation while making preparations secretly; that's the right approach!
If Changna Village isn't afraid, then they have even less to fear, so what's there to worry about!
If a disaster really strikes, they can run away together!
Otherwise, they won't be prepared or packed anything, and everyone else will have already gone far away before they even leave the house!
Besides, with the climate changing so drastically, they had a vague feeling that something bad was going to happen. Although they didn't want it to happen, there were signs, so it was always good to be prepared!
As a result, people in the nearby villages also secretly began making preparations, and a flurry of activity ensued!
Amidst all this busyness, Changna Village still managed to hold a banquet.
This was arranged beforehand, and everyone had been notified. It wouldn't be good to back out at the last minute, so it was held as scheduled.
Good days are just around the corner, and there are several families doing just that!
Everything else remains the same; everything is proceeding according to plan.
People from nearby villages said it was unnecessary. At this point, it would be better not to hold it and save the money and food, which would be a huge sum!
Why continue holding the banquet just to save face? The banquet costs a lot of money!
Ugh! My eyes are sore from looking at this!
You know, they were determined to form a marriage alliance with Changna Village, and it's clear that Changna Village isn't short of money!
Unfortunately, the people of Changna Village have become increasingly picky. Unlike before, when they would be secretly happy if someone married into their village!
Now they have no shortage of girls, and matchmakers even go out of their way to find partners for their village!
To marry into the family, one has to catch their eye. With so many girls to choose from, the chances are slim!
But then again, you can receive gifts when you host a banquet. The people in Changna Village are all well-off, so the gifts they give will definitely not be stingy. When you mix what you spend and what you receive, it doesn't seem like a bad deal!
Tsk tsk!
I'm so envious and jealous!
The Mo family also attended the wedding banquet, but Su Nanxi didn't go. She was very busy and didn't really want to go, so the Mo family went on her behalf.
When Grandma Mo came back, she said that the food at the banquet couldn't compare to the taste of home cooking. The only thing worth looking at was the bride; she was quite pretty, and it was worth the long time they had been looking at each other!
"Grandma! A bride only comes once in her life, how can she not be beautiful! And her dress is the most beautiful too, all red, so festive!" Mo Jiarong said with a smile.
She didn't go with them; she saw them by the roadside.
Grandma Mo laughed and said with a smile, "That's true! From now on, our Rong will be the most beautiful bride!"
"Grandma! You've gone too far!"
