"Well, you go find him when the time comes."
It was just a heavy snowfall, and the villagers didn't take it seriously at all. It was just a late spring cold snap. Besides, wasn't there still some time before the spring ploughing? What's the hurry?
"Dad, the temperature seems to be dropping again." Zhao Xiaoyu is very afraid of cold. This body may be afraid of the cold and is extremely sensitive to temperature.
"Really? I don't feel anything."
"Yes, it's even colder than the snow two days ago."
Zhao Dashu didn't think much of it. "Maybe the snow is going to melt. Melting snow is always colder than snow. If you're afraid of the cold, go inside. It's warm inside."
Zhao Xiaoyu had experienced the sudden natural disaster of the end of the world, and was very concerned about the change in weather. "Dad, go talk to the village chief, Uncle Liu, and ask if it would be better to store more food."
"You mean..." Zhao Dashu thought she was overthinking. "How could that be? It's just a late spring cold snap. Don't think too much, little girl. It's okay."
My daughter is just too envious. It is said that capable people also make great sacrifices, which is absolutely true. Just one more snowfall can make me think so much. In the past, it often snowed after the New Year. He couldn't remember how many times it had snowed, but he still went on to plow in the spring and get a good harvest.
Okay, maybe she was overthinking it. She was not familiar with the weather here. She was indeed overly sensitive.
"Dashu, Dashu, let me tell you, I heard that your eldest brother went out to watch the lanterns and fell flat on his face. Now he's lying at home and dares not go out. His face is bruised and swollen." Liu Shunzi laughed with gloating pleasure. Boss Zhao usually looks at the sky, but maybe he raised his head too much and didn't know how to look down at the ground.
Ugh, idiot!
"Shunzi, when do you think the weather will get warm this year?"
"It should be warmer after the snow melts. You look so comfortable. We are all busy with spring farming, but you are so idle. Why don't you come and help me farm?"
"Get lost, I'm a slut, I feel uncomfortable if I don't work? Do you think I should buy some land to plant?"
"That's fine. We farmers feel secure having land. If you have money, you can find a human trafficker to help you keep an eye out for buying contiguous land. Then you can rent it out directly and it will be easier to take care of." When it comes to farming, big trees should not be planted. It's tiring and I don't make any money.
"Hey, the place is easy to go. I'll go find someone and buy a mule cart."
"Want to buy a car?"
"Yeah, it's convenient for going out."
"Okay, make the carriage bigger, and I'll follow you from now on, brother."
"If you want to sit, pay the money!"
"I'll give myself to you..."
"Get lost!"
The snow did not melt in a few days as everyone thought, and the sky did not continue to snow. It was just gloomy and cold, with no sunlight in the sky, and no sign of warmth at all.
"Dad, it's March, the weather is wrong!"
"That's not right, girl. What do you think we should do? If the snow melts soon, it will affect the time of spring ploughing and the harvest will definitely be bad. If it doesn't melt, this year will be a disaster year." Zhao Dashu's heart was pounding. Disaster years. I heard from the old people in the village that in famine years, the bark of the trees and the weeds on the back mountain would be eaten clean.
"Go find the village chief and buy some food now while the price is low. If there is no harvest this year, food will not be cheap all year round."
What they mean is that if we miss the autumn harvest, everyone will have to tighten their belts for the whole year. If you don't have the grain from your own fields, you have to buy it. If more people buy it, won't the grain store raise the price?
"I'll go find the village chief." The matter was serious and Zhao Dashu didn't dare to delay for a moment.
