Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 324: Honggou Takes Effect

"Oh! I wonder how many people are going to go hungry again~!"

After hearing what Chunzhi said, An Yue smiled faintly and said, "Well, we won't starve. Although we can't grow rice, we can still grow some drought-resistant and easy-to-survive crops!"

The two chatted with each other for a while, and soon they arrived at their own paddy fields.

At this time, the paddy fields finally had water, but the bad thing was that there was too much water and it had already covered the dry rice stalks.

An Yue looked at Shuitian like this and felt a little confused.

I don’t know what to do. It’s too late to grow rice, and thinking about growing other crops is too limited in this era.

After much thought, I decided to leave it this way for now!

An Yue turned to Chunzhi and said, "Chunzhi, let's go to the village chief's house!"

"Miss, we are going to the west end of the village today. The path may be difficult to walk on. What do you want to talk to the village chief about?" Chunzhi looked embarrassed.

"The village chief and his wife usually take good care of us. It has been raining heavily for several days. It is reasonable for me to go and see how the village chief's family is doing."

"Well, Miss is so nice!" Chunzhi said, and followed An Yue along the path to the west end of the village.

Along the way, the road was muddy and it was very difficult to walk.

Either the road collapsed or the slope collapsed, and in several places the road was blocked by huge water flows.

Normally, it only takes half a quarter of an hour to run to the west end of the village, but today it took me two quarters of an hour to walk.

In the entire Baili Village, the population is more concentrated in the west end of the village.

An Yue and Chun Zhi were walking along the path. They saw several villagers' thatched houses on the road, all of which were blown into pieces by the strong wind.

Some of the roofs had their thatched roofs blown to pieces, some even had their beams exposed, and some of the walls were so mottled from being washed away by rain that they looked like they would collapse at any time.

Fortunately, the rain stopped today and the men in the family began to repair the house.

An Yue and Chunzhi continued to go to the village chief's house.

The two soon arrived at the gate of the village chief's house, and An Yue walked up and knocked on the gate.

dong dong dong.

"Here it comes!" It was Qin's voice coming from the yard.

After a few breaths, the door was opened.

When Qin saw that it was An Yue, surprise was revealed on her face.

She walked forward, took An Yue's hand, and said enthusiastically, "Yue Yue, come in quickly."

"Aunt, we went for a walk in the fields and came here to see how things are going here." As she said that, An Yue leaned over to look into the yard.

"You are such a thoughtful girl!"

An Yue and Chun Zhi walked into the yard carefully on the slippery ground.

She looked around the yard and found that there was nothing wrong with the structure of the house. Only the tiles on the roof were blown away in some places by the strong wind.

The grape trellis in the yard was also a little messy due to the strong wind, but overall it was still intact.

After Qin closed the gate of the courtyard, the three of them walked towards the main house.

Qin said as she walked, "It has been raining heavily for several days. Fortunately, Yueyue suggested digging a flood ditch so that all the rainwater in front of and behind the house can be drained outside. Otherwise, who knows what terrible scene it would be like now!"

An Yue put down her backpack and poured the potatoes in the basket onto the ground one by one.

She smiled and said, "Aunt, these are the potatoes that Yueyue planted. They were just dug out. Yueyue hasn't tasted them yet to see if they are delicious. Aunt, please taste them for Yueyue first!"

Qin quickly squatted down and quickly put the potatoes that An Yue poured out back into the backpack.

She said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "My dear, this is not allowed. In this situation, every family is short of food. Why did you bring these potatoes to your aunt? This is not allowed, this is not allowed!"

An Yue tried to stop her, saying, "Aunt, Yueyue's family still has some food left, so they won't starve for the time being. Please stay here, Aunt!"

The two men squatted on the ground, moving politely back and forth.

Chunzhi, who was standing by, looked at the two of them and couldn't help but snickering, "If you two just keep working on it for a while, I'm afraid you won't have to peel these potatoes anymore."

After hearing this, Qin and An Yue smiled at each other.

An Yue smiled and said, "Aunt, look! Chunzhi is laughing at us."

Qin smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I will accept it now. Please don't send it again next time."

An Yue nodded, stood up, and asked, "Huh? Why don't I see Uncle Weng and Uncle Jing?"

"They left early in the morning, saying they were going to walk around the village and check out the conditions of the villagers' houses."

An Yue rubbed the mud off her hands and said, "On this journey, I saw several thatched houses that were blown into a mess by the strong wind."

Qin sighed, "When there was no rain, everyone hoped for rain. But now it's raining, it's like the sky has been pierced, and it's raining endlessly."

After Qin finished speaking, she asked, "Oh, by the way, how is Yueyue's family doing?"

An Yue smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Yueyue's house is newly built, so there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that the rainwater dripping from the front and back of the house has made a lot of holes."

"Okay, okay, it's okay, it's okay!" Qin smiled and nodded with relief.

An Yue stood up and said, "Seeing that my aunt's house is fine, Yueyue is relieved. We have been out of the house for quite a while, and it's time to go back."

"Okay then, auntie won't keep Yueyue here. You two should walk slowly, the road is very slippery." Qin stood up and walked the two to the door.

After leaving the village chief's house, An Yue and Chun Zhi walked along the road towards home.

After walking a few steps, I saw that the thatched house that Li Wu's family had just built was blown into a mess by the strong wind.

An Yue didn't say anything, but just shook her head helplessly and continued walking towards home with Chunzhi.

The mud on the road was above my ankles, and with every step I could feel the mud on the soles of my feet moving back and forth between my toes.

An Yue and Chun Zhi walked carefully, fearing that they would fall down accidentally. They really walked "one step at a time".

There were many large potholes with water on the road, so they had to take a detour and walk across the dry grass on the side of the road.

As she walked, An Yue discovered that there were a lot of half-dried grasses on the roadside.

One of the grasses is easily recognizable at a glance – Artemisia annua.

She remembered that Artemisia annua could clear away heat, relieve summer heat, cool blood and stop bleeding, and dispel malaria.

She remembered that in the 21st century, every summer when the weather was hot, her grandfather would pick some on the roadside and bring them home when he came home from working in the fields, and drink them like tea.

At that time, An Yue kept pestering her grandfather with questions, and every time she asked, her grandfather would force her to drink a bowl of herbal medicine that was extremely bitter.

She picked a branch and held it to her nose to smell it, and couldn't help but sigh: "These grasses don't need anyone to plant them, they are gifts from nature."

Then, she handed the Artemisia annua in her hand to Chunzhi and said:
