Chapter 187 Su Wu: Scared the baby to death!
Su Wu was named the title of the county lord of Changping, which was really lively for a few days, but for the villagers in the village, the lively lasted for a few months because of the busy farming season.
The crops in the field need to be weeded and watered. Who has the time to pay attention to these things?
For farmers, crops are the source.
In addition, Su Wu is just a little baby, eating, playing and sleeping every day.
It didn't rain for ten months, and the villagers were a little worried.
Su Laosi was also busy. Every day, he had to drive a ox cart and pull large wooden barrels to the river to transport water to the ground for irrigation.
Because of the existence of the ox cart, Su Laosi was much lighter. In contrast, many people in the village were still carrying water to water the crops in the field.
On the evening of that day, Su Laosi had just returned home with a ox cart when he met Su Zhengping at the door.
"Uncle Zhengping, is there anything wrong?"
Su Laosi parked the ox cart next to him and greeted Su Zhengping.
Su Zhengping sighed and said, "It's something, let's talk over there!"
Su Laosi naturally would not refuse.
Although their family has been much better now, Su Laosi is a grateful and nostalgic person. He has always remembered Su Zhengping's help to him.
"It has been almost a month since it rained. If it has not rained yet, the harvest this year will probably be bad!"
If the harvest is not good, the people will have a hard time.
Su Zhengping sighed again, "Today, I met several village officials in the town and were talking about this. They asked me to ask you, can Wu Yaer collect less land tax this year?"
"Uncle Zhengping, this is certain!"
Su Laosi didn't need to ask Su Wu, he could immediately give a positive answer to this matter.
"Fourth brother, uncle really read you right!"
Su Zhengping was really relieved after hearing Su Laosi’s answer.
He came to find Su Laosi this time, and he was actually quite nervous.
In the past, he was the clan leader and the patriarch. He was full of confidence when talking to Su Laosi. But now this situation is very different.
Su Laosi first recognized General Zhou as his adoptive father, and now his youngest daughter was enthroned by the emperor as the lord of Changping County. The entire Changping Town area became Su Wu's fief.
Unless they left Changping Town, they would have lived a better and worse life, all within Su Wu's thoughts.
Su Wu is still young now. If anything happens, it must be Su Laosi and the Song couple who helped to make the decision.
If Su Laosi made any changes, this would be really difficult to deal with.
Fortunately, Su Laosi was still the same Su Laosi.
"Uncle Zhengping, in this way, if you meet those village masters again, you will tell them that if this is really a disaster year, you will be able to avoid all this talent!"
Su Laosi farmed himself, and naturally knew how sad it was to confiscate the harvest in the disaster year.
It’s better to just not have enough food. When you don’t have to eat, you have to eat grassroots and tree bark, and some people even sell their children. Of course, in the year of the great disaster, Su Laosi grew up so old that he has never encountered it.
Even in the disaster year, the court will distribute disaster relief grain.
"Okay, I'll let Yaowei and the other three villages pass the message tomorrow."
"That's right, I won't delay you, I'll go back too!"
"Uncle Zhengping, go slowly, I won't give you a gift!"
Su Laosi watched Su Zhengping walk towards the village, while he continued to drive the ox cart to the door of his house. Then he took the ox cart off the ox cart, walked around to the cow shed in the backyard, and tied the ox.
The trough in the cowshed was already full of forage.
The forage was harvested by Song and his four sisters from the mountain.
Due to the drought, there were not many grasses near the village. If you wanted to prepare enough materials for the cow, you had to go into the mountain. Song's family was naturally worried that the four sisters of Da Ya'er went alone, so they went with them.
As for Su Wu, she was sent to Mr. Zhou.
Mr. Zhou welcomed this with both hands.
The old man instilled a lot of life philosophy into Su Wu every day, some of which Su Wu knew, and some that Su Wu had never heard of.
When Su Laosi returned home, he told his wife Song about what he told Su Zhengping, and also told Su Wu.
"Wu Ya'er, do you think your father is doing the right thing?"
Su Laosi looked at Su Wu who was destroying the egg custard and spoke with a smile.
"Yes, yes, yes, dad did it too right!"
Su Wu looked up, swallowed the egg custard in her mouth, and answered seriously.
Su Laosi touched Su Wu's head and said, "My Wu Ya'er is such a good boy!"
"Of course I'm a good boy!"
Su Wu giggled.
Will there be a severe drought this year?
Su Wu didn't think there was such a possibility.
She is God’s favorite baby. How could this kind of disaster year fall on her? However, it seems that it has not rained for some time!
Su Wu ate the egg custard and ran to the yard to look at the sky to the west, which was a little late to burn the clouds.
It doesn't seem like it will rain.
Forget it, don't think about it anymore!
I am just a little baby, not God!
...
At night, Su Wu had a rare dream, a nightmare!
I dreamed that a severe drought lasted for three years, with bones everywhere and no one was everywhere. She could not see Su Laosi, Song, or her four sisters.
Around her, many people were chasing her and saying they wanted to eat her.
So Su Wu was awakened by fright.
When she woke up, she did not make any noise, but prayed silently.
"Dreams are all against each other, against each other!"
Su Wu was really scared.
She prayed for a long time, and finally fell back asleep when it was almost dawn.
...
When Su Laosi and Song got up, they saw Su Wu still sleeping, so they got up very carefully and did not make any noise.
Outside, it is still a sunny day!
When Su Laosi and Song went out, they saw that the chimney had started to smoke.
The four Da Ya'er and sisters have already gotten up and are making meals in the kitchen.
"The head of the family, it's not really a severe drought!"
Song was also a little worried.
Su Laosi smiled and said, "Don't worry too much. Even if it's a severe drought, I'll just transport water to irrigate the land every day. We have cows now, so we should be able to hold on!"
When Su Laosi started to transport water and irrigate the land for another day, many villages in Changping Town were already gathering in the town.
Su Zheng Pingyuan planned to let his three sons travel to villages one by one and say hello so that everyone would not panic.
Nowadays, everyone gathers in the town, which saves a lot of trouble.
When Su Zhengping said that if there was a really severe drought this year and all the land tax was exempted, everyone was completely relieved.
In less than two days, all the villages in Changping Town knew about the news, so everyone was happy. He was very grateful to Su Wu, the little Changping County Lord.
