Hearing what Lin Guyu said, Chi Hang stretched out his hand to rub Lin Guyu's shoulder and said softly, "Yes."
It's getting colder.
That morning, when Lin Guyu woke up in a daze, he heard it was snowing outside.
Slowly getting up, Lin Guyu felt the cold air coming, put on a coat, got off the bed, and ran to the window.
Reaching out to open the window, Lin Guyu couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth when he saw that the sky and the earth were covered with a layer of white.
Lin Guyu hurriedly ran to the bed and woke Chi Hang up, with a little excitement in his eyebrows, "Brother Chi Hang, get up quickly, it's snowing."
Every time it snows, Lin Guyu gets inexplicably excited.
Chi Hang put on his clothes slowly and followed Lin Guyu to the window.
When the window was moved, a gust of cold wind blew in, and everything outside turned into white.
Snowflakes fell sporadically from the dark red sky.
"It still looks good when it snows," Lin Guyu said, turning his head and glancing at Chi Hang, "It's time to build a snowman."
Chi Hang smiled softly.
Lin Guyu would do such a thing every year when it snowed.
He was already used to it.
Perhaps the children were also infected by Lin Guyu, and they were all playing in the yard.
Xu Zixuan and Dou Sha went to school early.
Dong'er and Nian Gao were struggling to roll the big snowball.
Only Tuanzi stood in the door with a serious face and looked at everyone.
Lin Guyu saw Tuanzi's serious expression, walked slowly to Tuanzi, reached out and touched Tuanzi's head.
"What are you thinking about?"
Lin Guyu squatted down and looked at his dumplings seriously, "Are you afraid of the cold?"
Tuanzi shook his head slightly and said seriously, "It snowed early this year."
"Yes," Lin Guyu said, slightly curling his lips and glancing at the sky, "I'm afraid there will be a few more snows this year."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Guyu frowned as if he had thought of something.
Usually it doesn't snow so early.
This year it snowed early, and there is a high possibility of drought next year.
Of course, wealthy people like them don't worry about draft issues.
After all, the capital is surrounded by rivers, so there is no need to worry about draft issues.
But those who farm have to hope that God will reward them with rain to water their crops.
If it doesn't rain next year, the harvest will be small next year, and the Huns from the north will definitely take the opportunity to attack.
Lin Guyu thought of this and suddenly felt that she could be the emperor herself and worry about this and that all day long.
However, the snow still needs to be saved.
Not only that, canals must be dug in the fields to build reservoirs.
The saved snow water can be used to irrigate the farmers next summer.
"Master said that if it snows early, there may be a severe drought in the coming year."
Tuanzi said in an adult manner, frowning and looking at Lin Guyu seriously, "Mom, what is a severe drought?"
Lin Guyu was very surprised when she heard Tuanzi say the first sentence, but when she heard the latter sentence, she couldn't help but laugh.
Reaching out and touching Tuanzi's head, Lin Guyu said calmly, "A severe drought means it doesn't rain much, so we have no water to drink, and farmers can't grow crops."
"Isn't there still water in the river and in the well?"
Tuanzi looked at Lin Guyu in confusion and asked in confusion.
"But during droughts, the river water may not be enough," Lin Guyu explained simply.
"If the snow that falls now turns into water and is stored, there will be some extra water by then."
Tuanzi nodded in understanding, suddenly feeling that his mother was so powerful and knew everything.
"Go play with your sister and don't think too much."
Lin Guyu didn't want Tuanzi to think about so many things every day.

After all, those things are what adults should worry about.
Lin Guyu stood up and walked to Chi Hang, sat aside and said what he had just thought of.
"You mean to build the reservoir?"
Chi Hang frowned slightly and asked doubtfully.
"Tell your elder brothers and sisters to let them store more water at home.
Let's dig a reservoir directly in the backyard.
Even if there is a drought, we don't have to worry."
Lin Guyu wanted everyone to dig.
There is a reservoir to store all the snow water in winter, but who would do such a thing in the middle of winter?
After all, farmers finally have a rest at this time.
"I'll talk to my elder brother and sister-in-law later."
Chi Hang said this with a serious face, "We still have a lot of land in our hands.
When the time comes, we will also dig a reservoir in our land, otherwise we will The dealers may die from drought.”
"Yeah."
Lin Guyu responded with a smile.
Chi Hang stood up and walked to Lin Guyu, lowered his head and pressed a kiss on her forehead, whispering in her ear, "Then you rest at home, I'll let someone else do the work."
"Okay."
Lin Guyu watched Chi Hang leave, then picked up Mrs.
Tang and walked outside.
Chi Hang gave orders to repair the reservoir, and found a few people to supervise the work, asking them to complete it before spring.
The Duke of Guo owns more than 4,000 acres of land.
Counting the land purchased by Chi Hang and Lin Guyu with their own money, the total is more than 7,000 acres.
With so much land, one reservoir is certainly not enough.
Building twenty reservoirs will definitely be enough.
Their land is not in the capital, but in Yancheng, which is two days away from the capital.
The land there is vast and sparsely populated.
Because Chi Hang gave the people who came to dig the reservoir two hundred cents a day, many people tried their best to dig the reservoir just for the two hundred cents.
Because of the cold weather, Lin Guyu took out all the thick clothes she had prepared early in the morning.
It was snowing outside, so she directly asked people to bake the thick clothes next to the fire pit.
It's only November, and I don't know how cold it will be in December.
The 12th day of the twelfth lunar month was the day when Xiaoxue got married.
Xiaoxue had no natal family, so Lin Guyu was busy helping her prepare the dowry.
Lin Guyu was counting the dowry to be prepared for Xiaoxue in the room.
He tilted his head and discussed with Xiao Hua beside him, "Xiao Hua, do you think there is anything missing?"
Xiao Hua looked at the pretend list in his hand and shook his head, "I have everything written on the list."
Taking the list from Xiao Hua's hand, Lin Guyu stood among the eight big boxes and counted them again anxiously.
It seemed that there was really nothing missing, and then he walked out from the middle of the wooden boxes.
Sitting lazily on the chaise longue, Lin Guyu put the list on the table nearby, "Go and lock these wooden boxes, so you don't need to count them anymore."
"Yes."
Xiao Hua responded and quickly locked the door.
"Xiaoxue will get married in March next year," Lin Guyu said with some reluctance, looking at the small painting standing in the wooden box with a slight smile on his face, "You and Xu Leng Have you set a date yet?”
Xu Leng would bring some trinkets to Xiao Hua from time to time, but Lin Guyu didn't ask much, thinking that the two of them were in love and just let them go.
Xiao Hua paused for a moment to lock the lock, then looked up at Lin Guyu who was sitting not far away, and said shyly, "Madam, Mr.
Leng and I are still early."
Xiao Hua packed up everything and then walked towards Lin Guyu, "Madam, here are the keys, please keep them all."

Lin Guyu put the key into his pocket and said calmly, "You two should discuss the matter between you and Xu Lengfeng.
You are not young anymore."
Xiao Hua nodded with a flushed face and followed Lin Guyu outside.
Just as Lin Guyu was about to go find Xiaoxue who was staying in the room to embroider her dowry, before he could leave his yard, he heard someone say that the fourth lady was here, and he hurriedly invited Wang Xiaoqian in.
Wang Xiaoqian was supported by Xiaocui and came in from the outside, wearing a pink cloak.
As soon as she entered the room, Xiaocui helped Wang Xiaoqian take off her cloak, revealing the light pink satin cotton coat underneath.
Wang Xiaoqian is now three months old and has begun to show her pregnancy, but her dress is a little loose, covering her entire belly.
"You are so serious, you still come out in the cold weather," Lin Guyu couldn't help but chattered to Wang Xiaoqian, then raised his eyes to look at the small painting on the side, "Go and get a cup of ginger tea."
"Yes."
Xiao Hua responded and went out.
"It's not very cold.
There's a brazier inside the carriage, and I'm still holding Tang Pozi in my hand.
How could it be cold?"
Wang Xiaoqian said with a faint smile between her eyebrows.
"I'm afraid that I won't be able to walk in the future.
This I won’t bring you some New Year’s gifts in advance.”
Lin Guyu was a little dumbfounded, "Just ask the servants to send it here.
You can come here in person to do whatever you want, and it won't be too tiring."
Wang Xiaoqian just pursed her lips and smiled.
When he saw the New Year's gift prepared by Wang Xiaoqian, Lin Guyu looked at those things in surprise and calculated in his mind that they were worth hundreds of taels of silver.
Although Chi Ye has become an official, his money is very tight, and the money is all controlled by the Zhou family.
This time they gave so many gifts, maybe the Zhou family will still settle the score with Wang Xiaoqian later.
Thinking about this, Lin Guyu looked at Wang Xiaoqian beside him uneasily and said hesitantly, "There are a bit too many things this year."
Wang Xiaoqian couldn't remember her previous memories.
Now that she heard what Lin Guyu said, she looked at those annual gifts in confusion, "These were all prepared by my mother-in-law.
Weren't there so many before?"
Zhou Since Mrs.
Zhou prepared it herself, it is estimated that Mrs.
Zhou will not find anything against Wang Xiaoqian by then.
Lin Guyu is a little confused about what Mrs.
Zhou wants to do now, and is too lazy to think about it.
To be honest, "It wasn't that big before." many."
Xiao Hua came in from the outside with ginger tea, placed it next to Wang Xiaoqian, and then retreated to Lin Guyu.
Wang Xiaoqian looked at Lin Guyu in surprise, vaguely remembering that the relationship between her mother-in-law and her third sister-in-law was not good, and the vague memory flashed in her mind.
"This is all from the mother-in-law's heart.
Sister-in-law, just accept it with peace of mind."
Wang Xiaoqian said very calmly, picked up the tea cup on the side and took a slow sip.
A pregnant woman loves to talk about her baby most.
After Wang Xiaoqian waited for Lin Guyu to check her pulse, the two of them talked about the baby again.
She felt tired, and Wang Xiaoqian left in a carriage.
Sitting tiredly on the carriage, Xiaocui looked at Wang Xiaoqian and asked with some worry, "Fourth Madam, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Wang Xiaoqian shook her head and leaned her head against the carriage.
Her mind was a little confused and she was completely confused
