The whole family crosses to farm

Chapter 117
"How do you look like this?"

As soon as he got home, Lin Chunnong was hugged by his mother who was doing work under the shade of a tree.

"Look at her cheeks turning into red apples," Fang Xiaocao touched her daughter's face, carried her to the kitchen, poured several cups of mung bean soup from the pot, fed her daughter, and called her husband and son to come Drink water.

"Can we still get water from our well?" Lin Jiale sat in the shady kitchen, feeling as if he had returned to the normal world. He picked up a cup of cold mung bean soup and drank it all in one gulp.

Fang Xiaocao frowned, "Not too good, I see that the water level has obviously dropped. Today, at the end of autumn, I kept guarding the well to draw water. At first, the water level rose after a quarter of an hour, and then it took two quarters." The clock was three quarters of an hour. I only pumped half a bucket before, and the sand started to enter. At the end of autumn, I was worried, so I took the bucket and went to the wellhead of the village to mine."

"Didn't you see him when you came?"

Lin Jiale said: "The well in the village is running out of water. When I came here, I saw that most of the people carrying water came from the east of the village. They should all have gathered at the well on the east side of the village."

Lin Chunnong drank a large glass of mung bean water to quench his thirst, and said he was going to the village to find Qiumo.

"I'm going to draw pictures, so I can't go with you," Lin Chunxing said to his sister, putting down the cup in his hand.

Lin Chunnong said: "It's okay, it's not that I can't find a place."

Her father was worried and wanted to send her there, but Lin Chunnong waved his hands quickly, "I'm an adult, I won't get lost. Besides, I've been to Yangzhou by myself."

This incident was a pain in the hearts of the Lin Jiale couple and even Lin Chunxing. No matter whether it was due to rational analysis or not, they worked hard to get their daughter back. They did let their daughter stay in a place far away for more than half a month. .

Thinking about it now, Fang Xiaocao felt scared.

Lin Chunnong saw that his father, mother, and elder brother were silent, so he knew what they were thinking, so he stepped forward and hugged them one by one, and said, "I didn't suffer any grievances when I went there, and I wasn't afraid at all. If my father, mother, and elder brother Because of what I have suffered, I will blame myself and feel uncomfortable."

"Besides, I asked Xiaoxie to pass on the news to you." Lin Chunnong said seriously, "You know I won't suffer, why do you have to run away?"

Lin Jiale turned his head to one side, waved his hands and said: "Go, go, don't you just want to go out to play, daddy doesn't care, don't pick your ears and eyes anymore."

Lin Chunnong grinned, turned around and ran out bouncing around.

Cang Ya was not at home, so he probably went to grab water with Qiu Mo.

The mouth of the well in the east of the village is almost at the edge of Yishui Village. The well was drilled at the beginning for the convenience of watering the fields outside, so the well is very large, and the water has not run out until now.

When Lin Chunnong passed by Xianghe's house, he turned a corner and called her to join him. Unexpectedly, the fourth aunt said that she was queuing to fetch water, and she saw a group of children from a distance.

Different from other villages, the people who come to fetch water in their village are some children from the family. They are about seven or eight years old, and they can't be used as serious laborers. They are often assigned some small and necessary tasks.

"Xiao Nong," Xianghe saw Lin Chunnong after being reminded by her little friend, and smiled and waved to her, "Come here, you will be at your house to fetch water in late autumn. But Sanwazi said he wouldn't let him do it. "

Then a little boy with his bare upper body tanned and shiny said with a blushing face, "Wow, where is it? I mean, I'll beat him up."

When Lin Chunnong came over, he was pulled over by Lin Qiumo who came out of the team.

The one in front was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl. She filled a bucket full of clear water, but she couldn't bear to spill a drop, so she had to move out slowly.

The villages here are used to planting a big tree next to the well, so the surrounding of the well is like an air-conditioned room. When they fetch water, Lin Chunnong leans on the edge of the well and looks down, the cool breath rushes straight up, very pleasant. Comfortable.

Lin Qiumo put the keg down and reminded Lin Chunnong softly: "Nongnong, move aside."

Lin Chunnong glanced at him curiously, why are you so gentle?
Lin Qiumo: If it wasn't for fear of scaring you, your behavior would have reached the standard of being beaten.

As soon as Lin Chunnong stood up, Xiang He from behind reminded her: "Xiao Nong, don't get too close, you will drown if you fall."

Lin Chunnong: - -

There was a burst of warmth on the calf. It turned out that the canine tooth ran over from nowhere, and in its mouth was holding a small palm-sized turtle that was stretching its limbs.

"Your dog is ugly."

A small voice sounded.

Lin Chunnong glanced at the sound, knelt down and rubbed the dog's head of his dog's teeth, and hummed: "It's not ugly, our dog's teeth are like this, that's cool, personality."

The little boy with a round face blushed and murmured not knowing what to say.

Just at this moment, a voice came from further east, "Baozhu, why haven't you fetched water yet?"

A woman walked up from the gentle slope on the east side with an uneasy face. The land below was the village's land, and there were two large pits that were said to be used for flood discharge.

Because of the drought, there was no water at all in the pit. From where Lin Chunnong was standing, he could see the sweet potatoes planted row after row on the slope of the pit.

My mother was not stingy at all when she distributed the sweet potato seedlings. Now they grow a lot of these sweet potato seedlings in their village, even in the next-door village, and relatives in the village.

Thinking of a farming article I read before, the heroine took the space with her after traveling and used the sweet potatoes in the space to make money at high prices every year. Only now did Lin Chunnong realize how unreasonable this plot was.

Sweet potatoes have strong vitality and high yields. How can a crop with such a large yield maintain such a high price?
Moreover, these ancient people were not stupid at all. Perhaps because of their survival instincts, they knew the benefits of a high-yield crop better than any modern person.

As long as the traversers planted sweet potatoes outside, it would be impossible for them not to spread.

Just like now, I heard that even the villages north of Yuequan Town have traces of sweet potatoes.

The woman came over and directly took the wooden bucket from the round-faced little boy just now, and was about to snatch the small wooden bucket for fetching water from Lin Qiumo's hand, only then did Lin Chunnong realize that he had inadvertently thought of going elsewhere.

Immediately stepped forward, stepped on the woman's forearm, and asked, "What are you doing? Our water hasn't been pumped yet."

The small wooden barrels for fetching water are always tied to the well ropes and belong to the public goods of the villagers.

The woman didn't blush at all, and said, "I'm in a hurry to get water, you can use it later."

She felt that there was no need to be polite to the two children at all, so her face was impatient and her tone was not very good.

Lin Chunnong frowned and said, "My father and I went to the town this morning. Along the way, we saw that some villages almost ran out of drinking water. Why did you use it to water the fields?"

"You son, you take care of a lot?" The woman said and pulled Lin Chunnong away at once, and was about to fetch water, but she didn't expect the wild boy with the bucket to go aside in a blink of an eye.

"We are all lined up," Lin Qiumo said while supporting Lin Chunnong with one hand, looking at the woman coldly.

The woman was annoyed, she looked at Lin Qiumo with disgust, and said harshly, "Bring it here."

The children next to them were terrified, Xianghe whispered: "At the end of Qiu, let Aunt Lian fight first."

But the round-faced little boy was so anxious that tears flickered in his eyes, but he didn't dare to say a word.

The woman's demeanor can indeed frighten children, but it does not include Lin Chunnong. This kind of person is fierce in front of children. If adults come, I am afraid that she will be more amiable than anyone else.

"No, we haven't finished pumping the water yet," Lin Chunnong was very stubborn, "And don't pour the water now, or I will tell the village chief that you won't be allowed to fetch water."

"You little girl," Aunt Lian's already tanned face was so red that it was about to smoke, she took a step forward and grabbed Lin Chunnong's shoulder.

Lin Chunnong cried out in pain.

Lin Qiumo threw a bucket on the woman, and Canine Fang dropped the turtle in his mouth, barking at the woman.

This well is not far from the people in the village. After a while, someone heard the sound and walked out of the house, asking this way: "What are you doing? Zhanwazi?"

A little boy agreed, and Aunt Lian's face quickly showed grievances, tears gathered in her eyes, and the hand that was holding Lin Chunnong's shoulder had already been released.

"Aunt Ermin, look, now even a child is bullying me. Our family, Baozhu, is just like his father, and he doesn't even dare to go forward."

Lin Chunnong followed closely and said, "I didn't bully you."

Aunt Ermin is an old woman about 50 years old. All the able-bodied people in the family have gone to work in the fields. Seeing that the crops are dying of drought, it is better to take them back when they are young, so that they can satisfy their hunger in the future.

She was sewing clothes at home, when she heard the dog barking outside, she was worried that her grandson would come out immediately, just in time to see the kid from the Lin family throwing the bucket at the Hanshui family.

"Why do I watch your family throw buckets at your aunt?"

Lin Chunnong said: "She was the one who wanted to hit me first, and my Qiumo family wanted to protect me."

Aunt Lian was sobbing, "This village can't live anymore. A child looks down on me like this. I don't know why their adults look down on me."

Lin Chunnong:? ? ?Is there a mistake?

It turns out that you are a widow, but just because you are a widow, you should not be beaten down.

"She was the one who hit me first, and it hurt my shoulder."

Seeing this little girl chattering non-stop, Aunt Lian's lowered eyes flashed a tyrannical emotion, how easy is life for the Lin family if she eats so well and raises her fat?

I used to see the second child of the Lin family and ignore people, but now that he is in the village every day, I don't believe he can handle it?

Thinking of this, Aunt Lian calmed down a lot, and then said to Aunt Ermin: "Forget it, I don't know as much as a few children."

"If you steal people, your character has long been crooked. Don't pretend to be magnanimous."

Lin Qiumo's sudden words were like thunder on the ground, and Aunt Ermin, who was just about to persuade her, was stunned for a moment, and then she angrily said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

After being stunned for a moment, Aunt Lian cried and wanted to throw herself into the well. Aunt Ermin hurried forward to pull her away, "The kid just talks nonsense if he doesn't know anything, Hanshui's family, you can't do it."

Lin Chunnong watched the development of the matter, his eyes widened.

Xianghe leaned in front of her and whispered in her ear: "Go back quickly, my mother said that Aunt Lian is not easy, and won't let me contradict her on weekdays?"

"Why?" Lin Chunnong was so surprised that his voice was not too soft.

Xianghe stomped her feet, and before she could explain, Lin Qiumo had already said, "Because the children of any family laughed at her or her son, the men of that family will quarrel with their wives in a short time."

Lin Qiumo's voice was not deliberately lowered, and Aunt Ermin said to them while pulling Aunt Lian, "Children, what nonsense are you talking about, why don't you go home soon?"

Aunt Lian stopped jumping into the well this time, wiped her tear-stained face, and said, "Auntie, you should be a witness, I'd like to go to the Lin family to ask, why do the adults talk about me at home, let the children listen Why are you going to spoil me like this outside?"

"Who corrupted you?" Hearing that she was going to go home, Lin Chunnong knew what kind of shit would come out without her buttocks. Watering the ground, originally we were fetching water, and you grabbed it when you came up, so many people are watching, do you need to ruin you?"

"Auntie, look, how can I live with this eloquent tongue? How could a child embarrass me like this." Before he finished speaking, he turned around and jumped into the well.

Lin Chunnong said unceremoniously: "You have to commit suicide and go to other places. The current water source is precious and cannot be polluted."

Having never been blocked to such an extent with words, Aunt Lian was so angry that she resorted to the womanly tricks she usually despises the most, sat down on the ground, slapped her legs and burst into tears.

"I can't live anymore, I can't live anymore."

Aunt Ermin also thinks that the little girl from the Lin family is too talkative. No one in the village knows what kind of person the Hanshui family is. Give her some points.

This little girl of the Lin family should be disciplined by her family, otherwise she will suffer a lot when she grows up.

"Family of Hanshui, don't cry," Aunt Ermin said, "Auntie is in charge of this matter for you, and the Lin family couple must apologize to you."

Lin Chunnong: Why is this old lady so annoying.

The shiny black boy stepped forward and grabbed the old lady, yelled milk, and said, "It has nothing to do with the Lin family sister."

Aunt Ermin said to her little grandson, "Go and call the Lin family, this matter must be explained clearly."

Aunt Lian wiped the tears from her face, stood up and said, "Go to the village chief's house, I have to ask for an explanation today."

It's really a backlash and a sense of superiority, and she wants to say what she wants to say.

A quarter of an hour later, many villagers gathered in the small courtyard of the village chief Chen Jinming's house. Lin Chunnong stood between his parents and waited for Aunt Lian to finish singing, reciting, beating, and then said: " It was she who saw that we children were easy to bully, so she snatched our bucket first. And Qiumo beat her because she grabbed my shoulder. Later, when someone came, she turned around and slandered us."

"Second brother Lin, look at your girl, you were so eloquent talking about me at that time, and your family is still talking about me, talking about me at the end of autumn."

The woman almost cried into tears, and her grief-stricken and unspeakable appearance made most of the people present feel sympathetic.
