Oops, Fubao was snatched away by the smelly brother next door again

Chapter 23 Well Water Level Drop
He made everyone laugh like this.

Jiang Yu'an also found it very funny, completely forgetting what it was like when he was able to eat after being greedy for so long.

After Yin Zhao's birthday, the weather gradually became hotter. Until the end of May, it was too hot to go out at noon.

Yang Erni cooks mung bean soup every day for everyone to relieve the heat. Everyone only goes to the field when it is cool in the morning, and no one wants to go out during the rest of the time. Water in the morning.

Whenever it was noon, Jiang Yu'an missed the iced watermelon from his previous life very much.

She was still young, so there was no need to be too shy about anything, so Mrs. Jiang found some rags and made her a sleeveless dress, and the trousers were rolled up to her knees.

Jiang Yu'an was greedy for the cold, and pestered Mrs. Jiang to throw a mat on the ground for her. Every afternoon, she had to lie down on the mat and take a nap in the morning to barely relieve the heat.

"The hottest time in previous years was June. I don't know what's wrong this year. It's only this hot in May." Mrs. Jiang looked at the steaming heat wave outside and felt a bad premonition in her heart.

The old man Jiang also felt that it was very abnormal, and he walked around the room, constantly comforting himself in his heart, "Our side has always had good weather, it should just be that the weather is hotter these days."

What he said just comforted himself, and everyone else was worried, especially Jiang Yu'an, who opened his eyes every day to ask if it rained today.

Mrs. Jiang laughed that she worried so much at a young age, but she cared a lot about what Jiang Yu'an said. Every day when it didn't rain, she would worry a little more.

Only the grandparents and grandchildren were the most leisurely ones in the family. The house was so hot that Mrs. Jiang went to take out the mung bean soup hanging in the well, and poured a small half bowl for Jiang Yuan. Looking at herself, Mrs. Jiang did not soften her heart at all, "You are still young, you can't be greedy for cold, or you will have a stomachache."

Jiang Yu'an watched pitifully as Mrs. Jiang hoisted the amphora containing mung bean soup into the well again, and she could only drink a little warm water.

Mrs. Jiang just tied up the jar with two ears, looked at the well water, and said "ah", "Old man, come and see. Is the water in the well low?"

The well in Lao Jiang's courtyard has been used for more than ten years, and nothing like this has ever happened.

Jiang old man hurried to see.He still didn't forget to hold down Jiang Yu'an who also wanted to go, "Children, don't go to the well, you just play here."

The well in their house has never allowed children to play next to it, and a tall fence has been built around it.

Jiang Yu'an was so big that he could only look at him through the fence.

Both the old couple felt that the water level in the well was a little low, and they both looked at each other with the same worry in their eyes.

at this time.Someone knocked on the door, and when Mrs. Jiang opened it, she saw Li Guihua walking in with a smile on her face, "Auntie, I'm here to pay back the money." After saying that, she handed over the things wrapped in cloth to Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang felt her hands sinking, and quickly opened it to look, but she saw that what was wrapped inside was not the copper plate she had imagined, but white silver coins. ,

"Osmanthus fragrans, where did you get the money?" Mrs. Jiang asked in surprise.

"Auntie." Li Guihua said with a mysterious expression, "Dalin was worried about the money he owed, and went to work in the county after his legs and feet became better. Most of the surplus has been sold. Anyway, it will be time to harvest rice in more than a month.

Auntie, this is a rare good time.Do you want to sell some of the grain at home? "

"Hey, silly boy." Pushing back the money that Li Guihua had just given her, "Silly boy, hurry up and go buy grain now before the food price is much higher than when you sold it!"

Li Guihua was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Mrs. Jiang would say such a thing, and said with a smile, "Auntie, I have saved enough food for more than a month."

"Osmanthus fragrans, think about it, why does the price of food in the county increase? When did the price of food increase in previous years?" Mrs. Jiang pulled Li Guihua into the house, "We have to sell the surplus food every year, you When did you see those grain merchants collecting grain at high prices for no reason, how often do you want to suppress the price to the end?"

Li Guihua thought that the last time grain prices went up was in a year when the harvest was not good. After Mrs. Jiang's guidance, she immediately thought of the unusually hot weather this year, and thought that it had not rained for more than a month. Her face turned pale and her voice trembled. , "Auntie, are you saying that there may be a severe drought this year?"

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help sighing, "I just saw that the well water at home seems to have become shallower."

"Auntie, I, I'm going to redeem the sold grain now, and I'm going now." Li Guihua obviously thought of the severe drought when she was a child. Although more than [-] years have passed, she feels that way now. Looking back, I still have lingering fears.

Mrs. Jiang looked at her back, thinking about how to make the whole family survive the possible severe drought safely.

Jiang Yu'an also looked at Li Guihua's back thoughtfully. After a while, she pulled the old lady La Jiang's clothes, "Grandma, let's go to the patriarch's grandfather, maybe there are other people who also sold grain."

"Yes, yes, I have to go to the patriarch." Mrs. Jiang stood up and was about to go out, but was held back by Jiang Yu'an again.

She looked back, and saw the little man smiling and saying, "Grandma, I'll do a trick for you."

Immediately afterwards.With a wave of Jiang Yu'an's little meaty hand, a lot of water was created out of thin air in the yard, and a large area of ​​the yard was wet all at once.

Mrs. Jiang's heart, which was still tense just now, relaxed a lot.

"Grandmother, if, if it's really bad in the future, you can let the people in the clan come to fetch water at home, but you can't let them fetch too much, and let them fetch water at night, lest our house be arrested and stared at again. superior."

"Okay, good boy." Mrs. Jiang nodded straight, "Grandma knows, and she will definitely not let others find out."

The grandfather and grandson talked while walking, and when they arrived at Patriarch Jiang's house, they detailed what they discovered today, as well as the increase in food prices in the county.

The reason why Patriarch Jiang became patriarch was that he was not an idiot who didn't know anything.As soon as he heard that the well in Lao Jiang's house had become shallower, he immediately asked people to look at other wells in the village.

After getting the exact news, Patriarch Jiang's expression was solemn with naked eyes.

He asked his son and grandson to notify each family to come, and then looked at Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Yu'an, "Sister and sister, this time, your family is a great contributor to our Jiang family!"
