Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 149 The rice is flooded
In the end, the matter was unexpectedly resolved smoothly.

Li Dejiang discussed with Mrs. Xu all night, and on the second day, he announced to everyone that he was going to build a house. After the house was built, he would let Gu Yu's family live on his side. At that time, Xiao He would stay with Gu Yu, and Jinxuan Jingzhe The few of them lived on the side of the second uncle, and others would never chew their tongues again. Anyway, the two brothers built a house together, and they said that they were in the same place, so it was easy to talk about.

Such a solution is very much in line with Li Dequan's wishes. Anyway, Li Dequan has never thought about building a house by himself. It's just that he needs to leave some money for the children when they grow up. Moreover, he also believes in one thing in his heart. Mr. Su is a good official, so he must be a good official. It's going to be fine, it's just temporarily dragged down, in the future, as long as the Jingzhe matter is resolved, my family will return to the city at any time, and the house built here will naturally not be used, and it will be left to the boss or others. The fourth brother is difficult to talk about, and it will not cost much money to simply build it with the second brother.

So, Li Dequan said: "Second brother, otherwise you will say that you built it. Now that you have built the house, it is reasonable for us to live in it. I am afraid that we will move out in the future if we are a partner." What happened to the eldest brother and the fourth child are thinking of dividing half of the house or something, it's not very good."

Jing Zhe also agrees with Li Dequan's statement, in order to avoid future troubles, he always has to plot more, and leave no excuses here.

That being the case, Li Dejiang didn't refuse, but everyone agreed to build a house after harvesting the early rice and planting the late rice. It's better not to move now, lest someone take the opportunity to say something.

Having said that, Gu Yu felt as if she was going to leave this yard. After living in this yard for several years, she was already very familiar with this yard. The fruit trees, the vegetable field, those swings, and the sliding chairs used by Xia Zhi and the others were a little bit reluctant to part with.

Seeing Gu Yu staring blankly at the yard, Xia Zhi came over to cheer Gu Yu with a smile, "Second Sister, do you want to eat peaches? I see some peaches are turning red."

Gu Yu picked up Xia Zhi, went to look at the peaches in that tree, and picked one for Xia Zhi.

Xiao Man stopped them, "You two greedy monkeys, don't pick them so fast. Didn't Uncle Jiang say that when the time comes, the peaches in the village will be divided and eaten first, and the ones on the tree will be eaten slowly. Anyway, stay."

Xia Zhi looked at the peach in his hand with regret, "Second sister, it's all because of your quick hands, or you can put it back."

Gu Yu slapped him, "It's not for you, it's better now, if you don't eat it, I'll eat it."

Xia Zhi pouted with displeasure, staring at the peach in Gu Yu's hand.

In the next few days, the weather became more and more sultry, and then it started to rain heavily.

A group of people naturally sat in the house, looking at the outside world through the rain curtain, and the yard was also muddy. Gu Yu thought it might be better to lay stone slabs at that time, but was afraid that it would be too slippery, and finally decided to stay in the yard. It would be better to pave a stone road.

Xia Zhi and Xiao Han and Da Han seemed to be very happy, they stretched out their hands to catch the rain from the eaves of the porch, and after playing, they rushed into the rain and ran back quickly, the three of them smirked against the rain.They were pulled back one by one by Xiaoman.

Li Dejiang followed Dequan and Chen Yongyu to go fishing in the river. The old Si Dehe was used to catching fish, so he naturally went with him. Everyone said that when it was raining, the fish in the river might run into the river. Everyone just waited at home to eat river fish.

Mrs. Chen also wore a coir raincoat and came to sit here for a while, but no one paid any attention to her. She felt bored, so she went to other places to visit.Mrs. Wang had never seen such a situation before, and she was a little worried when she heard that the river was rising.Jiang Shi and Xu Shi are used to seeing each other, "Worry about you, they all know how to use water. Dequan is amazing. He was the one who rescued Jiang Sheng's father from the water. Besides, he didn't go to the river, it was this Qianhe, nothing has happened for many years, so you can rest assured and wait for the fish."

Hearing that there were fish to eat, Xia Zhi swallowed hard and looked at the rain outside.

Gu Yu and Xiao He were busy connecting wooden basins and barrels to the rainwater that leaked from the roof.

Yu Youyou became smaller, Wang hurriedly made arrangements for cooking and so on, Xu Qin told her not to worry, "If you want me to say that Gu Yu is thoughtful, isn't there a row of small thatched huts in the backyard, stoves and so on? Everything is complete, the back door is open and there is no rain, just cooking or something, just wait, I guess I should come back, I'd better make some ginger soup, otherwise it will be ruined by the rain It's not good."

After speaking, Xu Qinshi opened the back door, and saw a small thatched-roofed eaves, like a corridor, with chopped firewood piled up on both sides, a little past that was a small thatched hut, which was a temporary stove.

The rain came and went, but it never stopped.

When it was finally dark, several people came back wet.

Chen Yongyu took off his coir raincoat and said, "It hasn't rained for several years, and the river is full of water. I see that if it rains for a while, the crops will be flooded."

Dequan pursed his lips and said, "Our field is by the river. There is nothing wrong with the field above, but the field below may be difficult."

Gu Yu hurriedly asked: "Father, is the sloping land of the fairy fruit flooded?"

Li Dequan shook his head, "It's estimated that it won't be flooded for the time being, and it will be difficult to guarantee it if it goes down."

No one is in a hurry to do this matter of God, so Gu Yu didn't ask any more questions, just praying secretly in her heart.

Hot and spicy fish soup, stewed fish meat, and freshly picked vegetables from the vegetable garden. There are not many vegetables, but they are full of portions. Xu Qinshi also specially steamed fish brains and the like separately for the three small ones to eat. Everyone was already sitting around preparing to eat, and Mrs. Wang alone was still busy in the temporary kitchen.

Xia Zhi's eyes were so bright that he got up and stopped a table of people who were about to move their chopsticks, "If you don't eat or eat, no one can eat! My mother hasn't come yet!"

Xu Qinshi slapped him on the buttocks, "Boy, your mother didn't love you for nothing!"

Just as she was talking, Mrs. Wang came over, holding a small bowl of porridge in her hand, and slowly distributed it to Xia Zhi Xiao Han and Da Han.

Jiang looked around, "Oh, you really made it, it's amazing, I don't have the patience. This is the hand that holds the embroidery needle to cook fish intestines and the like."

It turned out to be fish porridge. The big fish was laid on top of it. Inside was the fish bubbles and other things from the killing of the fish, which were sorted and chopped in it. What's even better is that the fish intestines were not thrown away, and the pieces were in it. No wonder Jiang said that Wang was very patient.

At this time, Mrs. Wang happened to take out the whole crucian carp inside and put it on a side plate, and used a spoon to divide the remaining porridge into the bowls of several people, calling Xia Zhi and the others to eat the fish porridge, "Okay, you three The small ones are not good enough to eat fish, if the fish bones get stuck, it will be bad, these few are whole fish stewed without bones, and there are no leftovers, so eat slowly."

Xiao Han was very obedient, and ate by himself, but Xia Zhi went straight to the table with Li Dequan and the others with the porridge, and ate by himself next to Jing Zhe without being greeted by anyone.

Wang was amused again, "You started thinking about sitting over there when you couldn't speak, and you just cry when you stay here."

Everyone remembered the days when Xia Zhi was still young, and talked about it again.

On the second day, the rain still fell, and it stopped occasionally, and a new round of rain started before the water disappeared. Xu Qinshi began to complain that the god in charge of the rain was a little lazy, and didn't know what to do when it rained a little. Go to the place, just dump all the basins containing the rain in Taozhuang, and go back to do business by yourself.

After all, the water by the river only rose but never fell. Many people were a little worried. If the early rice was flooded, what would happen to the family's food and clothing for a year, but there was no way.People braved the rain and the family went out to their own fields to keep scooping and pouring out with basins, but soon found it was futile, the surroundings were full of water, all the water scooped out was quickly poured in, and they all gave up. I can only pray that the rain will stop.

It rained intermittently for three days, and finally it cleared up.

Xiao Man and Gu Yu hurriedly put the wet things in the yard to dry, while the people in the village happily went to see their fields.

Chen Yongyu and Li Dejiang Dequan stayed in the yard to discuss.

Chen Yongyu said: "After soaking in the rain for so long, the harvest of rice is much less. What about those families with a lot of people?"

Li Dequan was also a little helpless, "Don't talk about others, I only have two fields in my own house, and I don't know if the rice planted after running like this is enough to eat, and we can't do much."

De Jiang thought about it: "It's nothing. Otherwise, let's lower the price of the thresher. We can't do anything. Anyway, let the big guys finish harvesting the unsightly rice sooner." , we have nothing else to do.”

Both Dequan and Chen Yongyu agreed that the threshing machine was the business of the folks. When the harvest was good, everyone was happy, but when the harvest was not good, everyone felt sorry for making such money.

They are discussing here, and Gu Yu is also thinking about it while drying clothes on the other side.The rice was flooded. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the fairy fruit field, but the business of the thresher was inevitably affected.Farmers rely on the sky for their food, and the thresher business depends on it to make money, so this year's early rice business is not good, and their own thresher business is also not good. The money to build a house is not enough, and the money in my family is less, but I have to spend money to buy some food, so I will lose money. I used to think that this business is not risky, but now I understand it. I still need to think a little more. Only way to make money.

A group of people were in the yard with their own thoughts, when they suddenly heard someone shouting outside, "The bridge has collapsed, the bridge has collapsed—"
