The rural life of a peasant girl

Chapter 125 Rainstorm
Some people think it is fun, "Pan the lotus and play with its pearls, and the waves will not make a circle."

There are also people who feel that it is straightforward, "Only the green lotus and the red stalks can be opened and closed, and Ren Tianzhen."

What's more, when I saw this fragrant lotus, I felt that its surrounding environment was unclean and uneven: "There is green mud below, and the fragrance is full, and there is red dust on the top, and the color is not fresh."

Of course, these are among the better written ones. The rewards Mr. Feng said are actually not particularly expensive, but it’s just that no one has a set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones.After all, his monthly salary is only so much. Apart from supporting his family, he doesn't have much to spend. A set of pens, inks, papers and inkstones for each person is a big expense.

After the Lotus Poetry Appreciation and Poetry Recital, seeing Mrs. Feng also came, Mother Su naturally had to arrange a few tables, but now she has Aunt Liu to help, otherwise she would be busy with her pregnancy!

This time, people from the village came to watch the Lotus Appreciation Banquet. Since most of the villagers have never read books, they just want to see the demeanor of scholars. Those who plan to send their children to study also take this opportunity to encourage themselves The children in my family must work hard, and they will be as good as XX in the future.

Su Qin felt that this was an opportunity. Even Mr. Zhen came, and it would be difficult for him not to go, so he changed into new clothes very happily, thinking of flattering Mrs. Feng.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Feng is also a good person, knowing that Father Su's family is not very close to the old house, and he has no heart to associate with people like Su Qin, so he turns a blind eye to Su Qin's various courtesies.

Su Qin was so angry that it was a stomachache, but he didn't dare to vent this anger to Mrs. Feng, he could only occasionally taunt Su's father, but when he saw no one was paying attention to him, he felt bored.

During the banquet, Mr. Feng greatly praised Su's father for promoting sweet potatoes. He also praised the village chief, saying that he is a good village chief and should lead the villagers to become rich in this way. He also said that if there are any problems, you can Find him at the Yamen, and he will do his best to help.

To say that Mr. Feng is indeed a good official, since he was assigned to such a place after being elected, he has no complaints, works diligently, and loves the common people, but it is also because of him. He has a stubborn temper, and he doesn't know how to flatter his boss. That's why he's in his [-]s, and his official position is still in place. That's why he wants a big achievement, which can make him a higher level of achievement. Now the sweet potato that Su Ling promotes He was just given this opportunity, which is why he paid so much attention to Huaxi Village.

If it is said that he is all for the people, that is not the case, after all, people do not destroy heaven and earth for themselves!But from Su Ling's point of view, this is already considered good, but he did not take bribes like other officials.

Naturally, the banquet was a feast for the guests and the host. After the banquet, Mrs. Feng led the people away, and Mrs. Chen also got up to leave. She praised Su Dong again, praised him not only for his quick mind, but also for his outstanding literary talents, and praised him again and again Dao Su's father gave birth to a good son, so Su Dong is still at a loss!I don't know when I became so familiar with Master Chen, but of course he wouldn't ask this question in person, he could only ask Su Ling later.

Su Ling would never have imagined that because of such a lotus poetry appreciation party, their lotus pond would become famous far and wide, and there would be an endless stream of tourists who came to watch it, which would also promote the sale of lotus roots. It is not mature, and there are already many people who come to order.

Since then, Huaxi Village will hold the annual Lotus Appreciation Poetry Festival, and Huaxi Village is also famous for this.The lotus root produced by the Su family in Huaxi Village is even more famous, and even the products that the Su family will sell in the future have a special reputation, especially in the next few years, after the Su Ling family received rewards, let's not mention it for now.

In summer, heavy rain is common.

A heavy rain lasted for two days, and the small river in front of Huaxi Village flooded.

Flooding is not the kind of big flood that would cause disaster. The children of farmers even regard it as a fun thing to do. As long as the rain is not so heavy, the children will often run out of the house and run to the small river. , cheered and watched the situation of sending out water.Even some adults like to join in the fun.

Of course, there are also some crop handles that look at hair water in a very serious and serious mind.

It is said that Huaxi Village is a treasure land. In people's memory, apart from the famine caused by the severe drought, there have been no other disasters.And that drought swept across the whole country. Comparatively speaking, the disaster here in Huaxi Village is relatively mild.It is true that not many people died because of that drought.

And those who died, almost none of them starved to death directly, but most of them died of starvation, eating something they shouldn't eat, or because of starvation, their resistance decreased, and other diseases were caused.

Here in Huaxi Village, there has never been a flood.This is also the reason why Su Ling built his new house on such a high stone corner, the reason why Father Su would be scolded by Grandpa Su.

He thinks that Su Ling is thinking too much. He has stayed in Huaxi Village all his life and never had a flood. Isn't it a waste of money to build it like this now?

Even so, those old crop handles are worried.They will affect the harvest of crops due to too much rain, or cause the farmland near the river to be washed away and the crops flooded because of too much water.

And the children don't think so long-term, they just love to watch the rolling waves of Fashui, and imagine that when the rain stops and the river stabilizes, they can go swimming in deep water.

As for Su Ling's house, even when it was raining heavily, Su's father ran to the river several times, and even got up in the middle of the night to have a look at the river.He was worried about his fish ponds and lotus ponds. He was afraid that the river would grow too big and rush into the fish ponds and lotus ponds.The lotus pond is still a little bit better, but the river water is afraid that the fish that have grown up in the fish pond will be washed away.

Fortunately, there is a certain distance between the fish pond, the lotus pond and the river, and the embankment they built is strong enough and high enough. Although the river water has risen to a high level, it has not yet exceeded the embankment.

After a long time, when the rain had subsided a little, Su Ling also ran out, along with Su He, Ya Ya, and Old Man Liu's little grandson Liu Fu.

Several children, each wearing a coir raincoat.It's not that they don't want to open an umbrella, but that they are afraid that the rain will pick up and the wind will blow again, and the oil-paper umbrella will not be able to bear it at all.Although coir raincoats are cumbersome, ugly, and uncomfortable to wear, they are practical.

After leaving the door, Soho started to jump up and down.

Laughing all the way to the river, standing on the embankment, Su Ling couldn't help exclaiming.

The small river that I am used to has changed. The originally clear and gentle river water has now become turbid and billowy.The size of the small river has also increased, and the water surface is only about half a foot away from the top of the built embankment. Occasionally, when a big wave rushes over, some river water splashes onto the embankment.
