Cute Wife's Farming Life

Chapter 178 Special Circumstances
Now is the rainy season, if it rains continuously, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"You crow mouth, you can't think of something good."

As soon as Chen Yuanlu finished speaking, Mrs. Meng gave him a blank look. This person really doesn't open any pot and lifts any pot.

Being so offended by the Meng family, Chen Yuanlu was a little embarrassed in front of Chen Anxia, ​​but he didn't say anything in the end.

If he said that, he would probably be scolded to death by Meng Shi.

So forget it.

He doesn't want to be scolded.

"Is anyone home?"

As soon as the Meng family finished speaking, Chen Yuanlu also closed his mouth, and a voice came from outside the yard.

The voice was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Just as Chen Yuanlu was about to get up and look, there was already a response from the main room, "Yes, they are all at home, so hurry up and come in."

It was Chen Linghong who responded to the outsiders.

Chen Linghong rarely responded to people, but this time it was rare.

But when Chen Yuanlu stood at the door and stretched out his head and saw someone coming, he understood.

"Second uncle."

The name of the visitor was Chen Zhengyuan, the second son of the village chief.

He is 50 years old this year. According to his seniority, Chen Yuanlu should be called his second uncle.

The second uncle came here in the rain wearing a bamboo hat, and when he heard Chen Yuanlu calling him, he glanced this way, smiled, waved his hands, and continued walking towards the main room as a response.

Before he reached the main room, Chen Linghong, who had already got off the kang and was waiting by the door, had already warmly greeted him.

Afterwards, the second uncle Chen Zhengyuan entered the door of the main room under Chen Linghong's warm hospitality, and then entered the inner room. After the people in the main room said something, the people outside the room could not hear clearly.

"What is Second Uncle coming to our house at this time?"

Seeing Chen Yuanlu turn back, Meng felt curious and asked a question.

When she asked, Chen Yuanlu didn't answer her in a hurry, sat down where he was sitting just now, looked out the window, and then said slowly: "In another 20 days or so, the wheat will gradually mature, probably because It's about patrolling."

Wheat is fully mature and harvested around the end of April.

But before the wheat is harvested, the wheat will start to turn yellow. At this time, their village, not only their village, but every village will be busy.

Because once the wheat starts to turn yellow, some people with dirty minds will come out to steal the wheat.

Stealing wheat, certainly no one would be so stupid as to steal it during the day, after all, once this matter was found out, no one would care if they were beaten to death.

Therefore, the loss of wheat generally occurs at night. In order to prevent the wheat from being stolen, basically all the adult men in the village will be assigned to patrol in small teams.

The patrol will not end until all the wheat has been harvested and then enters the warehouses of every household.

Almost a month.

There are so many people in the village, and the patrolling time is so long. In order to reflect fairness and justice, the village chief re-arranges the patrol teams and task arrangements every year.

"But every year in the village, the head of the village summons the heads of every household to his house for a meeting to discuss. Why this year..."

"Isn't the situation this year special? The old village chief is about to retire, and my father is going to run for the village head, so the old village chief wants to use this matter to investigate my grandfather as a candidate for village head. I guess besides inspecting my grandfather, there will be other candidates. Candidate for village chief."

Over there, Mrs. Meng was wondering, but before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Chen Anxia who sat aside and kept silent.
