Hard work

Chapter 213
Lan Hua'er can't stay at home all day and do nothing.

Gradually, Xiaodie also got used to the life in Zhao's house, and she no longer shrinks back like when she first came here, and her health has improved a little bit, even if no one is with her, she dares to get off the kang slowly and look around up.Lan Hua'er saw that she didn't leave the house and didn't fumble around, so she started to go outside slowly.

Sometimes it is really busy, sometimes it is just to go outside for a while, so that Xiaodie can have some time alone.

Looking back, I didn't see Xiaodie doing any strange things during that time, nor did she run away.

But think about it, no matter where Xiaodie wants to go, she will not understand the language of outsiders, and has a pair of eyes of different colors. No matter where she goes, she will not be able to escape the fate of being treated as a slave. .At Zhao's house, at least she doesn't have to work for the time being, and she still has food.

The most important thing is that after the summer started, Lan Hua'er didn't have a lot of thoughts on Xiao Die.Even facing Zang Lang, she didn't have that much energy anymore.

Summer comes with continuous torrential rain.

It was really a torrential rain. It wouldn’t stop in the next half day or a day. Sometimes it would rain for several days in a row. It was the kind of heavy rain that crackled and smashed the roof, and it could hit the ground. The reason for this is that people will be beaten to pain if they walk outside in coir raincoats, not to mention the crops planted outside and the poultry raised outside.

When it first started to rain, the people in the village felt very happy. After all, the crops in this field need water to live well, but slowly, the people in the village also saw something wrong. .

This year's rain is really too much, so much that the small ditch used for watering at the edge of the field is overflowing, and the roots of the crops are soaked in the water every day. rainwater can only be harvested.Anyway, no matter how you look at it, the rain is crackling every day, and it doesn't mean to stop at all.

People in the village can only brave the heavy rain to go to the field every day, dig up the silt accumulated on the edge of the field in the rain, and let the water in the field drain to both sides, so as not to drown the crops in the field.

In this way, the Zhao family and Yan Dalang's family, who almost bought the mountain land, lived a little easier.

After all, they still have some fields on the mountain, which cannot be flooded no matter what.Although the mountainous land is not fertile enough to grow many crops, at least it can guarantee a harvest, at least not like other families, all their hopes are in the paddy field outside the village.If the rain is heavy and there are really floods this year, the people in the village will probably not be able to survive.

Lan Hua'er couldn't help but want to go outside the yard to take a look every day.

Although Zang Lang was very worried, Zang Lang himself didn't have time to stay by Lan Hua'er's side - he had to go to the field every day.After breakfast in the morning, I had to run to the mountainside under the dark sky to have a look at the field on the mountain.Basically, there is no need to take care of the field, because it is a small terrace on the hillside, one level at a time, and drainage ditches have been dug on both sides, which do not hide rainwater very much, just look at it as usual.

After confirming that there was no problem with the terraced fields on the mountainside, Zang Lang had to run back down the mountain to the paddy fields outside the village to dig drainage ditches for the paddy fields.

Lan Hua'er went to see it once, but it was only once, and she was kicked out of the house soon.This time, not only Zang Lang was chasing her away, but other men working in the fields in the village also wanted to drive her home, saying that it was a little girl, so don't go to the field.It's not safe at the edge of the field now, if you accidentally fall into the water, it will be bad if something happens.

Because of the heavy rain before, it is said that a girl was drowned in the village, that is, a few years ago.At that time, Lan Hua'er didn't go out very much, so I didn't have much memory, but the people in the village always remembered it, so whenever it came to the heavy rain season, as long as they saw a girl walking outside, the people in the village would persuade the girl to hurry up. go home.

Moreover, there is a saying in the village that it is most likely to be possessed on such a rainy day.Especially for little girls like Lan Huaer, who are young and have not yet consummated their homes. It is pure cloudy time, and on days like this when the rainstorm continues, it is said that several little girls will be bumped into—in modern times To put it simply, he was possessed by a ghost.

Lan Hua'er naturally didn't believe this, but the people in the village had good intentions, and it was indeed unsafe in this kind of rainy day.Not to mention ancient times, even in modern times, old people, children or girls are often washed away by heavy rain and drowned in heavy rain.She went home obediently.

Yang Langzhong once went to Zhao's house specially to warn Lan Huaer and Xiaodie not to go outside the house too often.

"It's raining heavily and the humidity is heavy now." Yang Langzhong shook the water drops on his hair, and told Lan Hua'er very seriously, "You are all girls at your age, and you are all in poor health. Alan, you too, originally During menstruation, there will be abdominal pain, and the inside of the body is very cold, now don’t think how good your body is, you should pay more attention to it.”

Lan Huaer agreed with a smile, and served Yang Langzhong a bowl of ginger soup.

It was very busy at this time, and it was impossible for her not to let Zang Lang go outside to work.If the work in the field is not done quickly, and the field is dug to loosen drainage ditches day by day, the crops will really be drowned.No matter how much she loves Zang Lang, she can only let Zang Lang go outside to work.

On the contrary, she boiled hot ginger soup at home every day, and kept it on the stove, with Xiaodie's porridge, so that Zang Lang could drink ginger soup when he came to his family, so that he could heal his body. drive away the cold.

Before the rain was so heavy, Lan Huaer secretly went to the back mountain to look at the bees she kept on the back mountain.

She and Zang Lang chose a good place out of thousands of choices. Although it has been raining heavily recently and it is also windy, the col is indeed a place where the wind cannot blow in. When she went to see it, there was not even a strong wind there. , the awning is still in good condition, and the beehives below don't look wet at all.

The bees in the beehive have multiplied a lot, and they are busy flying around the box. It is estimated that there is a lot of honey in the beehive.The orchids didn't bother the bees, and they planned to wait until autumn to see them again.Although it is raining continuously, the bees must still be alive and well.

It's just that the weather like this has smashed the flowers outside, and the raindrops are heavy. It is estimated that the bees can't fly outside the awning to collect honey.As long as the bees are alive, though, that's fine.

Lan Hua'er didn't dare to run up the back hill at this time.

The mountain road was not very easy to walk in the first place, and now it is raining heavily, and the mud is loose. If it is not good, there may be some accidents.For her own sake, at most she just went outside to feed pigs and chickens.Naturally, chickens can no longer be put in the yard, and they just go to see them every day.

Along with the torrential rain, there was also a strong wind. At the beginning, the rain was blown into the chicken coop by the wind. The chickens were drenched and shivered while hiding in the chicken coop.Lan Huaer hastily wove some curtains out of Ulagrass to surround the chicken coop, so as to keep the inside of the chicken coop dry.

The pigsty is actually built in a good place, surrounded by several houses, where the wind does not come and the rain does not come.The little piggy inside was half grown now, regardless of the sweltering and rainy weather outside, he still ate and drank every day, growing fast.

What is suffering is the plants growing in the small yard outside.

Orchid managed to plant a lot of vegetables in that small yard, but now it was all smashed by the rain, and many leaves were punched out, and the rain forced them to stick to the ground, lifeless look.Lan Hua'er went out in a coir raincoat and snatched some back, but more were smashed outside.

Even the well-grown melon vines were blown crooked by the strong wind.

Lan Hua'er often looks at the things in the yard outside and feels distressed, but there is nothing she can do.She can't cover the whole yard.There is no such thing as plastic film in this day and age.Even if there is, it is estimated that it will not be able to withstand such a large amount of rainfall.

She has worked hard to weave curtains with ula grass, but it still doesn't work.

The only ones that survived were the motherwort and wormwood that Zang Lang dug from the mountain.Probably because these two things originally grew on the mountain, and after being tossed by Zang wolves, they are the most tenacious of vitality. Although the rain is heavy at the moment, they still grow well.Although some leaves were inevitably beaten to pieces, the whole plant was still vigorously emitting green in the rain, showing a trace of life in the yard that was almost flooded into the ocean.

When Lan Hua'er goes out every day, she goes to Aru's house next door.

She still remembers to deliver soup to Aru every day, so she only goes out like this once a day.Even if she only went out once, she had to talk to Zang Lang for a long time before Zang Lang reluctantly agreed.It's still because of the proximity of the two families.

Aru also asked Lan Huaer to teach her how to make the soup, and let her make it at home to save Lan Huaer from running around in this weather.But now everyone in Aru's family has gone to work in the field, even Mrs. Lin. Lan Huaer doesn't want Aru to do this by herself, for fear that Aru will smell the smell of fish and can't help but vomit. After coming out, he persisted in the task of delivering soup.
