Chapter 310 310 Heavy Rain

Zhou Jia nodded, "Yes, we can't raise our children to be playboys. We will take them to the fields to help during the autumn harvest, so that they can also know the hardships of farming."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Li Yu couldn't help but smile as he thought about Yang Yang picking up rice ears in the fields with a small bamboo basket on his back and a straw hat.

Yangyang didn't know yet that his parents were going to put a tight curse on him because of the incident involving the Wang family.

A group of Shuisheng's children found themselves on the mountain before returning home when it was almost dark. Xiao Yezi and Yanzi went to the backyard to find Li Yu. Yanzi shyly saluted Li Yu and said, "Madam, we found two more yellow peach trees and a pear tree. , the pears on the pear tree are only half the size of a fist."

Li Yu looked at the two sweating children and said with a smile: "Look at you guys sweating profusely. Go back and take a bath to cool off and eat."

"Hey!" The two children responded crisply, turned around and ran for two steps, then came back and saluted Li Yu before running away.

Mr. Wen came back from outside with a bamboo basket of herbs and said to the two of them: "It's going to rain. The top of the mountain has been covered by dark clouds. Several people with rheumatism in the village and the village have also started to get sick."

"Really? Let me take a look too." Li Yu stood in the yard and looked at the back mountain. Seeing that the top of the mountain was indeed shrouded in dark clouds, he said to Guyu: "Go find Ruyi and get some raincoats and send them to the outer courtyard in case it rains." We have to dig out the water shortage in the rice fields and release water.”

After the Grain Rain started to fall, I went to look for Ruyi. After a while, the wind started blowing, and the sultry weather became cooler.

Mrs. Yun came over to report: "Madam, dinner is ready."

"Okay, you go and set it up and we'll come."

"It's Madam." After Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Liu put the food on the table, they saw Li Yu and others serving the table. Knowing that Li Yu and others didn't like being served, they left.

Li Yu saw that there were stir-fried cabbage, cold cowpeas, lotus root and pork ribs soup, shredded pork with green peppers, liver tips, boiled mung bean porridge, and some fried egg pancakes on the table.

Mr. Wen smiled and said to Li Yu: "Our life is very good. Those people in the village only eat brown rice. Are the people living a hard life?"

Zhou Jia nodded and said: "Those who can eat brown rice are the people who are living well. The people who have always suffered the most are the common people."

Li Yu thought to himself: The rice seeds he cultivated are already sold in Yunzhou City, so why do the people outside the city still have no food to eat?

"Sir, do you think the rice seeds planted by those people in those villages are the same as those in Zhuangzi?"

Mr. Wen shook his head and said, "Awei said their rice seeds are different from ours."

Li Yu sighed after hearing this, "I don't know if it's because they don't trust the new rice seeds, or because the rice seeds haven't been sold to them at all. I'll go to the village with you tomorrow."

Mr. Wen smiled and said, "You might as well go and take a look."

Zhou Jia looked at Yangyang, who was eating a spoonful of rice and a dish, eating all the food on the table. He remembered that other people's children were fed by wet nurses when they were over three years old, and felt that his son was already very sensible.

When Yangyang saw Zhou Jia looking at him, he obediently took a spoonful of rice from the bowl and put it to his mouth, "Daddy, Yangyang's rice is delicious."

"Thank you Yang'er." Zhou Jia had no choice but to open his mouth and eat. Mr. Wen smiled and said, "The rice in Yang'er's bowl is very fragrant, isn't it?"

Yang Yang put down the spoon and waved his little fist, "Yeah! Mom said Yang'er should eat more and fight bad guys when he grows up."

After dinner, Li Yu and Zhou Jia took Yangyang and walked around in the yard to eat. After walking for a while, suddenly a strong wind blew, a bright light flashed across the sky, and a dull thunder rumbled from the sky, "Crack!" A sound of thunder seemed to explode above his head. Yangyang was so frightened that he cried "Wow". Zhou Jia quickly picked up Yangyang. Li Yu gently patted Yangyang's vest, comforted him, and whispered to Zhou Jia. : "With such a strong wind, luckily the corn hasn't grown tall yet, otherwise a lot of it would have been blown off."

"Yes!" Zhou Jia looked worried at the dark clouds above his head. Mr. Wen looked at the sky, "I'm afraid it's going to rain hard and it won't stop for a while."

Before he finished speaking, big raindrops pattered on the tiles. Yangyang stretched out his hand to catch the rain. Li Yu said to Mr. Wen: "Sir, see how long this rain can last."

Mr. Wen shook his head, "As the saying goes, when there is rain, there will be light on the side, and when there is no rain, there will be light on top. You see, the sky above your head is covered with dark clouds. I'm afraid it won't stop tonight."

Li Yu remembered that he heard this sentence from his grandma in his previous life, but he didn't expect that it would also be said in this other world.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Awei, Lao Zoutou, Dashui and about ten other people put on the raincoats sent by Ruyi and rushed to the rice fields barefoot with hoes. The rain seemed like someone was pouring water directly from the sky. Yes, the water in the field is filling up quickly.

It was raining and windy so much that even the straw hats could not be worn securely, and the water flowed down the neck as soon as the head was lowered. Everyone did not care so much, and silently waved their hoes to dig out the drainage holes left on the field ridges.

Drainage outlets were dug out one by one, and a group of people working on hundreds of acres of land worked until dark before they were all completed.

Awei watched the stream on the mountain flow straight down. The water in the ditch rose at a speed visible to the naked eye. Fortunately, the field ridges on both sides of the ditch had been heightened and widened. Otherwise, at this rate, it would not take long to reach the rice fields. inside.

Everyone ran back to the yard barefoot and washed the mud off their feet with rainwater from the wooden barrel. Mrs. Yun and Aunt Xue each came to the yard carrying a can of brown sugar ginger tea.

Mrs. Yun smiled at them and said, "My wife ordered me to boil the brown sugar ginger cha for you. Let's drink some quickly to get rid of the cold."

Old Zoutou smiled politely and said, "I'd like to ask you two sisters to send it to you."

Mrs. Yun poured tea from a bowl and said with a hearty smile: "Thank you for your hard work. We should do some work. The hot water in the bathroom is also boiled. Let's drink ginger tea and then take a hot bath."

Yang Wei wiped the rainwater from his face, drank the ginger tea in one gulp, and said to Dashui: "Uncle Shui, the rain is so heavy that the stream is almost overflowing the field ridges. If it keeps raining so hard, I'm afraid it will pour in." Rice fields.”

Dashui wiped his mouth and said: "I'm afraid the rain won't stop for a while, but we have dredged the ditch. Don't worry, it won't flood the rice fields."

"Yes! Little steward, we have dredged the ditch a long time ago. We are not afraid of another two days of rain."

"Bah, bah, bah," Aunt Xue spat, "Ah Cai, you are such a crow, you don't want to think that the Ninghe River will rise in the next two days. It's okay for us, but the people on both sides of the river will suffer. "

Ah Cai blushed after hearing this and slapped himself twice in the mouth, "You deserve to be slapped. Who told you to talk nonsense?"

Ah Wei said with a smile: "Okay, let's go back and rest. When the rain stops, we have to look at the corn seedlings to make sure they don't get blown over by the wind."

Dashui patted Awei and said, "Yes, despite our young age, our stewards are much better at working in the fields than us old guys."

Ah Wei smiled proudly, "That's right, I was brought here by my wife. I can't embarrass our wife."
