Chapter 179: Great Drought
After returning to Panlong Village, Li Shenzhou's family had a mediocre relationship with the people in the village except for their dealings with Bai Yiming's family. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Since Mao Lianhua was beaten by Li Shenzhou again and stopped, even after Li Shenzhou left, she didn't dare to go to Jiang Biqing's trouble.
Li Shenzhou immersed himself in cultivation every day, constantly refining his sword moves and sword intent, and his cultivation and sword intent increased day by day; in his spare time, he went up the mountain to look for herbs, and occasionally treated people in nearby villages, and lived a full and leisurely life.
The old man Li commanded Xu Changsheng and Tian Jun to build up the courtyard wall around the house; once the courtyard wall is enclosed, the situation in the house cannot be seen from the outside, and the whole courtyard is particularly spacious, and it can also be used as his own vegetable field.
Xu Changsheng and Tian Jun also filled the yard with vegetables, and in just two months, the yard was verdant and verdant.
Seeing that the New Year is still half a month away, Li Wenyi and Li Wenxuan arrived as scheduled.
Along the way, Li Wenxuan and Li Wenyi were full of curiosity and couldn't help but look at the current situation of Panlong Village; the people in the village went back and forth in the fields to carry water and water the land, and everyone was somewhat impetuous, which made people panic when they looked at it.
Li Shenzhou, who was waiting at the entrance of the village, saw Li Wenxuan and Li Wenyi sitting on the ox cart at a glance, as well as Xu Changsheng sitting next to him.
"Big brother, second brother. Li Shenzhou waved his hand again and again.
"It's a little sister. Li Wenxuan looked up, immediately raised a smile, jumped off the ox cart, and strode up to pick her up, "Little sister, why are you here to pick us up?
"Grandpa is waiting for you at home, Brother Tian has to take care of grandpa. Li Shenzhou hugged Li Wenxuan's neck, and the baby's fat little face was full of joyful smiles.
Li Wenxuan nodded, "Oh, that's the case!"
Li Wenyi stretched out his hand, "Little sister, come to the eldest brother." ”
Li Shenzhou turned his head to look at him, only to see the corners of Li Wenyi's lips hooked slightly, smiling lightly, with a restrained temperament, and stretched out his hand, "Big brother, you and your second brother are still going well on the train, right?
"No, just ask someone and you'll know where you're going, your second brother and I haven't died stupidly. Li Wenyi teased, "It's you, I haven't seen you for two months, it seems that you have grown a little taller, fatter, and heavier......"
Li Shenzhou's face was hot, and he laughed instantly, "Big brother hasn't heard of it, children are all the same every day! I always have to grow up! I can't always be a little bean ding." ”
Diced beans?
Li Wenyi understood after a little thought, "You are also a little bean now." ”
"Big brother, to be honest, he is not a good person. ”
"Then Zhouzhou wants the eldest brother to tell a lie?"
Li Shenzhou pouted, "Isn't the big brother talking about the lie and the truth?" ”
Li Wenyi smiled.
Xu Changsheng stepped forward, "Miss Shen Zhou, let's go home and talk again! Uncle Datian still has to drive the ox cart back to the production team." ”
Li Shenzhou glanced at the uncle who was driving the car and nodded, "Uncle Datian, it's hard work, let's hurry home." ”
The Tian family is at the head of the village, there are two sons, after the death of the parents, the two brothers separated;
Datian's name is Tian Dazhi, and Oda's name is Tian Xiaozhi, and he is the accountant in the production team.
"Okay, the sunken boat girl gets in the car. Tian Dazhi smiled innocently.
Li Shenzhou knew that this person was stupid, he couldn't say the kind words he should say, he couldn't say anything good and obedient, and he didn't have a bad heart; he heard from the people in the village who came to see him in the past that he was also a good man, and he would help anyone in the village who asked him for help.
Li Wenyi carried her into the car, sat cross-legged on the cart, and put her on his lap.
Tian Dazhi looked back repeatedly, "Shenzhou girl, this is your grandfather's grandson?"
"Well, my eldest uncle's family, the eldest brother is called Li Wenyi, and the second brother is called Li Wenxuan; Li Shenzhou smiled and nodded, "Uncle Datian, why did you go to the county seat today? Is there something for the production team to sell?"
Tian Dazhi drove the ox cart and smiled innocently, "It's that the production team has a batch of eggs to sell, and now the drought in the land is serious; ”
"Just in case. ”
"Yes, that's the word. Tian Dazhi knows everything, everything he knows, as long as Li Shenzhou asks, he will ask.
On the way, I asked a lot of gossip that the fields of the villagers had begun to dry up, and the degree of cracking was very serious; even in winter, there was no rain, and the villagers carried water to water the sweet potato fields.
Seeing that the fields were drying up more and more, Bai Yiming was anxious, and he hoped that sweet potatoes would be abundant, so he naturally had to mobilize the masses to work.
"The sweet potatoes in the field should be harvested now, right?" asked Li Shenzhou.
Tian Dazhi nodded, "It's almost over, Captain Bai has chosen a harvest day, and it will be the day after tomorrow, and the fields are cracked, and if it goes on like this, the sweet potatoes will have to be burst in the sun." The drought in the winter is like this, fortunately, Captain Bai is shrewd and allows him to plant sweet potatoes, otherwise, we won't know what to eat for half a year next year. ”
Li Shenzhou pursed his lips, it was difficult to answer this, and he glanced at Xu Changsheng.
Xu Changsheng smiled and said: "It will all pass, it is already good to have sweet potatoes in the village to satisfy hunger; People in several villages near us, when the sweet potatoes are confiscated, at least there are sweet potato vines to eat. ”
As soon as Tian Dazhi heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes! There are still some greens in the vegetable field at home, and when the sweet potatoes are recovered, they will collect all these things and make them into pickles, and they will also be eaten in winter." ”
"By the way, there is a drought in most places in Province C this year, will this year's second public grain still be harvested?" Xu Changsheng suddenly asked.
"I don't know, I hope I don't accept it! If we collect the public grain for the second time, not to mention our village, people from several nearby villages will not agree. Tian Dazhi said uncertainly.
Xu Changsheng didn't think so, now he owes famine, and he harvests more grain every year; although there is a flood and drought this year, he does harvest in the first half of the year.
If the local ZF wants to make political achievements, it is necessary for the people below to pay grain.
The ox cart stopped outside the gate of Li's house, Li Wenyi put Li Shenzhou on the ground, and he helped Xu Changsheng move the things down together; after sending Tian Dazhi away, Li Wenyi and Li Wenxuan helped Xu Changsheng move all the things into the yard.
This time they bought a bit more food, a full ten bags of hemp cloth, and five bags of flour, which were enough for them to eat for months.
Coupled with the game that Li Shenzhou brought back from the mountains, maybe these grains can be eaten for a longer time.
"Wen Yi and Wen Xuan have arrived, are you going well on the road?" Old Man Li heard the movement, walked out of the room, and asked repeatedly.
"Grandpa, we're all going well, I'll talk to you later!" Li Wenxuan replied with a smile, and kept moving food with Li Wenyi.
Tian Jun, who came out with Old Man Li, consciously helped and helped to move all the grain into the stove room and tidy it up.
