Chapter 217: After the Rain

Along the way, the villagers are busy with all kinds of work after the rain, coming and going, endlessly, and they just say hello to each other and rush by.

After thinking about it, Li Chen walked outside to see how his land and field were doing.

Passing by Liuxian Lake, the river has risen a lot, and it is no longer calm, the muddy yellow lake water is constantly lapping on the shore, and I don't know if the other four overlords in the lake are still there?

……

Walking on the field road, are a muddy yellow mud puddle, although it is already as far as possible to walk along the side, but still make the feet full of mud, especially slippers, if you don't pay attention, the heel will throw the mud and splash on the back, a little regret that you didn't go home and wear rain boots out.

Li Chen simply gave up dodging and walked directly in the middle, things were so strange, the roadside was muddy, but the middle of the road was washed clean, and the puddles were also very clean, maybe they all turned into muddy water or pushed the mud to the side.

When I came to the seedling field, I saw my parents fiddling in the field, and I couldn't help asking, "Mom, how are the seedlings?"

Generally, it is right to ask Li's mother about this kind of thing, even if she asks Li's father, she will be rushed to answer by Li's mother.

Mother Li glanced up at Li Chen: "It's okay, although the leaves are a little yellow, they are still tender, and they can still grow back with a little fertilizer." ”

Li Chen was relieved when he heard this, his mother had done farm work all her life and was very experienced, and if she said that it was okay, she would definitely be fine.

"I said, why are you so diligent? I haven't seen you many times before! Could it be a whim?" Father Li stopped tidying up the ditch, straightened up and spoke.

Regarding his father's uncomfortable posture of not harming his son one day, Li Chen said that he was used to it.

Shrugging: "You say yes, yes." ”

"If yes, then come down and help!"

Li Chen looked left and right, but didn't see any extra farm tools: "Uh... Don't bring the tools to help that?"

"With your hands, help raise the seedlings a little higher. Father Li said angrily: "When I was a child, I didn't have tools, but now I can't do it!"

Speaking of this, Li Chen remembered an unbearable experience.

When I was a child, every time I came back from school, I had to help with the farming, and I was still a seven or eight-year-old child!

"Dad, I still have to go and see the situation in the rose field, and it won't take long to get this, and I won't go to the field." ”

"I think I'm just lazy, what excuse do I have? Father Li debunked Li Chen's words very facelessly.

Li Chen didn't want to talk to his father, he couldn't talk well, so he said hello to them, turned around and walked towards the rose land.

It's all at the entrance of the village, so you don't have to go far.

After coming, he couldn't help but sigh with relief when he looked at the crooked but still firmly rooted rose seedlings, otherwise he would have to cry.

Of course, it's not that it hasn't been washed out by water, but it's just an individual.

Stepping on the wet land, his feet suddenly sank, and he lost the soles of his feet, and Li Chen hurriedly withdrew his feet.

When he first ploughed the ground, the pears were very deep, but now they have been drenched in water for so long, they are probably all wet and soft, and it is normal to sink in.

simply took off his sandals, went to the ground barefoot, and picked up a seedling that had been washed out of the beads, and picked up more than 20 plants!

Looking at all the soft leaves, I estimated that I would plant them back directly, and I would definitely not be able to live if I took care of them less, so I simply took them back.

I glanced at the rose seedlings that I hadn't seen anything to do, and walked back with more than 20 seedlings tied up with small green vines.

Passing by the fertile fields soaked in the water, I secretly thought that it was good that it was not time to plant the seedlings, otherwise they would all have to suffer, and the newly planted seedlings could not stand such a heavy rain.

When I walked to the head of the village, I met Li Yuming, the thirteenth uncle who was carrying a hoe, and saw that he was holding a sickle and a wooden skewer on his shoulder, and a bundle of rope was hung on the wooden skewer.

Li Chen asked a little curiously, "Uncle, are you going... Mowing the lawn?"

"yes, it's not sunny, the mountains are too wet, it's not good to herd cattle up the mountain, so I'm going to mow some grass. Li Yuming complained bitterly: "It has rained for a week, and the hay in the village has already been eaten, and the straw for the cowshed is eaten behind. ”

Li Yuming glanced Li Chen up and down and asked, "You just came back from the field?"

"Yes, it's raining so hard, I'm afraid that the things I planted will be washed away by the heavy rain, come and see. Li Chen nodded in agreement.

Li Yuming pointed to the rose seedlings in Li Chen's hand, and said suspiciously: "This is what you are holding... Why haven't I seen it?"

Li Chen couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, no wonder Uncle Thirteen thought so, it was really their habit of digging some specific roots and grass plants from the mountains or the edge of the field to make herbal tea, which was said to clear the lungs and start a fire. There are also some that can be used to get rid of allergies and rashes in children......

"No, this is a rose seedling I planted, which was washed out by the heavy rain. Li Chen explained.

"Oh, this is the kind of flower that is passed down in the village for a hundred yuan a flower, right?" Li Yuming suddenly realized, and casually persuaded him: "Let me tell you, there is no such good thing in the world, if you can sell it for such a high price, can it still be our turn?"

Li Chen was not easy to explain, so he simply said perfunctorily: "Well, I know, just try it, if it doesn't work, there won't be much loss." ”

"It's good if you can think of it, don't blame my uncle for talking too much, it's still practical to make money, don't believe what others say, if it's so easy to make money, isn't everyone rich?"

Li Chen had no choice but to say "yes", the older generation in the village just like to use their thinking to educate people, as long as it does not conform to their concepts, they can give you a three-day and three-night popular science.

Li Chen's 'appropriating' attitude made Li Yuming feel very pleased, and said with a satisfied smile: "Hehe, okay, it's not too early, I should also go to work, and I'll talk to you more another day." ”

"Uh-huh, goodbye Uncle Thirteen. Li Chen hurriedly nodded.

Looking at the back of Uncle Thirteen leaving, Li Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, people with old concepts are the most difficult to change.

Later, on the way back, I saw that the villager Li Chen didn't dare to talk more, for fear of being caught and talking to you, as for asking what he was carrying in his hand, he replied that it was weeds.

When I got home, I put the two dozen seedlings next to the yard, washed my hands and feet, and walked into the house.

Ye Jingting had already gotten up and was chatting with Xu Ru and Zhao Xinyi in the hall with smiling faces.

"What are you talking about so happy?" Li Chen walked inside.

Ye Jingting: "You're back." ”

"This is coming back from the ground, so diligent!" this is Xu Ru's.

And Zhao Xinyi smiled and nodded.

Li Chen didn't answer, but asked, "Did you have breakfast?" He was hungry.

"Eat," Ye Jingting nodded, and reminded: "The dish is hot in the pot in the kitchen." ”

That was exactly the answer he wanted, and when he heard that, he turned and left the hall and ran straight to the kitchen.
