It is rainy in the south, and from the end of June to the middle of July, the rainy season for more than 20 days has plunged the whole village into a silent world, the sun is covered by thick clouds, the sky is gloomy and terrible, and the rain is boundless when you look up.

Even if the people of Yangjia Village are idle, they will not take advantage of the rainy day to go out, and every household closes its door, either discussing which flood is happening today, or discussing who and whose family in the village is quarreling again. Carrying the sky that did not have the desire to clear at all, Chunqiu sat at the door and sighed, Yuan was complaining about the fact that the quilt was too wet to be covered, Leng Buding raised his head and glanced at the empty room, Yuan was a little uncomfortable, and shouted at the door in a panic, "Qiu'er, Qiu'er"

"Eh, mother, what's the matter" Chunqiu didn't look back. In the past few days, as long as her mother can't see her, she will call her like this basically every day, for fear that she will run out if she is not careful. Chunqiu was helpless when she found out, she wasn't really a child, who wouldn't want to go out in this ghost weather? There are really people, just like the tiger ran away early in the morning, and the rain couldn't stop his enthusiasm at all.

As soon as Yuan heard that her daughter was still there, she immediately put her mind at ease, "It's nothing, you stay" As soon as the words fell, she thought of something again, and then said, "By the way, Qiu'er, you go to the back room first and bring the brazier over and stay, our quilt is too damp, so it will be roasted with fire, otherwise it won't be covered at night." Yuan's voice came from the house, and his tone was a little annoyed, this quilt had been placed in the cabinet before, which Cheng wanted to take it out today to change the cover, but it was so damp that it could wring out the water, people covered with such a quilt would have eczema, and the previous quilt had already been dismantled by Yuan's, Yuan's couldn't, so he had to use the brazier at home to bake and bake it for two days, thinking of this, Yuan's looked up and looked outside, hoping that the rain would pass as soon as possible.

"Mother, is it the iron basin that my father brought back before?" Chunqiu was standing in the back room at this time, looking at the braziers of different sizes on the ground, and he was a little unsure of what his mother meant. There are so many iron basins here, which one the hell is it!

“… Yes, it's the one with the pattern, you just move in, and my mother will go to the warehouse to get some dry firewood and come back" Yuan was putting on shoes in the house, and when he heard his daughter's words, he quickly thought about which iron basin it was.

"Eh, do you still need to take the shelf on the side?" Chunqiu asked as he looked at the matching shelf on the side.

"Take it, bring it all together" After Yuan finished speaking, he picked up the oilcloth umbrella placed at the door and ran out of the door directly.

By the time Yuan came back with half of his body wet, Chunqiu had already set up the brazier.

"Oh, Niuniu is awesome, go and rest, just take care of the rest of the mother" Yuan didn't care about her half-wet clothes, and hurriedly put the firewood on the ground, picked up the wooden stick with the thickness of his arm and broke it and added it to the basin.

Chunqiu looked at her mother's hair that was full of rain, turned around and took the hand towel on the side and put it on her mother's head, "Mother, the hair is all water, wipe it"

"It's okay, Qiu'er, go to the cabinet and bring the navy blue blouse to my mother," Yuan said that it was okay, but he still reached out and grabbed the hand towel on the top of his head.

"It's this, here you go, mother" Chunqiu took the clothes and handed them to Yuan, watching Yuan take off his shirt and change into refreshing clothes.

"Okay, I'm fine, you go to the door and stay, see if your father has come back? You tell me that the weather is not good to stay at home, you have to go to the field to see what rice seedlings, he is really idle" Yuan Shi said that her father was a little unable to stop the car, his expression was worried, and his mouth was full of complaints.

Chunqiu smiled secretly on the side, and then echoed casually, don't look at her mother always dislikes her father, it's actually very rare.

"You little girl, what are you doing, hurry up and get out" After Yuan finished speaking, he saw Chunqiu squatting on the ground covering his mouth and stealing fun, which made Yuan panic, his face was crimson, and he didn't bother to cover his face, so he directly reached out and blasted Chunqiu out, turned his head and closed the door again.

Chunqiu stood at the door and didn't care, her mother was annoyed and angry.

Spring and Autumn swayed to her throne again, sat down, and then pondered the train of thought that was interrupted by her mother before, in fact, their family is still quite lucky, thanks to the help of his uncle before, they can send wolfberries to the Materia Medica Hall early before the rainy season comes, according to the calculation of 80 Wen per catty, they sold more than eight taels of silver in the Spring and Autumn Period, which is also a relatively large income in the Spring and Autumn Period, and her mother's tea is also selling well. That's twice as much as her.

Just when Chunqiu was sitting on the bench and kept crooked, the door of the Yang family was pushed suddenly, Chunqiu stood up and looked at the person in the rain who was walking back in the rain, wasn't this her father? Chunqiu shouted "Dad" at the door at the moment

Yang Weibai heard Chunqiu's shout, turned around and waved his hand.

Chunqiu looked at the posture, hurriedly ran into the house and took out the clean clothes prepared by the Yuan family before and waited at the door, her mother had already known that Yang Weibai was back, so Chunqiu's series of actions did not stop.

"Dad, give you clothes, hurry up and change them, my mother is baking quilts in the house, our quilts are all damp" Chunqiu stretched out his hand and handed the clothes in his arms to Yang Weibai, and then reached out to take Yang Weibai's rain and put it on the shelf next to the door.

"Qiu'er, why didn't you go out to play?" Yang Weibai was a little curious, when he came back, he happened to see the children at home playing at the entrance of the village.

"Mother won't let me, saying that it's too cold outside, I'm afraid I'm catching a cold" As soon as Chunqiu finished speaking, Yuan said in the back room, "What are you playing?" Just stay at the door, I just caught a cold before, and I still want to drink medicine, don't listen to your father, Yang Weibai, you come in for me" After Yuan finished speaking, he called Yang Weibai on the side in.

Chunqiu looked at her father's slightly apologetic eyes, and spread her hands to show that she didn't care, anyway, her mother was the biggest talker.

"What are you talking nonsense about? My daughter just caught a cold before, why are you going out to play? Why do you have a fever again?" Yuan shook at Yang Weibai, who had just entered the door, and complained.

"Hey, I'm not worried that my daughter is boring at home" Yang Weibai touched the tip of his nose a little sneeringly.

"You can get it, it's good for my daughter, let me tell you, Yang Weibai, don't run my daughter out on the side" Yuan looked at Yang Weibai with warning-like eyes.

"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it, can't I say it?" Yang Weibai nodded helplessly.

Yuan was satisfied. Before, Chunqiu went out to play because of the rainy day, and he had a fever directly on the night he came back, which scared Yuan's eyes all night, and after that, Yuan never let Chunqiu go out again.

"By the way, what do you think of that place? What's the matter?" Yuan thought of Yang Weibai's purpose of going out today, and was a little worried, it had been raining for more than ten days, and he didn't know if there was anything wrong with her family's rice.

"It's okay, I also watched it today, and I can harvest it when the weather clears, don't believe it, today's harvest is much better than in previous years" Yang Weibai's tone was obviously brisk when he said rice, and his brilliant appearance made Yuan also laugh.

"Really, that's really good, my mother must be happy to know" After Yuan finished speaking, Yang Weibai nodded vigorously, obviously agreeing with Yuan's words.

"Okay, don't talk about this, Brother Ming'er will come back in two days, our house is almost cleaned up, and you can help you fight some of the remaining household equipment..."

"Eh, I've been prepared for a long time, I'm thinking about doing it when the weather is clear..."Yang Weibai looked honest.

On July 13, the rain did not fall again after many days, and the sky finally cleared.

Yangjia Village did not celebrate because of the rare sunny day, because every household had to take advantage of the sunny weather to harvest rice.

According to the habits of early rice, now is the time when early rice is ripe.

The old Yang family was no exception, and the old man Yang got up early in the morning to set up the ox cart and take a shovel, sickle, straw rope and so on to harvest rice.

Patches of golden rice were bent over by the heavy ears of rice, and the breeze blew, setting off layers of halos.

The Yang family didn't come early, when they arrived in the spring and autumn before, the people next to the Yang family's rice fields had already started working in the fields.

Yang Li was not idle, and hurriedly beckoned everyone from the Yang family on the side, and distributed the sickles one by one, one for each person, and hurried to work.

By the time the sun came out, the fields had already changed their appearance, and watching the rows of rice fields fall to the side under the swing of the sickle, and then be tied together by straw ropes and thrown to the shore, everyone's face is filled with happy smiles, and the countryside is full of harvest joy.

The adults are busy harvesting and harvesting rice in the paddy fields with sickles, and the rest of the children are naturally not idle, although they will not help the adults cut the rice, but the loaches in the field are bad, because the loach business in Montenegro Town is hot, the price of loaches has also risen from a pound of ten to a pound of twelve yuan, the nutrients in the silt are rich, and the loaches grow fast, it didn't take long for the fields to be full of suffocation.

When the role of loaches was not found before, the people of Yangjia Village were very disgusted when they looked at the loaches in the fields, and even had to be removed manually, but now, every household is looking at the loaches in the field, and the mood can be described as a 180-degree change.

In the rainy season of more than 20 years, the rain that had fallen before had already overflowed the depth of the paddy field, when the spring and autumn trousers were pulled into the water, the water in the rice field had not passed the calf of the spring and autumn, the spring and autumn raised the foot and moved carefully, feeling that the soles of the feet were not hard and fast, and there was no potential danger, so he rolled up his sleeves and bent over to work.

"Third sister, how did you catch it? The loach is not easy to catch, the water is too deep" Huzi's complaining words came from behind Chunqiu, Chunqiu didn't have to think about it, and Huzi must be pulling his little head like a puppy at this time to ask for comfort.

"That's right, third sister, I caught too little, I only caught a little bit for so long, you see, my clothes are wet" Chunqiu looked at Chunqiu with some grievances while carrying the bucket that had not yet filled the bottom, her clothes were dirty for a little loach, this was what Gu Xin bought for her a few days ago, her mother would definitely scold her when she saw it, what can I do.

Chunqiu didn't catch it after hearing the words of the two, raised her waist and straightened up, looked down at the bucket placed beside her, and sighed helplessly, not only Huzi and them, but she didn't catch much herself.

"Why don't we let Grandma knock down the clods of soil on the side, and wait until the water is clear, it's not so deep, so it's easy to catch, what do you say?" Chunqiu looked at the reflection in the water and lowered his head and thought about it.

"Oh, this is a good method, whoever has less can catch loaches, third sister, how did you come up with it? It's so smart" Chunhua nodded again and again after hearing it, this is a good idea, otherwise the water is too deep, and it is not easy to bend over.

"Well, you go to the shore and wait for me, I'll go and talk to Grandma" After Chunqiu finished speaking, he walked in the direction of Yang Li with water.

Yang Li was bending down to cut rice, and just carried a stack of rice seedlings to the shore, and when he turned around, he saw Chunqiu who was walking towards her, "Oh, my good granddaughter, why are you here?"

"Grandma, let's open two small openings in the mound opposite, otherwise the water is too deep, and we won't be able to catch the loaches" Chunqiu raised his leg to indicate the depth of the water, and looked at Yang Li with some worry.

"That's it, okay, this thing is simple, don't do it yourself, good granddaughter, you go to your father over there, and let him open an opening with a shovel for you, it just so happens that our house is opposite the river, it's okay" Yang Li pointed at Yang Weibai and said to Chunqiu on the side.

"Eh, grandma, then I'll go over" Chunqiu glanced at Yang Weibai, and after saying goodbye to Yang Li, he left with water again.

"Go, go, go, this water, let it go for a while, there is a net on the shore, you bury it for a while, and wait on the shore" Yang Li thought for a while, and stretched out his hand to the shore on the side.

"Eh, I know," Chunqiu said as he walked back.

Yang Weibai had already harvested all the rice in Yilong at this time, and the horses were neatly placed on the shore, ready to be moved to the ox cart for a while and pulled home to dry, and the spring and autumn seasons on the side ran ashore and shouted "Dad" to Yang Weibai

"Eh, what is Qiu'er looking for her father?" Yang Weibai heard movement behind him and turned to look over.

"Grandma, let you go and dig out the two corners of the mound over there and release the water, otherwise the loaches will not be easy to catch," Chunqiu pointed to the row of mounds in the distance. It means just cut it out there.

"Oh, okay, Dad, let's go" Yang Weibai followed Chunqiu's fingers to look in the direction, it was next to the mound of dirt by the river, and he picked up the shovel and walked aside.

"Dad, there's still a net here, I'm going to cover it for a while," Chunqiu finished shouting, and chased after him with the net.

Yang Weibai was so strong that Kaka knocked out the mound in a few clicks, and then after Chunqiu fixed the net with a stone on the side, he called over the small stones of Huzi Chunhua, who had been standing on the shore for a long time.

"Third sister, are you done?" Huzi walked to Chunqiu's side with a bucket.

"Mmmm, it's over, we'll go into the water when the water is less in a while," Chunqiu said as he squatted on the mound and looked at the newly dug water outlet.

"Oh, third sister, look at my clothes, it's still a new one, my mother will definitely scold me if she knows it" Chunhua pulled the light pink shirt that was rubbed into the mud by her with a sad face. This is what my mother just made for her before.

Chunqiu looked at Chunhua's clothes and smiled, "Second sister, it's nothing, you can go home early and wash it with water in a while, the eldest aunt can't find it" The fabric of this dress is still newly bought by the Gu family for Chunhua Chunni after seeing the fabric that Yuan bought for her, but the color is different, the spring and autumn flowers are star flowers, and the Chunhua sisters are peach blossoms.

"That's right, second sister, you better run quickly after a while, otherwise my mother will definitely beat you when she sees it" Xiao Shi gloated on the side, yesterday he stained his clothes and beat him, his second sister will definitely not get better.

"Hmph, I see you didn't get enough yesterday, you owe it" Chunhua reached out and patted Xiao Shi's head.

"Hmph, don't let people say it yet" Xiao Shi covered his somewhat red head and pouted a little aggrieved, his second sister was really domineering.

"Don't let it, what's the matter" Chunhua looked up at the little stone with a look of disdain.

Chunqiu watched the two quarrel, and it was not easy to persuade them. I had to talk to Huzi, you look at me, I look at you, and I didn't speak.

The four of them stood on the shore for about half an hour, and in the spring and autumn, they found that the water level in the field had dropped by more than half, and they could clearly see the silt underneath.

"Okay, okay, let's catch it," Chunqiu excitedly shouted at a few people on the shore.

After hearing this, several people ran over to see, and then one by one they went into the water, this time it was much easier to catch than before, several people one in each hand, and when they went home in the evening, everyone was carrying a full bucket.

After returning home, Yang Li found a clean large basin of water, poured all the loaches into it directly in the spring and autumn, and then followed by fresh water, and everyone completed today's task.
