Niu Lili was also very happy when she heard that Qi Xiaoyan had been admitted!
Without waiting for Secretary Qi to come and pick up people, Niu Dajun had already found an ox cart and sent Qi Xiaoyan and He Tiantian home. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
He Tiantian asked Niu Lili to help buy the grain, which was also loaded on the ox cart.
"Not bad, not bad. When Secretary Qi heard that his daughter had been admitted, he was also very happy and diluted the sorrow on his face.
Qi Xiaoyan saw that her father's spirit was not very good these days, and she thought she was worried about her, so she smiled and comforted: "Dad, I went well in the exam, and I have worried you these days." ā
"My daughter is so good, I'm not worried. Secretary Qi said proudly and drove the ox cart back.
"Then I see why are you so tired these days?" Qi Xiaoyan asked worriedly, the weather was really hot, and she kept wiping the sweat on her head.
Secretary Qi didn't want to spoil the fun, but when he saw his daughter's concerned eyes, he sighed and said, "Hey, from the Chinese New Year to the present, there hasn't been a drop of rain in our Taoyuan County!"
He Tiantian was stunned for a moment, and then remembered this stubble.
In Huai City, although it is dry, it is much better than Taoyuan County.
Something big is going to happen in Taoyuan County!
He Tiantian thought of the neurotic little spinning turtle in the enchantment, her head was big for a while! Because of Qi Xiaoyan's exam, she was also anxious and nervous, and forgot the little spinning turtle in the enchantment who kept shouting hungry.
"Is it really going to be a disaster?" Qi Xiaoyan frowned and looked around, there was no water in the river, the trees were listless, and they were dying.
"Our village is fine, there is snow melting on the mountain, and there is still some water to irrigate the ground. But there is only so much snow water in the back mountain, it is almost finished, and there will be more places to use water in the future, so what should I do?" Secretary Qi was worried about this!
He Tiantian didn't say a word, thinking about how to appease the little whirling turtle after he went back.
She always felt that the little whirling turtle was pretending to be crazy and stupid, and in the face of drought, it might have a way, but it didn't say it!
After going back tonight, together with the snake king, he tortured the nervous little spinning turtle.
Everyone's good mood has been diluted a little by the drought.
"Okay, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, Xiaoyan, you don't have to worry about your family, you can go to the army with peace of mind. Secretary Qi comforted and said, it is rare for her daughter to get her wish, and she can't make her unhappy.
Qi Xiaoyan also knew that she couldn't help, so she could only comfort her father and said, "Dad, I will have an allowance when I become a soldier, I will send it all to you, and the life of the family may be better." ā
"These are not things you should worry about, as long as you go to the army, it is the greatest comfort to Dad. Secretary Qi said with a smile, his simple face was full of love, which made He Tiantian envious.
It's nice to have mom and dad!
It's even better to have mom and dad around!
When I arrived at Qijia Village, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon!
Compared with other places, in the fields of Qijia Village, the crops have emerged, but they are dry because of lack of water.
First sent He Tiantian back to Qi San's grandmother's house, and He Tiantian moved down two bags of grain.
Seeing that He Tiantian was so far-sighted, Secretary Qi thought about going back, sorting out the tickets and money at home, and going to buy food.
Grandma Qi San was very happy to see He Tiantian coming back, and made brown sugar eggs for He Tiantian.
When He Tiantian ate the eggs, Grandma Qi San whispered: "Sweet girl, you put these bags of grain in the cellar." ā
"Okay. "He Tiantian should respond, in the era of famine, food is life!
He Tiantian picked up a bag and sent it to the cellar not far from the kitchen, where he usually used.
"Not that cellar. Grandma Qi San reminded in a low voice, "You come with me." ā
Grandma Qi San took He Tiantian around to the cowshed in the backyard and whispered, "You push the cow trough to the left, and the cellar is under the cowshed." ā
He Tiantian was stunned for a moment and asked, "There are two cellars at home?"
"yes, we usually use the cellar in the front yard. The latter one is for hiding things. Grandma Qi San said, "Some of the grain we got from the team is in the cellar in the front yard, but the ones you bought back can't be put there." At the critical moment, these two bags of grain are our life-saving food!"
He Tiantian entered the cowshed and pushed the trough hard, but found that it couldn't be pushed!
"What are you anxious about?" Grandma Qi San said with a smile, and after saying that, she came in with a crutch, and the three-inch golden lotus kicked on an inconspicuous stone in the corner of the wall, and the stone shrunk a little, "It's okay now!"
"Oh, grandma, you still have a mechanism at home!" He Tiantian said in surprise, he had seen it for a long time.
"This was my family's old home, and I knew there was a cellar in the house, but I didn't know where. My brothers and sisters are gone, they have all gone to the city to find a future, I have not left, serving my parents, and my father told me that there is this cellar at home before he died. Grandma Qi San explained, "This place is known only to me and my man. Now you are my granddaughter, tell you, lest one day I be useless, and no one will know about this place. ā
He Tiantian hesitated, such a tall cellar, and it was also a dense cellar in the house of the largest landlord in Taoyuan County before, presumably it should not be empty.
"Grandma, this is the secret place of your family's ancestors, can't you bring me here?" He Tiantian hesitated, after all, Grandma Qi San still has descendants.
"Okay, you're my granddaughter, what's wrong with it?" Grandma Qi San said, "Hurry up and push that trough again, it's daylight, we have to hurry!"
He Tiantian saw that Grandma Qi San insisted, and she didn't want to possess the things inside anyway, so she pushed the trough with a frank heart, and it could really be pushed, there was a black hole three feet long and more than a foot wide, and there were stairs made of stone inside.
Grandma Qi San went down cautiously, took a match and lit the oil lamp on the cellar wall.
It's not a cellar, it's a secret room!
He Tiantian moved down the two bags of grain, and then took a closer look at the secret room.
There are more than 30 steps from the staircase, which shows that there is a height of 10 meters from the ground to the bottom of the chamber. If you don't know where the mechanism is, you can't dig three feet into the ground.
Under a few dim oil lamps, He Tiantian found that there were actually two secret rooms.
One of them has household items, pots and pans, as if it is going to live, and the other side is tightly closed, presumably to place some valuable things.
He Tiantian was curious, but she didn't ask.
"Grandma, the food is ready, let's go up. He Tiantian said, the secret room has not been ventilated for a long time, and the smell is not good.
Seeing that there was no greed in He Tiantian's eyes, Grandma Qi San was even more relieved, and said, "Sweet girl, I'll take you to that room to have a look." ā
He Tiantian was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook her head and refused: "Grandma, although I am curious, after all, this is not suitable for me to see the things of your ancestors." (To be continued.) )
