Chapter 30 Speculation
In the last two years of Ji's life, Li Niang's education was to the point of madness, forcing her to practice piano, chess, calligraphy and painting every day, and telling her the scheming and intriguing stories of the rich and noble people every day.
Ji said that he was from the south of the Yangtze River, some people in the family were studying, some people were in business, and the family was wealthy, and later offended the officials and had to move their family north, but unexpectedly there was a big flood on the road, and the whole family was washed away by the water, so she had to escape with a big tree alone.
This can explain Ji's versatility, but as Li Niang gets older, she always feels that there are many doubts.
The mother is no longer there, and there is no way to say if she has any doubts in her heart, but now Li Niang may have to be replaced by someone for her own contribution to saving people, in fact, she is not very angry, her mother said, it should be her own can't run away, it shouldn't be her own, and she will lose it one day.
And it's not the right door, and it's not necessarily a good thing to be involved with such an eventful big family.
Li Niang analyzed his analysis and said to his brother, and he also agreed, "The person who hurt him may not have found out, if the anger comes, we will suffer, let's wait and see, if you want the silver, we can earn it slowly with our hands, Li Niang, don't worry." ”
"Oh, am I because of the hundred taels of silver? Brother, you underestimate me too much. Li Niang raised her little face in shame, "He Liniang is despised and doesn't know it, the son of a big family, is his life worth a hundred taels?" Really, she lost all the faces of Xiaowan Village when she said it. ”
How could Shubai not understand the truth, but it was a matter of the He family, he couldn't come to the door and tell people that you had too little money?
No matter how upside down the outside is, the Mo family at the end of the village still lives their own leisurely life, Shubai still goes to deliver live fish every episode, and then sets up a letter stall for a day, and the rest of the time he reads at home, collects firewood, and takes care of the crops, the corn is almost ripe, and there are many things in the field.
And Li Niang still does housework during the day with children, and goes to Xianzhuang at night to carry work, ten days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the fairy has begun to yellow, but the owner of the village has not yet been seen, and the wine fairy has not appeared, Li Niang began to be a little anxious, because in recent days she can always hear movement outside the cloud wall.
It wasn't a good move, the buzzing and clicking sound reminded her of very bad memories, and she suspected that there might be a lot of bugs wandering outside the cloud wall at the moment, they were attacking the cloud wall, and if they broke through, they would rush in and feast on it.
I didn't tell my brother about these worries, and Li Niang was silently under tremendous pressure alone, so she has been talking less recently.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, Shubai came back from the ground, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and his fair face was also tanned.
"Itchy! Itchy! Qingyuan struggled desperately, and Shubai laughed and let him go.
Li Niang saw a little worry in the laughter, and while she was holding corn paste, she asked, "Brother seems to have something on his mind?" ”
"Hmm." Shubai took the paste and thought, "It hasn't rained for three months, the ground is cracking, and last year it was snowing so heavily, according to the records in the book, there may be a big drought coming." ”
Drought and waterlogging are the most harmful natural disasters to farmers, Li Niang heard that her heart was excited, "Then what should I do, the corn is about to ripen, wouldn't it be a pity to die in the sun?" ”
"I'm afraid it's going to be hard these days, I went to Uncle Niu's house when I came back from the field, and tomorrow I will rent his ox cart to pull water and water the ground, and you will prepare thirty yuan." Shubai drank the mush, not wanting to discuss this issue any longer.
The next morning, before dawn, Shubai went to the village with the money to get the ox cart back, even borrowed a pair of buckets, the two brothers and sisters filled the water in the dark, in addition to the four buckets, and also carried two small water tanks to the ox cart, and Li Niang mixed a lot of heavenly water into it.
When Qingyuan woke up, the three of them hurriedly ate breakfast and drove the ox cart to the field, because the dry land of the Mo family was the most remote, they went out of the yard to the right and walked to the end, and they didn't meet anyone along the way.
When she arrived at the ground, Li Niang exclaimed, she had stayed at home recently and had never been in the field, and now she found that the corn in the field was wilting, and she was going to die, and the corn cobs were also very small, and there were not many meters in it.
As a cultivator, the biggest advantage is that there are talents in the family, agricultural taxes can be exempted, and the income in the field is counted as a point.
Hurry up and water it, and if you water it in the heavenly court, you may be able to remedy it!
After pouring a bucket of water, Li Niang saw that there was no one else around, so she went into the green gauze tent and touched the ring to Xianzhuang, and after a while, she brought back a bucket of heavenly water, Shubai saw that she was full of buckets of water, and when she came out, she couldn't help but stare at her, "Be careful, Li Niang." ”
"Yes." Li Niang poured the water from the heavenly court into the water tank, and carried the empty bucket into the green yarn tent, like this, the ox cart was only pulled twice, and the two acres of dry land were all watered, and Qingyuan, who had been playing in the field, didn't know that it was Brother Shubai's heart for a long time.
I don't know if the water in the heavenly court really played a role, or if it was psychological, when Li Niang left the cornfield, she felt that the yellowed leaves had turned green, and the pole was tall and vibrant, hehe, this half day was not in vain.
When Shubai went to return the car, a villager asked, and he told the truth that not long after he returned home, Village Chief Li and his son Li Deguang came running, "Xiao Xiucai, Xiao Xiucai, the book says that there will be a big drought this year?" ”
Shu Bai embarrassed, "I'm not a god book, how can I say when there will be a big drought and when there will be a big flood, Uncle Village, I am based on the description in the book, I speculate that there may be a big drought in our area this year, and I can't do it accurately." ”
"Oh, that's speculation." The village chief raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat, his expression was much more relaxed, and the next moment he jumped up in shock by Shubai's words.
"Uncle Village, this agricultural book is a summary of the experience of the predecessors, it is estimated that there will be no mistakes, I think it is better for the village to make plans early."
Li Deguang also said: "Yes, Dad, yesterday I went to the river to net fish, the waterline has dropped more than two feet, and if it doesn't rain, the river will only get less and less, and the slope can be ignored first, but if there is no water in the wheat field and rice field, the northwest wind will be drunk in the second half of the year." ”
Xiaowan Village is relatively remote, surrounded by mountains on three sides, there are not many fields, and there are no big families to buy land to build farms, but each family has one or twenty acres, and all manual watering is a big project.
