Chapter 35: Stealing Water
It had not rained, and even the children in the village were aware of the oppressive suffocation in the dreary air. {Sui}{Dream} Novel Ρww{mΠ΅ng][lΔ}And this kind of suffocation, when it arrived in the small courtyard of the Fang family, disappeared without a trace.
One cool evening, when Li Zheng came over, Guoguo was reading a book, Qingshu was practicing calligraphy on a special sand table, Cao'er and Liang were collecting the soles of their shoes, and Fang Yuqian was cutting wood on the side, a quiet and peaceful scene.
Li Zheng stood at the gate of the courtyard and coughed a little, and everyone noticed his arrival. Sitting down, chatting, and gossiping, until several children are doing their own things, Li Zheng is still not easy to speak.
It was getting dark, and the Liang family was about to prepare dinner, and the owner of the Fang family, Liuli, was eating. Li Zheng revealed his intention at this time: the people in the village still hope to use the Fang family's water to water the land, and want to learn from Fang Yuqian about the cultivation of wheat in the second season.
"The last time I got into trouble with the Liang family like this, the village suffered a big loss, my body was injured, my food was gone, and I was still angry. At this time, if there is no charter, it will be chaotic! Rizheng sighed deeply.
Guoguo, who had been pretending not to save zΓ i on the side, couldn't help it: "Is there a charter in this village, what does it have to do with our family?" β
Li Zheng choked, and many words were stillborn.
He wanted to glare at Guoguo again, and as soon as he straightened his face, he thought of Guoguo's status in the Fang family, so he turned to Fang Yuqian again: "Yuqian, that water was given to us by our ancestors in Rongshu Village, and the big guy uses it, so it won't hinder it, right?" β
How did this end up on the water?
"But we still have fish in our pond, so we want to raise fish!" Guoguo didn't give an inch.
"Yuqian, now that the village is in trouble, you have to help!" Li Zheng still looked at Fang Yuqian.
"What can our old, weak, sick and disabled family help? Rizheng looked down on us. The grass came out of the kitchen, her voice was crisp and crisp, with the peculiar annoyance of a girl, and it hit her heart.
"Elm money?" Li Zheng knew that he couldn't reason with Guoguo and Cao'er at this time, otherwise, many things would be messed up.
Fang Yuqian was a little confused: "Lizheng, what do you mean?" β
Li Zheng was angry, thinking that he really didn't make it clear, so he had to clear his throat: "This water, anyway, will come out of the ground, you just let the big guy water the ground or something." β
Fang Yuqian's first reaction was to look at Guoguo's reaction, who thought that Guoguo's expression was indifferent, as if he had expected Li Zheng to say this. He cleared his throat and said, "Cao'er and her mother's body is just right, our family is old and young, sick, and small, and we can't control where this water goes." β
When Li Zheng heard this, he was overjoyed, and he thought, "Yu Qian, this pond is built so high, and there is so much water saved, how much water flows out!" "It's a drop in the bucket.
"Gong Chongde, these things happened in the village, and we are also anxious. But you see, our family has returned to the village, and we have never been born in peace. We have more than enough heart, and now the whole family is counting on the water from this pond to water the ground! Guoguo sighed and said, who wouldn't mourn the soldier policy.
Li Zheng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but after all, he couldn't say anything, sighed heavily, and left.
"Guoguo, is this good?" As soon as Li Zheng left, the good old man Fang Yuqian was not calm.
"What's so bad? Dad, have you forgotten how your mother was injured before? Have you forgotten what the people in the village say about us? Cao'er said in a sharp voice, "Don't blame Guoguo, Guoguo doesn't say it, I will say it too." Cao'er's eyes turned red before she finished speaking.
Fang Yuqian sighed: "That's what Dad meant. β
"That's what you mean! You just don't think we're right! "Cao'er Qing XΓΉ was a little excited.
"Grass." Liang glanced at her disapprovingly, "Don't you understand your father's temperament?" β
Cao'er turned around and went into the kitchen, and Liang followed. Qingshu looked at the kitchen door, then at Guoguo and Fang Yuqian, put away the sand table in his hand, and patted the dust on his body: "Guoguo, don't look at it, it hurts your eyes, I'll go and give you the palm lamp." β
Fang Yuqian sighed and silently picked up the wood again.
When the meal was served, Fang Yuqian's brows didn't even spread.
"Dad, you don't really think that we are so cold-blooded, regardless of the people in the village, right?" Guoguo couldn't stand it, and he didn't pretend anymore.
"What Guoguo does, it's all right." Fang Yuqian still knows how to protect the short, "But this water γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
"Now that they are given water, what can they do?" Guoguo said while eating, not looking at Fang Yuqian at all, "What they want to learn is the cultivation of these two crops of rice." Although our family doesn't say it, they have already seen it on the side, and they will still do it after all. β
"That?" Fang Yuqian put down his chopsticks, "Guoguo, your father has no score in his heart." "Yes, the attitude of the people in the village is repeated, can Fang Yuqian not be injured?
Guoguo swallowed the rice in his mouth: "Actually, I don't know what to do." After saying that, he smiled slyly and continued to eat.
Fang Yuqian was amused by her action: "Okay, let's eat, eat more." β
"Guoguo doesn't know, Qingshu, what about you?" Cao'er is not the kind of girl who eats and sleeps silently.
"I listen to Guoguo." Qingshu didn't think that far at all, "Guoguo will be able to practice walking in two days, right?" Speaking of this, the Fang family began to get excited again. After lying down for so long, Guoguo also felt guilty.
So, the topic of water was put on hold. But the next day, when Qingshu went to fetch water, he came back with a red face. As soon as he entered the yard, he couldn't hold back: "The water in our pond was stolen last night!" β
"Stealed? How to steal? Guoguo couldn't react for a while.
"Last night, a quarter of the water in the pond was released." Although the mouth had been blocked when Qingshu went, there were wet traces on the edge of the pond and a sink that had been washed clean by running water, and Qingshu knew in his heart that someone had released water last night.
When Liang heard this, he became anxious: "Qingshu, you didn't make trouble with others, did you?" "If you follow the waterway, you can see who dug the water for the hole.
"These people really can't let people live!" The grass stood up and was about to go out.
Liang hurriedly grabbed her: "You are a girl, why are you going?!" β
Guoguo didn't expect this, she frowned: "Qingshu, you better go to Lizheng for this matter." β
"He's not going to help us!" The grass pouted.
"Mother, let Qingshu deal with this matter, he will be the man of our family in the future. This will be in the backyard, let Dad come over and get an idea! Guoguo said calmly, for a while, she really didn't expect these things to happen so soon, originally thought that it would be like this when they harvested.
