With the help of Zhao Chenjing, Shen Moli's brother really successfully entered the county school, which made the four members of the Shen family very happy for a while. Shen Botao also found someone to teach him temporarily under Zhao Chenjing's suggestion, calmed down and studied at home, preparing for the autumn season in September.

It's June.

On this day, Shen Moli was at home, sitting in the shade of the yard tree, the pu fan in his hand did not stop, he looked up at the sun in the sky, the leaves of the persimmon tree were all sunburned, and he felt the heat much higher than in previous summers, and then looked down at the raindrops that had grown up, his ears were half erect, and he was lying on the ground motionless with his eyes squinted.

"It's raining!" Shen Moli paused at this moment, and pointed to the low stool to signal the rain.

Yudi stood up listlessly, shook the hair on his body, and trotted over the low stool with ease.

Shen Moli pointed to the low table again to signal the rain.

Raindrops leaped effortlessly again and looked at their master with a flattering expression.

Shen Moli nodded with satisfaction, patted Yudi'er's head, and raised his eyes to see the courtyard wall more than one person high on the opposite side and stretched out his hand.

The rain was stunned, and the innocent eyes turned to look at the master, seeing that the master's fingers did not move, he whimpered low to express his dissatisfaction, and ran towards the courtyard wall, and kept scratching with his four paws on the earthen wall, hoping to jump over the wall, only to scratch the wall and the soil flying, and the rain changed from a little black dog to a little yellow dog.

"Teach it to be bad! Turn around and the wall of our yard has collapsed! Let's see if I'll give it away! As soon as Zhou Wanqing came out of the house, she had a headache when she saw the scene of this person and a dog messing around, and the rain had just changed the bad problem of serving the table, and Li'er taught it to scratch the wall, which was really worrying.

Shen Moli stuck out her tongue at her mother and grimaced, and hurriedly ran towards her bedroom.

With a look of grievance and the rain of loess, he didn't scratch the wall anymore, and ran into the house with his tail between his tails and Shen Moli.

"It's not too hot! Let me see it scratching the wall again, and see if I don't hit it! Zhou Wanqing looked at this scene with a headache and muttered a sentence in her mouth.

Shen Moli saw her mother enter her brother's house and take the mattress out to dry through the crack in the door, patted her chest and put her heart at ease, she only ran a few steps before she sweated, looking at the scorching sun outside the window worriedly, and then thinking of the bad weather this year, her good mood was all gone, and her mind was quickly thinking about how to solve that problem.

"Mother, our firewood is almost finished, I'll go buy some!" Shen Mobei decided to inspect the market and said at the door of the house.

Zhou Wanqing, who was sweeping the floor in the yard, turned her head and looked at the firewood next to the kitchen, which was only enough to cook two meals, "You can't stay at home for a day, just go if it's not too hot!" As he spoke, he took out a few pennies and handed them to his daughter who walked towards him, "Don't buy firewood that is too wet!" ”

"Mother, don't worry!" Shen Moli took the money and led the rain out of the door.

Coming to the market two streets away, Shen Moli didn't look at any other excitement, and went straight to the stall selling firewood. Looking at a dozen or so firewood sellers, the family who picked up the firewood and dried it and bundled it was real negotiated the price and paid the bill, and when he was about to go home, he saw an old man who was driving a donkey cart to sell charcoal not far away, sitting on the ground smoking dry tobacco and waiting for the customer to come to the door.

Shen Moli changed the direction of his feet and went straight to the old man who sold charcoal. After asking the price to be more suitable than in previous years, I bought a car of charcoal, which attracted the attention of many people.

The three of them went straight to Shen Moli's house before and after, and the raindrops that were running and playing followed closely behind.

Zhou Wanqing looked at the firewood stacked next to the kitchen with an angry face, and then looked at the basket of charcoal that was being unloaded into the courtyard, only to feel that the weather was hotter, how could ordinary people be willing to burn charcoal to cook in the summer!

After taking the two away, Zhou Wanqing couldn't suppress the anger rising in her heart, and was about to reprimand her daughter but couldn't find anyone in the yard, thinking about it, she hid in the house again, stretched out her hand to stroke her forehead, only to feel that her head was suddenly painful.

"Shen Moli, you come out for me......" pinched his waist and just opened his voice.

Shen Botao, who went out to meet the text, entered the house and looked at his wife with a frown: "What are you doing here?" ”

When Zhou Wanqing saw her husband coming back, she slapped her hands and shed tears in anger: "Look at this girl, the bigger and more disobedient she is, the more she has ideas!" I obviously said that I went to buy firewood, and when I came back, I bought so much charcoal and spent a lot of copper money! ”

"Buy it, buy it, what a big idea to make such a big fuss! Isn't it just a copper coin!" Shen Botao took out a handkerchief to help his wife wipe her tears, and when he saw his wife's face was pale, he hurriedly continued: "I'll talk about her, you go back to the house to rest for a while, it's too hot outside!" He coaxed his wife into the house, looked at his daughter's closed door, shook his head, and went to the study.

"Daddy!" Shen Moli stood at the door of the study and saw that there was no anger on his father's face, so he was relieved to enter the house, "Daddy, you drink a glass of water to relieve the heat!" As he spoke, he poured water and handed it to his father.

Shen Botao looked at his well-behaved and sensible daughter and took the teacup, "It's not good to cool off at home on such a hot day, what kind of charcoal to buy on the street!" ”

"There's a reason why my daughter did it! Daddy, do you feel like this summer is hotter than usual? Shen Moli felt that this was a good opportunity to have a good talk with his father.

Shen Botao recalled the temperature of previous summers while drinking water, and nodded, "It's really much hotter, I heard that there are many people who have suffered from heat stroke these days." ”

After receiving his father's affirmative answer, Shen Moli said while sorting out his thoughts: "Daddy, have you heard that the hotter the summer is, the colder the winter? My daughter was worried that it would be very cold and snowy this winter, so she bought some when the price of charcoal was not high. After speaking, he looked at whether his father listened to it, whether he believed his own statement, and whether it would cause his father to have other doubts about himself.

Shen Botao listened to his daughter's words, put down the cup in his hand when he heard about the snow disaster, thought for a while and said, "Li'er, you can't say nonsense if you have no basis. Where did you hear that? ”

Seeing his father's serious face, it seemed that his thoughts had attracted his father's attention, and seeing that his father did not suspect anything else, Shen Moli relieved his heart, "My daughter doesn't remember where she heard it from, I guess I heard it from an experienced old man." "Try to make a thinking face.

Just relying on a few words from his daughter, Shen Botao still didn't fully believe it in his heart, but he didn't want to deny his daughter because of his limited experience, "Li'er, there is no detailed source for this matter, but if this thing is true, the consequences will be serious." When I went back, my father asked others for advice. ”

"Daddy, the fewer people who know about this, the better, why don't you discuss it with your uncle and see what he has to say." Shen Moli said carefully, attracting Zhao Chenjing's attention This is his original intention to do this, after all, he is the parent official of a county.
