Chapter 168 Rain and Flood Prevention: The villagers are busy

After the end of the world, the temperature is suddenly cold and hot, the magnetic field is disordered, and these series of factors cause the living environment of human beings to become more and more bad, which is the bad side, and the good side is that the genes of animals and plants, including human beings, have a tendency to be optimized. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

In the past six months, many villagers in their thirties and forties have experienced a second growth and development, growing taller, becoming stronger and burly, and their immunity and other physical abilities have also been enhanced.

Compared with humans and animals, the optimization of plants is more obvious, and if there is not a locust plague during the summer harvest, it is a proper harvest.

In mid-August, the vegetable seedlings in Liang Xuetao's backyard matured the first stubble, and they were sown from the beginning of July to now, but in just one month, the reason why these vegetables can mature in such a short time is that on the one hand, there is the effect of gathering spirit arrays, and on the other hand, the genes of these vegetable seedlings have been optimized, and they can better adapt to the changes in today's land pattern.

Liang Xuetao has a lot of hardcover flour in the space, and there will be no shortage of food for a while, so after the summer harvest, he and Wei Hongyu set up a lot of shelves in the three acres of land in the backyard, cabbage, leeks, cucumbers, beans, tomatoes........ But he planted all the vegetable seeds that existed in the space.

The terraced fields are planted with soybeans, which are too far away from home, and there are many people, and a single vegetable is afraid of annoying people, and there are many villagers who are greedy and unconscious, so it is common to go to other people's fields to steal vegetables and pick two tomatoes, let alone the end of the world today.

Liang Xuetao doesn't like to let people take advantage of this, so he simply doesn't grow vegetables.

In the past two days, he and Wei Hongyu have done nothing, they are busy harvesting the first crop of vegetables, most of which are stored in the space, and the other small part is kept for eating or pickled into pickles.

Worried that Mrs. Liang might have an idea, he also specially said hello, saying that this stubble of vegetables was ripe too early, and he was afraid that it would be too eye-catching, so he would not give it to Liang Xuebing.

Mrs. Liang felt that it was good to do this, she couldn't hide anything in the village, and she would be blind at the slightest disturbance, and when the people in the village came to ask one by one, "Why are the vegetables in your field ripe so early?" ”

Let Taozi reply?

Besides, several other children have also planted vegetables at home, and they will be almost ripe in half a month, and these things will not be eaten into their mouths by then, and there will be any tightening sooner or later, and now it would be good to be able to eat enough in this world!

In fact, the old lady vaguely knew that Taozi had some little secrets, and since he didn't want to say it, she didn't need to ask. Besides, even if she asked, her son might not be willing to tell the truth.

Rather than hating this, it is better to help his son keep these secrets, anyway, except for the eldest daughter, the other children are living in front of him, just with Taozi's character, if the brothers and sisters really can't eat, Taozi will definitely not care.

After harvesting this stubble of vegetables, Liang Xuetao was busy again. If he remembers correctly, there was a heavy rain in early September, which lasted for about ten days, and the vegetable seedlings and soybean seedlings in the field would definitely not be able to withstand it, so he had to hurry up and install the greenhouse cloth.

The shelves of the shed were ready-made in the ground, which had been installed long before the end of the world, and the materials selected at that time were the strongest, and it took a few helpers to install it in two days.

Liang Xuetao was in such a hurry to install the greenhouse cloth, and the rest of the village naturally wanted to ask the reason, so he told him that there would probably be a rainstorm that lasted for many days in early September.

As soon as he said this, a few people present immediately laughed, and one of them, because of his big head and small body, the people in the village called him a big head, and laughed and joked with his seniority: "I said Taozi, it's only mid-August, you all know about next month?" What's the matter, you're better than the weather forecast? ”

Liang Xuetao simply ignored him, turned around and left, but Xu Yaoguang left the words before leaving: "Can you, you can watch it in the future!" Although he said so, in fact, he also felt that this matter was a little unreliable, and after picking it up, he asked Liang Xuetao upside down, "Taozi, is what you said accurate?" ”

Liang Xuetao casually picked an ear of corn in the field, put it in his mouth, spit it out and asked, "Do you believe in Datou or me?" ”

"That's not nonsense, you're my little hair, iron buddy, he's a chicken feather!"

"That's not over, can you be a brother who can pit you?"

Xu Yaoguang smiled, and had the heart to say a few more words, but seeing that Liang Xuetao refused to say more, he didn't ask any more.

The man who called the big head felt a little unbearable on his face, and turned his head in anger and made a big deal of the incident in the village.

However, after half a day's kung fu, Zhou Cheng got the news, he knew that Liang Xuetao's master was a master, and then thought about it, the ancients had a saying that they watched the sky at night, and they could speculate about the weather for nearly half a month, and the master may not have this ability.

So after dinner, I came to the door to ask about it, and after getting confirmed, I got busy.

Don't take care of the more than 10 acres of land under the name of the village protection brigade, this year can only fertilize the land, and can't plant things, but the quality of many people's greenhouses in the village is not strong enough, and the heavy rain of ten days will definitely not be able to stand the big shed shelves supported by those pieces of wood.

This is still secondary, the most important thing is that some old houses in the village that have been in disrepair for many years should not collapse when the time comes, in case it is not a trivial matter to kill people, and then you have to carefully check whether the ditches in the village are blocked.

The villagers followed the trend, and in this way, they also paid attention to it, so these days in late August, the villagers of the entire Datian Village were so busy that they couldn't touch the ground.

The Liang family is also not idle, all the broken roof tiles are cleaned out, and new ones are installed. Liang Xuetao's old house was not pulled down, and two ditches were temporarily dug in the front and back yards, which were full of potholes and did not look very good, and Liang Xuetao didn't care about it, just be practical.

Later, he gave Liang Xuebing and others some rainproof cloths, Zhang Aimin and Xu Yaoguang's families also shared, the rainproof cloth was covered on the roof, and a thick layer of wheat grass was spread on it, although it was not very breathable, it could keep out the rain.

The shelves in the fields of several families have also been reinforced, and the two acres of land of Liang Xuemei's family were given to her by Liang Xuetao after the end of the world, but she took advantage of it, so she didn't have to worry too much. Afraid that there would not be enough food to eat after the winter, she got some sorghum seeds after the summer harvest, corn on one acre of land, sorghum and vegetables on one acre of land.

After such a busy work, in the blink of an eye, at the beginning of September, as Liang Xuetao expected, on the third day, a downpour came as scheduled.

Not long after Liang Xuetao arrived home after going up the mountain to practice, the sky was completely overcast, and the silver lightning snake and dragon in the clouds of lead, and soon turned into a huge pillar of light and smashed down.

Thundered!

After a burst of thunder, the raindrops of bean size began to fall, and the rain became heavier and denser, but after a moment's effort, the sound of the rain became loud, as if someone was carrying a huge basin of water from the sky.

Liang Xuetao put on a raincoat and opened the courtyard door, the door of the farmhouse is basically the same, two large iron gates, one of which has a small iron door inside, if there are no motor vehicles in and out, generally only open the small door.

After the two iron gates were opened, the rainwater in the yard would quickly drain into the ditch outside, followed by Liang Xuetao to go around the backyard, go down to the ground to see if the ditch was draining, and add some feed to the cattle and donkeys.

When I returned to the front yard, I found that there was a thin layer of rain and mist in the air.

Wei Hongyu and Mrs. Liang were standing under the eaves on the left and right, with a little sadness on their faces.

Like a second general, Liang Xuetao grinned.

"What's wrong?" He took off the poncho, took the towel handed by Wei Hongyu, and wiped two handfuls.

"I've never seen such a heavy rain in my life, if it really rains for ten days as you said, our village won't be flooded, right?"

"That's not possible, you can rest assured with me, God has to give me some thin noodles."

Wei Hongyu was so angry that she smacked him, "Your eyebrows are burned, you are still poor with me!" With that, he turned around and went into the house.

Liang Xuetao followed in, explaining as he walked: "It is said that it has been raining for ten days, and the rain cannot be so heavy all the time!" ”

"Are you sure?" Wei Hongyu was skeptical.

Of course, Liang Xuetao can be sure that although Datian Village was affected by disasters in his previous life, it was not completely flooded. However, this cannot be said explicitly, and can only be made up and fooled in the past.

"For such a long time, the rain must be big and small, this is common sense."

Wei Hongyu bit her lips, always feeling that something was wrong, but for a while she couldn't think of anything to refute the other party.

Liang Xuetao saw the opportunity and immediately diverted the topic.

After breakfast, Liang Xuetao went down to the ground, and went to Liang Xuebing and others' homes to take a look, the rain has just begun to fall, and nothing will happen for a while.

Datian Village is not as good as other places, it will be completely cooled down as soon as it rains, Liang Juan and several people have put on jackets today, and Mrs. Liang has also put on a coat. After breakfast, the old lady sat at the table of the eight immortals in the hall and took the soles of her shoes, while the three small ones gathered around the coffee table to play cards.

Liang Xuetao went around the village and returned home to be idle, and he also went up to play a few handfuls, he already had some talent in this regard, not to mention that he was a congenital monk, he shot very fast, stealing a card for a card and playing like playing, no one noticed the three small ones, and almost killed the whole hand.

After playing for more than ten games, she was kicked off the table by Liang Juan, Xiao Nizi was not convinced, and complained to Wei Hongyu: "Mom, look at Dad, bully us!" ”

Wei Hongyu glared at Liang Xuetao, "The children are playing cards, what are you fooling around, you have the spare time to cook lunch with me." ”

Being able to get along with Wei Hongyu alone, let alone the stove room, even if it is a pit, he is happy, he got up happily, and when he got out of the hall, he didn't wear a poncho, it was troublesome, and he came to the stove room with Wei Hongyu after a few ups and downs.

On a rainy day, Wei Hongyu plans to make a pot at noon.

Liang Dou and Liang Juan both love to drink tomato and brisket soup, but it must be too late to stew now, and there is not enough time, so Wei Hongyu is a little worried for a while.

"Make a pot of stew, a little bit of all kinds of meatballs, I still have a lot of meat balls and egg dumplings you made, and then get some spinach, and a handful of vermicelli." How big it is, look at what worries her. After Liang Xuetao finished speaking, he began to dig things out of the space.

Wei Hongyu nodded, "Okay, stir-fry garlic sprouts and stir-fried meat, sour and hot cabbage, the pot is sufficient, and three dishes are enough." ”

After setting the dishes, the two of them were busy on the stove.

Needless to say, Liang Xuetao's knife skills have already been exercised, and these peasant dishes are also used to Wei Hongyu, but in half an hour, the three dishes have been prepared, and the rice has been steamed.

The food was upside down with dishes, and a pot of stewed soup was directly covered with the lid of the pot, and the two people kept it into the hall.

When the dishes were served, Liang Xuetao went to the bathroom again and carried a bucket of well water and put it under the eaves outside the hall for the children to wash their hands. The two wells in front of and behind his house are equipped with reels, and the pumps in the wells are no longer usable after the power outage in Datian Village, and he brings water from the well every morning, and there is a large vat in the stove room and the washroom.

In the hall, the three small ones were fighting.

Liang Juan pinched the big and small kings in his hand, and was thinking about killing the Quartet, but as soon as Liang Dou heard his mother say that there were meat balls to eat, he immediately put down the cards in his hand, stood up and cheered happily. She was so angry that she shouted: "What are you anxious about? This hand is not finished yet! ”

"It's time to eat, what cards are you playing!" Liang Dou, who was sitting at the table after washing his hands, said solemnly.

The quality of the vegetables grown after warming with the Gathering Spirit Array is really extraordinary, the garlic sprouts are sweet, the cabbage is refreshing, and the delicious balls in the stew pot are delicious, and the children eat this meal fragrantly, especially Liang Dou, who loves meatballs, and ate a whole bowl of rice more than usual.

After lunch, the rain was a little lighter, Wei Hongyu saw it in her eyes, but she completely believed Liang Xuetao's words, and said that it was going to rain and her mother was going to get married, she wanted to this idleness, and God would not give face, what is the love.

Speaking of which, sleeping on a rainy day is the most beautiful, the raindrops hit the tiles of the eaves one after another, ticking, like a lullaby.

Datian Village is near the mountain, the terrain is already high, and every household in the village has dug ditches outside the courtyard door before, although it is raining heavily, but as long as the courtyard door is wide open, there is basically no water, and the ditch on the terraced field is guarded by Zhou Cheng, so naturally there is no problem.

Of course, there are exceptions, such as Xu Pandi's house, not long after the rain started, the water in her yard had already begun to accumulate.

Originally, Xu Pandi's housework and farm work were all handled by Min Xiuxian, and when Zhou Cheng called on the villagers to dig ditches, she also took care of Xu Yaoguang and asked him to do it, and Xu Yaoguang also agreed.

As a result, not two days after this incident, Min Xiuxian suddenly caught a cold and fever, and she couldn't afford to get sick, Xu Yaoguang was frightened at that time, and even ran to Liang Xuetao's house to get medicine.

Min Xiuxian lay on the bed and rested for many days before she carried it over, and after that, Xu Yaoguang didn't let her go out, let alone work in the field. In this way, the farm work of her family and Xu Pandi's family is basically done by Xu Yaoguang alone, and he is as tired as a dead dog every day, and he can fall asleep next to the pillow.

When the work in the farmland was almost busy, he was busy building a greenhouse with Liang Xuetao and repairing the roof, so the matter of helping Xu Pandi's family dig a ditch was put on hold.

When the rain first started today, Min Xiuxian didn't think about it, so she asked casually in the afternoon, only to learn that her husband didn't help anyone at all, so she hurried to Xu Pandi's house. (To be continued.) )
