The family was busy until April 20, which was the day of the 24th solar term. When Situ Yan got up early, it was still dark and thought that she had seen the wrong time, and when she went out, she realized that it was dark clouds pressing on the top, and the sky was gloomy, like hanging a black and gray curtain. couldn't help but be a little worried, and reminded Li Dalang not to go into the mountains to collect firewood today, and to dig up all the ridges first, so that they could be drained in time once it rained heavily.

"Xiao Wu, it hasn't rained for so long, and it's finally raining, why do you still dig up the ridges and drain them."

"I'm just afraid that the rain will be too heavy. Dig it up first, and if it rains heavily, bring the water from the field to the water cellar first. When the store is full, it is drained to the canal. Li Dalang hesitated, but still did as Situ Yan said.

"The third brother and the fourth brother go to the backyard to dig up the ridge of the dry land, if it rains heavily, remember that there is a sign wood in the paddy field, if the water exceeds the upper line, open the drainage board, if it is lower than the lower line, the drainage board will be blocked."

"Xiao Wu, what should I do if all the drainage fish have run away?"

"I can't run, I put a fishing net in the drainage place, the third brother can rest assured."

"That's it, I'll dig up the ridges first, and then go to pick up the pigsty."

While making breakfast. Situ Yan reconciled the noodles and planned to wrap some meat and vegetable buns at noon. After breakfast, the chicken coop, pigsty, and livestock shed were inspected. I also went to the official field to take a look, checked the shack, and looked at the field again, and saw that Li Dalang and Li Erlang were doing very well, so I went home with confidence.

Before noon, the Great Wilderness Mountain was dead silent, and even the birds on weekdays sounded very distant. The air was a little oppressive, not even a hint of wind. Suddenly, a white light flashed in the sky, and the entire curtain was torn apart in an instant, Situ Yan was cleaning the drainage canal by the paddy field in the backyard, feeling the light around him for a moment, and in less than a few breaths, the thunder pressed in the low clouds and roared continuously, which shocked people's ears and heart palpitations.

didn't give people a chance to react at all, and the heavy rain fell from the sky like a waterfall, shrouding the entire Lijia Village in mist, "Third brother, fourth brother, hurry back to the house!" Situ Yan shouted that the two of them ran home together, even so, with such a heavy rain, the three of them were still drenched.

"Xiao Wu, this rain is the same as pouring it on a pot, how can the seedlings be neat?" San Lang was a little anxious, such a heavy rain, I am afraid that the seedlings will be watered.

"It's okay, as long as you don't dip in water, when the weather is clear, the seedlings will grow well. I'm worried about my eldest brother and second brother, and I don't know if they're drenched. No, I'll have to check it out. Situ Yan couldn't rest assured that Da Lang and Erlang would get up and go out.

"No, Xiao Wu, this rain is so heavy, what if something happens? If you want to go, I will go. San Lang pulled Situ Yan and didn't let go, saying that he wouldn't let the little sister take risks.

"Third brother, it's raining heavily at this time, don't go first, I'll go cook some ginger soup, you and the fourth brother put on the clothes, and go to the paddy field in the backyard first."

Saburo then remembered that the paddy field's water baffle hadn't been removed yet, so he hurriedly pulled Shiro and ran out. Situ Yan didn't change her clothes, she wrapped some meat and vegetable buns first, and boiled a pot of ginger soup, and then put Li Dalang and Li Erlang's change of clothes into the ring, together with the stove, firewood, and food, and there were a total of two clothes at home, so she found a straw mat and put it on, and rushed out of the door in the rain while San Lang and Shi Lang were not in the house.

Anyway, things won't get wet in the ring, and she's not afraid of getting wet herself. The village was full of dirt roads, and when it rained, it was muddy, and even those who were deep and shallow could not run, and when they reached the edge of the fields, there was no one in the shack.

Situ Yan first lit the stove, warmed the ginger soup, put the buns in the basket and hung them aside, put the clean clothes on the bed board, and saw that Li Dalang and Li Erlang had not come back yet, so she couldn't help but be a little anxious, and was about to look for it, when she saw the two rushing in from the rain.

"Xiao Wu, why are you here for such a heavy rain? Did you fall? Look at your clothes are all wet, and you will catch a cold when you turn around! Li Dalang saw that his little sister was soaked all over, and her hair was still dripping with water, and her eyes were red with distress, and he kept asking questions one after another.

"Big brother, I'm fine, you and your second brother are also soaking wet. Is there something going on in the field? ”

"My second brother and I are in good health, the field is fine, but the drainage ditch is blocked, I see that the water is going to be over the ridge, so I take the second child to give it through." Li Dalang said as he pulled Situ Yan to the stove.

"It's okay, the eldest brother and the second brother wiped it quickly, took off their wet clothes, and dried their clothes on the bed. I boiled ginger soup and drank a bowl of it. Situ Yan turned her back so that the two of them could change their clothes, and she herself served ginger soup while admonishing.

Li Dalang and Li Erlang saw the clean clothes on the bed at this time, and their hearts warmed up all of a sudden, the little sister braved such a heavy rain, just to send them clean clothes, she was distressed and happy, and changed her clothes, Situ Yan handed the bowl with ginger soup to the two, and then took the wet clothes and took a wooden stick to support them and hung them aside. Before she could speak, she heard Saburo's voice coming from a distance.

"Big brother, is Xiao Wu here?"

"Little San, come in, Xiao Wu is here!"

San Lang rushed into the shack, and pulled Situ Yan up and down a little angrily, and was relieved to see that people were fine, "Xiao Wu, why are you disobedient, it's not that you won't let you come, you are still running around?" ”

"Third brother, it's okay, I'm fine. Big brother, there are buns in that basket, if the rain doesn't stop at night, don't rush back, it's hard to walk when it rains, I take a lot of buns, enough to eat two meals, this ginger soup needs to drink two more bowls, if there is anything uncomfortable, go and shout to me, don't hold on, I will go back with the third brother first. ”

Li Dalang and Li Erlang responded one by one, Situ Yan looked at the nest shed again, and made sure that it would be fine, so he and San Lang rushed home.

I went to the clean room to change all my wet clothes and drank two large bowls of ginger soup, and then I felt that my body was not so cold.

"Little Wu, I listen to you everything, but you don't listen to me." San Lang was still a little angry, but in fact, he was more distressed. He also knew that Xiaomei was thinking about his brothers, but when he thought of Xiaomei's drenched appearance, he still felt uncomfortable.

"Third brother, I don't worry about the eldest brother, I won't be in the future, don't be angry, third brother." Situ Yan pretended to be tender again, there was no way, if she didn't coquettish, Li Sanlang didn't know when she would be angry.

Sure enough, this trick is the best, Li Sanlang immediately smoothed out, and rubbed Situ Yan's still somewhat wet hair. Shiro was already relieved when he saw the third brother and the little sister coming back together, and he was holding a soup bowl and drinking ginger soup at this time.

The rain fell for more than an hour, only to see a little less, Situ Yan's worries did not let go, if it has been raining heavily, it may stop soon, if it turns into moderate rain or light rain, I am afraid that it will rain for a few more hours, while San Lang did not pay attention, put on wet clothes, and went to the paddy field to take a look, and saw that the water level was well controlled, and the water on the dry land was also discharged, and the pigs, chicken coops, and livestock sheds were not flooded. After making sure that everything was in order, I went back to the house and changed into dry clothes.

It was cloudy and rainy, and before the time came, it was as dark as the night, and the north wind was blowing, Situ Yan and San Lang and Shiro were sitting on the kang in the hall and were worried about Li Dalang and the others. I heard the courtyard door ringing, San Lang got up to open the door, Situ Yan and Shiro also got off the kang and stood at the door of the hall.

"Girl, it's raining heavily, there's no leakage at home, right?" It was Mura Zheng who spoke, Lijia Village had never had such a heavy rain, from the moment it rained, he went from house to house in the field, and then he turned to Situ Yan's house. is also not worried, if the land in this village suffers a disaster and there is no harvest, his village will not be able to do well.

"Uncle Wangfu, come in, I'm okay at home, it's okay."

"I'm full of water, so I won't go in." Although Muramasa was wearing a robe, he couldn't stand the heavy rain, and he had already been drenched. I'm embarrassed to go into someone's house.

"How can you just stand at the door when you pass through the door, or Uncle Wangfu will go into the stove room to warm up, I will cook ginger soup, drink a big bowl, and go to the cold." Situ Yan didn't wait for the village to object, and pulled people into the stove room.

first persuaded Muramasa to untie his clothes and find a Mazha to sit and rest, and then served a bowl of hot ginger soup to Muramasa.

The village is drinking ginger soup, and then I feel better, "Hey, I've been out since the first noon, and I've been walking so many houses, and I'm here at the girl's place, so I can drink hotly." ”

"Look at what Uncle said, I'm afraid that the adults in the village have gone to the ground, and the babies in a room know how to respond."

"You're not a baby, aren't you?"

"I'm a little adult, I can take care of a big family to eat and drink."

Situ Yan's words made Muramasa laugh with San Lang and Shiro. Seeing that the village was drinking ginger soup, Situ Yan took two warm buns, "Uncle Wangfu, you haven't eaten lunch yet, right?" It's not a good thing to eat some mats first, don't dislike it, uncle. ”

"Ouch, you girl, you are thoughtful. I'm really hungry, so I won't be polite to you. "The village is really hungry, and he has been turning around on an empty stomach for several hours in the wind and rain, and he doesn't even stutter. After a few bites, I ate all the steamed buns.

Situ Yan wanted to take it again, how embarrassed was Muramasa, he hurriedly said that he still had something to do, put on his clothes, and got into the rain again, and when he was about to leave the hospital, he also told Situ Yan, "Girl, you don't have to worry about Da Lang, I'll go and see, don't run out." ”

"There is an uncle to take care of me, I have something to worry about, let my uncle suffer."

"Okay, Uncle He, what are you polite about?" Send people out the door. Youcun was going to help take a look at Li Dalang and the others, and there were San Lang and Shiro in the backyard to take care of them, so Situ Yan went back to the house to rest with peace of mind.

When the village was going to Li Dalang's shack, he saw Li Dalang and Li Erlang drinking ginger soup and eating steamed buns, and saw the two of them wearing dry clothes and drinking hot soup on the stove, and they were really a little envious in their hearts, "This must have been made by a girl, with this girl, these boys of the Li family are blessed!" He told the two to take care of the fields and not catch a cold, and then went home.

When Aunt Fu saw the head of the house coming back, she hurriedly brought the warm food to the table, took clean clothes and changed them for Murazheng, "Okay, don't be busy with his mother, I took a bite at the girl's place, I'm not hungry at this time." ”

"Boss, what are we doing with the land in the village?" The old village was worried about it for a while, and he didn't even have lunch.

"Li Da Niu, Li Wu, and Li Aniu's land looks like fertile land on weekdays, but the terrain is low, which will all let the water soak. There are still a few households, and they haven't had time to drain the water, so they are thinking about the drainage, what kind of bubble can be made, and they have to wait for the weather to clear and see. ”

"These people are not too young, it is not as good as Da Lang's children who can farm, and the whole village, just Da Lang's land, has the best drainage."

"I don't know if Da Lang will farm, but with that girl here, I really don't worry."

"Yes, when I went to see, Da Lang and Erlang were guarding the stove, drinking hot ginger soup, eating steamed buns, and they looked comfortable in that shack. I went from house to house for a few hours, and I didn't even drink my saliva, but I still went to the girl's house, gave me a bowl of hot ginger soup, and ate two meat and vegetable buns. Even I envy the blessings of the four stinky boys. ”

"Yes, if I didn't care about so much at the beginning, it would have been nice to keep the girl in our house." Lao Cun Zheng and Cun Zheng had the same thoughts, and they both regretted that they couldn't leave Situ Yan because they were afraid of gossip from the villagers.

"Okay, what's the use of regretting, hurry up and fill your stomach, and you have to drive to the county to pick up the little sheep and them from school." Only then did Muramasa remember that his son and nephew were still in the county school, and they didn't eat anymore, so they hurriedly put on their clothes and drove to the county seat in the rain.
