048 Dried up
The lantern riddle will be sparsely populated, and the light of the lanterns is gradually fading. Tong Ningzhi and Tong Ningxin left with the footsteps of Ah Chou. In the huge field, only Ding Juwen and Zhou Lingqiao remained.
Zhou Lingqiao was not interested at all at this time, and gritted his teeth in annoyance: If Brother Juwen won the competition, there would not be so many moths! But she can't blatantly blame Brother Juwen!
Ding Juwen pondered the two mysteries that Fang Ugly said: morning glory and living alone. He had to admit that Hua Liuli's strength in guessing riddles was indeed higher than him. This defeat, he was convinced. But even if he won, he didn't think about giving Zhu Hai to Zhou Lingqiao, let alone losing now.
He took the pearl hairpin, glanced at Zhou Lingdextrous, and took a deep breath: "The playboy values love and righteousness, it is really rare, if he has the opportunity to see it again in the future, he will definitely return this thing to its owner, this is what he deserves." With that, he walked away and ignored Zhou Lingqiao.
Putting all the fault on Hua Liuli is undoubtedly the best choice at the moment.
Zhou Lingqiao, who was upset, didn't have the heart to figure out the meaning of Ding Juwen's words. She only knew that this Shangyuan Festival was really the most aggrieved Shangyuan Festival in her life.
The rainy season is coming to an end, and the weather is getting warmer. Ah Chou took advantage of the last few days of the first month to hurriedly prepare all kinds of seeds, and when the sting arrived, it was time to sow seeds. Fifteen acres of land at home: five acres of Shangtian is still empty, and Ah Chou and Grandma Xu discussed, four acres of grain and one acre of vegetables; Ten acres of Zhongtian, gastrodia, bellflower, astragalus and honeysuckle have each occupied one acre of land, and there are six acres left, and Aug decided to plant all gastrodia.
In this era, gastrodia is still wild, and there is no possibility of artificial cultivation at all. In modern times, artificial gastrodia is also a technical problem, and it was not successfully cultivated until the sixties and seventies of the 20th century. Such a precious gastrodia is precisely a commonly used medicine, so if she can successfully grow gastrodia, she will make a lot of money.
However, this thing is the same as luxury - too much, then it is not worth much. Fortunately, relying on the medicine field space, she is exclusive. But if all ten acres of land are used to grow gastrodia, the risk is too great, and if something goes wrong, the whole army will be wiped out. Therefore, planting some purple bellflowers, gold and silver alternating honeysuckle, it is also pleasing to the eye; It is very practical to plant some astragalus to nourish qi and nourish the body, and make some medicinal diet.
She has been brewing this plan since she bought the field, so for most of the first half of the month, Ah Chou has almost been dealing with gastrodia medicine in the space, and now she is almost ready.
"Grandma, we have some savings now, don't be too tired," Ah Chou put away the clothes to dry in the yard, turned his head and said to Grandma Xu, who was about to feed the chickens, "It's hard to plant wheat, it's a big deal that we can earn a little less and spend more." ”
Grandma Xu shook her head: "You girl is sensible, don't you just spend some effort, even the wheat seeds you buy ready-made ones in Huainan, and I don't have to worry about it." ”
Ah Chou put the clothes into the house and took the millet from Grandma Xu's hand: "Grandma, don't be busy, sit for a while." No matter how you say it, it's hard work to grow. ”
"Four acres of land is also called hard work? You have one acre of vegetable land and ten acres of medicine land, and grandma's four acres of land must be planted! Grandma Xu sat down in the yard and looked at the ugly man who sprinkled the grain and fed the chickens.
"Can growing medicine and growing food be the same?" Ah Chou secretly stuck out his tongue: The ten acres of land are planted with medicines, but they are all planted with medicinal materials that don't need to be taken care of, and the medicinal springs in the space have been treated, so they can grow well.
Grandma Xu sighed: "Our family is a female household, there are no men, so it is naturally hard, and grandma has to help you share it." After a few days, it should be time to discuss marriage. ”
Ah Chou was stunned, and his tone was shocked: "So early? "She doesn't know the age of the original owner, but look at this body, at most thirteen, in modern junior high school! Soon, get married?
"It's a bit early, but the situation in our family can't make you a girl hold on. When I marry someone to my husband's house, I will be relieved that someone will bear it with you. Grandma Xu spoke earnestly.
Ugly put down the grain in his hand. She understood what Grandma Xu meant, it was nothing more than to get married early and have a support as soon as possible. However, regardless of whether she doesn't want to marry now, even if she really wants to marry, with her ugly face, who wants it? Besides, she didn't think she needed a husband to help her. It would be nice not to confer trouble with her, help her? That's a good idea, isn't it?
It's a pity that grandma doesn't understand her thoughts: "This matter is too early, let's discuss it later." She ended the topic lightly.
The sting soon arrived, and the weather was getting warmer. At the foot of the mountain, the tender yellow spring has bloomed, bright and fresh in the shining sun.
After planting an acre of gastrodia, Ah Chou propped up his waist, sat on the ridge of the field, looked at the blooming spring flowers and stretched his waist, and felt comfortable. The spring afternoon breeze hits, with a hint of fresh grass and the sound of two women talking.
"It's really strange on this day, seeing that the stings have arrived, I can't see a drop of rain."
"Isn't it, since the beginning of autumn last year, it has been snowing so far. There is not much water in the small river in the west of the village, and I am in time to plant crops in spring, and I am afraid that it will be dried up in a few days! ”
Ah Chou chuckled in his heart: Spring drought? No way? This is a big deal, the beginning of spring is just in time for crops, and if there is a shortage of water, the harvest of the year will be affected. Thinking about following the prestige, I saw Sister-in-law Zhao and Sister-in-law Jiang talking while walking.
Jiang's second sister-in-law echoed: "No, just catch up with the water, I'll go home first and get a few more buckets." ”
"You go first," Sister-in-law Zhao waved her hand, "I'll also go back and ask the man of my family to carry water." ”
Ah Chou was slightly stunned, and realized that things might not be so simple, so he got up from the ridge and ran to Grandma Xu, who was planting wheat not far away: "Grandma, I just heard that the small river in the west of the village is running out of water. Our family has always used mountain streams, but I haven't paid attention to the situation over there, why don't I go and take a look? ”
Grandma Xu was also stunned and pondered: "From the time we moved to Gujing Village, until now, it was a light snow at the beginning of the first month, and it didn't take long for it to melt." Now it's all shocking, it hasn't rained yet, and if it goes on like this, there will be a big problem. It's good for you to go and see, although our family doesn't use the water of the small river in the west of the village, but it's all the same on this day. If anything, we have to prepare for it. ”
"Okay, then I'll go, and I'll be back soon." Ugly said, running to the small river west of the village.
The small river in the west of the village in my memory, although the river surface is not wide, is always murmuring and sparkling; There are countless flowers and plants on both sides of the river, lush and full of life.
But now, Ugly is standing by the river, and he can't help but gasp-
Only the shallows of the river, which is not wide, are left, and the current is so small that it is almost bottoming; The original river bank was dry and cracked, and the grass was sparse and yellow. This scene is similar to the scene she saw when she took the high-speed train and crossed the Yellow River Bridge in autumn and winter in her previous life, but it was a miniature version and there was not so much sediment.
I haven't been here for more than a month, how did this place become like this?
Before he had time to think about it, Ugly was pushed and almost hit a tree next to him. Then, she watched as several people rushed to the remaining water source with buckets.
"It's only been a few days, and there is only so much water left in the river, if you don't get more home, I'm afraid I'll have to dry up tomorrow morning!" Aunt Zhou "took the lead" and pulled Zhou dexterously to rush to the front.
Ah Chou stepped aside and stood aside, her thoughts still unclear: she always felt that something was wrong, and in a few days, the drought should not have dried up so quickly......
However, the development of the situation did not have time for her to sort it out, and several families by the river began to quarrel.
"The Communist Party only has so much water, why do you Zhou family want it!" Sister-in-law Zhao put down the bucket and crossed her waist, extremely dissatisfied.
Aunt Zhou hung her triangular eyes: "First come, first served, could it be that this river belongs to your Zhao family!" Hum! He said that he would carry water and leave.
Sister-in-law Zhao stopped her reluctantly: "Before the words were explained, you want to leave?" If you want to go, leave the water before leaving! Don't think that we don't know how much water is in the Zhou family's water tank, if it weren't for your family's hidden tucking, I wouldn't be so short of water in this village! ”
"Why are you talking," Aunt Zhou put the flat burden down, and the two buckets of water rested heavily on the ground, "Have you done anything bad in my family, you don't need to say!" If you run slowly and want to drink water, you think this river is your own, wishful thinking! ”
Seeing that the two looked like they were about to fight, Ah Chou hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Sister-in-law Zhao, Aunt Zhou, if you have something to say, they are all neighbors, and they are harmonious and wealthy." "Naturally, you are fighting, and what suffers is the two buckets of water at Aunt Zhou's feet, and the two buckets of water from Zhou Dexterity behind. When the time comes, the bamboo basket will be empty, and the only remaining river water will also be used by you to water the wasteland, what a pity!
When Aunt Zhou saw that it was an ugly, her triangular eyes hung higher, and her expression was incomprehensible: "You are a little girl, can you control me?" Get out of the way! I'll see what everyone can say today! ”
These words are really ugly, and Ah Ugly couldn't help frowning under the veil: "Although this river is not from the Zhao family, it is not from your Zhou family, but from our whole village." If you are so forceful and forceful, the whole village will not be convinced. ”
Aunt Zhou wanted to defend something, but before she could open her mouth, she was overtaken by her own daughter.
"Ugly, you broom star, you're embarrassed to come out and be embarrassed," Zhou Lingqiao put down the bucket and stepped forward, his face was not good, "Since you came to our village, there have been one bad thing after another." In front of it, Brother Ding was injured, Sister-in-law Jiang had an accident, then there was the Li family, and now there is a drought. Our village is just because we took in your broom star, which is harmful to people, and God can't see that it doesn't rain! Without you, where would we be looking for water everywhere, we would have suffered because of you! ”
Ah Scandal's eyebrows jumped, and his back was cold: Whatever dirty water is poured on me, Zhou Lingqiao, you are going to transfer hatred to save Zhao!
