Chapter 253: A Typhoon is Coming
July is almost at the bottom, and the drought continues.
Almost everyone took Liang Chuan's prediction as a joke and became the talk of the county residents after dinner. The villagers of Helu Village occasionally talk about this matter, who can be blameless if they are not saints and sages? Not only did they not hate Liang Chuan for pulling them all over the mountain to dig ditches and move stones for two months, after the whole thing was done, everyone realized Liang Chuan's "good intentions", Liang Chuan was unwilling to directly give the money to everyone, so he pulled a fool to help everyone repair the house in disguise, strengthen and strengthen it, and now the whole He Lu looks at it, even the old house is repaired solidly, and the whole village can not see a house that is about to collapse.
Dilapidation used to be He Lu's business card, and now the whole village has a new look, and people's homes are full of grain, San Lang has spoken, if the price of this grain is less than two months ago, how much difference he will supply to the villagers, although it is a bit **, but who let San Lang open this kind of big mouth.
The villagers are ready for the flood, but somehow, they are not worried about the coming of the torrential rain and flood, but they are worried that the flood will not come. If they don't come, won't all their efforts be in vain? People are always so strange!
Zheng Ruoying was worried, Liang Chuan boasted in Xinghua County that there would be a flood in three months, and now the time limit is approaching, her cousin Shi Shi listened to Liang Chuan's words, and went to Qingyuan Port to buy all the new rice shipped from Lingnan, and now it is full of rice, and these rice are enough for them to sell for three to five years. If the rice has been left for so long, will anyone still buy it and eat it at home?
She kept an eye on it at the time, and she also bought a lot of rice from stones, but the amount was a drop in the bucket compared to stones, and Zheng Ruoying didn't dare to play big, this was like gambling, at least she had to protect her capital, and she couldn't smash her net worth into it, like a stone bought so much rice at one time.
Buying rice is a trivial matter, not what Zheng Ruoying is most worried about, what she is most worried about is her own sugarcane field, she made a gambling agreement with her father, if she can't earn the profit promised with Zheng Yiqian, then she will obey his father's arrangement and marry someone she doesn't like. If Liang Chuan was really sentenced by Song Zhixian to be thorned with Chaozhou, who would make sucrose with her? Seeing that the sugarcane is growing more and more gratifying day by day, when the time comes, will it really be cut down and sold on the street?
"The deadline you promised yourself is coming, it's still so hot this day, and there is no rain, do you really want to send a Fafa to Chaozhou at that time?" Zheng Ruoying ran to Fengshan Liangchuan's house and personally asked him if he had any countermeasures, it was not a good idea to stay at home and sit still, if she could, she could arrange for him to go to the field to hide first, and then come back after the rumors passed.
Liang Chuan smiled and invited Zheng Ruoying back, is it necessary to hide, if it really doesn't rain, he has played with so many people, and he deserves to be in the army. Zheng Ruoying looked at Liang Chuan and stomped his feet angrily.
Liang Chuan also warned Zheng Ruoying: "At present, the sugarcane field should be thickened to prevent lodging, and the foundation land may be washed away by heavy rain, so burying more soil can allow sugarcane to escape this catastrophe safely." ”
Zheng Ruoying was so angry, this person was so sick that it didn't rain all day, and he kept talking about how to prevent rain!
Even a well-educated daughter like her couldn't help but burst into foul language: "Liang Chuan, you are a stone in a pit, smelly and hard!" The voice was so loud that Shen Yuzhen, who came in to add tea, was startled. Zheng Ruoying saw when Liang Chuan's family had another beautiful maid, and after a closer look, it turned out to be Shen Yuzhen, the top brand of the Golden Building! I couldn't help but be even more angry, shook my sleeves heavily, and walked away.
He Baozheng became more and more impatient as time approached, he was more worried about Liang Chuan's safety than Zheng Ruoying, if such a good offspring was really sent to Chaozhou because of a joke, it would be over. The local people of Chaozhou are uncivilized, fierce and stubborn, and the climate is even more humid and hot.
Since rescuing Zhao Xiaopin in Xinghua, Zhao Xiaopin has been recuperating in Zhang's house for a few days, and the injuries on his body are almost better, after all, he didn't hurt his muscles and bones, just some contusions. His son-in-law treats Zhao Xiaopin well and prepares to return to his old business and carry forward the business of making firewood stoves.
Zhao Xiaopin's gratitude to Liang Chuan for this matter is incomprehensible, as soon as he is in good health, he took all his net worth and property to share the account with Liang Chuan, Liang Chuan did not calculate so clearly with him, and now he is in the initial stage of his career, and it is the time when he needs money, and he will earn more in the future. Liang Chuan still doesn't look down on the mosquito meat that this kid earns.
Liang Chuan asked Zhao Xiaopin to stay at home and do him a small favor. Zhao Xiaopin was worried that he had no chance to repay him, so he happily accepted it regardless of his busy schedule.
The great cause of charcoal burning has been put on hold for half a year, and now it should be resumed operation, there are so many trees on the mountain, and the government's control over charcoal burning in the south is not as strict as in the north. Because Henan and Hebei are plains, there are no obstacles, and in order to block the cavalry in the north, they can only rely on these big trees. So far, the government strictly forbade people to cut wood and burn charcoal without permission. The south is different, the mountains are full of centuries-old trees, entrenched in the mountains and forests, these trees can be cut down to increase the area of cultivated land. They don't understand these truths about the sustainable development of water and land, arable land is king, and it is the most practical thing to increase food rations.
Liang Chuan asked Zhao Xiaopin and them to dig a charcoal kiln on the hillside behind the back room, and the kiln body was built with bricks, like a stove, but this one was specially used to burn charcoal. The structure is a larger version of the mud charcoal stove that Zhao used to play with before. This kiln burns more than 20 times the output of the original charcoal furnace, and the original can burn 50 catties of charcoal a day, but now a kiln is more than 1,000 catties.
He Baozheng was very happy to see that his son-in-law was now having a serious livelihood, and it was much better to finally mix in the gambling stalls every day. Now the family is not too much to describe as earth-shaking compared to last year, the village has also changed greatly, adults and children are no longer the way they used to make a living, everyone has a heart to live a better life, all of which is due to Liang Chuan. If he leaves, will the village go back to the way it was before? It's quite possible.
He Baozheng now comes to Liang Chuan's house every day to fight the autumn breeze, not to eat and drink, or to run away for Liang Chuan, but he can't open his mouth, he is also a flat-headed common man, and the thoughts of the people are deep in his bones, where is there the idea of daring to go against the government, under the dilemma, these rebellious words have never been able to speak.
Liang Chuan said first: "Lao He, I think you should prepare a little more of these materials for making mosquito coils in the future, and dry them and store them at home in case of emergency." When it rains next, you won't be able to collect raw materials, and it's not good if you can't supply mosquito coils. ”
When he still thinks about others, He Baozheng knows that if it really rains for a few months, then his life will really stop. I am not afraid of deterioration and damage when I buy this material, and I can store it at home, according to what Liang Chuan said, if you can buy more, prepare a little more.
July is a folk Halloween festival, and it is generally the first full moon after the beginning of autumn. This season is also the season of harvest, and the harvest of agriculture is entrusted with the blessing of the gods. It stands to reason that this season is more scarce than the summer rainstorms and thundershowers, and it is not good to harvest and dry grain when it rains.
But what you are afraid of is coming, July is not over, at the end of the month, an ordinary day, in the afternoon with a hoe to go out, but also to the field to open a waterway, or to turn the ground over, the ground is still the same dry and smoking. When I packed up and went home in the evening, two whirlwinds suddenly appeared on the flat ground, raising the dust to the sky, so that people couldn't open their eyes, and when they opened their eyes again, the sky had changed color, and Xinghua, which was usually cloudless during the day, gathered heavy dark clouds, and the black pressure was endless, shrouded in everyone's heads!
It's going to rain! This good news was also a prophecy from Liang Chuan's mouth, and it immediately spread throughout Xinghua. Song Guangdou stayed in the county government with a face full of disbelief, this. Is this really as Liang Chuan said? There must be rain in Xinghua within three months, and there will be a big flood!
Not only the dark clouds overwhelmed the city, but the originally sultry weather suddenly began to blow the wind, and the wind became more and more intense, and finally it was so big that it could roll up the thatch on the roof of the farmer's house, and the trees were blown upside down, and even the rice in the field was blown too badly, and a large area of rice that had been golden fell down in the field, unable to withstand the ravages of the wind.
It's a typhoon coming!
Like the catastrophe that people in this land still fear a thousand years later, the power of the typhoon makes Yangchuan even have a sense of intimacy! Every time a typhoon comes, all their vacations will be canceled, anti-Taiwan is the primary task, the role of the people's cadres is the responsibility of the people's cadres, the duty to charge on the front line, to help the affected people, I, protect the safety of people's property! I didn't expect that I came to this world, but I still can't escape the fate of resisting Taiwan!
The wind howled and the clouds rolled, and the whole world seemed to be apocalyptic, and then the raindrops of beans crackled and fell. The heavy rain urged the busy people in the fields to hurry home, but the strong wind brutally blocked people's way, blowing people to the point that they could not even walk steadily! Wind and rain, but the good thing is that the drought that has lasted for nearly a year has finally been alleviated, and the rain gathers in the ditch, moistening the dry crops, and people sigh that they finally don't have to fight with the thief, and finally have a rest, let God water the seedlings for themselves!
This rain also shocked Zheng Ruoying, this. It's really raining. Could it be that there will really be a big flood in the future?
