As the weather gets hotter and hotter, the crops in the fields are growing well and the time is in need of a rain. But as the ground grew drier and drier, it was about to be scorched. Every family hopes that God will make a rain to save the crops in the field, but the more they look forward to it, God will not rain.

At this time last year, there was no rain due to drought, but fortunately, God had mercy on the two rains that saved the crops and the lives of the crops who depended on the sky for food. I don't know if God will have a life-saving rain or two this year like last year.

After a few more days, God did not hear the people's prayers, and every day they hoped that there would still be no rain, and seeing that the crops were about to die of drought, the people in the village were so anxious that their mouths were foaming.

Most of the people in the village live on the harvest in the fields, and the family wears all the grain and no other crafts. There is no other way but to pick up water from the river to irrigate, but fortunately, Dahe Village is close to the river, which is much more convenient than other villages.

Shen's father was also very anxious, and took Shen Jinqian and Shen Jinxin brothers to go out early and return late every day, and even Liu Boan in the town asked for leave from the pharmacy to come back to help.

Shen's mother and Liu Bicao were anxious in their eyes, afraid that the crops would not be harvested, and they were also afraid that the father and son would be tired from working every day, so in addition to helping in the field, they changed the way to make food for them to replenish their bodies.

Seeing that the sun had gone down for a while, the father and son were still nowhere to be seen. The weather is hot, and the porridge is drunk at noon these days, and it should be hungry at this time, so Liu Bicao cleans up the house. Carry the basket with the food to the field.

Shen Jinxin and Liu Boan, two and a half years old, drank porridge at noon and poured a few pees away, and they were already hungry. However, seeing that his father and brother were busy in the field, he couldn't bear to say anything, and then buried himself in hard work, and when he saw Liu Bicao coming with food, his eyes lit up, and he didn't need to be greeted by anyone and ran to the ridge in the blink of an eye.

Father Shen and Shen Jinqian also went up to the ridge from the field, and Liu Bicao brought the food out of the basket in turn.

"I'm hungry, don't wait for me to eat." Father Shen drank warm water, saw that the two boys were still waiting for him to move his chopsticks while swallowing saliva, and spoke.

With Shen's father's words, Shen Jinxin and Liu Boan took the chopsticks, held the bowl, and devoured it.

Seeing that Shen Jinqian was sweating on his forehead, Liu Bicao took out the handkerchief he was carrying, and carefully helped him wipe the sweat, feeling that he had been tanned again in the past two days, and he had lost weight again, and he couldn't stop feeling distressed, hoping that God would rain soon.

"Have you eaten yet?" Shen Jinqian asked her sideways, afraid that she would also come hungry. Seeing her nodding, she began to eat.

"Eat slowly, be careful and hurt your stomach." Seeing that Shen Jinxin and the others were in a hurry, he hurriedly scooped a bowl of soup for them for fear that they would choke, "Drink some soup, don't choke." ”

The fragrance of the Shen family's food spread all over the fields, causing other people to swallow their saliva, and some family members sent food to be better, and those who worked hungry were suffering. Already hungry, their stomachs were even more "cooing", and many people simply put down their work and took the opportunity to rest for a while.

"Brother Shen, your food is really fragrant." Chen Laosan swallowed hard, his family hadn't opened meat for a long time.

Also, Liu Bicao not only cut a piece of meat and fried it with beans today, but also baked egg and leek cakes, can it not be fragrant?

Now that it's not raining, it's a question of whether the grain can be harvested, in order not to starve to death next year, the food at home is saved and eaten, where can you still eat meat like the Shen family.

The meat dishes and more than half of the white rice in the Shen family's bowl are so greedy, how did the Shen family live so well now? I really can't figure it out.

"Yo, your family eats meat again today." Erfu's father also ate the food sent by Erfu Niang, but he wasn't hungry, but he couldn't stand it and didn't eat meat.

His family lives next door to the Shen family, and he can smell the smell of meat every once in a while. But now, my daughter-in-law is doing work in the embroidery room, and the family has an extra income, and the family has discussed, and when I get the first salary, I will buy meat and come back, no matter how I can let the child satisfy his hunger.

Aunt Wang sat on the side, and took over with a pouted mouth and jealousy: "I said Bicao, you can't forget us when your family makes money, we are also from a village, and if there is anything good, bring us with you." ”

Aunt Wang's eldest daughter-in-law, Wang Liu, also went to the embroidery room before, but unfortunately she was not selected, so she has always held a grudge against Liu Bicao. I don't think it's my daughter-in-law's craftsmanship, but Liu Bicao deliberately.

"That's it, Bicao, my family and yours are still neighbors." Xiuling saw that Aunt Wang opened her mouth, and she also spoke, and her eyes were also full of dissatisfaction when she looked at Liu Bicao.

This has to start from the selection of embroidery girls at that time. Because the two families were close to each other, Xiuling knew the news early and went to Liu Bicao to ask her to leave a place for herself.

Liu Bicao refused at the first time, for the sake of fairness, let her go to the embroidery room on the day of the selection of the embroidery girl, but unfortunately Xiuling was at home that day and did not go, and thought that with the relationship between the two families, even if she didn't go, she could do it.

As a result, it was obvious that her plan was frustrated, and since then, she has seen that Liu Bicao's eyes are not eyes, and her nose is not a nose.

Liu Bicao listened to the words of the two, but felt a little funny, and when she saw that some people showed a look of approval, she was even more helpless.

Erfu Niang is not afraid of offending people, and besides, her daughter-in-law is still working in the embroidery room, and the Shen family is the owner.

"Some people are not skilled themselves, and they are also weird people, me

Don't you cut the monster yourself and don't drop money in the sky? ”

glanced at the ugly faces of the two, and continued: "Like my daughter-in-law, Shunda daughter-in-law and sister-in-law Zhou, which one doesn't rely on their own efforts to eat, don't you say?" ”

A few family members working in the embroidery room echoed and said yes, it can be seen that Liu Bicao is not not helping the villagers in this township, it is your own reason, who can blame it?

The aunt of the Chen family still wanted that old face, and immediately called Xiuling away with a tiger face.

Aunt Wang's face was also not good-looking, and she followed her family members to the ground again.

After all, the family's food and drink in the coming year are on it, and they immediately carried the hoe and the bucket went to the ground.

"Hmph, these people are." Shen Jinxin and the others left before revealing their anger.

"No matter what others say, as long as our own family members are living a good life, we have not done anything hurtful to heaven and reason." Liu Bicao quickly put away the dishes and chopsticks, and followed Shen Jinxin's words by the way.

Father Shen nodded: "Your sister-in-law is right, let's go, it's late, it's getting dark." ”

Waiting for the father and son to leave, Liu Bicao also carried the basket and prepared to go to the embroidery room to have a look, if the progress is okay, also give the embroidery girls a holiday.

As soon as I got up, I saw two children standing in front of me, their faces were dirty, and after a closer look, I recognized that these were my two half-brothers, Liu Dabao and Liu Erbao.

Seeing that the two of them had been staring at the basket in their hands, I knew that the two of them were hungry.

Listening to Shen Jinxin, these two children have cried sadly since they woke up last time and knew that their mother had left them and didn't want them. Later, Liu Erlei took them with him every time he went to the ground, but he was more sensible than when his mother was there.

Looking at the face that hadn't been washed for an unknown amount of time, Liu Bicao sighed secretly, no matter how much she hated the Wang family, the child was innocent after all.

He took the two of them to the stream and washed their faces and hands, and then took out two uneaten cakes from the basket, one for each person.

The two of them ate in a big gulp, and in the blink of an eye, they finished eating, and they didn't forget to lick their hands.

"Thank you." Liu Dabao pulled Liu Erbao, knowing that she and his brother's lives were saved by her, and he was a little embarrassed, "You saved my life and my brother's life." ”

After speaking, he pulled Liu Erbao, who still wanted to eat cakes, and walked away quickly. Looking at the back of running away, I remembered that Liu Dabao, who was arrogant and rude in the Liu family before, seemed to be influenced by the Wang family in every word and deed, and it seemed that it was a good thing for the Wang family to leave.
