Zhang Xiaobao stood in front of the window, looking at the rain outside that didn't hit at all, but it seemed to never stop, and muttered: "There is no shortage of water now, and those precocious places don't know if they are also like us here. ”

"Probably not, right? If this is the case, the price of grain this year will rise a lot, and it will not be possible to rain at the same time throughout the country, just as there is no drought in other places, and the harvest has already failed in the places where the drought has been bad, and it is not bad to wait for the imperial court to relieve them; Li Longji was still good in the early stage. ”

Wang Juan also felt tired of the endless rain now, mainly because the house was damp, and the swimming pool outside could not go, so it was okay to stay in the house, do nothing, and if you wanted to read a book, you had to light the lamp.

Zhang Xiaobao felt that he was indeed a little unfounded, and the lack of food had nothing to do with Zhang Wang's two Zhuangzi, so naturally some people were worried that he couldn't collect some grain now, and sell it at a fair price at that time, and the purpose of seeking credit for the family had been achieved, so there was no need to continue to bother.

As for buying it at a low price, if it is sold specifically for the purpose of making a fortune, he is not ready to get it, and he can't make too much money, unlike the grain that was used during the drought, the amount of that grain is not much, just hundreds of thousands of catties, you can take the opportunity to increase the price, and if you want to make a fortune here, you have to get at least tens of thousands of tons, it is easy to be targeted by others, too much, and then the credit will be gone, and people will not be stable.

"Xiaobao, it's better to catch fish with an umbrella, it should be easier to catch at this time, I used to hear people say that when it rains, the fish are easy to take the bait."

Wang Juan was a little disturbed by this air pressure, and when he saw that Zhang Xiaobao didn't speak, he proposed next to him.

"It depends on what kind of fish, if you don't catch it, you can catch it in our pond, just right, it has rained for two days, the ground has been wet, and people can connect the six ponds, and then the construction is easy, dig a pit."

Zhang Xiaobao didn't want to catch it, he and Wang Juan could only drag a very small net, and it was not far to throw it, and I don't know how long it would take to catch one on the shore, as for fishing, it was not necessary to think about it, when I encountered a slightly larger fish, I could drag the two of them into the water.

"It's okay, let's see how many coats and straw hats there are in the grocery store, send them to the villagers, let them dig a ditch, we will take care of the food, and then give a salary of three cents to one person, and let the doctor in the Zhuangzi make some medicinal soup, don't catch a cold."

Wang Juan listened to Zhang Xiaobao's words and agreed, and immediately arranged it, the farmers were also idle at home, as soon as they heard that there was work to do, the laborers at home came out with tools, they didn't care about the food and the salary, and it was their desire to do something for the master's family.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not continue to stay in the house, let the pomegranate accompany them, held up a big umbrella, and ran to the side of the small river in front of the courtyard to watch the river slowly rise.

There were many fewer customers in Shuiyunjian Restaurant, only some outsiders who were unwilling to brave the rain to rush back continued to live in the courtyard behind the restaurant, but the market was not affected by anything, and it seemed that there were a little more people than usual.

Many of these people mainly come to sell vegetables, the vegetables are not afraid of being watered by the rain, after being wet, it looks more verdant, the price given by the two dogs is a little higher, the price of the fruit has been lowered a little, and the fruits that are usually sweet are not sweet at this time.

When the evening came, the rain finally became heavier, and accompanied by the rumbling thunder, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn't seem to hear such a big movement, they still got up to study, Pomegranate didn't sleep today, just sat at the door, yawned to see the little boy and the two studying there, from time to time was frightened by the thunder, and saw the lights on in the inner and outer rooms, before settling down.

The family of four who fled in the courtyard of Shuiyunjian did not sleep, Xiaoman always cried, when the elder sister had to be held in his arms, carrying the things he had learned in his mouth, and coaxing his younger brother, the two adults were talking in a whisper there.

As Wang Juan said, not all places will rain, Henan Road here is still not a drop of water, Xiaohong and cherries under the window to settle accounts, these days all kinds of eggs are harvested a lot, some of them are directly pickled, and some of them are replaced with things on the same day, and they can not be left as much as possible, otherwise there is no place to put them.

Yao Chong has been on two folds in a row, and he hasn't given a reply yet, I don't know how long the matter here will drag on, he already plans to leave early tomorrow morning, Cheng County Order is also arranging for people to pack up their things and prepare to leave at dawn, after all, Sanshui County can't miss a county order.

Only those merchants who also came with grain and were ready to get some benefits did not have the slightest intention of leaving, they hated Xiaohong and Cherry in their hearts, not only brought so much grain to give away for nothing at once, but also used those eggs to go to the state capital outside in exchange for grain to lower the price here.

The people who came to sell grain before really made a profit, and these people wanted to get more benefits, so they took out the money to buy grain, and when they came back, they found that the local people were not as crazy as they were at the beginning, and almost all the local government offices posted notices, saying that a large amount of grain would be shipped over soon, and no more high-priced ones should be bought.

Erniu is not like them, listen to the words of the little boy, sell the grain in his hand, and rush directly to Shandong, without the slightest stop, he has more tasks, in addition to continuing to pull stones, but also to the seaside place to buy kelp, spend the money, the kelp is dried, and it is transported back to Zhuangzi together.

Two days passed quietly, in the children's waiting, in the morning, the sun came out, perhaps God also knew that the children were in a hurry, there was a thunderstorm last night, before dawn, it became a clear sky.

The age-appropriate little babies on Zhang Wangge's family are all ready, each person has a Rubik's Cube, adding up to a lot, fifty-five people, some have no children at home, adults come to see the excitement, and some of the two children in a family are old enough, so they naturally hold hands here and wait for the competition.

In addition to them, there is also Li Xun, the son of the Li family, his team is the most spectacular, plus those foreign children who got the news from others and signed up, together with more than 80 people, especially among them, there are two children who are always talking about poetry and poetry in the restaurant.

The fathers of these two children may be worse in the imperial examination, but when they are educated, their usual strictness is not bad at all, from the age of three or four to practice calligraphy, to the age of eleven or two, and now they have been writing for so many years, and the foundation is not bad.

The appearance of these outsiders made the little baby on the Zhuangzi feel a lot of pressure, and felt that the first of the four items was about to run away from their eyes.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan knew about this situation, and the two of them discussed it, and finally absolutely did not take any remedial and comforting measures, so that the children in Zhuangzi could see the power of others, so as not to think that they were better than others if they knew a few words.

Seeing the gap, fortunately, they worked harder when they were studying, and a small number of people who were hit could correct their thoughts through some persuasion, and the two of them were looking forward to that Liu Er the most, wanting to see how she would perform this time.

The competition is about to begin, and the venue is selected in the open space in front of the Shuiyunjian Restaurant, where someone has already cushioned it with sand, and the tables and chairs are neatly placed, and the four treasures of the study room are placed on it.

The little babies were all sitting on the chairs, looking around from time to time, looking a little nervous, there were many people around to watch, there were the Zhuang farmers on the Zhuangzi, and the adults who came from outside with their children, as well as those boring 'talents' also sat in the restaurant by the window.

The first test is the Rubik's Cube, which was originally arranged for calligraphy, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are afraid that once the children on the Zhuangzi lose, they will not be able to play a little strength later, and they are not expected to win the first place, as long as they can show their good side.

On the roof of the second floor, Zhang Xiaobao was held by two maids in the yard and looked down, and a few ropes were tied to his body, which accidentally dropped the two of them, and the roof of the second floor was closed to the public today.

"Xiaobao, I heard that two children with good calligraphy came from outside this time, do you think that Li Xun will lose to them? In case Li Xun doesn't win once, and he hates this competition, we will be self-defeating. ”

Wang Juan looked at the situation below, turned his head and gave Zhang Xiaobao a look, his lips moved, and asked Zhang Xiaobao.

"Probably not, right? He was educated in that environment, and the teachers he hired were better than those elsewhere, and calligraphy was not only to be practiced, but also to be understood, and he was definitely more mature than some children of the same age. ”

Zhang Xiaobao is actually a little worried, in case Li Xun, a child who is timid to win, does not give full play to his original ability for a while, and really loses, it will be troublesome, and the future plan needs to be adjusted, and the effect will be discounted.

Talking here, that side is about to start, all the children's Rubik's cubes are collected, let the specialized people in the same order to disrupt, and then send it back to everyone, with an order, the little babies are all trying to turn the Rubik's cube in their hands.

Some children are anxious, the harder they work, the slower, Li Xun seems more stable among these people, when he got the Rubik's Cube, he glanced at the others, he felt that he could win this game, the people found at home, pondered together, and easily made two faces, he didn't believe that others could have such a ability.

The two hands were fiddling with the Rubik's Cube there, and the strength of each stroke was just right, never letting the Rubik's Cube get stuck there because of the strength, just two sides of him, a little girl over there shouted directly: "I'm right." ”
