Not only did Shen Kan not take the so-called ban of the second master to heart, but many people in the entire second room and even the Shen family had already begun to complain about Shen Jiamo.

People are watching the sky, even if Shen Jiamo claims that Shen Peiwei may unfortunately encounter a small group of widows on the way back to Jinling and disappeared, and the big guy is more convinced that it was Dongting Lake where he personally pushed the second lady down, because the previous explanation is obviously unreasonable and does not conform to his recent personality.

Although this matter was spread in the world, the old man and his wife did not hear about it, and Shen Kan did not feel strange, because the eldest uncle Shen Jiayou or the fourth uncle Shen Jiaji would definitely receive the news and inform his parents immediately.

Things in the world are often so interesting, everyone knows what is going on, but no one takes the initiative to tell the truth, and the whole family is pretending to be deaf and dumb.

In the final analysis, it is taboo that Shen Jiamo, as a father, has the right to punish his daughter who has made a mistake.

Shen Peiwei disappeared from the Shen family in this way, without making a single ripple, and the Shen family was more concerned about an imminent crisis.

Entering the summer, God seemed to be unhappy, and there was no light rain for more than half a month, and the sun hung in the air, like a fire.

In some paddy fields, there was no water, and only the soil was still a little wet, so the villagers successively collected the leaves of the waterwheel and repaired them. If it doesn't rain again, you'll have to rely on rickshaw water.

Even the water town in the south of the Yangtze River can't stand the dry weather, which is related to the harvest of every farmer and landlord.

Shen Kan has never experienced this kind of thing, observing the fields outside every day, this summer's appearance is unusually irritable, the temperature should have reached about forty degrees, making people stick out their tongues like dogs.

Soon the soil in some of the fields dried up overnight, and the dense crevices were exactly the same as the great drought he had seen in later life, and this was Jiangnan.

There is the sound of a waterwheel in front of and behind the village, even in the fields where there is no shortage of water, the seedlings have become depressed, many leaves have been rolled up, and the people in the village are afraid.

Early in the morning, Shen Kan came to the next village, and the sun was shining on his back along the way, feeling a hot stinging pain, and even the soil on the ground was hot.

"It's an anomaly." Shen Kan complained.

As far as the eye can see, the sound of water wheels is everywhere, and the water in the ditches and ponds is desperately being carried to the fields.

Father Li, father and son, stepped on the leaves of the car together, the wheels turned, and the water rolled out of the carriage, rushing downward.

Seeing that there was a vacant seat next to him, Shen Kan stepped on it curiously, holding the beam with both hands.

In less than half an hour, sweat flowed from the top of his head to his heels, and the hot sun grilled the earth like fire, and wisps of green smoke seemed to come out of his mouth, and he almost breathed fire.

His legs gradually felt heavy, and the pedals of the waterwheel were like a rock, and Shen Kan could only step on them desperately.

Because of the excessive force, the soreness under my feet spread to my whole body in bursts, and then rushed to the top of my head.

Shen Kan barely lasted for half an hour, and at this time, it was as uncomfortable as someone holding a knife and cutting flesh and tendons on him, and it was probably just the feeling of running a marathon.

"No more." In the end, Shen Kan, who was dizzy, chose to give up and stopped weakly.

A strong man next to him gritted his teeth and said, "The eldest young master wants it, it's been holding on for so long."

Shen Kan had no strength to respond to him, and collapsed to be helped down by Shen Dazhu, slumping on the ground panting.

How long can a strong person last? After all, people are not machines, and the reason why everyone is desperately persevering is just to feed a family.

Daddy Li in the distance is older, but his physical strength is actually inferior to Shen Kan's, and the water wheel relies entirely on strength.

However, he must not give up, and his sons can only muster up courage because of him, so no matter what, he can't be like Shen Kan.

"Hard, Dong'er......"

From time to time, he reminded his weak second son that he gritted his teeth and stepped hard, and the pain in his body made tears and sweat drip together.

Shen Kanmu looked at them blankly, how comfortable it was to read in comparison.

Finally, at noon, Aunt Li's lunch was delivered, and Sister Tuoyun's blessing was that she could eat dry rice at the critical juncture.

The men around him climbed out of the car in silence one by one, and then sat down on their backs.

Father Li kneaded his thighs vigorously, while Li Dong said to his mother with a sad face: "Mother! Retribution is coming, God is punishing us for selling our sisters. ”

"!" Father Li was pricked in his nerves, and said angrily: "Everyone in the village is suffering, is it all our family's fault?"

Li Dong cried: "But my leg is useless."

Aunt Li hurriedly comforted her son: "It doesn't matter! You eat a little more and call it a day early in the afternoon. You're young, sleep for a night, and you'll be fine. ”

Li Dong was silent, picked up a rice bowl in his hand, and ate it as if he had a grudge.

Seeing this, Shen Kan stood up, turned around and limped back.

Shen Dazhu followed behind him and said, "Aren't you asking for hardship? Anyway, Pei County Ye agreed to rescue Sister Yun'er, why bother to visit her family?"

"I'm just going out for a walk and seeing why you have high hopes for me." Shen Kan said softly, and then smiled wryly, "Now I understand, everyone is lazy, and they can't bear the hardships of farming." ”

"Hey, hey." Shen Dazhu laughed dryly.

…………

The moon poked its head out of the treetops, bringing a silvery gray light to the dark Shenjia Village.

The night is no longer hot, and there is often a breeze blowing in the fields, but the villagers who used to be lively and lively to enjoy the cool are only a few women and a group of children.

The men of the village all took advantage of the cool night to step up their work, and the sound of traffic in all directions, mixed with the chirping of insects, was like a moving song.

Shen Kan was not idle, and was giving his pumpkin field a car......

Before you know it, the moon rises from the treetops to the tops of the trees, gradually sets to the west, and the fields slowly fall silent.

At this time, Shen Kan was reciting the book, and the sound of reading was drifting away with the wind......

Until the east has floated with white clouds with fish belly, and several of the brightest stars are still flashing in the sky.

The rooster crowed twice, and the tired Shen Kan heard someone talking outside.

"Son, get up!"

“……”

"Get up! Son, get up!"

"Dad, it's not dawn yet, let me sleep for a while."

"It's dawn, let's go."

"I just fell asleep, my whole body hurts, why is it dawn? Woo......"

"Get up, get up."

“……”

"Get up, you brute!"

"......, got it."

Similar conversations seemed to come and go, Shen Kan rubbed his eyes and walked out.

When the day dawned, the sons carried their hoes with annoyance, followed in the footsteps of their fathers, and dragged them step by step to the field.

The morning breeze swept quickly through the fields, and the oily green crops set off layers of waves, and Shen Kan felt the coolness of the early morning.

I don't know when, Shen Jiaji stood beside him, frowned, and said, "If it doesn't rain again, it's really troublesome."

"yes." Shen Kan said that he had racked his brains all night last night, and he couldn't think of any way at all.

It's not that there is no way, sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, Shen Gui's father and son are running around for this, but far water can't quench their thirst, let alone how to cultivate, breed, promote, etc.?

Suddenly, Shen Jiaji patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I made you feel wronged this time, well done!" The old man was very relieved when he heard this, and praised our Shen family for finally having a child who dared to be. ”

"It should." Shen Kan's smile became brighter.

Shen Jiaji sighed: "Thanks to you, this matter is really tricky. Forget it, Pei Wei is safe and sound. ”

"Hmm." Shen Kan nodded, he could understand the distress of the elders.

As soon as the incident happened that day, he didn't think about asking for help from his family, in addition to breaking out into a bigger conflict, could the old man still forcibly keep his granddaughter by his side?

Besides, once there are too many people, it is a matter of family reputation, and it is impossible to say whether they will turn to support Shen Jiamo.

Shen Kan remembered something and took the opportunity to say: "Fourth uncle, look at my hands, they are like pig's trotters, don't you feel distressed?"

"It's not distressing, it's not distressing at all." Shen Jiaji smiled.

"Then you have to give some reward, and the rewards and punishments are clear to be fair."

"What reward? Let's talk about it first. ”

"I don't want anything, I just want to buy a few maids."

"Maid?"

Shen Jiamo narrowed his eyes and squinted at his nephew, as if he was looking at another gentleman.
