It was almost May 20, and I slept until midnight on this day, when suddenly thunder began to blow outside, and the whole village woke up and hurried outside to look.

There was no rain after a long period of thunder, and many people began to shout, "God, don't be like this, it doesn't rain when it thunders, isn't this teasing everyone?" ”

In the middle of the night, everyone didn't want to go back to sleep, they just wanted to see if it was raining, and after a long time, the rain finally fell, everyone was very happy, and Siqi was also relieved.

"Grandpa, if it rains heavily tonight, it will be almost the same tomorrow in the field, we have to hurry up and plant sweet potatoes, that thing is drought tolerant, even if there is less rain after that, the impact is not too big, that is, it has to rain thoroughly when it is just planted."

Lin Dezheng responded with a smile, "Okay, well, I hope it will rain a little more tonight, and tomorrow we will hurry up and work in the fields." ”

At this time, the weather is already very hot, it rains in the evening, and the road surface can be dry in the morning, and if you bask in the sun for another day, the surface of the ground that has been soaked hard will be hard.

Siqi used to hate the rain in the middle of the night, which made her unable to sleep, but today she feels very relieved to listen to the sound of the rain, and she sleeps more sweetly.

After the children slept soundly, the adults did not fall asleep, and listened to the movement outside, wondering if the rain was getting too much.

Although the rain was not too heavy, it had been raining for a long time, and it did not stop until morning, and the ground was almost watered to such an extent.

The sweet potato vines have already been initiated, and the next day everyone went to the ground together, and cut the sweet potato vines into sections with thin roots according to Siqi's meaning.

Two people stay here to cut the vines, and the others go to the fields that have been prepared long ago, and the sweet potatoes need to be planted into ridges first, and the sweet potatoes are planted on the ridges, so that the rain will not spoil the sweet potatoes, and it is more convenient to grow, and the harvest is better.

If these methods were not taught by Siqi, everyone would not have been able to do so, and even if they got sweet potatoes, it would take many years to explore this method of planting.

The rest of the people in the village are about to start harvesting the crops that should be harvested in April at this time, and the Lin family has already harvested them early, and the most important thing for them at this time is to plant sweet potatoes, if these red vines are cut a little, they are almost enough to plant five acres of land.

This has to save some, don't waste it, now more than one plant, in the future harvest will have to harvest a lot of sweet potatoes.

This year, the Lin family is really weird, every time the work is different from other people's homes, many people in the village are very curious, they don't know what their family is doing.

This time, I want to plant several acres of sweet potatoes, and those vines are planted directly into the soil, looking like they are going to die, and I feel useless.

Everyone couldn't understand it, and some people were curious, so they pulled the people of the Lin family and asked, "Auntie, what are you planting here?" Where did you get this thing, just plant it in the soil, what can you collect and come out? ”

"This year's year is not good, don't come blindly, there will be no food to eat at that time, everyone has to take care of themselves, we can't help even if we want to."

Liu smiled, "Don't worry, each family takes care of each family, this year's year is not good, and the grain harvest is poor, so I thought of some new methods, maybe I can fill my stomach by then." ”

When the man heard this, he thought that they were going to eat these vines directly, but they didn't know what they were, and they were not afraid of poisoning them if they ate them directly into their stomachs?

The man shook his head, "Hey, anyway, I persuaded you, no one can say anything if you have to do this, this is your own family land, so many acres of land, just use it to plant these things, it's really a waste of things, this is still a few good plots of land, what is not good to plant." ”

There are a lot of people who come to persuade them, and at this time, the Lin family has nothing to hide from everyone, and some people asked about planting longevity fruits in the past, but they couldn't say it directly, because they were afraid that the seeds that their family had found with great difficulty would be taken away, and they wanted to make a sum of money in advance.

This time it's different, it's a life-saving thing, and they just said it, but everyone didn't believe it, looking at the vines on those few acres of land, what use could this be? No one can figure it out.

By this time, the work in the fields is almost done, and in the second half of the year, you only need to take care of it, wait for the rice harvest in July, and then you have to free up the fields and plant the next season of rapeseed or something.

This year, the Lin family planted a lot of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, which have to be managed well, and there has always been a lot of work in the field, but it is really busy.

It hasn't rained since that rain, and the water in the two weir ponds in the village is decreasing, and the weather is hotter than in previous years, and the water in the well is much shallower.

Every family is not comfortable, the weather is so hot, if in previous years you can get some water to pour in your own yard to enjoy the cool, this year is really reluctant, the water in the weir pond is so shallow that the laundry is not easy to wash.

In previous years, water would be released into the seedling fields in June, but this year, where will there be water? The fields were already very dry, and looking like that, they didn't dare to affect the harvest, so they could only carry water to the fields.

The Lin family is naturally no exception, several fields of the Lin family are relatively close to the entrance of the village, and it is much closer to carry water from the big weir pond, but because their family has a weir pond, they are embarrassed to pick up water from the big weir pond, Lin Changfu and Lin Changyuan carry buckets from the village to the village every day to water the ground.

There are also two fields around the weir pond above, and the others are someone else's.

Those people's fields were close, so they wanted to pick up water from their weir pond, but it was hard to say, so they came up with an idea, saying that they would pick water from them to water the land, and the Lin family could pick up the big weir pond in the few fields below, which could be regarded as returning to their family.

Lin Changfu felt that it was nothing, so he casually agreed, and let people pick up water from their own weir pond first, and when they picked up water from the big weir pond below, some people jumped out and cursed, saying that their Lin family had no conscience, and their own family occupied a weir pond, and they had to grab water from everyone, which was really hateful.

Those words are really ugly, and in this difficult time, the ugliness of human nature is also exposed, and everyone takes care of themselves.

When the Lin family was scolded, the two families before also heard it, but they didn't say anything, didn't they stand up and be scolded together at this time?

And I also have selfish intentions, the water in the left and right Linjiayan ponds has already been picked, so if they don't pick the bottom, wouldn't they be able to save more water?

Wu also figured it out, this matter should be regarded as a loss for her family, she said her own people, let them stop carrying water, even if it is in the past.

It's so hot that there's no need to worry about yourself.
