Chapter 117: It hurts to look at
Star fruit has been in Yangjia Village for so long, except for a few light rains in summer, I have not felt the modern downpour-like rainy days.
It's the busy farming season, and if it rains heavily, the millet and soybeans in the fields won't all be flooded.
It is not surprising that if it rains one day, the weather will be clear, but if it rains for a day or two, the millet and beans soaked in the water will sprout and mold, and the harvest of the year will not be in vain, and even the year's land tax will not be paid.
She suddenly got up and ran back into the house, and asked her father, "Daddy, do you think anyone here will predict the weather?" ”
Yang Junshan was sitting on the kang and watching Meizi write, he was startled by the surprised appearance of the star fruit, he was a little puzzled and said, "Peach, what's wrong, why do you ask like this." ”
Sitting on the edge of the kang, the star fruit said, "I thought, if we usually dry the beans and millet in the field for a few days after we finish cutting, and then transport them to the threshing floor, what if it suddenly rains?" I wanted to ask if there is an old saying, or an old man who can look at the weather, can predict when it will rain. ”
"As the old saying goes, there is thunder in February, thieves are everywhere, and swallows build nests to ......"
Yang Junshan was still thinking desperately, star fruit was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Daddy, have you ever heard of ants moving snake aisles, there will be heavy rain tomorrow." ”
"Are the ants moving? Second sister, when I was playing in the yard in the afternoon, I saw swarms of ants moving. ”
Yang Junshan said a little solemnly: "You mean, there will be heavy rain tomorrow, where did you hear it, if it doesn't rain, we won't worry in vain." ”
"If it rains, then our year's hard food is not lost to the ground in vain, it is better to prevent trouble before it happens, than to harvest nothing, and I saw this old saying in a book, and what is written in a book must be true."
As soon as Yang Junshan heard that his daughter said that she saw it in a book, he immediately became nervous, and hurriedly said: "What can I do, the heavy rain will fall, so even if you use umbrella cloth, you have to pile them up first." ”
After saying that, he struggled a few times, and star fruit knew that his father was in a hurry, so he quickly helped him sit down, and said: "Dad, don't worry, I promise that I won't be able to go down tomorrow, we still have time to pile up, you don't care, I'll figure it out myself." ”
Yang Junshan couldn't help it even if he was in a hurry, and finally said: "Peach, no matter whether the old saying is accurate or not, remember to tell the village chief this old saying, as well as your Uncle Hua and Uncle Li, as for believing it or not, we have this heart, and the consequences depend on God's creation." ”
When the star fruit heard this, she quickly pulled the plum as a companion and ran to the village chief's house to tell her thoughts, and the village chief and his wife were skeptical, after all, there had been no heavy rain for several years.
But because he has the responsibility of the entire Yangjia Village, even if it is groundless, it must be conveyed to every household, and it is up to the individual to believe it or not.
Before dawn on the second day, when the star fruit came to the field with the plums, he couldn't see far, so he could only take care of his own millet first, and he couldn't help worrying.
When it was almost dawn, I didn't see my grandmother and second aunt come to pile up, and I felt a little sweaty for them, but now they are squandering money, they must not care about these grains, forget it, it is going to rain and the mother wants to get married, so let's take care of myself first.
Fortunately, the brothers and sisters of the Fang family and Uncle Li believed that they had come to help, and a high pile of millet and a pile of beans rose out of thin air, and finally they fanned the umbrella cloth, and everyone helped each other, and they all piled up high grain stacks.
Some villagers have been watching the excitement and talking about the star fruit is a bit demagogic, but at noon, the sky is full of dark clouds, at this time they can't believe it, they are busy starting to pile up, fortunately you help me, I help you before dark everyone is almost stacked.
When the star fruit went home, he was tired and exhausted, and went back to tell his father that when his grandmother and second uncle's house were not piled up, Yang Junshan seemed a little calm, without the anxiety he had before, it seemed that his father had now let go and no longer valued their faces so much, so it was good, the mood was relaxed, and it was beneficial to the condition.
Sure enough, at night, it rained in the sky, no wind and no waves, the light rain was very stable, although it was not a heavy rain, but it could be regarded as a torrential rain when it rained.
It rained for three days and three nights, and on the fourth day, the sky cleared.
Everyone talked and laughed when they arrived in the field, and they all praised the star fruit for its ability to predict, and the star fruit said while working: "I saw it in the book, and the old saying is that the ants move the snake aisle, and there will be heavy rain tomorrow." ”
Some people pricked up their ears to listen, laughing and teasing: "We remember, if we encounter such a phenomenon in the future, we must prepare in advance." ”
Just when everyone was giggling, Yang Tian took Zhou Fengzhen to the ground, watching the golden ears of millet fall into the soil, wet, and then look at the soybeans soaked in water that have sent out twice the size of the beans to break the bean clip, her face was full of anger, and she looked left and right at the plates of other people's grain stacks, and they were dry and did not get rained at all.
She was angry, came to the field of star fruit, stretched out her hand and pushed her, "It's all you, a little slut, other people's families have been notified, why is our family not notified, you thief, are you jealous of us, so you deliberately make it bad." ”
As soon as everyone saw Yang Tian's coming to sprinkle and let loose again, they stepped forward one after another, not only because of the reminder of star fruit to save them from losses, but also because they couldn't get used to Yang Tian's face, they lived so much age, and they pushed and shoved a child so unscrupulously.
"Mother-in-law Yang, what are you doing here? Other people's children recruit you or provoke you. ”
Zhou Fengzhen stepped forward, protected her mother-in-law, and angrily scolded everyone: "This is our Yang family's family affairs, look at your changing mouths one by one, who swore to her a few days ago to go to her for comment, and gave a few dollars to block your mouth, it's really shameless." ”
Some villagers took the compensation for peaches, their faces were a little unbearable, and they replied: "Who do you say is shameless, your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are shameless, we all know that it is going to rain, and every household has fanned the grain stacks. ”
"We are...... It's to go to the town to eat, my second child is now out of business, and he is doing business in partnership with the boss of the town, and now he is something that you little people can't climb. ”
"No wonder, when your little carriage turned, what I knew was that the second child was doing business in the town, and I didn't know that I thought he drove the carriage to meet his little lover every day."
Zhou Fengzhen didn't want to hear others say that her man was rich and bad, she pointed to the little daughter-in-law who was talking in the crowd and shouted: "Who, who dares to stand up and say it again." ”
The star fruit was pushed by the grandmother, not prepared, and suddenly fell on the bean stubble, the buttocks hurt, and the hand was in a hurry just on the other stubble, fortunately, wearing thick pants, did not pierce the buttocks, but the palms suffered, and the small red dots were covered with a flesh skin turned outside, and it hurt to look at it.
