When it rained a few days ago, because the road in the village was flooded, many people's yards were also flooded, and now the weather was clear, everyone came out and began to tidy up the yard.

When he got to the ground, Mu Xiu looked at it, this acre of three-point land is planted with sesame seeds, which have bloomed before the rain, and they were originally going to pinch off these flowers, which is conducive to improving the quality of the sesame seeds that have been produced, but unexpectedly, this heavy rain has basically knocked down the flowers, and the pods containing the seeds are still tightly closed, and the plants have become light yellow, not cracked, but there are a lot of pods scattered on the ground.

"Look at the sesame seeds, they will be ripe in more than 20 days, but fortunately, the rain this time did not cause the grains to be harvested, although there are losses, but it seems that the loss is not big." Mu Xiu saw that there was not much stagnant water in the ground, and knew that Chen Xuhui must have worked hard.

"Well, I didn't expect sesame to be quite resistant to rain, wait for the weather to be sunny again, the road on the ground is good, go to the wasteland and have a look." Chen Xuhui walked into the sesame field and helped up the sesame stalks that had fallen badly.

Originally, Mu Xiu was going to go to the village to see how the rice fields were doing, but looking at the road to the village, the muddy road was so muddy that he couldn't get down, so he gave up, anyway, it wasn't too late for the next two days.

The two of them cleaned up the rocks that had washed into the ground, as well as the snails and beetles that they could see, and then returned home.

On the third day when the rain stopped, the soil on the ground hardened, unlike the other day, when you stepped on a pit, you had to bring a big lump of mud out of your feet.

Mu Xiumu, Xiaocao, Chen Xuhui, and Mu Shui drove an ox cart together to see the situation in the wasteland.

The wasteland is still planted with peanuts, corn, watermelons, sweet potatoes, soybeans and the like, because the terrain is high, the ridges are dug very deep, and the water is not flooded, but the corn stalks are falling badly.

Together, the corn stalks are all straightened and fastened with ropes, and the corn has been tasseled, and corn cobs will soon grow.

A lot of wild grass has grown in the field these days, and because the rain is too heavy, a lot of stones have been washed down from the mountain, everyone has been busy picking up for a day, and in the evening, they are exhausted and return home, and after washing, they all hurry to bed.

The next day, Chen Xuhui and Mu Shui went to the wasteland to pick up first, Zhou Shuilian and Mu Xiaocao as usual, chickens, ducks, geese and pigs were all fed again, trapped by the heavy rain for such a long time, the vegetables planted in the yard were all picked, and the two pheasants that came back from hunting last time were also killed and eaten.

"Xiaocao, let's plant the vegetables quickly." Zhou Shuilian greeted.

"Okay." Mu Xiaocao washed the basin for the chickens, ducks and geese to eat, wiped his hands, and walked to the back of the kitchen.

"Mother, I'll go inside and look at the rice fields." Mu Xiu said hello and went out, she didn't go to Chen Xiangyang's house, but went straight to the field.

Sure enough, on the ridge of Chen Xiangyang's house, I saw him busy.

"Uncle Chen, you're busy." Mu Xiu said hello.

Chen Xiangyang heard Mu Xiu's voice, turned around, and responded, "Mu Xiu, you're here." ”

"Uncle Chen, what's the matter, have the rice fields and fish fry been damaged?" Mu Xiu asked with concern.

"See for yourself." Chen Xiangyang pointed to the ground.

Because the water is relatively large this time, all the rice has been submerged, and although it is exposed after the water goes down, I don't know if there is any soaking, and I need to check it specifically.

"Fortunately, I asked everyone to raise some seedlings, replant them, and harvest these replanted rice more than a month later, so as to minimize losses." Chen Xiangyang paused for a moment, and then said: "Fortunately, the pumping machine you made really played a big role, otherwise not only the rice fields were damaged, but even the fish fry that were hard to get would have to run away with the water, how many people are waiting to see the joke!" ”

Even if it rained heavily, it couldn't stop some people from breaking their mouths, one or two waiting to see a good show, but as soon as Mu Xiu's pumping machine came out, some people who were ready to watch the joke were very disappointed......

Mu Xiu walked to the edge of the rice field, which was digging deep drainage ditches according to what she said, and she began to look for small fish in the rice bushes with concentration.

I saw that in the drainage ditch next to the rice field, there were a lot of small fish, and a large group of small fish swam around in the clear ditch, hiding under the rice to enjoy the coolness, which looked very pleasant.

"Uncle Chen, look, there are really a lot of these little fish." Mu Xiu said to Chen Xiangyang with a smile.

Chen Xiangyang nodded, stood beside him, and watched the small inch-long fish swimming leisurely in the water, much better than the fry he originally thought had run away.

"Whether there is a loss or not, we don't know, this fish is hiding in the water, I don't know what happened, it doesn't seem to run much, we can only wait for the rice harvest to see how much is fished." Chen Xiangyang has a registration of the species and quantity of fish fry.

"Uncle Chen, then relax and take care of it, and wait until autumn, maybe it will be a bumper harvest." Mu Xiu is confident, because even if the harvest of this fish is poor, he can still earn back the fish fry money.

In the days that followed, people of all sizes in the village were busy replenishing seedlings, clearing silt, fertilizing and spraying pesticides.

In the blink of an eye, August has arrived, the rice has begun to produce ears, and the sesame seeds and watermelons of Mu Xiu's family are ripe!

Mu Xiu and the others began to get busy again, looking at the yellow-green sesame pods, everyone sped up, because if the harvest was late, the fruit would explode and fall into the field.

Swinging their sickles, they quickly harvested the seeds, and after they had finished cutting, they bundled the sesame seeds into bundles, took them home, spread clean sheets, and put them to dry in the sun.

When exposed to the sun, the sesame pods will burst open and leak out the sesame seeds, which are then collected together and removed with a dustpan.

Although Mu Xiu was a little disappointed, he thought that the land was not fertile, and it was good to be able to collect some of the heavy rain, after all, in the future, one acre of land is two hundred catties of sesame.

The sesame seeds are dried first, then stored in a cool and ventilated place, and when the grain is handed over in November, they will be taken to the grain station together.

Then there is the harvest of watermelon, the hotter the sweeter the watermelon, a few days ago there was a lot of rain, there is still a certain impact on the sweetness of the watermelon, fortunately, the new variety used by Muxiu, although it is not very sweet, it is also three sweetness more than ordinary watermelon, and the moisture is particularly large.

On the ground, Mu Xiu cut a watermelon, and everyone gathered around, all surprised.

"Why doesn't this watermelon have melon seeds, isn't it ripe?" Chen Xuhui said stunned.
