After the first spring rain, it didn't rain for half a month, the weather warmed day by day, and spring planting began for more than half a month, and if it didn't rain again, the paddy fields would suffer.

Shen Zhong's fifty acres of paddy fields, he is naturally anxious, sighing at the sky every day, but the sky is always blue and blue, and the sky is clear. No matter how much you look through it, you can't find half a trace of clouds.

Xiao Xia looked at the sky and sighed, if the crops don't grow well, I don't know how many people are hungry, but she is fed up with the taste of hunger.

Thinking that last year, Fengyun Villa stored a lot of food, and it was safer to put it in his own space, and there was food in the space, so I didn't panic.

So I started to tidy up my space, and I accidentally found two bags of rice seeds, and I was overjoyed at the time. This rice seed is the seed of the 21st century, and its yield is not known to be many times higher than the yield of rice here.

Xiao Xia took about a pound of seeds and found Shen Zhong as soon as possible.

"Dad, it's not a way to do it if it doesn't rain, so hurry up and dig a well while there is no spring planting yet."

"Digging a well?"

"Yes, even if it doesn't rain, we still have a well to use."

"It takes a lot of silver to dig a well!" Shen Zhong frowned, digging a well in the earth, even the landlord's family couldn't afford it, he didn't dare to think about it.

"Don't worry about the silver, look at the seeds of rice! This is given by Fengyun Villa, saying that the yield will be very high, but it is too little, you have to plant it with your heart, don't let others know about it first, this is also the order of Fengyun Villa. ”

Shen Zhong has an extremely deep love for the land, the earth is inseparable from seeds, Shen Zhong can't do anything else, as long as it is the work in the earth, he will be more attentive than others.

Xiao Xia deliberately went to Fengyun Villa, one is to put the rest of the stored grain into the space. The second is to send high-yield rice seeds, and the same explanation is given to Fengyun Villa. There is a bag of space left, in case the trial fails this year, you have to keep some back, this is a very precious thing.

In the following days, it still didn't rain, and Shen Zhong took Xiao Xia's suggestion to dig a well. After digging the well, it is to irrigate the paddy fields, so before the spring planting season, Shen Zhong is already busy with his feet not touching the ground.

Shen Zhong is busy every day and almost can't see the shadow, Xiao Xia is also busy, no one knows what she is busy with all day, in short, she doesn't see anyone all day.

On the last day of April, the morning light did not appear, but the clouds were thick, and a light rain began to fall in the early morning.

On the table of the Shen family's breakfast.

"It's finally raining, so you can rest at home for the day today!" Xiao Wang's belly is already very big, and the people are plump a lot, her face is ruddy, it doesn't rain in the world, she doesn't worry, she asks for a bodhisattva every day, and giving birth to a son is what she is most worried about.

"Okay, let's take a day off today." Shen Zhong was in a good mood and had been looking forward to the rain for more than a month, and it finally fell.

"Xiao Xia, don't go out today, I don't know what you're busy with?"

Listening to her mother's complaints, Xiao Xia put down her chopsticks and looked out the window. "I'll accompany my mother and brother today."

Xiao Xia's words Xiao Wang loves to listen, especially the word 'brother', and strokes his stomach with anticipation.

"Ah......h

"What's wrong?" Hearing Xiao Wang's exclamation, Shen Zhong was nervous.

"It's okay, it's just that the little guy in the stomach suddenly kicked me." Xiao Wang's face was full of happiness and touched his stomach.

"My son is naughty." Shen Zhong laughed.

Xiao Xia sat on the side and watched the interaction of her father and mother, frowning, although everyone in the family expects that this baby will be a male baby, but what if it is a female baby again? Looking at the attitude of the father and mother, they recognized that it was a son in the belly, if they were born as a daughter, what would they do? Xiao Xia suddenly didn't dare to think about it.

Xiao Xia put down her chopsticks, combed her bun today, flowed thin bangs, and pouted her cute mouth, which was very pleasing.

"If my father and mother had a son, they would definitely not want us girls."

When Shen Zhong and his wife heard this, they both laughed, and this girl began to be jealous if she didn't come.

"Don't worry! The three of you will always be good girls for your parents. Xiao Wang hugged Xiao Qiu, who was sitting beside her, and kissed her.

"Then if you have another girl, you won't like it?"

Shen Zhong and his wife were stunned for a moment when they heard this, their faces were a little bad, obviously this was what they were afraid of happening.

"We'll definitely have a brother, but maybe there's another sister before we have a brother!"

Xiao Xia tried his best to give Shen Zhong and his family a reminder first, afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment at that time.

"As long as it's my father's child, we all love it."

After getting this sentence, Xiao Xia was much more relieved, not worried in her heart, and had a sweet smile on her face again.

"My mother is about to give birth, so I have to arrange a midwife as soon as possible."

"What's the hurry? Just bring Dr. Hua when you are about to give birth, and she will deliver all the babies in our village. ”

Xiao Wang's family is not worried at all, the mother-in-law in the village gives birth to babies like this.

"Mother, we are worried about you, don't worry, I will arrange it."

Shen Zhong's breakfast was happy, but Shen Cai in the backing town was full of sadness. Looking at the empty cash box, I was worried.

Tomorrow is the first day of the fifth month, and it is the time for him to give an account to Shen Zhong, but this month's silver has been spent by him, how can there be any silver to Shen Zhong.

Just when Shen Caichou's brows were tightening and his bowels were turning, Shen Nengwen, who had not returned all night, came back humming a little song, carrying a bag of fragrant meat buns in his hand.

"Eat it hot." Shen Nengwen threw the bag on the counter, and walked to the backyard while snorting, planning to go back to make up for sleep after a night's sleep.

"Come here, let me ask you, did you take the ten taels of silver I prepared yesterday?" Shen Cai had actually prepared ten taels of silver yesterday and put it in the money box, which he planned to use to report to Shen Zhong on the first day of the new year.

Shen Nengwen didn't deny it when he heard it, he untied the heavy purse hanging on his waist, poured it on the counter, and rolled out a lot of broken silver, not to mention twenty or thirty taels.

"Where did you get all this money?" Shen Cai looked stunned.

Shen Nengwen didn't know what to say, he pulled half of it and put it back in his money pocket, hung it on his waist, sighed, and turned around to go back to make up for sleep.

Shen Cai scolded the rabbit cub, counted the silver on the counter, just fifteen taels, counted out ten taels and put them in the money box, and put the remaining broken silver into the sleeve, carried the bun, whistled, and went to the tavern not far away.

Called a plate of peanuts, two or two small wine, and went down with the buns, and when I returned to the grain store, the whole person was already dizzy, and I snored on the bamboo chair behind the counter.

The location of the "Golden Jade Full Hall" is good, and after a while, someone came to the door, went around the grain store, and no one came forward to greet them, and the guests looked at it and left.

The morning passed in a few moments, and not a single grain of rice was sold in the store.
