"Forget it, this will, everyone is busy with spring ploughing, where is there time to hang out? I'm not the same as yours. Ziqing said.

"No, there is still a lot of rain this year, I'm afraid they won't be allowed to go out, Qing'er is the fifth child, and it's different from Yu'er." Shen pondered for a moment, and this is also the meaning.

There has been a lot of rain this year, and it has been dripping since the beginning of the year, and it is estimated that if this continues, the wheat output will inevitably decrease. Fortunately, the early rice has been planted, and the impact is not big for the time being, but it can't stand the end of the day. Families are busy draining the stagnant water in the fields, how can they have time to visit the door?

Ziyu listened and said: "No, this year's rain is heavy, I heard Xianggong say that there are places outside where the rain is particularly heavy, and there are flooded villages, let's do it, it's okay." I heard from my husband and mother-in-law that this year's rice grain guarantee is not allowed to increase in price, so let me prepare more. ”

Ziqing's heart went up and down as soon as she heard it, Lin Kangping was still running outside, in case of a flood, how could he come back?

Shen listened and hurriedly asked Ziqing's family how much food she still had, she also had to prepare to buy some, as well as Chen's restaurant, she also had to prepare more, and worried about Zifu, he was in charge of rice and water conservancy, if he encountered a major famine, if he didn't handle it well, he would be affected, and his achievements in the past few years would be in vain.

Shen Shi saw that Ziqing was in a trance, and thought that he was tired, so he hurriedly took Ziyu to say goodbye, Ziqing didn't have the heart to stay, and hurriedly called Lin Wang to inquire about the situation outside.

It's been a good year for years. Ziqing forgot that there was already a flood-prone area in the south. First arrange for Lin Wang to go to Zhuangzi to check whether the drainage ditch is blocked, and the drainage ditch in Qingyuan should also be deepened as a precaution.

After arranging all this, Ziqing explained that it must be completed as soon as possible in the shortest possible time. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, and he was afraid that something was missing, so he instructed Lin An to discuss with several big foremen in Zhuangzi. I just gave up.

In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of the fifth month, the full moon day of Yanran, Lin Kangping did not go home, as soon as the Dragon Boat Festival arrived, Lin Kangping still did not enter the house, Ziqing was a little panicked, this is a phenomenon that has never been seen. Except for that time, Lin Kangping went home seriously injured because of saving people.

Now there are rumors of floods in various places, and several low-lying families in the village have been flooded, and the wheat is soaked in the water, and it is barely harvested, and it has to be spread out in the house to dry. Ziqing is better, she burned the kang and the kang and dried them slowly, and the loss was not very big.

On the sixth day of junior high school, after breakfast, and just sent the two children to the school, Xiaobai led Qiuyu to the door, huffing angrily, as if someone had offended her.

"Holy. Seeing that it was raining, I was so annoyed that I couldn't even go out of the door. Before Qiu Yuren came in, he heard her complaining.

"Sister-in-law, don't complain, I just gave birth. I can't go out, Kangping is not at home, and I don't even have anyone to talk to, I'm more annoyed than you. ”

"Ah, I just saw that your stomach was gone, why didn't you send a letter to my sister-in-law? I was also confused by your aunt and your grandmother these days, forgetting that you should have a baby, when did you give birth? Male or female? ”

"Huh, guess?"

"Look at your smiling appearance, needless to say, you're also a girl, congratulations, you finally got your wish."

"By the way, sister-in-law, when you first entered the door, you were angry, who provoked you again?" Ziqing was also bored and wanted to pull Qiuyu to talk.

"Who else? Your aunt. By the way, I haven't been to see your father, how is your father's health? ”

"It's much better, I can go to the school to give a lecture, but my spirit is not very good."

"That's good, I want to see it, but I'm afraid your father will not be happy to see us. When I was Qingming, I heard your father say that it was also a sacrifice from each family, and he didn't see your father. Hey, since your grandfather left, nothing has gone smoothly. Qiu Yu sighed.

"By the way, how is Mumu's exam? Has the government tried it? ”

Originally, he didn't want to study, he said he wanted to learn medicine, so he could see a doctor for your second aunt. If it weren't for the bad weather, your second aunt would have come over by herself. Qiu Yu said.

"Where is the urgency at this time, how is my second aunt's body?"

"She's better, raised these days, but your grandma, useless, I look at her now with your aunt, but it's really a sin, it's so pitiful, I haven't been there for a day, your grandma can't eat a mouthful of hot food, but people can't move, and it's not good to talk, I think your aunt is deliberate, and she clearly doesn't want to serve your grandma, I think she is like this, can she find a good daughter-in-law to serve her in the future? This man does things with retribution. Qiu Yu said indignantly, in her opinion, Tian's this can be regarded as retribution, right?

Ziqing really didn't know about Tian's affairs, and she basically didn't mention it at home, so this Qiuyu came, and when she heard that Tian's was paralyzed again, Ziqing was really a little surprised.

Qiu Yu told Tian how Zhou told Tian about Ermao with great fanfare, how Tian fainted after hearing it, and couldn't move his whole body when he woke up, and he had been stuck with acupuncture for a few months, so that the left side of his body could move, and he still had to be fed by someone to eat, and he spent a lot of silver, and Zhou was also complaining about seeing the sky, but these days, Qiu Yu passed every day, and Ziquan was also at home, and Zhou had to make an appearance to serve, and things developed like this, Zhou also regretted it, but she really let her personally hurt Tian, Zhou still didn't dare, She was afraid of retribution, and she didn't let her go for fear that the Tian family would be a ghost. As for her reporting to Tian, she has always said to herself that she was unintentional.

Ziqing listened and was concentrating, Qiu Yu saw that Ziqing did not answer, and said: "It's not just that, your aunt knows that your grandma loves to eat some fine grains, and the coarse grains can't be swallowed at all, but I didn't go for a day, she fed your grandma coarse grains, I got angry with her a few times, guess what she said: 'Qiu Yu, you also know this year's New Year, the wheat has not come up, the price of grain has risen a lot, your eldest brother has been idle at home, and there is no entry, you say, next year Ziquan will go to the exam, but you must prepare more silver, although the family has a few money, I don't dare to spend money blindly, and I have to keep it for my son to marry a daughter-in-law. How can I have extra money to buy fine grain for my mother? 'Listen, how much can an old man eat her?' It's a shame that your grandma has been biased towards her. ”

Ziqing guessed that the reason for Zhou's dissatisfaction was probably that he knew that Tian still had some silver taels in his hand, but Tian didn't hand it over, so he must have left a way back for himself because he was not at ease with Zhou.

"Ziquan is still at home? Haven't gone to the county school yet? ”

"What will this go? It's a holiday in a few days, and I'll go after the summer harvest, I heard Mu Mu say that he is not even as good as Xiaowen, where can he be admitted? It's not playing with silver, but your aunt still thinks that her child is that piece of material? said that they are all surnamed Zeng, his family is still the eldest grandson of the long house, how many can he compare to Zifu? What a joke. I want to see, Ziquan can't even pass the county test, what will she blow away? ”

Ziqing really believes this, Ziquan is really not a reading material, he is slow to respond, and he can't work hard, but in the eyes of his parents, especially in the eyes of a shallow mother like Zhou, the child has no shortcomings.

Before Ziqing could answer, Qiu Yu said again: "By the way, speaking of Ziquan, do you know that Simao has left home again?" ”

"Ah, Simao left home? We really don't know, isn't it so easy to come back? How did you think of leaving? ”

"It's not your aunt and them, Ermao will be no different from a living dead in the future, his wife threw the child to your aunt, sold the house and land by herself, rolled up the silver and ran away, the Hongxiu of Sanmao's family also took the child home, waiting for your aunt to feed, Osmanthus also has a house left, and there is nothing else left, so I can only go back to my parents' house with a big belly. Your aunt couldn't do it, so she had to go to Simao, and Simao was so entangled that she couldn't do it, so she gave the shop to your aunt and went out again. What can he do if he doesn't go out? In this Anzhou Mansion, he can't even say that he is the daughter of a good family now. Qiu Yu sighed.

Simao's situation is a bit like Zeng Ruixiang back then, this big family, Da Mao's family heard that it was avoided, leaving a group of women and children in the family, waiting for him to feed one by one, but it is a pity that the Yan family's good bamboo shoots did not grow in the right place.

As soon as Qiu Yu left, Shen came and wanted to borrow Ziqing's kang to dry the wheat, Ziqing told Qiu Yu what happened just now, Shen sneered and said: "Your sister-in-law is really right when she says something, isn't it retribution?" Your aunt is deliberate, and this time she also lifted a stone and hit her own feet, and she should be able to wait to send your grandma away as before, and in the future, she will wait slowly. ”

Ziqing thought that filial piety in ancient times was really restrictive, no matter how reluctant Zhou was and how unpleasant Tian was, he couldn't get rid of her by his own will, because Tian had no way out.

"By the way, I think this year's peach and watermelon production will be greatly reduced, especially watermelon, the weather is not sunny, I am afraid that it will be rotten in the ground, and there is more rain, melons and fruits are not sweet, and they cannot be sold at a good price." Shen suddenly changed the subject.

Over the years, watermelon, corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes have been promoted locally, and the price is naturally much worse, but fortunately, Ziqing does not point to this item.

The mother and daughter talked for a while, asked a few more words when Lin Kangping would come back, and told Ziqing a few words, and Shen went back.

On the eighth day of the fifth month, the rain finally stopped, and on the tenth day of the first month, the sky was clear, and everyone was full of joy on their faces, and they were busy drying quilts, clothes, and wheat. Ziqing looked at the sun outside and thought where Lin Kangping should be? (To be continued.)
