"It's a trick to coax children, and no one breaks the ant's belly to verify it, and even if it is broken, it can't be seen clearly." Lin Huaijin deliberately raised the bar.

"Don't believe it! I didn't coax you, Duo'er believed it, and taught Duo'er a truth, one person's power is limited, and the power of many people will be endless, so a chopstick is easy to break, and a chopstick is difficult to break is the same truth. Lu Caiqing continued to preach.

"Do'er understands! It's just that there is strength in numbers! My aunt doesn't have so many ants every day, what's wrong with today? Li Duoer frowned, left Lu Caiqing's embrace, and continued to squat on the ground and ponder.

Lu Caiqing didn't care, suddenly she flashed her eyes, thinking about Duo'er's words, I remember that the tutor told me that the ants moved because the requirements for the humidity of the ant nest were very high, and they didn't like the living environment that was too wet. The humidity of the air before the rain is high, which will make the nest wet, so the ants will move out of the nest at this time and move their homes to a dry place.

The second is when there is a shortage of food near the nest due to the increase in the number of ant colonies, or when there is a threat to the survival of the ant colony due to the presence of the ant colony.

Could it be that the danger here needs to be shifted, if it is not a big natural environmental disaster, then there must be a big rainfall, so the ants have to pour out of the nest?

But this sunny day, there has been no heavy rain in the whole summer, and it looks like autumn will be harvested in another month and a half, autumn? Thinking of this, Lu Caiqing immediately stood up, turned around and shouted at the courtyard: "Yunge Yunge!" You take care of Duo'er, I'll go to the lotus pond to see! ”

Xia Yunge saw that Sister Cai Qing was in a hurry, so she quickly put down the embroidery needle in her hand and walked out, leading Li Duoer into the courtyard.

Lin Huaijin saw her walking towards the lotus pond in a hurry, so she hurriedly chased after her and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?" Do you have something in mind? ”

"Hmmm! I'm going to find Brother Song! Ant moving is not a trivial matter, which means that there is going to be a heavy rain here, and there is no rain here in the summer, if it is estimated that it will be a rainy day, and the autumn harvest is about to begin, I want to take advantage of the fact that it is not raining to quickly harvest the three acres of wheat in the field, I am afraid that it will be late, and the wheat will be moldy and germinate when it is soaked in rain for a long time. ”

Lin Huaijin listened and asked suspiciously, "Are you sure?" ”

Lu Caiqing replied as he walked: "I'm not sure, but maybe it will be more certain to go to the river!" ”

"But now the wheat is in the growing period, and the leaves are still green, aren't you afraid that the harvest will be early, and there will be no rain in two days? After all, it's still a sunny day. Lin Huaijin was puzzled, not knowing if she was right.

"That's why I have to discuss, I'm not sure what I have to say, let's see what Brother Song says!" Lu Caiqing almost didn't trip over herself because of her hurried steps, but fortunately, Lin Huaijin quickly pulled her.

"Thank you! Brother Lin! It's because I'm too anxious, and the fish in the lotus pond, I'm afraid that the heavy rain will wash the river embankment at the mouth, so can you let Big Brother Bai come and collect the fish tomorrow, so that I will lose less of the rest. ”

Lu Caiqing knows that this lotus pond is not dug by himself, it is built by a river circle, if it rains heavily, then the upstream water will inevitably be very turbulent, and the embankment will not be avoided, I only hope that when Bai Xiaoran comes to collect the fish tomorrow, he will collect more, and it is best to collect them all.

Lin Huaijin heard Lu Caiqing's worries, so he said: "Xiao Ran said that he would come to collect it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, it seems that I will notify him in advance and let him come tomorrow." But are you really sure there will be heavy rain? ”

The two of them walked and said, they came to the lotus pond, Brother Li's two sons, and the three brothers of the Song family were there, seeing Lu Caiqing hurriedly walking towards the river, they all stood in place and wondered, Lu Caiqing looked at the fish in the river pond, her heart became heavier and heavier, and she turned around and said: "I am not sure just now, but now I am eighty percent sure that there will be a heavy rain here, and it is estimated that it will be a rainy day." ”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Huaijin asked curiously: "Why are you so sure?" ”

"Because...... Because I have read in an ancient book, all animals in the world have the ability to perceive, such as the ants just moved, the snakes crawled frequently, and the fish breathed on the surface of the water. The book says that "the fish jump out of the water, and the wind and rain are coming", so I predicted that the wind and rain were coming.

Song Ziyu and Li Qingyuan were both suspicious when they heard this, Lu Caiqing told everyone about the ants Duo'er saw moving, Song Zifei listened to it and shouted: "Sister Caiqing!" When you say that, I remember that I have encountered a lot of snakes today, and there are not so many snakes by the river every day! Could it be that it is really going to rain heavily? That's the end, if it rains and the lotus pond made of earth can't be washed away, then won't all the fish we worked so hard to raise run away? ”

Lin Huaijin listened to it and said decisively: "Don't worry about this, I will send someone to find Xiao Ran, let him prepare people and transportation today, we will come to collect fish early tomorrow morning, I hope God will wait for us!" ”

Lu Caiqing listened, the fish matter was solved, and the three acres of wheat planted in the wasteland have not yet been harvested, if the rainstorm hits, the wheat soaked in the water will be planted in vain, and tell everyone the idea, the Song family brothers did not say a word, and immediately agreed with Lu Caiqing's suggestion, and go back now, although the wheat is growing, it is better than the grain without harvest.

Brother Li and his family also drove the ducks back, Lu Caiqing gave them a holiday and asked them to go back to help harvest wheat and millet rice, and by the way, let Brother Li tell the village chief, let him publicize and say that it was going to rain heavily, hurry up and harvest autumn, and if it is late, there will be no harvest, although it seems ridiculous, but Lu Caiqing is very sure.

The three brothers of the Song family, Lu Caiqing and Yun Ge all sharpened the sickle, and went to harvest the wheat when they went to the field, the green wheat was growing, at the beginning, it was really a little difficult to get started, but for the sake of a bumper harvest, Brother Li and his wife rushed over with a sickle and frowned, and said embarrassedly: "Caiqing!" We went back and said, my mother said...... Said that you want to come out of the day, where does the rain come from on a sunny day, she won't let you accept it, we can only come to you to help! ”

Lu Caiqing listened and was anxious, but after all, there was no weather forecast at this time. When it was uncertain whether there was really rain here, they asked the family to harvest the wheat that was eaten for a year in advance, and no one believed it.

Lu Caiqing asked again: "What did the village chief say?" I guess it will be the same as what Aunt Li said! ”

"At the beginning, the village chief still passed on the word, but the village chief himself confiscated it, and other people's families didn't believe it, and the village chief was bored, so he spread the news, and if he didn't collect it, he couldn't control others."

Lu Caiqing listened, looked back at the four brothers of the Song family and said, "Is it also unwilling for me to let you accept you?" ”

Song Zifei shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Sister Caiqing! I believe in you! According to my observations, these snakes and fish are really abnormal, I look at the fish every day and know their reactions, so I believe you. ”

Song Ziwu saw the third brother's statement, and also said: "Sister-in-law! You have the final say in this family, and we will do what you say! ”

Xia Yunge looked at Lu Caiqing and nodded violently, expressing his agreement with their opinions, Lu Caiqing smiled and said, "Hehe! I can't say if it's really raining or how heavy the rain is, but it's right to harvest in advance, even if it doesn't rain, we finish the work early! ”

Brother Li and his family saw that their Song family was wonderful, and there was no exact information to say that if there was rain, they would listen to this girl, but this girl did have the ability, and he admired her, so since he came, he began to accept it! It is true that there is a lot of strength in numbers, and the wheat is cut in half a day.

While cutting, there are still people to come to see the excitement, this Chenjia Village has really never encountered such a thing in the history, before the time to harvest the wheat, the wheat was cut, this is not to be harvested, being ridiculed and pointed at, the Song family does not care at all.

Early in the morning of the second day, Bai Xiaoran took Liu Fu and the mighty convoy to collect fish, Lin Huaijin still had the foresight, and brought some workers to help, bundled the wheat into bundles, and carried it back to the yard of the house.

Everyone rushed to the lotus pond to catch fish, a group of several people took the fishing net and spilled it out and fished it back, a busy day long, because of the transportation, Liu Fu took the convoy all the way back to Jeju Mansion, Lu Caiqing was also happy, it was good to know a powerful friend.

The two of them contracted a part of the fish in the lotus pond, not to mention, even the carp purchased in the later period were also bought, according to Bai Xiaoran, it was Lin Huaijin who spoke cruelly and let the vendors in the fish market buy it together.

Lu Caiqing knew that no matter whether it was a unified purchase or coercion, his fish was still genuine, anyway, this time it was a special situation, and he could only sell it at a loss.

In the end, the profit is calculated, the nine hundred grass carp and crucian carp in the early stage, plus the one thousand carp in the later stage, the uniform number of grass carp and crucian carp are about three catties, and the unit price is fifteen wen a catty, a total of forty taels, and the price of carp is slightly more expensive, each one is also about three catties, twenty wen a catty, and a total of sixty taels of silver were sold, adding up to one hundred taels of silver.

Lu Caiqing happily held the silver, this is the real income from labor, to say that the silver obtained in the past is a lot, but it is borrowed from the concept of today's people, not the fruits of their own labor, now it is really with their own blood and sweat to grow food, in the thought of the fifteen taels of sweet potatoes planted, as well as the money from selling ducks tomorrow, happy to close his mouth.

After the convoy left, Bai Xiaoran's uncle was left, everyone was working during the day, and they were not in the mood to think about other things, but after dinner, Lu Caiqing's eyelids kept jumping, and I don't know if anything bad will happen.
