Chapter 179: Special Circumstances

It's the rainy season, and if it continues to rain, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"You crow's mouth, you can't think of something good."

As soon as Chen Yuanlu's words fell, Meng Shi glanced at him, this person really can't open any pot.

Being so disgusted by the Meng family, in front of Chen Anxia, Chen Yuanlu was a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything in the end.

If he said it, he would probably be scolded to death by Meng.

So forget it.

He didn't want to be scolded.

"Is anyone home?"

As soon as Meng's voice fell, Chen Yuanlu also closed his mouth, and a voice came from outside the courtyard.

The voice was a little familiar, and a little unfamiliar.

Chen Yuanlu was about to get up and look, but there was already a response from the main room, "Yes, they are all at home, you can come in quickly." ”

It was Chen Linghong who responded to outsiders.

Chen Linghong rarely speaks to respond to people, but this time it is rare.

But when Chen Yuanlu stood at the door and stuck out his head and saw the person coming, he also understood.

"Second uncle."

The name of the person who came was Chen Zhengyuan, the second son of the village chief.

Fifty years old this year, according to the seniority, Chen Yuanlu should call his second uncle.

The second uncle came in the rain wearing a hat, and when he heard Chen Yuanlu calling him, he glanced over here, smiled, waved his hand, counted it as a response, and continued to walk towards the hall.

Before he reached the hall, Chen Linghong, who had already been waiting by the door, had already greeted him warmly.

Subsequently, the second uncle Chen Zhengyuan entered the door of the hall under Chen Linghong's warm hospitality, and then entered the inner room, and then the people in the main room said something, and the people outside the house couldn't hear it clearly.

"What is the second uncle doing at our house at this time?"

Seeing Chen Yuanlu turn around and come back, Meng Shi was curious, so he asked.

Chen Yuanlu didn't answer her in a hurry, he sat down in the place he was sitting just now, looked out the window, and then said slowly: "In another one or twenty days, the wheat will begin to gradually mature, probably because of the patrol." ”

The wheat is fully ripe and harvested around the end of April.

But before the wheat is harvested, the wheat will start to turn yellow, and at this time, their village, not only their village, but every village will be busy.

Because as soon as the wheat starts to turn yellow, there will be some people with unclean minds who will come out and steal the wheat.

If you steal wheat, no one will be stupid enough to steal it during the day, after all, once this matter is discovered, no one will care if you are killed.

In order to prevent the wheat from being stolen, almost all the adult men in the village will be assigned to patrol in small teams.

The patrol does not end until all the wheat is harvested and then enters the warehouses of each house.

It's going to take about a month.

With so many people in the village and patrolling for such a long time, the village chief rehearses the patrol team and task arrangement every year in order to reflect fairness and justice.

"But every year in the village, the village chief summons the head of each household to his house for a meeting to discuss, why is it ...... this year?"

"Isn't this year a special situation, the old village chief is about to retire, and he wants to run for the village head, so the old village chief wants to take advantage of this matter to investigate my father, the candidate for village head. I estimate that in addition to examining my grandfather, there will be other candidates for village chief. ”

Meng Shi was puzzled over there, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Anxia, who had been sitting on the side and had not spoken.
