Chapter 405: Spring Drought

If someone said in front of Zhou Jiao that there was a spring drought in the Northeast.

She must have despised the other person's intelligence.

In the Tohoku region, there is a large area of snow in the spring, and there are rivers everywhere. Are these ornaments?

Now she is ashamed of her ignorance.

In Zhou Jiao's imagination, there are major floods, avalanches, and mudslides in the northeast, and drought is not prone to occur. But reality taught her a lesson.

After the New Year, time flies. As the weather warms up and the snow cover decreases, spring farming has become everyone's hope. No matter how tired you are, as long as you think of the joy of harvest, what is the purpose of shoveling the earth?

After two autumn rains last year, there has been no rain, and the old captain is so worried that he can't let go of his long pipe. In particular, I heard that Kannai has been experiencing a constant drought. He walked back and forth around the river bank every day.

As soon as there was a lack of rain in the newspaper, Zhou Jiao's heart tightened. The only consolation is that the water level in the well at home is just low, and it is still clear and drinkable sweet water.

No one in the county pays special attention to the farmers' harvests, and no one notices that the surrounding villages are already planning to drastically reduce the area under rice cultivation this year.

Zhou Jiao took her son and stood in line at the intersection. The small square of tofu makes everyone smile and smile. Huang Juan in front of her sighed in a low voice, she could finally eat fish head tofu soup at night.

Zhou Jiao understood her excitement. Since the beginning of the first month, there have been no soybeans in the grain book, and no one has eaten a mouthful of tofu in the past few months, why are you unhappy?

She squatted down and picked up her son, watching him smile. I have to say that I am really a blessed person. She couldn't imagine how their family would live if there was no space.

Carrying a small piece of tofu she bought, Zhou Jiao followed Huang Juan and walked slowly home.

"Jiaojiao, when will your father-in-law come back this time?"

"They don't worry about a few Xiko, and they should be back in two days. Aunt Juan has something to do with them? ”

Huang Juan smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing." I just want to know where there are many wild vegetables, and I plan to dig some before I go to work. Your mother-in-law has experience in this, but you can't. ”

Zhou Jiao smiled dumbly. She really can't do it, when she went back to the village a few days ago, she didn't see a single wild vegetable around. She knew that there were a lot of them on the mountain, but without Zhang Guoqing by her side, she didn't dare to go.

"I'll tell her when she comes. After a while, the wild vegetables will grow quickly, so don't worry about not being able to dig them. ”

Huang Juan nodded, amused in her heart. The child thought that the wild vegetables were quietly waiting to grow up for people to pick, and they would be gone long after a long time.

Here, Huang Juan turned around and left before she entered the door, and Zhao Yuanyuan ran over on a bicycle.

Zhou Jiao looked at her curiously.

"Let's go first. I'm dying of thirst. After speaking, Zhao Yuanyuan had already pushed the cart into the yard.

In the living room, Zhou Jiao let go of Ping An and let him play by himself. waited until Zhao Yuanyuan poured two bowls of water in a row before she spoke.

"They organized a field trip, let me come and inform you."

Zhou Jiao shook her head, "Xiao Wu still has to go to work, so I won't go." ”

Zhao Yuanyuan stomped her feet and pointed at her anxiously, "You didn't even ask where you were going and said you wouldn't go, did you lack sincerity?" What class does Primary 5 take on weekends? If you don't go this time, you have to go! ”

Ping An was unwilling to be lonely and interjected, "I'm going too." ”

"Well done, baby! Auntie takes you to see the world. ”

Zhou Jiao smiled and shook her head, "It's not suitable for an outing now." I'll talk about it in the summer. ”

"You don't come. I guess your family will return to the capital in the summer. Baby, do you want to go? ”

Ping An looked at her, "I listen to my mother." Auntie, you haven't said where you're going? ”

Zhou Jiao laughed when she heard this. That's true, a bunch of nonsense.

Zhao Yuanyuan stretched out her hand to pinch peace, but he interrupted his hand, and he was not angry, and said happily: "Go to the reservoir, where can I catch fish, how about grilling fish for you to eat?" ”

Ping An didn't have to wait for Zhou Jiao to answer, "Don't go." After saying that, he turned around and ran to play with toys.

Zhou Jiao saw that she was going to pester the child, so she hurriedly grabbed her, "We really don't plan to go over." My godmother and her family came over this weekend, and I had to wait for them at home. ”

Zhao Yuanyuan glared at her fiercely, and after a while, she said faintly: "Then I won't go either, what are the boys doing with me alone." ”

After speaking, he sighed, "I thought I could go out for a walk." ”

Zhou Jiao frowned lightly when she heard this, "What happened?" ”

Zhao Yuanyuan pretended to be ignorant, and her eyes didn't dare to look at her, "What happened." I'm okay with something. It's just that the weather is warm and I want to walk around. ”

Zhou Jiao saw that she didn't want to say, so she didn't ask again. Everyone has privacy, and she doesn't like to get to the bottom of it. Besides, Zhao Yuanyuan has nothing to worry about besides the girl's heart.

After a few idle words, seeing that she was going to have lunch, Zhou Jiaola couldn't hold it back, and Zhao Yuanyuan hurriedly ran away. There was a gust of wind coming and going, and even Zhou Jiao shook his head after seeing Ping'an.

At noon, Zhang Guoqing went home for dinner, but mentioned some information.

Zhao Dashan's hometown urged him to send food.

With Zhao Yuanyuan in saying this, what else is unclear. It seems that Zhao Dashan and his wife do not agree on the same thing, and there are internal contradictions.

Zhang Guoqing looked at Zhou Jiao worriedly. He was really afraid that his daughter-in-law would feel that she owed Zhao Dashan a favor, and she felt that she had a surplus, so she stupidly went to help Zhao Dashan's old family.

Zhou Jiao looked at him speechlessly. Need such an obvious disclosure? I'm not out of my head. Since Zhao Dashan has a surplus, he will send it, his hometown has no rations, what does it have to do with him?

"Do you think I'm the Virgin Mary?"

Zhang Guoqing laughed when he heard this-it's good to have this awareness.

The couple hugged their son and joked. Unexpectedly, the Virgin Mary came.

"Jiaojiao, you can eat these wild vegetables first and see how it goes. If you like it, I'll dig some for you in a few days. You must not go to the wilderness with others, peace is still small, and the wilderness is not safe. Remember, right? ”

Zhou Jiao looked at the basket of wild vegetables sent by Zhang Meili and looked at Zhang Guoqing with a headache. Come on, look at your sister.

Zhang Guoqing looked at the tender wild vegetables in the basket and couldn't help laughing: "Sister, should you leave yourself with old scum, give me all the good ones?" ”

Zhang Meili shook her head proudly, "Find a good place this time." Your second sister and I dug a lot, enough for the three of us to eat. I'll look for it when I don't get to work. ”

Zhang Guoqing was embarrassed when he heard this.

"Eldest sister, don't look for it. On the weekend, I will take a trip to the mountains, and I can have as many dishes as you want, and I can order as many dishes as you want. Every day at work, you have to dig wild vegetables, and you don't see that you have lost weight. ”

Zhou Jiao followed closely and said, "That's it." Sister, you don't have to go to work, so you have a good rest. Don't pay attention to taking care of yourself, if your young body loses too much, you won't be able to raise it back when you are old. ”

Zhang Meili was reluctant to talk to the two children. Besides, she doesn't have to work anymore. People live in the world, they don't do it when they are young, and they can't move when they are old. I still want to work for a few more years to save money for my children.

"I'm leaving. Don't go up the mountain if you have nothing to do, it's dangerous in the mountains. Tell my sister what wild vegetables you want to eat, you just have to take the children with you. Don't go up the mountain if it's okay, do you? ”

Seeing that she was leaving, Ping An walked on his calves, pulled her, and blinked his big eyes, "Auntie, you bow your head." ”

Zhang Meili just wanted to pick him up, but quickly squatted down when she heard this. Unexpectedly, I was stuffed with a toffee in my mouth. Excited, she picked up the child and laughed happily.

Zhang Guoqing and Zhou Jiao looked at each other and smiled. No wonder it is said that children's hearts are the brightest and purest.
