204 Backburn Skylight

No matter how terrible things are, they can slowly fade over time, and in the case of Dongshan Temple, in the end, Lily and Li Caifeng have not been substantially harmed, and after a long time, they will slowly return to normal.

However, two groups of people heard about this and had different reactions. Chen Bin said to Xue Niang: "Usually I look at the one in Song Haonian's family who is an ordinary woman, and I don't want to have such vision and impatience. ”

Xue Niang said: "If she was younger, I would accept her as an apprentice, and she might have some future in the future, but now it looks like a waste of her intelligence." ”

"Haha, you are willing to accept apprentices, but I'm afraid that people will not be willing to apprentice. "These two people are called husband and concubine, but in fact, there is a layer of relationship, they are superiors and subordinates, and they are not like ordinary couples when they speak.

Xue Niang snorted coldly: "Being my apprentice is her luck!"

After speaking, she was also stunned, she was very capable, and she was also quite famous in Ti Qi, but she had to be a concubine for Chen Bin, that Li Lihe's ability was 108,000 miles behind her, and it was just a matter of marrying an ordinary farmer to live a loving life, but this farmer was very unusual

This person's luck is really hard to say.

Then there were the people from Rose Manor, in the end, they still put two spies in the county, and when they heard about it and reported it back, Steward Lu's vigilance relaxed a little more: "In the end, it is the person who is riding on the horse, such a thing can be done casually, and there is no trace of wind in advance." ”

A subordinate asked: "In this case, the manpower of Taiping County was withdrawn?"

Steward Lu pondered for a moment and said, "Don't withdraw yet." Taiping County is a small place, and it's strange that Tiqi sent people there, and they also made a person with that look, and I don't know what his intentions are."

"Don't delay what you were asked to check before, find out as soon as possible. Steward Lu finally made up his mind.

"Yes!"

How these people react and how many games there are, Song Haonian doesn't know, he only guards his small home every day, gets up in the morning to make tofu to buy, and then goes home to take care of the flower fields and vegetable fields, has a daughter-in-law to cook three meals a day, and hugs his daughter-in-law at night to make love

Immortal.

How do you know that there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and the things in this world are full of joy and sorrow.

Since March, it has not rained in the sky, and several times I have watched the dark clouds gather, the thunder is faint, and it looks like it is going to rain.

They farmers are most afraid of this, and while praying in their hearts for rain, they carry water from the river to ensure the water supply of vegetable and flower fields.

Thanks to the fact that the field is next to the Baishui River, it is not a toss to go back and forth, Song Haonian heard the old man say that a few years ago, when the weather was bad, when the drought and locust plague occurred together, many places fought for water, and killed people.

Because of the Baishui River in Qingliu Town, the big families in the town have a good reputation like Liufu, but they have never made such a fuss, and there are no less deaths in other places.

Lily didn't expect to plant flowers in the first year, and put in a lot of savings, but she encountered bad weather that she hadn't seen for many years, and her heart was so anxious that she couldn't do it, her mouth was blistering, red, swollen and painful, and she couldn't eat anything except white porridge.

Song Haonian was more worried about her than about Huatian, he said: "Even if these flower seedlings are all lost this year, our family can't reach the point of poverty, I have lived a hard life, we can survive when there is nothing, and now it's just a temporary difficulty, what's it?"

Lily laughed and helpless: "Life is just a little better, you don't take it seriously." ”

Song Haonian said: "No matter how much money you make, if your body is broken, what's the fun?"

Lily was also moved when she heard his words, but she had a hard life as a child, and she had no savings in her heart, and when she had savings, she wanted to earn more, but she didn't listen to Song Haonian's words much, and she was still anxious.

Song Haonian had no choice, so he had to run to the flower field three times a day, and the people were dark, so as to keep the flower seedlings growing luxuriantly.

In April, the rain still couldn't fall, not only them, but also other people in the town were panicked, and some people swore that the Bodhisattva of Dongshan Temple was originally effective, and those monks were also thoughtful, but they were afraid that the government would anger the Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva would be guilty.

Encountering this kind of rumor, the county order not only lamented the ignorance of the villagers, but also had to think of ways to appease the people, and in the end he sacrificed the dragon king in person.

The legend of the dragon king offered by Taiping County is the general at the time of the founding of the country, it is said that after their death, the grandfather himself wrote the gods, so he is the god recognized by the imperial court, not the obscenity that coaxes the villagers and coerces the public opinion.

The county ordered the sacrifice of the dragon king, and each town sent the pig's head and other sacrifices, beating gongs and drums to sacrifice a scene, dancing the god dance and writing a rain table, and using the golden dragon to tie the table written on the jade plate and throw it into the river, so that the gods could see it.

Two days later, there was a light rain, and everyone cheered and said that the drought was over. Unexpectedly, since that day, the weather has not moved, no matter how the villagers toss, it only does not rain.

In the future, if there is anything to say about the Dongshan Temple, the county order will arrest people on the charge of confusing the public with evil words, and the county order will not dare to delay, write an official document and go up to the province to report the drought.

The only consolation is that in the past two years, the number of people growing potatoes and sweet potatoes in Taiping County has gradually increased, and with these two things, it is unlikely that people will starve to death.

In addition, the wind and rain in this place have been smooth for many years, and most of the villagers have a small surplus at home, and this year's harvest is at most poor, as long as it is well managed, it will not be chaotic for the time being.

As soon as the official document was reported, the province also became nervous and immediately reported to Beijing. It has not been many years since the war was settled, and now the life of the people is getting better and better.

The farmers in the countryside did not know that even the emperor on the clouds was worried about them, and they were still trying their best to keep the harvest of this season.

The waterwheel was extremely laborious to build, but there were two of them on the grange in Liufu, which kept fetching water from the Baishui River day and night and watering it into the farmland, and the rest of the families mostly relied on manpower.

Song Haonian and Wang Yongxing picked up 180 loads of water a day, and their shoulders were red and swollen, but they still couldn't supply the water consumption. Seeing that it was really not a way to go on like this, Lily dragged a few large bamboos from the mountains to make a diversion canal.

However, this is also troublesome, the flower field is two feet higher than the river, and the water flows to a lower place, so it is really a big problem to let the river water irrigate the flower field.

The problem of irrigation has not been solved, and something happened in the flower field before the roses budded, and a small insect was born, commonly known as "drought worm" in the countryside, this kind of insect can appear most in the drought, but it can gnaw away the young leaves of the flower seedlings in one or two days, leaving only the bare poles.

When the lily went to the flower field and turned over the rose leaves, she saw a layer of gray insect eggs on the leaves, which made people shiver all over the body and shivered with goosebumps.

Drought insects are specially born when there is little rain and eat seedlings, which is more urgent than irrigation. If left unchecked, it won't be long before all the seedlings will die, or the dry insects will gnaw on them.

The lily's heart was so scorched that it seemed like a fire was burning, and the ashes of the stove were mixed with water and sprinkled on the flower seedlings. A few days ago, everyone watered the flowers, but they only watered the roots, but they didn't pay much attention to the leaves, so that today's disaster was caused.

Speaking of the gray water of the stove, it was really useful, and when it was splashed on the flowers and leaves, it was not long before the dry insects curled up in a ball and died, crackling and falling. Lily put the chickens in the flower field and told them to catch insects and eat them, so as to control the attack of insects.

Stove ash and chickens are just a temporary way to make up the numbers when there is no way, and if you really want to keep these flower seedlings, the most important thing is to provide water.

Lily can't hide it now, and can't wait to free up all the memories of her previous life in her mind to see if she can use it, but she can't do it well for a while.

The waterwheel is difficult to build, she first thought of using a pulley to lift water from the Baishui River to a high place, and then using a bamboo pipe to guide it into the ground, the idea is very good, but the pulley is difficult to build, and the second is that the frame is difficult to build, and it is not as convenient as people to carry water.

When encountering such a day, the young husband and wife, together with Wang Yongxing and his wife and Song Ermei, carried water day and night to water the fields, and they were ten times more tired than usual.

Lily was full of anxiety, she had no appetite for several days, this day Song Haonian persuaded her to eat more, she suddenly sighed to Song Haonian: "Do you say that I am too greedy, God deliberately punished me?"

"What did God punish you for?" Song Haonian said in his heart, how many dirty bastard seeds he didn't penalize, "This drought is a drought in several counties, how can I punish so many people for you." ”

Lily was a little depressed: "If it weren't for my greed, I had to plant these acres of roses, we wouldn't have to work so hard this year, and we wouldn't have to worry about losing money." ”

The cost of roses is too large, and as long as they don't get a harvest for a day, they can't sleep with their eyes closed.

When Song Haonian heard this, he hurriedly walked over and grabbed Lily's hand and said, "Who allows you to think nonsense? You are my daughter-in-law, if I don't nod, it will be difficult for you to get these things out, if you want to say that you are greedy, am I not greedy?"

Lily knew that he had the heart to persuade him, so she had to show a reluctant smile: "People say that husband and wife are one, I am not good, and you are not good." ”

"Isn't that the reason!" Song Haonian gave Lily a chopstick toon bud and said to her, "Ming'er has to work early in the morning, you eat more." ”

If it is said that farmers usually get up early and are greedy for darkness when they farm the land, this time is really competing for time with God.

Even a little doll like Apricot knows how to bring a small wooden basin to help water the ground, she is small and weak, a basin of water to the ground is left half a basin, the rest is all splashed on her own body, she can't hold two pots a day, and the next day she is so sore that she can't lift her arms, and she still comes.

Lily couldn't see Xing'er working so hard, so she took people home and cooked sour plum soup for her to drink, but Li Caifeng said: "My girl looks like a conscientious person now, and it is not in vain that you love her every day." ”

"No matter how hard it is for me, can I still ask her to do work with a doll like this? Xing'er really refused to agree, so Lily had to give her another job: "You watch the tofu shop for me." "These days, the business of the tofu shop is also affected by the weather, and it is not as good as usual, if Xing'er is in the store, there is Wenwa's father and mother looking at her, but she is not afraid of something.
