Lan Yi sat on the stone at the edge of the field, watching the hired victims busy in the watermelon field. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Wenxuan and Zhao'er were in the field, playing with two small watermelons the size of goose eggs, and the full moon of the eighth mother-in-law and the second sister-in-law's house was also holding one and nibbling. The grocery store hired disaster victims to help buy and watch the goods, and the eight mothers and two sisters-in-law were idle these days, and began to live a leisurely life of going from east to west.

The eighth mother-in-law and the second sister-in-law looked at the dozen or so watermelons of all sizes collected by Wenxuan and them distressedly, and said distressedly, "These watermelons really can't grow?" If this grows up, twenty taels a tael, this is more than three hundred taels of silver! ”

"It's already autumn, and it's not big enough." Lan Yi smiled, but she didn't feel distressed.

"It's the beginning of autumn, it's so fast!" The eighth wife and the second sister-in-law looked at the still lush sweet potato seedlings next to them and the autumn cucumbers that were about to grow next to them, and asked, "What do you want to plant if you pull watermelons from this field?" ”

"Plant cabbage and turnips." Lan Yi said, "Li Ying said that the celery meat buns in the inn sell the best, so plant some celery leaves." ”

The eighth woman and the second sister-in-law covered their mouths and smiled, "Hehe, you can plant a few trees, everyone is watching, as long as you plant, the fields in our village will be planted in a swarm!" When the time comes, you will not be able to buy it from them. ”

Lan Yi shook her head and smiled, and then asked about the matter in the field of the eighth wife and second sister-in-law, "How many catties of peony seeds have been harvested this year?" ”

The eighth mother-in-law and the second sister-in-law grinned, and the double chin became more obvious, "I collected more than 800 catties, which is much less than your garden." ”

Although the year is not good, the peony garden of Lan Yi, Second Uncle Wang and Xia Wan has also collected more than 6,000 catties of peony seeds, and according to the price of 50 wen per catty of peony seeds this year, there are also more than 300 yuan of input. A cart of peony seeds was pulled out, which shook the eyes of the villagers, and they all thought of planting peonies, but now the hillsides are full, and if they are planted, they have to go to other villages to buy land, and they can't be stained with the light of Qingshan Danyuan. If they are planted on the slopes, they will not be able to grow big red fruits, watermelons and sweet potatoes next year, and many people are worried about this, so they plan to go to other villages to buy or rent some fields and many kinds of things, as long as there is a sister-in-law on Tuesday, they will not worry about sales.

When people have hope, they have spirit, so in such a year, the villagers of Beigou Village are busy one by one, and the smile on their faces is not less.

Beigou Village is a blessed land blessed by the dragon, which the people in the village are convinced of, and the victims living in the village are also convinced.

"Owner, what should I do with this watermelon seedling?" A dark, thin and capable hired man came over to ask Lan Yi for advice.

"Load the donkey cart, pull it home first, and put it in the middle yard to dry." Lan Yi instructed, "After loading, everyone drink some water and rest." ”

The black and thin man smiled innocently, "Wait until the grass is pulled, the dung is turned over and then rest." After speaking, he led everyone to start their work.

The eighth wife and the second sister-in-law sighed, "Otherwise, who would like to be a local housewife, the taste of sitting on the ground and watching others work is really not bad." ”

Lan Yi wiped the sweat on Wen Xuan and Zhao'er with a handkerchief, and smiled without speaking.

The eighth mother-in-law and the second sister-in-law looked at Zhao'er and asked, "Brother and sister, the girl still refuses to speak, have you shown Aunt Jia, is there anything wrong with her voice?" ”

"The voice is good, maybe I was frightened before before I refused to speak." Lan Yi looked at Zhao'er who was running behind the anthology, thinking that Xiao Qi should come back soon.

"This kid can follow you, it's really a blessing from fate." The eighth mother-in-law and the second sister-in-law sighed, "I heard that several children have died in Beishantou Village. Last month, when we sacrificed to the god Erlang, our heads were really knocked in vain. ”

Erlang God is the god in charge of the waters, on his birthday on June 24, Beigou Village also held a large-scale worship ceremony, hoping that Erlang God can return from the heavenly palace as soon as possible, rain down widely, and save the common people from suffering.

The drought and high temperature are combined, the frail elderly and children can no longer hold on, and there are not a few who are sick, Lan Yi is also worried about this, even if one day the disease spreads to Beigou Village, and the children's bodies will suffer.

At this time, Yu Yan ran up, "Madam, there are guests at home, and they report that they are from Huajia Village." ”

"Huajia Village?" The eighth wife and the second sister-in-law were the first to react, "Isn't that Lin Shan's grandmother's house, isn't Second Uncle Wang in charge and has already cut off his relatives with them?" Besides, you have been married to the Zhou family for a year, even if they come to find it, they should find Second Uncle Wang, how can they find you? Brother and sister, Second Uncle Wang is in the peony garden, shall I go and tell him? ”

"You don't have to go first, the second uncle is also busy, I'll go back and have a look." Lan Yi was also a little confused, and said hello to the two errand officers who were helping to guard the sweet potato field next to her, and slowly walked down the hillside because of Yan's support.

Lan Yi returned home and saw Hua Changye and a middle-aged man with a black thin beard sitting under the grape trellis in the courtyard with a little restraint, and when he saw himself coming in, he quickly stood up.

Lan Yi greeted with a smile, "I've kept you waiting, Chang Ye, who is this?" ”

Although he changed into new clothes, Hua Changye, who was still haggard, smiled and said, "Sister-in-law Tuesday, this is Uncle Hua Zhanhuan, he is Langzhong in the village. ”

After hearing the name, I remembered that I had met Hua Zhanhuan, Lan Yi bowed slightly, and said with a smile, "Uncle Zhanhuan, it's Lan Yi who has a bad memory, don't be surprised, please sit in the room." ”

Hua Zhanhuan was flattered and gave up, she didn't expect Lan Yi to treat them so politely, and a little hope rose in her heart.

Yu Yan served tea, Lan Yi simply greeted the two of them, and Hua Changye opened his mouth embarrassedly, "Sister-in-law Tuesday, Uncle Zhanhuan and I have no way to come to you." Something happened at home, and the situation was not good. ”

Huajia Village is located in the area of Huaxi Mountain Pass, and the water level is high, so when other villages are looking for water and diverting water, the people of Huajia Village do not participate, and they are relatively lucky among the 35 villages in Huang County, so everything in the village is as usual, and they live quietly and leisurely. When the victims poured in, the village Lizheng also accepted more than 100 people under the passionate call of Liu Zhixian, and Hua Changye's family had more fields, and also accepted a family to help with some field chores. This was a beautiful thing, but Hua Changye's mother He and his wife Xiao He felt that the family was regarded as a slave in the family, and assigned their family of four to do things every day, but the food provided to them was very small, and then the five-year-old son of the family fell ill, and He screamed that the child had a terrible fever and wanted to drive them out of Huajia Village. The family was also forced to be anxious, and they tore up with the big and small He clans, and in the end, the matter became bigger and bigger, and it turned out to be a group fight between the villagers and the sheltered victims, killing people. He was also punished by the rod for causing trouble.
