Chapter Seventy-Two: Greed Knows No Bounds
The Li family also counted one by one, and they all ran out.
Jia An Jiaxi raised his hands and ran wildly in the yard.
The rest of the people rushed to the fields in droves.
In the past two months, they have almost been worn through their shoulders by the flat shoulders.
It's just barely enough to keep the crops from drought.
And at this moment, the sky rained.
The dry earth was moistened, and all the cracks were like gaping mouths.
Trying to drink the rain and trying to regain life.
"There is salvation, there is salvation!"
"No more fetching water!"
"The crops are saved!"
A few old men next door were taking care of the crops.
Just kneeling in the field and waiting for this rain.
At this time, they cried even harder.
Originally, they gave the land to the Li family to plant, which was a good thing.
Looking forward to the Li family's more, more food.
It's a shame to have so much space to spare.
They are also old and dependent, and they live a more relaxed life.
Where did I think that the beginning of spring is a great drought.
If there is no harvest, the Li family will have to raise them in vain.
Doesn't this become their advantage?
So, more than anyone else, they want the drought to pass quickly.
Now it's raining, and the crops are saved.
No one could be happier!
Mrs. Li hugged her granddaughter and wiped her tears under the eaves.
Jiayin slept a little dazed and yawned.
Turn your head to look at the cheerful rain that is pouring down.
The first thought in my heart was that the price of the dish was going to drop.
However, the vegetable garden in the small courtyard of the space is also about to be plucked.
Take advantage of this time to stop, it's okay.
It rained heavily for half the night.
It was not until the long-drought earth completely quenched the thirst that it stopped.
The families didn't care about the mud and hurriedly tidied up the garden.
Replant the greens first, and as long as they grow, you don't have to go hungry anymore.
The naughty boys swarmed to the river.
Soon, they came back in another swarm.
"There's water in the river!"
"There's water in the river, we can catch fish!"
The villagers couldn't help but laugh and scold, "Of course there is water."
It's all rain from the mountains!
In a few days, the water from the south will come down, and I am afraid it will be even bigger. ”
The woman took her son's ear and muttered.
"Stay away from the river!
The river will sweep you away, see who will save you! ”
"Oh, got it, mother."
The naughty boy should be good.
But I couldn't help but run to the river.
At this time, it was already the end of June.
I can't think about replanting food at all.
Even in the field, only cabbage and radish can be grown.
Sweet potatoes are not made.
Because the growing season is too long, it will be frosty before the harvest.
People are always like this, and their desires are hard to fill.
I was expecting rain.
As long as it rains, they can replant some cabbage turnips.
Make sure that the whole family will not starve to death, and they will be satisfied.
But now that he has planted cabbage and radish, he began to envy and envy the Li family.
It's only been raining for three days.
The crops in the Li family's field began to grow wildly.
As far as the eye can see, there is a new green.
I really want to gather this crop and put it in my own field.
However, this matter is just a matter of thinking about it.
Not to mention that the Li family has the grace of sharing water.
Just look at the firewood knife and sickle in the hands of the Li family's children and grandchildren...
Everyone, regardless of whether it is true or not, welcomes the Li family with a smile.
Early in the morning of this day, Li Lao Er rushed to the city to deliver food.
This is the last car, and it will be settled by Steward Zhou when it is sold out.
Just as Jiayin expected, on the second day of the rain, the price of vegetables dropped.
Li Lao Er was reluctant and insisted on selling a few more cars.
Today is Mrs. Li's decision to slap the table, the last time.
He took the books with him and went into the city.
Li Laosan and Li Laosi's families are going to the fields.
Rain from heaven relieved the thirst of the crops.
In the same way, weeds are also a benefit.
It's only been a few days, and it's already growing taller than the crops.
At this time, if you don't get rid of it, you will have to rob the crops of nutrients.
Mrs. Li stopped her son and daughter-in-law and said.
"I've been thinking about something these days, and you can listen to it."
Li Laosan and Li Laosi both sat down.
"Mother, what's the matter?"
Jiayin was about to go to the ground, and Mrs. Li put her granddaughter down.
Let her hold her knees and slowly practice walking around the chair.
"The whole village has been plagued, and the crops have been destroyed.
Now only our 30 acres are still there, and the longer the next few days, the better.
It's so eye-catching.
It's been a long time, and I'm worried that someone will look red.
If something goes wrong, it's not good. ”
Li Laosi glared at that time.
"Mother, don't worry, I go to the fields every day.
Whoever dares to touch the eyes of the bad heart, I will hammer him to death! ”
Li Laosan also said, "Mother, we must go to the fields frequently." ”
Mrs. Li shook her head, "There is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days."
If someone really wants to make it bad, it is impossible to prevent it.
That's what I thought.
Our family has 30 acres of land, which is a lot.
This year, the grain tax has been exempted, and the amount collected is ours.
Fifteen acres of food for the whole family is enough.
The remaining 15 acres of grain harvested in the autumn will also be sold.
And these days, the family sells vegetables and makes a lot of money.
Our family is not short of money for selling grain.
It's better to release the news now.
In the fall, lend food to the villagers. ”
Li Laosan and Li Laosi glanced at each other.
Li Laosi's mind was a little bright, so he asked.
"Does my mother want to tie up the whole village and follow our family to watch the crops together?"
Mrs. Li smiled, her son is not a brain space.
"Yes, now everyone is jealous of our food.
If it is distributed to everyone, they will tide over the difficulties together.
Then the crops in this field belong to the whole village.
Not only is he not afraid of human disasters, but he also has dozens of people to take care of him. ”
"Mother, you are so smart."
"yes, that's a good idea."
Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru were both in favor, but Tao Hongying said.
"Mother, it's a good thing to borrow food.
But don't you want everyone to write a note and press a handprint? ”
Mrs. Li nodded, "When the second child comes back, I will invite the village chief to come."
Write a paperwork, who borrows it and who signs it and puts his fingerprint on it. ”
The matter was settled, and everyone went to work.
When the sun was in the west, Li Lao Er came back with a mule cart.
With the smell of alcohol, it is obvious that he has not drunk less.
"Mother, I invited Steward Zhou and Liu Darttou to lunch in the tavern."
Mrs. Li didn't blame her son and asked.
"The same week's steward has settled?"
"Yes, mother, I gave him all the money for today's dishes.
This was not enough, and the son added another eight taels. ”
Li Lao Er was a little distressed, but he thought about what he got more, and that's it.
"You go and sober up, there will be big things in a while."
Mrs. Li picked up her family, and Anjiaxi went to invite the village chief.
The village chief has been busy half to death lately.
It is necessary to replant and guard against wild beasts coming down the mountain.
I also urge the villagers not to be lazy.
The few families that borrowed it also had to move out.
Suddenly, he heard that the Li family had an invitation, so he hurried over.
"Big sister, has someone harmed your crops?
Say, which rabbit cub is red-eyed?
I'll kick him to death! ”
He opened his mouth to defend the Li family, which made the Li family happy.
Li Lao Er hurriedly helped him sit down, and Tao Hongying served tea.
The village chief was confused, and didn't understand what was going on with the Li family.
Doesn't it look like you're being bullied?
Li Lao Er took out a piece of paper, half of which was full of words, and the rest of the article was blank.
"Uncle, there is such a thing.
Wait for me to read the deed to you. ”
The village chief became more and more confused.
But as soon as Li Lao Er read a few sentences, he suddenly stood up.
The tea was sprinkled on the placket of the clothes, and it was too late to wipe it.
