Chapter 25: The Precursor to the Coming Flood!
Yu Daya, who had grown half a head taller, asked with concern, "Milk, what's wrong with you?" ”
"I'm worried about whether it's going to rain this day."
The bald boy Yu De said unconcernedly, "What's there to worry about?" We don't all look forward to the rain, I think it would be better if it rained, so we don't have to worry about starvation! ”
He felt that what his grandmother was sighing for, what was she doing...... What's going on? What's the concern?
Yu De scratched his head, he still didn't come up with it after thinking about it for a long time, so he simply forgot it, he was not the head who could remember four words.
Ku Xia said worriedly, "It's really a good thing to rain, but what if it rains too much?" Wangjia Village is near the mountain, if the rain is too heavy, it will cause mudslides, landslides, the houses in Wangjia Village are still adobe houses, if the next heavy rain can not stay! ”
"It's been dry for so long, and these embryonic houses are very brittle, I'm really afraid......"
Yu Cai, who looks the same as Yu De, but is thinner than Yu De, comforts the bitter summer, "Milk, don't think about this first, it's nothing to float two black clouds, didn't the village chief of the Wang family say that it has often been like this since the drought, at first they thought it would rain, but this black cloud didn't rain a drop of rain as if it was floating and playing, you can rest assured, it will definitely not rain heavily!" ”
They can't understand Ku Xia's worries, and Ku Xia can't tell them clearly, how should she tell them, she knows from the plot that there will definitely be a big flood.
The plot does not say what the specific month is, but Ku Xia estimates that it should be recently, especially in the past few days, the frequency of dark clouds drifting in the sky has increased, no one in the village cares, but Ku Xia's mind is tense day by day, these days she pays special attention to Fu Bao's movements, and also makes Li Laidi pay attention, in case Fu Bao cries, let Li Laidi immediately leave the house and go to an open place, the farther away the better!
Li Laidi didn't know why her mother-in-law was so nervous, but she listened to her mother-in-law's words and repeatedly assured her mother-in-law that she would definitely pay attention to Fubao's crying.
In the next few days, the bitter summer will always pay attention to the weather movements, whether it is a major drought or a flood, the weather after this is always changeable, and it is impossible to say when there will be any changes.
In addition, after the great drought, the usual signs of weather changes will also change, and Kuxia feels that the knowledge he has learned before is completely useless here.
The sun didn't appear much on this day, there were always big dark clouds floating in the sky, covering the sun tightly, the dark clouds seemed to float on Ku Xia's heart, making her heart heavy, she and the village chief said that this might be a sign of heavy rain, the village chief shook his head and waved his hand and didn't believe it.
They swear that they have experienced this situation several times, and there is no rain at all.
Ku Xia couldn't convince the peak of power in the village, and no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't do anything.
I can only patiently wait for the changes in nature to warn the people of Wangjia Village when the flood really comes.
After a few days, the weather has been frequently cloudy in the past few days, and the air is getting hotter and more humid, Ku Xia wiped the sweat on his head, looked up at the looming sun covered by dark clouds, and had a premonition in his heart, estimated that it was just a few days.
She looked at the red quinoa around her, and knew that she couldn't drag it any longer, and if she dragged it any longer, all the quinoa they planted would be in vain!
The village chief must be persuaded to lead the whole village to harvest quinoa now!
"What? Harvest now, doesn't it mean that you will have to wait a few more days to ripen! ”
Ku Xia told the village chief about the request, and the village chief shouted in surprise.
Ku Xia's face was very serious, and the wrinkled chrysanthemum face was almost flattened because of her seriousness, "I can't wait any longer!" Chief! You heard me say that my hometown has had a flood, and I have been mentioning it in my heart for the past few days, and I see that the weather is too similar to when my family was flooded! ”
"I don't know if you have noticed, there are more and more snakes, insects, rats and ants passing by, this has not been before, since the drought, how can you still see snakes, insects and rats often come out, but you see these days, ants are passing by and moving, and long insects infesting the courtyard, we are not afraid of 10,000, just in case!"
"Village Chief, think about it, why have we bothered for so long? Isn't it just that the people in the village can eat a full meal, and it looks like a bumper harvest is about to be, if there is really a heavy rain, everything will be ruined! ”
As soon as Kuxia said this, the village chief also realized the power, and after thinking about it, he also found that the recent weather was really unusual, even if the weather was unpredictable after the drought, it would not be so strange, no matter how you look at it, it will look like a sign of heavy rain.
Ku Xia persuaded again and again, "Village chief, it's only a few days away anyway, let's quickly organize the villagers to collect the grain!" If there is no heavy rain, it is good, but if there is heavy rain, all the food will be lost! ”
The village chief pondered for a while, and finally slapped his thigh, "It's done!" He is Aunt Yu, just do what you say! Let's go harvest the grain now! ”
As soon as the villagers heard this, they began to collect grain, one by one, they were noisy, and they were quickly pressed down by the village chief, he said the seriousness of the matter, and the big guys were also afraid, in case there was really a heavy rain to wash the grain, their hard work for so long was in vain, but they were also very cooperative, and they worked together, and it took two whole days, day and night, to collect 100 acres of grain!
Looking at the grain stacked like a hill, the villagers of Wangjia Village couldn't help but be overjoyed, and many people couldn't help but shed tears on the land, and some young children climbed up and down the mountain made of grain.
This is simply unimaginable, they can see such a good harvest after starving for so long, they still think that they will be starved to death like this!
And the yield of this 100 acres of land is amazing!
On average, about 400 catties of grain per mu are produced!
100 acres of land, that's 40,000!
When will they have to eat this grain for more than 50 people!
For a while, the villagers were overjoyed, completely forgetting why the village chief let them harvest the grain, and when the village chief shouted at them to put the grain in a high place where it would not be flooded, they remembered, and some people couldn't help complaining, "Village chief, look at this sunny day, where does the rain come from, we have done a day's work, we want to go home and rest for a while, and then we can't get it later?" ”
The village chief saw that the person who said this was really Wang Gouzi, but when he was harvesting grain, he saw it, this Wang Gouzi and Wang Ershui, two famous Laizi, were all paddling inside, and they didn't confiscate much food at all, so they came out to force Lai Lai to fart!
The village chief hated the reprimand of iron and steel, "Wang Gouzi, you talk a lot!" How much do you do, how much do we do? Do you see a tired one?! Your father and mother are more diligent than you! Can a young and strong young man do more work and contribute to the village! What's going on? Don't you want to eat this food? I can tell you, if you don't work, you won't have a grain of food! ”
