"Mother, I understand that my mother's second sister-in-law, she can leave so reluctantly today, I guess she is thinking about repairing the house, you also know, her brother's virtue, or let the eldest brother and Dali contact the helper after eating."

As soon as Mrs. Tao heard that it made sense, she hurriedly explained to her two sons, and after eating, she went to find their reliable people to help.

In fact, in the countryside, you don't need to find any professional masons to renovate your house, you can just do it yourself, but some people who really can't do it, just find two people who can do it to help.

Zhu's second sister-in-law's brother also started his family in this way, but he is a good hand at building and painting walls by himself, and every time he is halfway through the work, he will take the main family and add money, and over time, his reputation will be ruined.

After eating, Tao Dayong and Tao Dali went to find someone.

Tao Tao squatted in the yard boringly turning over the dirt, counting ants, one, two, three......

There are more ants today than usual, and they all go in one direction in swarms.

Moreover, Tao Tao sniffed her nose, there was a smell of damp earth in the space, it was going to rain!

"Grandma, it's going to rain, should you put your clothes in."

Tao Tao pulled out Mrs. Tao who was lying on the bed and pointed to the row of clothes hanging under the eaves.

"Silly boy, what are you talking nonsense?" Mrs. Tao thinks that Tao Tao is a fairy tale, talking nonsense and playing, on such a hot day, there is not even a cloud, how can it rain.

Tao Tao shook her head very obediently, "Grandma, I'm not talking nonsense, you see that the ants are moving." ”

What does the ant move have to do with the rain, Mrs. Tao smiled silently, not planning to listen to her granddaughter's children's words.

But Ren Qing on the side stood still, ants moved, she had seen it in the trees before, one of the natural phenomena before the rainstorm was the ants moving, but just relying on the ants to move this kind of thing to convince everyone that it was raining, I guess no one believed it.

"Taotao, you tell your aunt, why do you think it's going to rain, ants occasionally move."

Ren Qing squatted in front of Tao Tao and rubbed Tao Tao's little head melon.

Momo tilted her little head, "Because Momo smells the rain." ”

After Tao Tao came to Tao's house, Ren Qing felt that Tao Tao's luck was incomparable, and what Tao Tao said would basically come true, but she didn't know if she could believe it if it was such a big thing as rain.

"Momo, are you sure? If I'm sure, then I'll have to tell Uncle Captain about the rain. ”

If it doesn't rain for a long time, if it does rain this time, it may be a torrential rain, so dig a ditch in the field before it rains, otherwise the crops will be soaked when the rain is heavy.

Tao Tao nodded very affirmatively.

I don't know why, Ren Qing felt that she could trust Taotao, so under her persuasion, Mrs. Tao was also moved.

Mrs. Tao went to the captain in disbelief, and she also thought about it, if it really rained, it would be considered a big help, in case it didn't rain, the big deal would be to be criticized.

The village committee office is still brightly lit, the captain is discussing with several village committee cadres, the weather has become more sultry these days, and now every day from home to the field, but the water at home is also limited, like this, let alone watering the ground, even the hot water can not be drunk, this is not to solve the problem of watering, then you can only watch the crops die.

"Knock knock!"

The door of the office rang, and Captain Wang looked up and saw that it was Mrs. Tao, thinking that she was still here to repair the house, and he would have a headache about not raining, and he didn't have the heart to listen to trivial things.

"Aunt Tao, I'm busy, I have something to say tomorrow."

Captain Wang didn't raise his head when he spoke, and he was in a very depressed mood now.

Mrs. Tao saw that the captain ignored her, and she was a little anxious, thinking of the affirmative eyes of her granddaughter and eldest daughter-in-law at home, Mrs. Tao gritted her teeth and fought hard.

Mrs. Tao opened the door directly, stood in the office of the village committee, and said to the cadres of the village committee, "It's going to rain tonight, captain, you quickly let each household dig out the ditch." ”

Going to rain? Captain Wang was about to jump up when he heard this, but what an old woman said, don't come to bluff him, it's not a trivial matter to inform the villagers to dig a ditch in the middle of the night, if it doesn't rain, his captain's hat will be gone.

"Aunt Tao, you can't eat indiscriminately, and you can't talk nonsense, if you spread rumors, you will be arrested by the police."

was arrested by the public security, it was so serious, Mrs. Tao really didn't want to say it, but when she went out, she promised her granddaughter.

"It's not a rumor, it's going to rain."

When Captain Wang saw Mrs. Tao so sure, he remembered that Mrs. Tao was the oldest person in the village, so it was possible that she had some way to know when it was raining.

Captain Wang struggled for a long time, and finally he decided to believe Mrs. Tao.

"Aunt Tao, I believe you once, but you have to tell me why?"

Mrs. Tao was a little speechless, and she didn't know why, "Captain, it's not a secret, it's my Taotao who said it would rain tonight, and I don't understand what the ants are talking about, but I don't think what Taotao said will be wrong." ”

Now not only Captain Wang was dumbfounded, but the people in the village committee office were dumbfounded, Taotao, it was the three-year-old female doll of the Tao family, who could believe what she said.

"Aunt Tao, don't mess with us here, go back to sleep."

Captain Wang was so angry that there was smoke above his head, and he was still ready to believe Mrs. Tao, this three-year-old doll dared to believe it, and he saw that Mrs. Tao was not clear in her mind.

Captain Wang sent Mrs. Tao out of the village committee office with a pull, and just as he was about to close the door, he heard a familiar voice.

"Captain, you believe Tao Tao once, I think Tao Tao makes sense."

Captain Wang looked in the direction of the voice, and the person who spoke was Ren Qing, the eldest daughter-in-law of Mrs. Tao.

If someone else spoke, Captain Wang would definitely ignore it, but the person who spoke was Ren Qing.

Ren Qing is the first batch of educated youths in the village to go to the countryside, and he is also one of the few people that Captain Wang can admire in this village.

I heard that Ren Qing had studied, and his family was very unusual, Captain Wang didn't learn from Ren Qing at the beginning, he was almost friends with Ren Qing, but he didn't know why Ren Qing married the eldest son of the old Tao family, and he was a pity at the time.

"Dayong daughter-in-law, are you so sure?"

Ren Qing nodded, she squatted down, pointed to the ants on the ground, and the soil that was already slightly wet, and said, "Captain Wang, you see that the ants are moving, and the ground is also wet, I remember that it was written in a book, this is a sign before the rainstorm, so just in case, let's let the big guys come out and dig ditches." ”
