Chapter 136: The Drought Begins

Time flies by in our busy schedule, and it's mid-July in a blink of an eye. The weather is also getting hotter day by day, and seeing that the thermometer at home has reached more than 40 degrees, everyone doesn't go out much, because the sun is so hot that the earth is scorched like a charcoal stove.

But not everyone can hide at home, and the villagers who have to farm have to visit the fields every day, and they have to endure the scorching sun.

This morning, just after breakfast, Qu's mother shouted that everyone should go to the field: "Hurry up, hurry up, before the sun is fully exposed, let's hurry up and put on the sunscreen net." ”

When the sun starts to shine in our family, we use sunscreen screens. Every morning after breakfast, the whole family goes out to transport rolls of sunscreen nets to the ground on tricycles, and in teams of two, they can put up sunscreens.

When we heard Qu Ma's call, we hurriedly armed ourselves, long clothes and trousers, masks, hats, gloves, cloth shoes, and didn't dare to leave behind, leaving our eyes exposed from head to toe, Jiang Zhi and the others were also dressed like this, that is, they turned their masks into windproof scarves. Because I know that this year's drought has begun, this kind of exposure will cause people to burn, so I ask everyone to wear such equipment when going out in this weather.

When the children finished eating, they also drove the cattle and sheep to the mountains to escape the heat, they were okay, they could take off the long clothes and trousers outside when they got to the shade of the trees, put them in the backpack and carry them, and then use them when they went down the mountain, and they were still short clothes and shorts when they were in the mountains, which was very cool.

We locked the courtyard gate. Pushing the tricycle, he went to the field, and on the way, he gathered the four people of the eldest sister's family, the two adults of the second sister's family, and the three people of the aunt's family, and a large group of people marched to the field together.

After Chenchen needed a sunscreen from here, he stopped going to the mountains. Instead, they stayed to help, and the cattle and sheep at home were handed over to Sissi and a few of them. He is very manly now, and he is very responsible in everything he does.

The second brother-in-law finally recovered completely after two months of cultivation, although we did not explicitly say that our family was responsible for the acres of land in our own family, but he consciously told the second sister that he couldn't trouble us anymore, he was now injured, and it was time for him to support this family.

When the second sister learned the words of the second brother-in-law with me. I'm very surprised, these two brothers-in-law won't be too stimulated, and their hearts will grow completely. I also know that I am the head of the family. also knows that he has to take care of his wife and children, if he really thinks so in his heart and does this, then we can't save him in vain. But it's not just a matter of words. Doesn't it all say that Lu Yao knows the horsepower and sees the hearts of the people for a long time. Now that everyone lives so close, everything is under everyone's noses, what are you like, you can't pretend if you want to, you can't hide if you want to, no matter how good you say it is, you can't do it well, whether he really changes or not, we will wait and see.

After gathering the three families, we went together into the field, and when we got to the field. Everyone quickly picked up rolls of sunscreen nets and went to their places to start working.

When Jiang Zhi came back from pulling the sunscreen in the county, we thought of a lot of ways. Looking for a simple, fast, and efficient way to do it. The final method is to tie both ends of the sunscreen net with bamboo poles, and the bamboo poles are vertically inserted at both ends of the ground, we only need to stick the bamboo poles of the sunscreen net between the two bamboo poles on the ground, and then two people take a roll of sunscreen nets at both ends, and unfold the roll synchronously, and the other end of the ground is just when the sunscreen is used up, and the tail of the sunscreen net with the bamboo pole is stuck between the two bamboo poles at this end of the ground. In order to prevent the sunscreen from being too heavy and collapsing and crushing the rice, we also erected a few bamboo poles in the middle and used bamboo poles in the middle. The overall look is like the lower frame in the man, and there are four or five such frames in a long strip. So far, the sunscreen has been good and there have been no problems.

When we were on the branch, we were all paired with Jiang Zhi, Li Cheng and Li Shanqing, Jiang Dad and Qu Dad, Qu Ma and Wei Wei, Aunt Liang and eldest sister, eldest brother-in-law and Chenchen, second sister and second brother-in-law, Jiang Ma and aunt, little sister-in-law and Lu Fang. This is not a casual matching, the pace of two people must be about the same, the match is good, or one goes fast and one goes slow, the sunscreen should be twisted crookedly, and finally it will not be stuck on the original bamboo pole, and it has to be adjusted from the new, which is very delayed.

Jiang Zhi and I did it the fastest, maybe it was because of the practice of the exercises, we did this very synchronously, and we still had the strength (I used the giant force charm), so we did it the fastest, followed by Li Cheng and Li Shanqing, after we finished our tasks, we went to help Qu Ma and Wei Wei, then Jiang Dad and Qu Dad, and then the second sister and the second brother-in-law.

The second sister and the second brother-in-law are the slowest among all of them, the first is that they are a group of people, and the second is that the second brother-in-law is too fat, and the fat man is very guilty in this weather, and he is wearing long clothes and trousers, it will be even hotter, just watch him do it for a while, he has to listen to it and rest for a while, wipe his sweat, and then continue to dry. The second sister felt a little sorry for him, and said that he should go up to the side to do something else, such as handing everyone sunscreen nets, bamboo poles or something, although he was also tired, but it was definitely better than always walking around in the sun like this.

The second brother-in-law said that he didn't agree with anything, and said: "No, these acres of land in our family were given to us by Xiao Yibai, and I couldn't go down to the ground when I planted it, and they also helped us plant it, and now I can work in the field, and let people help us, isn't that equivalent to white grain." Besides, it's not that I can't do it, it's just that I slow down, sweat more, and I'll lose weight, didn't you always make me argue for weight loss before, and now it's going to start. ”

I listened to what he said, and besides, the second brother-in-law is a little fat, of course, compared with us, if he is compared with before, he is much thinner now.

When we first started to set up sunscreen nets, we always helped the second sister and the second brother-in-law, and the second brother-in-law was very embarrassed, so he went earlier the next day and wanted to do it in advance, so that he would not be hindered and would not have to trouble us.

But let the sister-in-law criticize it, the growth of rice needs sunlight, and we are already very early when we go now, if it is advanced, the rice will not grow well if the sun is not enough.

Only then did the second brother-in-law dispel the idea of going to work early and accepted our help from time to time.

Qin Hanbin came to ask when we used sunscreen nets for the first time in our house, and after knowing the purpose of sunscreen nets, he also made a few sunscreen nets and put them away with his father every morning and evening.

At the beginning, the villagers looked at our family to shade the rice, and said that we people in the city are able to get the sun, and the rice has grown in the sun from ancient times to the present, and they have never heard of anyone who gives the rice shade.

Within a few days, though, they didn't think so. Due to the exposure of the sun, many rice seedlings in the paddy fields began to wilt, and the water in the fields also dried up very seriously, these days when the weather is hot, the villagers basically have to go to the fields every night to put some water in the paddy fields, and our rice fields do not need to, because the exposure time is short, the water evaporation is relatively less.

If our rice field is different from other villagers, because our rice seedlings are going to be filled with grain when they bloom, so they are more resistant than small rice seedlings, then Qin Hanbin's rice field is the best example, his family has 4 acres of land planted with our rice seedlings, and the other land is planted with the same as the villagers, the rice seedlings have just been in the ground for more than 1 month, and all his land has been covered with shade nets, although he has to use four hours a day to lay the net and collect the net, but the effect is also significant, not to mention the rice that has grown up, Even those rice, which are the same as the villagers, are also green, and Xingbang can see some yellowed and some dry rice seedlings.

Seeing that the rice of the old Qin family was covered with sunscreen nets and wilted so little, and it also saved water, this method was faced. After research, it was found that this sunscreen net is good, although it covers the rice, but it does not cover all the sunlight, there is a gap in the middle, and the sunlight can shine through the gap to the rice below, so that the rice shines into the sun, and will not be exposed to the sun, and all the rice that uses it will grow so green and good in this weather.

Everyone began to inquire where they got this sunscreen net, and we didn't hide it, so we told the people who came to inquire. We have enough sunscreen in our house, and if this method can be done this year, then our family will not really use the sunscreen for more than a month and a half, this thing is very strong, as long as it is not deliberately cut with a knife, it will generally not break.

We don't care about the whereabouts of the other sunscreens in all the counties, it would be better if the people in our village could have a family, because only when everyone is not hungry can we stop living our lives.

Of course, trouble is still everywhere, after everyone knows the benefits of sunscreen nets, some people in the village are crooked, saying that our old Jiang family is not authentic, and there are such good things and they don't say a word to everyone, or their rice can't wilt, so it is certain that the yield will be reduced in autumn.

When we hear such words, we laugh it off, for those who can pick out the bones in the egg, it doesn't make sense to reason, and there is no need to reason with them, the thing is mine, I want to tell you, and no one wants to know when I don't want to tell.

And most of the people in the village don't have the leisure to gossip now, they are busy working for the rice in the field, busy going to the county to find sunscreen nets, busy cutting bamboo in the bamboo forest, busy releasing water into the field every night, in short, they are busy, and they all hope to keep as much harvest as possible in the field.
