Lu Changgen wiped the sweat from his face hotly, found a relatively large peach tree, and squatted down in the shade.

"Isn't it owed to your father-in-law? It's all debt. Moreover, Brother Song and sister-in-law are also old, so they can't do it without any emergency money in their hands. After that, Lu Changgen sat under the tree and looked at the peach tree with leaves hanging in the distance, and sighed: "Hey, look at this leaf is a little drooping, I guess I have to water it again." ”

At the mention of watering, Lu Zhengan's shoulders ached. He looked up at the blue sky and sighed helplessly.

Seeing that the sun was getting bigger and bigger, and that there was nothing to do in the garden, the two went their separate ways.

When Lu Zhengan went home, Lu Xingyi was wearing a newly made robe, holding a stool and saying something to the door. Seeing Lu Zhengan coming in the door, Lu Xingyi's eyes lit up immediately, and then he opened his mouth and shouted, 'Da Da'.

Song Huaishu looked at Lu Xingyi while fanning Lu Xingyi. Seeing Lu Zhengan coming back, he hurriedly instructed Lu Xingyi to stand firm, got up and walked to the table and brought him a large bowl of cold boiling. "It's so hot, I'm going to go out to find you if you don't come back. Hurry up and sit down with saliva to cool off and look at your sweat. ”

"Uncle Changgen also went to the garden just now, and the two of us talked for a while." Lu Zhengan bent down to pick Lu Xingyi up from the ground and wiped the small beads of sweat from the tip of her nose.

"I see that the garden is starting to dry again, and I guess I will have to water it for the next two days. It is only a few days before the wheat harvest is now, and it is estimated that they will not be able to pull out the iron bull by then. ”

"So what? No, send Xingyi to my mother first, and I'll help you. Thinking of the three small hills nearby, Song Huaishu asked, "What about the little saplings, do you have to water them together?" ”

"The little sapling is fine for the time being, it's the garden at the door. At present, the fruit has begun to turn red, and if the water cannot keep up, it is estimated that the yield will be reduced. ”

While talking, they only heard a sound of footsteps at the door, and the two of them looked at Lu Xingyi with their probes, only to see the two elders of the Song family walking in with a burden and a food box.

When Lu Xingyi saw his grandfather and grandmother coming, he smiled and smiled, and his little eyes turned red. stretched out his hand to his grandmother, not to mention how aggrieved he was with his lips.

Song Lan looked at Lu Xingyi's appearance, and only felt that his heart seemed to be rubbed hard. After handing the things in his hand to Song Huaishu, he immediately took Lu Xingyi into his arms.

When the little girl was finally hugged by her grandmother, she reached out and hugged her neck, and kissed her on the face with her chin up. In his mouth, he kept shouting indistinctly: "Trouble, trouble......"

Song Xiren looked at Lu Xingyi's appearance, and his heart was sweet and painful. "Alas, this little girl, I feel sorry for the dead."

"Don't look at the child, my heart is actually the same as Spiegel, I know who really loves her. You see, I went out for a stroll in the afternoon, and when I saw me, I didn't pay any attention to me. ”

The two elders, who were originally not happy in their hearts, couldn't help but laugh immediately after hearing Lu Zhengan's words.

"Look at you, you're still competing with a child."

Song Lan carried Lu Xingyi into the hall, pointed to the food box on the table and said to Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu: "When we came, we bought two servings of water essence cakes, which should still be cold, you should eat them quickly, otherwise it won't taste good later." ”

Hearing this, Song Huaishu opened the lid of the food box and looked at the two bowls of water essence cake with white smoke inside, and his heart was moved.

"It's so hot now, how hard did you two come to bring it here?"

Song Xiren saw that Song Huaishu's eyes were a little red, and said with a smile: "I came here in a car with your mother, and it didn't take much effort to wrap it in a quilt." Hurry up and eat it, don't you like this the most? ”

Listening to his father's words, Song Huaishu nodded vigorously. Seeing Lu Zhengan looking at him with a smile on his face, Song Huaishu took a bowl of water essence cake from the food box and handed it to Lu Zhengan.

"I've been in the orchard for so long, so let's eat something to cool off the heat."

Lu Zheng'an stretched out his hand and pushed the bowl of water essence cake handed over by Song Huaishu back in front of Song Huaishu, "I have just drunk a stomach full of water, where can I still eat?" Eat it quickly, my father and mother have come from the town, and it is estimated that it is not very hot, so let them eat. ”

After that, Lu Zhengan hurriedly beckoned the two elders of the Song family to sit down, originally wanting to take Lu Xingyi from his mother-in-law's hands and let her rest in the old man's house. Na Cheng wanted his daughter to refuse to give him any face, twisted his fleshy little buttocks, turned around and hugged his grandmother's neck and didn't look at Lu Zhengan again.

Seeing this, Lu Zhengan laughed and scolded, reached out and gently patted Lu Xingyi's buttocks.

"I just met her grandmother and kissed her, so you don't care. What's the orchard doing lately? When we arrived, we passed by and saw that some of the peaches had already begun to turn red. ”

"The watering was done in time, and the fruit in the garden grew quite well. It's just that it hasn't rained, and the leaves have begun to droop again, and it is estimated that they will have to be watered again. ”

Thinking that the large sloping land at the entrance of Lu Zheng'an was all watered by Lu Zhengan and the people in the village, Song Xiren felt distressed in his heart.

"Hey, this year is really a sin, and it doesn't leave a trace of life for the people." After saying that, Song Xiren sighed again. Turning his eyes to see Lu Xingyi, who was giggling with his grandmother, Song Xiren continued: "Now that the summer harvest is about to start, since the garden is busy, your mother and I will temporarily help at home for a few days, and we will talk about it after these few days." ”

Lu Zhengan wanted to ask his mother-in-law to stay and watch the child for a few days, but when he heard his father-in-law say this, he was overjoyed and thanked him several times.

"It's all a family to thank each other and do something, as long as they can keep the fruit in the garden."

Just when Lu Zhengan thought that another watering 'fierce battle' was about to begin, a rumbling thunder woke Lu Zhengan from his sleep in the middle of the night.

Lu Zhengan didn't bother to pull his shoes on the ground, ran to the window barefoot, looked up at the cloudy sky, and burst into tears.

It's finally starting to get cloudy......

Chapter One Hundred and Nine

The rumbling thunder rang for about half an hour, and Lu Zhengan sat at the window and didn't dare to sleep.

Since the New Year's rain, there hasn't been a drop of rain. In order to keep these peach orchards at home, Lu Zhengan tried all kinds of methods. Although it is much easier than carrying a bucket on his shoulders to pour one load at a time, it has saved a lot of effort. But if the whole garden is watered, it will still make people tired.

Especially now that the fruit is growing at a critical time, there is no shortage of water. Now that God has finally been gracious, how can Lu Zhengan not be excited?

At this time, Lu Zheng sat quietly at the window, feeling the cool breeze blowing in from outside, for fear that it was just a dream. It wasn't until 10 o'clock that the clouds overhead were getting lower and lower, as if they could be touched by just stretching out their hands, when the rain finally poured down.

Waiting to see the water in the courtyard gushing out like a stream, Lu Zhengan finally couldn't help but lean on Song Huaishu behind him, gritted his teeth and suppressed the heat in his eyes.

Song Huaishu looked down at Lu Zheng'an in front of him, saw his Adam's apple rolling, and thought of Lu Zheng'an's hard work in the past few months. Stretched out his hand and grabbed his shoulder, and hugged Lu Zhengan tightly in his arms with his thin body.

"Zheng'an, it's raining."

Hearing this, Lu Zhengan didn't speak, just nodded lightly. It wasn't until he heard the door of the hall creak that it was opened, that Song Huaishu let go of Lu Zheng'an, and the two of them came outside the house together. Looking at the two elders standing under the eaves, Lu Zhengan really laughed at this moment.

It rained heavily for nearly two hours, and then the rain gradually became lighter.

Lu Zheng'an, who was worried about the orchard, waited for the rain to become lighter, and then found the dusty clothes from the barn. "It's raining a lot at this time, why don't you wait for the rain to get a little bit lower before you go out?"

"It's okay, it's raining too much, I'll have to see how the fruit is on the tree, and I'll be back later." Lu Zhengan said as he tied the bag on his coat.

Song Xiren looked at this and hurriedly said, "Shall I go with you?" ”

"Father, don't go, it's just raining, the mountain road is slippery, you can help your mother watch Xingyi at home." After speaking, Lu Zhengan went out with a shovel.

Lu Zhengan followed the path at the door to the orchard and took a closer look, except for some shrunken peaches that were knocked down by the heavy rain, the situation was quite good. There was stagnant water in some low-lying areas, and Lu Zhengan used a shovel to dig a small ditch to drain the water.

Walking around the orchard, Lu Zheng'an had just washed the mud off his hands and feet in a small ditch on the side of the mountain road. As soon as I got up the mountain road, I saw a man in a cloak walking towards the mountain not far away. Lu Zhengan looked at it and saw that it was Lu Changgen, so he stopped and waited for a while.

"Uncle Changgen, it's raining so hard, why are you here?"

Lu Changgen wiped the rain from his face, turned his head to look at the orchard, and sighed heavily. "It's raining too much, so I'm relieved to come and take a look. How's it going? The fruit has fallen, right? ”

"No, the situation is fine, don't worry."

Hearing Lu Zheng'an say this, Lu Changgen turned to look at the wheat fields that had begun to turn yellow at the foot of the mountain. "God didn't know what he wanted to do, but he saw that the wheat in the wheat field would be harvested in a few days. This heavy rain fell down, and I saw a lot of lodging. This year, I am afraid that it will take a lot of work to harvest wheat. ”

"Whatever happens, it's good to be able to rain. At the very least, we don't have to carry water for water in our orchard anymore, and if we carry water for water again, half of my little life will be removed. ”

While speaking, on the mountain road, Song Xiren walked towards this side with an umbrella in one hand and Lu Xingyi in the other. After seeing Lu Changgen and Lu Zheng'an standing on the side of the road, Song Xiren nodded at the two of them. And Lu Xingyi hugged Song Xiren's neck, looked up at the first-class umbrella, and his big eyes were full of curiosity.

After turning his head and seeing Lu Zheng'an not far away, Lu Xingyi 'da-da' and 'da-da' shouted twice, and then held his little hand and struggled towards Lu Zheng'an's side.

"It's not a small rain, why did Brother Changgen come here so early?"

Lu Changgen was very happy when he saw that Song Xiren was also there. "I couldn't stay at home, so I just came out for a walk. Xingyi, Xingyi, is it okay to let grandpa hug him? ”

As he spoke, Lu Changgen clapped his hands and stretched out to Lu Xingyi.

Lu Xingyi often met with Lu Changgen, and naturally he was no stranger to him. It's just that at this moment, Lu Xingyi and Song Xiren were kissing, and after grinning at him, he turned around and threw himself back into Song Xiren's arms.

Looking at her small appearance, Song Xiren couldn't help laughing out loud with joy. "Ouch, my good grandson, is still the closest to grandpa."

Lu Zhengan looked up at the sky, and although it was still dark, the rain had stopped. I felt that the lily clothes were heavy and hot on my body, so I simply took off the lily clothes on my body. Stretched out his hand and patted Lu Xingyi's back, and said with a smile: "Come, dad hug, grandpa hugs me all the way, and I'm tired." Dad hugged and let grandpa rest and rest. ”

took Lu Xingyi from Song Xiren's arms, and Lu Zhengan asked Song Xiren to help hold it. "It's time for breakfast now, so don't go back to Uncle Changgen, eat at my house, right?" It just so happens that you and my father haven't seen each other for a long time, so wait for your second elder to talk to him at noon. ”

Song Xiren and Lu Changgen can talk very well, plus they have been in the town for so long, and they have also committed chess addiction. It just so happened that there was no need to work when it was raining today, so I would be willing to let him go back. Stretched out his hand and grabbed Lu Changgen's arm, and beckoned: "Let's go, let's have a good talk today." ”

……

As soon as the rain stopped, more people came out to wander around the fields.

Many people in the village were worried about the orchard of Lu Zheng'an's family, and after coming to take a look and finding that there was no problem, they were all relieved.

Lu Yang's family saw that Lu Changgen had not returned home for a long time after going up the mountain, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart. After the rain stopped, he took an umbrella and came to Lu Zheng'an's house.

Seeing Lu Changgen and Song Xiren, who were playing the big dragon under the eaves of the hall, they were stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled: "I said that you won't go home for half a day, and you will play chess with your eldest brother here." ”

Hearing Lu Yang's voice, Song Lan, who was giving Lu Xingyi pigtails in the house, walked out with a comb, and when she saw Lu Yang coming in the door, she smiled and said, "Sister Shuyi is here?" Why don't you bring the spring greetings? A few days ago, I cut a dress for her, and I was saying that I would let Zheng'an and Huaishu send it to her to try. ”

Hearing this, the smile on Lu Yang's face deepened. "Yingchun's girl has a lot of clothes, and Sister Lan bothered her to do something. And with her monkey-like personality, no matter how good her clothes are, she can't wear them. ”

"Spring is the age of love to move, and it is normal to be lively. If you really stay at home all day and don't go out of the door, you will be worried. ”

Saying that, Song Lan let Lu Yang into the house, let her rest on the stool, and beckoned Song Huaishu to go to the room where she lived to take out the baggage she brought. Seeing Lu Xingyi holding his hair and clutching the rattle in his hand and falling constantly, he couldn't help laughing.

"You also said that Yingchun is a monkey monkey, and the real monkey is here. You see, who's playing like this, and she won't be able to last a few days if something good gets into her hands. As he spoke, Song Lanshi tapped Lu Xingyi's eyebrows with her index finger, and saw that she was like a tumbler, leaned back, and her two thick calves curled up and stabilized her figure, causing several people to laugh out loud.

Seeing that several people were staring at her and laughing, Lu Xingyi held on to the handrail of the car and was about to get up and climb out. Seeing her father coming out of the house with a package, the little girl began to complain.

After the heavy rain stopped for an hour, it began to fall again. Lu Zhengan looked at the dense rain curtain and said to everyone: "This rain is so heavy, Uncle Changgen and Aunt You can't go back, so you can eat here at noon." Yesterday, my father and mother brought two knives of meat, so let's make dumplings at noon today, we haven't eaten them for a long time. ”

Since the beginning of the drought fight, everyone has been stuck in the ground all day and night, and there is rarely time to be idle. Not to mention that the family is lively and lively together to make dumplings, even if you can sit together and have a reunion dinner, it is rare.

Now God opened his eyes, and finally it started to rain, and everyone was there, so Lu Zhengan began to think about what to eat.

Song Xiren and Song Lan's family were close to Lu Changgen and his wife, so naturally they would not object.

Seeing this, Lu Zhengan called Song Huaishu to help him make an umbrella, and the two of them went to the back vegetable garden to cut leeks and prepare to chop the stuffing.

Nine-month-old Lu Xingyi already knew that he was starting to ask for something to eat, and when the steaming dumplings came out of the pot, Lu Xingyi, who was sitting in the car, was dripping down the corners of his mouth, and he began to push his hands and feet in the direction of the table.

Song Huaishu looked at her like a little gluttonous cat, only felt extremely embarrassed, and reached out to hold Lu Xingyi in his arms.

Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from the dumplings on the table, he saw Lu Xingyi's eyebrows and eyes red, and he immediately opened his mouth and cried.

Lu Xingyi rarely cried, and when the four elders heard Lu Xingyi's cry, they immediately felt distressed. "Niuniu has already grown a few teeth, and she can eat a little bit of this dumpling, so you can bring her one and let her eat and play. Look at the one who recruited her, her eyes are swollen from crying. ”

Song Huaishu, who was being trained, was a little at a loss for a while, and turned his head to look at Lu Zhengan, with an expression of embarrassment and helplessness on his face.

Seeing this, Lu Zhengan quietly shook his hand and whispered comfortingly: "Elders, they all love children." And my mother is not a bottomless pet, so let her say a few words. Wait for the night, I'll beat that stinky girl for you to vent my anger. ”

Lu Zhengan's words made Song Huaishu laugh for a while, stretched out his hand and poked his waist and eyes, and said with a smile: "Okay, you, where am I so stingy with you, and let you beat a child to make me angry." Alright, go and bring the garlic sauce from the stove house, and let's get ready to eat. ”

After the start, Song Lan's took the lead in clipping one for Lu Xingyi.

Lu Xingyi, who got his wish to eat dumplings, held the dumplings with both hands and gnawed without raising his head. Although the little girl doesn't have a few teeth, it's not white. When everyone finished eating and began to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Lu Xingyi's hand was only half small.

After she was overwhelmed, Song Huaishu pulled out the dumplings in her hand and helped her clean her two oily little paws before carrying her out of the car.

Lu Xingyi, who was full of food and drink, leaned on Song Huaishu's arms, touched his bulging little belly like a little adult, grinned at Song Huaishu, and shouted, 'Da Da'. The soft and cute little appearance, Song Huaishu who saw it was happy in his heart.

……

The rain continued until the time of the unitary, and Lu Changgen and his wife were worried about Lu Yingchun at home, and when they saw that the rain stopped, they left Lu Zheng'an's house.

After the two of them had walked for half an hour, Song Lanshi remembered the package that they had forgotten, and hurriedly asked Lu Zhengan and Song Huaishu to chase after them and send them over.
