Hard times have room

Chapter 215 Drizzle and Breeze
The rain was as expected by Pauline. The family of three had just finished their meal when the heavy rain turned to light rain. The light rain gradually stopped after a while. After the rain stopped, the dark clouds dissipated and the sun reappeared in front of the people.

After the wind and rain, there is a rainbow. This time the rainbow is hanging over the Daqingling Mountain. People in Shanghe Village can see it as soon as they look up when they go out of the house.

However, except for a little girl like Pauline, other people really don't feel this thing. If it is not eaten or drunk properly, wouldn't it be more colorful?What's so strange, I've seen it a lot since I was a kid.

Although the rain is not the right time, it is not without any benefits. At least it is much cooler now. Those who are used to taking a lunch break can get a good night's sleep after the rain, including Pauline of course.

In the past, she rarely took a lunch break, because she felt that she had enough sleep at night and didn't need it at noon, but since she started to work after the holiday, she basically took a nap at noon every day. I feel like I will be out of energy in the afternoon.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the bell for work rang on time, and everyone walked out of the house with the things they would need to work later.

Pauline walked behind her parents and silently followed to Shiqiao.

This afternoon's task is to dig the vines and weeds in the sweet potato field. As for the original summer harvest, it is impossible to continue.

One is that it rained heavily at noon, and although the sun came out later, the ground was still wet, and there was no place to dry after the rice was hit!
Another is a heavy rain, which not only moisturised the long-dry fields, but also caused water to accumulate in the paddy fields.

The paddy that had been sun-dried in the past was also arranged to be disposed of, and it was re-dried and sifted again. It will sprout, and then it will be bad.

This afternoon, Pauline felt that her waist was about to break, and sometimes she would squat down unconsciously. It was so hard to bend down that she felt her brain was congested, which was really a headache.

In Bao Lin's headache, the first day of summer harvest in Shanghe Village in [-] passed like an anticlimactic.

The next day, early in the morning, when the sky was still slightly bright, Pauline forced herself to get up. Today, she was going to do the same thing as yesterday, Xia Shou.

She picked up the ears of rice by herself, so she was making soy sauce!It's not too tired, but her parents really need to work hard. This breakfast must be eaten by seven or eight minutes!

Otherwise, you will have no energy to work, your stomach will growl, and you will feel uncomfortable working on an empty stomach.

Pauline poured the peas soaked last night into the pot, added a ladle and a half of water, lit a handful of pine needles with a match, and placed small branches. In this weather, the water is easy to boil.

When the water boiled, Pauline took out the rice she put in last night from the cupboard and poured it into the pot. There was not much rice, so just a handful, but the porridge tasted much better after adding rice.

After that, I went to the back room, picked two handfuls of sweet potato leaves, and one of the ginger and garlic leaves, washed them, and cut them into two-finger shapes. When the porridge was taken out, I added water and scalded the sweet potato leaves.

Take a small bowl, first put chopped sauerkraut in it, then two spoonfuls of moldy beans, then put ginger leaves and garlic leaves, pour a little peanut oil and salt, stir well, and mix it with the blanched sweet potato leaves, This is the side dish of porridge in the morning.

If she gets up late in the morning, there will only be pickled pickles and fermented moldy beans. Just add some chili and oil and mix it. It's very simple.

"Jingle Bell--"

The family had just finished breakfast when the bell rang.

The harvest this morning was very smooth. It was a sunny day and there was no rain. Although it would be very hot and tiring, this pain and tiring was nothing compared to the joy of the harvest.

But the afternoon was unsatisfactory. Because of Xia Shou, the original work time at five o'clock was changed to three o'clock. Xia Shou was racing against time to compete with God for time. Yesterday was because of the heavy rain, which changed. The original rhythm, this will be the exception, today is the norm during the summer harvest.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was first hidden behind a few naughty white clouds. At three o'clock, when I looked up, the white clouds had turned into dark clouds, but there were only a few of them, and experienced farmers would know that , this cloud can see what kind of climate it can't make.

However, when the cloud came out at this critical time, it was very uncomfortable. After the dark cloud came out of the team leader Xu Aiguo, his mind was fixed on the cloud in the sky. , The incident happened a few times yesterday, and he had to be nerfed by the torment.

After four o'clock, there were more dark clouds in the sky. Although there was no sky that looked dark, it made people feel uneasy, not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

He was really frightened by what happened yesterday. After discussing it with Party Secretary, the two decided to send someone back to collect the paddy first, especially those that had been exposed to the sun for several hours. Those rice, it would be a shame if these rice got wet.

Xu Aiguo was completely frightened when he saw that the sky was getting darker and darker. He quickly ordered more than a dozen people to go back and help bring all the rice in the sun terrace to the warehouse.

Anyway, it's past four o'clock now. If it doesn't rain, I'll spread it out tomorrow and then bask in the sun. If it rains, how much loss and trouble will he have to save with this early move!

This year has already been difficult, and he doesn't want to let the food that is bound to come to his pocket fly away. If it really does, he won't be able to sleep peacefully at night.

In the countryside, food is their lifeblood.

After five o'clock in the afternoon, the rain really came again, which completely convinced the villagers who were still dissatisfied with Xu Aiguo's careful handling. They originally thought that he was too timid and delayed the summer harvest. The villagers who complained also shut their mouths. After all, the facts are in front of them. His actions were right, but it was himself. It's smart and thinks a lot.

Today's rain is not like yesterday's. It suddenly hits like a gust of wind and rain, giving people a sense of no weakness. Compared with yesterday's, today's rain can even be called mild and warm. A fingernail-sized raindrop hits you, not very fast, giving people plenty of time to go home.

When it rained, it was a whole night, and it didn't turn into a fine drizzle until dawn.
