Tsundere general's peasant wife

Chapter 306 No rain for half a year

Lanzi and Mrs. Qi took Xiaobao together and brought it to the living room to meet the ceremony. Everyone came forward to make fun of it. If you say good things, you don’t need money to say it. People with good relationships naturally have gifts for their children. hang!
Mrs. Qi and Lan Zi couldn't stop expressing thanks and answering after this fight!

After the banquet in the main hall, Lanzi, Mrs. Qi and others still have an important ceremony to do!Full Moon Shaving!
Qi Ming was already waiting in the furnished room!
He took his son over and hugged him in his arms. Xiaobao started to cry non-stop as soon as he changed hands. The master shaving his head was very experienced. He wiped a handful of pre-chewed tea leaves on Xiaobao's head. I also read:

"The God of matcha before shaving, there will be no sores in the future, and the hair that grows will be as thick as a tea tree."

Then he told Qi Ming to hold the child firmly, let the child step on the red cloth bag holding green onions and kidney beans, and shave steadily while chanting jargon and blessings!

Little Treasure's lanugo was not completely shaved, but a round shape was left on the top of his head, and a pinch of hair the size of a copper coin was left on the back of his head!This is commonly known as filial piety!It means growing up, being filial and sensible.

After finishing the work, the shaving master asked Qi Ming to open the red cloth bag that the child stepped on just now, and planted the green onions and kidney beans wrapped inside to the ground, which heralded the child's wisdom, luck and good fortune.

After doing this, the last step is to set up the child's shaved hair as a sacrifice to the gods. After asking the gods and ancestors to bless them, all the rituals are considered over.

Mrs. Qi prepared a thick red envelope for the old man who shaved his head. The older the old man was, the healthier his children would be. There is a folk saying, so after the old man packed up his belongings and handed over the red envelope, Mrs. Qi personally sent him out went.

Lanzi looked at Xiaobao, who was a little languid because of the fuss, and hugged Qiming in his arms distressedly, saying:
"I won't take him out to meet guests, you have accompanied the guests well!"

Qi Ming reached out to embrace his wife and son, and said with a smile, "Don't worry! You just go back and have a good rest! Spend more time with your mother-in-law and younger siblings! I'll come back later to accompany you!"

"it is good!"

'Know--'

After the summer, the weather became hotter and hotter, and when I knew it, my back seemed to be scorched by the hot sun, and I screamed desperately.

Sanyue stretched out her hand and held a lotus leaf-sized leaf above her head to cover the sun, she stretched out her hand to wipe off the sweat from time to time, and walked hurriedly by the river, thinking that it would be cooler when she went to the mountain.

The river used to swell up every summer during the rainy season, but now the water level is much lower. There is a child with bare buttocks who keeps splashing in the water, and the splash of water reflects a burst of coolness.

Sanyue looked at the small river eagerly and discouraged, and felt infinitely sad: If only he was a boy, he would have to soak in the water all day without getting out.

He lowered his head to look at the heavy one after another on his body, resignedly looked at the mountain not far away, and stepped up his pace.

When passing by a field, I happened to run into Li Zheng leading a few village men, with a copy of the guy in his hand, walking over noisily.

San Yue stepped forward and took the leaf off his head and asked Li Zheng:
"Uncle Lizheng! What are you doing here, you guys!"

Li was walking with his head in his mind, and he frowned and ignored the noise from the people behind him. He was suddenly called out, and when he looked up, it was March. Li Zheng's frowning brows relaxed slightly, and he showed a slightly bitter smile. said:
"Oh! It hasn't rained for nearly half a year. The river water in our village is getting less and less. That Zhuangzi village is at the head of the river, and the river was blocked yesterday. Isn't this preventing us from using water? I don't have a few Going to talk to them personally in the village is just right, you can't do this!"

March frowned, is it so dry that people can block the river?
"Uncle Zheng, please pay attention to safety. If you can say it well, don't touch the guy! It's not good for anyone to get hurt!"

Li Zheng nodded hastily, said a few more words to Sanyue, and led the people away in a hurry with a wave of his hand.

Although March didn't plant land, she still relied on the mountains to eat the mountains. If it didn't rain for a year, would all the trees on the mountains dry up to death?What about her workshop?
Thinking of this possibility, Sanyue threw away the leaves and ran towards the mountain in big strides. We'll have to see if it has any effect!
In the mountains, the lush trees, half-person-high grass, unknown and lush wild flowers, and the rabbits and pheasants running around seem to be isolated from the outside world, living their own free life.

Looking at the unaffected mountains and forests in Sanyue, the tight tone in her heart was completely relieved.

While sizing up the situation in the mountain, she stretched out her hand and pulled a leaf off, rubbed it with both hands, and looked at the green sap stained in her hands, Sanyue felt concerned, not because the mountain was magical, but because there must be something underground. water!Enough to supply the forest with moisture!
Think of the possibility!The mood in March completely cast aside the depression when I came here, and became full of energy!marvelous!
Knowing that my mother was still worried, Sanyue didn't stay too long, locked the door of the mountain forest, and went home happily.

Looking at the grain in the big urn in the kitchen, Mrs. Zhou thought about how much grain to buy!There is little land at home, and now we are experiencing drought, it is safer to prepare some!

If I bought too much in the second half of the year, there would be plenty of rain, and the price of food would increase a lot. If I bought too little, the price of grain would increase a lot. In the previous post, I mentioned that her parents wanted to increase the price of food.
I was hesitating, thinking that it would be nice to have someone to discuss with, and it happened to be back in March.

"Mom! I'm back! Let me tell you! The mountain is not affected at all, it should be"

Mrs. Zhou came out of the kitchen with a lot of white flour on her body, but she didn't care about beating her, so she interrupted Sanyue and said:

"March! You said that our family doesn't have much food. It's time to buy food. Let your father buy according to the usual amount or prepare more! You usually have more ideas, you think about it!"

March was taken aback!Time to buy food?Thinking of the falling water level just passing by the river, Li Zheng was anxious, looked up at the scorching sun, but there was no sign of rain.

"Mom! Dad and Second Sister are both busy at the workshop. Don't wait for Dad to go. I'll go buy food. I'll see how the food prices are so I can have a better idea!"

"Go now?"

Sanyue nodded and walked to the backyard, explaining to her mother:
"Mom, clean up our utility room! I have a lot of food to buy, and it will take up a lot of space! By the way, how about we dig a cellar in the future! I'll talk about it when I come back!"

Mrs. Zhou hastily packed out two flour bags, thinking that the food bought in March would be useful, but after chasing them out, March had long since disappeared.

"This kid has become very hot now"

There is no need to worry about leaving the village in March, let the bullock cart go slowly all the way.

The trees on both sides of the road are not as lucky as the trees in the mountains.
