Madam, go home and farm

Chapter 142 Disaster
Several clan elders in Lizheng and so on all took a look at Mrs. Lu. They are old and refined, so they can't see their plans, but psychologically speaking, Hong Hao'an is a better person. If Hong Haobao's child is entrusted to him, I believe he will If it can be raised well, even if it is not promising, it will not grow crooked.

How could Hong Hao'an not understand what Lizheng and the others thought, but Puhuang didn't like it, and he felt bad about it, and so many people in the village looked at it, it wasn't his own child, he couldn't beat him or scold him, it wasn't so awkward, Besides, it's not like he won't have children in the future.

Although some brothers died early, it is normal for other brothers to help raise the children, but their family’s situation is different, they are not pure enough, and they are prone to problems. Now Hong Haocheng also agrees to raise them, and he is happy to let go. Take it too far.

After various thoughts rolled in his mind, Hong Hao'an slowly said: "Li Zheng, since the third brother and the third younger sibling are willing to take care of them, let them go. My health is almost in good shape now, and it will be sooner or later to have a child." I always feel that it is not suitable."

Li Zheng and the others looked at it, and sighed too. In Hong Haoan's previous situation, it was normal for him to make such a decision. He sighed, "Since you have already decided, I won't say much. Haocheng , have you really thought about it? I heard that you have opened a store in the city, so you will have time to take care of your children?"

Mrs. Lu smiled, "Lizheng, there are two servants here to help. Don't worry, I will never abuse my nephew. If you are worried, you can go and have a look at it some time later."

That being the case, Li Zheng didn't want to say anything more, since the brothers could come to an agreement and not fight to the death like other families, he was just Li Zheng, so he couldn't control so much.

Now that an agreement was reached, Li Zheng wrote down several contracts one by one, then stamped them and put them away separately.Since the child is brought up by Hong Haocheng, he will temporarily manage the old house, as well as the fields, and what to do with it is his business.

As soon as the matter was settled, the gossip in the village still persisted. The main reason was that the Xia family ran away with Wang Er, where they are now, what life they are living and so on.Some women even said it in a serious way, where did they see the Xia family, so what?

However, as the temperature continues to rise, the water in the paddy fields gradually evaporates, and the land becomes dry and cracked. It is the time when the rice is earing, and rain will definitely affect the millet harvest.

In just two days, two or three fights in the small ditch broke out in the village, and Lizheng was too busy to touch the ground.Fortunately, there is a river passing by in the village. Every morning, a large group of people carry water for irrigation. In the evening, if they do this again, they are exhausted.

Although they were allocated a few mu of land, it was Hong Haoping's land that was planted at the beginning. Now the couple are busy from dawn to dusk. The children are locked in the house, and Puhuang shakes his head when he sees it. Such a desperate couple are too honest.

At the beginning of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, Hong Hao'an entered the county seat to send a package of dried fish formula powder, and at the same time went to the county government office to discuss matters with Lu Yuan.The drought this time happened within the entire Spring City, not just Bihu County, so the prefect was too busy, let alone catch Lu Yuan's mistake.

Although there are many rivers and lakes in Bihu County, there are no waterwheels everywhere that Puhuang saw. At first, she thought it was because this place was unpopular, but she never thought that she hadn't invented it. She wondered the reason for it. It's not clear, so even if she has an idea, she can't say a thing or two.

But to Puhuang's surprise, the discussion between Nalu County Magistrate and Hong Haoan was actually related to this waterwheel. Although the water level of the river has dropped a little, it is not yet bottomed out, but there is no way to stand on the bank casually. It can lift water in one touch.

Lu Yuan summoned a lot of carpenters, and hurriedly drove out a water truck, and tested it immediately. Although it could not be perfected, it was quite labor-saving for the villagers, and it was able to turn the water tanks in the lower places The water is sent to high places, which alone is very popular.

After the water truck was set up in the river in the village, Puhuang was so surprised that she didn't know what to say. She didn't expect it to come out. Maybe the county magistrate also wore it, but it didn't look like it. Maybe she thought too much. Alright.

After finally passing the rice filling period, there is still no sign of rain, but the rice is slowly turning yellow, bending down, and seeing that it is not much different from previous years, most farmers are relieved.But the county magistrate didn't let go, and Hong Hao'an was also called to help, mainly to find experienced farmers to figure out whether there would be a heavy rain.

Generally speaking, droughts are followed by heavy rains, and there is no room for negligence for a moment. If he does not make preparations in advance, he will lose his black hat as the county magistrate.Lu Yuan copied some things from his ancestral book, and then discussed with Hong Haoan to formulate various possible countermeasures.

Because of the appearance of the waterwheel, the magistrate no longer pressed Lu Yuan so hard, of course, he did not give him any credit.Spring City, under the prefect's jurisdiction, has a lot of fields around it. He didn't take Lu Yuan's words about the rainstorm to heart.

Ordinary people naturally don't know much about the game between the county magistrate and the magistrate, but because of the waterwheel, most people think that this county magistrate is a good county magistrate who truly loves the people. Correspondingly, Lu Yuan's prestige among the people has also risen. Quite a lot.

There are still two days before the best time to harvest rice, but Lu Yuan felt uneasy, so he went to Mr. Geography, and then to the old farmer, and he said that before June [-], all the rice should be harvested, otherwise the loss would be unpredictable .

While others were busy with the rice fields, Puhuang was busy with peanuts and corn. Through Hong Hao'an, she knew a lot. She kept going to and from the mountains, collecting firewood just in case.

The people in the village knew Puhuang's strength, and suddenly she became a hot commodity. Many people asked her to help harvest rice, and the wages were quite a lot, but Puhuang didn't agree.She had a premonition that this year's grain prices would definitely rise, so when Mrs. Chen and Widow Qiu proposed using rice as wages, she readily agreed. Of course, one of the reasons was that they were acquaintances.

In the fields, it was busy and full of enthusiasm, and even the children who used to run around also went to the fields, their little faces were sullen, and the work they did might not be as much as adults, but the accumulation of small amounts of work should not be underestimated.

In fact, it was not wrong to expect that the heavy rain came two days later than expected. At that time, most people in the village had already collected the rice from the field, and most of them were slightly dried, at least not because it was too late. It also germinates when dried.

It rained at night, and there were thunder and lightning. Looking from the patio, half of the sky was illuminated. The lightning was very dazzling, and the sound of thunder seemed to be ringing in the ears, which was very frightening.Puhuang's mental power protruded out of the house, and the torrential rain the size of soybeans poured down, which was mixed with many storms. Under the light of the lightning, the whole river was like a black dragon. Down, brought all kinds of garbage, slowly rose up, and there is a tendency to spread out of the river.

Pu Huang told Hong Haoan about the situation outside, feeling a little worried, "The rain is too heavy and the river is swollen. I suspect the embankment will collapse."

Hong Haoan turned around, "Don't worry too much, I have been discussing these things with Runzhi before, and I have mentioned it to the Lizhengs in various villages, let them pay attention, and I have prepared for it, if there is a breach of the embankment happen, they will also organize the transfer of people.”

"Hope, in the face of natural disasters, people are always so small." Pu Huang said in a low voice, thinking of the past life, the end of the world is not the emergence of zombies, but natural mutations, various disasters occur frequently, and I don't know which link happened Make mistakes, and animals and plants mutate.

"My lady, I'll be fine, don't worry." Hong Hao'an put his arms around Puhuang's waist, and pulled her into his arms. After so long, she finally got used to his arms. This process was extremely difficult.Thinking of his legs being healed, as long as he hugs Puhuang, he will inevitably suffer some skin and flesh pains. Of course, this is not intentional by Puhuang, and he is still a little depressed.

Pu Huang didn't speak, and leaned against Hong Hao'an's arms. She is now used to this embrace, this temperature, this heartbeat, and her heart is very peaceful. Maybe she is thinking too much, this is just an ordinary natural disaster, nothing will happen mutation happened.

Hong Haoan caressed Puhuang's back with his hands, and could feel her uneasiness.
