Splendid Pastoral: The Strong and Hot Wife

Chapter 127

After Xu Xiaomi finished talking to Xu Yaowu, she went to another house. She heard the sound of the rake scraping the ground. It was obvious that it was because she couldn't see that she kept scraping the ground.

Xu Xiaomi followed the voice and walked over. It turned out that the widow Qian was busy harvesting wheat alone.

Xu Xiaomi walked over and called, "Grandma Qian! Are all yours here?"

When Qian heard someone calling him, he quickly turned around and agreed, "Hey! My wife is alone, that's all!"

Xu Xiaomi took a closer look, and there were only three baskets!This is a year's ration!If it is damaged by the rain, what should the old man do this year?
Seeing that her eyes were wet, Xu Xiaomi hurriedly called out, "Fourth Uncle! Bring someone to help!"

The fourth uncle replied: "Hey! Here we come!"

Xu Xiaomi waited for the fourth uncle to come over with an apprentice, and helped Granny Qian carry the wheat to the specially built grain storage house in the village before leaving.

Qian was very grateful to them, Xu Xiaomi just told her to go home quickly.

Only then did Xu Xiaomi notice that as soon as his father Xu Erqiang arrived at the drying yard, he disappeared!

So she searched all over the drying yard, and finally found him among a large pile of straw.

Look again, it turns out that this is the wheat from Old Man Xu's family.Old man Xu was tying up a bundle of straw.

Xu Xiaomi looked at it and thought to himself: Their family has more than [-] mu of land, so there should be more than these wheat accumulations, right?
She looked at Old Man Xu and asked, "Grandpa! Is that all you have in your house?"

Old man Xu laughed when he saw Xu Xiaomi's old eyes, and when he heard Xu Xiaomi ask himself, he hurriedly replied: "Hey! Not only that, they are harvesting the ground ones, and there are still about ten acres in the field!"

Xu Xiaomi wondered why old man Xu didn't say that your grandma and auntie were collecting, but said them.Probably because I was afraid that Xu Xiaomi would not like to listen to it!

Xu Xiaomi heard more than that from him, so she felt relieved and said: That's it!That's right!With so many fields, no matter how low the yield is, it won't be over with more than 20 baskets, right?

With the participation of Xu Xiaomi's uncles, the old man Xu's family soon cleaned up all the wheat and even the wheat accumulation.

There was still the sound of several rakes raking the ground in the drying yard, so Xu Xiaomi mobilized everyone to help.

Because Xu Dashan had a lot of fields and a lot of wheat in his family, the rain became heavier and heavier in the end. Although everyone came to help, they still got a little wet.

It was raining and windy, and the torch in Xu Xiaomi's hand was destroyed by the wind and rain, and finally went out!

Everyone braved the rain and walked in the muddy water. The rain poured down from their heads. From time to time, everyone used their hands to wipe the rainwater from their faces and eyes, so that the eyes could see the road.

The people at home who were waiting for them to go home for dinner did not come back after waiting for a long time.I saw the rain pouring down like a splash.

Grandpa Zhou Xuewu and Qiu Qiming brought their two cousins ​​and brought them coir raincoats and cloaks in the rain.

Because it was raining heavily and the sky was dark, the four of them walked in the rain holding hands.

Xu Xiaomi and the others walked to the door of Xu Yaowu's house with the villagers, and met relatives who came to return them the rain gear.

Everyone put on their coir raincoats and cloaks, and they all walked back through the slippery and rotten mud hand in hand.

This night, the rain continued to fall, and finally there was a rumbling thunder.

When it was ugly, Xu Xiaomi couldn't fall asleep anymore, so she turned over.Put on your clothes and rain gear and go out.

Her eyes see at night as in day, so she will not lose her way when she walks in the woods.

Xu Xiaomi first came to the place where the five people were placed, late at night!They also fell asleep in the tree house they built by themselves. She stood outside everyone's house and heard snoring before leaving in peace.

When she went, she could still hear the rustling of dead branches and fallen leaves under her feet.However, when I went back, there was the sound of stepping on stagnant water.

Xu Xiaomi felt that a mountain torrent was about to erupt, so she hurried to the door of Xu Yaowu's house and shouted loudly: "Uncle! Open the door! Uncle! Open the door!"

Xu Yaowu, who has been full for several days, is sleeping soundly now!Accompanied by the sound of rain, it can be heard there!
Xu Xiaomi yelled more than a dozen times but nothing happened, so she had to find a way to open the gates of the ditches on both sides of the Daqing River.

It was pitch black outside, Xu Xiaomi was covered with rain on the muddy ground, Xu Xiaomi was so shocked that goosebumps covered his body.

She has never experienced floods in her past and present lives, so she can only figure out what to do if she encounters a situation today!

When Xu Xiaomi came to the river, she saw that the river was almost overflowing to the wooden floor of the mill.

Xu Xiaomi didn't think much, and hurried to the gate of the ditch, but, she was stunned!How could she open the arm-thick iron chain on the gate?However, seeing that the river is about to overflow the mill, what should we do?
She didn't have any extra time to think about it. After being stunned for five seconds, Xu Xiaomi jumped into the ditch and grabbed the iron chain with her hand, and pulled it out with all her strength, only to hear the rattle on the wooden door.

The rain hurt her face and penetrated into her eyes. She reached out to touch it, and continued to pull the iron chain vigorously.

When Xu Xiaomi pulled seven or eight times with all her strength, she wanted to give up.However, when she thought that there were still many people on both sides of the river whose wheat hadn't been harvested, she reminded herself that she must not give up.

So, the last time I used too much force, I only heard a bang, and Xu Xiaomi fell into the mud in the ditch with the iron chain on.

Although there was no pain from the fall, she fell into the mud on her ass.She didn't care, got up and went ashore and pulled open the [-]-jin gate, which normally required two adults and their strength to pull it open.

He went to the ditch on the other side, jumped into the ditch, pulled the iron chain that was as thick as an arm, and pulled it hard towards the empty space.

Finally, under Xu Xiaomi's spirit of not giving up, she pulled away the iron chains that locked the gates on both sides.

Xu Xiaomi also opened the heavy gate, watching the rushing river rushing in with white waves.Xu Xiaomi sat on the shore and breathed a sigh of relief, the rain kept pouring down.

Xu Xiaomi was extremely thirsty, she stuck out her tongue and licked the rainwater that flowed to her mouth, feeling that it was sweet.

Xu Xiaomi was tired of sitting on the muddy ground, so she dragged her stiff legs back home!

At this moment, lightning and thunder rumbled in the sky, and when it was daylight, a thunderclap crackled.Xu Yaowu woke up from his sleep.

I heard the rain splashing down from the eaves of the house, and the tiles of the house were still crackling by the rain.

I thought to myself: Oh!I can finally sleep in. After being tired for so long, I just finished cutting all the wheat yesterday afternoon, and it rained at night!

let's go!let's go!I can sleep well too!

After thinking about it, he turned over and put his leg on his wife He Yuer's lap!He Yu'er fell into a drowsy sleep, and suddenly felt something pressed on her leg.

He murmured: "Sir, don't make trouble, let me sleep for a while, alas! Fortunately, we worked hard the past few days, otherwise the rain would have flooded the good wheat in the river!"

Xu Yaowu also replied proudly: "Yes! Don't you want to drown...? Yan..."

When Xu Yaowu himself said Yanzi, he was so startled that he couldn't sleep anymore, he turned up from the bed, put on his clothes and ran out.

He Yuer was too scared by her husband to sleep, she sat on the bed and lazily shouted: "Hey! Where are you going? It's raining so much?"

Xu Yaowu hurriedly found the rain gear and replied: "I have to go and open the gate of the ditch. It has been raining so hard all night, and the river may have overflowed the girl's mill by now, and the river must be flooded. It sucks!"

Xu Yaowu himself was already frightened, this is the harvest season, but this sloppy... Alas!

I don't know how much wheat will be lost at this time?Afterwards, I don't know how many people will come to their own homes to make trouble?This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is, how many people would object to the girl building a mill by the river?

It's all my own oversight!I don't know if the lime kiln in the girl's house can be saved?

Xu Yaowu rolled and crawled with guilt, and ran on the soft soil after a night of heavy rain.

He is really pitiful!The muddy road was very slippery, and he ran forward impatiently. After running two steps, his foot slipped, and his body tilted and fell to the ground. He got up and continued to run forward. The rain penetrated his cloak , He was completely soaked and he still didn't know it.

When he ran to the mill like this, he saw that in the turbulent and turbid river water of the ditches on both sides, two five-centimeter-thick gates were forcefully opened and two big holes were opened.

Xu Yaowu immediately sat down on the muddy ground and laughed out loud!
He didn't feel any pain when the rain hit his upturned face.He laughed until he burst into tears.

He was a little overwhelmed by the drenching, so he got up and walked to the mill of Xu Xiaomi's house to shelter from the rain.

During this period, the thunder and lightning never stopped.

Xu Yaowu saw that the river flowed to the gourd mouth of the river below the mill, so he diverted two-thirds of the water to the ditches on both sides. The river below the gourd mouth was still as peaceful as usual, but the water was mixed with sand and the color of the water was It's more cloudy.

At this time, Xu Yaowu didn't mention how much he was grateful to Xu Xiaomi for such a design. In previous years, this time and the time of harvesting rice were the times he was most worried about.

The water of the Daqing River rises three times a year. Except for the first spring tide, every time the water rises is during the harvest season.Moreover, it is unavoidable that every year if a lot of food received is flooded, the villagers will have a hard time without food. Xu Yaowu feels distressed when he sees this truth.

Now, Xu Xiaomi has divided the river into three streams, and the river is no longer narrow. Moreover, there is no need to go to Qinglong Town, which is fifteen miles away, to grind noodles and extract oil.

Xu Yaowu thought to himself: Let the people in the village thank you girl!This year, the food of all families has not been flooded by the river, and it is all thanks to the girl!
