Chapter 147: Chaoxia doesn’t go out
A loud hoarse humming sound came from the room.
Fan Damu looked towards the window.
"Don't worry about it. It's not her turn as a woman to make the decision in this family!" Fan Qian said coldly.
And the person who annoyed him the most was now hoarse and it was difficult for him to say a decent word, which saved him a lot of trouble.
It's not completely bad to be poisoned by this potato. The only bad thing is that his body is weak, and he doesn't know how his four sons are... By the way, can this potato poison vary from person to person...
Fan Damu complimented: "It's still cousin, you have authority, you have the final say at home, and you are the well-deserved head of the family.
Unlike Wang Mazi, he can't control his son and daughter-in-law, so useless."
Fan Qian was complimented and smug on his face, and he was very happy.
He patted his chest to reassure Fan Damu.
Seeing that the purpose of this trip was achieved, Fan Damu's eyes rolled around and he stood up to say goodbye.
He said it was better to be prepared.
It would be best if there was no heavy rain. If it did, he would not be afraid. He had Fan Qian's brick house, which was much better than the adobe houses of the villagers.
Others had spent a lot of effort and money to build houses, which were just for sheltering from the rain. He had a place to hide from the rain without spending any money. The difference was obvious.
·
If it didn't rain, there would be no mushrooms.
The potatoes were harvested. The villagers either hurried to cut some thatch or cut some grass to store for the rabbits.
The families who exchanged rabbits had already had dozens of rabbits, big and small, in just over two months.
There were only four families in the village who did not raise rabbits.
Fan Damu, Wang Mazi and Zhang Tuzi refused to exchange. Fan's mother wanted to exchange rabbits, but she saw that all the rabbits were male rabbits and returned them.
When the second exchange was made, the whole family, except Fan Zhaodi, was knocked down by the sprouting potatoes.
Fan Zhaodi was an eight-year-old girl. She boiled water, cooked, washed clothes, wiped her body, and took care of the vegetable garden and ducks and geese. She had no time to cut grass and feed rabbits.
Fan Qian and Fan Dazhu finally planted the fields and all lay at home waiting for Fan Zhaodi to serve them. They were determined not to raise rabbits - it was okay to raise them, anyway, they didn't do it.
So the four families were the most idle.
Zhang Tuzi had the best mentality. When his wife cooked, he would get up to eat. If there was a family gossip, he would run over on tiptoe to watch the fun. If there was no family gossip, he would lie at home.
Wang Mazi was still unwilling. After the family was divided, he would go to his son and daughter-in-law's door and scold them whenever he had time!
It was as ugly as it could be!
His son and daughter-in-law came out to defend themselves at first, but later found that their father-in-law was different from others. The more they talked to him, the more excited he became, so they closed the door and ignored him.
Fan Qian and Fan Damu were the most unwilling among them.
After lunch and dinner, the whole village wandered around and said to everyone they met: "The families who planted potatoes have lost money! How much more harvest would they have gotten if they harvested ten days or half a month later."
"Other families are big and powerful, so losing a little food is not a big deal, but for us, food is our life! How can we not feel bad?"
"Everyone, look at the sunset in the sky. The sunset travels thousands of miles. Tomorrow will be a good day. How can there be a heavy rain and flood?"
When the villagers heard this, some stopped and smiled before walking away, while others did not even stop and walked away.
We are all adults, and we are not being asked to harvest potatoes with a knife on our necks. We have our own decisions to make. What is there to complain about?
Besides, potatoes are different from rice. Rice is harvested early, and the ears are not full. What is harvested is all chaff and cannot be eaten.
They saw the harvested potatoes with their own eyes. The big ones are bigger than fists, and the small ones are about the size of eggs. The yield per mu is 1,300 to 500 mu. What is there to be dissatisfied with? !
Anyway, if it were them, they would be enjoying themselves at home now, and they wouldn't care about the loss of the harvest.
Early in the morning on the third day after harvesting the potatoes, Shuiqing opened the door, looked at the brilliant and magnificent glow in the sky, and praised: "The morning glow is so beautiful!"
Then he saw Fan Jin harnessing a bullock cart in the yard, and asked puzzledly: "Why are you harnessing a cart?"
They had gone to the city for nothing before harvesting potatoes.
The cows and donkeys were very useful when harvesting potatoes a few days ago, and they thought that the two animals were tired, so they gave them a few days to rest.
It's not even three days since the rest, why are they harnessing a cart to work again?
The key is that there is no work that needs cows to do at home.
Fan Jin pointed at the glow in the sky, and then replied: "I will go with Wenhua to pick up my parents.
They must have a lot of things at home, and I'm afraid they are reluctant to leave any of them behind."
Shuiqing looked at the glow and didn't understand for a while.
"Did you and Wenhua agree?"
When did it happen? I haven't been to the city for more than ten days.
I haven't even left Shanshui Village!
Only Li Huyu came again in a hurry, sent a few boxes of gold, silver, and pearls to help keep, and left the same day - it was impossible for him to help carry the letter in such a hurry.
Fan Jin, who was trying hard to see if the hemp rope he brought was firm, heard Shuiqing's confused tone, put down his work, and explained seriously: "The evening glow travels thousands of miles, and the morning glow does not go out.
The evening glow indicates that the next day will be sunny, and the morning glow means that it will rain heavily."
Shuiqing: ... When she was a child, she learned about ants moving, earthworms leaving holes, dragonflies flying low, and fish floating on the water to breathe.
When she grew up, she just looked at the weather forecast.
It's true that everyone learns different things.
"Auntie, auntie, hurry up and get a basin! No, do you have a bucket? I need a big bucket!" Bai Ziqian rushed in with a fishing net in his hand, and his childish face was excited and excited.
Fan Jiang, Fan He and Fan Hu followed behind, who were equally excited.
Shui Qing saw the fishing net in Bai Ziqian's hand, how could she not understand?
Before, their family relied on Li Hu Yu to have endless fish to eat every day, and later they made the leftovers into smoked and salted fish, and there are still some left.
She asked knowingly: "What are you going to do?"
Fan Jiang, Fan He and Fan Hu behind them shrank their heads, acting like ostriches.
Bai Ziqian raised his chin proudly and said proudly: "Aunt, you don't know, those fish are so stupid!
All of them floated to the surface and blew bubbles. Don't you think they are waiting for people to catch them?
Quick, let's catch them quickly, otherwise if people in the village find out later, we won't be able to catch them!"
Shuiqing: ".....You are stupid! That's because it's going to rain!"
Bai Ziqian didn't understand. His round eyes were as ignorant as Shuiqing's before: "It's going to rain, why do they float on the water and blow bubbles? Isn't it more dangerous?"
Shuiqing wanted to say that there was nothing she could do about the fish. Before the rain, the air pressure in the water was low and less oxygen was dissolved. The fish could only float to the surface to breathe - not blow bubbles, but breathe!
But she couldn't tell them this. She waved her hand: "I'll go with you. Let's catch more and keep them for the next few days to have fresh fish to eat."
Hearing that A Niang didn't blame them, but wanted to go fishing with them, Jiang Hehu and Hu jumped up happily.
Here, Fan Jin harnessed the ox cart and headed to Niutou Town without delay.
