Chapter 75: drought

I have to say that Li Qinghe felt very happy when she heard her father say this.
Although subsidizing him did not want him to return, it was still quite clear to not use her subsidy to help Zhao Wanwan.
The Qian was silent all the way until he entered the woods. Zhou Chengkang saw a splash of color flying over there with sharp eyes, and he chased him with a bow and arrow. He did not forget to say, "Qinghe, wait here. I."
Li Fu recently saw this battle with his son-in-law, and now he couldn't help chasing after him.
Only Qian Laoshi and her were left in the same place.
Li Qinghe found a place to sit down, the pheasant ran fast, and it only took a while if he could catch it, and he should be back soon.
"Do you hate me?" Qian looked at her.
"No hate." Li Qinghe said casually.
Qian didn't believe it, "I grabbed your mother's position, would you not hate me?"
"I didn't target you again." Li Qinghe raised his eyes and looked at her, "When did I deliberately feel sorry for you?"
Qian was dumb, not entangled in this issue, and said, "Your father will take care of Wanwan and Wanwan, and it will be good for him. If Yanxi is a talented talent, he will definitely not forget your father's benefits."
"Daughters are unreliable, and still want to rely on son-in-law, where do you have confidence?" Li Qinghe sneered, "My father is supported by me, and there is no lack of his filial piety. Similarly, it is his business that my father is happy to take care of them. If he is unwilling and you still want to be embarrassed, then I will not let you go."
The words were a bit sloppy, but Qian understood him, "You mean, don't agree with them coming back?"
When the words fell, the Weng and Son-in-law over there had already rushed back. Li Fu held a colorful pheasant in his hand and laughed, "Chengkang said, keep this chicken for yourself."
Li Qinghe smiled and said, "Very good."
Qian stopped talking. She seemed to not speak on purpose. Occasionally Li Fu asked about it, but she didn't answer. Anyway, as I personally knew, she was angry right now.
Li Fu talked to her twice, but she still ignored it, and didn't talk to her. When the firewood was cut, a few people went home together. At the foot of the mountain, Li Qinghe said, "Father, do you want to eat pheasant? Go back again."
Li Fu responded with a smile, but Qian did not turn his head back, and went straight to the village.
She left her, Li Qinghe didn't call her, and Zhou Chengkang wouldn't care anymore. Li Fu looked at her back, snorted, and walked in another direction with his daughter carrying the firewood.
The pheasant is stewed. Li Qinghe’s craftsmanship is very good. Weng and Son-in-law also brought out wine and talked a lot. They drank until it got late outside before they were finished. Li Fu went back by himself. Do not move.
He was a little drunk, and the two of them would be worried when they went back alone. Zhou Chengkang sent him back and helped him to bed.
When he came back, Li Qinghe was still feeding the fish at the door, smiling and asking, "Aunt Qian is still angry?"
Zhou Chengkang took the fish feed in her hand and shook her head, "I'm not at home, Daddy is asleep, don't worry."
In the following days, Qian still went to chop wood every day, but no longer talked to Li Qinghe and the others, and occasionally asked, she just gave up. As expected, Zhao Wanwan and the two came back. Perhaps they had heard about the payment of cash and returned to town the next day.
There were only two people left at home, and Qian became silent. Li Qinghe asked, even at home with Li Fu, she was also silent like this.
Although she didn't talk to Li Fu, Li Fu would be uncomfortable, but she should not be well.
Gradually in mid-May, Li Qinghe’s belly has slightly bulged. The weather this year is a bit different. There will be a few rains at this time in previous years. From February to the present, there are really only a few drops of rain. The rain that drenched the ground, that is, the water source in her yard was much smaller. In the paddy fields, the water dries quickly. Li Fu usually doesn't need to go to the fields often, and this year he will go once every two or three days.
More intuitively, the small river in the village where clothes are washed has dried up a lot.
That river is not just washing clothes, all the paddy fields of each house rely on the river. The fields dry quickly, and the villagers will block the water into the fields. As a result, the originally wide river is only a little bit of water left. Once it is flowing, the clothes can be washed directly in it before, but now if they are put directly, the clothes can directly touch the stones and soil in the water.
The elderly in the village all said that it was drought this year.
Drought will definitely affect the harvest in the field. Many people are worried. Fortunately, the sweet potato vines planted this year are still growing well. Li Qinghe is dividing the plants and cutting out the excess and returning it to dry. The people in the village will follow suit and cut back. Of course, I want to put them in the sun and feed them to pigs and chickens in the winter.
The weather is hot and the sun is scorching the earth. Going to the woods to chop wood can give you some shade. Under the heat, except for those who go out to do part-time jobs at this time in previous years, everyone else can take a break and wait for the autumn harvest, but this year I feel particularly anxious. , I went up to the mountain to chop wood when nothing happened, and the price of food in the town began to rise.
Upon seeing this, Li Qinghe went to the town especially with Zhou Chengkang and bought enough food for the two to eat for a year. One price a day, and on the third day after the two bought them, Yu Yan especially asked Zhou Chengkang to help her pull a car, and the price went up by two cents.
The food was placed directly in her new house, and Yu Yan frowned, "I'll move now."
Although she was in a hurry, Li Qinghe also agreed that it would be better for her to move first. She lives here. In fact, after digging a road from her chicken coop to the wasteland, she can go to the town directly from the door of Yang's house without passing by the village. On, so, if you want to prepare something to put at home, you won't let the villagers see it.
At the beginning of June, Yu Yan was happy to move, and many people came. Even if she has a lot of silver, the dishes are not very good. Compared with the people in the village, she is not reluctant, but the third aunt will not let it. The wheat in the field and the rice seedlings in the field have withered this year. The reduction in production is certain. If you can't eat it for everyone until next year, it's still a matter of two. At this time, you shouldn't let people know that you are rich.
After Yu Yan moved, she went back to town and bought a horse with a carriage. Fortunately, the various circles in her backyard were already prepared. Recently busy cleaning up the vegetable field.
The soil is deserted. After more than a month of drying, the can't dig at all. It's quite hard anyway. Besides, there is no water on her side.
In fact, many people in the village get their water from the well at the entrance of the village, and less than 30% of the people dig a well at home.
And moving here to live here is not just to spend money on the land and the house, it also costs a lot of money to drill a well. After Yu Yan asked Min Rui to pick water for a few days, she felt very inconvenient, and she had to save water. She gritted her teeth and asked someone to start drilling a well.
Although the two are neighbors, it still feels a bit far away to carry water.
Another inconvenience is that she and Min Rui were not married yet. When she moved in, Min Rui also moved in, which is equivalent to unmarried orphans living in a courtyard. You don't need to ask to know her reputation in the village now.
"I still have to get married." Yu Yan looked bitter, "I didn't expect to spend money like this, and I will run out of money."
Buying a carriage with a good carriage will cost about 50 cents. When I just built the house, I needed money everywhere. Li Qinghe also spent a lot of money at the beginning. He laughed and said, "It's all right after getting married."
Yu Yan began to prepare for the wedding again, and the wedding date was set at the end of June.
Recently, many people in the village have stayed in the fields all day long. Sooner or later, they ran to the creek to pick up water to pour the wheat, but they still couldn’t prevent it from drying up. The land near the water was a little better, more like Liqinghe. In that way, the seedlings quickly dried into hay. The sweet potato vines among the hay are still green even though they are dead.
Not only Luoyue Town, but also the county seat, there are many places where there is drought. Li Qinghe will know that it is because Linzhi County is here again.
When he came this time, there was no smile on his already serious complexion. He came quickly and walked quickly, not just looking at Li Qinghe's land, but also in the village.
When Yu Yan got married, more people came from the village. When helping to prepare vegetables, she could not help but talk about this year's drought. When she mentioned this, everyone began to sigh.
"I'm afraid that people will starve to death next year."
"The last drought was more than ten years ago. At that time, many people starved to death. The bark on the mountain was gnawed, and the roots of the grass were dug out and boiled..."
This is still a happy event, I feel that everyone is not in high spirits.
When Yu Yan married, she herself was very happy, and did not go to greet her, but when she arrived at Jishi, she went to worship with Min Rui.
The child in Li Qinghe's stomach has already begun to move, and Zhou Chengkang will feel the movement when he is free every day. The worry is real, but the expectation for this child is also real.
It's too hot outside, and Zhou Chengkang won't let her go out. But he was busy with things. The water in the pond was getting less and less, and the fish in the pond were too tightly packed.
In this situation, going to the town is definitely not easy to sell. If you can't watch it die and hit your hand, you have to go to the county.
This time, Li Qinghe did not go to the county seat. It was inconvenient for her to hold her belly. Zhou Chengkang had to go by herself. After Yu Yan knew, the two of them packed up and went with him. She embroidered some delicate embroidery herself. Although the town knew the goods, But she couldn't sell the price, she wanted to go to the county to try.
They left in the morning, and Li Qinghe was the only one left at home. Zhou Chengkang was not worried. He had found Wumei to accompany her earlier.
In the middle of the night, several people sneaked up on the pond of the new house.
The author has something to say: See you tonight.
