After the big troubles were solved, the days have been comfortable and peaceful. The only thing that is unbearable is that the weather is getting hotter day by day. This seems to be regarded as the hottest summer that Lotus has ever experienced in the north. After the Dragon Boat Festival, the sun has been working diligently every day, selflessly emitting light and heat, completely regardless of whether the people and crops on the ground can bear it.
Fortunately, the Hehua family's land has been diverted with stream water a long time ago, so irrigation will not be a problem for a while, but if the weather continues to be so sunny and hot, I am afraid that even the diverted canals will dry up.
The leaves of the trees in front of and behind the house were drooping wearily, and it was rare to hear the laughter of children in the village. Lotus sat under her thatched shed, fanning herself hard with the cattail leaf fan in her hand, but even the wind could not help it. It's lukewarm. Chapter 120: The beginning of summer doesn't make people feel energetic at all. Shuanzi, who used to be the happiest in the past, was lying on the straw mat obediently, snuggling next to the lotus and borrowing the light from the fan. Dahei, who had grown up a lot, was lying next to Shuanzi, with his tongue hanging out and saying "hehehehe" "Chi" kept breathing.
Seeing Dahei and Shuanzi with lowered eyebrows and eyes, Hehua didn't even bother to make fun of her. Finally, she threw away her fan and lay down on the straw mat and said, "When will this day end?" dead? "
Shaoyao An was sitting quietly doing needlework. Seeing He Hua like this, she put down her work with a smile, grabbed a fan and fanned the wind for them. Didn’t Auntie say that a calm mind will naturally cool down, you are so noisy, Even if it’s not hot, it’s too noisy. "
Hehua turned her head and looked at the white ground outside, and sighed. If this continues, the family will have to carry water to irrigate the ground. In such a hot day, people are not allowed to die in the sun? "After that, he made an estimate and suddenly stood up and went to the backyard to add water to the water tank in front of the chicken coop. Because the sun was mercilessly blazing for days, Hehua asked Zhu Yongxin to help build a sun-shading straw curtain on the chicken coop. A shallow pit was dug in the corner of the pigsty at home, and a lot of water was poured in every day so that the pigs could have a place to replenish the lost water and lower their body temperature. . The feeds fed to chickens and pigs are mixed with as much green material as possible, so it seems that both sides are still healthy and there are no safety risks.
Mrs. Fang brought a large basin of mung bean soup out of the house and invited the children under the thatched shed to come and drink mung bean soup to relieve the heat. She estimated the days in her heart and said that the summer solstice would be around the corner. As the saying goes, the summer solstice is not hot. But now it’s so hot even before we arrive, ugh…”
"After the summer solstice, there will be more rain. Then you won't have to worry about the lack of water in the ground every day." Zhu Yongxin didn't want to sit down and smoke against the wall in the sun.
The Summer Solstice does not seem to be of much importance in rural areas. It is nothing more than Winter Solstice Wonton and Summer Solstice Noodles. Every family in the village eats lo mein. That day, Mrs. Fang also prepared hand-made noodles. She picked a lot of home-grown vegetables from the ground and cut them into pieces for cooking.
Zhu Yongxin sat under the thatched shed, sipping wine and saying that it was time to get busy in the fields again. Although it was not as good as the autumn harvest, you still had to work diligently in the fields, otherwise you would lose the entire year's harvest. Jasmine, you and Hehua take good care of the house, take good care of your little brother, and feed the pigs and chickens at home. Your mother and I try to go to the fields as much as possible, because we still have to help your grandfather and grandpa take care of the fields, so I'm afraid there aren't many people to look after the family. "
Jasmine and Hehua both nodded in agreement, and Shaoyao also said that although I can't do heavy work, I can still watch the children cook. "
It was approaching evening that day and before it got dark, a rumble of thunder seemed to be heard from the distant horizon. Lotus happily looked towards the direction of the sound and said happily that it had been suffocatingly hot for several days and finally it was finally over. It's going to rain, and it's our turn to be hungry even if it's our turn. "
"I'm so tired of seeing it. I'm afraid there will be thunder but no rain. As the old saying goes, there will be thunder and three volts of heat during the summer solstice. This year, I'm afraid the heat will have to wait until after autumn to slow down." Zhu Yongxin frowned more and more, "I just hope If there is a drenching rain before the sun sets, there will be no hope for Minor Heat and Great Heat. Rain in Minor Heat is as precious as silver, and rain in Severe Heat is as precious as gold. If that happens, this year will be really difficult."
"Dad, don't say such depressing words." Hehua said while slurping the green stuff that he was going to feed in the evening. "In the worst case, we will just carry water to water the ground. I don't believe that no matter how hot it is, the river water will be dried up."
It did rain a few times after the summer solstice, but the thunderstorms that came and went suddenly stopped just after they wet the ground. Sometimes I can actually see it raining in the left yard and drying out in the right yard. It really goes with the saying that the sun rises in the east and rains in the west.
The weather is too hot and the chickens at home are not very happy to eat. They chirp and cluck a little restlessly every day. The chicks hatched at the beginning of this year have been mixed with last year's chickens. The venue seems to be cramped. When the two collide, it's easy to choke them. So He Hua asked Zhu Yongxin to go to the city to find out the current price of chickens. If he calculated the price, he would sell all the chickens from last year, leaving only a few who seemed to be the leaders in the flock, so as not to lose money suddenly when the time comes. All became scattered.
Because I have been selling eggs, I am familiar with the people at Yaxing. The chickens this time were also sold very happily. No matter male or female, a total of 80 chickens were sold for 30 cents. Jasmine got 24 yuan. Looking at the pile of copper plates, I kept exclaiming that seeing so many copper plates made me feel that it was really worth it for me to feed the chickens and change the water every day. "
"Is it worth it? There are so many words," Hehua said with a smile, "Just think it's worth it, and let my mother collect it and make it your dowry."
Jasmine's face turned red when she heard this and said, "You crazy girl, let me tear your mouth open and let you talk nonsense again." Then she held Hehua down and pinched her cheeks.
Hehua laughed so hard that she couldn't breathe, but she still dodged and grabbed peonies as a shield. The three of us laughed and made a mess. Either you pressed my shirt, or she grabbed my arm.
Mrs. Fang heard the sound outside and looked around. She saw three little girls laughing so hard that their faces turned red and their eyes turned into crescent moons. The clear and clear laughter of a girl made everyone who heard it unbearable. My mood got better and better. Looking at the three girls who were not as beautiful as flowers, but they were all pretty, Mrs. Fang also smiled heartily.
A festival is coming soon after entering the countryside. Calling it a festival seems a bit exaggerated. June 6th is called Auntie's Day in the country people, because there are married girls who go home to visit their parents. There is also a legend that on June 6th, dragons dry their scales, so clothes and books must be dried on this day.
There is also a saying that June 6 is the day when the six gods meet. The well water taken before the fifth watch on this day is the best in the year. Yang is very superstitious about this. Every year on the morning of June 6, Went to get water from the well to make sauce.
Mrs. Fang originally had no intention of returning to her parents' home, and wanted to stay at home to take care of the old lady Ah Ji, but Zhu firmly waved her hand to let her go back to her parents' home, saying that she was taking care of her family, and Ms. Yang herself had no serious problems, but she just wanted to take care of herself. Just to keep in good health.
When Mrs. Fang saw this, she didn't refuse. She took Jasmine, Lotus and Shuanzi with her to Fangzhuangzi the next day. Originally, she planned to ask Shaoyao to play with her, but Shaoyao resolutely refused, and she didn't say what she wanted. Because of this, when Fang saw her resolute attitude, she had no choice but to give up.
A few people set off quickly while the morning was still cool. They arrived at Fangzhuangzi just after three o'clock in the morning. Before they got there, they saw a half-grown man standing at the door from a distance. Hehua smiled and said, "How about our grandma's house?" Someone is waiting for us outside."
As a result, He Hua saw that the person standing at the door was not the child of his uncle and uncle, but Jiang Shiyan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He was dressed very casually, just wearing a linen trousers and jacket. But from the embroidery and workmanship, it was immediately obvious that it was extraordinary.
Because He Hua said last time that Jiang Shiyan had a crush on Jasmine, Fang took a closer look this time. Jiang Shiyan does have a different look. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, but he doesn't feel strong. There is still a bookish look between his eyebrows, but he always has an expression as if someone owes him money, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
Mrs. Fang got out of the car with Shuanzi in her arms. When she saw Jiang Shiyan coming up to greet him, he asked, "Why are you standing here?" Not going into the house? "
"I... I just walked by here casually. If it gets too hot, I'll stop and rest for a while." Jiang Shiyan glanced at Jasmine from the corner of his eyes.
Jasmine turned her head and pretended not to notice Zai, and saw He Hua looking at him with a wicked smile on her face. She felt a little embarrassed and ran into the courtyard door as she shook her head.
Seeing that Jiang Shiyan was still standing outside the door, Hehua asked if he would close the door if he didn't want to come in. "
"I..." Jiang Shiyan stumbled a bit, but his feet were very nimble. He came in with three steps and two steps at a time. After standing in the yard, he muttered in a low voice: "I, I used to come here often." "
"Pfft" He Hua couldn't help but laugh after hearing this. He felt that although he had some inexplicable affection for Jasmine, in fact, he was still just a child at heart. It was really not good for him to have been with him at first, so he smiled and said, "We are all from the countryside, so what's the point of being embarrassed about coming to visit?"
Unexpectedly, such a friendly attitude did not make Jiang Shiyan happy. Instead, he took a step back very vigilantly, looked at Hehua and asked, "Are you trying to do something bad?" There are not many words”
Hehua became angry after hearing this, threw away her hands and walked into the house, "You don't have a good look on your face. I'd rather be nice to you than you have so many things to do."
The atmosphere in the room was not right when they entered. Fang and Jasmine were all gathered around the kang, and then they realized that this was different from usual. In the past, my grandma would rush out when she heard the noise, but this time the courtyard was deserted. When I saw my grandma sitting on the kang, leaning against the quilt, I quickly rushed over and asked my grandma, what's wrong with you? "
Grandma Hehua quickly hugged Hehua to comfort her and said, "My dear, it's okay. I just didn't hit my foot two days ago. I'll just nurse it for a few days and it'll be fine. It's okay."
Fang complained and said, "Why didn't you let my brother call me after you told me about this?" I can still take care of you for a few days. "
"What are you taking care of? Now is the time when the fields are busy. If you come to take care of me, why don't you leave me at home?" Grandma Hehua waved her hand and said, "It's not in the way. I didn't let them say it. Big Just say that my feet are swollen from afar, and people will laugh to death if it spreads. Besides, your two sisters-in-law are both fine."
"Mom, look at what you said. My sister-in-law is good to you, but she always does it through her belly. Let's not talk about anything else. Let's just say that you are asking me to wake you up. You must not be asking your own daughter to come here, isn't it?" Fang asked. I opened the quilt and looked at the old lady's feet. Her ankles were swollen and she asked worriedly if she had seen the doctor. He is so swollen that it is no joke to injure his muscles and bones.
After Jiang Shiyan heard this, he followed Fang and looked at Grandma Hehua's injured leg, then turned and ran out.
Hehua was greatly embarrassed when she saw this, and wondered whether she ran out and vomited, right? There are many words, even if you see a broken foot, some bruises and bruises, but it's not like this, right? Many words
Just when I was thinking about it, I saw Brother Fang come into the room and said this, which really made me sad. My mother’s foot is injured, why don’t I go to the doctor? Nothing happened at first, but after just two days of rest, my mother insisted on going to the ground to show off her talent that day. As a result, she sprained again just after taking two steps. She looked like a steamed bun."
Grandma Hehua was a little bit annoyed by the comments, so she quickly interrupted and said, "You talk a lot. Where are the others? Why haven't you seen them?" Hurry up and find your house to prepare lunch."
Lotus and Jasmine talked around their grandma for a while, then got up and went to the outhouse to help choose vegetables. Before they had finished choosing a small pot of lentils, Jiang Shiyan ran in again and said, this is the ointment I brought from home. I heard from my father that it is very effective on the feet... How about... Also..." He said in Jasmine's direction, "How about I give it to your grandma to try too? "
