Jasmine asked her mother with some worry, do you think it was someone who broke the waterwheel? Could it be the Zhao family making trouble again? There are quite a few words that I saw talking about dad here during the day. If it was really the Zhao family who did it, they would probably talk about us even more, and there would definitely be gossip in the village. e3 latest update”
Mrs. Fang cut off the end of the thread in her hand, took out a new thread and threaded it through the needle. She rubbed the tip of the needle on her temples a few times and said, "I wonder if it's his family. If his family really dares to damage the waterwheel, It wouldn't be a festival between two families, and both villages would have to become enemies. "
After working for a while, Ms. Fang saw that it was getting late, so she asked all the children at home to go to bed, and waited for Zhu Yongxin. She didn’t wait until almost midnight to find someone. She was so tired that she didn’t know where the person was from, so she went straight in. Linzi, Tiantai Chapter 129: Drought will be followed by flood? ? Hei was not caught in the end, and Li Zheng led the watchman again and broke several wheels of the water tanker. Li Zheng was so angry that he ordered a few people to guard the water tanker in the future. "
"I really don't know who did it. How could such a heartless thing be done?" Fang gave him water to wash his face and feet, and the two of them fell asleep after saying a few words.
The next morning, Zhu Yongxin still had to carry water to the fields. Before the sun got too hot, he poured some water on the crops. On the way, he felt something was wrong. He always felt like someone was pointing behind him, but again I don't know what's going on. I came home to have breakfast for no apparent reason. Before I finished eating, I heard a knock on the door outside, and someone said, "Hey, 2?" Mother Shuanzi, are you at home? "
Mrs. Fang opened the curtain to go out and saw that it was the second aunt Lin from the Wei family. She hurriedly greeted her, "Second aunt, the relationship between our two families is like this. You don't have to go directly into the house when you come. You don't have to shout outside." people? "
"I'm not thinking. If you two are not at home, then I won't come in. It's been hot lately and people are too lazy to walk even half a step." Wei Lin followed Fang into the house and sat down on the kang. .
"Second Aunt, what do you want from us?" Ms. Fang thought she was just along for the ride, but from what she said, she sounded like she was looking for someone at home. Chapter 129: After drought, will there be flood? ? If something happened, he brought me a bowl of mung bean soup and said, "First drink the mung bean soup to relieve the heat."
Wei Lin took a few sips of the mung bean soup, put down the bowl and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just some gossip said behind the scenes by the villagers, but I think your second uncle and your father came together." We settled in Qijia Village. The relationship between our two families is extraordinary. I’d better come here to give you a few words to remind you, lest you don’t know and end up suffering a loss. However, I am not spreading gossip. "
"Look at what Auntie said. After so many years of friendship, of course Auntie is doing it for our own good. If you have any other ideas, just say it." As soon as Mrs. Fang heard that the villagers were talking behind their backs, she felt something was wrong. , I don’t know if my family is destined to be Tai Sui this year. Why are there always all kinds of disputes, and I can’t even live a stable life.
"I was walking around the village this morning and heard some women saying that the people from Zhaozhuangzi had long been saying that they wanted to give your family a good look, so what happened to Zhao Laosan happened. Now this water The car broke down, and it must have something to do with Zhao Zhuangzi. It was all caused by your family." After finishing speaking, Wei Lin saw that Fang's face was not good, so she hurriedly smiled and said, "This kind of gossip has always been like this. I’m just saying it to give you an idea, but you don’t need to take it too seriously, maybe it’s just people talking nonsense, and it will be fine in two days.”
After hearing this, Mrs. Fang forced a smile and accompanied Mrs. Wei Lin absent-mindedly.
When Mrs. Wei Lin saw her like this, she didn't stay any longer. When she got up to say goodbye, she reached out and grabbed the facial fat box on the table and said, "I was just talking these past two days. The sun is shining on my face every day." My skin is already dry, so I need to use some facial oil to moisturize it. Now that I am older, I am not as young as you, and my face is smooth and smooth even without using it... "
Fang's and Wei Lin's problems were too lazy to tell her. They just said that they were just for fun at home. If the second aunt didn't dislike it, she could just take it. "
Before the words could be finished, Mrs. Wei Lin had already put the dough box into her arms and said with a smile, thank you very much. I'll go first if there's still work at home. "After that, he raised his feet and walked out of the house.
Shaoyao leaned against the door and looked at Fang's second wife, blaming me for causing trouble to our family. "
"Nonsense, it must be the Zhao family." Fang was also a little confused, but she comforted Shaoyao first and said, "Besides, even if it's your fault, it's still your parents' fault. Such a good girl is willing to give up... Stop thinking so much, it's good to be alive." There are a few young people at home, but there is still a lot of work in the fields today, and your second uncle and I still have to work in the fields."
Zhu Yongxin and Fang took Jasmine to water the fields. Lotus was still teaching Shuanzi and Huzi to memorize the Three-Character Sutra at home. In the gaps between the nails, the pain was so painful that tears immediately welled up.
"Sister Shaoyao, why are you so careless?" Hehua quickly pinched her fingers and wiped away the seeping blood with the handkerchief, then wrapped it up and tied it tightly, "Yesterday, my mother said that I didn't pay attention when I was doing my work. You You were laughing at me last night, but now it’s better, can’t you learn from me?”
"I, I just feel uncomfortable. Do you think... will the second aunt be angry with me?" Shaoyao bit her lower lip and said, "This morning, the second grandmother of the Wei family came to tell me that someone in the village said that the water tanker was destroyed this time. The damage was also done by the Zhao family. It was all because our family offended the Zhao family, and it was all because of me... "
"What you are saying, no matter whether the Zhao family did this or not, it has nothing to do with you. How can I blame you?" Hehua heard this and said, "Besides, people like Mrs. Wei, even if they are No matter what she says, she will find something to do and run to other people's houses. In the end, she will go somewhere else. If you listen to her, you might as well listen to the crow of a toad."
Shuanzi burst out laughing when he heard this and said, Second sister, today I saw that Second Mistress was leaving the facial makeup you made for mother. "
"Look, what am I saying?... Huh? Are you going to remove the facial makeup I made?" Hehua said angrily, "This is embarrassing. You can find other ways to get it. You are not ashamed even at such an old age. "
"No wonder I didn't look happy when I saw Second Grandma in the morning." When Shaoyao heard that she wasn't angry, she felt relieved a little, and instead went to persuade Hehua to forget it. Second Grandma has always been like that, hasn't she been doing it for so many years? I'll just make another box for the second aunt with you. "
Hehua was a little embarrassed when he heard this and said that the method was very troublesome. If I hadn't happened to see some beef marrow at home that time, I made some, but... I also read the recipe from a book, so I might not have been able to make it when I made it. It's done right, it looks quite delicate after it's done, but my mother has never used it once, she just left it there. If she likes it, just give it to her."
"Doesn't that mean... you haven't even tried it?" Shaoyao asked, eyes widening.
"Of course I haven't, and I... I never use facial oil..." Hehua said with some lack of confidence.
"Then let's go talk to Second Grandma so that we don't cause problems then." Shaoyao said and stood up.
"But if you say it now, she must think that you are reluctant to say it to her." Although Hehua said this, she still got up and down from the kang, "You are at home watching them reciting this book, I Go and come back."
"Second Grandma" He Hua called out before she even entered the door, "Is Second Grandma here?"
"Hey, I thought it was who it was, but it turned out to be a lotus flower," the second son of the Wei family said, leaning on the door with his feet raised, "I haven't seen you come here except during the Chinese New Year. You are really a rare visitor."
Hehua curled her lips when she heard this and said, Uncle Wei, what you said is what you said. The people in the house of you and Uncle Wei are all brats, and I don’t have anyone to play with me. Could it be that they came to play with you? "
"Haha." The most proud thing about Old Wei Tou was that he was born with both children and his family was full of incense. When he heard He Hua say this in the house, he came out and said, "He Hua, your second uncle is teasing you. Come in, come in." I’m working in the house, what’s the matter?”
"Oh, actually it's nothing. It's just that my second grandma brought a box of dough at my house this morning. My mother didn't think about it for a moment. I made that box for fun a while ago. No one in the family has ever used it. I wonder if it will be bad if I don’t wipe it off? I quickly told the second grandma not to use it again and cause problems.”
"Hehua is a very well-behaved child. He is so good because of your mother's good teaching." Wei Lin came out of the room and said, "It's just a box of facial butter, it's worth asking for."
"Second Grandma, I'm just here to tell you something. No one has ever used that facial fat after it was made. I don't know what it looks like or whether it can be used. If you don't mind it, then you can try it, but I'm just here. Just tell me, if something goes wrong with the machine, it won’t be my family’s fault." Hehua thought that Wei Lin was here to ask for facial makeup, and pouted at her.
"What are you talking about, girl? Are you cursing my mother for something wrong?" Wei Lao Er straightened up and shouted in displeasure.
"I'm not cursing anyone. Second Mistress can use it if she wants. Just pretend that my kindness is not repaid. I have never come here. If I don't use that facial fat well in the future, just don't come to find fault with my family." " After Hehua said that, he ran straight away, and there seemed to be the sound of Wei Lao Er yelling and cursing behind him.
After returning home, Shaoyao saw Hehua's face full of displeasure and asked, "What did you say?" "
"Her second wife is at home. She is really unreasonable. Even though she is a grown-up person, she is still so careless. She also said that I am not good-hearted and that it is not a good idea to cut the second wife's wife. Forget it, I have warned her anyway, so she can use it if she likes it. Let her use it." Hehua pouted and took water to wash her face and hands.
"Second Uncle Wei has always been like that. It's not the first time. There's no need to be angry with him." Shaoyao helped Hehua hold the handle and said, "We just want to feel clear in our hearts."
After the water tanker was damaged, the craftsmen worked even more overtime, and the villagers rushed to deliver water and food to them every day, which made them feel comfortable and wanted to put in all their efforts. , they all say that we should try to do it well on the originally scheduled date.
I don’t know if the damage to the water tanker last time was an accident or because someone was watching it recently. It was quiet and peaceful for several days. The villagers gradually put this incident behind them. Looking at the water tanker standing tall, they were all surprised. I happily look forward to the time when I can water the crops easily and effortlessly in a few days.
Hehua stood on the mountain and looked at the waterwheel by the river. She came a little early after lunch today, and when she touched the hole in the tree, there was no note. She wondered if Qi Jintang would be there for a while. She stayed there and stared at the waterwheel in the distance. , watching the people below working busily, I hope that this waterwheel can be erected one day soon, so that everyone at home can be light and happy. Now Borong and Boning both want to go to school. They want to help but their families don't allow them. They say that if they break their bones at such a young age, they will not grow taller in the future. But Jasmine is so tired every day that she falls asleep as soon as she touches the pillow at night. She sees The pain in my eyes is in my heart.
"Can you be so fascinated by the waterwheel?"
Qi Jintang's voice rang in the very close ear, which startled Hehua. He patted his chest and said, "You are scaring me to death, but you are not worth your life." The water truck is ready, and the family will no longer have to carry water to irrigate the ground. Naturally, I am looking forward to it. It can be used immediately. "
"There is an old saying that after a severe drought there will be a severe flood. I'm afraid it will rain here after the waterwheel is erected." After Qi Jintang said this, he took out a book from his sleeve and handed it to Lotus. As expected, it was folded by him. One page listed the drought and flood conditions in various places in the past few years, and then said that the old saying that a severe drought must be followed by a severe flood will not deceive me.
"You won't really be so unlucky this year, right? There are a lot of words." He Hua pinched the book and frowned. She had vaguely heard of this sentence before, but she had never paid attention to whether it had any scientific basis. This time When Qi Jintang said this abruptly, he couldn't make up his mind and said somewhat at a loss, "What can we do?"
"I just saw it in a book, and I'm here to remind you that we have never suffered from flooding here. Maybe it will be fine at all, so please stop thinking about it."
"Alas..." Hehua sat down with her chin in her hands, looking very depressed, staring at the ground in trance.
"Why are you sighing?" Qi Jintang also lifted up his robe and sat down.
"I used to think that as long as I was diligent and willing to work hard, and as long as I could learn some good tips from books, I would be able to rely on my ability to make a living. But now... I really understand more and more that relying on God to make a living, no matter how hard a person works, , No matter how hard people work, they can't compete with God. If God wants you to have no harvest, no matter it's drought or flood, people have no choice at all..." Hehua stretched out her hands to hug her knees very depressedly, Resting his chin on his knees, he lowered his eyes and wondered.
"To be so negative all of a sudden, this is not like the lotus I know," Qi Jintang said warmly, "Where is the usual energy of refusing to admit defeat and not bowing down?"
"I just think that compared with nature, human beings are too fragile and small, and really vulnerable." Hehua sighed.
"As the saying goes, the ship will straighten out when it reaches the bridge. As long as the hope in people's hearts remains, there is no mountain that cannot be climbed and no obstacle that cannot be overcome. Even if the season is not good this year, there is still next year and the year after... " Qi Jintang patted Lotus on the head and consoled him, "People have to look forward and cannot give up because of unknown and uncertain risks, right?"
"Well, are you right? I made a mistake." He Hua regained his energy a little, but still wasn't very happy. "The days still have to go by, and we still have to think of ways. I don't like working in vain, but God If you really want to do this, then you have to wait until I have tried all the methods before saying anything, right? There are many words."
"You're right if you think so." Qi Jintang turned to look at her, "Then have you come up with a solution?"
"How can I come up with ideas? Ideas are reserved for young talents like you." He Hua pushed her arrogantly.
Qi Jintang was stunned when he heard this, and then he understood what was going on. He looked at He Hua in a funny and angry way, but I still thought it was a serious matter. It turned out that the little girl was unhappy, so she used various methods to amuse me. "
"Who is using you for entertainment? You copied the method of fertilizing last time to me. Why did you say I came up with it when people asked you? I'm just a child. How could I think of so many things? ." Hehua blinked and looked at Qi Jintang with an innocent face.
Qi Jintang was speechless when he heard this. Even though he really found it by flipping through the book, if Hehua hadn't come to ask, how could he have flipped through the book? He was too embarrassed to accept other people's praise. Now it was his fault, but he still followed it. Just say I'll remember it next time. It's all my idea anyway, right? There are not many words”
Hehua nodded her head. Seeing that he understood what he meant, she smiled and said nothing more, then asked how have you been studying recently? My brother has been suffering from a headache and a thorn in his buttocks at home recently. I wanted to persuade him not to be so nervous, but I was afraid that it would only increase his stress. "
"I'm just the same as usual. Your eldest brother is indeed working hard, and I often praise him recently. You can rest assured." Qi Jintang said, "Your eldest brother is working so hard to live up to the expectations of the family, and during the last Tongsheng exam, The things that happened have a great impact on him, I just hope that he can turn all these pressures into motivation and not disturb his mind."
"This is what I'm worried about. My eldest brother is the most miserable child in my family. He hasn't had a good life since he was a child. At first, he didn't have any younger siblings, but the family was very poor and often didn't have enough to eat. Later, Jasmine was born. With Boning and I, it became even more difficult to maintain the family with a large number of people. Although we lived with my grandparents and uncles, we naturally didn’t dare to eat more because we had so many people and so little land. We finally managed to go to the exam, but then we met like this It's no wonder that he is nervous now." Hehua talked worriedly and asked Qi Jintang, "Although you and my eldest brother are still a few years apart, my eldest brother and you are classmates, so you may be more useful than my family. I can't think of any other way, so I want to ask you for help."
"You also said that Borong is my classmate, how can I just sit back and ignore it?" Qi Jintang said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
