Farmer's Little Girl

Chapter 2564

They tried to come back on a flat road. Four fifths of the water was still there. They were happy and quickly poured all the water into the field with buckets

They had been carrying water all day. Zhou Dalang raked the field twice with a rake to mix the water and mud in the field and make it more uniform.

Bai Shan took a bucket of water down and saw man Bao standing in the field with his feet, washing his feet with the water that had just fallen down, so he called her and said, "come quickly, the water here is cleaner."

Man Bao immediately stepped forward and stood on a clump of grass in the field. Bai Shanwei tilted the bucket and the water flowed down. Man Bao washed his feet and dirty trouser legs with the water.

After washing, he put it down, and then sat on the ridge to dry his feet.

After inserting a field, Lord Wei swayed over covered with mud. He also went to the Zhou family's field and motioned Bai Shan to continue pouring water.

Bai Shan took him a new bucket of water to clean his hands and feet.

"How many pieces of land are there in your family?"

Wei Zhi sighed, "there are only these two in Yongzhou."

But his hometown also suffered from drought this year.

When man Bao saw that he was sad, he comforted him and said, "my Lord, my mother said that farmers want to eat according to the weather. Drought and waterlogging are common. It's difficult for us for a while. He was afraid that he had neither waterlogging nor drought for a long time, and the weather was good for several years, but there was still no surplus food at home."

Wei Zhi was stunned and asked, "why can't we save surplus grain in good weather for several years?"

"Since there is no natural disaster, nature is a man-made disaster." Seeing Wei zhiyilin, man Bao quickly explained, "my man-made disaster doesn't specifically refer to officialdom. It's even the black sheep of my family or someone who is ill. My mother means that if the weather is good and we can't save food for several years, it's better to have a little drought and a little waterlogging every year. "

"Why?" Wei Zhi didn't understand, "even if you can't save food, it should be a good weather."

Man Bao shook his head. "My mother said, the Lord of heaven is watching. The world is so big. The weather here is good. Other places must be suffering from disasters, and the luck should come in turn."

"The weather has been good for several years. I have enjoyed too much luck, and there will be great disasters in the future," she said. "For example, in the year of flood in Yizhou, our village had good weather in the first few years. As a result, there was a sudden rainstorm that year. Coupled with man-made disasters, the levee collapsed."

Wei Zhi thought carefully and found that it was really a drought in the area of Gyeonggi a few years ago. It was serious that time. However, because there was a lot of grain in the area of the capital and grain was transported from all over the country, it did not cause great disaster. At most, the Treasury was a little poor. They were more tired as officials.

After the drought, the weather in Gyeonggi has been good for two years, that is, the snow disaster last winter and the drought at the beginning of this spring. However, the Qin Tianjian said that the situation was not very serious and it should rain in a period of time.

Wei Zhi sighed, "your mother is very insightful."

No wonder we can raise people like Zhou man.

Man Bao nodded deeply.

Bai Shan took another bucket of water and called man Bao, "come and help me."

Man Bao stepped on the grass barefoot and jumped over several times to pour him water and wash his hands and feet.

Wei Zhi looked at them and asked, "it's been two days. Why don't you see adults Zhou and Bai?"

Man Bao complacently said, "we pay great attention to sunscreen. You see, we wear straw hats and cover our face with gauze when the sun is high during the day, revealing only a pair of eyes."

Lord Wei: "not boring?"

"It's boring, but it won't be dark," man Bao said. "Otherwise, when we return to the DPRK in half a month, we will be black. How can we see your majesty and your colleagues?"

Lord Wei wondered, "what can't be seen?"

Man Bao said, "other people's jade trees face the wind. Naturally, we should also be elegant. How can we be embarrassed?"

Lord Wei didn't speak. He just smiled and said, "OK, that half a month, no, it's the big Dynasty meeting in twelve days."

Absolutely sunscreen is impossible. They are so unruly and love freedom. They lost the gauze in two days. When they really went to the field to transplant seedlings, even the straw hat felt in the way. When the sun was not so big in the morning and afternoon, they directly lost the straw hat.

Then he fluttered in the field with joy.

After planting, they had to plant beans. When they were not in the water, they felt hot. They honestly put on their straw hats, but they still felt dry.

And it's too late to wear it back at this time. They have a tan.

Not talking about themselves, Lao Zhou was also distressed. While talking about telling them to hurry up when planting, he said, "we can do this work ourselves. It's good for you to be an official directly and ask for field leave..."

Man Bao straightened up, beat his small waist and said, "Dad, how many days do we plant?"

Lao Zhou looked left and right and estimated, "we'll finish planting in two days. I don't know how your five brothers are growing another piece of land."

Old Zhou tou married man Bao with two plots of land, one of which was planted by them, and the other was planted by Lang on Friday with his nephews who also took a field leave.

Even Zhou Lixin (Daya) and Guan Yong came and soaked in the ground for seven or eight days.

No way, because of the lack of water, the fields to transplant seedlings had to be watered. The work that could have been completed in three or four days was extended to seven or eight days.

And now it's not chaotic. It's hard to recruit short-term and long-term workers. They can't find people with money.

It is said that Huangzhuang has recruited a large number of workers. They are not only well paid, but also eat well. Many people have gone.

Then there are some powerful and aristocratic families who have to hire people to carry water because of the drought.

Otherwise, why did the emperor leave the field early and add three days for you to fight against drought.

Just after man Bao and Bai Shan planted, the imperial supervisor always said that the coming rain finally came, pattering, very thin. When it fell, man Bao and Bai Shan didn't find it raining. After all, they were wearing straw hats.

Zhou Dalang felt hot. He took off his straw hat and wiped a sweat. As a result, he felt the drizzle on his face. He was stunned and shouted, "Dad, it's raining."

Lao Zhou, who was lowering his head and falling forward step by step, was shocked. He took off his hat, stretched out his hand and said happily, "it's really raining. Hurry up and plant."

Man Bao, they all cheer up and speed up.

When Wei Zhi saw that his seedlings were dead or alive, he rolled his sleeves to help. After planting the last two ridges, they happily went home together. Man Bao also invited Lord Wei, "it's too late for you to return to the capital at this time. Why don't you have a rest in my Chuang Tzu?"

Wei Zhi smiled and agreed.

And Zhou man went to Zhuangzi in Pu village.

The party sat on the ox cart, carrying the rain all the way back, but they were very happy. In particular, the spring rain had a trend of getting denser and denser. Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief, "it's best to get wet to the ground."

"It depends on whether it can go down to night."

At this time, the emperor was also standing in the Tai Chi hall watching the rain. Seeing that the rain was getting denser and denser, he was happy. He laughed and told Gu Zhong, "go and tell the queen that I want to eat a pot tonight and let the imperial dining room kill one more chicken."

Gu Zhong smiled.
