Jiang Li quickly grabbed the letter before he could see it clearly.

Although I didn’t write anything, it was still a bit embarrassing for others to see it.

Jiang Songshu asked again: "Letter written to you by someone else?"

Jiang Li had already walked out before he finished asking.

Outside, Qian Laishun and the others saw Jiang Li coming out, smiling toothily.

"Miss Ali, if nothing happens, we can go back quickly?"

The main reason is that everyone in the village happens to be working in the fields right now, so as not to be caught by them and see the grain they have brought back, they can estimate the harvest in the fields at a glance.

It's so eye-catching.

All the grains allocated to Laishun have been weighed. There are six or seven bags of grains piled in front of the door, and the others have been moved into the Jiang family's woodshed.

Qian Laishun took Jiang Li to see. The floor of the woodshed was covered with dry straw and grain was piled on it.

Five to six thousand kilograms of grain were packed into twenty or thirty sacks. The woodshed was not big, and it took up half of the space at once.

"Okay, there is a cart in the backyard. Uncle Qian can lend it to you to transport food back if you need it!"

Jiang Li said.

Qian Laishun's eyes lit up, so that's even better.

So he followed Jiang Li to the backyard and pushed the cart to the gate. A cart transported six or seven bags of grain at once.

Although five people share the fifteen hundred kilograms of grain, one person can only get three hundred kilograms of grain.

But this is only the early rice, and the late rice can be divided into some more. Even if it is only half, it is more than 100 kilograms of grain. In total, one person can have 500 kilograms. After grinding the rice, there are seven to three chaff, and the available rice is 350 kilograms, which is enough for a year.

Besides, there are sweet potatoes in the ground and they will be harvested in two months.

If you plant more sweet potatoes, you can still mix them with shredded sweet potatoes, cook sweet potato porridge, and steam sweet potato rice.

Thinking about it this way, my days have become much more busy.

The weather only improved for a while. It was sunny on the first day, cloudy on the second day, and started to rain again on the second night. In the second half of the night, the sound of raindrops made it impossible to sleep at all.

Yu Zhonghui's family couldn't sleep either. They were asleep originally, but were woken up by the sound of rain in the middle of the night.

The children at home were fast asleep and sleeping soundly. Those who could help with the work during the day helped with the work. The younger ones played behind the older ones. They fell asleep after eating, taking a shower and going to bed. It was worry-free. No worries.

It’s fun even when it rains.

Yu Zhonghui and his sons stood under the eaves, looking at the heavy rain outside. "It's raining so hard. I don't know how long it will rain! I think we still have to find another way."

Yu Zhonghui's family took advantage of the sunny weather in the past two days to harvest all the rice in the fields. Yu San and Yu Si also helped together. Even Mrs. Lin came back to help, finishing the work on the pig farm. I told Mr. Jiang and asked for leave and came back.

Now looking at the heavy rain outside, although I am glad that my house has not been delayed, there are also a few families in the village who have been delayed. There is still unfinished grain in the fields, but at the moment, the grain collected has not been dried. If it is stuffed in the bag, In the past two or three days, the grain had grown moldy and sprouted, and it was all wasted.

There are only two families like theirs in the village.

Yu Si said from the side: "Fortunately, when the weather was fine a while ago, I picked up a lot of firewood and piled it at home. If not, we can only spread it out on the ground at home to dry, and then use the fire to dry it when it is almost dry?"

After listening to his youngest son's words, Yu Zhonghui had a serious expression on his face, sighed deeply, and had no choice but to nod.

"That's the only way we can do it."

"Old man, there's no use worrying. Go to bed quickly, and so do you guys."

The village chief's wife fell asleep and found no one around her. She heard the sound of rain outside, and saw that Yu Zhonghui hadn't come back for a long time, so she came out and saw the father and son talking.

After speaking to Yu Zhonghui, he turned around and urged Yu San and Yu Si.

"Mom, let's spread the food out to dry in the main room first. There is so much food, I don't know what will happen tomorrow!"

Yu Si said.

The father and son started to take action as they spoke.

Although there is a risk of being stolen by rats when poured out, it is better than getting moldy.

The old lady couldn't win over them, and the younger son's words made some sense, so she followed suit.

The family worked for two quarters of an hour before they finished their work. Although it was raining, there was wind anyway. The door was open and the wind blew in.

One person held a rake made of bamboo and raked the grain back and forth.

"Father, mother, eldest and third brother, you go to bed first. I will keep vigil tonight."

Yu Si volunteered.

Anyway, he has nothing to do at home. He doesn't have to work during the day. He needs to guard the food tonight so that it won't be stolen by rats or other animals. He can leave it to others to look after him during the day, so he can catch up on his sleep later.

Yu Zhonghui thought for a moment, and this was fine.

His wife rolled her eyes at him angrily. Fathers just don't know how to love their children, so they really want to let their children stay here all night.

"Yao'er, you go to sleep. Mom will keep watch. You can sleep for a while and then Mom will call you to get up and change."

The village chief's wife pushed Yu Si.

As a young man, Yu Si naturally couldn't really listen to his mother's words, otherwise he would be beaten to death by his brothers.

Finally, at Yu Si's insistence, his mother went back to the house to sleep.

There was no other way, Yu Si's mother just thought of getting up early the next day so that her son could go to bed.

Not only the Yu family was like this, but other families in the village were also up in the middle of the night.

It's raining outside and there's no way to dry it, so we have to find a way to dry it, otherwise the food will be wasted.

After everyone had been busy working for several days, they were almost done drying in the shade, so they set up a fire pit in the house and dried the grain bit by bit.

This method is very slow and consumes a lot of firewood, but there is no other way. The family's rations will be here next year.

The Jiang family's business is still going on, and the business is not bad. However, because of the rainy weather, everyone is not in a high mood. Coupled with the food problem, their faces are inevitably a little sad.

In the blink of an eye, it has been raining continuously for nearly half a month. Except for the first two days when it rained more heavily, the subsequent rains became much lighter. However, it has always been rainy and rainy. People who have fields in the entire Yunzhou City are... I'm so anxious that I'm going to get angry.

Despite various methods, the harvested grain still has an impact.

Even the price of food in the city has risen a lot.

The Jiang family's carriage goes to the north, west, east, and south of the city to deliver goods. Food prices have increased these days, and the prices of many foods in the city have also begun to rise.

Of course, the reason was not just the weather, a war started in Anzhou.

Yunzhou City is naturally affected, and basically no merchants will do business here.

The Jiang family's business can only deal with the residents of the city. They consume one pig every day, and sometimes two at most. The business is much worse than before.
