Propose a hundred times

The situation of the disaster in Fenghuang Village has been investigated and recorded, and Master Qian has to report everything when he returns.Suzhou in the south of the Yangtze River is an economic and trade region at the lifeline level in the central and southern parts of Dachu, so the imperial court did not pay attention to it.During the torrential rain in the south of the Yangtze River, several counties and townships under Suzhou City suffered flood disasters, how many people were affected, and how severe the disaster was, was the immediate concern of the imperial court.

Master Wang, the parent official of Teng County, was terrified. On the second day after the disaster, he quickly sent personnel to visit the affected towns and villages, and rescued the severely affected places.

It's timely and responsible.

As a result, Fenghuang Village, which was not seriously affected by the flood, receded on its own, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.The days resumed as usual, and the season of sowing and transplanting rice seedlings re-entered, patiently waiting for the disaster relief funds from the imperial court to be released, and the government gave some subsidies to compensate them for the losses they suffered due to the disaster.

With roughly the same mood, each household started spring sowing quickly, striving to recover the best seedling transplanting season that was delayed by two days as much as possible, and at least ten days of work and effort were wasted in vain.

The next day, Yuan's family, who were not farming, spent half a day cleaning up the pigsty and the vegetable field.After eating at noon, the two elders urged Shao'an Qiuyue and his wife to go to her parents' house to see if there was anything that needed help, so as to save them from feeling bad and worrying about it.

The two younger ones had no reason not to agree, so they took a rest after dinner and went to Geng's house together.At that time, the Geng family had just had lunch, and the family was busy from morning to noon, and the farm work in several fields had to be done quickly, but they were all exhausted.

Fortunately, Geng Qiumei's body is stable enough, and she can also help with cooking and cooking, otherwise, the whole family will be busy and she will be alone, so she won't feel bad.

When Chang'an Qiuyue arrived, Aunt Geng and Geng Qiumei were putting away the bowls, and the rest took the time to rest and had to go out again after a while.There is no way, the fields of the two families are in a hurry, so there is no rush.

"Sister, why don't you go back to the house to rest and be careful." Geng Qiuyue is most concerned about her sister's body, how can anyone who has had a child not pay more attention.

"Oh, you, how can I be so fragile, cooking and washing dishes is not a heavy job, look at how nervous you are!"

Geng Qiumei laughed and scolded her, but she obediently took the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, and took a rag to wipe the dining table by herself.Boss Geng poured a cup of tea and called Shaoan over to talk,

"Have you two eaten, and the house is packed?"

Yuan Shaoan walked over and sat down, caring about Yue's family very much: "I just came here after dinner, everything at home has been cleaned up in the morning, so I just came to see if there is anything I can help with at my mother's house...Dad, the fields at home are busy. What's going on, is it important?"

Father-in-law took a sip of tea, breathed slowly, and replied: "The water is almost drained, and the grain seeds that were sprinkled before have been washed away. If the grain seeds need to be re-soaked, the fields will have to be raked again, which will take a lot of time. ,well!"

Boss Geng was extremely distressed about the endless work of spring planting. After finishing the duties of the village head, it was his turn to deal with his own family. He couldn't be free for several days.

"Then I'll come to help today too. I just have time, and many people can finish the work quickly. Do you use your own grain seeds, or buy new ones?"

Boss Geng glanced at Shao'an who was asking questions. This son-in-law who doesn't farm is really half-baked, and he doesn't know much about farm affairs.Sighing, he explained to her: "Half of the bubbles at home will not be able to germinate, so it will take a lot of grain and time. Now I am rushing to sow seeds, it is better to buy the ones that have been processed by someone from the grain shop in the town. The second child has already gone to the town this morning, and it is time to come back. The grain seeds have to be soaked for at least two or three days when they are bought, and the seeds have to wait for more than ten days before they can be planted. It is not so busy. ..."

"Well, take your time, there is no way."

"..."

Weng and his son-in-law were chatting vigorously, when there was movement outside the courtyard, Geng's second son was the first to start the conversation, and immediately opened the door: "The grain seeds are bought!" The thick male voice that shook the courtyard was hearty.

As expected of Second Uncle Geng, he is always full of energy, and even heavy rain and flood can't wash away his steely will and spirit.Yuan Shao'an silently admired her in his heart, thinking back on his past two days of sorrow and sorrow, he couldn't help but sigh, after all, a young man like her still eats too little salt and rice, and she can't compare with the open-minded and experienced elders!

Elder Geng carried a sack of heavy things on his shoulders, walked all the way into the living room from the courtyard gate, unloaded the goods, took the water from Qiumei and drank it all, then raised his head and sighed loudly: "Ha - tired I'm dead!"

"Thank you, Second Uncle!" Curious, Yuan Shaoan leaned up to take a look at the bag, surprised: "Second Uncle, how many families did you bring grain seeds to? Why is there such a big bag?"

After drinking the water, Geng's second son turned his face and rubbed it on one arm, wiped the water stains on the corners of his mouth and the sweat stains on his forehead, and then grinned and said: "Almost the whole village, there is still a bag on the cart outside. Your kid still Shunde, help uncle carry it in, hurry up." After speaking, he looked at Shaoan's thin arms and legs, and smiled slyly.

Unexpectedly, he said he wanted to come to help, but in the end he had to do physical work as soon as he came, and Shao'an's mood was complicated and helpless for a while.Fortunately, the brother-in-law Zhang Shunde was considerate and hardworking, so he rolled up his sleeves and went out to bring in the grain seeds without saying a word.

Accompanying him in were several villagers.

"Ah, Second Brother Geng came back so early!"

"We're here to weigh the grain seeds! We still have fields to plow at home, so we're in a hurry..."

"Really, thank you Geng's second child to go to the town and bring it back for everyone, hehe, thank you for your hard work!"

But no, the folks are looking forward to the return of this batch of grain seeds, so that they can be taken back and soaked early, so there is no need to waste any more time. The good time for sowing and transplanting rice seedlings was destroyed by a heavy rain, how annoying!

The centralized purchase of grain seeds this time was Boss Geng's idea.Yesterday, taking advantage of going to various families to petition, he also inquired about the amount of seeds needed by each family one by one, and wrote down the weight. When he returned, he missed his second brother and ordered him to go to the town to buy grain seeds at dawn the next day.

Thank goodness, there was no change in the way Geng's second child was driving the ox cart, and the purchases went smoothly, so he rushed back after lunch, but he was exhausted with all his strength!

In the bustle and bustle, several villagers weighed the seeds they needed, and when they asked the price when they wanted to pay, they wrinkled their faces on the spot and clicked their tongues.

"Why do you need to pinch so much, Brother Geng, don't you be deceived by others!"

The tone of the sentence is euphemistic, and it will sound fine to the unsuspecting person, but if the caring person hears it, the taste will become: You are not cheating us!

Fortunately, the man surnamed Geng has always been generous and has the spirit of dedication.However, no matter how dedicated he is, Geng's second child is not a fool. If he spends half a day working so hard, he can't make himself pay for it if he doesn't make any money!

"Hey! Don't think it's too expensive right now! Let me tell you, the price of grain seeds is not low. This time, there was a flood, and a lot of people rushed to ask for it. Some unscrupulous merchants took the opportunity to raise prices, and others refused. The loss also followed, and all the grains and grains suddenly became extremely expensive! Just these two bags of grains are enough for me to buy several stones of grain."

Well, the Geng family has always been honest, and this time they helped them get the grain seeds back to rescue them. How could they have the nerve to complain to others in front of them, a little ashamed, thanked them for the money, and grabbed their bag of things , Each went back to each house.

Yuan Shao'an watched from the sidelines, secretly rolling his eyes at those unfamiliar villagers, and at the same time showing full respect to all the relatives of her father-in-law's family, sighing to himself.

In the following time, the villagers came to weigh the grain seeds one after another. Boss Geng and Boss Geng and the others had to be busy in their own fields and had no time to take care of it, so Shaoan Qiuyue and Qiumei were left at home to let them take care of themselves the rest.

After receiving the instructions, the young couple naturally fulfilled their duties, the weighing was not short of catties, the accounting was careful and meticulous, and the cashier did not dare to be careless. They cooperated with each other and divided two bags of grain seeds according to the amount in one afternoon. Everyone was satisfied and thanked each other and left.

Although it doesn't take a lot of effort, after all, it is also a delicate work that requires concentration. After finishing this work, several people are exhausted.

"Sister, you haven't stopped all day, drink some water and go back to your room to rest."

Before she could calm down, Geng Qiuyue hurriedly drove her sister back to the house, lest she feel unwell and hurt the child.Geng Qiumei, who was driven back to the house, laughed at her sister for caring too much, got up obediently and went back to the room, and made fun of her sister,

"Look at you, I'm more nervous than your brother-in-law! You'll be a good mother in the future lol!"

Now, Qiuyue is not easy to answer.Pretending to be nothing, just talking about the moment,

"You can take care of yourself, and worry about me! These days, everyone in the family is busy outside, and I can't run to my mother's house all day long. You can take care of yourself at home."

Geng Qiuyue, acting like a reliable adult, preached to her own sister that she was well-informed, and all she had to do was persuade her not to do this, not to do this, not to do this, not to go there.Geng Qiumei couldn't help laughing again when she heard that, even though her heart was surrounded by warmth, she still couldn't help but say something to her sister,

"It's different when Yue'er is married, she almost catches up with our mother when she chatters! I see, my brother-in-law is going to despise you every day..."

"She dares!"

Qiuyue stared at her almond-shaped eyes, as if that Yuan was really standing in front of her with a look of disgust, as arrogant as her, and she would never allow such a situation to happen!

Qiumei raised her eyes and scolded her: "If you don't let go of your temper, you will crush my brother-in-law hard in the future. No matter how rare he is, he will never be able to bear it!"

That's right!Qiuyue and the person surnamed Yuan have been hanging around for a long time, and they always get a little immoral. When they hear some words, they can't help thinking crookedly, blushing and panicking in their hearts: "Who is suppressing her! What are you talking about, sister!"

"Of course I'm talking about you! Don't say that Shao'an is also a temper, but your brother-in-law looks so honest and has no temper. Sometimes I say a few words about him and he doesn't like to listen!"

"Then...my Shaoan is different from my brother-in-law, don't worry!"

Geng Qiuyue was full of confidence in her family, and her sister didn't know about some things, so she just listened and didn't take it to heart.It's a pity that my sister is just because she doesn't know the inside story, and based on her personal experience and mother's beating from time to time, she summed up a set of eternal truths.

"As the saying goes, the world is as black as crows, and all men in the world have the same virtue. Don't say I didn't teach you! Don't look at you two newlyweds, how much he loves you. The days will be long in the future. If your Miss Jiao's temper doesn't come soon Change it, there will always be a day when people don't want to see you in your in-law's house!"

Geng Qiumei seemed to be thinking of her past suffering experience, and her expression became unhappy as she spoke, even excited, which shows how much her in-laws' family hurt her.

Such an emotional elder sister made Qiuyue feel distressed and angry, afraid that she would think too much, so she hugged someone to comfort her: "Don't think so much, let's live our lives better than anything else!"

It's just that, sister, your worries are really unnecessary.The Yuan family treated me, Geng Qiuyue, eighty percent if not ten percent.If you dare not, your sister has a big handle!

If there is such a day, who is afraid of being frightened?Who is afraid of whom?

The two sisters in the room were so absorbed in their conversation that they didn't notice that the family members outside the room had already returned home from work, and the hall was very lively at the moment.

Aunt Geng didn't rest on her feet when she came back, she drank her saliva and immediately rushed into the kitchen to cook dinner.The men sat together in the hall and chatted about the mountains.

"It can be regarded as plowing that one-third of an acre of land! I was worried about watering and softening the soil before, but there was a flood, and the soil was directly soaked into mud, and it didn't take much effort to rake it! Hey, did you answer something? Are you talking? Misfortune...fortunate..."

"Misfortune is what blessings rely on, and what misfortunes are lurking." At the door, Geng Qiuyue came out of the room after hearing the sound, and continued this sentence.

Geng's second child showed no embarrassment, just looked at his niece with a pleasant smile, and couldn't stop teasing: "Ah! As expected, she went to a school in the city to study, we Yue'er are really talented! Big brother is blessed, Blessed is Shaoan, hahaha!"

Qiuyue's face flushed instantly, although her knowledge was greatly appreciated by her, but she couldn't stand the adults always making fun of her and Shao'an by rubbing her and Shao'an together, it was shameless!

So, the second girl, Geng, was ashamed, stomped her feet and let out a groan, and slipped to the kitchen to help her mother.

As soon as Qiuyue left, the normal serious atmosphere returned to the hall, and Boss Geng asked, "Second brother, what's the situation in the town today? Are the surrounding villages severely affected? Why do you say that they are all robbing food?" .”

Seeing the question, Geng's second son held back his smile and answered seriously: "No, the surrounding village is just the one below our village. I heard that there is no way to drain the water, but the flood is not that serious. It is said that the court was very nervous when it found out. People will be sent down soon, and the food and funds for disaster relief will definitely be indispensable. Those grain merchants who only accept money are in a hurry, and they can make as much money as possible during this gap, or who should they cry to when the price of grain drops? !"

When everyone heard the information with its own analysis, they all nodded to express their understanding.

After finishing speaking, Geng took a sip of water from his water glass, scratched his nose and continued: "Now not only the price of food has risen, but also the price of meat, vegetable and medicine. The vendors in the city are all crazy. The government doesn’t seem to be able to manage that much, and the county magistrate is busy with disaster relief!”

Really!When disaster strikes, everywhere is chaos!

Boss Geng shook his head, feeling very unhappy about this situation.Yuan Shaoan and Zhang Shunde looked at each other, also speechless.Some people are so heartless!

No matter what, those are not things they can worry about. The most important thing to worry about right now is their own home.
