Lucky husband

Sitting on the bed, Li Mingjin thought about the content of his dream last night, and suddenly he didn't want to stay in bed, he jumped out of bed and dressed as fast as he could, then ran to the main room to pick up the water glass on the table A glass of water gulped down.

After drinking a glass of water, Li Mingjin felt that it wasn't enough, so he drank three glasses of water in succession before he felt his thirst was overwhelmed.

"Brother Jin!" Jiang Zhiyun came out of the room. She saw Li Mingjin drank two glasses of water in a row, lifted the kettle and shook it, and found that the water in the kettle was reduced by half. She grabbed Li Mingjin, "Don't wake up in the morning. Drink so much water, just drink a glass of warm water to moisten your throat, why do you drink so much?"

"Mother, I had a terrible dream last night." Li Mingjin looked at Jiang Zhiyun with a frightened expression on his face, wanting to cry or not.

Li Mingjin has always been someone who likes to laugh. Jiang Zhiyun was frightened by his appearance. He swallowed the words he wanted to reprimand him, hugged him and comforted him: "Brother Jin, don't be afraid, father and mother are here, what's the matter?" You tell your mother."

"Mother, it won't rain for a long time this year, and many of the crops in the field will wither." Li Mingjin thought about the large fields of crops withered in his dream, and the people in the village looked at their fields in silence. Depressed feeling, feeling bad.

Jiang Zhiyun's heart skipped a beat: "Drought? Brother Jin, are you serious?"

"Mother, really, I dreamed about it last night. It will not rain for four or five months. Brother Jin and younger brother are going to be hungry." Li Mingjin threw herself into Jiang Zhiyun's arms and couldn't help crying. up.

Li Mingjin knew that if it didn't rain, there would be a severe drought, and he knew that the crops would die because of it. When he first got up, he still remembered the feeling of thirst. After drinking water, he forgot about it, and only remembered being hungry.

To be honest, he doesn’t really understand everyone’s emotions when they see the crops withering on the land, but he can personally feel the feeling of hunger and thirst. The biggest trouble since he was a child is Li Mingjin, whose father has been away for a long time, really. Scared.

Jiang Zhiyun frowned and put her arms around Li Mingjin, and patted him on the back lightly: "Brother Jin, don't be afraid, both parents are here, and they will take good care of Brother Jin and Kanger, and won't let you go hungry."

Under Jiang Zhiyun's comfort, Li Mingjin's mood gradually calmed down, he wiped away his tears: "Mom, what should we do?"

"You must not tell this matter to the outside world. Mother and father will discuss it with your grandma first." After speaking, Jiang Zhiyun let go of Li Mingjin and went back to the room with a serious face.

When Jiang Zhiyun first heard Li Mingjin talk about the severe drought, she was very worried. She was more worried about running out of water than simply being hungry.

Crops will wither without water, and people can’t do without water to drink. Among other things, water is necessary for cooking, and even if there is food, there is no way to eat without water.

Li Chengshi had just put on his clothes at this time, and when Jiang Zhiyun entered, he was bowing his head to button his buttons and said embarrassedly, "Mother Yun, I got up late."

In fact, Li Chengshi always got up very early when he was in the county government, and he got up late when he relaxed after returning home.

"Brother Shi, you finally came back to rest for two more days, so you don't have to wake up so early." Jiang Zhiyun stepped forward to help him tie his belt.

Only then did Li Chengshi look at Jiang Zhiyun's frowning, and asked, "I seemed to hear Brother Jin's cry just now, what's wrong with Brother Jin?"

Jiang Zhiyun felt that she might not have made brother Jin clear when she said it, and she would not be able to speak out when the husband had a problem, so she shook her head and said, "Come out and listen to brother Jin."

Li Chengshi seldom saw Jiang Zhiyun like this, he quickly put on his clothes, walked out of the room, looked at Brother Jin who was sitting in the main room with red eyes, stepped forward and hugged him: "Brother Jin, what's wrong?"

"Father!" Just now in his mother's arms, Li Mingjin couldn't hold back his tears, but this time it was in his father's arms, Li Mingjin's nose felt sour, and he wanted to cry again.

Li Chengshi looked at Jiang Zhiyun in confusion, Jiang Zhiyun explained: "It was because he had a dream last night, and he was a little scared."

"It's okay, father and mother are here, Brother Jin, don't be afraid." Li Chengshi pulled Jiang Zhiyun over and sat on the other side of Li Mingjin, making him feel safe with his parents by his side.

Li Mingjin's tears flowed down quickly, he calmed down his mood, looked at his parents and said, "Father, last night I dreamed that it would not rain for a long time, and many crops in the field withered, I was so scared, I Are you and your brother going hungry?"

"No, no, parents won't let brother Jin go hungry." Li Chengshi's consolation was very similar to that of Jiang Zhiyun, even if they were hungry, they wouldn't let their children go hungry.

After Li Mingjin's mood stabilized, Li Chengshi began to ask him questions: "Brother Jin, since when did it stop raining in your dream?"

Li Mingjin thought for a while before saying, "It didn't rain in my dream until the end of July or the beginning of August. One night there was a lot of thunder and it rained heavily, and then I woke up."

His dream lasted for a long time, since his father came back from Muxiu this time.

Spring plowing ended at about this time. It stands to reason that spring plowing is the season of continuous spring rain, but it has not rained for ten days in a row.

Li Mingjin still remembers what his father said: "There has been no rain after the spring plowing, and the harvest in the field this year may not be good. Fortunately, our village has a canal, which draws water from the shallow river, so we can water it ourselves."

Li Mingjin in the dream didn't quite understand, he asked a few words to remember so clearly.

It was the tenth day, another month passed, and there was still no rain in the sky. Old man Li began to worry every day. An experienced crop veteran like him knows very well that no rain for a month means that this year Drought is very likely.

Changping County is located in the former Han Province to the south of the Dayu Dynasty. The entire former Han Province has many rivers, large and small. Even if it does not rain for a month or two, the fields here will still not be short of water. Carry water to pour.

Although it is good that there is no rain for the time being in the original Han Province, it is not so good in other places where there are not so many rivers. Almost all the seedlings planted in spring are yellow due to lack of water.

Old man Li knew that once a drought was confirmed, people in other places without water would go to places with water. Mr. Li ran all the way to Shanghe Village because of a severe drought in his hometown and could not survive.

Old man Li has never experienced these things, but he heard a lot from the villagers and his parents when he was young, and he was very worried.

In Li Mingjin's dream, April passed, and the weather was getting warmer and warmer, but it still didn't rain.

A few years ago at this time, the water in the Qianshui River would rise a lot, and the adults in the village would warn their children every day that they must not go down the river to take a cold bath, and they should not be greedy for cold.

The water in the Qianshui River this year has remained the same as it was this winter, with little change.

In May, the weather was still dry. At this time, the crops in Shanghe Village began to show symptoms of withering and yellowing. The water in the Qianshui River became shallower and shallower, and the water in the wells in the village became more and more turbid. Everyone began to realize that this year really has There is a drought.

In June, foreigners began to pour into the original Han province. Many foreigners came from Changping County. Even Shanghe Village had some foreigners coming. They were ragged and skinny. They looked scary and pitiful. .

In July, the government issued a notice telling everyone to be careful not to accept outsiders into the village casually. The gates of the county town were also closed, and all people who wanted to enter the city had to go through layers of approval.

In early August, after five months, it finally rained.

In Li Mingjin's dream, he was awakened by the sound of rain hitting the tiles. Before waking up, he faintly heard cheers coming from outside the window, and Shanghe Village in the middle of the night was boiling like a New Year's festival.

After hearing Li Mingjin's description, Li Chengshi frowned deeper than Jiang Zhiyun did at that time. He was not only thinking about the food and drink of his family, but after becoming a servant of the county government, he was worried about the subsequent impact of the severe drought.

Jiang Zhiyun yelled twice and saw that he didn't respond, so she pushed him: "Brother Shi? Your husband?"

Li Chengshi calmed down. Now that the drought hasn't happened, it's useless for him to think about it. It's better to solve his family's worries first: "Mother Yun, let's talk to my parents first."

"Okay." Jiang Zhiyun also had the same idea. She looked at Li Mingjin, "Brother Jin, parents should go to your grandparents to discuss it. Look at your younger brother. If he urinates, you can come and call your mother."

Jiang Zhiyun takes care of Li Mingkang very carefully. Li Mingkang is older now and is easier to take care of than when he was at the beginning. He will cry a few times when he wants to pee. If Jiang Zhiyun hears it and picks him up immediately, he will not pee. On the bed, if Jiang Zhiyun didn't hear it, he would cry a few times after peeing, so that the adults could hear him and change his diaper in time.

Li Mingjin nodded to show that he knew that he would stay in the left chamber to take care of his younger brother.

Jiang Zhiyun and Li Chengshi walked into the yard, Bai Xiuhe and Li Caoye had already gone out to sell rice noodles, Li Chengzhi and Li old man were repairing farm tools at the door.

Seeing someone, Li Chengshi shouted: "Father, brother."

Li Chengzhi raised his head and glanced at them: "Third Brother, Brother and Sister, what are you doing here?"

Li Chengshi smiled, and said a little embarrassedly: "Let's talk to my mother, and I'm not sure about something."

He didn't tell the news about the severe drought in front of his elder brother. It's not that Li Chengshi doesn't trust his elder brother, but he wants to protect his brother Jin. One more person who knows about Jin's special features makes Jin more dangerous.

Li Chengzhi didn't care, he lowered his head and continued to repair the farm tools: "Mother is already up, she's in the house."

When Li Chengshi and the others entered the room, Mrs. Li was sitting on a stool peeling peanuts. She was thinking that her third son had finally come back for two days, and she was going to cook his favorite peanut roast at noon today.

Mrs. Li heard the words in the yard, and she asked, "Third brother, why do you two want to ask me for advice?"

Li Chengshi and Jiang Zhiyun sat down and helped Old Madam Li peel peanuts: "Mother, it's Brother Jin's business. Something happened last night, and Yunniang and I are uncertain."

When Mrs. Li heard this, she immediately understood what Li Chengshi meant. It wasn't that they were unsure about something, it was because Brother Jin had a dream last night that they came to look for her.
