Chapter 113 112. The Rain Keeps Falling
The heavy rain has not stopped since yesterday afternoon, and in the middle of the night, there was a sudden lightning and thunder. By seven or eight o'clock the next morning, the sky was still covered with dark clouds, and the rain There is no sign of abating either.

"If it doesn't rain, it won't rain all the time. There wasn't even a sign before this one, and it's endless. You say this thief is the master of the day." Nothing can be done on a rainy day, and the family can only Sitting in the house and staring outside, Aunt Liao's pigweed is gone, and she is in a hurry right now.

Yang Juyun said, "It's nothing. I want to go out and cut two corn stalks, but that cow has been mooing in that shed all morning. I can't bear to hear it."

Aunt Liao said, "I'm so happy that you broke all the corn back two days ago. You said that your corn is so mature. If you let it hang in the field all the time, and it rains so much, it will come to an end. The time will definitely be to sprout."

Yang Juyun sighed with luck, "Yeah, thanks to your help that day, I am worried about the millet in the field now. You said that it is the time for earing and flowering. If it keeps falling like this, this year's millet will definitely be harvested." There will be a lot of empty shells."

"Yeah, ordinary people like us, don't we rely on the sky for our food? God, it doesn't rain all the time and the crops don't get a harvest, but it's not good if it rains all the time, and it's easy to get no harvest. It's hard to be a farmer, especially It is even more difficult to be a farmer here.

There are weir ponds, reservoirs and so on in other places, whether it is a year of good weather or a year of drought and flood, it will always be much better than ours.

Look at our place, there is no weir pond, no reservoir, only a small ditch built along the mountain wall to divert water, and when the weather is dry, water must be diverted from far away for irrigation.

It’s good that there is plenty of water there. If there is not enough water, we can only stare dryly. If it rains suddenly like this for a few days, the crops in the fields will be flooded. ,” Aunt Liao also sighed.

After coming here for so long, Xiang Jin realized that their place turned out to be like this, a place where people can eat and survive purely on the face of God.

Then she heard Xiang Nan who was sitting on the side suddenly ask, "Then why don't we have a reservoir and weir pond here?"

Aunt Liao said, "Our brigade has a small population. There are only six production teams in the whole brigade. The total number of people is only three to four hundred households. How can we have manpower, material resources, and funds to repair?"

Hearing this, Xiang Jin couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Suddenly, Xiang Jin became interested in how Xiang Hai went to Shanghai to work, so she just asked.

Yang Juyun didn't say a word at first, Aunt Liao looked at Yang Juyun worriedly, and Xiang Jin rolled her eyes to the sky in a speechless manner when she saw their reaction.

"Mom, do you still mind? I don't think there is anything taboo or evasive about mentioning the members of Lao Xiang's family. Anyway, you don't have any feelings for that family. Why are you so secretive? Are you Timid, or hypocritical?
In short, I don't like you who are so lonely. I think that no matter what happens to you, you should be able to take it and let it go. You should look forward and don't always be immersed in the past. You didn't have that before. How wonderful, what is there to immerse and remember?
Blindly immersing yourself in the old days can only prove your timidity and cowardice. "

Xiang Nan on the side kept nodding and said, "Well, I think my sister is right, you can't be uncomfortable when you mention that the members of the old Xiang's family don't keep their voices open, they are not some big monsters, you Why are you afraid to mention them?
Every time you do that, it feels like we did something wrong or said something wrong, and it's not uncomfortable at all. "

Aunt Liao said with a gratified smile, "Ju Yun, I think these two girls are better than you, and they will definitely live more freely than you in the future."

Yang Juyun said, "I'm not afraid, why am I afraid? What are they, I'm just a little nervous."

"What's there to respond to?" Xiang Jin followed up and persuaded, "Mom, you have to be able to deal with it calmly no matter who is mentioned in the old Xiang's family, so that your practice will be considered perfect. gone."

Yang Juyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Are you still practicing?"

Xiang Jin said seriously, "That's right, isn't conquering one's own mentality just practice?"

Aunt Liao suddenly asked, "Oh, girl Jin, you should know how to get to Shanghai from Xiang Hai?"

"I know that he went to Shanghai for a few years, but I don't know how he got there. He used to ignore us all the time, so how could I care about him?" Xiang Jin's lie was just a matter of course.

Aunt Liao nodded, "This is true."

Then Yang Juyun said to them, "Although he is unqualified in being a human being, his brickwork skills are still good. At that time, Shanghai was engaged in economic construction, developed the Pudong area, and recruited brickworkers, carpenters, and masons from all over the country. Technical talents.

Therefore, every township has such indicators, and then recruits and selects such talents wantonly.

Your grandpa Zeng was still the deputy mayor of the town at that time, and based on the principle of making friends between neighbors, he asked a few young people in our bay who also had brick crafts to go for an interview.

If it is selected, it is an opportunity to go out to seek development. If it is not selected, it does not matter, at worst it will take up a day.

So, Xiang Hai went with a few young people. It is said that he did a good job of plastering. There was an assessment wall that was almost two meters high. He reached the top, flattened it, and was left on the spot.

It is said that there were [-] or [-] brickworkers in the township who went to the assessment at that time, but in the end only nine were left, and there were only three left in our bay. Therefore, he went to Greater Shanghai in this way. "

Xiang Jin propped his chin and nodded, "Oh, so that's it?"

Aunt Liao said, "Isn't he like this? Otherwise, how can you think he has any capital?"

Xiang Jin couldn't help curling her lips inwardly, would it be embarrassing to go to Shanghai?What's so embarrassing about that?In her previous life, she didn't know how many times she traveled to Greater Shanghai, as well as some other major cities across the country. She almost traveled the entire Greater China, and she didn't think there was anything to be ashamed of.

It really is a villain's success!
Xiang Jin suddenly stood up from the simple fabric stool, and greeted several people, "I'll go to Huangye Bay to see grandpa."

Yang Juyun said, "Your grandfather is fine. When I delivered the meal in the morning, the shed was dry inside and out."

Xiang Jin put on her rain boots and said, "I know, didn't you say that his nose felt a little uncomfortable when he woke up in the morning? I'll go and see him right now to see if he's feeling better? Also, let me ask him what he wants to eat at noon. What, I'll do it for him."

Yang Juyun nodded, "Okay, then put on that big umbrella."

"Got it," Xiang Jin took some cold medicine from the house, and then opened the umbrella and went out.

But when she came back from watching her grandpa, she still couldn't help but abducted to Grandma Mo's house to have a look. After all, they still got caught in the rain yesterday to help them, so they still had to care about it. Greetings all at once.

Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng also had nothing to do. The two old people were sitting in the room watching TV. When they saw her coming, they hurriedly lowered their voices and greeted her, "Girl Jin is here? Come and sit down?"

Xiang Jin ruined his hand and waved, "Grandma Mo and Grandpa Zeng, you don't have to be so polite, I just came in to see you, don't you and Grandpa Zeng have a cold?"

Grandma Mo smiled and said, "No, no, we are all fine. We ate after we came back from your place last night."

Xiang Jin was a little surprised, "You didn't seem to have a cold at the time, so you took it?" As the saying goes, medicine is three-point poisonous, and people who are in good health generally don't take medicine.

Grandpa Zeng knew what she was worried about, so he said, "It's okay, it's okay, there's nothing wrong with taking it once or twice, and it's not a long-term use. Like the rain yesterday, it's better to prevent it in advance."

Xiang Jin nodded, and then talked about another matter, "Grandma Mo, Grandpa Zeng, thank you, I just saw that you spread out the corn cobs on the eaves for us, I also said that I was here to dry it by myself, but you helped us, it is really troublesome to you."

Grandma Mo said, "What's the trouble? That's not troublesome at all, and it didn't take us much time. We pushed it away with that rake, and it took only a few minutes and 10 minutes to spread it out to bag the corn." Not afraid of growing buds.

In the future, your bag of rice can be spread directly on the eaves of our street, and there is no need to move it to Yuanbatou. It is the same to dry on the eaves of the street. "

Xiang Jin nodded, "Well, yes!"
