Chapter 15 Sprained Foot

When everyone came back and heard that pumpkins were rarely impossible to make, they were also worried that they would not be able to eat pumpkins in the future, and they knew that they could be planted, so they were relieved.

The five pumpkins are big and round, enough for the family to eat for a while. Recently, there are only a few children eating at home, and the other four adults have two meals out, which saves a lot of food for the family.Just wait until the early rice is harvested today, and there will be income, and then Cuicui's wedding will also arrive.

The Wu family's emphasis on farmland also affects the attention of lotus. After all, the key points of this era are different from those of modern times. In their eyes, the field is the root, and rich people don't enclose more fields.

However, the weather has been extremely dry these past few days, and the fields are all dry and cracked. The lotus often follows Mrs. Zhang to the fields to have a look. Some of the rice leaves are beginning to curl up. If it doesn’t rain, they will dry up to death. Don’t mention how anxious the lotus is. Yes, if the harvest is not good, next year we will rarely see rice.

However, seeing Mrs. Zhang's unworried appearance, I was a little confused.Lotus had no choice but to ask her: "Mother, will our rice dry out?"

When Mrs. Zhang heard He Hua's question, she looked back at her. Her face was full of anxiety, as if she was very worried. He Hua has become more and more different since she fell into the water. She is a farmer, and she can't describe it well. This place is my own home, unlike before, where I don't care about anything except my timidity.So he replied in a good-tempered manner: "The head of our family said that it will rain soon. The ridge of the field was built the day before yesterday, so that the water will not leak out easily."

Yeah?The lotus looked up at the hot sun in the sky, but it really didn't look like it was going to rain. Alas, there is no weather forecast for this place.

Facts have proved that farmers really depend on the weather for their food, and the changes in the weather are not comparable to those of us.The sun was still shining brightly in the morning, but in the afternoon the weather suddenly became very sultry. After a while, a cool wind blew by, and the raindrops began to drop, small at first, and then bigger and bigger.

Mrs. Zhang found an old oil-paper umbrella: "Lotus, Xiaobao is about to leave school, hurry up and give him an umbrella."

"But, I don't know where he goes to school."

"Just walk half an hour to the right at the entrance of the village, and you can easily see that there is only one school in these villages near Zhangjia Village. You can just ask anyone."

"Okay, I'll go right away." She took the umbrella. "Is this the only umbrella in my mother's house?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Mrs. Zhang asked puzzled.

"I gave the umbrella to Xiaobao, what will my father and elder brother and second elder brother do when they come back?" He couldn't let them get wet, He Hua thought to himself.

"They are strong, it doesn't matter, there is a covering cloth on the bullock cart, so they can't get wet from the rain. Go quickly." Zhang urged.

"Then I'm leaving." Lotus stopped talking nonsense, held up her umbrella and went out.

It was only when she walked in the rain that she realized how heavy the rain was. She walked towards the entrance of the village with one foot deep and one foot shallow.At first she would walk on the grass, but then she stepped on the mud, which was dirty anyway.According to what Mrs. Zhang said, turn right at the entrance of the village, and after walking for about half an hour, I saw the place where Xiaobao went to school.

The lotus stopped, stretched her feet out of the umbrella, and washed the shoes clean with rainwater.Only then did he walk into the school.

When Zhang Jian saw the lotus flowers coming from the rain, he opened his mouth wide in fright, and his long snot flowed into his mouth without realizing it."Your little daughter-in-law is so beautiful."

When Wu Jiafan saw him like this, he was so angry that he turned around and knocked on his classmate's head, "Wipe your bum clean!" Then he glared at her angrily: "Why did you come here to embarrass yourself?"

"In that case, you should go back in the rain!" Lotus Hua rolled her eyes, this child who doesn't know good people.

He ran excitedly: "You are specially here to give me an umbrella!"

"If your mother hadn't told me to give you an umbrella, I wouldn't have given it away. Anyway, it would embarrass you, wouldn't it?"

"Hehe, let's go back quickly." Wu Jiafan said hello to the others and was about to leave with the lotus.

"Wait, Wu Anhe, why didn't we see anyone else, let him go with us." He Hua looked around, not knowing where he was, although Mrs. Zhang didn't pay attention to him, she couldn't favor one person over another.What's more, she felt that Wu Anhe was much more well-behaved than Wu Jiafan, and it was normal for her to care more about him.Who doesn't like well-behaved and sensible children.

"I'll ask him to come out!" Wu Jiafan ran to the school and saw him still sitting at the table, and called to him, "Hehua brought us an umbrella, come out quickly."

The three squeezed an umbrella and left.

Not long after the three of them left, a ten-year-old girl came over with an umbrella. She was the youngest daughter of the husband's family here. She looked around and asked if she didn't see the person she was looking for. : "Where is Wu Jiafan?"

Zhang Jian said: "I was picked up by someone else's little wife. I heard Wu Ping say that Wu Jiafan has a beautiful daughter-in-law. I didn't expect it to be true. She looks like a little fairy. Hehe!"

"Hey, you big-headed ghost." The little girl yelled unhappily.Stomp left angrily.

This oil-paper umbrella is not that big, barely enough for two children to cover it, but it would be too crowded for three people.In order to prevent Wu Jiafan from getting caught in the rain, Mrs. Zhang will scold her again when she sees her precious son getting wet when she returns.She asked Wu Jiafan to stand in the middle.

Wu Anhe pushed the umbrella towards her, "You're already getting wet, just put the umbrella in the middle."

"Anyway, my clothes were already wet when I came here. If you get wet, your mother will feel sorry for you." He Hua said as she rushed home, thinking that the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and there will be water in the fields tomorrow Well, it seems that this year God is still helping poor farmers.

Thinking of the importance Mother attached to him, he might really scold He Hua, so he bowed his head silently and walked forward.

Wu Jiafan saw that the rain had wetted Hehua's shoulders, and said to her, "Why don't we change positions, I'm a man, so a little rain is nothing."

Lotus gave him a squinting look: "You can't do it anymore, do you want me to not be able to eat tonight again!" A child with a mother is like a treasure, and a child without a mother is like a grass.She is the weed that falls as soon as you see it.

Wu Jiafan knew that she was still resenting the fact that her mother punished her not to eat, so she muttered, "Stingy!" and walked forward with his head buried.

When they got home, the people who went out to work also came back. Seeing that the rain was about to fall, the boss asked them to go home early, and the bullock cart sent them directly to the door, but they didn't get much rain.Only the He family is not with them all the way, and they haven't arrived home yet.

It was almost time for Mrs. He to go home, so Wu Anfu rushed into the rain with the umbrella.The little man is weak in the rain.What a good boy who loves his mother, He Hua thought enviously.

After a while, Mrs. He walked into the house quickly with her youngest son in her arms, bringing a whole body of moisture, but everyone didn't mind, everyone was looking forward to the coming of the rain.
