Fast-travel counterattack: The villain boss, teasing the wrong person

Chapter 148: Survival in the Drought Year (38)

Grandpa became majestic, and everyone was startled, and they all answered yes in unison.

However, apart from the grandfather, father, and Suning who knew the real reason, the grandmother and mother said yes, but they didn't take it seriously. Could it be that the old man (father-in-law) can really see which family is hungry and refuses to lend some food?

Grandpa also guessed what they were thinking, but he didn't say much. Anyway, when the seeds were planted in the spring and the family was free, the family would move into the mountains. When the time came, they wouldn't be able to get out, and they wouldn't be able to see outsiders, so no one would hold them back.

At this moment, grandpa was very thankful that the old woman and daughter-in-law had no relatives at home, otherwise, according to their temperament, their family would have to follow the old road in Chunhuameng.

The village discussed and discussed, and it was not decided who should go to the county government to inquire.

One is that people at this time are instinctively afraid of the government, and the other is that if the news is accidentally leaked, the person who inquired about the news must bear the responsibility.

If there is no drought, it will be unavoidable to be charged with disturbing the law and order and spreading rumors, and he will be jailed.

For the ignorant villagers, it was really scary.

And just in the midst of mutual excuses, this year has passed, the grass leaves on the ground have sprouted yellow-green buds from the soil, and brown spores have already sprouted on the branches, and they will germinate only when conditions are sufficient.

What the wind blows brings is no longer cold, but warm and soft breath. The children in the village took off their thick cotton clothes, put on spring shirts, and ran from the village head to the village tail, laughing all over the village. The trails, it seems, are the only way to celebrate the arrival of spring.

Grandpa sat on the bench and looked at the row of trees beside the courtyard wall, then swept the leek sprouts and green onion sprouts on the ground, and looked at the sky worriedly. If there is no rain, this stubble vegetable will not grow.

The only thing that gives him confidence is that during this period of time, the family has brought back a lot of coarse grains, and the radishes and cabbages grown in the Wild Boar Ridge can also last for several months.

He doesn't have to worry about his own family starving, and he doesn't have to worry about someone trying to eat his grandchildren.

Understanding Grandpa's thoughts, Su Ning walked over and whispered, "Grandpa, I guess it will rain in the next few days. After this rain, let's go into the mountains?"

In fact, it is best to wait until the well at home is dry before leaving, but it would be too eye-catching to leave at that time, and they also need to reserve water in advance, so they have to leave early.

Grandpa nodded and took Suning's hand, "Let's go, we two will go down to the cellar and put them back together."

There are also a lot of things in the cellar, except for the coarse grains, sweet potatoes, and dried vegetables that were replaced after returning this time, which are hundreds of kilograms.

If it is transported to the mountains, it can't be finished at one time.

But Su Ning is not worried, she plans to ask Cheng Yongxu to borrow his space equipment.

In this way, the family can travel lightly, otherwise it would be like moving house, isn't it arousing suspicion?

……

Under the anticipation of the villagers, the first spring rain and the last rain in three years finally came.

Dark clouds billowed in the sky, it was just after noon, and the sky was as dark as night.

The wind was blowing, and almost half of the newly grown shoots were blown off, and the branches creaked.

Spit out the dust in the mouth, adults and children all have smiles on their faces.

Letting the dirty dust splash all over his body is not willing to enter the house.

The women shook their heads, it's rare that they didn't care about this belated willfulness, even they themselves wanted to go out to catch the first raindrops, but they just didn't want to let their clothes get dirty.

With his pipe in his mouth, Grandpa kept saying sorry, "If I knew this was the last rain, I should have put more pots on the ground."

Grandpa was talking about the pots in Wild Boar Ridge. Except for some pickled vegetables, the rest were placed on the open ground by Grandpa, thinking that they would catch some snow water when they were away.

It hasn't snowed since they left, don't even think about snow, but there is rain.

When the time comes to clarify, people can also drink.

As grandpa's words fell, a bright lightning flashed across the night sky, illuminating the small courtyard.

Grandma shouted from the house, "Come in, it's going to thunder."

Suning dragged his grandfather into the house, and his father threw four or five wooden barrels into the yard.

The old lady stuffed Dahe into the grandfather's arms, "Chunhua, Goudan, Dali, go and change the clothes on your body, mother will wash them together later."

Mother was worried that she would not be able to wash the clothes a few times in the future, so she was washing vigorously while there was water.

When Su Ning entered the bedroom, he heard the sound of raindrops pattering on the window sill. He tilted his head and saw that the raindrops were not small, they were as big as wet fingernails.

The wind has stopped, leaving only the sound of rain. The sweltering heat and irritability of these days are all dissipated as soon as the rain falls, making people feel unspeakably comfortable and at ease.

Thinking that there will be no rain in the next three years, Suning quickly changed his clothes and scrambled to help his father put the wooden basin in the yard to catch water, just to get some rain.

Even grandpa couldn't hold back and walked around the yard.

As the rain became heavier and heavier, the wooden basins and barrels were all filled with water. The old lady and grandma took off the sheets and quilt covers and washed them while it was still a little bright.

The ropes in the house are full to dry.

The rain came and went quickly.

At this time, many puddles had accumulated on the uneven parts of the ground, so we had to avoid them when walking.

When the rain stopped, it was only late in the evening, and a rainbow hung in the sky, causing the children to shout excitedly.

Being carried out by his father, Dahe looked at the rainbow drooling, waving his little hands, babbling, not knowing what he was talking about.

Goudan hugged his father's leg, feeling a little wronged, since his younger brother was born, his father stopped hugging him.

……

On the morning of the second day after the rain, Suning found that the weeds in the corner of the wall were verdant, with young leaves spreading out on the branches, and even the leek buds and scallions in her family were growing gratifyingly.

It won’t take a few days to eat the first batch, the tender leeks are paired with golden eggs——

Scrambled eggs with leeks, leek boxes, dumplings with leek meat, cold leeks, grilled leeks...

Su Ning couldn't help drooling, she really wanted to eat them, but unfortunately she had to leave before they grew up.

Grandma looked amused and said, "Okay, when we leave, grandma will dig two roots and bring them with you, so you can eat them for sure."

Suning's eyes lit up, "Grandma is the best!"

Grandma touched her hair and teased her, "Grandma didn't do well yesterday?"

"Yesterday was fine, grandma is fine every day!"

"As long as you have a sweet mouth, grandma will fry a box for you to eat."

This was unprecedented in previous years, and the original body had never received such treatment!
"Grandma, you are the nicest person in the world!" Suning Rainbow jumped out as if he didn't want money.

Grandma sighed, "This means that there is a lot of meat and suet at home this year, otherwise I would not be willing."

Su Ning hugged grandma's arm considerately, "The situation of our family will get better and better in the future."
