The happy little days of the Ye family

It rained all night last night. Thinking about the rice in the fields, Tang Xiaojing and Tangshan got up before dawn.

It rained and thundered last night. Chenchen cried for a long time and Ye Qingqing coaxed her for half the night.

When Tang Xiaojing got up, mother and son were still asleep.

Tang Xiaojing went to check the fields at home in a hurry and cooked some sweet potatoes and eggs for breakfast.

The father and son didn't have time to have breakfast at home. After warming some breakfast and giving it to Ye Qingqing in the pot, they took the sweet potatoes and hurried out.

Seeing the oxcart, Dahuang and Xiaohuang jumped on it consciously, while Heidou and Xiaohua were left at home to look after the house.

Last night, it rained heavily in the first half of the night and the paddy fields were full of water.

Some of the rice knocked down by the rain flowed into the river at the bottom of the valley with the overflowing water.

Early in the morning, the long-term worker released the ducks, and a group of ducks happily pecked at the rice floating in the river.

"Yeah ah..."

"Yeah ah..."

These fat ducks in the river happily ate their fill, and the happy voices of these little guys could be heard from two miles away.

But the long-term workers in the fields all looked sad.

Fortunately, the long-term workers of the Tang family are all experienced farmers, and they came to work in the fields early.

Afraid that the rice in the water would run away with the released water, a sack was used to catch it at the water outlet.

The rice in the water flows into the sack with the current.

The long-term workers sighed while working.

"I have been working diligently for half a year, but I didn't expect that the harvest was almost over, and there was a heavy rain, and so much rice was ruined."

"That's right, it's only a few days away. The rice hasn't grown yet. There are only husks. Even if you catch them, they won't be of much use."

Some of the rice flowed out with the water, but most of it was still blocked by weeds and rice.

But there is nothing we can do. We can only wait until the rice is harvested, and then drive the ducks into the fields to eat the rice.

In addition to rice, a small part of the corn in the field also fell down, but it was not a big problem and could continue to grow after being fixed.

Peanuts, which are already short, can be said to be almost unaffected.

When Tang Xiaojing and Tang Shan came over, the long-term workers were busy in the paddy fields.

There were also several sacks of rice salvaged from the fields placed on the ridge.

The father and son came to the ridge of the field and picked up the rice in the sack and weighed it.

Even after soaking in water, it's not heavy. It looks like it hasn't grown yet, so it's light and airy.

The father and son felt very distressed as they looked at the originally crowded rice ears in the paddy fields, but now they were much sparser.

Alas, how much food was lost.

Tang Xiaojing saw that his family's long-term workers were doing things in an orderly manner, so he handed over the family's fields to them.

Then he took Tangshan up the mountain to check out the herbs planted in spring.

After the beginning of spring, most of the herbs planted on the mountain are precious herbs.

These herbs have been planted for a long time. Although they have been planted for half a year, they are still small and small.

The rain last night was heavy and fast, and Tang Xiaojing was worried that the herb seedlings would be damaged by the rain.

The father and son went to Stone Mountain first.

Most of the herbs planted at the foot of the mountain are short-lived common herbs. Even those planted at the beginning of the year, they all grow very strong.

Washed by the rain, it looks lush and green, and is not affected by the rain.

The two of them ignored the ordinary herbs at the foot of the mountain and walked quickly up the mountain.

When we were almost halfway up the mountain, there were a lot of valuable herbs around. The herbs planted in previous years were growing well, so we were not afraid of the rain.

But the new herbal seedlings planted this year are now only finger-high. They were shaken by the heavy rain last night, and many of them were broken at the waist.

Looking at these lopsided herbal seedlings, the father and son felt heartbroken as if their own hearts were bleeding.

Most of the food at the foot of the mountain was taken care of by long-term workers, and some food was damaged. Although the father and son were very heartbroken, they were not too sad.

But these herbs are different. From planting to weeding, the father and son handle them hand in hand.

Moreover, the two of them would go up the mountain every now and then, and their feelings for these herbs were extraordinary.

The two carefully fixed the swaying herbs, and then covered the bottom with a layer of soil.

Even if the waist was broken, the two of them covered it with a layer of soil again. It should be able to continue to grow after a while.

The father and son divided their forces into two groups and inspected all the herbs in the mountains.

The herbs planted in previous years had almost no impact, but the new seedlings planted this year have lost about 10%.

When the father and son came down from Stone Mountain, it was already time for lunch.

Tang Shan looked at his son, "Should we go back to eat at noon, or should we make do with Chang Gong's place?"

Tang Xiaojing thought of Ye Qingqing at home, "Dad, let's go home and eat first. It rained so heavily last night, so Qingqing is probably very worried about the situation here."

"That's right, let's go back to eat, and then come over and visit Rabbit Mountain in the afternoon."

Tang Xiaojin just took out the ox cart under the shade of the tree, and the family's long-term laborer came over carrying several sacks of rice.

"Boss, these rice were all knocked down by yesterday's rain. It's a pity that they haven't grown yet, and the rice grains inside are still very small."

Tang Xiaojing felt a little depressed and said lightly:

"There is nothing we can do. We can only take it back and dry it, and then use it to feed the chickens."

A few people moved several sacks of rice to the bullock cart in a few clicks.

Before the father and son got on, Dahuang and Xiaohuang on the side jumped onto the bullock cart anxiously.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

Da Huang on the ox cart glanced at Tang Xiaojing and urged him to come up quickly.

Xiao Jing knew at a glance that Dahuang was hungry and urged him to go back to eat.

Looking at the dull Dahuang, Tang Xiaojing smiled and felt much better.

The two of them didn't go far when they saw Wang Xiaoshan and his son sitting on the edge of the field eating pancakes on the side of Stone Mountain.

Tang Xiaojing greeted the two of them cordially, "Uncle Wang, Xiaoshan, how are your fields here?"

"It's Mr. Jing. The rice has been knocked down a lot by the rain, but fortunately we don't have much paddy field at home, and the corn in the field is still growing well."

The 10 acres of land that the Wang family opened up was the remaining corner of the village, and it was not good land.

The father and son only cultivated three acres of paddy fields, and the rest was dry land, so the losses were not huge.

Wang Xiaoshan on the side asked worriedly: "Brother Jing, how is the paddy field over there?"

Tang Xiaojing sighed: "A lot of rice was knocked down by the rain. This year's summer harvest will be at least 20% less."

Tangshan on the side also said gloomily:

"Oh, God is not kind to us, farmers like us are suffering."

"Brother Jing, let's go hunting in the mountains when there is a break from farming. At least we can help make up for the family's losses."

Wang Xiaoshan is getting married at the end of the year and wants to make more money before getting married.

"It's not urgent. Let's wait until the summer harvest is over."

Tang Xiaojing was anxious to go back for dinner. After chatting for a few words, he hurried home in a bullock cart.
