Reborn Farmhouse Restaurant [Transmigration Book]

It was April, and there were only a few light rains in Pingxing County. Sure enough, as everyone predicted, the drought came, and the business of Du Qingchen Restaurant became worse. If it didn't rain, even the merchants felt anxious. Leisurely and leisurely eat out, let alone ordinary people.

On this day, the door was also closed early. Du Qingchen let the guys go back to irrigate the fields. These people have farmland in their homes. Even at night, the few wells were overcrowded, and the villagers lined up to fetch water from the wells and drive them into the fields.

Du Qingchen comforted the crowd and told them to come later. Anyway, there are no customers in the store these days, and he and Su Dong can hold on. If there is something urgent, it's okay not to come. home.

Su Dong came out from the backyard, "Don't we need to go home and water the ground?"

Du Qingchen turned around, shook his head and smiled wryly, "It's okay, Dad said, our family is not short of the grain in the field now, so I won't let Ru Lin and I water the field. Forget about this season's crops!" He wants to do business Du Rulin's review is an important thing. Du's father is not as petty as before, and he can clearly distinguish the priorities of many things.

Su Dong nodded, with a sad face, because Du Qingchen can make money, and the family has piled up a lot of food, so there is no need to irrigate the land, but the Su family still needs it. Acres of fields can't be watered enough!He was afraid that his parents would not rest day and night just to water more fields.

Su Dong thought of this, and said to Du Qingchen, "I want to go home and have a look, okay?"

There are almost no customers in the restaurant these few days, even the passing merchants in the county, and they have no intention of going to the restaurant to eat and drink. There is no money for food. At this time, the restaurant is the first place where the restaurant spends money to enjoy, and the business is affected first, so even if he goes home for a while, he will not delay the restaurant.

Du Qingchen was about to nod his head when he thought of something, "Is your house watering the ground now?"

Su Dong lowered his head and stopped talking. After all, the Su family is the Su family. Su's father and Su's mother are all people with hands, feet and labor. Unless they are old and sick and unable to move, they will not come to rely on Du Qingchen, so Well, it's the Du family that is rich, not the Su family. Then, Su's father and Su's mother must be watering the house at this moment!But Su Dong didn't want to tell Du Qingchen, he was afraid that Du Qingchen would listen, and he would either give him money to let him go back, hoping that his parents would give up this season's grain, or accompany him back to water the water, he didn't want Du Qingchen to bear that kind of hard work .

He can just go back by himself!

Su Dong raised his head and smiled, "No! After all, my family has a lot of land and there are so few wells in the village. How can I water it? Besides, my family's savings are good, and my parents probably don't. I just go back and have a look."

His family has a lot of savings because Su's father and Su's mother are hardworking and capable, so they will not give up this season's food!

Du Qingchen nodded slightly when he heard the words. His mind is full of drought and restaurant business now, but he doesn't have such a delicate mind to think about it. It's good for Su Dong to go back and have a look. Before, he, Su Junxia and the Qiu family worked together to buy food together. , After tossing and tossing for more than a month, I bought almost enough food through many merchants, and stored them in the warehouses of their own homes.

Du Qingchen's share of grain is hidden in his home. His yard is huge, and he has built a new house these days, but it has been useless. Now that he bought grain, he just temporarily used it as a granary. It is precisely because of this, Only then did Father Du have the confidence to say that he would give up this season's grain, because his family's food stock was almost enough for their entire village to survive the drought this season, so Father Du was naturally not afraid.

Su Dong became happy, and drove the ox cart by himself that day, and brought gifts prepared by Du Qingchen, such as bacon, vegetables, rice noodles, etc., back to Sujia Village.

In the Su family village, almost everyone is fighting the drought at the moment. Even the children of a few years old are ignorant and ignorant. They hold the clay pots and wooden basins at home, and pour water into the field time after time. Some of them were joking while walking with water in their hands, not at all as sad as adults.

If Du Qingchen saw this scene, he would probably feel sad and helpless. In this era, there are no glue pipes or water pumps. It is all manual labor to fetch water from the well and transport it to the fields for irrigation. This tiny amount of water has almost no effect on the drought. , but for farmers, as long as there is one more seedling alive, they can harvest a little more food, so they are not willing to give up.

"Su Dong is back? Your parents are not at home right now, they are watering the fields east of your house!" The neighbors of the nearby village saw Su Dong coming back with a bullock cart, wiped off their sweat and greeted , his eyes fell on the bullock cart, and he smiled enviously: "Oh, my uncle asked me to bring this back! Brother Dong is lucky, don't look at how many years he hasn't married, this marriage is worse than Others marry a thousand times better, even if the crops in your field are dried up, it’s okay! Such a good son-in-law, how can you not care about your parents?"

Su Dong lowered his head and only responded with a couple of hums. He raised his hand and pulled the cloth covering the bullock cart. It was just lifted by the wind, and he didn't notice it, so the things underneath were exposed.

"What's the cover? Such a good son-in-law, you should let other people see it, be jealous, and be ashamed of those sons-in-law who only care about watering their own house and forget about their father-in-law's house, aren't they all fathers! I don’t even think about the hard work here.”

Su Dong didn't say anything. The villager who was talking to him also had a brother's child and was married, so he probably didn't come to help, that's why he said such sour words.But Su Dong can also understand that the villagers in ten miles and eight townships, except for Du Qingchen, who has the confidence to help others water the water, if the Du family is farming at the moment, it is him, I am afraid that there is no way It is reasonable to come back to help.

Su Dong drove the ox cart home, and the door of the house was closed, but Su Dong knew where the house keys were usually hidden, so he opened the door, pulled the ox cart in, tied it up, and unloaded the car. , By the way, changed into a neat bunt, took the bucket and locked the door and went to the east field.

There are only a few wells in the village. If you want to water the land in the east, then the nearest one is the one on the east side of the village. Su Dong took a bucket and went to line up at the mouth of the well. The mouth of the well was overcrowded, like a market, but everyone was tired Unbearable, although they were chatting loudly, most of the conversations were related to the weather, and the more they talked, the more frightened they became.

"Brother Dong, why are you back? Where's Du Qingchen?" Mother Su pushed the people around Su Dong away with her buttocks on her shoulder, and forced her way in.

"Oh! Here's the queue!"

"My brother can take the place here, can't it!" Mother Su glared, and the village woman behind her rolled her eyes, turned her head away and stopped talking. If you dare to provoke her, it means that Su Dong is indeed standing in front of her. Mother Su is justified. Many villagers are afraid of tiring their children and want to carry more water. So, of course, it cannot be refuted.

"Mom, I thought you must be watering, so I came back to help." Su Dong replied.

Mother Su looked around, but she didn't see Du Qingchen, so she asked.

"Qingchen still has to take care of the store! The Du family can't even take care of their own land, so how can they tell where they came from? I'm here to water the water and I'm keeping it from him, just saying that I'm visiting relatives, so as not to embarrass him." Su Dong answer.

Mother Su was stunned and sighed, she could understand, but Mother Su still touched Su Dong's head in distress, "Since the Du family wants to take care of the store, you are now a Du family, what kind of work do you want to do when you come back?" It's not tiring enough! Let me tell you, carrying water is the most tiring job, and it takes a lot of effort. With your body, how can you have such great strength? If Su Nuan..."

Mother Su's face turned cold, and she silently shut her mouth. Even if Su Nuan is strong, her family can't afford such a precious master, so let's not mention it!

"It's okay, I can choose less." Su Dong also knew that he was not strong enough, but he really wanted to help.

Mother Su finally sighed and accepted Su Dong's kindness.

After they got in line, Mother Su fetched two buckets of water and carried them on a pole, while Su Dong could only move one bucket with great difficulty, so he swayed from side to side with great difficulty. After he weighed the bucket, he followed Mother Su and flowed into the field with the flow of people. go.

Du Qingchen originally thought that Su Dong would come back soon, but Su Dong didn't go home that day. He was a little surprised, but he only thought that he was living in his natal family, so he didn't think too much about it. He never thought that after his wife married him, So I can't go back to my mother's house. After all, it's Su Dong's home for nearly 20 years, so it's okay to go home for a few days.

Du Rulin returned to the restaurant after leaving the private school and found no sign of Su Dong. He even asked Du Qingchen, and Du Qingchen told him that Du Rulin had other opinions on this.

"Sister-in-law is going back to help carry water for the family!" Du Rulin said with almost certainty.

"Carrying water?" Although Du Qingchen has lived in the village for almost a year, because he has never encountered a drought, and he missed the busy farming season because of a serious injury, Du Qingchen can't imagine how hard it is for farmers to go to the fields. , it is also very difficult to have such a consciousness as Du Rulin, and be able to realize the current state of the Su family in the first place.

But when Du Rulin mentioned this, he suddenly realized, "Su Dong went back to help carry water!"

"Yes, our family has given up this season's crops, but the Su family still has to cultivate the land, so it must be watering right now!"

Du Qingchen thought of seeing the busy and exhausted villagers in the village when he went home a few days ago, and suddenly became anxious, "No, I have to go and see!" Du Qingchen thought of it and went.

"Brother! Are you going to open the restaurant tomorrow?" The guys don't know if they can still come, even if there are only one or two customers, the restaurant needs someone to take care of it!If Du Qingchen left like this again, he would be the only one in the restaurant.

"It's okay, if I can't come back, the store should be closed first! Anyway, our family is not the only one closed on the street, not surprising!" Du Qingchen ordered, and went to Sujia Village before it was dark.
