Young rich peasants

A few days after the seedlings were planted, the weather suddenly changed and there was a heavy rainstorm.After that, it rained intermittently for several days, and the corridor next to the courtyard could not stand, and the rainwater went straight to the eaves of the house.

Zaozi looked at the sky in the main room with little Ayue in his arms, the dark clouds were piled up heavily and glowed dark green, and the room could hardly be seen.Little Ah Yue hugged her little daddy tightly, staring outside with wide eyes.

Suddenly a thunderbolt struck, Zaozi immediately covered little Ayue's head, patted and muttered: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Lei Gong is playing rattle in the sky, it will stop soon."

Little Ah Yue pursed her lips and rubbed against her little daddy's clothes a few times.

Little Daddy Mei trotted over from the kitchen, put down a bowl of mango slices, patted on his clothes, and said, "The rain is so untimely, it's so big, this year's longan will suffer."

Not to mention the longan, the fields are not good either. Lei Shounuo went out wearing a coir raincoat early in the morning without eating breakfast. He heard from Ah Wei who came back with the meal that the fields were too full of water, and they had to rush to drain the water. , The seedlings that have drifted will wait for an opportunity to replenish them.When they came back in the evening, the two men were wet from head to toe, covered in mud, and their faces were not very good.

Jujube crushed mint and ginger into slag, washed it with boiling water to make mint ginger water, added some salt, and let the two drink a big bowl each.

Lei Shounuo frowned, and sighed several times.

After coaxing little Ah Yue to sleep, the two lay on the bed and talked.

Zaozi didn't want to ask too many questions at first, but Lei Shounuo took the initiative to mention it, "The fields can still handle it, but the longan on the mountain will definitely bear a lot of fruit."

Now that the longan is not yet harvested, we can only hope that the rainstorm will pass quickly, so that the villagers can think about it.

After waking up from sleep, the sky began to clear and the rain finally eased. Lei Shounuo and Ah Wei were still busy on the ground and mountains.Only then did Zaozi think about playing in the rain with his son.Hold the hand of little Ah Yue, catch the water drops from the eaves, and teach him to say: "Rain, water."

Little Ayue raised her little head, opened her mouth to look at her little dad's mouth shape for a while, then jumped up happily, "Fish, fish, fish" yelling non-stop.Zaozi wiped her little hands and said, "Is there still water? Water... Read to little daddy, water..."

"Cook!" He slurred his words and spit out blisters.

Zaozi wiped her face, "You idiot, read it to your little daddy again. Rain, water."

Little Ah Yue refused, and grabbed it with her little hands.Zhizi is like a father, Zaozi took out his favorite goose feather from his pocket and put it in his hand.This one is new, the old one was meant to be thrown away, and was put into a small brocade box by the detonator.He said: "I will keep this for the little young master as a souvenir."

How many times Lei Shounuo told Steward Lei not to call him Master and Young Master, but Steward Lei seemed to be determined after eating the weight, insisting that there should be a distinction between superior and inferior, and that the titles should not be messed up.It seems that scholars are stuck in the rut, and they can't change it at this age.But it's not a big deal, just get used to it, so they didn't force the housekeeper to change his words later.

Little Ah Yue, who caught the goose feather, settled down, kicked her little feet, and hit a few drops of water that fell from the eaves.

On the other side, Lei Shounuo led the people to dredge the stagnant water in the roots of the trees on the mountain, and also went back to the field to mend the seedlings.An old man comforted him, "It was really terrible in the early years. The fields were washed away, let alone the seedlings. It was even worse when there was a flood. Now it's raining a little bit more, and there is no major disaster."

"Well, but there must be less dried longan sent to the north this year." Lei Shounuo straightened his waist and looked into the distance, with his shirt off his shoulders, "The fruit that has been soaked in water may crack its shell. This kind of dried longan You have to pick it out, and how to deal with it when you see it.”

The head of a household surnamed Deng in the village climbed up the hillside panting, and said, "Why did you pick it out? No one knows if it's cracked or not after it's dried in the sun."

Lei Shounuo said: "There is definitely a difference in taste and taste. If it is used as medicine, there must be a difference. Our longan here is sold as a sign in the north. Using defective products to refill is like shooting yourself in the foot. Such a petty profit will damage one's reputation, and the gain outweighs the loss."

Mr. Deng is a few years older than Lei Shounuo, and he doesn't agree with this approach, but the land and connections are his family's, so he can't say anything.

After Lei Shounuo became a big household in Magu Village, everyone was worried about what to call him for a while.He used to be called Lei Boy, Lei Ge Alei, but now it is different after all. Although the person involved feels that he can call him whatever he used to call him, but some people feel uncomfortable. If they want them to call him Master Lei, they feel awkward. The older child... After discussing it, he decided to call him Boss Lei, leading everyone to make money, and calling him the boss is not an exaggeration.If acquaintances don't mind, just call them as they were.

Anyway, the boss said so, and everyone had to follow suit.Although it's a pity for those fruits that have to be sifted out, it sounds quite reasonable.

After the sky is clear, the sun becomes particularly "poisonous", and the fruit trees are easily burned by such a sun, so spray some water appropriately according to the situation.Almost the whole village was dispatched to carry water up the mountain, and it took a day to do it.

After a while, the villagers didn't dare to wait any longer, and picked up the longan in a hurry, fearing that there would be another heavy rain if the harvest was late, and then they would really cry without crying.

Fortunately, the weather was beautiful, and the rain was followed by sunny weather.The ground is also dried, otherwise their longan can't be dried, so they can only be dried.

After all these things were busy, most of July was over, and the people in the village finally had time to catch their breath and to take advantage of the market.

When the time came, Zaozi put the matter of Children's Day on the agenda, and said it when Village Zheng came to Shangcun for inspection.The villager didn't say yes or no, "People in the village can do what they want. I can't make up my mind about this kind of thing."

So Zaozi went to ask someone, but he couldn't do it by himself, so he asked Xiaosong to find help from people he knew in daily life, and spread his hands to ask families with children in Shangxia Village.According to the standards of his time in the modern world, Zaozi was considered only under the age of 12 in the sixth grade of elementary school.

After running for two days, the results came out. There were about forty households with children, but less than ten households were willing to participate.People in Shangxiacun and Shangxiacun have the same meaning. After a long time, the stigma of Magu Village has been washed away, and the upper village has made a lot of money, and the lower village has also washed away its bad luck. In this kind of rich and earning life, of course, we must save money well, so as not to be reckless in the future. Something goes wrong and nothing happens.Everyone is afraid of poverty, and they are reluctant to spend money on such things, even if each family only pays a few tens of pennies.

Zaozi returned home resentfully, because he lacked consideration... he only wanted to make the children happy, and didn't take everyone's feelings into consideration, he was too hot.

Compared with the people in the village, he seems to be too easy to be satisfied. Everyone thinks about saving money and saving more, but he doesn't think about the long-term. He feels happy when he is living comfortably now, and has no plans for the future.Little Dad and Lei Ge made up their minds along the way, so he really didn't worry too much.Thinking about it this way, he felt that he was too useless.

He planned not to hold Children's Day, but at this time someone came to the door.Li Ada from the dim sum shop in Xiacun has a boy in his family. Hearing Zaozi's idea, he thinks it is very good, and wants to help make it happen.

"My kid is too shy, so I just want to take advantage of this Children's Day to let him socialize more with his peers." Li Ah said.

Zaozi jumped up a bit, and said: "That's great. I asked about ten households who are willing to join, or just pick a place and we will do it."

"That's good." Li A Dale said, "I also want to see if there are any interesting games. I have snacks and candies in my store, so you can make them cheaper."

Just do it, Zaozi thought about it for two days, and listed a few games: longan core in the water, rope skipping competition, stool grabbing, two people with three legs, and finally a ring.It is said that it is prepared for children, but in fact, adults can also play together.

Then the children who come that day can get a small bag of sweet-scented osmanthus candy, and there will be snacks if they win the game.

In fact, the money paid by each family was not enough, and the part owed was paid by Zaozi with his own private money.Apart from giving some of the money he earned from embroidery to his family, he also kept some of it.It's not a big expense to buy snacks and fruits, so it's okay.

The game was held in the lower village, and only Zaozi's family and Hua'a's family participated in the upper village, so they went to the lower village to play.It just so happened that Meifu bought a carriage after returning from the beach, which was very convenient.

Zaozi asked Xiaosong to go to Xiacun in advance to explain what to prepare. On August [-]st, he, Mei Xiaodie, Xiao Ayue, Huajia Ada Huajiazi, and Komatsu Yoshiro, and several people rushed to the village. The carriage went to the lower village.

Arriving at the open space behind the dim sum shop early in the morning, everyone arranged it in full swing.One game after another, the one who wins the most children also has a special reward prepared by Zaozi.

When Chenshi came, each family went back to pick up their children, and some family members just happened to be free and followed them.

The bold child ran up and bumped here and there, shrinking timidly and shyly behind his little father, not knowing what was going on.

Zaozi was suddenly full of pride, feeling like he was the head of a child.He first distributed a small bag of candy to each of the fifteen children.Then let them line up and follow him, one by one.

"This is a longan core. Have you learned how to use chopsticks yet?"

One kid yelled I would, like a big proud cock.

Zaozi said cheerfully, "That's good. Everyone, put this longan core into a bowl without water. You can't use your hands. Two people compete to see who can get the most."

"Is there any more Tangtang?" A little brother asked nonchalantly.He loves sweets the most, but Daddy refuses to buy him more.

"Yes, look, the food box in Li Ada's hand is full of delicious candies and snacks." Zaozi pointed to the side, and Li Ada cooperatively lifted the lid of the food box, and the children in the pile immediately Cheered a little.

Xilang came over, his face was full of red, and he suggested to Zaozi, "Let the two children play for a while, otherwise they may not remember."

"Alright." Zaozi turned around and asked, "Who wants to play first?"

The kid who shouted first jumped up high, "I'm coming!"
