The husband is the future chief [infrastructure]

Now that it rains heavily, the paper mill has to close down.Fortunately, the houses in the paper mill for those veterans are still strong, because they are made of large bays, and there are many more large and small beams on the top than ordinary houses, which is much safer.

Under such a heavy rain, all outdoor work basically stopped. After breakfast, Jiang Ziyan and the others also sat in the house. Lin Zhao continued to study and do his homework. The master was very strict with him. The coursework is more difficult than others, and the amount is larger than others.Fortunately, the sky is brighter now, and the light is not as dim as it was in the morning, which is convenient for him to read.

Not long ago, the master found a box of books for him to read more when he was free. It was raining now, so he happened to have time to read it.

Jiang Ziyan asked Changlin to be his school boy, saying that he was a book boy, but Lin Zhao went to private school every day to attend lessons, and Changlin didn't need to follow him. Now he was studying at home, and Changlin waited beside him after finishing other things.

Lin Zhao looked at him and said, "Stop standing here, have you learned the words I taught you last time?"

Chang Lin nodded cautiously, the young master taught him a lot of characters, and when he was free, he would write and draw on the ground with a branch as practice.

It is not easy to teach him characters, he dare not extravagantly ask for any pen, ink and paper for him to use, so he usually leans on the branches to practice more, hoping to be praised by Mr. Lang.

"Write it down for me." Lin Zhao pointed to the pen and paper on the table and asked him to write it down.

Changlin approached and sat down, picked up a pen and wrote on the paper a few words he had learned some time ago. The posture of holding the pen was also taught by Lin Zhao, but because there were too few opportunities to write with a pen in Zhenger Bajing, the words he wrote were twisted. Twisted Warp isn't very pretty, but overall it's written right.

Changlin looked at the handwriting he wrote, it was crooked and ugly, he lowered his head and said in shame: "Master, my handwriting is not good-looking, I will practice hard in the future, don't tell me it's okay..."

For some reason, he was a little afraid that this young man, who everyone regarded as a good reader, would even lower his voice.

Lin Zhao picked up the handwriting he wrote and looked at it. He has improved compared to before. If the handwriting is not good, he can practice more. If he can read it, he will not be illiterate in the future.

He said: "It's okay, I won't tell my brother, it doesn't matter if my handwriting is poor, as long as I can know more words."

Chang Lin let out a sigh of relief, as long as the young master is not dissatisfied.

Lin Zhao picked up a new piece of paper, picked up a pen and wrote a few words, and put it in front of Chang Lin, "I'll teach you how to pronounce these words and what they mean."

"it is good."

Lin Zhao moved the book at hand to the side, and accidentally saw Chang Hua snuggled up to Chang Lin's side at some point. The little girl was only five years old, and she was also small, not as tall as his desk.

Jiang Ziyan also saw it. He just went out to look at the tiles of the house. Now he entered the room and just heard Lin Zhao talking. Want to learn to write?"

The little girl's voice was crunchy, with a long ending, without any timidity, "Think~"

"Then brother will teach you how to write, okay?"

Let's hear it soon, you guys?Do you mean him and his sister?

"Okay~" the little girl replied.

"Okay, Changlin, I'll teach you two how to write, and let you Brother Azhao study hard." After finishing speaking, he said to Lin Zhao, "It happens that I have nothing to do, so I'll teach them how to read, and your homework important."

Lin Zhao nodded with a smile, his brother was always considerate to him, he knew it.

On rainy days, most people stay indoors. Women usually do embroidery and mending. Men don't have to go out to work and just rest at home.

This is the case on the farm at the moment.

Ordinary people live their lives by watching the sky. After a long time, the older generation has passed down a lot of experience, and they basically watch the weather.

Especially before it rained, the weather was very overcast. Everyone saw that the wind and rain were about to come, and hurriedly put the wheat that was drying outside at home into bags and took them back into the house.

Some of them had just finished husking the wheat in their homes, and it seemed that it hadn’t rained yet, and the wind blew first. At that time, the strong wind was not as strong as it is now, so some people thought it would be better to take advantage of the wind to lift the wheat husks , it will be more convenient when loading wheat later.

But I didn't expect the raindrops to come so urgently, it started to fall just half way up, and hurriedly put them into the bag.

But no matter how fast it was, it was not as fast as the rain. The bean-sized raindrops fell quickly, and it turned into a torrential rain in a short while.The few bags of wheat were all wet by the rain, so they had to go home and spread them out in the house to dry first.

Wheat that has been soaked in water cannot be stored in a bag, otherwise it will easily become moldy.It is different from undried wheat. Although undried wheat has a lot of moisture in it, the mold time is not so fast. At least it can be dragged through the rainy days these days, and it can be taken out when the sun comes out. Just dry it.

Liu Futian's family was also in a hurry, but fortunately, they collected the wheat in advance so as not to get caught in the rain.

At this time, Mrs. Liu of Liu Futian's family was sitting by the window and sewing clothes for him. Carrying grain these days is a heavy job, and the cloth on his shoulders has long been worn out. Make up for him.

Liu Futian squatted at the door, took a puff of dry tobacco, looked at the rain outside, and said, "Thanks to our quick action, I heard that the wheat harvested at the old Hantou's house next door was washed away by the rain."

Mrs. Liu sighed, "Boss, when do you think the rain will stop? If it's in the next ten days and half a month, what if our wheat gets moldy?"

"It might take ten days and a half a month, maybe two or three days at most. When the ground dries up a bit, we'll move it out to dry. When the time comes, you go first and occupy the open space at the east end, then There are no trees to cover the place, and the sun dries quickly."

"Okay, master."

They have quite a lot of vacant land, but many of them are covered by trees, and it takes several days to dry the wheat in the sun, so the places that are convenient for drying the wheat are very popular. If you don’t occupy it first, it may be taken by other people’s homes .

"Master, this time, thanks to the flail brought by the master, you saved a lot of energy. Moreover, this thing is light, and I can use it to shell the wheat at home when you go out, which is really convenient. You don't know, other people in Zhuangzi are envious!"

Speaking of this, Liu Futian was also happy, "Yes, this thing is really useful. At the beginning, the owner brought three flails, and I kept one in our house, and the other two were given to the old Han's next door and the old man. The Gao family. You are envious if there are no other people around you!"

"However, head of the family, you are the steward of our village now, you should pay more attention to everything, and don't let others catch you."

"Of course I know this, and I still need you to say it."

"Since you were promoted to the manager, our family's life has been much easier."

The stewards of the village not only take care of all kinds of small things in the village, but also take charge of counting and paying the rent to the owner.And besides that, there is another salary every month.

However, this salary is not a lot, but this job in charge is a fat job, and there will be a lot of deductions from the rent every year.

Liu Futian is an honest man. Since he became a steward, everyone in the village has trusted him. A few days ago, they asked him to help him buy some flails from his boss.The days are gradually getting better, which gives them hope.

Here in the town, Feng Ke came back after going there for more than an hour. He knew kung fu and carried a bag of rice with ease.

After putting the things in the kitchen, he went into the room to report the situation to Jiang Ziyan, and said, "Mr., Mi Niang and the medicinal materials have been bought, and I put them in the kitchen."

Jiang Ziyan nodded, let Chang Lin and Chang Hua sit there and practice writing. He took Feng Ke to the side and asked, "How is the situation in the town?"

When he was leaving, he specifically asked Feng Ke in a low voice to take a look at the rivers around the town when he went.He avoided talking to Feng Ke specifically about this matter, for fear that Zhang Qiu would yell loudly if he heard it.

Feng Ke knew what he was asking, so he said in a low voice: "I went around and took a look when I went. The water level of the river has risen a lot. Some small rivers have lower banks, and the water level has risen over the banks. The water is very fast, and many fish and shrimps from the downstream are washed up. Now many people are wearing bamboo hats and coir raincoats and holding bamboo baskets to pick up fish and shrimps!"

"Ah?" Jiang Ziyan never expected this to happen. Could it be that he was really worrying too much?

"I went there to see the water level of the river, but I didn't expect a group of people to gather there. After I went in and asked, I realized that they were all there to pick up fish."

It's fine.

But he still doesn't understand, why are there so many fish in the river?And generally, only big waves can wash them to the shore. How can they be flooded to the shore when it rains and a strong wind blows?

"Feng Ke, do you know where the upper reaches of this river are?"

Feng Ke asked all the questions when he went out, and replied, "It's the dam on the lower reaches of the Xiangjiang River."

"Oh, it turned out to be a dam. Most people would sprinkle some fry near the dam to raise fish. It makes sense to rush down from above."

"It's all right, isn't your clothes wet after going out? Hurry up and get a basin of hot water to soak your feet."

"No, my clothes aren't wet, sir, I'll go down first."

Feng Ke wore straw sandals when he went out, and rolled up his trouser legs a few times. The coir raincoat is made of palm skin, which is very effective in preventing rain, so the clothes are fine.

It's just that the skin on the feet wearing straw sandals was soaked in water for a long time, and the skin wrinkled and turned white. Jiang Ziyan specially asked him to soak his feet to get rid of the cold.

Zhang Qiu had nothing to do after eating, and was sleeping in the house. After Feng Ke came back, he heard some movement outside, so he got up and came out, just in time to hear Feng Ke talking about picking up fish.

After Feng Ke reported to Jiang Ziyan, he was about to go down to soak his feet, when Zhang Qiu came over and took his arm and said, "What kind of fish are you picking up, and which river bank are you on? Tell me more clearly. I'm going to have a look too, just in time. Stay at home and panic!"

Feng Ke frowned, thinking that his behavior was rude, so he turned his head while holding the sword and did not answer him.

Seeing this, Jiang Ziyan said, "Brother Zhang, let Feng Ke go to rest first, I know, let me tell you."

Only then did Zhang Qiu let go of Feng Ke's arm and listened to Jiang Ziyan's words.

"Feng Ke was talking about the Qingxi River in the west. It wasn't because of the heavy wind and rain that the fish were washed to the river bank, and many ordinary people went to pick them up."

Zhang Qiu didn't turn his head back after hearing this, and went directly to the house to get a bamboo hat, put on a coir raincoat facing the north, and was about to go out with a bamboo basket, but Jiang Ziyan couldn't stop him, so he had to shout loudly at the door: "Brother Zhang , it's almost lunch time, don't go there yet!"

Zhang Qiu is not an obedient master, usually he can do some miscellaneous things in the paper mill, but now it is raining, he can't do anything else, and he is panicked at home, so he might as well fish in the river.

"Don't wait for me for lunch! Let's eat fish tonight!"

Jiang Ziyan sighed, knowing that he couldn't stop him, so he let him go.

With this interruption, it was time to cook, Jiang Ziyan didn't let Changlin cook, Changlin's cooking skills are average, it's okay to make a simple breakfast, but Jiang Ziyan wants to eat something else at noon today.

Seeing that he was coming to cook, Chang Lin took the initiative to come over to light the fire.

He fried a lentil with garlic, then chopped green onion and put it in a frying pan to stir-fry. He added some red peppers, put the chopped beans in it, and finally poured in the beaten egg.Scrambled eggs with beans are also ready.

After making two vegetarian dishes, he took out another piece of pork, which was stored in the cellar before, but now it was summer, and Jiang Ziyan was afraid that it would spoil, so he took it out and prepared to eat it.

Cut the pork into slices, and cut some garlic moss, the pork is fat and thin, the garlic moss is crispy, sweet and spicy, and the taste is very good.

There are many people in the family, Jiang Ziyan cooked five or six dishes, then put out the steamed white rice, added water to the big pot to clean it, and then added water to start the fire.

"Just put a few sticks of fine firewood and let it burn by itself. You can bring the dishes over first."

Chang Lin responded, washed his hands and brought the dishes to the dining table.

Jiang Ziyan saved a little of each dish and put it in a separate bowl, and left two big bowls of rice.Zhang Qiu said that there is no need to leave food for him, but how could he really not leave food for Zhang Qiu.

After the water boiled, he put in the sliced ​​meat he had previously cut, and then added vegetables, fungus, starch, salt, cumin, and chili powder, and added a few drops of wine to make a pot of sliced ​​meat soup.

The weather is hot in summer, Jiang Ziyan seldom cooks a serious meal by himself, but the weather is cool today, so he didn't sweat much after finishing the meal.

Zhang Qiu didn't come back at noon, so they ate first.Jiang Ziyan's cooking skills were as good as ever. Feng Ke came late and hadn't eaten much of his dishes. After eating this time, he admired Jiang Ziyan for one more thing.If he has a daughter-in-law in the future, he must let her learn this cooking skill from Lang Jun.

After noon, the rain still did not stop, but the good thing is that the wind has calmed down, so there is no need to worry about the tiles on the roof being knocked off.

Jiang Ziyan didn't have the habit of taking a nap. After lunch, Changlin went to wash the dishes, and he had nothing to do.

Originally, I wanted to ask Zhu Bingliang about the fabric, but now I can't.

He went to the desk in front of the window to watch Lin Zhao read.

When Lin Zhao reads, he always keeps his back straight, and holds the book in front of him with one hand. His slender eyelashes are naturally curled up because they are too long, and his closed eyes look particularly beautiful.

Before he knew it, he was fascinated. At some point, Lin Zhao's voice reached his ears, "Brother, if you keep staring at me, I won't be able to see it anymore."

"Ah?" Jiang Ziyan was taken aback, "Did I influence you? I obviously didn't say anything." He felt a little wronged.

"I can't concentrate when you look at me like that."

Jiang Ziyan rubbed his nose. He thought that Lin Zhao was the kind of person who could study without moving even in a busy city.

"Well, since that's the case, I'll find a book to read."

Lin Zhao watched him rummaging through his bookshelves, and asked, "Brother, do you like good-looking people?"

Jiang Ziyan was looking for a book he was interested in, and replied casually: "Of course, who doesn't like people with good looks, it's pleasing to the eye."
