They in the 70s

Old people often say that if there is an old injury, such as a bone injury or a knife wound, every day before it rains on a cloudy day, there will be some sensation in the injured area, which is obviously uncomfortable.

Lu Zhansheng is not very clear about the specific scientific basis for this matter, but he remembers that when he left home, Aunt Luo told him to take good care of the incision and keep warm. Itching is normal when it is cloudy and rainy. Don’t scratch it. It will be much better after one spring, summer, autumn and winter.

At that time, Lu Zhansheng didn't pay much attention to it, and when he saw the large black ants on the ground, he suddenly thought of this matter, and realized a very serious problem.

The old feeling is strange, the ants are moving, probably because it will rain soon.

Speaking of which, the climate of the Northern Shaanxi Plateau is really strange. When spring plowing needs water for irrigation, it is extremely dry throughout the spring, and there is not a single drop of rain. But when it is the wheat harvest season, when it should not rain, suddenly This sign.

Lu Zhansheng heard from the villagers that because he took the lead in digging those wells this year, the wheat has been fully watered, so the growth is particularly good. If there is no accident, the harvest this year must be much better than previous years.

But if there is an accident, such as a heavy rain on the juncture of the harvest, it will all be ruined.

No.

Lu Zhansheng pondered for a moment, then hurried back to the house and told He Zhi about it, and then the two went to find Wu Changde together.

Wu Changde was still angry at the moment, seeing that Lu Zhansheng didn't want him to enter the door, he was even annoyed when he heard that Lu Zhansheng said it was going to rain.

After all, the weather is very good at the moment, the sky is clear, the sun is shining brightly, and there is no sign of cloudiness.

"It's raining! You're an idiot!"

Wu Changde pointed at Lu Zhansheng with a cigarette pipe and pot, and stared at the boss: "You bastard! Don't think about making troubles, even if you make trouble, you won't be given any food!"

Lu Zhansheng saw that Wu Changde was also angry, but the matter of harvesting wheat was more urgent, so he let go of his anger for the time being and tried his best to calm himself down.

"Secretary Wu, I'm telling you something serious. Once it rains, this year's grain will be destroyed, and the whole village will go hungry. The quality of next year's grain seeds will not be good. This will be a vicious circle."

"You say it!"

Wu Changde said angrily: "I have planted the land for so many years, I don't know these things?"

"Okay, you know."

Lu Zhansheng suppressed his anger and said, "Then hurry up and organize everyone, the work of harvesting wheat must start now."

"No cutting today!"

Wu Changde stared: "Tomorrow is tomorrow!"

"Not tomorrow!"

When Lu Zhansheng saw Wu Changde's unreasonable energy, he became anxious, and his anger began to be uncontrollable. "If it rains tomorrow, it will be over!"

"Why don't you say in case there is an earthquake tomorrow!"

Wu Changde said: "The sky belongs to your family, you can do it if you say so!"

"Hold!"

Lu Zhansheng's patience was exhausted, and he got angry immediately, and glared at Wu Changde: "Why did Shimen Village choose you as a stubborn old party secretary! You can't tell the difference between good words! No wonder you guys are starving every year !"

"get out!"

Wu Changde was also in a hurry, and was about to greet Lu Zhansheng with a cigarette bag and pot, but was stopped by He Zhi.

After He Zhi stopped Wu Changde, he immediately turned his head and said to Lu Zhansheng: "Leave this to me, you go to Zheng Yan and the others first."

Lu Zhansheng knew that He Zhi was better at reasoning with people. He was so angry that his stomach hurt and he didn't want to waste time with this old guy, so he decided to go to the field with Zheng Yan and the others first.

After Lu Zhansheng left, Wu Changde panted for a long time, calmed down a little, and said to He Zhi: "Comrade Xiao He, your brother must have been beaten a lot at home!"

"Yes, I often quarreled with his father like this before, and sometimes it was very annoying."

He Zhi paused, and then said, "But sometimes, the quarrels are justified."

Wu Changde still believed in He Zhi. Hearing what He Zhi said, he immediately asked, "Do you also think it's going to rain?"

"I'm not sure."

He Zhi said: "However, when ant colonies move their nests and swallows fly at low altitudes, the air pressure is usually low and the air is stuffy, which is indeed a harbinger of heavy rain."

"We peasants will also read what you said, but the sun is obviously good."

As Wu Changde said, he looked down at the ground, but he didn't find any swarms of ants, and he looked at the swallows and house sparrows flying in the distance, but he didn't see anything abnormal in the flying. "It's all pretty normal."

"But there is a possibility."

He Zhi said: "It is possible that this kind of situation does not happen, but once it happens, our losses will be very heavy."

Wu Changde does not deny that this is reasonable, but he feels that the weather has been fine these days, it is unlikely that it will rain suddenly, and the harvest day is an auspicious day carefully selected by the old people in the village, it is not necessary, they all unwilling to change.

"Comrade Xiaohe, it is an old rule in the village to cut the wheat to see the day, so how can you change it if you say so?"

"Ah."

He Zhi took a deep breath and said, "Secretary, I understand your concerns, but I want to ask you, what is the original intention and original intention of the old people to formulate these rules?"

Wu Changde frowned and said nothing.

He Zhi said: "It is nothing more than the hope for a happy life in the future, but our life cannot be improved by relying on these hopes alone. We also need to work hard, and we must assess the situation and adapt at any time."

Wu Changde heard this and looked at He Zhi, but he didn't understand.

He Zhi also said: "We don't know if tomorrow is an auspicious day, but we know that it must be today, because if we go to collect the wheat today, then our food will be guaranteed. This is an auspicious day. "

Wu Changde still hesitated a little.

"Secretary, this matter is related to the food and clothing of the whole village. It cannot be taken lightly. If there is any possibility of danger, we should prevent it from happening."

He Zhi finally said: "The most important thing is to let everyone eat well, we can't afford to gamble."

Wu Changde felt that this sentence made sense, hesitated for a moment, and finally slapped his thigh: "Okay! Listen to you!"

When Wu Changde and He Zhi went out together to inform everyone, Grandma Sun was arriving at the door of his house, her waist was more bent than usual, and her face was painful and anxious.

"aunt."

Wu Changde immediately greeted her two steps: "What's wrong!"

Grandma Sun said anxiously, "It's about to rain!"

Wu Changde was stunned for a moment, and was really anxious at that time.

The children Lu Zhansheng and He Zhi said Wu Changde didn't really take it seriously, but Grandma Sun broke her waist when she was young, and when she got older, she would suffer from severe pain every time the sky changed. In the past, Wu Changde A lot of people gave her plasters because of this.

Wu Changde immediately arranged for He Zhi to help Grandma Sun go home to rest, and hurriedly went door to door to inform the villagers to go to work.

Grandma Sun cares a lot about Lu Zhansheng recently. She heard that Lu Zhansheng has gone to harvest wheat with the educated youths. She was very curious about how Lu Zhansheng knew it was going to rain, so she asked He Zhi: "How did little Lu baby know that it was going to rain? Do you have any old injuries?"

He Zhi was taken aback by the question.

At this moment, Lu Zhansheng is arriving at the wheat field with Zheng Yan and the others.

This group of people had never done the work of harvesting wheat. Looking at the large yellow wheat fields in front of them, they felt dizzy and didn't know how to harvest them well.

And Zheng Yan and the others didn't quite understand, after all, the sky was sunny and sunny, they didn't know why Lu Zhansheng was so sure that it would rain.

"Lu Zhansheng, are you competing with Old Wu?" Zheng Yan picked up a wheat ear and held it in his mouth, looking lazy.

Lu Zhansheng glanced at him speechlessly. "Who competes with others to find a job for themselves, do you have a brain?"

"You do have brains."

Song Jian said: "Then tell me how we can do this job. With only a few pieces of material, we can't even use a sickle."

"If you don't know how to teach, you can go to school. When you were born, you didn't know how to eat."

Lu Zhansheng rolled his eyes, then bent down to grab a handful of straw, picked up the sickle and went to cut it.

The first cut was not done well, and it was not cut.

"Hahaha, Mr. Lu Zhan!"

Zheng Yan smiled and said, "Aren't you capable? Why can't you cut straws?"

"Hahaha...."

Everyone laughed wildly after hearing this, with no sense of urgency at all.

Lu Zhansheng felt a little anxious, just when he wanted to tell this group of people the importance of this matter seriously, he turned his head and suddenly saw a black crowd rushing over from the entrance of the village.

Those holding sickles, those carrying wooden forks, those driving donkey carts, those pulling ox carts...

Everyone is rushing to the field here, you don't need to look at their expressions, just look at their momentum to know that they are very anxious and nervous at the moment.

After Zheng Yan and the others saw those villagers, they couldn't smile anymore.

"Mom."

Zhao Jun said in amazement: "It's not really going to rain, why are children even allowed to fight?"

"This is fucking wheat harvest." Song Jian said, "It looks like it's here to kill you!"

"It's a life grab."

Lu Zhansheng snorted, "The food is their life."

As for the work, the villagers are still experienced, and they start working immediately after arriving at the wheat field.

Some are responsible for cutting wheat, some are responsible for loading vehicles, and some are responsible for transporting back.

The educated youths were not very good at doing it, and Wu Changde didn't care about assigning manpower to teach them at the moment, and he didn't arrange a specific piece of land for them, so he just let them follow along.

He Zhi came later than anyone else, and did nothing else after he came, but ran to Lu Zhansheng and looked him up and down.

Lu Zhansheng was a little confused, and just wanted to ask what's wrong, but at this moment, someone suddenly yelled:

"It's over! It's cloudy!"

He immediately turned his head to look, and found that the dark clouds on the windward slope in the distance really started to grow bigger, and started to move this way.

The sight in front of him began to dim because of the approach of the dark cloud, people around him exclaimed in surprise, everyone suddenly seemed to be wound up, and immediately accelerated their work speed.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and a sense of urgency emerged spontaneously.

Lu Zhansheng couldn't care less about chatting with He Zhi, he immediately picked up the sickle, ready to finish his work first.

He Zhi stood there looking at him for a long time, and after a long time he suddenly came back to his senses, took out the gloves he had issued earlier from his pocket, walked over and grabbed his hand to put on him, and said to him: "Work!" Be careful, don't get hurt."

Lu Zhansheng smiled, and was about to say what kind of injury he would suffer from cutting a piece of wheat, but when he looked up and saw He Zhi's expression, the smile froze on his face unconsciously.

He Zhi, why... seems like he's about to cry?
