Chapter Thirty: The Rainstorm

"It's done. I'm going to the village chief's house now to ask everyone to collect the grain quickly and not put it on the drying ground." When the Zhu family heard this, he stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth and took a sip of wine.

Get up and leave.

"Old man, you eat first, and then we'll talk after you're done." Grandma Zhu's family felt sorry for the old man who was so busy that he didn't even have lunch.

"You guys eat first, don't wait for me." Grandpa Zhu immediately went to find the village chief.

The grandma of the Zhu family took a big bowl and saved some of each dish, so that her son and grandson could not eat it.

In the past few days, everyone has been working hard to collect food at home.

The village chief heard what Mr. Zhu said and patted him on the shoulder, "Everyone in the county and town seems to be rushing to harvest. In our village, except for your third brother's sun drying yard and the fields, everyone else is

keep it."

"That's good! I'll tell him again. If he doesn't listen, there's nothing I can do about it." The grandfather of the Zhu family thought that they were brothers after all, and everyone else persuaded him to go to the third brother's house again.

"I'll go with you." The village chief felt that Zhu Chengfa would be wronged if he went alone.

The grandfather of the Zhu family went to Zhu Chengdong's house with the village chief. There was also food in their yard.

When the three brothers split up, their father and mother had the best land. Plus the third brother's share, they did the most farming.

So far, he has not received half of it. Zhu Chengdong is just waiting, waiting for his parents to ask his eldest brother and second brother to bring their sons to collect it for him.

"Mom, dad, hurry up and collect the grain from the fields and drying areas. There will be heavy rains at midnight. If it is washed away by the rain, your work will be in vain for a year." After thinking about it, Mr. Zhu family thought for a while and told his parents.

explain.

When Mr. Zhu heard this, he glared at his son, "Then why don't you quickly call your eldest brother to help your third brother collect it? Are you going to let me collect it? You are an unfilial and rebellious son."

"Dad, the third brother can pay some money and ask people in the village to help collect it together. The son and the eldest brother will not get involved. If there is less food, the third brother and his wife will be suspicious of each other and harm the harmony." The grandfather of the Zhu family said directly.

Refused.

This is not his nonsense, it happened in previous years.

"Second brother, don't you think it's too late? We are brothers. Broken bones are connected with tendons, not to mention a few words. You and the eldest brother will help me collect it... Hey, hey, second brother, you!

" Before Zhu Chengdong finished speaking, he noticed that the person was gone and stamped his feet angrily.

The village chief patted Mr. Zhu's shoulder and said, "Chengfa, after so many years, you are the toughest this year."

The grandfather of the Zhu family smiled bitterly, "They were all forced out. If I collect them for them, I will be scolded. If I don't collect them, I will be scolded. Why don't I go back and rest. I'm really old and can't do it."

"You have a skill that is better than mine. Don't forget my eldest granddaughter's dowry." The village chief's eldest granddaughter is going to have her hair next year, so she is not allowed to book it in advance.

"No, don't worry. I started the work for you years ago and have it completed." Grandpa Zhu is not the kind of person who does errands. How could he delay such a major event?

"That's good. Your family goes to the county every day to sell fish. The fish are caught from the river. Some people have also started to catch fish. You know this." The village chief added a few more words.

There are two ponds on this river in their village, but no one is cultivating them. They are naturally raised. People who have the ability can catch fish and eat them. If you don't have the ability, you can only covet them.

Some greedy people are coming to cause trouble. It depends on how Zhu Chengfa and his family respond. Anyway, he reminded them.

When the grandfather of the Zhu family came home, he told his family about it. Zhu Yuanxing jumped up and said, "They did this on purpose. Dad, I will catch up with my second brother later."

"Uncle Third, there is no need to catch fish today. We will not go to the county if it rains. No matter how many people cause trouble, I can still let our family catch fish." Zhu Qianqian's words made everyone calm down.

Chen Baimei rolled her eyes and immediately asked, "Why?"

She was somewhat selfish. If she had skills in catching fish, she could let her brothers catch some and sell them.

"This is a secret, I can't tell you. Anyway, the fish can listen to me and not others." Zhu Qianqian said mysteriously, she didn't trust this third aunt very much.

"Fish can still be obedient, but children can't talk nonsense..." Chen Baimei also wanted to scare Zhu Qianqian, but she found her mother-in-law's eyes scanning over her, and she was so frightened that she immediately stopped talking.

"After you finish eating, go to work quickly. Why talk so much? Let's reinforce the roof of our house." The grandma of the Zhu family didn't know how long the heavy rain would last.

Zhu Qianqian pulled Nai into the house and whispered, "Nai, if there is a flood, I can put away all our things at once so that no one can see them. I will take them out when we get home again."

, just like this.”

She put the table into a corner of the space and then took it out.

The grandma of the Zhu family had seen a good girl take a ginseng once. At this moment, her palms were sweating with fear, but she was very excited.

"What a good boy, you are really the lucky star of our Zhu family. As usual, you can't tell anyone else about this matter, not even your grandfather. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I understand!" Zhu Qianqian nodded vigorously.

The things that the grandma of the Zhu family used to worry about now don't have to worry about at all. God just opened his eyes and sent away a treacherous son, and the good granddaughter unleashed her potential.

As the sun set, Grandma Zhu's family noticed something was wrong. Ants could be seen everywhere.

The chickens and ducks at home are also a little irritable. Three dogs, four dogs, five dogs, and three dogs start barking at every turn.

It attracted all the dogs in the village to come and go.

As soon as midnight came at night, strong winds arose, thunder and lightning struck, and torrential rain poured down.

The grandpa and grandma of the Zhu family all woke up and looked at the lightning outside the house, feeling a little worried.

"Our family Qianqian really predicted it. What if we can't protect this child in the future?" Grandpa Zhu sighed.

The old man is not worried about the heavy rain, but worried about his children.

"Whether it is a blessing or a disaster, it is a gift from God. Anyway, if you want to hurt my good granddaughter, then step on my body. Old man, don't worry, we have never done anything bad in our lives. God will not be so cruel." Zhu

My grandma thinks it is a blessing.

Even if it is a disaster and the whole family dies together, there is no need to be afraid on the road to hell.

"Don't talk about this, I heard from the village chief that grain is being harvested in the county and town, and most people's grain has been taken back. Even if there is a flood, there will be no shortage of food." The grandfather of the Zhu family still held a trace of luck.

The terrain here is high.

Even if it rains for more than ten days, their village will not be flooded.

"Go to sleep and don't worry too much. Let us live a few more years and make good plans for our three children. In the future, I will have to find a good in-law for my good granddaughter and take care of the children for her," thought the grandma of the Zhu family.

Looking forward to the good days ahead, I am full of fighting spirit.

The heavy rain continued, and everyone who listened to the village chief's words to collect food was happy.

Only Zhu Chengdong was so frightened that he got up in the middle of the night and looked at the rain outside the house hitting his thighs. "Zhu Chengfa, you missed me! What should I do? My food, my food!"
