The weather in July and August this year was very strange.
At this time in previous years, the weather has been very hot, but this year it has become so cold that you need to wear a coat.
It is said that in other provinces, it has not rained for a long time, rivers are drying up, and power rationing has begun.
The rainfall here in Taoshui Village is normal and the ground is not dry, but there is also a power outage.
Xu Fuqiang called the person in charge of electricity management in the village and learned that the call would not come until after nine o'clock in the evening.
There are always power outages in the village during the hottest months of summer, and sometimes during the coldest winter months.
If there is a severe thunderstorm, the probability of power outage is 90%.
When she was a child, whenever there was a thunderstorm, Wang Yanmei would tell Xiao Qingzhi not to watch TV and to disconnect the power to the TV at home, saying that the TV would be damaged by lightning.
Xiao Qingzhi is a TV addict. Sometimes she listens to it, but sometimes she is rebellious and refuses to listen.
But every time when she was rebellious, when she saw the excitement, her power went out and she couldn't even watch it.
Therefore, she has hated thunderstorms since she was a child!
The problem of power outages is also one of the inconvenient aspects of living in the village.
All electricity will be given priority to large cities. According to the priority level, rural areas are ranked last.
If you stay in the city for a long time, you will not be used to power outages.
Especially in Kyoto, there are almost no power outages. Even if the line is cut off for some reason, someone will repair it immediately and the power will be restored within half an hour.
Wen Shanshan couldn't stay any longer and had to go to the ground with Xu Qingzhi.
The two men wore working people's straw hats and carried hoes on their backs.
On the land on the slope, plant the corn seedlings that have been raised in advance.
On the other vacant vegetable plots, pea tips, radishes, celery and lettuce were planted.
These vegetables are not vegetables grown in July and August, but with the spiritual spring water and spiritual energy formation, you don’t have to worry too much about seasonal factors affecting their growth and taste.
The village is not very peaceful these days, because the matter of the Xu family's Baoshan is being discussed in full swing.
After Xu Qingzhi established the foundation, his hearing was so good that he could always hear those words.
Such as "The Xu family is really stupid. With so much money, they don't know how to go to the county town to enjoy the blessings, but they even pay for it. Do you know what their family wants to do?"
"I heard that I want to plant fruit trees. Hey, you didn't see a big truck coming every day to bring bayberries. The Xu family has made a lot of money from the bayberries."
"I've tasted the bayberry, and it's very delicious."
"How much money you can make growing fruits is probably the same as the money Xu's daughter made from acting before."
"Don't your daughter-in-law go to her house every day to help pick vegetables? Do you know that her family makes a lot of money?"
"How do I know?"
……
The key is, just say it.
When Xu Qingzhi walked past the group of old men and women, the group of people fell silent and looked at her guiltily, with clear stupidity in their eyes.
Xu Qingzhi wanted to laugh when he saw it. Not only did he not run away, he also greeted each of them enthusiastically.
Grandpa and grandma shouted all over the place.
These elderly people are all empty nesters, their children are working outside, and they are reluctant to spend a few dollars playing cards. They sit at the door of the house every day, sometimes for a whole day.
Xu Qingzhi also knows some of them because of her grandma.
In the past, when grandma was still alive, several old ladies liked to visit her and chat about the village gossip.
There is an old lady who comes most frequently, coming every day.
She heard from her grandma that the old lady's wife had passed away a few years ago, her sons had also died, and she was the only one left in the house.
Xiao Qingzhi didn't understand at that time, but it was clearly raining heavily one day, so the old lady took advantage of the rain to subside a little in the evening and brought dried potato peels to her grandma to eat.
It was raining and it was inconvenient to go out. Why did I come here and leave again after not sitting for a while?
At that time, Xiao Qingzhi was about to enter the first grade of junior high school. She spent the whole summer watching TV series at home and became a serious homebody. She didn't like to go out, so she didn't understand.
Until, one day, the old lady didn't come all day.
That night, my grandma called someone to go to the old lady’s house and knock on the door. She was already dead.
Xiao Qingzhi heard from her grandpa that the old lady came here every day because she was afraid that no one would know if she died at home.
Grandma cried, she was so sad.
Therefore, Xu Qingzhi has a natural filter for the elderly. As long as she is not a bad person, her heart is relatively soft.
There are so many beans at home that they will get old if they are not picked. Due to purchase restrictions, the beans cannot be sold for a while.
Xu Qingzhi simply made dried beans and kept most of them at home.
Taking some beans and the thermos cup that she bought for her grandpa online a while ago, Xu Qingzhi drove a tricycle and delivered it to her grandpa.
When the yellow dog in the yard saw her, it wagged its tail desperately, looking silly.
Grandpa was about to go out with his fishing rod when he heard the noise and looked up: "Qingzhi, why are you here?"
"Grandpa, I made some dried beans at home and brought them to you along with the thermos cup I bought for you last time." Xu Qingzhi got off the tricycle and carried the things into the house, "You want to go fishing?"
Today's weather forecast says there will be rain, so don't go out."
"No, I have already accepted people's money and promised to fish for people." Xu Dongru picked up the bucket and said proudly in a low voice: "All the fish my grandpa caught these days can be sold for money. I'll wait until grandpa finishes fishing later.
When I come back, I’ll stop by the canteen and buy some sweets for you.”
Xu Qingzhi was stunned, remembering that his grandfather said he wanted to pay back his second uncle eight thousand yuan.
"Don't go, it's going to rain today." Xu Qingzhi said.
Xu Dongru is a stubborn person, "It hasn't rained yet. I took people's money and had to give fish to fish. Others said the fish I caught were delicious and they rushed to get them."
Xu Qingzhi couldn't resist him, "Okay, then be careful on the road."
"Grandpa knows." Xu Dongru went out, and the yellow dog followed him obediently, wagging its tail.
Xu Qingzhi picked up the iron tree broom in the corner and swept the house. After checking that the water in the water tank was full, he left it alone and went to the backyard to water the vegetable patch with diluted spiritual spring water.
Every time my grandpa finished soaking his feet, he would pour the water into the yard. The aura of traditional Chinese medicine residue made the old persimmon tree in the yard grow better, and the flowers bloomed vigorously.
She drove her tricycle back. When passing by, she would meet an old man and an old lady she knew, and would shout to her house to get some dried beans.
About a few handfuls of beans, the conversation in the village changed in the blink of an eye.
Old ladies praise everyone they meet.
The daughter of the Xu family is really enthusiastic. She is beautiful and is willing to farm at home. She is a down-to-earth and hard-working person. By the way, a few days ago, she gave me a handful of dried beans, and the stew of dried beans is very delicious. p>
I also ate some stewed meat, and my picky grandson came back from school and ate three bowls of rice.
It's always good to make friends with people in the village. Those old men and women don't have bad intentions.
Xu Qingzhi naturally didn’t send it to those who were evil-minded.
