Chapter 185
Manpower is sometimes exhausted!
In the face of natural disasters, human power is pitifully small.
Song Juan no longer goes fishing in the reservoir because everyone is constantly carrying water from the reservoir to irrigate the fields. If she shows up leisurely fishing by the reservoir, she will probably be beaten.
Of course, as a weak woman who couldn't carry it on her shoulders, Song Juan could only cut pigweed in the mountains and cook at home.
Speaking of which, cutting pigweed is also a very laborious job nowadays.
Just because of the drought, even the weeds are turning yellow.
"When will it be the end?"
Song Juan looked up at the sky. However, according to her observation of the sky, it would not rain in the past three days.
Farming really depends on the sky.
No wonder so many people are obsessed with finding a job in the city.
Song Juan sighed, poured all the pig grass in the basket into the pig pen, and watched the two half-grown piglets grunting and eating there.
"Although the pig life is short-lived, at least there is nothing to worry about!"
"Bah, bah, bah, you'll only think that pigs are good if you show off your brain!"
Song Juan carried the basket on her back and went home.
She must have stayed at home for too long and her brain has lost its clarity.
When I got home, I tidied up briefly and prepared to make lunch.
After all, hard-working parents have been carrying water all morning and need to eat when they get home.
……
When the sun goes down, the sky is still muggy.
Days of high temperatures have made the air a bit dry.
Song Juan lay on the kang mat, which was cool at first but then turned hot, unable to sleep.
She was the only one at home, and neither Song Laifu nor Li Guilan had returned yet.To be precise, they had dinner and then went out again.
The moon is half-circle in the sky, and the moonlight is very bright.
Although it is not as bright as during the day, walking and other activities are not affected.
Therefore, the village organized people to carry water for irrigation at night.
Frankly speaking, if Song Juan had not seen it with her own eyes, she would not have been able to imagine what farming was like in the past.Perhaps, this is a true portrayal of facing the loess and turning your back to the sky!
Of course, if Song Juan is willing to give up some of her good fortune and build a rain praying circle, then she can also pray for rain for a place thousands of miles away.
However, she didn't want to.
Song Juan would have been happy to do this before the incident that ruined her reputation happened.After all, she felt that the people in the village were very kind to her, and she was willing to help them.
But now, after what happened and seeing the dangers of people's hearts, Song Juan no longer felt that moved at first.
She, salted fish, lie down!
After all, although the matter has gradually passed, so far, no one has formally apologized to her.
What do you mean?
You hurt me and just laugh it off?
Haha, sister is really not that generous.
Song Juan thought for a long time and finally fell asleep.
She didn't even know when Song Laifu and Li Guilan came back, let alone what time they went out in the morning.
At this juncture when they are trying their best to fight the drought, this couple is very motivated.
Song Juan also thought about praying for rain for them, but in the end she refused.
The power of God is unstoppable!
She can block it for a while, but not for a lifetime.
She will try her best to repay her elders' love, but she will not go to any lengths.
Because, as long as she thinks about those who have hurt her, she feels like she has eaten a fly.
And she had already persuaded the second elder, but if the second elder didn't listen, there was nothing she could do.
There may be some gangsters who think she is selfish and unfilial.
But, even so, Song Juan still would not change her decision.
Parents will always dislike their children and refuse to listen to advice. As time goes by, they will just let it go.In the same way, many times, children will find their parents disobedient, but what can they do?
It’s just a compromise again and again!
The drought lasted for a month, during which time there was only one light rain.
The drought relief work in the village continues, and many people are exhausted.
Song Laifu and Li Guilan were ordered by Song Juan to rest at home more than ten days ago. Otherwise, she was prepared to run away from home, euphemistically saying, out of sight, out of sight.
The severe drought is a foregone conclusion, which cannot be changed by human power.
Among the reservoirs in the village, except for the largest Dongkuang Reservoir, which still holds some water, the other reservoirs and ponds have basically bottomed out.All the small fish and shrimps in the water have been fished out.
Song Juan naturally didn't make do with it.
However, Song Laifu went into the water and brought back a lot of fish. He spent a lot of oil and fried the dried fish. Except for the slightly fishy taste, everything else was pretty good.
Of course, Song Juan didn't eat much.
The main reason is that there are too many fish bones and it takes too much effort to eat.
On the other hand, her little nephews all ate with their mouths dripping with oil.
When the water in Dongkuang Reservoir was about to bottom out and the big fish in the water were faintly visible, it finally started to rain.
pouring rain.
At noon, as a gust of wind blew, dark clouds pressed over the city, lightning thundered, and heavy rain suddenly fell. When lightning flashed across the rain curtain, countless people cheered.
Although the rain came a little late, it finally came.
No one thought about how many crops such a violent storm would destroy.
Everyone only knows that if it rains, there will be hope.
Even if the spring crop harvest is reduced, at least a batch of crops can be replanted so that there will be no harvest.
Song Juan sat on the kang, listening to the sound of "it's raining" coming from the neighbor's house outside, without any disturbance in her heart.
Sitting opposite Song Juan, Li Guilan always felt that something was wrong with her daughter's recent reaction.
"Juan'er, are you okay?"
Li Guilan raised her foot and lightly kicked Song Juan.
"I'm fine. What can happen to me?"
Song Juan answered subconsciously.
Li Guilan frowned, shook his head, and said, "There's something wrong with you!"
"Daughter, are you still thinking about what happened before?"
"Listen to mom, let the past go. There is indeed something wrong with the villagers, but this kind of thing is too common in the village."
"If you are angry about this, you will be angry for the rest of your life!"
As someone who has been there, Li Guilan has rich life experience.
Song Juan scratched her head and was speechless.
She was indeed thinking about this, but strictly speaking, it wasn't just this.She just felt uncomfortable and felt unfair.
Li Guilan looked at Song Juan's look and sighed, saying: "Juan'er, listen to me, don't think about it anymore. If you want to think about these things, you have to think about the past. Not all the people in the village treated you the same way. Bad side, right?”
"Correct!"
Song Juan nodded.
If it weren't for the good people in the village, she wouldn't have raised rabbits with the village, or come up with the Qiaojia Town commune development plan.
But just like that, she became even more angry.
I treat you sincerely, but in the end, you stab me with a knife.
Let me ask, who can stay calm when encountering such a thing?
Indeed, people should look forward and not hold on to the past. But there are some things that make you angrier the more you think about them. How can it be so easy to let go?
