“Auntie, judging from the weather, it might rain in a couple of days. Just to be on the safe side, you should go harvest today,” Yuan Doudou said, expressing her concern.

She was scrolling through videos on her phone when she came across a place where it rained continuously during wheat harvest season. The wheat in the fields had already sprouted and grown mold before the harvest, and more than a thousand acres of wheat were wasted, all the hard work of the farmers wasted.

Zhang Aiju asked skeptically, "DouDou, you understand celestial phenomena?"

Yuan Doudou certainly didn't know much about it; she had only taken a few elective astronomy classes. Judging from last night's celestial phenomena, it would rain soon.

Wang Qiqiang had just returned from his busy work outside, and upon hearing what Yuan Doudou said, he immediately took it seriously.

He went inside and called Wang Qisheng and Wang Ningjing out, asking them to help his mother prepare the tools for the acquisition.

"Mother, I'll go and inform the village head." This concerns the livelihood of the entire village.

Yuan Doudou quickly said, "I'll go with you."

“Okay.” Wang Qiqiang strode forward.

Anji stayed behind, and Zhang Aiju watched over him. He was very well-behaved; he just stayed in the yard watching the rabbits and didn't run around anywhere.

The two arrived at the village head's house, where the village head was drinking tea in the courtyard.

"DouDou, what brings you here?" the village head said leisurely, holding a teapot.

“Village head, Dou Dou said it will rain in a couple of days, so we should harvest the wheat ahead of schedule,” Wang Qiqiang said solemnly as he stepped forward.

The village headman clutched his stomach and laughed. Were these two youngsters here to tell jokes?

“Village head, don’t laugh, it’s true.” Wang Qiqiang frowned, looking at the village head with a firm gaze. This was not the time for jokes.

The village head slowly stood up, took a sip of tea, and forced himself not to laugh.

"Qiqiang, DouDou said it would rain, and it rained. Who is DouDou? The Dragon King in the sky?" The village head winked at the two of them. Everyone in the village was saying that these two were up to something, and it seemed to be true.

Yuan Doudou smiled and said calmly, "Village head, if you don't believe me, there's nothing we can do. If something goes wrong, I hope you won't regret it."

"What could possibly happen? Don't try to scare me like this. I've lived for over forty years, and I'm not as good as you, a little girl. I can read the heavens too. Last night the sky was full of stars, so there won't be any rain within the next seven days."

Seeing that he was determined to do his own thing and wouldn't listen to advice, Yuan Doudou said to Wang Qiqiang, "Let's go."

Wang Qiqiang followed behind Yuan Doudou, hurrying home.

"DouDou, what do we do now?"

Yuan Doudou thought for a moment and felt that they couldn't just leave it alone. "Brother Wang, if the village head doesn't believe it, someone else will. We'll go door to door and talk to them. We'll help as many families as we can."

Wang Qiqiang nodded in agreement.

They ran into Wang Qiling on the way, and they ended up together.

The Wang family members are all easy to talk to. With Wang Qiqiang and Wang Qiling acting as intermediaries, they all agreed to go harvest the wheat first thing tomorrow morning.

"It would be best to collect them at night," Yuan Doudou added, worried that the weather wouldn't allow it.

Wang Jude, the second uncle of the Wang family, was unwilling to listen, but he did not argue on the surface and agreed perfunctorily.

Yuan Doudou and the others split up and went to An Bihuai's house.

Anping opened the door and was surprised to see Yuan Doudou.

"Dad, DouDou is looking for you."

Yuan Doudou waved her hand, saying it didn't matter who she told, "Here's the thing, I observed the celestial phenomena last night and found that it would rain in a couple of days, so I came to tell you so you can harvest the wheat as soon as possible."

Hearing the commotion, An Bihuai ran out, asking, "Who told you that?"

"Myself."

Anbihuai laughed loudly, "Can you stop making me laugh?"

"Even if it rains, you can't harvest the wheat. If you harvest it early and there's no sunny day to dry it, it will still sprout even if you keep it indoors."

Such things have happened before.

"Second Uncle, if we bring them in when it's not raining, and then let them dry in the sun for a day or two, they'll sprout again?"

Yuan Doudou really doesn't know anything about farming.

"It's not necessarily true. If you ventilate the house well, the wheat won't easily get moldy or sprout," Anbihuai said, stroking his beard.

"Then I suggest you take it back in advance. At least there's still hope. If it keeps raining and the wheat sprouts in the field, wouldn't that be even more troublesome?"

Anping thought Yuan Doudou was right. After it rained, the fields would be muddy, making it even harder to harvest the wheat, and it was not impossible for it to rot in the fields.

"Second Uncle, that's the situation. I need to inform other families, so I'll be leaving now." Yuan Doudou turned and left gracefully.

An Bihuai had helped with her mother-in-law's funeral to some extent, and Yuan Doudou thought she should help if she could. Whether he appreciated it or not was not her concern.

It got completely dark quickly, and Yuan Doudou arrived at the Wang family's house with weary steps.

Zhang Aiju had prepared dinner and was waiting for her.

"Are you hungry? Wash your hands and come eat," Zhang Aiju said as she placed the food on the table.

Wang Ningjing said with a pitiful expression, "Dou Dou, if you don't come back, Mom won't let me touch my chopsticks."

He tried to sneak a bite, but was slapped back at him.

Yuan Doudou smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"Don't listen to her nonsense, Qiqiang and the others haven't come back yet either." Zhang Aiju smiled as she served a bowl of porridge.

"Then let's wait for them." Yuan Doudou led Anji to wash his hands.

"No need, I'll just reheat them for them when they get back." Zhang Aiju sat down at the table with her chopsticks.

"Mom, you're being unfair," Wang Ningjing said half-jokingly.

Yuan Doudou hasn't even entered the family yet, and her mother is already treating her differently. What will happen after she enters the family?

As they were talking, Wang Qiqiang returned.

"Where's Qi Ling?" Zhang Aiju looked at the door and saw no one.

"He went home to eat." Actually, he was sent back to prevent him from coming and talking nonsense in front of Yuan Doudou.

“Okay, let’s eat then.” Zhang Aiju went into the house again to serve her son a bowl of porridge.

Wang Qisheng sat down at the table with his older brother and was stunned to see that his mother had prepared four dishes.

"Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, my favorite." Wang Qisheng was about to pick up an egg when his mother stopped him with a look.

Oh, right, there are guests at the table, so they should eat first.

"Here, Anji, have an egg." Zhang Aiju picked up a piece and gave it to Anji.

Wang Qiqiang used serving chopsticks to pick up food for Yuan Doudou, including eggs and braised chicken.

"You all eat quickly, then go harvest wheat." Zhang Aiju didn't eat a bite herself, but kept putting food on Anji's plate.

Wang Qisheng pouted, "Mom, can't we go tomorrow?"

"To put my mind at ease sooner."

Wang Qiqiang agreed: "Listen to Mother."

Yuan Doudou decided to go and help, because every extra person helps.

"Dou Dou, after you finish eating, take Anji back to rest. We don't need you, and there's not much land." Zhang Aiju politely declined.

"Yes, with me and Qisheng, we can finish collecting them in less than a day."

Wang Qiqiang would never let Dou Dou do hard labor, she's the person he likes.
