After the grain in the threshing ground was collected and distributed to each household, some were happy while others were sad.
Except for Ye Juaner's family, which suffered no losses, the food of other families was more or less wetted by the rain.
Fortunately, the harvest was quick, which minimized the losses as much as possible.
Only a few families who had previously disdained Mrs. Ye's words suffered the most serious losses.
By the time they started to gather the grain that was spread out to dry, it had already started to rain.
Not only was the food extremely wet, but a lot of it was washed away by the rain. I couldn't take care of it at the time and could only pack up the remaining food.
Those who had said they would eat the rake if it rained no longer dared to say a word.
Watching the heavy rain outside, Ye Juan'er wiped her wet hair and said, "I'm really grateful to the eldest and his wife today, otherwise it would be terrible."
Liu Quan was still confused at this time: "Why is it raining tonight? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it's going to rain!"
“I didn’t realize that Boss Ye is not only a good hunter, but also good at reading the weather.
"If they hadn't insisted it would rain, I wouldn't have asked you to harvest the crops so quickly."
Ye Juan'er misunderstood Qingtian's previous words and thought that it was Boss Ye who told her that it would rain, so she wanted to take the puppy home.
Liu Quan nodded and said, "No wonder the people from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory told us long ago that it would rain after the Autumnal Equinox and told us to rush to harvest the crops. It seems they were right.
"If we had harvested the crops on the same date as in previous years, the crops would have been soaked in the ground by now!"
When Ye Juan'er heard about being soaked in the ground, she suddenly thought, "Widow Liu's family is still rushing to harvest. I'm afraid they've all been flooded by now, right?"
Liu Quan heard this and said, "If it doesn't rain for long, there's still hope. But if it keeps raining, it's hard to say for sure."
"Okay, the hot water is ready, and I've also made some ginger soup. Hurry up and wipe yourselves, drink a bowl of ginger soup, and go to bed early!"
At this time, in the old Ye family, several people who were drenched by the rain were wiping themselves with hot water.
Old Mrs. Ye asked someone to boil some brown sugar ginger water and watched them drink a big bowl each before she was done.
Ye Laosi hated the taste of ginger the most. He grimaced and finally drank it. As he felt the taste of ginger in his mouth, his whole face twitched.
Seeing him like this, Mrs. Guo rolled her eyes and said, "I told you to go out and show off! This isn't your own food. You're going to work for someone else in the rain. I don't know what you're thinking."
"Fellow villagers, the autumn harvest is a big deal, so we should help if we can.
"Back when we were outside the Great Wall, everyone helped each other in this way."
Guo said unhappily, “You also said it was outside the Great Wall, how can it be the same?
"How many of these people in the village really welcome us? They're all waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves!
"You're still rushing to help, and they're thanking you? But behind your back they might even call you stupid!"
Ye Laosi had just helped two families collect grain. He felt that he had helped and was in a good mood.
After hearing what Guo said, I did feel a little uncomfortable.
"We were all busy harvesting the crops, so no one had time to say thank you. You're the only one who has too much to do. Go to sleep!"
Upon hearing this, Guo snorted coldly, turned around and faced the wall, leaving Ye Laosi with her back.
Ye Laosi blew out the oil lamp and got on the kang. He wrapped himself tightly in his quilt and slept with his back to Guo.
Sister-in-law Ye heated up the dinner and brought it over, saying, "Brother, sister-in-law, you didn't even have time to eat.
"I've reserved some for you. Eat it while it's hot."
"Oh, thank you for your help!" Mrs. Ye was drying her hair. She quickly stood up, took the plate and put it on the kang table.
"Why are you being so polite? It doesn't take much effort." Mrs. Ye San said as she was about to leave when she saw Old Lady Ye coming over with Qingtian in her arms.
"I didn't know when you would be back, and since Qingtian was so sleepy, I let her sleep in my room.
"In the end, the child didn't sleep well. As soon as he heard you guys were back, he woke up and started crying out for his mother!"
Boss Ye quickly reached out to take Qingtian and asked worriedly, "Mom, you haven't recovered yet, just ask me to come over and hold her, why do you need to carry her over here?"
"I just have a little cough, it's not that serious." Old Mrs. Ye said nonchalantly, "Besides, it's not raining on sunny days, can't I carry him for just a few steps?"
Mrs. Ye quickly gave Mr. Ye a look, signaling him to stop talking.
As people get older, they actually have some psychological contradictions.
On the one hand, I hope my children can care about me more and treat me better.
On the other hand, she is still unwilling to admit her age. Once others think she is not capable enough, she will work harder to show that she is not useless yet.
Although Boss Ye couldn't figure out Old Lady Ye's sensitive thoughts, fortunately he was a man who listened to his wife.
So after seeing Mrs. Ye's eyes, he immediately shut up.
Mrs. Ye smiled and said, "That's not what he meant. It's raining, and it's cold outside. Doctor Gu told you to be careful and not to choke on the cold wind!"
"Yes, mother, it's raining and it's cold outside." Boss Ye quickly agreed with his wife.
Mrs. Ye's expression eased slightly and she said, "Okay, I'll go back now."
Mrs. Ye San also said, "Don't worry, I will take care of sending mother back."
Old Mrs. Ye was amused by her words and said, "It's right at home, just a few steps away, what's there to worry about!"
"Who made my eldest brother and his wife so filial!" Third Sister Ye coaxed Old Lady Ye, "If I don't send you back safely, they won't even be able to eat in peace."
