Chapter 533 Have you been lying down enough?
"It rained really hard last night. I've been in Mo City for so long, and I've never seen such heavy rain."
"What's the big deal about rain? Isn't it just some water on the ground? Have you noticed that the weather is getting colder? I'm afraid it's getting colder day by day."
"Yes, it got cold all of a sudden today. I even dug out my cotton-padded jacket and put it on."
…
Just when everyone was discussing excitedly, Lin Mo got up lazily.
She is becoming increasingly sleepy and always feels like she is not getting enough sleep.
After stretching and getting dressed, she pushed the door open and prepared to go out for something to eat.
But as soon as the door was opened, a cold wind blew in.
Lin Mo immediately shivered and shrank his neck. It was so cold.
She closed the door without hesitation, then rummaged through the drawers and found a new cotton coat to put on. Only then did Lin Mo breathe a sigh of relief.
It’s warm!
When she went out again, she realized that it rained really heavily last night.
There are some low-lying areas in their house, and the accumulated water has not yet been drained.
It was still drizzling at this time.
Lin Mo frowned. It rained so heavily last night. He wondered if any water had accumulated in the greenhouse.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo immediately turned around and walked towards the gate with an umbrella.
She couldn't feel at ease unless she went to see it in person.
But before she reached the gate, Xu Xianyu caught up with her and stopped her. "Sister-in-law, you just woke up, so you need to go have breakfast first."
Lin Mo, who was walking out with an umbrella, shook her head and said, "It's okay, I'll eat after I come back.
I have to go check on the fields first. I won’t be able to rest assured if I don’t.”
There is so much water here, so wouldn’t the water in the ground be even deeper?
If the accumulated water flows into the greenhouse, we must find a way to drain the water out as soon as possible.
Crops are afraid of being soaked in water, as their roots will easily rot if soaked for too long.
Crops whose fruits grow underground, such as potatoes, are particularly afraid of waterlogging.
So, Lin Mo continued walking forward as soon as he finished speaking.
"Sister-in-law, don't be anxious, come back soon." Xu Xianyu hurried forward to stop Lin Mo.
She shook her head at Lin Mo, "Sister-in-law, Xu Pinggui and the others went to the fields at dawn, so they should have news back soon. You just wait at home.
There's water everywhere outside right now, and the roads are slippery and it's easy to fall. You can't walk around now, and you definitely can't run around when it's raining, understand?"
When saying this, Xu Xianyu's face turned serious. This was not a joke.
Lin Mo frowned, then looked down at her belly, and then walked towards the hall with an umbrella without saying a word.
The greenhouse is important, but definitely not as important as her belly. She can't take the risk.
Xu Xianyu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't insist on going out.
Fortunately, her sister-in-law is a sensible person.
If she insisted on going out and I wanted to keep her, I'm afraid she would try to cry, make a fuss, and even commit suicide.
Xu Xianyu chased after her with an umbrella, and at the same time called Qin Ma to bring breakfast.
Lin Mo was also absent-minded while eating breakfast, his eyes looking outside from time to time.
"Sister-in-law," Xu Xianyu said seriously.
"It'll be fine. Although the water in the river outside is surging, I believe the greenhouse will be fine. The things made by Mr. Wuyou are still very reliable."
Lin Mo, “…”
She gave Xu Xianyu a final, inexhaustible look, "It's better not to say this consolation!"
The river is swollen and it's very dangerous, okay?
If it rains as heavily as last night, I'm afraid their place will be flooded.
…
At this time, outside the greenhouse, Lao Song and his men were wearing wet straw raincoats and cleaning the canal, trying to ensure that the water drained quickly enough so that it would not flow back into the greenhouse.
After being drenched in rain all night, their raincoats were soaked through, and the coldness invaded their limbs and bones, but they seemed to feel nothing and continued to wave the shovels in their hands quickly.
Use mud to raise the bottom of the greenhouse to prevent water from flowing back into the greenhouse.
The drainage channels were expanded and deepened.
Seeing the accumulated water flowing rapidly along the drainage ditch and toward the river without flowing back into the greenhouse, everyone's faces showed a hint of joy.
The crops in the greenhouse will not be soaked and have their roots rotted, which is great.
After a busy night, everyone's tired faces relaxed.
Their efforts that night were worth it.
"The rain shouldn't get any heavier. Everyone should go home quickly, take a hot bath, eat something hot to get rid of the cold, and then have a good sleep." Old Song said, holding his waist with his hands, standing up straight.
Everyone nodded:
"Old Song, if you hadn't called me I would have gone back. I couldn't bear it any longer. My back was about to break."
"Yes, I'm cold and tired. I just want to go home and wrap myself in a blanket and have a good sleep."
"Old Song, after I go home and lie down, don't come to call me. I don't want to see you today."
…
Looking at the relaxed faces of the crowd, Old Song smiled, "Alright, stop talking nonsense, go home quickly to take a shower, eat something, and sleep."
After driving them away, Old Song began to check each greenhouse one by one to see if any were damaged or blown open by the wind.
After taking a look around and making sure everything was alright, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although some water has entered some greenhouses, it is not a big problem and will not affect the growth of crops.
Old Song stretched and was about to leave, but when he looked up he saw Xu Pinggui holding an umbrella.
He went up to him and said, "Sir."
Xu Pinggui, “…”
Xu Pinggui almost got goosebumps.
"Old Song, just call me by my name. Are you sure you're not trying to disgust me by calling me that?" Xu Pinggui shook his head.
I don’t know who shouted it out, but now many people are following suit.
"Didn't I learn this from someone?" Old Song joked, then turned serious.
"Did the young lady ask you to come and see the situation?
You can rest assured, Madam, the greenhouse is fine and there won't be any problems.
The accumulated water did not enter, but was diverted into the river."
Xu Pinggui shook his head, "When I came out, the young lady hadn't gotten up yet.
I was afraid that the young lady would come to see it in person after she got up, so I came to see it first so that I could report to her."
At this point, Xu Pinggui paused and said, "The roads are slippery on rainy days, so it's not suitable for Madam to come out and watch.
Also, Lao Song, thank you for your hard work last night.
If you hadn't been vigilant, the young lady's hard work would have been ruined."
He heard it all on the way here.
Before the heavy rain came last night, Lao Song brought people from Yuancheng out to clean the drainage ditch.
This lasted the entire night, and even though it rained heavily, we didn't leave.
Thanks to them, the greenhouse was basically free of water.
And the water that comes in does not affect the growth of crops at all.
So, Lao Song and his colleagues are really very responsible.
Old Song waved his hand, looking unconcerned, "Don't tell me this, the young lady paid us wages, and we have to be worthy of this salary.
Besides, if this greenhouse is destroyed, we will have nothing to do. If we have nothing to do, how can we make money?
We do this just to keep ourselves occupied.”
What's more, the young lady treated them very well, so how could they be ungrateful? Old Song didn't say this.
At this point, Old Song glanced around and shook his head:
"Pinggui, these greenhouses are very important and also easily damaged. You need to send people to watch over them to prevent anyone from secretly destroying them. After all, there are many people who are jealous."
It is raining now and there are few people working in the fields.
If someone comes here to sabotage something on purpose, it would be done without anyone noticing.
This greenhouse costs sixty taels.
How much crops do I need to grow to make the profit?
He felt sorry for Madam Xu's money. If he wasn't so tired, he would definitely be guarding it and would never allow anyone to cause any damage.
Xu Pinggui glanced around and nodded, "Don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to patrol."
The two talked for a while before they separated and left.
Xu Pinggui strode towards Xu's residence.
The young lady should be awake by now. He had to rush back to see her as soon as possible and report to her what happened in the greenhouse, so that she wouldn't risk running out out of worry.
The roads are slippery in rainy days and it is easy to fall.
When he came out just now, he saw a lot of people fall.
He was just thinking about this when suddenly a splashing sound came from the front.
Xu Pinggui looked up.
I just happened to see a thin and familiar figure falling to the ground.
And this person...
Black lotus!
Xu Pinggui raised his eyebrows and looked at her clumsily falling to the ground again when she fell and tried to get up. Xu Pinggui couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
So stupid.
So, he raised his foot and walked over slowly, tilting the umbrella in his hand slightly to block the rain for her.
"Do you need help?" he asked hoarsely.
Jia Lianhua felt that it was not appropriate for her to go out today. As soon as she went out, she stepped on dog shit and now she fell down for no apparent reason.
She got up and fell again. The raindrops she had always cherished and was reluctant to use were broken because of this.
Jia Lianhua now just felt that she was extremely unlucky.
I was just thankful that it was raining today and no one saw how unlucky I was. If someone had seen me, I don’t know how they would have laughed at me.
I didn't expect that someone suddenly spoke behind me, and it was a man.
This scared her and she was about to dodge, but her foot slipped and her body fell forward uncontrollably.
"ah!"
Jia Lianhua screamed.
"Be careful!" Xu Pinggui stretched out his hand and grabbed her waist, then pulled her hard.
Bang!
Jia Lianhua bumped directly into Xu Pinggui's strong chest.
Naturally, the mud and water on her body also got onto Xu Pinggui's clean clothes.
So thin!
Xu Pinggui frowned. Are all girls’ waists so small?
Jia Lianhua came to her senses and found herself very close to a man. She quickly reached out to push him away while backing away, trying to distance herself from him.
Unexpectedly, her foot slipped again and her body fell backwards uncontrollably again.
Jia Lianhua was so frightened that her face turned pale and she even closed her eyes.
But unexpectedly, I was once again embraced in a warm embrace.
"Your method of attracting people is quite clever." Xu Pinggui held the umbrella in his left hand, looked down at Jia Lianhua lying on his chest, and said lightly:
"Have you laid down enough?"
Jia Lianhua, who was still in shock, came to her senses, her face flushed, and she stepped back again, but this time she was much more careful and finally did not fall again.
After she stood still and saw who it was, she was stunned.
