"What do you think of the weather tomorrow, Captain? Is it likely to rain tonight?"
Lu Zheng was still thinking about how to say this.
Xiao Qingshan chuckled. As long as he wasn't asked to take care of those troublesome matters, he was in a good mood.
"The weather is nice. I guess it will be sunny tomorrow."
Lu Zheng smiled and said, "I have a friend who works at a gas station. He said it will rain here tonight!"
"I just arrived in the countryside, and the food collected won't be distributed to me, so I just talked about this matter with the team leader. Whether you collect the food or not is none of my business!"
After Lu Zheng said this, he turned around and left.
Of course, this troublesome matter must be decided by others.
As for which friend said it, Lu Zheng didn't say it, and no one else would ask.
Xiao Qingshan laughed and shook his head, looking at the sunset in the sky.
What a joke! There are only a few clouds in the sky, why is it not raining?
When he reached the door of his house, he suddenly stopped.
It was a huge project to harvest all the rice in the village. Everyone was so tired that they couldn't even get up. No one wanted to work for nothing.
But what if it really rains?
Xiao Qingshan thought about it and decided to sleep more alertly the next night.
Lu Zheng's words finally affected Xiao Qingshan. He lay in bed all night, unable to sleep, and went out to check from time to time.
It was still very hot in the early hours of the night, as if the whole village was a big steamer...
Xiao Qingshan's heart skipped a beat.
The moon and stars in the sky had been hidden by clouds, and although there was no wind, the sweltering heat before the rain arrived as expected.
Xiao Qingshan felt that he could not wait any longer, so he picked up the enamel basin in the room and started knocking on it.
Li Guixiang was the first to wake up, and then almost everyone around her woke up.
Li Guixiang immediately pinched Xiao Qingshan's ear.
"I think you're crazy, aren't you? This is the only good thing in the house. What if it breaks?"
Enamel basins are easy to use, but they have one drawback: the enamel on top can be easily knocked off.
However, the sound was indeed clear and crisp, and in the dead silence of the night, it could be heard from far away.
The chirping of insects and birds around seemed to be the accompaniment.
"Get up! Harvest the rice! It's going to rain!"
When they got up, they complained a lot, but seeing the dark sky, they all ran towards the threshing ground.
"quick!"
"Where's the basket? Bring it here!"
"A dustpan...if you don't have one, just use a shovel!"
Lu Zheng's sleep was not deep. He had a sweet moment with his daughter Ru'er in his dream, but he was soon overwhelmed by the feeling of loss for not getting what he wanted, and he could not fall asleep.
Hearing the noise outside, he quickly got up and called the male educated youth on the same kang.
"Hurry, it's going to rain. The rice is still drying on the threshing floor. Let's help collect it!"
But the group of male educated youth were all exhausted and many of them were unwilling to go. Only Xie Xuan followed.
Lu Zheng sighed and said nothing.
They were newly arrived educated youth and were definitely not that popular.
I can't do much work, but I have to share other people's food rations.
Of course you have to perform well at this time to fit in here.
The locals were very united, so the educated youth always suffered some losses.
