Chapter 1378 It Hasn’t Rained for a Long Time
After Liu Biao and the others left, Liu Ermei asked Lu Xiaoxiao, "Xiaoxiao, why did Brother Biao and the others suddenly get angry? Liu Erdan didn't say anything."
"Um... did you understand what Liu Erdan said just now?"
“I understand. Didn’t Liu Erdan just say that they gave hands the first time? But I’m curious about what they did the first time.
Ah... I understand why Brother Biao and the others were angry. Brother Biao and the others must have done something embarrassing the first time, so they were so angry when Liu Erdan mentioned their first time. "
After hearing what Liu Ermei said, Lu Xiaoxiao knew that Liu Ermei didn't understand what Liu Erdan said at all, but she didn't intend to tell Liu Ermei what Liu Erdan meant.
"Second sister, let's not worry about Liu Biao and the others. Now that they've left, let's continue eating."
"good."
After Lu Xiaoxiao finished her meal, she looked at the time and found that it was already past one o'clock. She didn't expect that the meal would take nearly two hours.
"Xiaoxiao, let me wash the dishes."
"No, I can wash it. You go to the yard and turn the herbs over."
"good."
After washing the dishes, Lu Xiaoxiao came to the yard and saw Liu Ermei still turning over the herbs, so she walked over to Liu Ermei and helped her turn over the herbs.
"These herbs will be dry if they are exposed to the sun for another day tomorrow." Lu Xiaoxiao said after flipping through the herbs for a while.
"Yes, the weather this year is really good. It hasn't rained for a month, so everything dries easily."
Lu Xiaoxiao frowned after hearing what Liu Ermei said. Although it is good if it is sunny every day, it is not a good thing for farmers if it does not rain. What's more, it is the growing season for crops. If there is a lack of water, the crops will die of drought.
"Second sister, has it really not rained in the past month?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked Liu Ermei.
"No, there hasn't been a drop of rain in this month."
“Is there any family in the village without water?”
After hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said, Liu Ermei thought for a moment, then she shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of any family having no water, but some time ago I heard that my mother's field was running out of water, so they have started to carry water from the river to the field."
"Are the fields so short of water that we have to go to the river to fetch water?"
"Yes, because it hasn't rained for a month, there must not be enough water in the fields."
After listening to Liu Ermei's words, Lu Xiaoxiao became even more worried. If it didn't rain again, the fields would probably become dry, and relying on manual water fetching from the fields would not be enough to supply so many fields in the village.
Another thing is that we have to fetch a lot of water from the river. If there is no rain for a long time, the water in the river will run out. By then, we will be helpless.
"Second sister, can you go back tonight and ask your mother about the current situation in the fields?" Lu Xiaoxiao said to Liu Ermei.
"Sure, but Xiaoxiao, you don't have to worry at all. The old people in the village said it will definitely rain this month, because it usually rains several times in July and August every year."
Lu Xiaoxiao's worries did not decrease after hearing Liu Ermei's words. Although the old people in the village have a certain understanding of the annual rainfall patterns, there is no scientific basis for it. It is just what they have summed up through long-term experience. Unexpected things happen in life. Maybe this year will be different from previous years?
