Chapter 16 Heavy Rain

Li Chunfang was quite nervous. She had originally planned to ask Liu Yinyin about the matter of the magic tofu, thinking that she was young and thin-skinned and would be easier to talk to.

Who would have known...Jiang Cuihua was actually here too, but since I was already here, I had no choice but to speak up.

As expected...

Jiang Cuihua thought that she had come here for this matter, and thanks to the fact that she had just talked to her daughter-in-law, she had come to her senses and said frankly, "Yes, Yinyin figured it out herself."

Li Chunfang didn't hear the answer she wanted to hear, so she stopped beating around the bush and got straight to the point: "Alas, it hasn't rained for a long time, and I don't know if this year's harvest will be affected. Recently, many people are worried that they won't have enough food next year, so... they all came to my house to ask us how to make the magical tofu.

I thought it was not easy for everyone, so I came over to ask with a smug look on my face. "

She was indeed entrusted by someone, and her husband Liu Changquan was also thinking about this matter.

"Look at what you said." Jiang Cuihua snorted and said, "You don't know, I have been thinking about how to tell everyone about this these days."

"Really?" Li Chunfang choked upon hearing this, and said in surprise, "You...are you willing to tell everyone?"

Jiang Cuihua said seriously: "Of course, we are all from the same village, and we should help each other. Moreover, my family, Yin Yin, can have her own house to live in, thanks to the blessing of the village chief and everyone. How can such a good thing happen now? How can I not think about everyone?”

Therefore, if you are short of food in the future, don’t blame her!

Li Chunfang was quite surprised. She had not expected Jiang Cuihua to be so aware. She had just worried for nothing.

Liu Yinyin almost laughed out loud when she heard this. Her mother was quite good at talking. If she hadn't just talked to her about this, she would have almost believed what she said.

The mung bean soup had cooled down by now, so Liu Yinyin served it to them: "Mom, aunt, drink some mung bean soup to moisten your mouths first."

Jiang Cuihua said so much, she was indeed thirsty, so she took a few gulps of mung bean soup, and then continued to talk to Li Chunfang about making the magical tofu...

"Okay, I've said everything I need to say. Making divine tofu is just that simple."

Li Chunfang secretly memorized the method of making the magical tofu and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll tell everyone this when they ask me about it in the future. By the way, Yinyin did a good thing for the villagers this time. I'll talk to my husband about it and make it up to you."

Liu Yinyin politely declined, "Auntie, I can't accept this. I... am already very grateful to everyone for being able to live in the village and have a house."

Jiang Cuihua interjected, "That's right. We can't cause trouble for everyone."

Liu Yinyin's belly was getting bigger, and she wanted to ask the village chief to make some arrangements to see if he could find a lighter job for her.

But I didn't dare to speak out.

Li Chunfang completed the task, drank a bowl of mung bean soup, and left happily.

Jiang Cuihua felt quite disappointed. Although she was doing a good deed, she seemed to suffer a loss no matter how she thought about it.

When she came, Jiang Cuihua brought a basket of green vegetables, including lettuce, leeks, loofah, garlic sprouts and celery.

Liu Yinyin emptied the basket, filled it with lotus leaves and tomatoes, and put a small bowl of mung bean soup in it.

Except for pumpkin, almost all the vegetables she grew in her private plot were edible. The Liu family happened to not grow tomatoes, so Liu Yinyin picked some for Jiang Cuihua to take home.

"This thing is sour and sweet and delicious. I'll plant some next year." Jiang Cuihua's attention was instantly diverted.

Tomatoes can be used in cooking or as snacks, and they are delicious either way.

Liu Yinyin agreed: "I will buy some other seeds to try next year."

Jiang Cuihua said angrily, "You are the only one who can make trouble."

She was happy that her daughter lived a good life, but she was always worried that she would be penniless in the future because of her lavish spending.

However, the girl has grown up and has her own little thoughts, so it would not be good for her to say too much.

Jiang Cuihua didn't stay long before going back. The weather was getting hotter as the night progressed, making people dizzy from the sun.

Liu Yinyin supported her waist, stood at the kitchen door and looked at the scorching sun.

I can't help feeling a little worried. The ground is so dry that it's cracked. If it doesn't rain, there's really no hope for a good harvest this year.

Everything can't stand nagging, Liu Yinyin is worried.

That evening, the sky turned gloomy and overcast, a sign of rain.

Everyone in the village breathed a sigh of relief. Oh, God, after waiting for so long, it’s finally going to rain.

At night, Liu Yinyin was sleeping soundly when she was suddenly hit by a chill.

Suddenly opening her eyes, Liu Yinyin lit the kerosene lamp and heard a ticking sound outside the window...

It's raining!

The heavy rain relieved the heat, a damp smell filled the air, and the temperature dropped by several degrees in an instant.

Liu Yinyin always wears a suspender dress to sleep at night, with her hands and feet exposed.

Feeling a little cold at the moment, she found a thin quilt to cover herself with, and fell asleep peacefully listening to the sound of rain.

When I woke up the next day, it was still raining.

After a long drought, the rain finally came. This heavy rain was a timely rain, bringing hope of a good harvest to the crops.

Unable to go out on a rainy day, Liu Yinyin was trapped at home.

Fortunately, there was enough food at home, so she didn't feel bored staying at home.

The weather is cool, so it's a good opportunity to make some clothes for the baby.

Liu Yinyin bought a lot of cotton cloth to make clothes, swaddles, hats, socks, bibs and diapers for the baby.

Nowadays, clothes are all made at home. The original owner also has memories of making clothes. When several younger generations of the Liu family were born, the original owner took care of them a lot.

So, although she has never been a mother, she does have some experience in raising children.

The rain was heavy, with big raindrops falling down, and it didn't stop until the afternoon.

This was a long-awaited timely rain, but...

It rained heavily for two days in a row, and the villagers were happy again.

Why does the rain never stop falling? If it continues like this, the crops in the fields will rot!

Liu Mingyuan braved the rain to visit Liu Yinyin's home, and was relieved to see that there was nothing wrong with her family.

The rain kept falling and many houses in the village had leaks.

Liu Yinyin's house had just been renovated not long ago, so there was no problem of water leakage.

But there was water in her yard!

The sweet potato vines are soaked in water, but they can't stay in the water all the time.

Liu Yinyin bought a raincoat and rain boots and put them on. She took a hoe and dug a ditch at the edge of the yard to drain the water. The situation improved a lot.

The terrain here is relatively high, but other places must be worse.

well!

Liu Yinyin shook her head helplessly. It was really not easy to farm these days. She had to rely on God for her food.
