The old man swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue.
Seeing this, Xie's mother also hurriedly said, "The fields are already flooded. The old village chief organized people to drain the water early in the morning. You were sick, so we didn't dare to go. When you get better, we will go to the fields too!"
"It's time to go to the ground!"
Hearing this, Gu Nanzhi said quietly, "But we are not going to drain the water, but to harvest the crops!"
The rain continued and it was getting heavier!
All signs indicate that everything is developing according to the trajectory of the original book. Gu Nanzhi knows that if the rain continues for a few more days, floods will form in the mountains and surrounding areas...
"rush in the harvest?"
Mother Xie's face changed when she heard this, "But the solar term hasn't arrived yet, and the crops in the fields are not ripe yet..."
“The crops are not ripe yet!”
Gu Nanzhi struggled to sit up, took Mother Xie's hand, and said in a deep voice, "Mom, please trust me, let Dad and my second brother go to the fields and harvest the crops!"
"It's better to harvest a little than to let it all rot in the ground!"
Mother Xie heard: "!!!"
He looked at Gu Nanzhi in shock, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Seeing this, Mr. Tan sighed and said, "Do as the girl said. It's not a good thing if the rain continues. I'll send some guards to help you..."
Mother Xie: "Ah? This... then... thank you?"
She hadn't even made up her mind yet, but Mr. Tan even lent her his people!
Mother Xie was a little confused...
Gu Nanzhi is a family member, but Old Tan is different. Xie's mother has always been in awe of Old Tan, an outsider, so...
Mother Xie went out and told her family. Unlike her hesitation, Father Xie and Xie Jianbang did not say a word. They put on their straw raincoats, took their tools and prepared to go out.
"I also think this rain is not right. If it continues like this, I'm afraid there will be no harvest!"
Old Man Xie is an old hand at farming.
Farmers depend on the weather for their livelihood, so they have some knowledge of the weather...
It had rained in Dashan before and after the autumn harvest, but it had never rained for so many days, and the rain hasn’t stopped yet…
Thinking about how his daughter-in-law had asked them to go up the mountain to collect herbs long in advance, Old Man Xie had a bad feeling in his heart.
Old Man Xie and Xie Jianbang went down to the ground with a dozen guards.
When they met neighbors on the road and heard that they were going to harvest the crops in the fields, they all looked incredulous.
"The corn has just been handled, and the core is still leaking water. You are crazy, going to harvest the crops at this time, don't you want to have a good harvest?"
Hearing this, Father Xie sighed and said, "It's a good harvest! Look at the rain, it's good to have a harvest!"
"My daughter-in-law and the one who lives at home asked us to rush to harvest. I don't have much ability, but I know that listening to others' advice will help me have a full meal!"
"I'm going to the fields to harvest the crops. I don't care if you guys want to harvest them or not!"
After saying this, Old Man Xie called his son and the guards and left.
Before leaving, Gu Nanzhi suggested that the villagers rush to harvest, but was rejected by Old Man Xie.
Farmers value harvest more than their lives!
Rush to harvest means a definite reduction in production. Father Xie knows without thinking that this suggestion is simply not feasible!
Fortunately, Mr. Tan said that this matter had to wait for someone from above to take charge and they couldn't interfere too much, so his daughter-in-law stopped talking...
Old Man Xie is a man who knows how to stop when he is ahead. This is all he needs to say. He has said all that needs to be said. Whether the neighbors want to rush to harvest the crops is their business.
For a while.
The neighbors looked at Old Man Xie's back as he left, and said all kinds of things.
Some say that his son is so ambitious and his daughter-in-law is so capable that they have forgotten their roots!
Some say his worries are not without reason...
Anyway, there are many different opinions, but few people actually take action!
In the past few years, the big pot meals were popular in the village, and people worked together to farm. However, as the overall situation gradually relaxed, the big pot meals have been disbanded, and even the land...
Although the village still retains most of the arable land, but there are policies from above and countermeasures from below, and every household must have some private plots of land...
The Xie family has more than one acre of private land, which is neither too much nor too little!
Old Man Xie and Xie Jianbang took extra care of him. Even though they had been following Gu Nanzhi up the mountain to collect herbs, they would come to the fields after breakfast to take a walk, so they didn't let the crops go to waste...
While others were draining the fields, Old Man Xie led his men to harvest the crops. This movement quickly attracted the attention of countless people...
Even people from the neighboring Gujia Village came to watch the fun!
"Thank you, Yandai. Your family has become so rich that you are willing to destroy even the crops?"
"When he said he was rushing to harvest, he really was rushing to harvest! What can we do with all this corn when we get it home?"
“…”
Amidst the various opinions, Old Man Xie continued to do his own thing, and even when the old village chief came over, he said the same thing.
He's going to harvest it anyway!
He doesn’t care whether others accept it or not!
Seeing that he was so unmoved, the old village chief couldn't help but feel nervous when he looked at the sky.
The rain is definitely not a good sign...
"How about the village take some too? Not too much, just 20% to make sure we break even!"
When the old village chief spoke, the elderly people in the village immediately nodded in agreement.
The weather is not good!
The village can afford 20% of the harvest!
Just take precautions before it happens!
When Xiejia Village took action, the neighboring Gujia Village began to get restless!
After the old village chief of Gujia Village came to learn from the experience, he slapped his thigh, and went back with his people to harvest the crops in the fields!
Don’t charge more!
First collect 20% to protect the principal...
The movement of the two villages attracted the attention of the surrounding villages. After many people inquired about the news, they returned and started to move...
But, it’s hard to persuade the damn ghost with kind words!
Some people, however, just refused to believe it and stood under a big tree, holding a handful of pumpkin seeds and cursing.
"If you harm the crops, you will be punished by God!"
Li Chunhua spat out the melon seed shells and said with drooping eyes, "You are so naughty, be careful that you will have nothing to eat when you are old, and you will starve to death with that little bitch!"
Everyone knows that the Gu family and the Xie family don't get along!
When the people passing by heard her words, they all pretended not to hear and continued with their work.
While the village at the foot of the mountain was bustling with activity, Xie Zhenting, thousands of miles away, was extremely quiet...
He has been counting down silently since he heard the sound of a car in the distance!
Now……
He had counted past a thousand seconds, and about twenty minutes later, the car finally stopped not far away...
Xie Zhenting: “!!!”
I am almost impressed by my extraordinary hearing!
he……
Could it be that he has become a man with super hearing?
Isn’t that the god from the strange novels?
What exactly is the gene-enhancing drug in that woman’s mouth?
He is...
Are you on your way to becoming an immortal?
Xie Zhenting was so shocked by this idea that he felt terrible. Then...
"Thank... Thank you, Chief? Yes, Thank you, Chief!"
The confidant that Elder Xue had sent to fetch reinforcements arrived with a large force. After recognizing the blood-soaked Xie Zhenting, he immediately rushed over and said, "Commander Xie, you... you died miserably!"
