"Qin Man, are you dozing off? It got dark early. Logically, you should have enough time to harvest the grain." Qin Jiandang's voice was sharper than ever.
This millet was the result of their hard work for several months, but a heavy rain threatened to destroy it all.
It would be fine if the sun comes out tomorrow, but if it rains for a few days in a row, the millet will become moldy and sprout, and will be completely useless.
"Dad, don't blame my brother and sister. It's all my fault. I thought it wouldn't rain, so I fell asleep on the bamboo bed." Qin Man clutched his trouser legs tightly with both hands, ready to be beaten at any time.
It would have been better if he didn't say it. Once he said it, Qin Jiandang almost got angry to death.
"Your sister and we are in the fields, planting rice under the scorching sun, but you are sleeping here and have wet the crops. I'll break your legs." Qin Jiandang looked around, picked up a carrying pole and was about to hit him.
Qin Man was so scared that he closed his eyes, but after a long time, the carrying pole did not hit him. He opened his eyes secretly and looked, and found that it was his second uncle who stopped his father.
Qin Jiandang was a man with a good temper, and he only got angry a few times a year.
Today, he saw thousands of kilograms of millet wet like this, and the reason was because Qin Man fell asleep. How could he not be angry?
"That's enough, the grain is already wet, what's the point of beating it again?
The children are all wet, let them take a bath and change clothes, don't catch a cold." Qin Jianguo snatched the pole from the eldest brother and put it back.
Qin Jiandang frowned and said, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go take a shower? Do you want me to wash you?"
The children immediately ran to the room as if they had been pardoned. Seeing that the children had all left, Old Man Qin took off his bamboo hat and said, "Alright, stop standing there. It's okay if it gets wet. Fortunately, not all the grain has been dried. You should all go take a shower!"
Er Gouzi knew that they were worried about the millet sprouting due to moisture, so he chanted a few mantras to the millet, the air became hot, and several transparent beams of light entered the pile of millet.
In a place invisible to the naked eye, the wet millet was drying up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Hey, have you noticed that it seems to be getting warmer?" Zhao Yan was closest to the valley pile and could clearly feel that the air had become much hotter.
Others noticed it as well, but didn't take it too seriously. After all, it was summer, the rain had stopped, and it was normal for the weather to get hotter.
When Er Gouzi saw that the grain was dry, he stopped transmitting spiritual power.
Then he walked to the pile of grain and started shouting. Everyone was confused and didn't know what was wrong with Ergouzi.
Until Er Gouzi raised his front paw and pointed at the rice pile, Qin Jiandang was puzzled: "Why is Er Gou pointing at the rice pile? Wasn't it just built?"
"Open it and you'll know." Zhao Yan bent down, removed the stone pressing on the rainproof cloth, and then lifted a corner. She was surprised to find that the millet was dry and there was no moisture at all.
"What are you laughing at?" Qin Jianguo was puzzled by his wife's laughter.
Zhao Yan looked at everyone and said, "Look, the millet is dry."
"How is that possible? It's only been a short time, how can it dry that quickly?" Zhang Xiumei didn't believe it. She saw with her own eyes that the millet got wet, and it was only a few minutes since the rain stopped.
Seeing that her sister-in-law didn't believe her, Zhao Yan directly lifted the rainproof cloth and said, "Look for yourselves."
When Old Man Qin and others saw this, they were stunned and looked at the millet without any water in disbelief.
If the ground hadn't been still wet, they would have thought it was just a dream.
Jiang Yuxin thought of Han'er's words. He said Ergouzi was not an ordinary dog and was practicing like him.
Considering that Ergouzi had just asked them to look after the millet, it was clear that it was he who was helping secretly.
She immediately walked to Er Gouzi's side and touched its head.
"How did Ergouzi know that the millet was dry?" Qin Jianguo came back to his senses and looked at Ergouzi beside his brother's wife, full of confusion.
"Yes, it's not surprising that Han'er knew it. After all, his master is an old immortal. But how did Ergouzi know it?" Qin Jiandang also had a puzzled look.
Everyone else looked at Er Gouzi at the same time. In the end, Jiang Yuxin explained, "Dogs are different from humans. They have a more sensitive sense of smell. Besides, it's not an ordinary dog, so it's not surprising that it would notice it."
After listening to her explanation, everyone thought it made sense and didn't think about it any more.
Ergouzi smiled at Jiang Yuxin and stuck out his tongue, as if to thank her for helping him out.
Fearing that Chen Guofu would strike back, Old Man Qin did not store the millet and continued to cover it with rainproof cloth. If it did not rain tomorrow, he would dry the millet in the sun for another day. The drier the millet is, the longer it can be preserved.
The next day, it was another sunny day.
But having learned from his previous experience, Qin Man no longer believed in such horrible weather.
The weather is unpredictable. It may be sunny at one moment and covered with dark clouds and thunder the next.
Fortunately, it didn't rain until the sun went down.
So Qin Man and his sister, brother and sister put the grain into sacks together.
Today is the end of July, and the results are finally announced.
The school is crowded with parents and students.
Everyone was waiting for the school to announce the admission results, and Qin Jiandang originally wanted to go along.
But Qin Qiu and Qin Yu didn't let him go, saying they wanted to give them a surprise.
So, after they finished their breakfast, the two sisters rode a bicycle to the high school in town.
They arrived a little early, and the results had not yet been announced.
"Qin Yu, here!" A familiar voice sounded from the crowd. Qin Yu turned around and saw Su Jingyao grinning and waving at her.
Seeing that Qin Yu saw him, Su Jingyao walked over quickly and asked, "Why are you two sisters here so late?"
Su Jingyao, who was over seventeen years old, was much taller than Qin Yu, who was 1.7 meters tall. He stood in front of Qin Yu, blocking out a large area of sunlight.
