Chapter 93
"You said Shao Xiuran went into the river to save me?" Weisheng raised his eyes and looked at Ye Qianqian in shock. "I thought he was swimming."
Does your family go swimming when the water rises in the fall?
Oh, I remember now, you are the only one left in your family.
Ye Qianqian was choked by Weisheng's matter-of-fact words. She cursed Weisheng in her heart, but said with a firm expression, "He went into the river because he knew you fell into the water. I saw it clearly from the bridge."
Weisheng uttered an "oh," then looked at Ye Qianqian with a hint of dissatisfaction. "We were so close, and you just stood on the bridge and watched."
“…”
After gnashing her teeth and taking a deep breath, Ye Qianqian put on a face full of shame. "I was so scared at the time. If anything had happened to you, I would definitely have died."
At this point, Ye Qianqian seemed to have just realized something and looked Weisheng up and down with an inquiring look. "Didn't you say you couldn't swim?"
They made this arrangement because they knew that this girl couldn't swim.
He smiled slightly, a hint of pride on his fair face. "Yeah, not before today."
But after today...she will be able to do a lot more.
Ye Qianqian was puzzled and couldn't help but look at Weisheng. "What about you?"
Weisheng: "I've seen other people swim before, and today I tried it a few times in the water. I didn't expect swimming to be so easy. No wonder you said you were such a good swimmer."
Ye Qianqian: You can’t pull one and step on another like that.
Such a huge mistake in such a well-planned plan made her heart, spleen, and lungs ache. But Ye Qianqian couldn't show it, so she had to go along with Weisheng's words.
"As long as you're okay, though,"
"But what?"
"But Shao Xiuran's condition is really serious. After all, he went into the river because of you. Do you want to go see him?"
Hearing this, Weisheng refused very decisively: "No."
"Ah? Why?"
Weisheng pursed his lips and gave Ye Qianqian a look of irritation, "He has a fever and a cold, what if he infects me?"
Ye Qianqian: “…”
~
Ever since Ye Qianqian fell in love with Zhang Zhang last year, she had often come to live with Zhang Zhang at his house. Today was no exception, but she was so angry at Weisheng's attitude that she found another excuse to go back to the educated youth center.
The main purpose was to tell Shao Xiuran about Weisheng's attitude and discuss whether to continue with this matter.
Weisheng watched Ye Qianqian leave expressionlessly, then locked the door, went to the space to make himself a cup of cold powder to prevent a cold, then hurriedly ate something and went to the east end of the village.
Old Liu's family at the east end of the village raised two local dogs. Last month, a litter of puppies was born. Weisheng went there this time to pick up the puppies.
When she went there, there were still two left. Weisheng heard that no one had reserved them, so she took them all away.
Ye Qianqian was afraid of dogs, so she took two dogs back with her to drive away the uninvited guests.
After returning home, Weisheng placed the two puppies in the main room. After finishing, he still felt a little lonely, so he took out a kitten from the space.
Weisheng's family had three brick houses. When they were first built, there were not enough bricks and they couldn't buy any more, so there was no partition wall in the house.
The east room with a door and walls was used as a storehouse, where rice, flour, grain, oil, as well as some belongings and miscellaneous items left by my parents were stored.
Because there were not enough bricks between the main room and the west room, only two chest-high fire walls were built. However, each fire wall was connected to a half-meter-high piece of glass, and the glass was covered with a layer of white paper, which could block the view to some extent.
There is a doorway between the two fire walls that is wider than a normal door, but there is no door installed.
Zhang Zhang's bed was placed between the west wall and the fire wall, against the back wall. Although the bed could be seen as soon as the door to the main room was opened, a curtain was hung over it to provide some privacy.
As for why Zhang Zhang doesn’t live in the east room...she is scared.
She always felt that when she was sleeping in the east room, she didn't even notice someone entering the main room.
There weren't many pieces of furniture in the house, just a bed on the west side and a desk near the window.
After leaving the west room, there is a square table and four benches placed against the inner wall of the main hall. There is a set of one-meter-wide cabinets on each side of the east room door.
Although there were not many pieces of furniture, they were all bought for Zhang Zhang by the village when the house was built.
Weisheng took out a few visible locks and door noses from the space, and went to take a look at the east room first. He always felt that this room could hide some contraband.
So I used the collection function of the space to sort it out, but you won’t believe it, Weisheng really found several banned books that shouldn’t exist.
Weisheng knew without thinking that this must have been put here by Ye Qianqian, so that when she no longer needed Zhang Zhang, she could use this incident to kill Zhang Zhang.
After putting away all the books, Weisheng piled up all the things left by Zhang Zhang's biological parents in the inner part of the room. Then he took out some wooden planks, hinges and other things from the space and used these things to merge the east room into two rooms.
After locking the newly vacated inner room with an open lock, Weisheng took out a few boards and put together two five-layer shelves, which he placed in a row against the east wall.
After the shelves were ready, she placed the rice, flour, grains and some miscellaneous items that she had just received from the space neatly on the shelves.
After putting it in place, Weisheng installed a door nose on the east room door and hung a visible lock on it.
After putting the keys and locks that originally locked the house door and the courtyard door into the space and replacing them with the new locks she took out from the space, Weisheng went to see the outdoor kitchen standing under the east courtyard wall.
The so-called outdoor kitchen is nothing more than a pergola in the yard with a stove inside, and then you can cook here all year round.
Of course, families with a large population would build two kang stoves inside, while families with a small population, like Zhang Zhang's, where there is only one person, would only build one.
Zhang Zhang's shed, like those of other homes in the village, contained a wood-burning stove, a stone worktop, and a large vat filled with water. As for condiments like oil, salt, and vinegar, some families kept them in a small, locked cabinet inside the shed, while others kept them inside.
It’s not that we are afraid of thieves stealing, but we are afraid that rats and some reptiles will ruin our good things.
Zhang Zhang's yard is similar in size to those of his neighbors on both sides, and the layout is also similar.
As soon as you leave the house, there is a shed for cooking on the left and a shed for eating and drinking in the summer on the right. Further out are the vegetable gardens, chicken coops and dry toilets of each household.
It's a very typical farmyard, with almost nothing special about it.
After changing the lock, Weisheng carried the bamboo basket and went to Zhang Zhang's private plot.
Weisheng wanted to harvest all the sweet potatoes from her own plot first, so as to save the villagers from having to help her harvest the sweet potatoes during their busy schedules.
She had space, so she grabbed the sweet potato stems and pulled them together, and then she lifted up a whole sweet potato plant.
After digging up all the sweet potatoes from the ground in one go, he put all the sweet potatoes except for a bamboo basket on his back and put the rest in the space until he got home.
As soon as I got home after harvesting sweet potatoes, Pang Sihai came over with a large bowl.
"Mom made you some hot noodle soup and told you to eat it while it's hot."
"So much? How can I finish it!" Weisheng took a look at the big bowl, then took a small bowl and gave half to Pang Sihai. He found an egg in the bowl, so he smiled and gave half to Pang Sihai as well.
After pulling him to finish eating noodles, Weisheng washed the dishes and went home with him.
After dinner, he chatted with his godmother for a while. He happened to meet the village chief who was going door to door to notify everyone to harvest the crops the next day. Weisheng greeted the village chief again. Seeing that it was getting late, he was sent home by Pang Sihai.
He didn't send them often, mainly because Pang Sihai was worried that someone would use shady tricks to deceive people into marriage.
Pang Sihai gave Weisheng a lot of instructions, including making sure to close the doors and windows at night. After that, he felt a little disgusted with the two local dogs that were not much bigger than a palm.
If we expect them to guard the house, we will have to wait at least another half a year.
After Pang Sihai left, Weisheng did not lock the door as he had instructed. Instead, he looked at the sky for a while with a high-powered telescope, then locked the door and entered the space.
Find a telegram in the space, a fake...
After a good night's sleep, Weisheng got up early, dressed himself, changed into a set of thick, wear-resistant clothes, and then went to the village primary school with a pot of boiled water.
When they arrived at the village primary school, he first gave all the students homework and then gave them three days of autumn harvest holiday. Afraid that these children would be disobedient and run to the river to play, Weisheng also asked them to help in the fields.
There is only one teaching staff in the village primary school, so holidays and other things are very flexible and free.
After all the students left, Weisheng locked the classroom door and walked towards the village committee compound.
In previous years, Zhang Zhang would help with the summer and autumn harvests, but she had little experience with farm work, so the village didn't assign her any heavy work.
When she came over today, no one thought anything was wrong. Some of the godmothers and sisters in the village rushed over as soon as they heard about Weisheng falling into the water yesterday, while others heard about it much later or today, and when they saw Weisheng now, they couldn't help but call her over to talk.
The sister from this family patted his head, the godmother from that family patted his shoulder, and the aunt who went to town yesterday took two pieces of candy and stuffed them into Weisheng's pocket as if coaxing a child.
Afterwards, they all advised her to go back and take care of it, saying that she fell into the water yesterday and shouldn't go out today.
Compared to Weisheng who was the center of attention, Shao Xiuran, who also went into the water even though he did not have a fever, did not receive the same treatment.
Not only that, the production team leader, who received instructions from Pang Sihai, directly arranged people to be in the group that had the most tiring work.
As for Ye Qianqian in the crowd, she didn't dare to look in Weisheng's direction, for fear that jealousy and resentment would burn Weisheng through her eyes.
…
Weisheng had observed the weather last night with a high-powered telescope and had gotten up early to use the meteorological techniques she had learned over the years to observe the weather. But no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't predict that hail would occur in three days.
But this is normal.
But Weisheng still wanted to observe further and try to find possible patterns.
So I got up early and measured the wind direction and wind speed again before going out. When I went out, I hid a video recorder and a temperature and humidity observer in the yard, preparing to use this method to make a real-time record.
Just as Weisheng was trying to do two things at once, chatting with others about family matters while his mind was full of the weather changes before the hailstorm, the village chief of Xing'an Village was also struggling with this matter.
Seeing Weisheng was also in the village committee compound, he couldn't help but call Weisheng to a corner.
It's not a big deal for their own village to harvest the autumn harvest early, but if they ask other villages to follow them and harvest the autumn harvest early, the reason Weisheng gave before cannot be put on the table.
As for whether the village chief believes what Weisheng said... he is currently at the stage of "better to believe it".
If there hadn't been hail, it would have been fine, as they could have just thought the children were frightened. But the problem now was that if there had been hail, their village would have suffered no losses, but other villages would likely still see reduced harvests. The thought of the potential loss of food distressed the village chief.
A village that treats orphans with such care and attention must be a good place. As the village chief, his character and personality play a decisive role. Weisheng wasn't surprised by his struggles.
So Weisheng didn't let him worry about it for too long, but directly took out a telegram he had created yesterday from the space.
The telegram contained only one sentence: 'There will be hail in Songbei Town in three days, be prepared for disaster!'
"Show this to them and say you found it in your pocket. Whether it's a prank or not, you'd rather believe it. As for whether they believe it or not," Weisheng shrugged slightly, "just do your best and leave it to fate."
village head:"……"
