The Sweetness of the Seventies

Chapter 63 Prepare for a rainy day

Ye Xiaofan took the wooden shovel and went to dry the grain, ignoring Lin Xiaoru.

He Tiantian didn't seem to feel Lin Xiaoru's provocation, and smiled and said: "Xiaoyan is looking for Village Chief Qi, maybe there is something wrong! We have to work, why should we go with him! If there is something wrong, you can also go find him!"

After saying that, he didn't even look at Lin Xiaoru's ugly face.

Lin Xiaoru couldn't do her job well, and everyone saw it. She couldn't even hide from Village Chief Qi, so how could she dare to get in front of Village Chief Qi!

He Tiantian, this stinky girl, is just a smiling tiger, but she is a traitor on the inside!

Qi Xiaoyan walked up to Village Chief Qi. Seeing his daughter coming over, Village Chief Qi must have wanted to see him for something, so he handed the wooden shovel in his hand to the others.

"Xiaoyan, aren't you working in the canteen? Why are you here?" Village Chief Qi wiped the sweat with the towel around his neck and asked his daughter beside him.

Qi Xiaoyan pursed her lips, hesitated again and again, and finally made up her mind: "Dad, I saw ants crawling in groups from low places to high places in the cafeteria. This is a sign that it is going to rain. The food has not been completely harvested yet. If it rains, this food will be in trouble, and our life in Qijia Village will not be easy. "

Village Chief Qi was stunned, looked up at the sky, and asked doubtfully: "There is not a single dark cloud in the sky, where is the rain coming from?"

When Qi Xiaoyan saw her father saying the same thing, she couldn't help but get anxious and said, "Dad, this is what is said in our biology book. Those educated youths also saw it and said that this was also said in their hometown, and the man named Zhang Qingshan also said, There is a lot of foam on the water of the lotus pond, and it will also rain. I just came over there, and there is indeed foam in the pond. If it doesn't rain, we will only have to work hard; but if it rains, we will save our entire village. rations!”

Village Chief Qi suddenly realized, yes, his daughter was right, what farmers lack most is strength. If you can save food just in case, it's nothing to waste a little effort!

"Okay, I understand, you can go back. I will arrange for people to gather the food together. If it rains, it can be covered with plastic sheets in the shortest possible time." Village Chief Qi said, this year the commune will give everyone Several large plastic sheets were distributed in this village, specially used to prevent rain.

Qi Xiaoyan saw that her father listened to her words, and then she left with peace of mind. Before leaving, he said hello to He Tiantian and Ye Xiaofan. As for Lin Xiaoru, Huang Jingli and Qi Xiaoyan who were resting on the side, they were not familiar with them and were too lazy to talk to them. In fact, Qi Xiaoyan didn't mean anything else, but in Lin Xiaoru's eyes, Qi Xiaoyan looked down on her.

Seeing Qi Xiaoyan ignoring them, Lin Xiaoru also pouted behind her back. What's so great about her is that she has a father who is the village party secretary! Now someone is investigating, raising, exposing, and exposing Qi Dazhu. The good days of Qi Dazhu are probably coming to an end, and he might step down one day!

Not long after his daughter left, Village Chief Qi began to arrange for people to pile up the unthreshed rice. The grain that has been threshed out is spread on the ground to be exposed to the sun. Once it rains, they can be quickly piled up and covered with plastic sheets.

Although some people muttered that Village Chief Qi was looking for trouble, at this time, no one dared to challenge the authority of the village party secretary, at least on the surface, no one refuted it. The villagers saw that the educated youths were hardworking and had no choice but to stop working. It took more than an hour to pile all the rice into several big piles.

He Tiantian carefully observed the clouds in the sky and paid attention to the weather conditions at all times.

"The black cloud is coming!" Uncle Snake reminded the coward outside. Hey, this coward wants to help the villagers, but he is worried about his own situation. He is a contradictory woman!

He Tiantian was stunned, looked at the horizon carefully, and sure enough, there was a dark cloud, and shouted loudly: "There are dark clouds over there, hurry up and pile up food!"

He Tiantian took the wooden shovel and started to pile the grain into the middle, moving very quickly.

When Ye Xiaofan was eating before, he heard everyone's conversation and saw that He Tiantian was like this. He didn't have time to look at the horizon, so he just piled food. He didn't have time to look up at the black clouds on the horizon.

On the other hand, Lin Xiaoru and Huang Jingli looked carefully and saw that there was indeed a black cloud, and they suddenly turned pale with fear. If the food is washed away by rain or gets wet, it means they made a mistake in their work. Being criticized is a small matter, but not being able to get a share of food or being full is a big deal.

"What are you still doing? Why don't you come over and pile up food!" He Tiantian shouted. Usually these two people are just lazy, but now they see that the weather is bad, why don't you come over to help? Can't you move?

At this moment, Lin Xiaoru didn't care about He Tiantian's attitude and quickly took the wooden shovel to work. With the addition of Lin Xiaoru and Huang Jingli, their speed became faster.

When Village Chief Qi saw the dark clouds in the sky, he was not panicked. He had already asked people to make arrangements before. He only needed to cover the rice with plastic sheets, and then arranged for people to come over to help stack the food, etc. Although everyone was busy , but everything was done in an orderly manner and I picked up brooms, shovels and other tools.

By the time the dark cloud reached the top of the head, it had been piled up and covered with plastic sheeting!

Big raindrops fell on the ground, leaving big watermarks on the ground. Some of us were wearing makeshift raincoats made of straw, and some were hiding in wooden houses next to the threshing floor to avoid the rain, waiting. Ask people in the village to send raincoats over.

People who had complained about the village chief's arrangements before now dare not say a word. The rain came quickly and urgently. If Village Chief Qi hadn't made arrangements in advance, most of this year's food would have been lost, and the people of Qijia Village would have been hungry.

Zhao Dajiao chuckled and said, "Village Chief Qi, how did you know it was going to rain?"

Although she obeyed Village Chief Qi's arrangements just now, she actually thought that Village Chief Qi was doing something unnecessary. Unexpectedly, Village Chief Qi missed the opportunity and it actually rained, saving everyone's food rations.

"Haha!" Village Chief Qi smiled proudly, "It's nothing. I just saw ants moving to higher places in groups and thought it was raining, so I just took precautions and asked everyone to sort it out in advance. We people If you have more, don’t be afraid of wasting your energy, but don’t let the food get wet!”

"Village Chief Qi is right!" Everyone agreed. They could rest when they were tired, but if the food was spoiled, their efforts in the past six months would be gone. Not only could we not pay the public rations, we had no food to eat, so we had to eat wild vegetables and tree bark. "

For a time, Village Chief Qi's prestige in the hearts of the villagers became even higher.

These days, as long as they have enough to eat, everyone will support him.

Village Chief Qi was worried about the rice under the plastic sheet. He went over to take a look and was relieved when he saw that there was no water inside.

Village Chief Qi arranged for someone to watch here to prevent the wind from lifting the plastic sheet, and let the women and educated youth return to the village. Just now, a lot of raincoats were sent to the village, and everyone went home in batches.

Village Chief Qi was worried and personally led people to watch the threshing floor all night. The rain didn't stop until four o'clock in the morning the next day.

Seeing that it was not going to rain, Village Chief Qi quickly lit a torch and asked everyone to lift the plastic sheet to prevent the steam inside from getting damaged over time. After lifting the plastic sheet, Village Chief Qi reached in. Although it was a little hot inside, it was still dry and there was no major problem. As soon as it gets bright and the sun comes out, just bask in the sun.
