Falling into the water
Chang'an subconsciously dodged to the side and almost fell into the water.
With a splash, his little cousin fell in.
The water here was not deep, but it was deep enough for a three or four-year-old child to fall down.
Chang'an stared blankly at his little cousin struggling in the water, her screams filling his mind:
[Ahhhhh! Damn it! Why did I fall down? Help! I don't want to die! I don't want to die.]
Chang'an's head hurt from the noise, and he couldn't help but pick his ears and quickly ran to shore.
At this time, the people who were watching the excitement by the pond also saw the situation and rushed over to rescue people.
When Song Xiyue was carried ashore, she was completely wilted.
After being held in the water, she slowly came to her senses.
She coughed and looked around for Changan. Seeing that she was standing with Goudan and looking at her, Song Xiyue burst into tears and pointed at Changan and shouted, "She hurt me! She is a devil and wants to kill me! Woohoo!"
"Bullshit!" Goudan was furious and shouted at her, "You wanted to push Changan, but you fell into the water. I saw it all."
He ran over with Changan, but before he could get off, he saw Song Xiyue walk behind Changan like a ghost and suddenly push forward.
He was shocked at the time, but when he saw Changan dodge, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"You are in the same group! Of course you help her! It was obviously she who pushed me into the water." Song Xiyue relied on her eloquence and insisted that it was Changan who hurt her, and the brat couldn't refute it.
Suddenly, Changan said, "You pushed me, but I dodged you, and you fell in by yourself."
Now, everyone was shocked.
Song Sanshun picked up his little niece and said in surprise: "Chang'an, you don't stutter anymore?"
Chang'an blinked and nodded slightly.
Since Xiao Miaomiao grew the sixth leaf, her mind has been much clearer. She seems to have figured out a lot of things and her memory seems to be better.
If she is allowed to recognize words again, she will definitely learn five words quickly.
Song Xiyue choked and looked at Chang'an with disbelief.
At this time, the voice of the little cousin came to Chang'an's head again: [What's the matter? Why is she speaking fluently? In her previous life, she was still stuttering when she was a teenager. Is she also reborn? ]
[Impossible! If she was also reborn, why is she still playing in the mud like a little fool? ]
Chang'an stared at the little cousin, knowing that she couldn't say anything that could be heard in her heart.
Even uncle and aunt can't say it. What if they think they are little monsters?
However, I can talk to the little goldfish at night and ask it what the previous life is? What is rebirth?
Soon, both the young Zhao and the old Zhao came over, crying and hugging Song Xiyue in their arms, cursing Chang'an with a face full of resentment: "You are a jinx! How dare you harm my Xiyue?"
Someone said: "Don't curse nonsense, it was your Xiyue who fell into the water by herself, we saw it with our own eyes, what does it have to do with others?" A few people
did see that the young Chang'an went there first, and Song Xiyue followed him sneakily, and finally fell into the water somehow.
But it was definitely not Chang'an who pushed her, that child was timid and cowardly, how could he harm others?
And everyone in the village knew that Song Xiyue relied on being one year older than Chang'an and taller than Chang'an, and liked to bully other children since she was a child.
Some people couldn't stand it and said it several times, but Mrs. Zhao always said it was just children playing, no big deal.
"You are all in the same group! You all bullied me!" Song Xiyue cried even more sadly.
Chang'an heard the little cousin's voice again: [They all deserve to die! It just so happens that a severe drought is about to begin, let them all starve to death! It's best if they all die! ]
Severe drought? Changan was puzzled and decided to write down all these words and ask the little goldfish. After returning home, Changan squatted and watched his uncle pick snail meat.
These snails are very big and have a lot of meat. One snail can pick out a large ball.
After picking the snails, Song Sanshun took his niece to the vegetable garden behind the house to pick perilla leaves.
Now the perilla has grown very tall and the leaves are much larger. Changan picked a lot and the small rice washing basket was soon full.
Changan has learned from the little goldfish that perilla has many benefits. It can not only relieve fever and anti-inflammatory, but also lower blood lipids, anti-oxidation and protect the liver. So she has eaten a lot recently, and even the color of her stool has turned red.
Although she doesn't understand what lowering blood lipids and anti-oxidation are, Changan understands that they are all diseases, and eating perilla can relieve them.
However, the little goldfish also said that people with qi deficiency and stomach fire should not eat too much to prevent counterproductive effects.
At noon, Changan had a hearty lunch.
The rice cooked with rice is very fragrant, and even a few grains of rice in it do not affect its deliciousness.
The aunt also fried a dish of basil and a dish of snail meat with wild onion.
The meat of the big snail was too chewy, and Chang'an couldn't chew the big piece. Finally, the aunt cut the snail meat into thin slices again and put it in Chang'an's bowl.
Song Sanshun ate the rice and chatted with his wife softly: "It hasn't rained yet, and the water in the pond is almost dry. If it goes on like this, the crops in our fields won't grow."
"Yes, if it doesn't rain again, we won't have a place to wash clothes." It is not allowed to use the water from the well to wash clothes. If others see it, they will be scolded to death.
Wu picked up a piece of snail meat for her husband: "Yesterday I saw people from the next village coming to our well to draw water, saying that there is not enough water over there."
Song Sanshun frowned: "What month is it now? The well water is not enough?" In previous years, this would only happen in summer. If you delay drawing water, the well water will run dry.
"Yes, there is no water in the small ditch beside the vegetable field. They water the seedlings from the pond, but the pond dries up quickly."
Wu sighed, "Don't let there be another drought like ten years ago. I don't know how many people will starve to death by then."
When Chang'an heard this, the snails in her mouth suddenly lost their fragrance.
She suddenly remembered what her cousin said, and asked hurriedly, "Aunt, what is a severe drought?"
"A severe drought means that it doesn't rain for a long time, the seedlings don't grow in the fields, there is no water in the river, and we can't eat." Song Sanshun said.
Chang'an was stunned.
Thinking that the water in the pond was indeed gradually decreasing, she immediately said, "Uncle, save, save more food for later meals."
Song Sanshun was stunned.
Yes, I have money now, why not buy more food and save it? If the harvest is not good this summer, my family will not starve.
But where to store the purchased food?
It's definitely not okay at home. His biological father might come over to make trouble one day. Once the grain in the new house is sold, he will be the one to blame for it in the future, especially when Song Jizu was cheated of a lot of money.
Mrs. Wu was also awakened by her niece's words, and hurriedly said: "Sanshun, why don't we buy more grain and bring it back? Anyway, there is no problem storing the surplus grain for two or three years. At worst, we can eat it slowly at home."
Song Sanshun nodded.
Grain must be bought, otherwise once the family's stored grain is eaten up, and the harvest is not good during the dry season, the little money he has will not be enough.
"I'll go to my father-in-law to discuss it tomorrow." Song Sanshun said.
The only people he can discuss with now are his father-in-law and mother-in-law. Fortunately, they are both reasonable and not as greedy as Zhao Lu. (End of this chapter)
