The Heat of the Day

The man wandered around the village and realized that he didn't know the village children well. As well, they approached her and ran away upon seeing her from afar.

Man Bao walked around for a while and got bored, so she simply ran home to organize her small box. Qian Clan said, "Mother, I'm going to school."

Nodded, "Go ahead." "Are you tired today?"

She was afraid that her little girl would be too tired from playing wildly, so she took an extra day off. If her daughter wanted to go, she would naturally support her.

Man Bao shook her head and said, "Not tired at all."

"Then go."

Man Bao ran to the schoolhouse with a small bookcase on her back and slipped in through the door. The gentleman standing on the podium appeared as if he hadn't. He was speechless at the feeble attempt to improve her actions. Up.

Are you sitting in the first-row seats? If so, why do you want to use the back door?

As soon as Man Bao entered the door and took only two steps forward, he quickly realized that once inside, there was no way to exit. Impossible.

She was red-faced as she carried her bookcase through the tables of students to the front.

Everyone was surprised to see her. Well, it's not accurate to say that she in; rather, she entered with great force. In.

Upon hearing the noise from behind, Mr. Zhuang, who pretended to have poor eyesight, turned his back to search for books, feeling helpless.

As the two masters met, Man displayed a pleasant smile and gestured, "Sir, I'm back for class."

Mr. Zhuang swept a glance at the noisy and murmuring students and nodded solemnly, "Return to your seats, sit down, and open your books..."

Bai Shanbao scowled at Bao and asked, "Why do you want to come to school?" School?

Man Bao gave him a boring backpack.

Bai Shanbao said he was sorry; he wanted to take one more day off to sleep at home, but his grandmother wouldn't allow it.

So he asked Man Bao with a wink, "How was the bridegroom?" groom?

He still loved the little game he played in the new room last night during the bridal party.

The message conveyed by this expression was too complex for Man Bao to understand. When she saw the gentleman glance at them, she stopped paying attention to him and opened her book. She sat upright, listening to the lesson.

Bai was feeling sorry. He has always been active, and doubt has arisen in his mind, which he still can't shake. He would move from side to side as if there were a fire burning under his buttocks.

The focus has been found. ReTurn.

Until the end of the class, Bai Shanbao put his book away before remembering the question he wanted to ask earlier, "Is marriage fun for the groom and the bride?"

"Fun, didn't you play with us all yesterday?"

"I mean today."

Man Bao said, "There's no today." Today, Sister Fang is already my fourth sister-in-law.

"Isn't it fun without a wedding?" Bai Shanbao inclined his head and asked, "There's at least one more person in your family; don't you feel any different?"

Man Bao thought for a moment and said, "I don't know anything." I don't know if my fourth sister-in-law's cooking is any good. Good, I hope that my culinary skills are as good as my sister-in-law's so that I can enjoy good food two times in a row. rotation."

With only three people in the family, Bai Shanbao simply couldn't understand.

The event didn't have much of an impact on many children. The Zhou family was overcrowded, and the children had to finish their chores daily and find ways to entertain themselves for the remainder of the time.

Highlighting the most significant change, Fourth Uncle, who used to enjoy taking them up the tree to collect bird eggs and down the river to catch fish, stopped spending as much time with them. anymore.

Ask him multiple times, and he would only agree twice to go up the tree and down the river with them.

So, it was still quite a pity.

Upon Fang's arrival, Qian assigned him a specific task immediately. Instead, she was asked to help with various household chores. After observing Fang for a few days and noticing her increasing familiarity with tasks, Qian decided to include her in the rotation. This change meant that Xiao's workload would decrease, and the share rotation would be extended. turn.

This is the advantage of having a large number of people; even Xiao Qian's wife is secretly looking forward to Lao Wu getting married. By then, they are afraid that they will have to divide into two groups to complete the household tasks, which will leave them with more free time.

As he had some free time, he started working on reclaiming a wasteland. Down, led by a group, clearing all debris from the ground before applying another layer of fertilizer.

Xiao Qian, on the other hand, asked and convinced them to work together to make tofu. Tofu.

Of course, she asked for help to make bean curd so that Zhou Erlang can collect it to sell. The profits will be divided among the households after deducting public expenses. public.

Zhou Dalang is responsible for tasks such as grinding beans and fetching water, while Xiao Qian focuses on making tofu. Feng assists with other tasks as needed. Hand.

Although the method is the same, altering the order of adding tofu may result in a slightly different taste.

Obviously, better.

But this situation only lasted until the middle of May.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, the sun has been shining brightly, making the days high and hot. Hot, Bao comes back from school every day with his clothes damp from sweat due to the high temperature at school.

During ten consecutive days of dry weather, Zhou Dalang was concerned about the water in the fields drying up and damaging the rice crops, while Old Zhou Tou was anxious about the possibility of torrential rains.

Some elderly men gathered regularly to squint at the clouds and the sun in the sky. Man Bao, who had just returned from school, was influenced by this habit and imitated them by looking up. ###

In the end, her eyes were blurred, but she couldn't see anything.

She then asked her father for advice, "Father, what are you looking at?"

Old Zhou Tou retracted his gaze from the sky and said, "Look at the clouds."

Man Bao looked up again and said, "The clouds now don't look as good as the ones I saw before."

Old Zhou Tou furrowed his brows in worry as he turned to the elderly man beside him and said, "Look at the sky, it's going to rain heavily."

"I think so, but who knows whether it is underneath," he said. He was older than the old Zhou head, sitting on a stone under a tree. "Four or five years ago, it was predicted that it would rain." However, it has been so hot that rain did come as a result. In the past few days, the humidity has been increasing. The stuffy darkness drifted, but then a gust of wind came and blew it away. "It's all gone, uncertain." Again. "Away, so let's see each other again."

Old Zhou Tou was a little worried, "Why don't we clean out the ditch over at the cove first."

"Would you like the village chief to carry a hoe and dig a ditch on such a hot day?"

Old Zhou Tou has never been a person. He was silent for a moment when he heard this, but as soon as he lowered his head to meet his little daughter's bright, curious eyes, he pondered for a moment. Eventually, he decided to go to the moment and speak with the chief. Something.

As mentioned earlier, the weather is currently hot, and the water level in the river is quite low. Consequently, the young and strong individuals in the village are very enthusiastic about cleaning the ditches.

On a day like this, it's not only necessary for them to consider drawing water from the river to irrigate their fields, but they also anticipate others diverting water from their fields into the ditches.

Unexpectedly, the accident occurred.
