Chapter 214

When a county magistrate goes to the countryside, according to the chief, it must be a good performance. If he asks what difficulties there are, there must be no difficulties.

So one day in advance, he sent a message to Qili Village. Even if the county magistrate didn't come, he must clean the roads in the village. Every family should clean their homes and take out the best things.

The white rice is too fake, and the inside head dare not ask so, so what he asks is that every family should make it according to the food during the new year.

Because Qili Village hasn't been a county magistrate for many years, many villagers have no experience in entertaining senior officials, so the village head can only pass it down according to the instructions of the village head.

There were a lot of things. We had a meeting under the banyan tree at the entrance of the village. When man Bao returned from the county, the meeting had just begun, so man Bao listened to the whole process.

She was a little angry. She felt that even if she didn't cry for poverty, she planned to show off her wealth.

So she followed Lao Zhoutou's ass to find the village head, trying to persuade him not to obey the mayor's instructions and change showing off his wealth into crying for poverty.

But before she finished, old Zhou tou took her back. As he walked, he turned back and said to the village head, "the child wants to go out one by one. Don't listen to her."

The village head waved, "Uncle Jin, take her back. I know."

It's impossible to cry for poverty. For such an obvious matter, the chief of the village will settle accounts afterwards. He should not be the village head?

However, it is impossible to show off their wealth, because they can't show off even if they want to show off their wealth.

The whole village, together with energetic children, cleaned the whole village in half a day.

In fact, there is nothing to clean, so I pick up the rubble on the road and fill it in some mud pits. What garbage can there be in rural areas?

However, there are more places to clean at home. The Zhou family cleaned the house inside and outside, more attentively than during the new year.

Man Bao ran to find Bai Shanbao. They gathered together and muttered for a while. Then they took their big head to play with the three children whose house collapsed. Zhou Dayuan had just married for half a year and his daughter-in-law was not pregnant, so there were no children at home.

However, Zhou Dayuan is not very old. Man Bao directly drags Shiro to find him.

Everyone gathered together and muttered.

The next day, when magistrate Fu came to Qili Village from Dali Village, the first thing to see was the three houses whose houses had collapsed.

As soon as I walked into the low courtyard wall of Zhou Dayuan's house, I saw a lot of dustpans on the ground, which were drying some ugly rice and wheat.

The chief was stunned and subconsciously stared at the village head. He saw that the village head was also staring. He was turning his head to see Zhou Dayuan's parents.

The chief also looked at Zhou Dayuan's parents. Obviously, the husband and wife didn't expect this at home. Their face turned white and their eyes hurried to look for their son in the crowd.

County Magistrate Fu didn't find their changes. He squatted down and looked at some blackened rice, touched it, and asked, "these are blistered?"

Zhou Dayuan took out a bag of wheat from the house and looked at the people in the yard with a surprised face. He didn't seem to expect so many people at home.

Man Bao pushed from behind the crowd to the front, hid behind Zhou Dalang and gave him a thumbs up to express his appreciation.

Zhou Da Yuan didn't dare wink at her and put the bag down without moving.

Seeing that Da Yuan's parents could not speak, magistrate Fu frowned, looked at Zhou Da Yuan and asked again, "these grains have been soaked?"

Zhou Da Yuan nodded repeatedly and said, "originally, except for some food left behind, the rest of the food of each household should be put on the wooden frame to avoid moisture. But my house collapsed. At that time, the beam fell down and the grain piled on the wooden frame was hit to the ground. There was a rainstorm outside. When the house collapsed, the water came in, so all the food was soaked. "

Then they were very unlucky. After that day, it was still a continuous heavy rain. In addition, they had to live in relatives' homes. They couldn't even care about people, let alone these grains.

When the rain finally decreased and they found a place to dry the grain, they moved out and saw that many wheat sprouted and many rice were surprised.

And the rest, even if they hang out, there are still many buds in the absence of the sun.

Big round father finally ruthlessly exchanged the sprouting wheat and rice with the people in the village in the proportion of three kilograms for one kilogram.

No way, these wheat and rice not only sprouted, but also wet, but even so, they didn't change much.

Like his family, there are many families whose food is affected by moisture.

And it's OK to eat one or two meals. If you buy too much, take it back. The buds are too high to eat. That's a waste.

Old Zhou tou changed a lot. It can be said that the Zhou family changed the most in the whole village, and changed 300 kilograms.

More wheat, less rice.

Zhou has a large family and a large place. Old Zhou tou directly burned charcoal in the kitchen and asked his second son to make a long and wide bamboo bed, put it on it, and put the charcoal under it to dry.

Pour the rice on it, bake it carefully with charcoal fire all night, and then turn it over, and the rice will dry slowly.

Although they brought buds, Lao Zhoutou didn't give up at all. After drying, they shelled. During this time, these rice were used for porridge cooking at home.

Although man Bao thought it was not delicious and lacked a lot of flavor, the Zhou family still ate with relish.

The wheat is also baked on it. If it is too late to bake, it will be ground into powder.

Because the wheat is wet, the flour grinded with the shell is not good-looking. It is black and yellow and also with the shell, but the family doesn't care. They directly bake the flour on the bamboo bed, carefully dry it and put it away. In the future, it can be made into noodle soup with bran, pancake or steamed bread.

Although the taste may not be very good, at least it can be preserved.

Dayuan also came to visit their bamboo bed curiously and spent money to book one with Zhou Erlang.

But they couldn't recover much loss for their family, because they had few families and had to be watched all the time.

We have to be busy with the work in the field and stare at the fire at home. We may have to stay up late at night. The big circle family is four people and can't stand it at all.

The old Zhou family, six sons, four daughters-in-law and one eldest daughter, plus their old couple, guarded one by one for twelve hours a day, and one more person came out for one hour, which did not affect the work in the field at all.

Therefore, except for the old Zhou family, most of the grain of other families finally turned into such dark and musty food because they failed to dry and dry in time.

County Magistrate Fu rubbed his hand and opened his hand. It was dark. Recently, a musty smell came to my face.

County Magistrate Fu said nothing.

The master book that followed him hurriedly said, "Sir, let's go to the next one."

County Magistrate Fu glanced at him and asked Zhou Dahuan, "how many mu of wheat and rice have you planted this year, how many have been flooded, but you have planted beans?"

Zhou Da Yuan answered one by one.

County Magistrate Fu nodded, asked the master to write down his situation, and took people to the other two to have a look. The two families are also drying grain in the yard. It can be said that now the whole village is drying moldy and blackened grain in the yard.

Everyone has a good reason, "the sun is better these two days. If you don't dry it quickly, I'm afraid it will rain later."
