When Su Weimin arrived home, Director Chen had finished the sour plum soup and started to drink the mung bean soup.

When Xiaoroubao was drinking the mung bean soup, he politely asked him, "Uncle, do you want to drink it? It's very sweet." Director Chen looked at the cute child and nodded for a bowl.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't really want to talk to Director Chen. She was worried that even if she used up the self-restraint she had accumulated in her life, she couldn't help but spit fragrance at him. Xiaoroubao was different. A small talker with social bullying, and anyone can chat for a long time, just in place of Su Xiaoxiao to entertain him, and sure enough, Xiaoroudun coaxed the family "Uncle Chen" into ecstasy with just a few words.

When Su Weimin came back, Director Chen's old face was already quite pleasant.

The same question, the same routine, Director Chen asked again, Su Weimin stumbled and answered in shock and disbelief, and finally he couldn't help but say: "I admit that I have arbitrarily proposed to harvest rice ahead of schedule. , even if the judgment is wrong, I will be alone, who is the tortoise **** who reported my daughter? There is no leader in the county who is stupid enough to believe this statement, right? An inexplicable crime, this person is too blackhearted!"

Director Chen: "..." Clearing his throat, "I've already called the meteorologist and the old man. If they all decide that the typhoon won't come early, you have to stop harvesting rice immediately..."

Su Xiaoxiao interrupted him: "What if the typhoon will come earlier? Although we are not a coastal area, we are not far away, and the typhoon season will be affected every year, but it usually happens after the double rush, even if It was wind and rain that knocked down some seedlings to make up for it, and I felt that it had little effect.

The situation where the typhoon blows up before the rice is harvested has also happened before. One day, the typhoon rains for three days, but it often rains for more than a week. Even if the rice does not fall off, it basically germinates when it is poured into the water for a week. If it is recovered, the rice will still germinate if there is no place to dry it, and it will also suffer heavy losses. So is it worth taking such a big risk in order to get more rice? "

Even though Su Xiaoxiao's voice was not high and her tone could be called gentle, the atmosphere was still developing in a tense direction. Director Chen recognized Su Weimin, but he was tolerant of Su Xiaoxiao, who was "arrogant and arrogant": "You Are you teaching me what to do?"

Su Xiaoxiao knew that she couldn't make any sense with this old-fashioned person, so she could only smile and say, "No, it's pointless for us to discuss this. Let's wait until the meteorological expert you trust arrives and see what he has to say."

Su Weimin also saw that this Director Chen treated his daughter not very well and well, and he didn't even care about him. The clever little meat bun went to the kitchen to steal a sweet potato and came back, and found that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so he went back to the kitchen. He started making jokes, asking "Uncle Chen" to eat sweet potatoes, and telling him vividly about the embarrassment that he was almost "eaten" by the swamp just now.

The staff members brought by Director Chen were very competent, and they brought a few meteorological experts and old-fashioned technicians in just over an hour.

Su Weimin personally took them to the fields to "investigate", and as he walked, he repeated what he had learned.

Everyone knows that this year is unusually hot, but the neighboring villages are not surrounded by mountains on three sides like Sujia Village, so there will not be such a big echo at night, even if it is a little louder than usual. It's true that there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants crawling out to enjoy the shade at night.

At noon, I ate a casual sweet potato and taro to deal with it. Several people followed Su Weimin to the pond. In the evening, they saw the fish jumping out of the water to enjoy the coolness. Watching the sun set, the fire clouds on the horizon were unusually red, like fish scales. Layer upon layer spread to the other end of the mountain.

An old man said: "There is no such big pond in our village, and it is the first time I have seen such a large school of fish jumping out to breathe."

Another old-fashioned style also said: "I didn't notice that the day was as red as a fire if you didn't pull me to see, but the burning of clouds doesn't mean that a typhoon is coming."

Meteorological experts are also not sure. The meteorological station does not monitor the signs of rainfall or typhoon, but it is indeed a bit unusual to walk in this circle. Their experience is relatively simple, in fact, they are not as good as these old-fashioned old-fashioned people who live in the village all year round and observe the details. of.

After the sun went down, all the heat waves focused on the "basin" surrounded by mountains on three sides in Sujia Village came out, and they really felt that this was indeed no ordinary sultry heat. , From the time they entered the village until now, they had never felt the slightest bit of wind and grass.

At night, a more terrifying "wail" sounded from all over the mountains and plains than last night. If everyone hadn't heard it together, they wouldn't have believed it was true. The animals on the other side of the mountain were clamoring, and the captive poultry and livestock here responded. , especially those dogs, barking piercingly, Sujia Village is like a closed valley, circulating, reverberating, and endless.

Only a village like Sujia Village, which is closest to nature, can "communicate" with nature in this way, and can receive nature's whine and warning in advance.

In the end, experts judged that it was very unusual. There must be some natural disasters, and it would not be too small. As for whether it is a typhoon or an earthquake or something else, it is not easy to judge, but the biggest possibility is that the typhoon season will come early.

Su Weimin said: "I've lived in Sujia Village for decades and this is the first time I've encountered such an extreme situation. Today it's worse than yesterday, and it wasn't so obvious yesterday. We have to speed up the collection process tomorrow, otherwise it's really too late. Now, within three days, the typhoon will definitely come." If he wasn't so sure yesterday, he is at least 90% sure today.

It is one thing to hear what others say, but Director Chen’s personal experience is another. He took the time to say: "I will report the situation to the county overnight, and try to notify the communes to rob them before dawn tomorrow, even if It's not a typhoon, I also recognize it."

Director Chen took people away overnight without saying a word of thanks or apology. Su Weimin didn't care, but after he slandered Su Xiaoxiao like this and left, his tone couldn't go on: "Leave without every word of apology, Anyone."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't care much, she said that she wouldn't lose a piece of meat in a few words, and she wanted to know who was full and had nothing to report her, but it was a blessing or a curse, and it was inevitable. When he arrived, his father didn't have the confidence to report to the county in advance. If the county didn't approve it, he wouldn't be able to grab the rice without authorization.

Even if we are confident today, we will report tomorrow, and wait for the county leaders to bring people to investigate and drag on for two or three days. It is uncertain which of the typhoons and the leaders will come first. Now Director Chen will report the situation as soon as he arrives, and the efficiency will be high. I hope I can grab more rice and save the losses. Strictly speaking, reporting that person is a good deed with bad intentions.

Han Cheng has been busy in the drying field for a day, and a layer of skin has been tanned on his face and body. The originally fine white skin is glowing red and accompanied by tingling. Su Xiaoxiao looks distressed. Sunscreen, Su Xiaoxiao had to find some aloe vera to apply to him.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned, while painting and blowing, her heart was broken: "The sun is too poisonous, the children haven't sunned you so hard, why are you so hurt?"

Han Cheng didn't pay much attention to it: "The temperature of the grain yard is higher. Those grains have been dried for a day and can be bagged. We working people are really capable. A lot of grain has been piled up in the granary for a day. According to At this rate, the harvest will be finished in a few days.”

Su Xiaoxiao shook his head and said, "My father didn't say that the typhoon will come within three days. Unless you grab it overnight, it will be too late. You can always grab it back as much as you can."

Su Xiaoxiao put down the aloe vera and blew lightly on the sunburned area of ​​Hancheng: "Hancheng, when we were in Qingfeng Town, the typhoon season was full of storms every year. Now, when I think that the heavy rice grains in the fields may be soaked in the water to germinate, I feel very heavy. Farmers rely on the sky to eat, and they look forward to this new grain all year round. It’s really true if they can’t even eat rice…”

Han Cheng thought for a while and said, "I'll call the troops tomorrow to report the situation, and ask the leaders to dispatch soldiers who have no assignments closest to here to help, and try to collect them within a day or two."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't think about this layer: "Is this in line with the rules?"

Han Cheng said, "There is a saying in Xiaoroubao that is actually true. The biggest meal in the world is the biggest, and everyone can't eat it, so what else can we talk about?"

Su smiled and nodded: "Okay, call tomorrow morning."



The next day, the sky was covered with burning clouds in the early morning. The meteorological station finally reported that the typhoon was about to log in. All teams were requested to do a good job in harvesting rice in advance.

Han Cheng called the old chief immediately, and when the old chief heard the situation, he was obliged to negotiate with the troops closest to the Su Family Commune.

The speed is really fast. The "reinforcement" arrived in the afternoon of the same day. One hundred and dozens of soldiers wearing military uniforms came to support them. Erhu did not say that he rolled up his trousers and threw himself into the collection work.

After hearing the broadcast, the members did not dare to slack off again, and even the most slack members cheered up.

The four big cubs are not as playful as they were on the first day. After a day of training, they are very proficient in the action of harvesting, and they are all dedicated to the work of harvesting.

The rice **** stopped picking up snails when they saw them, and Zhuzi stopped catching the loaches when they saw them. All of them were eager to harvest the rice into the granary as soon as possible.

The commune's cafeteria is open again, and people are invited to help with the work. Other than that, it is always necessary to manage people's meals. Su Xiaoxiao and Li Yufeng brought a few women to prepare the summer syrup and also began to prepare large pots of rice for everyone. .

Su Zhenhua went to the reservoir to catch more than a dozen large Anhui fishes, and then hurriedly joined the looting army.

The fields are in full swing, and Su Xiaoxiao's side is also in full swing. The conditions in the village are limited. No matter what, the multi-grain rice can be managed, and the extra fruits and vegetables are also picked from every household. Anhui fish is enough for everyone to eat a few pieces.

Anhui fish doesn't do those fancy practices, clean up and chop the pieces and simmer directly in two large iron pots with **** slices and aniseed. When the stew is almost done, add potatoes, eggplant and green beans. The spoon is enough for the meal.

Dinner starts on time at five o’clock. Today, all the members who participated in the rush collection can come to the cafeteria to eat. Needless to say, the rush collection work has not stopped, and they automatically and consciously eat in batches. .

The four brothers came to eat at six o'clock, and they devoured it. The rice **** and the pillars had never been eaten so quickly. After eating quickly, they joined the looting force without saying a word, without saying a word to Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao felt sorry for Han Cheng and the child, but didn't say anything.

There are many people and strength is great. In addition, brother Bing has good physical strength and well-trained, and he is a top performer. It would have taken at least three or four days to grab the work. All the rice has been harvested.

The other work of threshing and drying the grain can only be continued until tomorrow's day.

The soldiers have to rush back to the army overnight. Everyone is reluctant to give them eggs. Those who have eggs at home will send them eggs, and those who have dried sweet potatoes will send them dried sweet potatoes. , said that you can't take every stitch of the masses, come and go with mighty power, without taking away a cloud.
