Chapter 094 Tossing in the sun, picking up tiles from the rain

"It must be raining heavily there. Hurry up, take the sacks and put all the rice in it." Mei shouted hurriedly.

Seeing this, Gu Qiao hurriedly grabbed the sack from under the eaves, and then brought the scoop to the center of the yard.

Mei was pushing the millet into the center with a rake. Gu Qiao was weak, so he placed the sack flat on the ground and quickly slashed the millet into the bag.

"Pick up the bag." Mrs. Gu had already closed the warehouse gate and immediately used a cube to pick up rice.

Gu Qiao picked up the bag and exposed his mouth, so that Mrs. Gu could put the rice inside.

"The weather changes as soon as it happens. Oh, it's so sad." Mei sighed, put the rake aside, then came over to help pick up the millet, and then Gu Qiao took a broom to sweep the millet that had not been pushed clean.

The black clouds gradually piled up from the west, which made people anxious, and the three of them had to do their best to speed up.

But they never expected that after Gu Qiao and the others put all the rice into sacks, they found that the black clouds gradually moved eastward from their heads, and became thinner and thinner, and finally dissipated.

The previously hidden sun showed his face again, and then shone the strong light on the earth.

Gu Qiao couldn't help but ask Mrs. Gu: "Grandma, the sun is out, what should we do now?"

Mrs. Gu sighed and replied helplessly: "Pour the rice again and turn it over and dry it."

After the autumn tiger, the weather will become more varied, which is not conducive to drying the grain.

For example, today, I have to pour out the food after working for a long time, and it is useless to mess with people. So this is the reason why Mrs. Gu insisted on rushing to collect it a few days ago.

Gu Qiao could only accept his fate and push the rice away with Mei's family.

But no one expected that half an hour later, the sun once again played hide-and-seek with them, and the Gu Pozi family had to start collecting the valley again.

This time, God was serious and when the millet was just loaded into the bag, it smashed raindrops as big as beans.

"Hurry, Qiao'er, sweep the sun." Mrs. Gu shouted quickly, and then worked hard with Mei to move the sack to the granary.

The mouth of the sack was already tied tightly. Mei grabbed the tied mouth, while Gu Mazi grabbed the two horns at the end. The two of them worked hard to get the sack to the wooden board where the granary was standing.

After carrying a bag, the two of them went to carry another bag.

Gu Qiao quickly rolled the mat.

But the rain fell as soon as possible. Before the drying mat was completely rolled up, the sacks were all moved to the granary, and the heavy rain started to fall.

Gu Qiao swept the sun in the rain, quickly picked up the sun mat and placed it under the eaves of the wing room. Then, seeing Mei and Gu Ma Zi still moving the food, he immediately ran over to help.

Although she is weak, she can calculate as much as she can.

The three of them worked together and moved the sacks to the wood boards of the granary first.

It was not only raining today, but also wind and rain. The rain was carried around by the wind. Gu Qiao quickly ran to the wing room to bring the cleaned tart cloth. Seeing this, Mrs. Gu immediately opened the tart cloth with her and covered it with the sack.

After I was sure to cover all the rice, the three of them quickly ran through the rain and fog to the eaves of the opposite wing room, went to the kitchen to get the basin and bucket, and quickly took it to the bedroom to pick up the rain.

After finishing all this, the three of them were already panting.

Mrs. Gu looked at the accumulated rain on the ceiling and then ticked, ticking and falling, and couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that we have to find a bricklayer as soon as possible and pick up the tiles again, otherwise the room will leak more and more and there will be no one to live in the future."

The most important thing is that Gu Qiaoer had a fever because of the rain this spring. If the house leaks again and makes people sick, it will be more than worth the effort.

I had no money before, so I could only grit my teeth and hold on, but now I can't escape the expenses.

"I used to know that there was a bricklayer in Wangjia Village, but now... I'll go to the town to take a look." Mrs. Gu said again, and he couldn't help but worry while speaking.

After fighting for so many years, who knows whether the bricklayer is alive? Even if it is there, will the tiles have been reorganized and resumed work?

"Why would you like to ask me some questions when you turn around and let my uncle enter the city?" Gu Qiao suggested.

"That's fine." Mrs. Gu nodded.

Mei couldn't get in the mouth. Seeing that the two of them stopped talking, she pointed to the granary opposite and said, "I didn't expect that this oil cloth would come in handy now, otherwise I would have to open the warehouse to pour out the grain. I turned around and moved it out again. I don't know how much effort it would take."

"That's not. This thing has many uses." Mrs. Gu said and looked at Gu Qiao.

Gu Qiao scratched her head and blushed, "Mom, grandma, please comfort me. In general, this oil cloth is still a loss. But I will not worry about the gains and losses anymore. Remember to think carefully when making decisions in the future."

Seeing that she was thinking clearly, Gu Pozi and Mei smiled at each other and stopped persuading her.

And the rain never stopped until dark.

On the second day, it was a sunny day, and Gu Qiao hurriedly dried the valley.

The weather was repeated in the next few days, and the grain was drying repeatedly. For two consecutive days, it rained. The temperature of the rice in the middle of the sack increased a lot, which was tide and warm, so I was afraid of mold.

Fortunately, the sun finally showed its face on the third day, and Gu Qiao quickly poured out the millet and turned it over.

After drying the valley intermittently for ten days, I finally put all the rice into the granary with difficulty.

Mei Huanqing also found out about the mason. In order to save money, he simply discussed with Mrs. Gu and only bought tiles. Then Toroqing pulled them back with a ox cart. He moved the stairs and climbed up the roof to help the Gu family pick up the tiles.

He didn't get off the roof until it was almost dark, because he was rushing home and didn't even have supper.

Mrs. Gu and Mei were dissatisfied with each other, so they discussed going to the field to catch some fish. When Mei Huanqing picked up the tiles tomorrow, she would cook fish to entertain him, which was a little thank you.

"Mom, I think it's not like this. It's just that we're free these days, so why don't we make the tofu? Carp stewed tofu is both beautiful and delicious."

"I think it's OK!" Mrs. Gu immediately agreed and suggested, "If you make tofu, you can also let Qiaoer's uncle take some back. Otherwise, I will make tofu at home, and let Qiaoer call her third grandmother, aunt, cousin and uncle over here. Let's have the Double Ninth Festival in advance?"

"This... Qiao'er's third grandmother may not be able to come." Mei hesitated.

But Mrs. Gu saw more thoroughly than her, "Our invitation is our etiquette, and whether she comes or not is something she needs to consider. This matter is decided."

"As long, I'll soak the beans tonight."
