Chapter 69: Excited
There was no time to admire the heroine's extraordinary talent. The rain suddenly intensified on the last stretch of the journey home, and the big raindrops hitting their bodies felt urgent and painful.
Meiberry and his family also had to concentrate on rushing home.
When the last batch of wheat came home, almost half of it was wet.
They deliberately put away the tables, chairs and benches in the living room and placed the wheat that had been temporarily soaked by the rain on the ground. Mei Youqian and Mei Pei looked at the wet wheat on the ground in silence.
"The ones stored in my space are dry. It won't hurt to take them out when the weather clears up, but these..."
Mayberry stared at the rain-soaked wheat with some confusion.
She really doesn't know how to deal with these things. Her parents said that wheat will turn black and moldy when it gets wet. Do you think she should throw it away?
However, it is not good to just throw it away.
Meiberry was already in a dilemma. Her eyes flickered towards the mule cub that had started to sleep in the yard. Meiberry quickly withdrew her gaze again.
No, no, she was worried that something would go wrong if she ate it for her own mules and chickens.
What can be done in case of thinning_(:3」∠)_
"Drink the ginger tea first, hurry up!"
Wei Meili went to the kitchen as soon as she got home and made a pot of thick brown sugar and ginger tea from the kitchen.
Wei Meili urged everyone in the family to get a bowl quickly, and then said: "After being exposed to the heavy rain for so long, drink more. Go to bed and take a nap to rest and sweat."
Meiberry took the ginger syrup and drank it while pinching her nose. Finally, she couldn't bear it and stuck out her tongue.
No matter how many times she drank this ginger taste, she still couldn't stand it.
After working all night, looking at the color of the water outside the house, and the faint light could be seen in the horizon, Meiberry couldn't help but yawned. She would wait until she woke up to talk about everything.
Meiberry went to bed obediently, and when she woke up naturally, she felt very hot, and the tip of her nose smelled the fresh fragrance of wheat mixed with earth, which made her feel like she was in a wheat field under the scorching sun.
Um?
where am I?
Opening her eyes suddenly, Meiberry looked at the familiar beams of her home and then breathed a sigh of relief.
She reached out and wiped the hot sweat from her forehead.
Then she felt a tingling sensation on Mayberry's arm when she raised her hand. When she turned her head, her eyes widened instantly!
For some unknown reason, Mei Berry discovered that except for the quilt on the kang where she slept, the rest of the kang was covered with wheat ears!
"Is this a kang used to dry wheat?"
Meiberry subconsciously touched the kang under her body. No wonder she woke up from the heat just now.
The sound of rain outside on the big window eaves was not too quiet. Meibei got off the kang and stretched out her hand to open the window a little. The refreshing coolness blew in from the outside, which immediately made Meibei, who was feeling dizzy from the heat, completely wake up.
She was completely awake and it was at this time that she heard the voices in the main room again.
When she opened the door and looked outside, Mei Mei saw her third uncle Mei Sanma chatting with her father and the others in the main room.
The umbrella hanging out against the wall of the main room was still dripping with rainwater. It looked like her third uncle had just arrived.
Mei Sanma and her father were sitting in the middle of a circle of wheat, and they learned about each other's harvest.
"Thanks to Youyou's great strength, he carried more than three to four hundred kilograms of wheat back home at one time!"
Mei Sanma sighed with emotion, and Mei Bei couldn't help but feel good after hearing this.
She is indeed a heroine!
It was a tight time last night, so everyone basically carried the wheat ears and straw back together. Two acres of land weighed 1,800 kilograms.
She and the mule boy could not carry more than a hundred kilograms at a time, and at most the mule boy could only carry almost two hundred kilograms.
In other words, Mei Bei took the mule cubs eight or nine times to complete the mission, while the heroine Mei You completed it in three times.
"Then is your wheat still seriously affected by moisture?"
Seeing the damp wheat ears on the ground in his house, Mei Youqian also cared about Mei Sanma and his family.
"It's okay, but one-fifth of the wheat is wet. If the rain continues for a few more days, one-fifth of the wheat..."
Mei Sanma sighed helplessly at the end, and her eyes fell on the silence of the rain that had not stopped outside.
"You go back and take care of the damp wheat, wash it and keep the ears. Later, when the rain is light, you can ask your daughter to bring the wheat ears over. We use a kang to dehumidify them."
As he spoke, Mei Youqian took Mei Sanma to the back room to take a look, "Your wooden house doesn't have a kang, so it's a bit troublesome. If you just use this kang to dry it, there will be nothing but a waste of firewood."
"Second brother! Thank you. If it weren't for you, I would have had to grind the wheat to feed the chickens." Mei Sanma inspected some of the wheat that had been dried on the kang, and while excited and grateful, he looked at it eagerly.
The earthen bed in front of you.
"Oh, thank you for what? Fortunately, we don't have much wheat, so this kang is enough. Otherwise, even if you wanted to, I wouldn't be able to accept it, right?"
Thinking of how busy he was with just a small field of wheat, Mei Youqian had to turn an extra corner and think of Lao Mei's family.
Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves missing you.
When the rain passes and the sky clears up, I'm afraid that Lao Mei's family will come again to cause trouble...
At this time, Meiberry touched her shriveled belly and turned directly to the kitchen to find something to eat.
"Mom, what are you making for food?"
As soon as she entered the house, Mayberry moved towards her mother.
Immediately afterwards, a strong smell of meat rushed straight into her nose, even the lid of the pot could not hide it.
"Pork ribs soup, but it's not ready yet. Let's eat this first."
With that said, her mother handed the small bowl placed on the pot lid to Mei Bei. Mei Bei looked down and saw that the smiling face that was happy with the ribs just now became stiff.
A bowl of brown sugar ginger boiled eggs.
This comparison is simply too harsh.
Even though her mother is very good at cooking, Meiberry doesn't think food made with large chunks of ginger will taste very good.
This made Meiberry, who couldn't stand the spicy taste of ginger, wrinkled into a bun face.
"One meal is enough, what about the second meal..."
Seeing her complaining like this, Wei Meili's attitude was particularly tough this time, saying: "Drink quickly, your body and bones are not in good shape. If you get cold..."
"Oh, no, I'm fine, can you not drink~"
"Be good, Berry Baby, drink it."
"Ah~ Mom, I don't want to drink..."
"Drink it!!"
Suddenly, Wei Meimei's voice suddenly rose, which startled Mei Li.
As soon as Mei Liang raised her head, she saw that Wei Meimei's mood had become very excited at this moment. While her lips were trembling slightly, Mei Li found that her mother's eyes had turned red at some point.
Was she blushing before she came in just now?
"Mom, what's wrong? Don't scare me."
Meiberry immediately put down the bowl, threw herself into her mother's arms, hugged her mother, and kept running her hands along her mother's back.
Her mother was a little too sensitive today, as if she had been stimulated by something.
"Did something happen?"
After Wei Meili's sudden excitement gradually subsided, Mei Bei asked.
Wei Meili also slowly answered: "This morning, the child in the house next door to your Aunt Wang's house died. Just because it rained last night, she had a high fever before dawn, and the child died within an hour.
…”
"ah!"
I can't say how familiar I am with the child Wei Meili, but sometimes when I visit Aunt Wang's house, the little daughter-in-law next door will bring this five or six-year-old child to play, and occasionally Mei Mei has seen her.
So Mayberry was also shocked when she suddenly heard this.
God knows, when Wei Meili heard the news when she first woke up in the morning, she was so frightened that she immediately returned to the room and nervously stretched out her hand to touch the forehead of Mei Li, who was still sleeping soundly.
When she repeatedly confirmed that Mei Mei was still fine, Wei Meili breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time felt depressed.
"A minor illness can kill someone" appeared so realistically around them that Wei Meili felt scared again and again.
After hearing what happened, Meiberry immediately ate the brown sugar ginger boiled eggs honestly.
After eating, she showed the clean bowl to Wei Meili, and she stayed close to Wei Meili after that.
It wasn't until Mei Bei felt that Wei Meimei had completely calmed down that she comforted her carefully: "Mom, don't worry about me~ Look, our family is fine now. We will be fine in the future too!"
This system also relies on our family to check in. It is asking for help from us, so it won’t let us go away casually! Don’t worry~”
After listening to the whole process, Meiberry commented with a yin and yang tone as she talked about the train system: [...6]
System: What did you say? Who begged you?
Mayberry: What did you say? The signal is not good.
System: I have a task about improving my body...
Mayberry: What mission?!
System: Isn’t your signal poor?
Mayberry:......
