Heavy rain in northern Shanxi, heavy rain is like a note, naturally will not miss the rock fort this place-

On that day, it rained for nearly a day, and the four fields were vast, and the sky and the earth seemed to be filled with only boundless rain and the sound of the rain falling.

The moment the rain fell, both the people outside the city and the soldiers and officials in the city were all jubilant.

Good rain knows the season!

This rain came really at the right time.

Naturally, the drill could not continue, and the recruits of the Rock Fort battalion also got a rare day off, and they all slept in the barracks listening to the sound of the rain.

It's also moisturizing.

The rain watered the earth, and the land, which had been thirsty for months, absorbed the water sufficiently, and the dirt road outside the rock fort was muddy, and puddles appeared in the field.

Due to the heavy rain, the water volume of the Gan River and the Huanshui River has skyrocketed, and with the arrival of the rain, the ice that is already left on the river surface has melted even more, and the ice in the center of the river has almost melted, forming an obvious collapse.

After this heavy rain, the sky and the earth are fresh.

The next day, Dong Ce issued an order, ordering the soldiers to take a two-day holiday, and specially stated that this was a spring ploughing holiday. This is the first time, and there will be irregular holidays after that, so that the soldiers can go home to cultivate the fields.

The recruits have fields in their homes, and after the heavy rain, the land is soft, and now it is the second month of the lunar calendar, and if it is the solar calendar of the future generations, it is now almost April, and it is also the spring plowing season.

During this period of time, the last thing that dare not be delayed is the agricultural time.

The people take food as the sky, and the fundamental reason why the rock fort can stand is that it can provide enough food for the people and distribute enough land to the people, so that the people can serve as soldiers and pay food with peace of mind. If this year's grain harvest fails or there is no harvest, then all the things that the Rock Fort is now will be like a castle built on the beach, and after the sea water rushes by, it will disappear without a trace.

This is absolutely not tolerable to Dong Ce.

Therefore, spring ploughing is an absolute event in Rock Fort.

And even if you don't have a holiday, you can't train, although the school field of Rock Fort is very strong, but after all, it is dirt, and it is not paved with bricks and stones.

At this time, the advantages of the original design of the rock fort are reflected, there are sewers in all directions, and finally converge outside the city, and drain into a thin stream, but this stream eventually does not flow into the Gan River or the Huanshui River, but into the big bay at the end of the Dongguan Canal.

Because this Dawan is also a farm in the Animal Husbandry Division, there are a lot of fish and shrimp in it, and where is there any chemical pollution and industrial pollution in this era? Basically, all the garbage is domestic garbage, which is poured into the sewer and flows down into the big bay, which happens to serve as food for the fish and shrimp inside.

Now the water in the school yard has basically been drained and the ground is exposed.

If you don't use it anymore, drain the water and dry it for a day or two, and you will naturally be able to restore your old appearance.

But if you are still training, hundreds of people and hundreds of pairs of big feet are trampled around, I am afraid that this school field will be trampled on, and it will be very difficult to recover.

Qian Yichuan went home again, but this time, he didn't carry the huge grain bag. Zheng was digging a ditch at the door with a hoe, and she was very neat under her hands, and after a while, she dug a small ditch about three feet long, connecting the inside and outside of the yard, and the stagnant water in the yard suddenly poured out and flowed down the slope in front of the door.

Originally, the terrain of this yard was quite high, and it was reasonable to say that it was easy to drain, but the problem was that when I first built the house, I felt that the weather was so dry, how many years had it been dry, even if it rained, it couldn't get a few drops, and what were you digging drainage ditches for?

As a result, I didn't expect such a heavy rain yesterday, and there was no drainage in the yard, and the water was almost a foot old!

Early this morning, Zheng hurried over to drain the water.

Hearing the sound of footsteps behind her, she turned her head and saw that it was Qian Yichuan, and her face was full of surprise: "Why are you back?" ”

"It's a holiday, isn't it raining heavily, it's the most suitable for spring ploughing in the rain. Master Dong is gracious, take a day off, and let us come back to farm. Qian Yichuan said with a smile.

"Really?" Zheng was overjoyed and said with a smile: "I'm still worried here, seeing that it has just rained heavily, it is the season to plough the land, and you can't come back, what can I do?" I can't do it alone. You're back, it's easy to say. ”

Qian Yichuan stepped forward, the ground after the rain was still very muddy, the lower half of his pants was already covered with mud, and the thick cotton shoes issued by the army were also soaked in muddy water. Zheng Shi felt distressed when he saw it, and hurriedly said: "Come in quickly, I'll boil you some hot water to burn your feet, don't freeze out." ”

"Hey, no, where is it so delicate?" Qian Yichuan waved his hand: "It's just a two-day vacation, our family has so much land, the time is urgent, we have to come quickly, let's go, let's take the cow and go." ”

"Done."

Zheng is also a neat person, so he responded very simply.

Qian Yichuan saw the tiredness on her face, and his heart tightened: "I didn't sleep well yesterday." ”

"Our house is leaking, it's raining heavily, it's raining lightly inside." Zheng smiled bitterly: "After tossing for a night, how can you sleep well?" ”

When they entered the courtyard, they saw that the courtyard was a mess as if it had been swept away by a flood, and the ground was full of grass, which had been washed out of the cowshed. The cowshed was also flooded, and the hay inside was soaked and washed everywhere, and even the roof of the cowshed was half broken by the heavy rain, and it had to be repaired.

The sturdy big scalper was standing in the hall, and when he saw Qian Yichuan, he let out a mooing sound, which was very affectionate.

Glancing at the miserable situation in the yard, Qian Yichuan's brows furrowed, but when he saw that the ploughing cattle were fine, he was half relieved.

This big animal, but this year's harvest is hopeful! If it's there, then don't panic.

The house was also soaked, a puddle of mud, according to the traces left, Qian Yichuan judged the depth of the water in the house, I am afraid that it will be more than a foot when it is the deepest.

In such deep water, everything was soaked, and he hurriedly asked, "Where is our food?" ”

"Don't worry, I'll put the grain on the kang as soon as it rains." Zheng stroked his hair and sat on the stove panting: "Food is the root of life, and food can't happen if something happens to people!" ”

Qian Yichuan entered the back room, and sure enough, he saw that several bags of grain were placed on the kang unharmed, so the other half of his heart was also relaxed. After walking around the house and counting carefully, there were a total of six holes in the roof, which were not small, and the rainwater could come in directly.

But this is also a matter of course, when it was first built, the roof was made of straw and mud, and it is strange that it can withstand the rain so much.

These holes must be filled, otherwise the harsh winter has not yet passed, the spring is cold, and people will be uneasy to sleep at night.

The cattle are still there, and the grain is fine, which is very lucky, and other losses cannot be called losses. After all, they are two kinds of property.

As soon as he turned around, Qian Yichuan saw Zheng's tired appearance, and felt very guilty in his heart.

The barracks are built tall and sturdy, all of which are made of terrazzo bricks and large bluestone, and the roofs are also covered with fine tiles, so there is no need to worry about rain. With such a heavy rain yesterday, they didn't have to practice, and they slept very comfortably in the barracks one by one, and Qian Yichuan was no exception. Thinking about it at that time, I didn't seem to be worried about my family, and then thinking about Zheng's busy operation after running in the rain alone, I couldn't help but feel that I had no conscience.

It's just that he didn't say much, and he didn't know how to express it, so he gently squeezed Zheng's hand: "You rest at home, I'll go alone." ”

"How's that going to work?" Zheng knew that he was hurting himself, and his heart was sweet, but she also knew that this was not the time to rest: "One person leads the cow, and the other holds the plow, so it takes two people to succeed." Let's go, let's go, you don't know my body yet? ”

As he spoke, he led the big ox out of the house, and Qian Yichuan hurriedly took the ploughshare, rope, etc., and followed him out.

They were divided into a lot of land close to where they lived, and they just walked the path down the slope.

On the edge of the ground was a stone the size of a millstone, on which were written a few huge words: "Qian Yichuan eighty acres." ”

This is the boundary marker of his land.

From this boundary monument all the way to the south, until the next boundary monument, this piece of land belongs to his family. On the east side of the land is a small stream, and on the other side of the stream is the land of the eldest grandson of A.

When they arrived, they saw that there were already people working in the fields of Sun A's family.

A bullock walked in front, and a person behind him was holding a plow, far away, and he couldn't see his appearance clearly, but looking at his figure, he thought it was Sun Ada's mother-in-law Yang. The ox walked in front, but no one controlled it, so it was not so honest, and when it took a few steps forward, it was crooked, and it walked in all directions. The busy Yang clan was spinning around, and he was going to correct the direction of the cow after a while, and he really hated to have four hands, and he was anxious and tired to death. Thinking of the man who didn't know where to go, he suddenly felt sadness, sat on the ground, and didn't care that the ground was full of muddy water, and he cried out loud when he pulled his throat.

The crying was miserable, Qian Yichuan and Zheng both listened to it sincerely, and when they looked at each other, they couldn't help but sigh a little.

The Zheng family originally hated Sun Ada, but at this time, they also felt that the Yang family was really pitiful. Without a man, where can a person manage it? However, sighing and sighing were a very luxurious thing for them, and the two soon turned their attention to the crops. Now it is more than two months of the lunar calendar, and the growth of wheat is quite gratifying, it is already quite tall, a piece of green, which makes people happy to see it.
