Dressed As a Farm Boy, He Cheated on His Way Out of the Desert.

Chapter 72 Greed has no end

 Every member of the Li family also ran away.

Jia An Jiaxi raised his hands and ran wildly in the yard, while the others rushed to the fields in a swarm.

In the past two months, their shoulders were almost worn out by the carrying poles, but they could barely prevent the crops from dying from drought.

 At this moment, sweet rain fell from the sky.

 The dry land has been moistened, and all the cracks are like open mouths, trying hard to drink the rain and restore life.

 “It’s saved, it’s saved!”

 “No more carrying water!”

 “The crops are saved!”

The old men next door were tending the crops, so they simply knelt in the fields and waited for the rain.

 At this time, they cried even harder.

Originally, it was a good thing that they gave the land to the Li family for farming. They hoped that the Li family would grow more and harvest more food, so as not to have so much land empty, which would be a pity.

 They also have someone to rely on and their life is easier.

Who would have thought that there would be a severe drought at the beginning of spring.

If there is no harvest, the Li family will keep them in vain. Doesn't this give them an advantage?

 So, they hope the drought will pass quickly than anyone else.

Now that it has rained and the crops have been saved, no one is happier than them!

 Old Mrs. Li held her granddaughter in her arms and wiped her tears under the eaves.

Jiayin was a little dazed from sleep, yawning a little, and turned to look at the cheerful rain falling.

 The first thought in her mind was that the price of food was going to be reduced.

However, the vegetable garden in the small courtyard of the space will also be harvested.

 It’s okay to stop at this moment.

 The heavy rain continued for half the night, and it did not stop until the thirst of the long-term dry land was completely relieved.

Every family did not care about the mud and quickly tidied up their gardens.

 Replant the green vegetables first. Once they grow, you won’t have to go hungry again.

The naughty boys from each family ran to the river in a swarm, and soon they came back in a swarm.

 “There is water in the river!”

 “There is water in the river, we can catch fish!”

The villagers couldn't help laughing and scolding, "Of course there is water, it's all rainwater from the mountains! The water from the south will come down in a few days, and I'm afraid it will be even bigger."

The woman held her son's ears and muttered, "Stay away from the river! The river will flood you and sweep you away. Let's see who saves you!"

 “Oh, I got it, mother.”

The naughty boy responded well, but he still couldn't help but run to the river again and again.

 At this time, it was already the end of June, and replanting grain was out of the question.

Even in the fields, we can only grow cabbages and radishes, not even sweet potatoes.

 Because the growing season is too long, there will be frost before harvesting.

People are always like this, and their desires are hard to satisfy.

They were looking forward to rain. As long as it rains, they can replant some cabbage and radishes.

 As long as the whole family does not die of hunger, they will be satisfied.

 But now that they have planted cabbage and radish, they begin to envy the Li family.

It has only been raining for three days, and the crops in the Li family's field have begun to grow wildly.

 Look around and see a patch of fresh green.

I really want to gather this crop and put it in my own field.

　However, this is just a thought in my mind.

 Let’s not say that the Li family has the favor of sharing the water, just look at the hatchets and sickles in the hands of the Li family’s children and grandchildren...

 Everyone, regardless of whether it is true or not, greets the Li family with a smile.

Early in the morning that day, Li Laoer drove to the city to deliver groceries.

 This is the last car, and it will be sold out just in time for Manager Zhou to settle the bill.

As expected by Good News, the price of vegetables dropped on the second day after it rained.

Li Laoer was reluctant to part with it and insisted on selling a few more cars.

Today, Mrs. Li made the decision by slamming the table. For the last time, she took the account books into the city.

Li Laosan and Li Laosi both want to go to the fields.

 The rain from the sky relieves the thirst of the crops, and similarly, the weeds also benefit. It has only been a few days, and it has already grown taller than the crops.

 If it is not removed at this time, the nutrients of the crops will be robbed.

Orange Mrs. Li stopped her son and daughter-in-law and said.

 “I’ve been thinking about something these days, and you should also listen.”

 Li Laosan and Li Laosi both sat down.

 “Mom, what’s going on?”

Jiayin made a fuss about going to the field, and Mrs. Li put her granddaughter down.

Let her hold her knees and practice walking slowly around the chair.

She then said, "The whole village has been hit by the disaster, and all the crops have been destroyed. Now only our thirty acres are still there, and they are getting better and better in the past few days. It's really eye-catching."

As time goes by, I worry that someone will look at me and get jealous. It would be bad if something happened. "

Li Laosi stared at him at that time.

“Mom, don’t worry, I go to the fields every day. If anyone dares to be evil, I’ll beat him to death!”

Li Laosan also said, "Mom, we must go to the fields frequently."

Old Mrs. Li shook her head, "There is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. If someone really wants to cause trouble, you can't guard against it."

Jiayin grabbed the handle of the chair and nodded.

Mr. Li was so funny that he continued.

"Our family has thirty acres of land, which is quite a lot. This year, the grain tax has been exempted. Whatever we collect is our family's. Fifteen acres of land for the whole family is enough. The remaining fifteen acres of grain harvested in the autumn will be sold. .

 These days, my family sells vegetables and makes a lot of money. Our family is not short of money from selling grain, so why not let the news out now. Let's lend food to the villagers in autumn. "

 Li Laosan and Li Laosi looked at each other.

Li Laosi asked as his brain became brighter.

“Mom, do you want to tie up the whole village and follow our family to look at the crops?”

Mrs. Li smiled, her son was not too out of ideas.

"Yes, now everyone is jealous that our family has food. If we share it with everyone to tide over the difficulties, then the crops in this field belong to the whole village. But we are not afraid of harm from people, and there are dozens more people to take care of it together."

“Mom, you are so smart.”

 “Yes, this is a good method.”

 Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru both agreed, but Tao Hongying said it.

“Mom, borrowing food is a good thing. But don’t we all need to write a receipt and fingerprint it?”

Mrs. Li nodded, "When the second brother comes back, we will invite the village chief. Write a document, and whoever lends it will sign and have his fingerprints printed."

The matter was settled and everyone went to work.

When the sun turned to the west, Li Laoer came back with his mule cart. He smelled of alcohol, and it was obvious that he had drank a lot.

“Mother, I invited Manager Zhou and Officer Liu to have lunch at the tavern.”

Old Mrs. Li asked without blaming her son.

 “Has the settlement been settled for the same week?”

“Yes, mother, I gave him all the food money for today. This is not enough, so my son added eight more taels.”

Li Laoer felt a little distressed, but thinking that his family would get more, he let it go.

 “You go and sober up, there will be big things happening later.”

 Original Mrs. Li evicted her family and An Jiaxi went to invite the village chief.

The village chief has been busy lately, replanting seeds, guarding against wild beasts coming down the mountain, urging the villagers not to be lazy, and the few families staying here have to move out.

Suddenly he heard that the Li family was inviting him, so he hurried over.

“Sister, has someone harmed your crops? Which **** is jealous? I’ll kick him to death!”

 He spoke out to defend the Li family, making the Li family happy.

Li Laoer quickly helped him sit down, and Tao Hongying served tea.

The village chief was confused and didn't understand what was going on with the Li family.

 It doesn’t look like you’re being bullied?

Li Laoer took out a piece of paper, half of the article was filled with words, and the other half was blank.

“Uncle, there is something like this. Wait until I read this deed to you.”

The village chief became more and more confused, but as soon as Li Laoer read a few sentences, he stood up suddenly.

 The tea was spilled all over my clothes, and there was no time to wipe it up.
