Chapter 18 Natural phenomena before rain

Xu Qing picked up the fat meat in the bowl and brought it to Xu Jianshe's bowl.

When Xu's mother saw this, a smile appeared on her face, and she said with a hint of reproach: "Qing'er, all good things should be built first, don't spoil your little brother..."

Xu Qing smiled, then picked up a piece of pork belly that was leaner than fat and put it in a bowl.

Xu Qing moved her chopsticks, and the others who had been holding on for a long time finally couldn't help it and moved their chopsticks one after another.

There wasn't much meat in the bowl. There were more than a dozen people in Lao Xu's family, so only two or three pieces per person were gone.

but.

Everyone in Lao Xu's family was also very satisfied.

One by one, their mouths were filled with oil, and their faces showed a long-lost satisfaction.

When everyone was almost finished eating, Xu Qing asked casually: "Mom, I see that the wheat in the field is all yellow. When will our village be ready to harvest the wheat?"

It has only been a few days since the heavy rain occurred once in ten years.

Mother Xu asked without raising her head: "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"

Xu Qing definitely couldn't tell the truth. I'm afraid no one would believe it even if she told her. "I just asked casually, and Mom hasn't answered my question yet."

Xu's mother said: "Although the wheat looks yellow, it is not yet time to harvest it. If we wait, it will probably take half a month before we can harvest it."

After half?

Today is June [-]th.

It will be June [-]th in half a month.

There was a heavy rain on June [-]th.

If we harvest them again on June [-]th, the daylilies will be cold.

no!

We must persuade the team leader to lead everyone to cut the wheat before the heavy rain on June 17th.

"There are still twelve days."

Xu Qing whispered.

"Qing'er, what are you muttering about?"

Xu's mother asked.

Xu Qing shook her head, "No, it's nothing."

……

Time passed slowly.

"What I want to teach you today is the natural phenomenon before it rains."

Xu Qing stood on the podium and said unhurriedly.

All the students in the audience sat upright and listened carefully.

"Natural phenomena before rain include: ants move, flying insects fly low, fish emerge from the water, and earthworms come out of their holes..."

"By the way, in addition to natural phenomena before rain, some people will also have reactions. For example, some elderly people will feel back pain, listlessness, and even discomfort before the rain comes. This is how people change with the weather."

"There is a lot of rain in summer, so we farmers must pay special attention to weather changes, especially during busy farming periods. If there is a heavy rainstorm suddenly and we are unprepared, the losses will be very heavy..."

"I will give you a task today. It may rain in the next few days. You must pay special attention to the phenomena I mentioned earlier. Whoever can find out that it is about to rain and get confirmation will be the leader in our class. Monitor."

After Xu Qing finished her last words, all the students in the audience became restless and eager to try.

monitor.

The leader of a class.

Before today, Xu Qing had been instilling the importance and prestige of monitor to the students in the audience, but she had been delaying in choosing a candidate for monitor because of today.

Her eyes fell on Su Aiguo vaguely.

……

"Old man, you are finally back. Look at Patriot. You didn't do your homework when you came back from school. You kept sticking your butt out and looking for ants..."

As soon as the captain arrived home, the captain's wife came up to him and said with a worried look on his face.

The captain frowned.

I've only been patriotic for a few days, so I won't go back to my old self, right?

The captain attached great importance to his grandson's education. He immediately stopped eating and went out to take a look. Sure enough, he saw Song Aiguo sticking his butt out under the big tree.

The captain's face darkened, and he walked over with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "Aiguo, you don't do your homework, what are you looking for with your butt stuck out?"

Hearing the captain's voice, Song Aiguo raised his head, looked up at the captain, and said, "Grandpa, I am just completing the homework assigned by Teacher Xu."

"Operation?"

A look of surprise appeared on the captain's face.

Song Aiguo said seriously: "Yes, the teacher taught us the natural phenomena before it rains today."

"A natural phenomenon before it rains?"

The captain became interested and asked: "What are the natural phenomena before it rains?"

"Ants move, insects fly low, fish rise to the surface..."

Song Aiguo's memory was pretty good, and he recounted exactly what Xu Qing said.

The more the captain listened, the brighter his eyes became.

This was not the first time he had heard this statement, but it was the first time he had heard it so comprehensively.

"Any more?"

The captain asked subconsciously.

Song Aiguo said in a showy manner: "Teacher Xu also said that people change with the weather. Before it rains, some people will be listless or have back pain..."

This was the first time he heard such talk.

Very strange.

"People change with nature?"

The captain murmured, then looked at Song Aiguo and said, "Aiguo, have you noticed? Has it rained recently?"

"No."

Song Aiguo said quite disappointedly.

Without it, he wouldn't be able to be the monitor.

The captain laughed and said confidently: "It won't rain recently. Go back to your house and be patriotic."

To the captain's surprise, Song Aiguo shook his head and said firmly: "No, Teacher Xu said, it has been raining in the past few days. Let us pay special attention to whoever is the first to notice the signs before it rains." , who is the squad leader? The squad leader is the leader of a class and is very majestic. I want to be the squad leader."

"rain?"

The captain looked up at the sky. It was cloudless. He laughed and said nonchalantly: "My dear grandson, then you can continue to observe."

Now that he knew that Song Aiguo was not playing around, he felt relieved.

As for what Song Aiguo said about the recent rain, he immediately forgot about it.

……

On June [-]th, the children observed nothing for a day.

June [-], still no results, some children have begun to give up.

at last.

The day of June NO.17 has come.

Not surprisingly.

There will be a heavy rainstorm tonight.

and.

The duration of this downpour was despairing.

Xu Qing got up and washed up, and saw Xu's mother walking out of the house, "Mom, why didn't you go to work today?"

Because of the hot weather in summer, the villagers go to work at dawn. At noon, when the temperature rises, they will leave work and go home to rest, and then go to work in the evening when the temperature is slightly cooler.

Logically speaking, Xu's mother should have been working in the fields by this time.

"Your dad's old problem of back pain has happened again."

Mother Xu said casually.

Because it was an old problem, Xu's mother didn't take it to heart.

"Back pain?"

Xu Qing was moved in her heart.

She walked into the house and saw Father Xu lying on the bed, "Dad, your back hurts?"

Xu's father pushed himself up with difficulty and said, "It's an old problem. It keeps happening over and over again. It's very frustrating."

Xu Qing walked over and helped Xu's father, "Dad, think about it carefully, every time you have back pain, is it going to rain soon?"

Xu's father thought for a moment, looked at Xu Qing in surprise, and said, "You're right. Every time I have back pain, it's either raining or it's going to rain soon. Qing'er, how did you know? of?"

"I read in the book, Dad, you are a person who changes with the weather. Every time it rains, you will have back pain. No, dad, you have back pain now. Doesn't it mean it's going to rain soon? Already?"

Xu Qing said pretending to be surprised.

Xu's father's expression suddenly changed, "The wheat in the field is about to mature. If it rains now, the wheat production will definitely decrease this year."

Xu Qing thought: It is good to reduce production, because in the last life, after the heavy rain, there was almost no wheat harvest in the fields. The villagers had no harvest and either relied on surplus grain or government relief. Anyway, Life was very tight.
