D*mn It, Who Wants To Be With A Love Rival?

It has been raining continuously these past few days, so the young couple can only stay at home and do nothing.

Ji Congzhe is now good at knitting sweaters. Although the technique is still unfamiliar, some are tight and some are loose, but he can barely look good. Anyway, Wang Xiaoyan is at home every day. If he makes a mistake, she can help correct it.

In the middle of the night, the rain became heavier. Ji Congzhe and Lin Zhen were still asleep when they heard Chen Hu knocking on the door anxiously downstairs.

Ji Congzhe pushed Lin Zhen next to him anxiously, "Go down and take a look."

Lin Zhen quickly got up, put on his sweats, and went downstairs with his slippers. After a while, he went upstairs and called Ji Congzhe.

"What's wrong?"

"Brother Hu said that the rain was too heavy and the rice fields might be flooded. Let's go to Taban and have a look."

Ji Congzhe suddenly stood up from the bed.

This rice field is of great significance to them today. If something goes wrong, it will be all for nothing.

Except for Wang Xiaoyan, who was physically handicapped, everyone else went to their fields. Ji Congzhe and Lin Zhen, wearing bamboo hats and raincoats, plunged into the pouring rain with hoes on their shoulders.

The two of them almost relied on their familiarity with the Tasaka road and walked forward blindly in the dark. The dim flashlight was almost useless in the rain.

The two of them got wet from the rain, and finally reached their field with difficulty. They squatted down and took a closer look with a flashlight. They saw that the field was almost overflowing with rainwater. If water was not drained, the seedlings would all rot after soaking for two days.

Lin Zhen used the hoe to dig out the ridge of the field, and Ji Congzhe used the hoe to dig ditches around the field so that the water in the field could drain out along the ditch.

Before going out, Chen Hu told the young couple: On a sunny day, the ditch is full of water; on a cloudy day, the ditch is half full; on a rainy day, the water is drained; on a scorching day, the ditch is full of water.

So Ji Congzhe and Lin Zhen stayed on the field for most of the night, watching the water level in the rice fields slowly drop.

It wasn't until dawn that they dragged their exhausted bodies back home.

During these rainy days, all the farmers were on tenterhooks. Ji Congzhe and Lin Zhen had to go to the field every day to take a look. Fortunately, the water was drained in time and the seedlings were not damaged.

After the rain stops, summer will really come.

That night, Chen Hu from next door came over and asked them if they wanted to go to the mountain to pick mushrooms tomorrow morning. Originally, the green beans and cowpeas were already ripe, and Chen Hu and Uncle Yang couldn't finish the vegetables, so the young couple decided to pick them up. Fungi are of little interest.

But Chen Hu said, "The day after tomorrow is the market. Now you can take a tractor to the town from the village. I plan to pick up some mushrooms and sell them. If I can sell them, I can subsidize the family somewhat. If you two want to sell, come with me tomorrow." Go up the mountain."

Now that Wang Xiaoyan is pregnant, she will have more mouths to talk about after having a baby. It's no wonder that Chen Hu, who usually only works in the fields, wants to start a small business.

Ji Congzhe and Lin Zhen became interested in making money. They only have more than 250 yuan left in the drawer now. If they wait for the tea market to open next year, they don't know if this money will be enough to spend this year.
