Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 314: Abnormal Flowing Clouds

"Yes, yes." Meng Xiuer responded.

Then he placed the wooden basin on the bluestone slab and took An Yue's hand to the main hall.

The aunt and the sister-in-law were in the main hall, chatting and laughing about their funny daily life in recent days.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the courtyard gate.

An Yue stood on the eaves and asked, "Who is it?"

"My sister is me."

It was An Nian who came back from the town school, and An Yue ran to open the door.

"Why do you come back so early on this day?" An Yue asked as she opened the door.

"The teacher asked us to recite a poem, and those who can do it best will go first." An Nian said as he took off the cloth bag he was wearing across his shoulder.

"So, you've memorized it early on?" An Yuexi asked with a smile.

"Yes! Huh? Why didn't I see Bashi?" An Yue asked as she walked to his room.

"It must have gone to the creek with Daniu Ale and the others to dig taro."

After An Yue closed the door, she inadvertently looked up at the sky.

Seeing the clouds rolling in the sky, An Yue scratched his head and walked into the room without paying much attention.

At this time, Meng Xiuer was preparing to go to the kitchen to cook dinner.

An Yue said to An Nian, "Niannian, help my sister-in-law pass the firewood. I'm going to the creek."

"Okay sister."

After hearing An Nian's response, An Yue picked up the backpack and walked towards the stream.

At this time in the sky, the sun appeared and disappeared, and the air was extremely hot and humid, as if being in a steamer.

An Yue trotted all the way to the stream, and she recalled a proverb in her mind: 'After a severe drought, there will be a severe flood.'

She calculated carefully and found that the drought had continued from the first month of the year until today, which was more than five months.

An Yue was afraid that this rain would cause severe flooding, so she had to hurry and get Daniu Ale home to dig a drainage ditch around the house.

An Yue came to the creek and soon found Da Niu Ale and Chunzhi who were digging taro.

She hurried over to them, shouting, "Daniu Ale, stop digging."

Chunzhi heard that it was An Yue's voice, so she asked, "Miss, what's wrong?"

"Go home quickly, it's going to rain heavily in the next few days." An Yue said breathlessly while running.

After hearing this, Daniu A'er and his team quickly put down their hoes, bent down and started picking up the dug taro into the backpack.

An Yue's backpack was small, so she quickly put it down and then quickly dug the taro on the ground into the basket.

When Chunzhi, Daniu and the others saw An Yue digging, everyone followed suit.

As An Yue carried the backpack, she said to the three of them, "Come back quickly. I'm going back first."

An Yue hurried back to plan how to dig the flood ditch.

After a while, An Yue ran home.

Da Niu Ale and Chunzhi followed closely behind. When everyone got home, they put down their backpacks and the three of them walked out of the yard with hoes.

When they came outside the yard, An Yue began to explain to them the progress of digging the flood ditch.

After a while, Daniu and the other two understood it.

After An Yue saw that everything was arranged at her family, she hurried to the west end of the village.

She wanted to run to the village chief and ask the villagers to prepare for flood prevention in advance.

In less than a quarter of an hour, An Yue ran to the west end of the village.

She knocked on the gate of the village chief's house and called out, "Uncle, uncle and aunt."

Qin heard the knock on the door, came out of the kitchen to open the door, and asked, "Yueyue, what's going on?"

Soon, the gate of the yard opened.

An Yue asked breathlessly, "Are Auntie, Uncle Weng and Uncle Jing at home?"

"They went to help Li Wu's family."

After hearing this, An Yue ran straight to Li Wu's house without saying a word.

Seeing An Yue turn around and run away, Qin said to herself, "This girl is running here in a hurry again. Is there something important happening again?"

Soon, An Yue arrived at Li Wu's house.

It turned out that Li Wu's family was renovating their thatched house. Since Li Wu had difficulty walking, he asked the village chief and his son to help him lay the roof.

An Yue stood at the bamboo fence and shouted, "Uncle, can you come down for a moment?"

Village chief Li Huairen looked at An Yue's anxious expression and asked quickly, "Yueyue, what's wrong?"

"Please come down, Yueyue has something important to tell you." An Yue opened her hands and placed them to her mouth, speaking loudly.

The village chief knew that An Yue was not the kind of child who was careless. Seeing that An Yue was very anxious, he quickly responded.

"Okay, I'll be right down."

Li Wu, who was standing in the yard handing out bundles of grass, quickly called out, "Yueyue, come in quickly."

An Yue smiled and responded, "Yeah, okay."

She walked into the yard and asked politely, "Uncle Li, are you repairing the roof?"

"Yes! We can make do with some new straw."

As soon as Li Wu finished speaking, the village chief came down from the roof.

An Yue quickly stepped forward and said, "Uncle, I'm so sorry that Yueyue is bothering you again."

Village chief Li Huairen asked jokingly, "You kid, you never come to my house for no reason. You only come to my house when you have something to do. Tell me, what's the urgent matter this time?"

An Yue pointed to the sky and said, "Uncle, look at the sky. The clouds are moving very fast. Yue Yue feels that it is going to rain heavily soon."

After listening to An Yue, the village chief raised his hands to cover his eyes and looked up at the sky.

"Then according to Yueyue's opinion, what should we do?"

"Uncle, after a severe drought there will be severe floods. It is always better to be careful. Yueyue hopes that Uncle will inform the villagers to dig flood ditches around their homes."

"Dig flood ditches?" the village chief repeated with a puzzled look on his face.

"It means digging a drainage ditch around the house to prevent the house from collapsing and causing casualties among the villagers."

The village chief looked up at the sky again and said, "What Yueyue said does make sense, but I'm afraid it won't rain for a while, right?"

"We have to notify them in advance. If it rains heavily, it will be too late."

"Okay, okay, I'll ask your uncle Jing to notify the villagers to come to the meeting, and then Yueyue will go up and talk to the villagers, how about that?"

An Yue did not answer, but thought for a moment.

"The main reason is that Uncle doesn't quite understand what Yueyue just said about digging flood ditches, and he doesn't know how to explain it to the villagers."

An Yue nodded and replied, "That's fine, Uncle will be responsible for calling the villagers over."

As he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew from the north, blowing up all the wheat straw on the ground in the yard.

The village chief quickly looked up and said to his son Li Jing, "Jing'er, come down quickly and call the villagers to a meeting. The sooner the better."

Li Wu, who was standing aside, heard what An Yue said, and he said quickly: "Now there is only the finishing touches left, uncle and brother Jing, go and get busy first!"

The village chief said to Li Wu, "I will finish the job, and you, brother Jing, can go and gather the villagers first."

Li Jing also came down from the roof and walked up to the village chief.

The village chief said to his son Li Jing, "Jing'er, call a few young people, unify the words, and go to gather the villagers separately. The sooner the better."

Li Wu's wife came out of the house and said jokingly, "Uncle, did you really listen to what Yueyue said?"
