The county magistrate's daughter only wants to farm

Gu Huaiyi threw down his chopsticks and sighed heavily.

"Husband, you haven't eaten well for the past three days. Please eat something." Seeing her husband's worried face, Xue hurriedly comforted him.

Gu Yin was also worried about the seedlings in the farm, wondering if they would be washed away by the water, and the vegetables, wondering if they would be drowned.

But as the rain outside gradually subsided, he continued to comfort her:

"Dad, the rain has subsided. Maybe it will stop tomorrow. Let's eat first. Only when you have a full meal can you have the strength to work. The people in this county are all depending on you."

"Alas, this rain has collapsed the dam. How can we irrigate the rice next season?"

Gu Huaiyi was so anxious that he had no appetite at all. He wanted to go and check it out immediately to see if there were any remedial measures.

"When the time comes, we will find a way out."

There are always more solutions than problems. There is no point in being anxious now.

"Yin'er, do you have any idea?" Gu Huaiyi thought of how his daughter had been able to make so many novel tools before, and couldn't help but look at Gu Yin with hope.

"We'll have to wait until the rain stops before we can say anything about that." Gu Yin didn't dare to make any promises.

Gu Huaiyi didn't dare to hold too much hope, but he still picked up the chopsticks to eat. Yin'er was right. How could he have the energy to work without eating?

The next day, the rain stopped, but there was still a trace of moisture in the air. The sun shone through the clouds, covering the entire county.

Gu Yin couldn't wait to get on the carriage. She wanted to go to the farm to see how the seedlings were doing.

"Yin'er, be careful on the road and pay attention to safety." Xue reminded from behind.

"I understand, Mom. You can go back now." Then she told Little Li to set off quickly.

The carriage was rumbling forward on the road in the county town. The whole county town was like a big fish pond, with water everywhere. The water in some sections was even knee-deep.

However, Gu Yin couldn't care about these for the time being. They went out of the city, and the road to the manor became bumpy. The carriage almost got stuck in the mud several times and couldn't get out. Finally, they arrived at the manor with difficulty.

"Zhao Jiang and Zhao He, how are our rice seedlings? Have they been washed away by the water?"

Gu Yin went straight to the rice field and saw the two brothers Zhao Jiang and Zhao He and asked hurriedly.

"Miss, the seedlings are fine. We released the water from the fields in time, and it doesn't seem to be a big problem at the moment." Zhao Jiang replied.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Gu Yin patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he walked around the rice field and made sure that the rice seedlings were still growing well, and finally he felt relieved.

When he turned around and was about to praise the two of them, he saw that their eyes were bloodshot and they looked haggard, and Zhao He's face was even redder.

I couldn't help but exclaimed: "You have a fever?"

The two shook their heads and said nothing. Gu Yin hurriedly urged them to go see a doctor.

"No, no, we can just go back and drink some ginger soup." Zhao Jiang waved his hand and said no.

"This is no joke. Let's go in a carriage."

Gu Yin couldn't let them say no. In this era when medical technology was underdeveloped, a fever could be fatal if not handled properly.

He asked Xiao Lizi to drive a horse-drawn carriage to take them to the clinic for treatment. Worried that they would not be willing to buy medicine, he also gave Xiao Lizi a few taels of silver.

He ordered: "Make sure they see the doctor. We will pay for it."

Little Leo nodded in agreement, feeling that the young lady was really kind-hearted.

Gu Yin didn't know what Xiao Li was thinking, but now she realized that during the three days of heavy rain, the two brothers must have been running around in the fields a lot, otherwise the rice fields would not have been safe and sound.

They can do this, so why would they be reluctant to part with a little money? Money is dead, but people are alive. As long as people are still alive, the money can be earned back at any time. I just hope they are okay.

After seeing them off, Gu Yin returned to the field to check on the vegetables she had planted.

When I saw the seedlings lying on the ground, my heart sank.

Her spicy hot pot, her chopped pepper fish head, her spicy chicken, her spicy shrimp and spicy crab...are they all going to leave her?

Pearl was also very disappointed when she saw the scene, but she was still shocked when she saw the young lady's grief-stricken expression.

This pepper... is it that important?

"Miss, Miss, there is still hope."

"Hmm...hmm? What did you say?" Gu Yin immediately perked up.

"Miss, I said these seedlings can still be saved, come and take a look."

"Many of them just fell down, but their roots were intact and they can still grow again."

Gu Yin hurried forward and dug them carefully. Indeed, most of the seedlings had just fallen over, but there were still many seedlings with broken roots and some with rotten roots.

Anyway, the result was much better than she had imagined. However, after three days of rain, the remaining pepper seedlings might rot easily, so they had to be transplanted as soon as possible.

Call Manager Zhao:

"Manager Zhao, is there anyone available now?"

"Miss, what do you want to do?" Manager Zhao asked respectfully.

"Transplant these pepper seedlings. The pepper seeds were sown on several plots of land. They will be transplanted now. I estimate that they can be planted on several acres of land. We need to dig up the land as soon as possible."

"The pepper seedlings can't be soaked in water for a long time. The soil is too wet now. We have to pull them out and preserve them."

Gu Yin gave instructions one by one, and Manager Zhao quickly responded. He checked the other vegetables and explained them one by one.

When they returned to the yard, Zhao Jiang and Zhao He had also returned from seeing the doctor. Zhao Jiang was not seriously ill, and he felt much better after taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor.

Zhao He had a high fever, and although the doctor prescribed medicine, his face was still red. In this era, there was no effective antipyretic medicine, so it was not an exaggeration to say that people could die from colds and fevers in ancient times.

"Oh, what should we do?" Aunt Chen touched her youngest son's forehead and her face was immediately filled with worry.

"It's okay, Mom. I'm fine." Zhao He cheered herself up to comfort her, but his tone sounded weak.

"Zhao Jiang and Zhao He, both of you should go back and rest. Rest more and drink more water."

Gu Yin instructed, then pulled Aunt Chen aside and whispered:

"Auntie, Zhao He doesn't look well. Please use warm water to wash his body to cool him down. Especially his forehead, neck, and armpits. Wash them more often. Do it every once in a while, but remember not to catch a cold."

"Also, don't forget to give them some more salt and sugar water to drink. Make sure they drink plenty of water."

"Ma'am, did you take note of it?"

"I've got it, I've got it." Aunt Chen seemed to have found her backbone and nodded repeatedly.

"If you find anything wrong, remember to send him to the clinic immediately. You can also come to the county government office to find me." Gu Yin continued to remind him.

"Okay, thank you, Miss." Aunt Chen said gratefully.

"My crops depend on them. Go and get busy. It's time for me to go home."

After watching Gu Yin's carriage leave, Aunt Chen told Qian:

"Listen to the young lady and make some salt and sugar water for them so they can drink more."

"We must have done a lot of good deeds in our previous life to have met such a good master..." Aunt Chen sighed as she prepared some hot water...
