Crossing the farm gate, the whole family reunites in the disaster year

Cui Jingwen didn't come back until after noon.

As soon as they reached the door, all the members of the Cui family were called out.

To be precise, it was two people and three ox carts.

Looking at the oxcart full of blue bricks, Lin was stunned for a moment: "Why did you suddenly think of buying blue bricks?"

Cui Jingwen was very proud: "These bricks were given to me by the county magistrate. I said I didn't want them, but he insisted that I take them back."

Lin: “…”

Old Lady Cui stroked the blue bricks and smacked her lips in amazement. "These bricks are enough to build two houses. The county magistrate is truly amazing. Not many families in our village can afford to build blue brick houses."

The villagers basically use their own adobe bricks to build houses. Those who have money will grit their teeth and buy red bricks to build two main rooms. A red brick costs two cents, and the bricks alone will cost at least ten taels to build two main rooms.

The price of blue bricks is three times that of red bricks, so only wealthy families in the city would be willing to use blue bricks to build houses.

Lin originally planned to build only a red brick house.

"This is only half of it. There are two more truckloads coming this afternoon." Cui Jingwen said reluctantly, "The county magistrate didn't spend any money. These blue bricks are leftover from the renovation of the county government office a few years ago. Uncle Wang said that they were just sitting there anyway, and since we're building a house, he gave them all to us."

......Uncle Wang.

Lin couldn't help but curl her lips.

Cui Zhaozhao also felt annoyed.

My brother is the typical guy who will climb to the sky if given a ladder, and will eat as soon as he sees a pile of dog shit. He hasn't changed at all.

The ox cart was still parked in front of the Cui family's door. Lin pointed to someone to lead the way to the new house to unload the cart, then turned around with an expressionless face.

"I think the county magistrate also wants you to have a better study environment. I will go to Cuicui's father to revise the blueprints this afternoon. These blue bricks will be used to build a large study for you."

Cui Zhaozhao added, "There are plenty of bricks anyway, so we can build a large study room. We can eat and sleep in the study, which will be perfect for us to concentrate on our studies."

Lin nodded: "Good idea."

Cui Jingwen was shocked: "Are you going to lock me in here again?"

Lin and Cui Zhaozhao smiled at each other: "Good idea."

Cui Jingwen wanted to cry but had no tears, and there seemed to be thunder rumbling in his ears.

Damn it, he should have known not to brag earlier. God knows he just wanted to hear their flattery. How could a good blue brick end up becoming a cage?

Drops of water slowly slid down my face, one drop, two drops... No!

Cui Jingwen wiped his face and quickly raised his head.

"It's raining!"

The others also looked up at the sky. It was still clear, but the rain was falling.

"It's really raining!"

Xiao Qi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, clapping his hands together: "I smell the smell of earth!"

"The wheat can't be exposed to the rain. Quick, grab the bags and stuff and go pack the wheat."

More and more people heard the sound of rain, and the villagers went from initial ecstasy to chaos.

Wheat will sprout when it comes into contact with water, and must not be exposed to rain.

The advantage of having more people was once again demonstrated. Those who were strong used wooden shovels, and the others scooped the wheat with their hands. In less than a quarter of an hour, all the wheat was put into bags.

After hurriedly sending the wheat back home, a group of people rushed to help Mr. Cui harvest the grain.

In the end, regardless of closeness, every family in the village would go to help the family that had finished collecting the confiscated goods after they finished their work. The atmosphere was tense yet full of humanity.

It was not until all the wheat was in the bags that everyone collapsed on the ground in shock.

It's so scary.

Almost a year's harvest was ruined.

"Has the rain stopped?"

Everyone was soaked. They reached out their hands to feel the rain and it seemed to have stopped.

"Pah, pah, pah! It rained so hard just now, but it stopped just after we harvested the wheat. God is playing tricks on us again."

"It's too late to come here, and it's causing more trouble now."
