After working all morning, I was very tired, but as soon as I saw the results in the rice fields and saw the long-lost smile on my father's face, I felt that the fatigue was worth it!
"Dad, how many seedlings do you think our fields will lose?"
Liu Hai knew that even if many seedlings were saved by helping the rice seedlings, it was still unknown how many of the rice seedlings in this divided field could survive in the end!
Hearing this, Liu Qinglin shook his head sadly and said in a muffled voice: "This time it rained too hard and for too long, and these seedlings have almost grown, so not more than half of them can survive by supporting the seedlings! This time..."
Speaking of this, Liu Qinglin showed a reluctant expression on his face. He paused for a moment before saying, "This time our family may have more than an acre of fields without seedlings." His words were not very sad, but contained a sense of admiration for nature.
Cruel and heartless, deep helplessness!
Liu Hai felt helpless after hearing this. After thinking for a while, he really couldn't find a solution. The seedlings of all the farmers in the village, including the neighboring villages, must have been damaged by the heavy rain! Everyone is now facing the same problem of lack of seedlings.
problem!
Now that the time for sowing and transplanting rice seedlings in previous years is getting closer and closer, I am afraid that everyone is like me, too worried to sleep!
Liu Qinglin went up the mountain to see Huanghuadi, while Liu Hai went home alone. When he passed by his neighbor Liu Guodong's house, he found an old lady in her seventies at the door of the courtyard, carrying a bucket and swaying toward the courtyard with ragged steps.
Naturally, Liu Hai knew this old man. She was Liu Guodong's old mother. She was seventy-one this year. After her son Liu Guodong died of illness ten years ago, his daughter-in-law ran away, leaving only an eleven-year-old granddaughter to depend on.
Ten years have passed, and the old lady has worked very hard to raise her granddaughter. Fortunately, Liu Guodong's daughter is very upbeat. She knows that it is not easy for her grandma to raise her. She has loved her grandma since she was a child, competing for housework at home, and her academic performance in school is also top-notch.
!Now he is the only college student in the village who has been admitted to a prestigious university in recent years!
But after my granddaughter went to college, problems began to arise. In the past, the house was deserted, but there were at least two people for company. Now most of the time, the old lady is at home alone, and the housework naturally falls on the old lady alone!
Fortunately, in the early years, the old lady's family brought many good heirlooms! Now the market for antiques has surged in recent years, so after the old lady sells the dowry, she doesn't have to worry about her granddaughter's tuition and her own living expenses in a short period of time.
Living in rural areas, the conditions are naturally limited. It will definitely be very inconvenient if the family does not have a strong labor force! It is like having to go to the village river to pick up water for domestic use in the countryside!
How can an old lady do such physical work? She is close to Liu Hai's house, so Liu Qinglin usually helps with the heavy work on weekdays!
"Third Grandma, let me help you carry water!" Liu Hai hurriedly ran up and took the burden from the old lady's thin shoulders.
"Third Grandma, if you have any heavy work in the future, just call me. Now that I'm on vacation, I have plenty of time!"
The somewhat reproachful tone of bangs made the old lady startled, and she thought to herself, is this bangs?
Although Liu Hai was not bad-tempered or naughty in the past, he was a sullen person who couldn't hold back a word for a long time! He often ignored people and would not go to other people's houses to play in the village!
The old lady was a little confused by the suddenly enthusiastic bangs, but fortunately, the old lady always liked this child and didn't talk much about it, so she nodded with a smile.
"Xiao Hai————, which university are you going to take the exam for?"
The news of Liu Hai's rapid improvement spread widely in the village, and the old lady also heard about it. She knew that Liu Hai, who had poor grades in the past, could now choose to take the college entrance examination, so she was careful and asked.
"Third Grandma, I have just finished reading it. I still have to wait for the results to come out before choosing a university!"
"Well - your child has a future now, ok - ok, your dad and Xiaofu's dad were the two best-achieving kids in the village at the time, but people at that time were too poor and the society was unstable, ugh -
"What a fate!" Xiaofu is the granddaughter of the old lady and the daughter of Liu Guodong. The old lady has always regretted not sending Liu Guodong to college and often talked about these things.
"Third Grandma, Sister Xiaofu is so ambitious and filial. You can train Sister Xiaofu to become a college student in a famous university in the country. Who in the village doesn't respect you as an old man?" Liu Hai quickly offered words of comfort. The old lady's dull and gloomy tone made Liu Hai
While feeling sympathy, I also felt admiration!
Liu Hai poured two buckets of water into the water tank, reducing the water in the water tank to less than one-third. He turned around and said to the old lady: "Third Grandma, I will go pick up a few more loads of water. You can rest at home!"
"
After saying that, before the old lady could say no, she picked up the bucket and walked out the door.
I ran back and forth three more times before filling the water tank. The moment Liu Hai put down the water bucket, sweating profusely, his whole body trembled! He felt like something suddenly entered his head!
After a moment of recollection, Liu Hai showed a startled look on his face. He didn't even bother with the third grandma leaving him to eat lunch, and hurriedly ran home!
When I got home, my mother Xiao Yun was preparing lunch. After saying hello, Liu Hai hid in his bedroom.
Five minutes later, bangs appeared in front of the merit tree in the mysterious space!
Sure enough, if you look closely at the bottom leaf of the five-layer leaf next to the missing leaf, you will find that the tip of the leaf has a trace of crystal green that turns into a light purple!
One-tenth of the merit! 0.1 part of the merit!!
Yes, this is the merit that Liu Hai just gained from helping the old lady carry water! Although it is pitiful, Liu Hai is ecstatic at this time!
The moment he put down the bucket, the jade pendant hanging around Liu Hai's neck sent a mysterious message from the merit tree in the mysterious space!
"Get one-tenth of the merit!"
Do good deeds and do good deeds to get merit! Liu Hai finally discovered a way to get merit!
At this time, Liu Hai felt that a gap had opened on the top of his dark head, and a glimmer of hope passed through and shone on himself!
As long as you discover the method of obtaining merit, you can accumulate a certain amount of merit through hard work, thereby integrating more leaves and obtaining more wonderful benefits!
Ever since he learned that wearing a jade pendant on his mother had no effect, but that fusing the merit leaves could gain some magical benefits, Liu Hai began to become anxious!
Because he had a strong premonition - as long as he integrated more merit leaves, he would definitely be able to find a way to improve his mother's physical condition and reduce the pain of not being kissed!!
With the first merit leaf, your physical condition and memory will gradually improve, and you will be able to freely shuttle between the mysterious space and the outside world!
What benefits will it bring by fusing the second leaf?
