Chapter 172 Drought Savior
In the evening, Gu Huaijin came back very late again.
He had a hasty dinner in the kitchen, washed and yawned before walking into the house.
Xu Muzhen had been sleeping for a while, but was woken up by the huge urge to urinate.
She was extremely angry.
I had just slept for a short time, and I was really annoyed when I woke up while I was still sleeping soundly!
But no one can really hold back the urge to pee.
Xu Maqian stood up with difficulty holding on to the kang, holding her big belly where her feet could not be seen, and walked down carefully.
The swaying look, as if he was about to fall down at any time, was very scary.
As soon as Gu Huaijin arrived at the house, this was what he saw.
He was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and he immediately woke up from his drowsiness.
He walked in three steps at a time, reaching out to support Xu Muzhen who couldn't find his shoes.
"Be careful!" He helped her sit on Kangshan, then squatted down and quickly put on her shoes.
Then he helped Xu Muzhen to the place where the porridge was specially placed.
Now in the third trimester of her pregnancy, the huge pressure from her two children has forced her to have frequent incontinence.
So at night, a porcelain bucket was placed in the house.
In this way, even if she gets up at night, she doesn't have to go out the door.
Xu Muqian's face was distorted as she endured the urge.
Looking at the husband beside him, he stammered, "Go...far away, close your eyes and ears."
Gu Huaijin walked to the door obediently and covered her ears, saying, "I can't hear you anymore."
Xu Muchian listened, turned to look, and then relaxed.
She quickly untied her belt and sat on Gong's bucket, enjoying the refreshing feeling.
After she settled it, she slowly walked to the kang.
Looking at the man who was still covering his ears, he said, "Okay, come here!"
Gu Huaijin took her hand, walked over and said, "We are an old couple, why are you so shy?"
"What an old couple!" Xu Muzhen said, wrinkling her nose.
Why are we an old married couple? She is only twenty years old!
She is obviously still a beautiful young girl in her prime.
Moreover, even if they are an old married couple, she cannot accept having someone standing by her side to listen when it is convenient.
That’s really super embarrassing, okay!
Gu Huaijin had a deeply tired look on his face, but he still smiled and talked to her, saying, "Why are we not an old married couple anymore?"
We have so many children, and it won’t be long before we get married.”
o(﹏)oAlthough he is telling the truth, why doesn’t he want to hear it so much?
Xu Muzhen reached out and touched Gu Huaijin's frown, and said, "Are things very difficult recently?"
Why does he look so tired?
Gu Huaijin reached out to hold her hand, sighed and said, "It's a little tricky."
Recently, the entire Qianhu Station has been busy due to drought.
Now that the wheat has not grown up, it would be a drop in the bucket if we only rely on carrying water for watering.
It is not easy for households to take care of their own fields.
The 100 acres allocated to the household were not taken care of at all.
But if there is no watering, the one hundred acres of wheat will die from drought, and this year's harvest will be greatly reduced.
If the grain delivered to the court cannot be paid, the court will blame it.
By then, I'm afraid the entire Liaoning Health Center will be in trouble.
The heads of thousands of households have been extremely worried these past few days, and he is also running around.
Seeing how tired he was, Xu Maqian felt heartbroken.
But there was nothing he could do to help him.
If it doesn't rain, what can people do?
"What is that?" Looking at the things on the table, Xu Muchian took it over and asked doubtfully, "Windmill?"
"Yeah! I saw it on the street today and bought it for you to play with." Gu Huaijin blew it casually and the windmill started spinning.
The windmill is made of an unknown leaf, painted with various colors.
After rotating, it becomes very beautiful and colorful, like a rotating rainbow.
Xu Mu smiled lightly, shook the stopped windmill with his hand, and said angrily: "You treat me like a child!"
Shouldn't such a gadget be bought for the children at home?
I bought it for her to play with and let others see it. It’s not a joke!
"What kind of toys are these boys playing with?" Gu Huaijin yawned and said casually.
For boys, pens, inks, paper and inkstones, swords, guns, swords and halberds are their ‘toys’!
You must learn those skills to be able to protect your family and country, and protect your wife, children, and children.
The corners of Xu Muqian's mouth twitched, if the children heard this, they would be sad.
I can't even play with toys anymore.
Seeing that Gu Huaijin was extremely sleepy and still trying to talk to herself.
Xu Maqian sat on the kang and motioned for him to come up and help put the windmill next to the window.
Then when you open the window tomorrow, you can see the windmill turning.
Gu Huaijin inserted the windmill and blew it casually.
Then he quickly lay down to sleep.
Xu Muzhen tilted her head and watched the colorful windmill turning, and then suddenly shouted in surprise.
"Ah! I thought of it!"
"Wha...what!"
Gu Huaijin, who had just laid down, was so frightened that she immediately sat up in the air.
He rushed over, looked at Xu Muzhen nervously, and said in a trembling voice, "What's wrong? Are you about to give birth?"
Xu Maqian was extremely excited at this time.
He shook his head and said, "No, no! Windmill, windmill!"
Gu Huaijin's head was filled with questions, what does this mean?
However, it doesn’t just happen after you give birth.
This sudden shock scared him out of his drowsiness.
He stood up, took the windmill and handed it over.
There was doubt in his voice as he said, "Would you like me to hold it while you sleep?"
This will crush it!
Xu Muchian listened and looked at him as if he were a fool.
She's not a child, even if she really likes windmills, she won't be able to hold them to sleep!
It’s so scary when I don’t feel comfortable under the quilt!
But she didn't have time to argue with him now.
He said anxiously, "I have a solution to this drought. Go get pen and paper quickly."
"Oh! Okay!" Gu Huaijin listened and agreed without saying a word.
He didn't even wear any shoes, he just stood barefoot on the kang and brought a pen and paper over.
Xu Maqian took a pen and paper and started drawing without saying a word.
Gu Huaijin stood aside and watched for a while, but couldn't see any clue.
While waiting, he looked at the flickering dim candlelight, then found another oil lamp and lit it.
In an instant, the brightness in the room increased a lot.
Time passed quietly, and the two of them sat around the Kang table for a long time.
A complete waterwheel drawing was drawn by Xu Muzhen and presented on paper.
Putting down the pen in his hand, Xu Muchian picked up the drawing and gently blew on the wet ink on it.
After the drawing is finished, I feel relaxed.
She smiled as brightly as a peach blossom, handed the drawing to Gu Huaijin, and said, "Here!"
"This is?" Gu Huaijin took the drawing and looked at the big wheel on it, a little confused.
It looks a little bit similar to a windmill, but it's completely different when you look closely.
There are many small bucket-like pendants on the big wheels.
