Chapter 144 144. Fulfilling Promises

Wang Hongying didn't care whether Yan Shoucheng had any difficulties in his heart. What she was most worried about now was that Su Yao would snatch Yan Shoucheng's property from her.

"Su Yao! This matter is our Yan family's fault after all. If you feel aggrieved and want a divorce, our Yan family won't stop you. We rural people are old-minded, and this man must have a good reputation. You can't let Shoucheng break up.

If you lose the incense, you won’t even be able to throw bowls when you die, so what should you do?”

Su Yao saw that Wang Hongying had made up her mind, and her forehead twitched: "Mom, this adoption is not a matter of one person, but also a problem of two families. Right now Shoucheng and I are doing well, but I can't guarantee it in the future, at least in the past few years.

There are no plans to separate."

"If you think you have to adopt one, I also have my own requirements. Once this child comes to my house, he will be my cub and cannot be close to his biological parents' house. Are you sure the other brothers want this result?"

Now the eldest and fourth family have a child, and the wives of both families love the child. When they are about to give birth to the child, Su Yao decides that it is impossible.

Wang Hongying was reminded and reacted.

"Then we have time, let's discuss it later."

Wang Hongying finally left, but the next day, the news spread throughout the village that Yan Shoucheng was infertile and wanted to have a child.

Yan Shoucheng didn't say anything about this matter, and he didn't seem to care at all, but Su Yao always felt sorry.

Also feeling very sorry was Yan Shiyun.

Before Yan Shoucheng left, he told only one person about the medical treatment, and he also promised that he would not gossip about it.

Who knows, before he comes back, everyone in the village will know about it.

After thinking about it all night, Yan Shiyun went to Su Yao's house as soon as he got off work at noon the next day.

Su Yao just came back and didn't go to work before he had rested.

When Yan Shiyun arrived, Su Yao had just finished cooking four dishes and one soup and was waiting for Yan Shoucheng to eat.

"Sit down and eat."

When Su Yao saw someone coming in, he asked Yan Shiyun to sit down.

"No, no, I've cooked some food at home. I can just go back and eat." Yan Shiyun didn't think he had any reason to stay.

"It's about adding a pair of chopsticks." Yan Shoucheng added an extra set of bowls and chopsticks and put them on the table.

"What the hell! I didn't tell anyone about your affairs," Yan Shiyun rubbed his hands and whispered.

"I know." Yan Shoucheng was afraid that he was still worried, so he replied: "My mother already said it when she came yesterday. When Haicheng called back to confirm, it was ignored."

Yan Shiyun came, Yan Shoucheng took out the wine, poured a glass for Yan Shiyun, and continued: "You don't have to worry, it's no big deal."

"It really can't be cured?" Yan Shiyun still felt sorry for his good brother.

Yan Shoucheng paused and said, "Medical science is developing very fast now, and the results may be available in a few years."

Not wanting to continue discussing his own affairs, Yan Shoucheng asked about the recent situation in the village: "How is it? Now that you have started working in the village, are you familiar with the people in the town?"

Yan Shiyun was determined to become the village chief, but if Yan Shoucheng hadn't been pushing him behind him, there might not have been any news yet.

After being tricked by Yan Fusheng last time, Yan Shoucheng also introduced several old acquaintances in the town to Yan Shiyun.

Yan Shiyun remembered Yan Shoucheng's kindness: "We are all familiar with it. Last time we said that after the results of this year's collective evaluation come out, everyone will have a good meal. Then you will come too, it will be lively."

"

After saying that, Yan Shiyun remembered Yan Shoucheng's school days.

At this time in previous years, Yan Shoucheng was not at home. This time, it had been two days since he came back, and there was no sign of leaving. For a while, he couldn't tell what was going on.

He asked tentatively: "I wonder if you will have time then."

Yan Shoucheng himself did not have an accurate time for the suspension of classes, but according to Lu Shanyi, Yan Shoucheng had to bow his head and admit his mistake before he could reluctantly relent.

Yan Shoucheng was too strong-willed this time, and it was impossible to follow Lu Shanyi's wishes. This matter was going on like this.

Yan Shoucheng used to only think about getting a good job after graduation, but he forgot that things after work still require connections.

What Lu Shanyi did this time was a wake-up call for him.

Since he has no plans to go back to school in the short term, Yan Shoucheng is also determined to work out the relationship at home.

Yan Shoucheng was silent for a while, thinking clearly about what to do next, and said, "Just tell me when the time is set. I won't go back to school for half a year."

"OK"

Seeing that Yan Shoucheng was still willing to have dinner with him, Yan Shiyun was sure that he had no grudges because of the current incident. After walking away from Yan Shoucheng, he looked at the sky and sighed.

"Last winter there wasn't much snow, but this year there were only two drizzles. When we opened the fields these two days, the ground was so hard that we couldn't even hoe. I guess there will be a drought this year."

Xiahe Village is located in the Central Plains, but water resources are not abundant. The villagers rely on a well in the village for drinking water, which is barely enough all year round. If there is a drought this year, the villagers will not be able to survive.

Su Yao vaguely remembered that in the original book, there were indeed natural disasters. There were two years of drought and one year of floods. Many people died in the village, and even several houses collapsed.

What a coincidence, this is the first year.

Su Yao has his own space, so there is no problem in carrying it through, but being in a large group, everyone will be prosperous and everyone will suffer losses, and he will not be able to do well when the time comes.

Compared to Su Yao's worries, Yan Shoucheng has lived in Xiahe Village for so long and is used to droughts.

"It's just the beginning of spring. I guarantee there will be more rain in summer."

That's how it is to rely on God, everything is uncertain and everything depends on luck.

"Well, no matter what, just sow the seeds first, and the rest will depend on heaven."

Yan Shiyun said this, but felt a little depressed in his heart.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally spoke: "That Xia Zhiqing came to see me and said that this year may be different from before. Not only will the weather be a little dry, but there may be a major drought."

When Su Yao heard this letter, he suddenly woke up.

In the original book, Xia Yulu was the lucky star of the village and made a lot of contributions to the village. So at the beginning of this year, she relied on the dream warning to tell the village about the severe drought at that time.

Later, relying on his image as a good person, he persuaded the whole village to dig wells and helped the village survive the first year of disaster.

But now, because of the previous incident with the child, Xia Yulu's reputation in the village was not very good. Su Yao thought she would hold a grudge and remain silent, but unexpectedly she jumped out.

But looking at Yan Shiyun's appearance, it seems that he doesn't really believe it.

Su Yao asked: "Did she say anything else?"

Yan Shiyun took a sip of wine: "Well, she said that not only is there a drought this year, but next year will not be a good year either. The harvest will be discounted then, and people will starve to death if it is not guaranteed."

"Xia Zhiqing is not someone who talks nonsense. Have you asked her how she got this news?"

Although Yan Shoucheng had an old grudge with Xia Yulu, his character was not slanderous.

When Xia Yulu said that this matter happened, she might actually have her information channel. After all, her family also had some connections.

Yan Shiyun looked a little ugly: "She said she dreamed about it in her dream."

Su Yao rubbed his fingers against the wall of the bowl. It was indeed a good excuse to talk about dreams, but it was not very convincing.

Yan Shoucheng noticed Su Yao's expression and asked casually: "Su Yao, you and Xia Zhiqing have been together for a long time. What do you think?"

Su Yao took up the conversation and talked about his thoughts: "Xia Zhiqing may be right. The rain in our village is indeed not abundant. Even if there is no severe drought, we must make some preparations. If there is more rain, we will be able to harvest by then."

Better.”

Yan Shiyun had a headache: "Xia Zhiqing said that if we want to solve the drought problem this time, we must dig wells in the fields and use the groundwater. When the rainwater is insufficient, we will rely on groundwater for irrigation."

"But building a well is not a trivial matter, and it is not easy to do."

When digging a well, you need to choose a site, and you need to hire someone to inspect the site.

In this day and age, many people don’t like to wade into this muddy water.

"Shou Cheng, I haven't read a book, so I don't understand these principles. Do you think they will work?"

Yan Shoucheng himself did not study geography, but he had heard about the principles of the irrigation system.

"It works. The main reason why our harvest is not good here is because there is not much rain. Irrigation by wells can ensure the growth of crops."

Since Su Yao said it was useful, Yan Shoucheng followed her idea: "I will find a way to invite people to look at the land. I have people I know in college who major in geology. I will ask them to come and play.

By the way, help us choose the location for drilling the well."

The most difficult problem has been solved, and the remaining problem of employment is Yan Shiyun's matter.

Soon, the topic went too far.

After sending Yan Shiyun away, Yan Shoucheng asked: "It was difficult to ask just now, is this drought thing true?"

Yan Shoucheng now only knows that Su Yao's origin is unusual. As for the other things, he is not too sure. When he asks this now, he is not asking about Su Yao's origin, but he is curious about Xia Yulu and how she knows this.

of.

Su Yao looked up at Yan Shoucheng. There was no emotion in his dark eyes. He lowered his head and was silent for a moment. After thinking about it over and over in his mind, he replied: "This is true. This year is just the beginning. Tomorrow will be even drier. It may be even worse in a year."

It won’t rain even once. But the year after next, there may be floods again.”

"flood?"
