This autumn rain grew from a drizzle to a downpour, and did not let up the next day either. Song Tan, however, was happy: "Good, saves us the trouble of watering. The pond can rise a bit more too."
"But Niuniu can't be transported back today..."
Qiaoqiao was somewhat disappointed.
"It's fine," Professor Song was chuckling, "Cattle can be delivered in just one day, but catching rain for wheat sowing, that's just perfect!"
Before sowing, the soil needs enough irrigation. The fields had been prepared earlier, it was just the lack of available hands that caused a delay of a couple of days.
After this rain, the soil's been thoroughly soaked; not only do the apple trees not require watering, but wheat sowing can commence seamlessly after the rain stops. To Song Sancheng, this was a sign of heaven's favor!
