Under the continuous drought, the water volume of the wide Linghe River dropped by a quarter, revealing a large area of half-dry and half-wet river beaches.

Jian Ning also went, and the third sister stayed at home to deal with pumpkins, and their vegetable garden used high-efficiency chemical fertilizers, and the fruits and vegetables grew.

Especially pumpkins, growing out of the basin so big, one costs more than ten or twenty pounds, think at the beginning, Jian Ning planted a circle of pumpkins and watermelons around the front yard and backyard, a batch of ripe, seventy or eighty, can't eat it at all.

The production of the farming space and the harvest in the copy, Jian Ning has stored tens of thousands of catties of grain and vegetables, and he will not be staring at the little things at home for a long time.

Again, I often need to think about how to take food out of the space reasonably, and naturally I will not put things at home in the space.

The vegetables that cannot be eaten in the vegetable garden are all dried and preserved.

Make pumpkin into dried pumpkin, soak half of cowpeas, dry half, radish rolls, dried eggplant, dried plum vegetables, pickled cucumbers...... Jar after jar, all placed under the eaves of the backyard, other crazy vegetables have also been processed accordingly, the beams of their house are full of cloth bags, the door is open, the wind blows through the hall, and the swaying cloth bags are a scene.

More than half of the families in the village have run out of food, so they rely on the output of their own vegetable garden and the bracken that was dried before.

Everyone is about to become green men, Wang Anqing held a meeting to convene fishing, and the villagers all enthusiastically signed up to participate.

As with the annual hunting event, those who participate in the fishing industry can get an extra pound of fish.

More than 100 people set off carrying fishing nets and other tools.

Wang Anqing also selected a group of obedient half-sized children, who were responsible for turning over rocks in the shallows, catching crabs, picking up river mussels, and digging out yellow eels in silt holes.

The reason why we have to pick obedient ones and control the number of fishermen within 150 is because they don't know how deep the deep water area in the middle of the Linghe River is.

If you don't listen to the greeting, there are too many people, and it is easy to have an accident.

The nets are the best in the water, Jian Ning didn't go to join in the fun, took Deli and a group of half-sized children, turned crabs around the river beach, there were almost two or two big river crabs in July and August, and it was just right to make spicy crabs.

Deli has never eaten spicy crab, and when he heard the description of the fourth sister, his saliva was overflowing, and he turned over the stones very vigorously.

There is no shortage of fish in their family, some time ago they ate fish meat for many days in a row, there are dozens of fish in the ditch, the whole family discussed it in the morning, the fish that belong to them are all changed to crabs to eat, eat spicy crabs today, eat steamed crabs tomorrow, very beautiful.

"Ning girl, are the crabs fat?" Aunt Liu searched for Jian Ning's shadow everywhere as soon as she got off the dam.

"Fat!" Jian Ning forked a crab with a branch and threw it into the basket: "Aunt Liu, why are you here, why didn't I see you just now." ”

Aunt Liu smiled and said, "I'll carry the fish and walk behind you." ”

This batch of them is responsible for carrying the fish back to the village, picking out more than four catties, and the rest of the fish are all raised in the storage tank, if it weren't for the loss of half of the fish in the fish pond, Wang Anqing would have already divided a batch to raise it to the storage tank.

This time fishing, improving the food of the villagers is the secondary, the most important thing is to reserve grain, the storage tank is so long and so deep that it is a pity not to raise something.

"I heard that the captain of the day after tomorrow is going to gather people to hunt in the mountains, my eldest baby and the old man plan to sign up, my aunt thinks that you have great strength and work carefully, can you take care of them when the time comes?" Aunt Liu said embarrassedly: "I don't worry that they follow you, you don't have to take care of them from time to time, just pull them at the critical moment." ”

"Yes, but Aunt Liu, do you trust me so much?" In addition to Tian Chunmiao, Aunt Liu was the first and only middle-aged friend Jian Ning made in Shuimo Village, and she took care of her friend's family, and Jian Ning couldn't think of a reason to refuse.

"Of course!" Aunt Liu said happily: "You may not believe it when you say it, but Auntie thinks that you are reliable in driving my old man." ”

If it weren't for the girl's idea, this year's drought everyone would have to irrigate thousands of acres of fields from a bucket of water from the Linghe River a few miles away, and the workload can be imagined to be huge.

Last time, I avoided the disaster, dug a ditch to discharge the flood, received grain early, built a water storage tank, and piled piles and piles, all of which were inseparable from the girl's figure.

Wang Anqing didn't know what psychology it was, and it spread on a small scale.

Those who knew the inside information were very grateful to Jane Ning and had great trust in her.

Like this time, she gave Wang Anqing a blow, went into the mountains to hunt, and the village cadres gathered together, and when they heard that she proposed it, they immediately agreed.

In previous years, the village would also organize a large-scale hunt of wild boars, but before the hunt, they would go to the militia department to borrow a shotgun, and then borrow dozens of experienced militiamen to participate in the hunt.

Of course, the militia department did not privately swallow the eighty percent of the prey, but they took three percent and five percent for the public.

This time, the mountain range was flooded, and only grain was reissued, and there was no relief food.

The area affected by the disaster in the whole country is relatively large, and the people in the cities rely on the rural areas for food rations, and those who live in the cities and eat commercial grain can only starve if they do not receive food.

Therefore, a document was issued above, and the relief grain could not be taken care of in the countryside for the time being, and they were allowed to go into the mountains to hunt at will, and they were exempted from paying fifty percent of the public service.

Hunting more and hunting less all belong to the collective ownership of the villagers, after Jian Ning heard the news, he slapped the table and laughed, how could he not take advantage of such a good opportunity.

Hurry up and slip up the mountain to reserve grain.

The members of the club were all yellow-skinned and thin, with a dish-faced face, Wang Anqing felt really uncomfortable when he saw it, Jian Ning was slightly agitated, and Wang Anqing adopted her opinion without hesitation.

If you don't borrow a shotgun or a militia, you can make your own bow and slingshot in our village and go up the mountain to him for seven days and eight nights.

Jian Ning had already helped Wang Anqing plan, and when he came back from hunting, tens of thousands of catties of meat would be distributed, and the leftovers would be distributed to the villagers for tooth sacrifices, and the rest would be stored dry and dry.

If it doesn't rain yet, the next target is the swamp.

Speaking of which, Jian Ning felt slightly melancholy, originally she classified the Black Mountain Ridge as private property......

However, when you come to a natural disaster, that little selfishness is shattered.

It's not that she's selfless.

It's still the same sentence, it can't be that the whole village is so hungry that the waistband of their pants collapses to the kneecaps, all of them are yellow and thin, and their bodies are weak, but their family is fat and strong.

Under the nest, there are eggs.

Unless the whole family moves to live alone in the deep mountains and old forests, but since she has a solution in mind, why bother to move the family away.

People are social and social animals, not forced to live alone.
