Chapter 135: Ask Me to Deliver Food
The seedlings were planted, but it was not a beautiful day, and it had never rained since the heavy rain.
No, more than half a month has passed, and the water in the fields is almost dry, and there is not a drop of rain.
Because it doesn't rain, the water of the river becomes invaluable to the farmers.
Almost all of them will go to the paddy fields to divert water from the river to the paddy fields in order to prevent their seedlings from being sunburned.
But this is a very tiring job, although the ditch has already been dug by the tenants, and the water can be diverted directly, but this season is very scarce.
Therefore, people usually go to the paddy fields to release water so as not to be cut off by others.
Even working during the day, going to the paddy fields at night to keep watch all night, people with conditions will build a thatched hut near the paddy field, so that they can rest when they usually work or release water, and sometimes they will cook and boil water inside.
And Zhang Laohan's house is more miserable, and the thatched house is not repaired, also because it is far away, and it will be used every year in this season, so it is not repaired.
In this case, everything can only be according to the will of God, if it is not raining on the way, then you can rest on the lawn for a while, if it rains heavily, then you can go home and sleep, the most annoying is the drizzle, you can't sleep, if you go home, but this little rain can not fill the paddy field.
That day, Wan Vieng went to the paddy field to release water as usual, but when he arrived in the paddy field, he was dumbfounded.
In the past few days, the seedlings have been completely depleted, and the paddy fields have leaked out of the soil, and even cracked, so how long has it been since there has been no running water flowing into their fields.
The first reaction was to check to see if there was a leak in my paddy field, but I didn't find anything, and then I thought that it must have been intercepted by someone halfway.
I turned around and went to the ditch, and walked all the way along the ditch, but there was still no water for most of the day, and it seemed that the water flow was cut off from the source.
After walking another one or two hundred meters, I saw a young man who was slightly older than himself blocking the ditch with a hoe.
Wan Rong leaned up, "I said brother, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to do this, right?"
The man looked up sharply and said, "Oh, I don't want to do this either, it's just that my paddy field is running out of water, and it's over if I don't release water." ”
But whose paddy fields have water, except for the few houses near the water source and the places where the ditches pass, the others are almost the same.
Wan Vieng didn't fight with that person to avoid conflict, but even if that person intercepted the water, the current was not big, and there must be someone in front of him.
So Wan Rong smiled and said to the man: "Okay, okay, let you let it go first, it's not too late for me to release it when it's almost over." ”
This is just Wan Vieng's delaying tactic, but that person is not stupid, Wan Vieng is still there after leaving, and he will not leave for a long time, for fear that Wan Vieng will immediately turn back and release water after he leaves.
At that time, people were like this, they didn't have any reasonable plans, they were rushing to release the water, and many times they would fight for it, and sometimes they would even fight.
It's better if three or two families who don't know each other go to release water together, so at least they won't be bullied.
There used to be a rumor that the two families fought for the right to release water, and these two people were not from the same village, which later caused a big war between the two villages, and finally both lost and lost, so it has only been reined in a little in recent years.
But this ditch from the beginning to the end of the mileage of nearly two kilometers, all the way there are people intercepting the flow, and also have to pass through other people's paddy fields, if you want to bring a large amount of water to your own field, the premise is to first fill other people's paddy fields, how long will it take to complete?
Wan Rong looked at other people's paddy fields with envy, if this paddy field was his own, how good it would be, there was no need to worry so much, at least others would leave some water in their own fields.
In fact, some families do not care about the paddy fields wherever they go, and will directly dig ditches in the paddy fields and direct the flow to their own fields, people are all interested and selfish, but it is immoral to do so.
Vang Vieng arrived at the source and expanded the aqueduct at the source a lot, and the water flow at the inlet was not very large, but now it is enough to fill the ditch.
He followed wherever the water flowed, for fear that there would be a leak or be intercepted by someone else.
Because it is far away, and it is daytime, the flow has been cut off for a few days before, and the ditch is a little dry, so the water flow is very slow, and a large part of it will be sucked into the soil, and it will be afternoon when it is drained into his paddy field.
But looking at the flowing water as thin as teardrops, when will it fill the paddy fields, if you guess correctly, someone must have intercepted the flow again.
It seems that this is unlikely to go home for dinner, he must stay up all night to release water, and he has to keep patrolling, otherwise he will not be able to eat white rice next year.
So Wan Rong found the villagers in the same village and asked him to convey it to Xiao Mu to bring him food the next day, and bring a pack of cigarettes by the way.
The people in the same village are still relatively kind, and they truthfully conveyed it to Xiao Mu.
That is, because Wan Rong, who is in the same village, will trust, because at that time, there were often conflicts between the villagers and the villages, and only the villagers in their own villages could be called brothers.
The next day, the old man got up early in the morning and prepared breakfast.
I beat a bowl of hot rice in a porcelain jar, grabbed a handful of pickled vegetables, then fried some bacon, sealed it tightly with a newspaper, and then tied it tightly with a plastic bag, and asked Xiao Mu to send it to Wanrong.
But Xiao Mu was a little timid, and when he thought of the big dog passing by the village, the whole person trembled.
He stared at the old man helplessly and said, "Grandma, I'm afraid of being bitten by a dog, can you go with me?"
The old man comforted and said: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, you take a big stick, as long as it bites you, you will smoke it, and it won't dare to bite you." ”
"Also, I can't go with you, why should I go with you and ask you to send it? I have something else to do, go quickly. ”
Xiao Mu was still a little afraid, but he didn't think much about Wan Rong still starving in the field, and besides, he didn't dare to refute the old man now.
Before leaving, the old man repeatedly told Xiao Mu that he must pay attention to safety and deliver the food to Wan Rong.
came to the door of Guo Yang's house and walked in directly, only Guo Yang was at home.
Guo Yang saw that Xiao Mu was coming, so he said excitedly: "Xiao Mu, what are you mentioning, where are you going so early?"
Xiao Mu was a little lost, "Hey, send food to my uncle, I didn't go home for dinner yesterday afternoon, hurry up, go get me a pack of cigarettes." ”
Guo Yang swished, rushed back to the store, and took Xiao Mu a cigarette and change.
Xiao Mu asked, "Are your parents not at home, do you want to consider going with me?"
Guo Yang had some intention of going, but no, if Principal Guo came back and saw that Guo Yang was not at home, he would have to be scolded to death, so Guo Yang still rejected Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu stimulated Guo Yang and said, "Cut, I don't dare to go here, I'm so timid." ”
Actually, it's just a joke, but I don't dare to change it.
