Chapter 527: Sudden Drought (1/3)
This year's climate has been drier
There have only been two heavy rains since the beginning of spring,
Recently, the hot weather for half a month has caused the land on the mountains to dry up and crack.
This is not to affect the fruit harvest, and the villagers have been busy watering the fruit trees in the orchard for the past two days.
Hearing the villagers talk about this, Zhang's mother was also worried, so she instructed her son:
"Xiaofeng, I heard that the fruit trees in the orchard are short of water, you go and see if there is water in the pool?
"Knowing Mom!!, don't worry, I'll leave the watering to me!!" In fact, without his mother's instructions, Zhang Feng was also ready to bring a bucket into the mountain to water the fruit trees.
Zhang Feng's orchard is halfway up Yangjia Mountain, and the peach and plum fruit trees planted in a few years are about ten acres, and now, the fruit trees on the mountain have gradually senesced, and it is estimated that they will all die in two years, so Zhang Feng is ready to plant other fruits this winter, such as cherries or something!!
Cherry trees have been planted on the flat ground at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Feng took a look, and the green leaves have grown, and after the cultivation of auxin, they have now grown very tall, reaching about one meter and a half.
"Xiaofeng is here?" Seeing Zhang Feng coming to the orchard, the second uncle shouted loudly.
The land of the two families is next to each other, and the loud speech can be heard at all, and at this time, the second uncle and aunt, as well as Zhang Yi, are busy in the orchard, carrying water to water the fruit trees.
"Hey, second uncle and aunt, are you watering?" Zhang Feng smiled, and walked towards the big pool in the orchard with a bucket.
The orchards in the village have pools every one or two hundred meters, but unfortunately the project money is exploited by the upper layers, so these pools are completely tofu slag projects, and they have cracked after only two years.
Now everything can still be used, but it is still the second uncle's own money to buy materials and repair and repair, which can barely be used, otherwise this pool will not be able to be counted on at all.
"Yes, if you don't water it, don't even think about selling this year's fruits at a high price!" Seeing the fruit trees in the orchard, listless, the second uncle shook his head and couldn't help sighing.
I didn't expect this year's bad luck to encounter a drought when the fruit trees were hanging fruit, and there has been no rain for half a month, these days the sky is clear, the sun is scorching, the earth is cracked, and the water stored in the ground has long been evaporated.
Therefore, if you don't replenish the water of the fruit trees, this year's fruit will not be expected to have a good harvest, or it is very likely that the harvest will not be lost.
Everyone didn't have time to talk much, they were all busy diving to replenish water to the fruit trees.
"Alas, it's a pity that there is no electricity here, otherwise you would just use a pump. Zhang Feng shook his head helplessly.
Well, let's be honest and carry water!!
There are about seventy or eighty pounds of water in one pick, if it was in the past, Zhang Feng estimated that his legs would tremble when he picked two or three times, but now Zhang Feng's physical fitness is super terrifying, he is simply a super strong man.
Don't say seventy or eighty pounds, it's one hundred and seventy-eight, two hundred and seventy-eight, Zhang Feng doesn't feel the slightest pressure.
Therefore, Zhang Feng's watering speed is fast, and the progress of one person is actually faster than the speed of the second uncle's family of three, seeing Zhang Feng carrying a full handful of water, as if carrying an empty bucket, walking fast, the second uncle and the three of them are amazed.
"Xiao Feng's strength is really too great!!"
"yes, what a good worker!!"
Zhang Yi also looked at his eldest brother with envy, thinking in his heart, it would be good if he had so much strength!!
No matter what you do, as long as you put in it, time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it was ten o'clock in the morning, and after more than three hours of hard work, Zhang Feng finally watered all the fruit trees in the orchard.
"Ah, it's finally done, how many do you have left, second uncle??" Zhang Feng sat on the edge of the pool and asked the second uncle with a smile.
"You kid is really fast, I still have two or three acres in my house, and it is estimated that it will take two hours to finish watering!!"
The second uncle shook his head with a wry smile, thinking that his nephew was really too demonic, and the speed of his family of three was not as fast as him, which was really helpless.
"Then I'll pour it with you, finish watering it early and go back early, otherwise it will be even hotter later!!" At this time, the temperature is not low, it is estimated to be twenty-seven or eight degrees, and if it is noon, it will definitely exceed thirty degrees.
"Haha, thank you Xiaofeng. "The second uncle didn't say anything polite to Zhang Feng, with Zhang Feng's help, it is estimated that everyone will be able to finish the work in an hour, otherwise they will have to work until noon.
The noon sun is extremely scorching, and working under the scorching sun has to take off three layers of skin.
"Ah, big brother, it will be much faster with your help!!" Zhang Yi was already too tired to speak, but when he saw Zhang Feng coming to help, he was overjoyed and shouted excitedly.
"Xiaoyi, if you're tired, rest for a while, there's not much left, I'll be able to do it in a while!!"
Although Zhang Yi was a little moved, seeing that everyone was busy, he finally shook his head, gritted his teeth and continued to persevere.
Zhang Feng smiled and didn't persuade again, because farmers are like this, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, and they have harder days than this.
looked at the scorching sun in the sky, and he was so hot that he couldn't wait to roast the whole earth, so Zhang Feng sped up again, and finally used his real skills,
Carrying the water in both hands, the feet are like the wind, and with a slight touch, the body is as light as a swallow, and it shuttles quickly in the orchard.
This is too terrifying, it's just like a martial arts master who has cultivated light skills, one step is a few meters away, and the mountains and rocks and ravines added down can't stop Zhang Feng's footsteps at all.
Seeing Zhang Feng so fierce, Zhang Yi was stunned in horror, his mouth opened wide, and he didn't react for a long time.
"Big brother, you...... Have you cultivated martial arts cheats???" After a long while, Zhang Yi reacted and asked Zhang Feng excitedly.
"Yes, don't you see that I'm practicing every day?" Zhang Feng said with a smile.
"Ah, those you practice every day are martial arts??"
Zhang Yi was a little unconvinced, because he had seen it many times when Zhang Feng was practicing gymnastics, and it didn't look like anything unique, just like ordinary yoga.
Shaking his head, Zhang Yi still didn't believe it.
"Nonsense, I'm building gymnastics, regular practice can not only exercise the body, but also enhance physical fitness, do you see if my mother's complexion is much better than before?" Zhang Feng rolled his eyes.
"Xiao Feng, is that thing you practice every day really useful?" Hearing the conversation between the two, the second aunt couldn't help but ask.
The second aunt knows very well about her sister-in-law's situation, a year ago, the sister-in-law was like a woman with gray hair and wrinkles on her face, like a sixty or seventy-year-old lady.
But now, she looks like a middle-aged woman in her forties and fifties, suddenly in her twenties, and she thought that because the family environment had changed better and she was in a happy mood, her sister-in-law had changed so much.
But now it doesn't seem to be entirely because of that.
