Chapter 117 Drought (Monthly Pass Plus Update)

"July 1st" is here in a blink of an eye, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, every time An Jiajia comes out of the dance studio, the whole person is sweaty as if he was fished out of the water. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Li Zhibing's work in the kitchen was even hotter, and his clothes had never dried.

An Jiajia had lunch, looked at the sky and sighed, Li Zhibing happened to come out to wipe his sweat, and when he saw her, he asked, "What's wrong?" ā€

"It's too hot, it's raining, it's unbearably hot."

"It's already raining in summer," Li Zhibing looked at the bright sun in the sky, and also felt hot.

"But if it doesn't rain, what will happen to the crops at home?" An Jiajia frowned, "It hasn't rained much since the New Year, I wrote home to ask them, and they all said that it was okay, they must be hiding it from me!" ā€

An Jiajia now feels that the chances of drought are too great, she doesn't know what to do, and if she continues like this, she is very worried about the food at home.

Without rain, the crops will not grow well, and the grain harvest will be affected when the time comes.

An Jiajia was anxious, and Li Zhibing was also anxious when he heard this.

"What then?" Although Li Zhibing has been away from home for more than three years, he is his own home, so of course he cares.

"How do I know, I wish it could rain soon."

"If it doesn't rain, we can fetch water to water it!"

"Yes, but it doesn't rain all the time, and the river will be less watery, and you won't be able to carry water if you want to."

"......" Li Zhibing was silent, he didn't understand this, there was no good way.

"It's useless for us to be in a hurry, I believe the state will help us!"

"Well, believe in the country and believe in the party!"

An Jiajia looked at the sun in the sky, there was almost no trace of clouds in the sky, and her heart was more uneasy.

Except for Li Zhibing, An Jiajia did not tell anyone else about her worries, and it was not credible for her to say these things as a child.

And she was worried that she would get into trouble for herself, and if someone found out that she had traveled through time, wouldn't she be treated as a ghost?

Like An Jiajia's worries, An Guodong was very worried because of the possible drought.

An Yingying and An Guodong go to fetch water every day, but the weather is too hot, and the water will evaporate quickly.

Don't water too much during the day, especially in rice fields, when the water is boiled, it will burn the rice stalks.

From the end of the year to the present, the number of times it has rained is only a handful, and every time that little rain is not enough to wet the land, every farmer's heart is on fire.

An Guodong looked at the cracked land, and his brows never relaxed, and now they can only keep the rice temporarily.

The crops in the field are basically dead, and as far as the eye can see, except for the rice fields that are almost ripe, the vegetables and fruits in the fields have long been gone.

"If it doesn't rain again, it will be a problem for us to eat," Liu Shiwen sighed.

"How much rice is left in the granary?"

"It's not much, it's just enough to eat the rice harvest."

"This year's rice harvest will definitely not be good, do we still have corn and sweet potatoes?" An Guodong asked.

"It's not much, starting tomorrow, let's eat coarse grain rice, save some food." Liu Shiwen also had a bad premonition in her heart.

An Yingyong and An Jiahe haven't eaten coarse grain rice for a long time, and they feel unaccustomed to eating while eating.

Now don't talk about meat, there are few vegetables to eat, and Liu Shiwen often goes to the mountains to pick wild vegetables.

But there are not many wild vegetables in the mountains, many of them have died, and the rest are also picked, and Liu Shiwen has not picked much.

Life began to get difficult, and An Guodong and Liu Shiwen were worried that the food loss would be too large, causing famine again.

An Jiajia's letters came frequently, but the family didn't dare to tell her these things, and they all said that it was okay.

She was alone in the army, and for the first time they felt that it was a good thing to send her there, at least she didn't have to suffer with her family.

The more they reported the good news and not the bad news, the more worried An Jiajia became, but it was inconvenient for her to go back in the army, so she could only be secretly anxious.

An Guodong and the others finally harvested the rice, but the result made their hearts sink, and the grain production was seriously reduced, almost half of that of last year.

What does this mean? After paying the public grain, the family can't open the pot!

This is the case not only of An Guodong's family, but also of Anjia Village, Yoshida Village, and other nearby villages.

The villagers reacted to the village chief and asked them to respond to the production brigade, hoping to pay a little less public grain.

The village commander comforted the people in the village and reported the situation to the production team.

"We understand this matter, but we can't be the master, so let's ask everyone to pay it or hand it over, and we will immediately react with the above, okay?"

"But everyone has no food to eat after handing it over, when will you have to apply?"

"We really can't decide this, we understand you, and you have to be considerate of my work."

The village chief told everyone the meaning of the production brigade, and although everyone was very angry, there was nothing they could do.

After all, this is a natural disaster, no one can think of it, I just hope that God will open his eyes and hurry up to make it rain!

An Guodong's family sat at home with a sad face, and went to hand over the public grain in the morning, and the grain that could go into the granary was more than half less than usual.

"We are suffering now, we will eat two meals a day, if we eat less, we will suffer!" An Guodong said in a deep voice.

"I'll cook the whole grains left over from the house with rice, and when I get through, my mother will make meat for you!"

Liu Shiwen was reluctant to kill the two hens in the family, and the hens could lay eggs every day.

An Jiahe is still studying, and Liu Shiwen boils an egg for her every day to make up for her body.

The field was dry, An Guodong took An Guodong and An Yingying to the river at night to carry water to irrigate the rice fields, and the soil in the fields was so hard that they almost broke the hoe.

Everyone did this, and the river was already shallow, and now it exposed all the sand.

The village chief immediately stopped them, "You can't carry water like this anymore, this is the river where we drink water!" ā€

The water in the river couldn't be picked, so An Guodong took An Yingying and Liu Shiwen to the mountains to find spring water.

There was no water from the spring water that used to be continuous all year round, and An Guodong's hair turned gray because of the drought.

"Let's just plant two acres of land for the time being," Ms. Liu said.

An Guodong nodded helplessly, he could only do this, at least plant a little, and every household planted almost half of the rice.

It's already September, but God doesn't mean it to rain at all.

An Jiajia was also anxious in the army, and every time she and Li Zhibing went out, they heard many people on the street saying that the harvest was not good.

The great drought in the fields, the reduction of grain production, the lack of food to eat, and so on kept coming out of everyone's mouths, and there were many fewer people selling vegetables in the market, because there were no vegetables to sell.

The dishes in the canteen also decreased, and An Jiajia and Li Zhibing could barely swallow it.
