Chapter 196: Rainy Season

In the past few days, the first rain since the beginning of spring has ushered in, I didn't expect it to be endless, and then it goes down like this, Yu Shu is really afraid that the fish in the field will run away, so I came out first to see the situation, this ridge is definitely going to be heightened, and I came out to see that the field that was already filled with water was about to reach the ridge.

"No, let's be careful, go down and dig out all the mud in the field, and put it directly on the ridge to raise it." Yu Shu looked at the situation and knew that if the rain didn't stop today, it wouldn't be a flood at night.

Everyone immediately pulled up their trouser legs and went down to the field directly with their hands to pull the soil, this family has a lot of people who are responsible for an acre of land can be added soon, like Xu's family, who is short of labor, only tenant three points of the field to plant, and now in this situation Xu has to call Ah Wei to help.

For the little friend The situation is urgent, Xiaobao and Xiaohu are also obliged to put down their books and go to the ground, Yu Shu saw that the rain might not stop in this situation, and thought that Lao Song was a widower without family loneliness and did not give tenants, just like calling Lao Song and two same widowers.

"That's the case, you have also seen it, it rained heavily today and our farmland is probably going to collapse if it is not heightened, you all have no family and no rented farmland, I will give you fifty yuan a day, and you will also go down to help everyone do the heightening, okay?"

Yu Shu mainly wanted Lao Song to help the Xu family, but it couldn't be too obvious, so he could only do so, there were four old widowers with no children and no daughters in the village, Lao Song, dysentery, stone, and mountain root, of course, there were originally five widowers, but Pei Qinglin is now out of widowhood when he marries Yu Shu.

When a few people heard that there was money to collect, they immediately nodded and went down to the field to do things, and Lao Song naturally came to Xu's farmland to help.

Seeing this, Ah Wei quietly approached Lao Song and asked him how the wound was healing?

The old Song in the robes grinned and said that he was okay and didn't have to worry, the work in his hands did not stop, and soon with the help of everyone, the Xu family's three fields had been heightened, and the Xu family asked the children to go back first, and he once again went in to help everyone increase the ridges.

Yu Shu and Pei Qinglin stood on the shore and watched the busy farmers, and the other three widowers had also consciously joined in.

"Pei Qingrin, this rain is falling endlessly, do you think it will flood the rain now, and there will be no water in the hot weather in the future?" Yu Shu also lives in the south in modern life.

She knows that there is a lot of rain in the south, and she is afraid that it is the same in ancient times, and she can't just blindly increase the height and height, so if the rainy season here is also like the previous south, Yu Shu must consider digging a pond to store water.

Pei Qinglin looked at Yu Shu in surprise, why shouldn't this woman know everything, but she shouldn't understand everything? As the daughter of the original villagers of Stone Village, how could she not know the fact that once the rainy season starts, it will not end so quickly?

Yu Shu's scalp was numb when she was watched, and she seemed to have said the wrong thing, what should I do? How to round back?

"No, I haven't been suppressed before, I don't know what's going on in the outside world, so I don't know about it, I told you that I have a double personality." Yu Shu can only use a double personality to see if he can dispel his suspicions. Pei Qingrin looked at Yu Shu meaningfully without saying anything, this... That's a far-fetched statement.

There is something strange about Yu Shu, which Pei Qinglin has discovered a long time ago, but there is still no solution.

"We have a lot of rain in the spring, often in the middle of the day, the sun is very little, and the house is also wet and damp and the resurgence is obvious, which you can also see." Pei Qinglin said.

The ancients were ten days a week, and Yu Shu thought to herself that it was the same as the southern city where she used to be, and every spring in the south was like this.

Now that he knows that once the rainy season starts, he can't stop, Yu Shu has further thoughts in his heart, but he has to discuss it with Pei Qingrin, Yu Shu pointed to the field in front of him and said:

"Pei Qingrin, it's not okay to rain like this all the time, we have to find a way, instead of the rain flooding everywhere, we should dig a pond to store water, and when the drought happens, we can release water out for irrigation." In fact, the Yushu people wanted to make a reservoir, but there was no such word in ancient times, so it was said to be a pond.

This proposal was strongly supported by Pei Qinglin, and the composer prevented the village chief from meeting with several clan elders to discuss the issue, Pei Qinglin thought that several large ponds could be dug near the village fields, but now that it has been raining, the project may be very hard, in order to solve the flood problem, the village chief and several clan elders agreed to the pond plan.

Yu Shu said that this pond should be dug bigger and deeper, and when the time comes, it can be used as a movable gate, and the water can be collected and released at will for farmers to use. This is the simple principle that Yu Shu told him about the reservoir.

This idea made the eyes of the village chief and several clan elders shine, such a pond is really good, and after a few people have decided, the village chief decided to convene a meeting of the villagers.

Pei Qinglin helped a few clan elders to let them out of the house safely, and then the family helped them back to their homes, and now the tide is back to the weather, even the tables and chairs are wet, I am afraid that the old people will accidentally fall.

Now that almost everyone is in the fields, the village chief can only take advantage of lunch time to ring the ancestral hall's bell, which is a bell made of bronze that makes a distinctively low sound.

"Hum..."Except for a major event in the village, the village chief can open the ancestral hall to knock, and it is absolutely not allowed to ring the bell at ordinary times, and everyone knows that there is a big event to go to the ancestral hall to gather when they hear the bell.

It was raining so hard outside, and the bell fell into the ears of every villager through the rain, and today they were already tired, but when the bell rang, they were all there.

"Village Chief, what's going on? It's rare to ring the chime, is there something going on in the village? The villagers came to the ancestral hall and began to discuss.

At this time, the village chief and Pei Qinglin came out from behind to let everyone be quiet, and said:

"That's right, every household in our village has a fish farm, and now when the rainy season comes, it's just to raise the ridges, which is a palliative but not a cure, so Pei Qinglin and they came up with the idea of digging a pond, which can store water in the rainy season and release water for irrigation in the dry season." The village chief's words made everyone fall into deep thought.

Every year during the rainy season, water accumulates in the low-lying areas of the village, and it would be nice to have a pond where you can hold the excess water and take it when you need it during the dry season.

"It's a public affair in the village, so we won't give everyone money, but lunch can be provided by my family, so I have to ask my sisters-in-law and aunts to come over and help cook." Pei Qinglin is simple.
