Chapter 1062: Autumn Harvest
Aunt Liu was also stunned, "What, aren't they three dogs?" ”
Si Qi hurriedly said, "When we went back to sleep, there were only two puppies, why did this give birth to another one." ”
Aunt Liu smiled and said, "This is very normal, when my dog gave birth to cubs last year, he gave birth to a puppy every other day, this is not certain, we don't know how many in the belly, I think these three puppies are very good, they should be able to feed, give Want Want to eat some good, and make up for the body, so that the milk is enough." ”
Siqi squatted next to look at the puppies, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, Da Hei is a pure black dog, and Want Want is a yellow and gray color, but they gave birth to two dogs, both of which are black and white Dalmatians, which is also a little amazing, Si Qi has to wonder if Da Hei likes to be a father, and Want Want is pregnant with another dog's breed in his belly.
But Da Hei has always been very concerned about these puppies, and they are still guarding it at this time, it is so smart, it should not be mistaken, and Want Want has indeed never gone out, and there are no other dogs in the house to come in, who else can it be except Da Hei?
Siqi has also heard classmates say before that dogs seem to have atavistic phenomena and can give birth to various colors, so it's not uncommon to think about it.
After Wangwang gave birth to the puppy, he was much more docile, Siqi touched it, Aunt Liu changed the mat for it, it didn't resist at all, just licked the puppy in his arms vigorously, as if he suddenly became a mother and was much gentler.
I guess I also know that my family won't hurt them, so I'm so relieved, if there is a living person at this time, it shouldn't be like this.
Thinking about it, I feel more and more that being a mother is a wonderful thing, and from now on, there are other lives connected with you, what kind of experience is this?
It would be nice if she could have a child.
She looked at Want Want and the puppies, and she actually saw God.
Since having these puppies, Siqi's life is not boring, in addition to taking care of the business in the workshop, the other thing is to take care of these puppies.
Although she did not become a mother herself, with these puppies born by Wangwang, she also experienced the feeling of being a mother.
Taking care of these puppies, the time passed unconsciously, and it really didn't rain this year, until midsummer, the sun made the land ditch, and God still didn't rain.
If it weren't for digging so many ditches before, Lu County wouldn't be able to hold on to now, and the crops in the field would have to die before they grow, because with the water in the ditches, these crops would have been preserved, and the yield would definitely decline, but because Siqi had long seen that they were relatively arid here, the crops they planted were very drought-tolerant, and they would harvest a lot of things when they were harvested in the fall, which was much stronger than other places anyway.
Now everyone even has some problems with draft, and they have to go far away to pick it up, and the well water in their yard can no longer be raised.
If you lift water from it every day, you can't supply it at all, Yongqing and Zhengyuan have to run twice a day to fetch water in a reservoir far away, and the people nearby go there to fetch water, and the reservoir is not big, and it won't last long.
If it doesn't rain all the time, this year will be very sad, many places have begun to drill wells to get water, I heard that you have to drill more than ten meters deep to get water, this day, it is really not people's life.
But this is better than when the drought was severe before, at least they can get water, I heard Aunt Liu and Aunt Zhou say that when they were young, there was a big drought in one year, and they really couldn't pick up water when they were old, and many people were really thirsty to death.
Tiankuo is in a hurry, but he can't use his strength, what can God do if it doesn't rain? He has already sent a letter to the imperial court, ready to ask the imperial court to allocate money and food to help the victims.
Another concern is that the trade in the workshop may also be affected, because there is not so much water, so the people who have a lot of sheep at home also dispose of some of the sheep, so that the wool in the next two seasons will be greatly reduced, and the raw materials in the workshop will be less, and the shipments will be less.
Siqi also sent a letter to Jiang Erye, telling him about the situation here, if he signed a contract with someone else, he would have to find a way to stock up on the goods at this time, otherwise he would be in big trouble.
However, this matter is relatively small compared to the local situation in Lu County, and you just need to prepare in advance.
This summer is really unbearable, the temperature is higher than before, the air is drier than before, the fields are dry, the crops look wilted, they need to be watered, but where can they get water? The little that I tried to get out could only be used by people.
This year, because of this dry year, even the Mid-Autumn Festival has not been well, and we have been taking care of the crops in the field, so I want to mature as soon as possible, and I can take it back home, so as to see how the harvest is.
This year is also a challenge for the yamen, but last year was good, after the crops were harvested, the villages reported truthfully, and the yamen distributed them, and each household got their fair share.
This year is different, this person is selfish, the year is not good, the crops in the field are less, who doesn't want to keep a little more in their own hands? In the process of distributing crops, I am afraid that there will be problems, and there may be those who are not convinced, and feel that they have taken less and are unfair, so that there will be big problems.
Originally, this new crop was a good thing, but if it caused a big mess because of this drought year, Tiankuo would not have been rewarded by the imperial court, but punished, and this kind of thing would have been beyond their control.
Seeing that the crops in the field were about to be harvested, Tiankuo also made all the officials of the yamen cheer up and went to each village to help the people harvest the crops.
This year, unlike last year, the crops were taken back to the house, and then reported by the village, but by the officials who went to the village to help, and then the yamen quickly made a distribution and exchanged the grain, which must be done as soon as possible, otherwise it will be easy to make trouble.
After more than half a month of busy work, I finally finished this matter, fortunately, there was no major problem, only a few places made a little noise, but in the end there was no fight, this matter passed smoothly, Tiankuo and Siqi both breathed a long sigh of relief.
