At this time, corn and sweet potatoes all need water, the weather is dry, there is no precipitation, and now the ground has cracked.

At this time, you can't go to the ground to water under the sun, only in the morning and evening, otherwise the water will be washed away by the heat, and it will be easy to die of heat.

In the past few days, the men of the Lin family have all gotten up very early, carried buckets to the weir pond to carry water to water the ground, and watered their more than ten acres of new crops.

The neighbors around knew that they had gotten up early to carry water, and some people secretly followed behind, afraid that they would water from the big weir pond.

Everyone in the village knows that the Lin family is now carrying water to water the ground, completely ignoring the crops in their own fields, and everyone is saying that they are crazy behind their backs.

Siqi followed behind every day to work, and the adults of the Lin family listened to her, and everyone naturally saw it, and they knew that these were her ideas.

The little girl of the Lin family is indeed smart, this is true, many people know it, but they don't think that in the face of such a big event, a little girl in her early ten years old can do anything.

Someone else said behind his back, "I think the old uncle of the Lin family is confused, and he actually handed over this kind of big matter to a child to be the master, look at their family, what are they doing now?" The rice in my field is about to die, so I pick up all the water to water the ground, what does this mean? Don't want the crops in the field anymore? ”

"If you really don't want it, it's better to give the water to everyone, their family is fast, the weir pond to buy, now not allow others to use the water in the weir pond, this is really too much, if I knew, maybe I also put together the silver, the weir pond to buy, their own weir pond what's bad, you can also raise fish in it, their family sells fish for a lot of money."

When others listened to these words, they naturally had to echo a few words, "Blame us for not thinking so long-term, tell me why they think so far, they quietly bought the weir pond at the beginning, we only have envy, what else can we do?" People can hold the title deed of the yamen. ”

Watered the water in the field, watching those crops grow well, everyone was relieved, and the fields had to be taken care of, Lin Changyuan would carry a bucket to the river to fetch water as long as he was free, and every time he took the largest bucket.

The weather is so hot, the water is evaporating quickly, and there is no water in the villages, so many people go to the river to fetch water, so the water level in that small river is also dropping, and the situation is not optimistic.

There are so many people in the village, and every household rushes to fetch water to water the ground, for fear that their crops will not grow well.

There is still some water in the Lin family's weir pond, but there are still fish, and now those fish are living in shallow water.

Lin Changgui also told Cuixianlou that if they want more fish every day, they can also send more, if they keep it at home, it doesn't rain all the time, and the water in the weir pond will be dry, and all these fish won't be able to live at that time, so it's better to sell them now.

Now is the time when the rice is growing vigorously, and the threshing can begin in late July, when there must be no shortage of water.

After the villagers drained the water in the weir pond, they had to go to the river to fetch water, so the river soon ran out of water.

Siqi had been in the village all along, but she guessed that this time the drought should have been widespread, otherwise the river should not have dried up so quickly.

There is no water elsewhere, and this place is constantly carrying water, so the water level will drop rapidly.

There was not much water left in their weir pond, but fortunately they had watered all the crops in the soil, otherwise they would have died long ago.

There are still some fish in the weir pond, and now I don't dare to continue to carry water outside, if it doesn't rain all the time, the water will dry up sooner or later, but I can stay for one more day.

I also have some ducks at home, and I used to be able to play in the puddle at the door of my house, but now I can only do it dry, the sun is shining, and I don't even dare to go out of the door, and it's pitiful to look at.

These ducks have to be fed and eaten, so the Wu family made the decision, took all the ducks to the market and sold them, and killed two of them to eat, so it was also worry-free.

In late June, the batch of potatoes planted early can be dug up, and the Lin family takes a basket to dig potatoes in the ground, which has nearly an acre of land, and if you go to a few more people, you will not be able to dig it in half a day.

This piece of soil is in the village, and there are many people working around, and when they see them carrying baskets, many people are curious to come around to look at it.

Everyone has been discussing what kind of things are planted in the Lin family's field, and finally saw them digging it, of course, they have to see the excitement.

The soil is already very dry, and the hoe has to dig some hard to dig the soil, which has to dig deeper, otherwise the potatoes will be dug up, and a large piece of soil will be dug up directly, and then the soil will be knocked off little by little with a nail rake, and the potatoes wrapped in it will be plucked.

A few big men in the family have more strength, so they dig in front, and Wu takes the children to pick up potatoes in the back, this work is quite tiring after a long time, and the back is sore, so he also brought a small bench and sat in the soil to pick it up.

One person put a basket in front of him, picked up the potatoes and threw them into the basket, to Siqi's delight was that the soil in their village was quite suitable for growing potatoes, although these potatoes were a little short of water, but they were still not small, and they bore a lot.

After picking up a basket that was not far away, it was already full, and then they brought another basket, and they picked a total of ten baskets and brought them to the ground, and it was not long before they were full of six.

Wu shouted, "Third brother, you lose your hands for a while, and pick these back first, otherwise we won't be able to put them down here." ”

Lin Changyuan nodded, put the hoe aside, and came over with a flat pole to pick it up.

There was a bustle around, and a woman smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, what kind of good thing is this, I don't know what this kind of thing is in your house, and I thought it was going to bear fruit, who knew that it was buried in the ground, and there were young and old hidden under this one, can this thing be eaten?" ”

Wu Shi smiled, "You can eat it, of course you can eat it, you can't eat it, what do you do with that effort?" This year is not good, and we all have to save some food rations at home. ”

There was another woman, who had thicker skin, and said with a smile, "Aunt Lin, we haven't seen this thing before, you have dug it up, why don't you give some to us to taste?" ”
