Chapter 416: Not enough water

This matter is not without benefits, after such a trouble, others will be embarrassed to carry water from the weir pond with Lin Jiati again.

I thought it was all from the same village, although it was also a rule, and only your own things could be used by your own family, but everyone mentioned it, so it's hard not for you to agree, right? Now no one mentions this stubble, but it is much more convenient.

Even if there is a weir pond, there is a lot of water there, and God has never rained, so he relies on the water in this weir pond to water the fields of about 20 acres, how can it?

The Lin family is still good, and now there is still a lot of water in the weir pond, and the big weir pond below is almost to the end.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and God doesn't mean to rain at all, and the ancestral hall is sacrificed again, but it's still useless.

This season, many people have empty soil and don't grow much, so they just have to worry about the fields.

And the Lin family has to worry about everything, there are more than a dozen acres of new crops, although those things are said to be drought-resistant, but they don't need water, and the sun has been basking for so long, and it is not very good.

Siqi proposed to pick up water from the weir pond to water the ground, and Lin Dezheng was distressed again, "Our fields are also very dry, if it doesn't rain all the time, there will be more than a month to harvest the grain, and the water is not enough for the fields." ”

Siqi said, "Grandpa, we planted those things with a lot of determination before, and now they are about to die, how can we not water them?" If they all die, all the hard work they put in will be in vain. ”

Lin Dezheng said, "But we can't ignore the fields, this rice is the lifeblood of the people, every household takes rice as the right, can our family really have a way out of tossing these things?" ”

Siqi knew that it would not be clear to him at this time, in fact, these drought-tolerant crops did not need so much water, and if the water from the weir pond was used for supply, the harvest would not be too affected in the future.

However, even if all the water is put into the fields, this year's rice yield will be affected, and the trade-off is of course to maximize the benefits.

She doesn't blame Lin Dezheng, this is an old man, she has never seen these new things, and it is normal to have concerns.

But she had finally come to this point, and she couldn't give up easily, and for now, the drought was certain, so these things would be of greater use.

Corn is the life of the common people, regardless of rice and other care, this is indeed not a decision that ordinary people can make, but in such an extraordinary period, it is necessary to corn and sweet potatoes to save lives!

Siqi really can't help it, she knows that Lin Dezheng is not easy to be moved, he is the head of the Lin family, in charge of the livelihood of such a large family, although there is some silver in the family now, but if there is really a drought, even if there is silver, it is not easy to buy food, as the head of the family, he must consider the rations of the family.

She lowered her head, bit her lip, and then the tears fell like broken threads, and then raised her head again, and everyone was stunned.

Lin Dezheng was a little soft-hearted, and hurriedly said, "Son, what are you doing here?" Don't cry. ”

Siqi said with tears in his eyes, "Grandpa, I beg you, I really know that these things are good things, they can save the lives of my family, and I won't harm everyone." ”

"Even if we plant rice well this year, we will definitely not have a good harvest, in this case, we should be ruthless and take care of other crops, and now at this time, we should take the risk of focusing on other crops."

Lin Dezheng didn't know what to say, he definitely didn't want to nod, but seeing Siqi crying like this, he was very uncomfortable.

Siqi simply knelt in front of him, "Grandpa, believe me, I really know that those things are good things, so that we won't go hungry." ”

She can't help it, if she can be reasonable, who wants to kneel? Although this is his elder, it is really useless to solve the problem like this, hey.

Lin De was looking at her and said, "Son, you have always grown up in the country, and you have never seen these things, how do you know that you can grow well?" ”

"I just know, I was told, I ......"

When Lin Changyuan heard this, he was afraid that he would be in a hurry, and he told him about his dream of seeing an old woman, although they were all family members, but he was also worried.

He hurriedly took over the conversation, "Dad, when I went back to the county seat, I met a few businessmen passing by, and they talked for a while on the side of the road, and I guess I knew it at that time." ”

Siqi nodded, "Yes, they are doing business in the south, just talking about these, they all said that this thing grows very well, but we don't grow it here, grandpa, after we plant it, everyone will follow suit, so that you won't be afraid of starvation." ”

Lin Dezheng is still half-convinced, and he can't believe all the things he hearsay, but Siqi is right about one point, even if all the water in the weir pond is taken to water the ground, the rice in the field will be affected, and this year's output will definitely not be as high as in previous years.

Seeing that he was still a little hesitant, Lin Changyuan said on the side, "Dad, what his son said also makes sense, let's work hard to plant those crops, we can't leave it alone now, right?" Otherwise, the water in the weir pond will be used to water the ground first, and the fields have been watered almost in the past few days, and if there is a shortage of water, I will work harder and carry a bucket to the river to fetch water. ”

Lin Changyuan trusts his daughter no matter what, even if he doesn't know about the old woman in her dream, seeing her daughter so sad, he will definitely help her.

Siqi was very moved, listening that he was going to the river on the other side of the mountain to fetch water, and felt that he was a little willful in his speech, so far, he only picked up two buckets of water after a trip, and he fell into the field and immediately disappeared, and he couldn't even fill a hole.

Lin Dezheng hesitated very much, and felt that what his granddaughter said made sense, and felt that he should not be so reckless, if this delayed the family's meal, what should happen then?

"Okay, just listen to it, I think about it, anyway, the crops in the field will definitely reduce the yield, it's better to gamble, the third daughter-in-law is in the county, she has always been a clever person, looking at this year's bad year, the price of food has begun to rise, and it is estimated that in the county seat will also help buy some and put it there."

As soon as he said Lin Changyuan, he remembered it, and quickly nodded, "Yes, when I came back before, Zijun and his mother said that if it doesn't rain, then you have to buy some food, and she also said that the county town is better to buy, and she has to go out to see it when she is free, and my father didn't say that I forgot it." ”

Lin Dezheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, since the third daughter-in-law is thinking about this, it will definitely be done, our family still has some silver, it's okay to buy some food and put it there, it's not good to be hungry." ”

Since there is already a way back, Lin Dezheng also responded to his intention and picked up the water in the weir pond to water the ground.
