Now that it is getting hotter and hotter every day, the water level of the river has dropped significantly, and the water in the fields has dried up.

Some families were lucky that the weather might not be dry, and they still planted straw.

Now I am worried.

If we continue like this, the rice will surely die.

The water in the river was not enough to water the fields, so they began to think about the big pond.

He Xiangxi was afraid of someone's idea of a big pond, so he let his big house and two rooms take turns guarding every day.

On the morning of this day, several families in the village quarreled with the He family in the big pond.

"Why don't you let us carry water! At the beginning, there were people in our family! ”

"So much water, how about we pick some?"

"Yes."

"The straw in the field is dying if you don't water it."

He knew that a big man couldn't win over these women, so he tried to reason, "The water in this big pond is used in the village to cook rice on weekdays, not to water the fields. ”

Someone in the lively crowd spoke up, "That is, my vegetable patch is dry and cracked, and there is no watering, everyone has seen this year, there is going to be a drought, and everyone has stored rice at home, so don't do stupid things at this juncture." ”

"Yes, everyone endures, not just a few of you."

"Is it possible that my family's two acres of rice fields will die of drought? What are we going to eat next year, it's damning. The woman sat on the ground and wept aloud.

It's not a taste for everyone to look at, the weather is going to be dry, and they can't do anything.

……

When Su Jin heard this, Liu frowned, and there was no way to go on like this.

Pushed people into a corner, and can do anything.

They refused to grow wheat, because rice was worth more than wheat.

Su Jin held her cheeks and pondered if she paid to rent the land in the village to grow wheat......

Two quarters of an hour later

He family

He Xiangxi is also worried about this matter, everyone lives by farming, and if the rice dies, I am afraid it will also cost people's lives.

But this fit cannot be touched by water.

When Su Jin and Qi Yunqing came, they saw him frowning.

The two said, "Grandpa He." ”

He Xiangxi didn't come back to his senses at first, it was Mrs. He who pushed it, and he saw the two of them, and hurriedly pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Yunqing, Yunqing's daughter-in-law, sit down." ”

Qi Yunqing helped Su Jin sit down, and then sat next to her.

Su Jin said what he was thinking about, "Grandpa He, can you help me gather the people in the village, I have something to say." ”

Later, He Xiangxi's eyes lit up, and then it darkened again, "Girl, I'm afraid that this matter will cost a lot of money, and it will be a loss." ”

"Grandpa He, Yunqing and I actually have some money in our hands, but for some reason, we hid it from Grandpa He." Su Jin was a little apologetic.

When He Xiangxi thought of the Da Qi family, he suddenly realized, "You bought Xishan?" ”

Su Jin nodded.

He Xiangxi didn't ask much, "You still keep this matter a secret, and Grandpa won't say it." ”

No wonder, when the mountain fell on Xiao Qi's family, he was still thinking about which owner would be so relieved.

Then he said: "You should think about renting the land again, you will lose money." ”

He wants the people in the village to be good, but he can't let Xiao Qi's family be the wronged leader.

Su Jin smiled and shook his head, "Grandpa He, we don't want to make money, on weekdays, the people in the village help the Xiao Qi family more, and the Xiao Qi family will naturally help the people in the village under the premise of having the ability." ”

As soon as the words came into his ears, He Xiangxi's old face was panicked, the village really didn't help the Xiao Qi family much, but the Xiao Qi family has always been thinking about the village.

He sighed, "I didn't help Xiao Qi's family much." ”

"No matter how much you help or how little you help, Yunqing and I are very grateful for this heart." Su Geun said.

The hearts of the people she met in her previous life were too indifferent, and she remembered the slightest kindness of others in this life.

"You little couple have a heart." He Xiangxi sighed from the bottom of his heart.

……

After that, He Xiangxi asked He Zhi and He Mu to go door to door to inform the people in the village and gather at the entrance of the village.

For a quarter of an hour, the talent in the village dragged on.

He Xiangxi said in a calm voice, "Stand up straight, what do you look like crookedly, Su Han, tear off your clothes for me!" ”

Su Qiang in the crowd gave Su Han a slap, and Su Han reluctantly took it off.

"What happened in the big reservoir today, everyone should be clear." He Xiang said to the west.

The villager nodded.

He Xiangxi continued: "Earlier, they went door-to-door to say that they wanted you to plant wheat this year, but some families still planted rice. ”

"The ugly story is that the water from the big pond is not allowed to be picked up for watering, and the whole village has to rely on the big pond to survive the dry season."

The crowd was noisy.

He Xiangxi's old face sank, "Quiet! If you quarrel with me again, get out of the village and quarrel, I didn't listen to persuasion at the beginning, what kind of face is there now, and the quarrel can solve the problem? ”

"As the head of a village, it's hard for me to watch you die! Every time for your good, some of you always go in the left ear and out the right ear. ”

The scene fell silent.

He Xiangxi's face improved a little, "Yunqing and Yunqing's daughter-in-law heard about this, so they wanted to help everyone." ”

"Xiao Qi's family wants to rent the land in the village to grow wheat, and give one or two silver rents per acre of land, and when the wheat is ripe, in addition to paying taxes, one acre of land will be divided into a harvest for you."

The crowd was noisier and gossipy than before.

"Wow, that's a lot of rent."

"The harvest is also shared, and the iron is sure to die."

"In previous years, an acre of rice was only sold for one or two pieces of silver."

"What do you think about the Xiao Qi family?"

"Quiet, what's the trouble, when you're done, you guys will go home and talk."

He Xiangxi clapped his hands, and when the scene was quiet, he looked at Su Jin and asked her to speak.

Because the sun was too dazzling, Su Jin's eyes were half squinted, "Grandpa, grandmother, uncles and aunts, I know that the drought is not easy to endure, but please bear with it for a while, don't look at the large pond There is a lot of water, in fact, it is only enough for the whole village to use water for three or four months, and it is really not good to use it to water the fields."

"I know it's not easy for you to feed a large family all year round from the rice harvest, but you also have to think about the village."

"Now that the real drought has not yet come, if the water from the big pond is used now, it will not be a problem for a few families, but a problem for the whole village."

"The problem of several families, every family in the village has a help, and it is easy to survive the drought, but who can help the problem of the whole village?"

The woman's voice was faint and soft, the crowd was quieter, and several families lowered their heads in shame.

A woman in the crowd choked up and said: "Yunqing daughter-in-law, we have no way, a large family has to be raised, and there is not much land at home, how can we live by planting wheat." ”

Su Jin smiled soothingly, "Auntie, Yunqing and I know that it is not easy for you, so we thought of this method." ”

Someone in the crowd asked, "Yunqing's daughter-in-law, why do you have so much money?" ”

This is questioning that Xiao Qi's family has no money.

It's normal, after all, Xiao Qi's family is notoriously poor.
