"Xiaoshuai, you are in the house, you have to listen to your grandmother obediently, your mother has something to go out, and she will come back in the evening. If you can't take it with you in this mansion, you can let Aunt Ziding take you to find Uncle Zi, and you must not run around alone, you know? ”

The matter of Ziyi City, the Liu family already knows. She didn't expect what was going on with them before, but when she knew that Xiao Shuai's father was Zi Yicheng, and saw his attitude towards Du Yi, she was very relieved.

"I know my mother!" Xiao Shuai has a kind of admiration for Zi Yicheng, and after knowing that he is his father, he likes to be tired of being by his side. But after knowing that his mother didn't let him speak, he still called Uncle Zi. No matter how much Ziyi City coaxes, it's useless.

In the following days, it was very peaceful, and when Du Yi inspected the restaurant, in order to hide people's eyes, he also took Ling Yuanfan with him. However, after resigning from the shopkeeper, Ling Yuanfan opened his mouth to the chef and the shopkeeper, and Du Yi was on the side, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end.

When Du Heng learned that Du Yi was going with Ling Yuanfan, he was a little discouraged. After seeing that everyone had resigned, he shook his head and said nothing. But let's wait and see what they do.

In the evening, Du Yi leaned on Zi Yicheng's arms, looking at Xiao Shuai who was playing with a little black dog not far away, feeling a little down-to-earth and a little trance. She knew that the current peace was only temporary.

"I'm leaving tomorrow, you pay more attention to yourself. After a while, you take Xiaoshuai to the Hou Mansion, and I will look for you when the time comes! Zi Yicheng was really reluctant to go, but he had to go.

People are not in the capital, and no one knows what will happen in the next moment. He had to go back before anyone found him. It's been a few days since I came out this time, and it's time to go back.

"Okay, I'll go when it's cooler. It's still hot, with a little handsome, it's not good to hurry! "Du Yi is now taking his son, and he is smearing things on his face, so that the little guy looks extremely ordinary, and it will not make people think that the father of the child will be Ziyi City.

"It's good! What kind of manpower do you need, you tell Yu Ziheng, and he will arrange it for you! ”

"Yes, I know!"

The two had a chat like this, Xiao Shuai half hugged and half dragged the little black dog, and went this way: "Mother!" ”

"Remember to wash your hands for a while, and after playing with the puppy, you can't rub your eyes, you know?" Du Yi's hygiene requirements for Xiaoshuai are very strict, and he is afraid that the little guy will be infected by those bacteria if he is not careful.

But she's not going to ask the little ones not to touch the animals because of hygiene. It's just going to teach him what to do next after he's played.

Zi Yicheng looked at the little face that had already revealed the same as himself at this moment, and he loved it very much in his heart. stepped forward and hugged the little guy horizontally, ready to help him take a bath, and cultivate the relationship between father and son. Until now, he hadn't been able to get the little guy to call him father. I hope that before leaving, I can coax the little guy to call out.

Whether it is the rapid progress of the relationship between Du Yi and Zi Yi City, or the departure of Zi Yi City, it is getting hotter and hotter day by day. It hadn't rained until now, which made Dooy's brow furrow tighter and tighter.

In her opinion, if you are not afraid of rain, you are afraid of drought. In the event of a drought, not to mention that there is no food harvest, there is no water to drink, and this is the most painful thing. There are often people who fight and brawl because of drinking water.

There is food, and there is no way to do it, so you can only die of thirst. In Dui's opinion, this is the saddest thing.

Zi Yicheng is gone, and she is now free to enter and leave the Du Mansion. Du Heng was also worried about the drought, and after seeing that Du Yi's restaurant was not doing well or badly, he shifted his attention.

Let's say that in Liujia Village, the village chief has not slept well during this time. Seeing the less and less water, my heart became more and more frightened. Is there really going to be a drought? In other places, he can't manage it, as long as the villagers of Liujia Village can be safe and sound.

On this day, he gathered Yinniu and others together, and said, "I believe you have all seen that there is only a drought on this day." Now there is no shortage of water in our Liujia Village, and the rice grows quickly, and it will be harvested in half a month. It's just that I'm afraid that if we continue to dry up like this, our water will run dry, so you should prepare first. ”

"Village chief, I have two large vats at home, and I have filled them. Starting tomorrow, I will go to the town, buy a few more water tanks, dig a cellar at home, and store all the water, do you think this is feasible? ”

Yinniu and Qiao's were the first to notice this, and when they were storing water by themselves, they didn't forget to discuss it with a few brothers and let them all store water first. They haven't experienced drought and don't know what will happen in the end.

I just heard their mother say that when his mother was a child, I heard her grandfather say that in the drought year, there was no water to drink, and there was no food to eat. The little baby was so hungry that she cried in the end, and the mother bit her hand and let the child suck her own blood in order for the baby to live.

Although their brothers had never seen it with their own eyes, they listened to their mother's words and knew the seriousness of this matter. According to the amount of water lost in their Liujia village, it can survive until the rice harvest in the terraced fields. As for what happened after that, I thought that the girl would also give instructions, and they waited to see what the girl had to say.

"Okay, that's it. We don't care what people in other villages do or think, we first make sure that the people in our village can live safely. By the way, those who come to work in our factory also remind people. It should be too late to store water now. When there is no water, save some water and stay up until winter, when it snows! ”

Wang Tiezhu is concerned about the fields, and this year's rice looks much better than in previous years. If there is no harvest at the last critical moment, how should he explain it to the young lady?

Shanzi doesn't care much about those, the orchards on the mountain are all fine, and the growth is good. As long as there is fruit, you will not die of thirst. This year's orchard looks like it is about to have a bumper harvest, and the amount of silver earned by that time will definitely be much higher than in previous years.

He remembered that the girl had said that there were good things to have a variety of trees. No matter if there is a drought or a flood in the future, there is no fear of water shortage. He didn't know what was going on with other people's homes, but his house was full of trees, big or small, and the whole yard was there.

In winter, the cold wind can't blow in, and the summer won't be very hot. He also dug a well at home, and now the water level has dropped a little, not as much as in the village. However, Yinniu has a point, no matter whether the well at home will dry up or not, it is always right to store more water.

Just when everyone was finished discussing and preparing to leave, Green Willow arrived.

"Green Willow, but the girl asked you to come back?" As soon as Qiao Shi saw the dusty green willows, he hurriedly took a glass of water and handed it to her.

Green willow came back all the way from Fengcheng this time, and found that the drought scene that came back along the way was much more serious than that of Fengcheng. I couldn't help but secretly admire Miss in my heart, and even this could be expected. But thinking of what the young lady said, he hurriedly said, "The young lady asked me to come back." Sit down, and I'll talk to you for a while! ”

"Okay, don't worry, you can rest first!" Peach Blossom held up a small belly and stepped forward to run down the back of Green Willow to help her breathe.

Peach Blossom is also afraid of drought, and if there is no water to drink, what should she and her children do. This is her first baby, she doesn't want to die, she hasn't given birth to the baby yet. However, she believes that Yiyi must have a way to solve it.

When the green willow rested enough, he looked around, and after seeing that everyone was there, he said: "Miss asked me to come back and tell you that there is going to be a drought this day, and now this situation is happening in all parts of the Purple Moon Country, so let you store more water." ”

"In addition, find out if there is an underground river, as long as you find the underground river, you are not afraid of running out of water to drink. The young lady didn't say how to find it. The underground river, she said, is the opposite of what we see now, underground. ”

"Some underground rivers will slowly flow out of the earth, and slowly turn into streams and rivers. He also said that in some places like those waterfalls, if you find the source, you may find a lot of water in the cave. ”

"Now let's store water first, and if we have time, we can go to our three mountains first. We only started to open terraces and orchards halfway up the mountain, except for the relatively low mountain to the north, the other two mountains have to be looked for. ”

"Miss said that if there are mountains, there will be water, especially on our side, the underground where it rains a lot, so you don't have to be afraid! As long as the people of Liujia Village are united, we will be able to get through it smoothly. ”

People who were worried that even if they stored water, they would die of thirst after drinking it, were a little relieved when they heard this. However, it is imperative to store water first, which cannot be changed.

"Good! Everyone heard what Midori Willow said, right? Now each of them began to prepare, so that the villagers had free time, they would walk up the hill and have a look, and if they found it, let them know. But there are a lot of wild things on the mountain, so when you are on the mountain, bring more people with you. ”

The village chief finally put the high hanging heart back in his stomach. As long as Doe says it's okay, it should be fine.

It has to be said that the village chief has blind trust in Duyi. He believed everything that Doe said. To him, or the people of Liujia Village, Du Yi can be said to be their spiritual leader. Now that even Doe has said it's okay, then he doesn't have to worry.

"Green Willow, will you come back alone this time?" Peach Blossom took Green Willow's hand and asked. She hadn't seen Xiaobao in a while, and she didn't know what was wrong with the child.

"Well, Peach Blossom, your belly is so big?" Green Willow looked down at Peach Blossom's belly, with a hint of envy in her eyes.

"Yes, my mother said, the next thing will only get bigger and bigger. Let's go, go to my house and sit down! Peach Blossom said, without the help of the iron ox, and pulled the green willow forward.

Peach Blossom's home is the small shop, and it is very close to Liu's house. After sitting in the shop for a while, Lu Liu went back to Liu's house. Now there are a few simple people left in the Liu family, Liu Dazhu, Xiaohuzi, an old man who cares a few doormen and a mother-in-law who washes and cooks. Green Willow came back this time to help Du Yi and the Liu family see the situation at home.

"Aunt Green Willow, you're back!" Xiaohuzi, who was already out of school, saw the green willow and happily greeted him. Now that he and his grandfather are at home, it is inevitable that they will be a little lonely. Sometimes he thinks of his aunt, his father and his aunt. will also think about Xiaobao and Xiaoshuai, as well as his grandmother.

But he knew that Aunt Yiyi said that he wanted to study and stay at home to take care of his grandfather. If you miss them, you can go to them. Auntie, they've only been gone for less than two months, and he can't go yet. If he goes, Grandpa will be left alone in the house.

If he misses them, he can go to Aunt Peach's shop to have a look, or Zhao Brother and Aunt Zhao's house to see the little sister.

"Is Xiaohuzi obedient? Come, this is a letter from your Aunt Yiyi! Du Yi felt sorry for Xiaohuzi being left behind, and before Green Willow came back, he wrote a letter to Xiaohuzi. After Xiaohuzi got it, it was like getting a treasure, and he hid back in his room to see it.

The drought is getting more and more serious, and the people of the Purple Moon Country are begging their grandfather to tell their grandmother, hoping that it will rain soon. Every household in Liujia Village has stored a lot of water, no matter what the situation outside is, how they should have lived in the past, and how they still live now.

Because of the drought and hot weather, the rice count was about seven days earlier than in previous years. Although the people of Liujia Village saw that the water was getting less and less, they were not worried at all, and when they saw that the rice was ripe, they all threw themselves into the joy of the harvest.

In addition, even the fruits ripened earlier than usual. Men harvest rice, women pick fruits. Zhao Di and a group of people, in addition to recording the data of picking, have all devoted themselves to washing grapes and crushing grapes.

In the dead of night, she followed Du Yi's method in previous years, pulling Yinniu, Qiao's and Tie Niu and others to get busy together. Although they were a little tired this year, Doe promised them three times as much as in previous years.

Now they have the silver, but Du Yi's kindness, help and trust in them make them all follow her with all their hearts. The four brothers of Tie Niu, helping to harvest during the day, were so tired that they couldn't straighten their waists, but they still stiffened their heads and accelerated the action of sealing the altar in their hands. Looking up at the sky, I sighed again, tomorrow is another sunny day.

At home, Su and Peach Blossom are helping them take care of the children, and now Su is three points better than before Du Yi left. Looking at her now, I can't tell that she was a shrew at all.

"Peach Blossom, what do you say is the situation outside? God, what's the matter, if it doesn't rain again, the people will die of thirst! ”

The Su family helps Peach Blossom watch the shop during the day, and people from these ten miles and eight villages come and go, and they all get the news from the outside first-hand. Now that she has children and grandchildren, and her life is comfortable, she is worried about others.

I used to be poor, but now that my life is better, I think of the poor days I used to have, and my scalp is numb. But compared to the drought, this is much better. Many of the people out there didn't even have a sip of water to drink, and what a wickedness it was.

Nowadays, the people of Liujia Village live a prosperous life, and every household has stored at least ten water tanks of water. In the following days, he was not afraid, but when he thought of someone suffering, Su Shi couldn't help but sigh.

"Mother, we can only take care of ourselves now. I hope that when the orchards and terraces are harvested, there will be a few heavy rains on our side, and the drought will come slowly. ”

When Su Shi heard this, his eyes lit up: "Peach Blossom, I heard the older generation say that if a pregnant woman prays to God for two quarters of an hour for three days before going to bed, God will agree." Why don't you try it too? ”

After hearing this, Peach Blossom smiled lightly, if God could hear the prayer, he would not have watched so many people suffer. But when she looked at Su's sparkling expectant eyes, she had to agree: "Mother, you just heard that I did this, if it didn't rain, you can't blame me!" And what if, I said, if it's raining, you can't just shout about it, you know? Otherwise, I'll be treated like a monster! ”

Su Shi smiled awkwardly and said, "Mother naturally knows, Mother is not so stupid." Okay, you go to bed quickly, the child has me watching, remember to pray for two quarters of an hour! ”

Su Shi thought, if it was said by the older generation, it would really work. As soon as it rains on their side, there will be water. Then you can give the water stored in every household to those who don't have water to drink. And they can also lend them more water, so that there will be fewer people affected by the disaster, and the people of Liujia Village can be regarded as accumulating virtue, and they will definitely bless future generations in the future!
