It is a matter of course that those who contribute give priority to water, so almost no one among the villagers is disgruntled.

A very small number of people who are not greedy enough and want to use water for their own homes will certainly not show their "discontentment" and "lack of gratitude" in today's environment where almost all villagers are grateful and happy.

The reason why Yu Shouyi and Yu Shouli's two families were ugly was entirely because they could have given priority to water by relying on their kinship with the Ming family, but because Yu Jiayan broke off their kinship with them, they could no longer enjoy the benefits given by the Ming family.

Yu Shouyi regretted it very much, he regretted that he didn't cut off the greed of his family earlier, and regretted that he didn't cherish him when the Ming family regarded him as a relative.

But the Yu family other than him is very strong, they don't think they are wrong at all, and they only resent the Ming family and Yu Jiayan for being unkind and ignoring their relatives.

Of course, they would never dare to say these words in front of the others in Wulitun, otherwise they would have to be drowned by the spitting stars of the villagers.

Let's talk about Yu Jiayan and Mingyue.

Some of their own farms have wells, some have ponds, and because they are well prepared, they have purchased several water wheels, so it is relatively easy for their fields to get water.

The wealthy families who had property around their Zhuangzi also dug wells and ponds in their own homes.

Only the land that Yu Jiayan bought one after another as a sacrificial field, and the dozens of villagers in the nearby village, they had neither ponds nor wells.

Fortunately, there was a small river that meandered around their fields, and the water level was not large, and the deepest part of the water level was only the base of the adult man's thigh, and the water level in the shallow area could only reach the calf of the adult man.

In order to prevent these villagers from losing their crops due to drought, Mingyue and Yu Jiayan had already urgently bought a large piece of river beach land in the deepest part of the river before spring plowing began.

While the villagers used the waterwheels they had kindly sponsored by the Yu family to divert water to water the land and prepare for spring ploughing, Yu Jiayan hired a group of strong laborers to dig six small square ponds in one go on the river beach they had just bought.

He and Mingyue did not use this small pond to raise fish and lotus roots, and before buying the land, Yu Jiayan had already arranged for these six small ponds to be used for their only purpose this year - water storage.

They didn't reserve this water for their own sacrificial fields, after buying all the fields around the hill, Yu Jiayan had already had people dig a pond and dig a well at the foot of the mountain.

Although the water level of the pond and well has dropped due to the drought, the water in the pond and well is still enough to irrigate all the Yu family's sacrificial fields.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Yu Jiayan and Mingyue had already planned to leave this water for those villagers for emergency use.

No, after the Ming family took out a few of their own ponds and shared them with the villagers, Yu Jiayan also found the elders of the Li Zhenghe clan in that village.

Li Zheng and the clan elders were almost stunned by a pie smashed by this pocket, and when they heard Yu Jiayan say that they should be as fair as possible and ensure that every household in the village has water, several old men hurriedly nodded and agreed, and Li Zheng patted his chest to ensure that he must be fair and just.

Yu Jiayan exchanged a few polite words with them, and then hinted that Kang Ping stayed in the village to help him supervise Li Zheng and several village elders.

Kang Ping is not very old but smart, Yu Jiayan handed it over with a look, and Kang Ping took the initiative to ask Yu Jiayan, "Master, master, Kang Ping can stay here and play for an hour." ”

An hour was enough time for him to spread the news to every corner of the village.

As long as everyone in the village knows about his master's good deeds and requirements for Li Zheng, then if Li Zheng and the village elders are too biased, there will definitely be people in the village who have suffered a lot to go to Zhuangzi to complain to his master.

Although this may attract some people who are not heart-warming or want to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, his master is not such an incompetent person who listens to and believes in partiality, and if someone really complains, his master will definitely investigate first and then deal with it.

After the matter was done, Yu Jiayan went directly back to his newly built Erjin house at the foot of the mountain.

In the backyard of the house, Mingyue is preparing lunch accompanied by the winter solstice.

Because it is on top of the Zhuangzi, Mingyue makes all the side dishes made with local materials.

As soon as Yu Jiayan entered the hall, he saw that there were already six home-cooked side dishes on the table, including Kung Pao chicken, stir-fried pork with sharp peppers, sweet and sour fish, egg custard, fried eggplant box, and cold salad (dried tofu shreds, cucumber shreds, and chili pepper shreds) on the table.

Vanilla brought him water, Yu Jiayan washed up a little, and Mingyue and Winter Solstice had already walked in one after the other.

Dong Solstice holds a large porcelain basin of white noodles soaked in cold water, while Mingyue holds a small porcelain basin of fried meat sauce and a large plate of vegetable platter.

Yu Jiayan took a look and saw that the big and deep plate was neatly stacked with shredded cucumbers, shredded lettuce, mung bean sprouts, shredded carrots, shredded carrots, shredded carrots, shredded green onions, green beans, and minced coriander (coriander).

"So rich!" Yu Jiayan sighed while taking the white porcelain bowl handed by Mingyue, on this hot day, these meals made by Mingyue are too appetizing.

Dong Solstice smiled and withdrew, and the little couple sat next to each other on the chairs, and then ate together.

After the meal, Meimei's little couple who took a nap took a ride back to their house in the county seat.

"Master, there are homeless people." Yu Jiayan was talking to Mingyue about the news that Kang Ping had brought back, and Changping, who was driving the car, had already exclaimed in a low voice.

He was surprised that there were homeless people who left their hometowns at this time, after all, Fuxing County is still quite stable, but at the same time, he was afraid that his voice would be too loud to attract the attention of the homeless, so he pretended to be casual.

Yu Jiayan couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard this, he opened the car window halfway, and Mingyue looked out from the half-open window with him.

At this time, the homeless people were obviously not hungry enough to have green eyes and rob people when they saw them, although they were wearing tattered clothes, all of them were thin and depressed, but they did not show a malicious expression or eyes towards the carriage that Mingyue and Yu Jiayan were riding.

Reason is still there, this is Mingyue's first impression of this group of homeless people.

Yu Jiayan obviously thought of going to a place with her, and he closed the half-open car window, "It seems that when I return to the county seat, I have to go to Master Gu first." ”

Mingyue understood, "You tell him that if necessary, our family can donate all the jade wheat, sweet potatoes, artichokes, and vermicelli to the county government for disaster relief." ”

The jade wheat can be put away after drying as it is, but the sweet potatoes and artichoke Mingyue are all sliced before they are dried in the sun.

Today's Yu family, basically every Zhuangzi's warehouse is full of grain under Yu Jiayan and Mingyuetun.

Yu Jiayan touched his wife's jet-black hair, "I know." ”

After a pause, he said: "I'd better call the eldest brother to go over, anyway, the eldest brother and our family have the same position." ”

Mingyue nodded, "It's good for you to call the shots." ”
