Chapter 59: Make it easy
But even so, she still didn't give up, no, taking advantage of the moment to help Tao Wangsheng change straw shoes, Tao Sixi couldn't help but remind him: "Dad, I heard from the second uncle, you are going to Hongtian Village these days to discuss the matter of opening the gate and releasing water?" ”
Tao Wangsheng smiled and nodded with her while putting on his shoes: "Well, the reservoir is built on the edge of Hongtian Village, and the people of Hongtian Village have been maintaining the embankment repair over the years. ”
Tao Sixi also nodded lightly, handed over another straw sandal, and said softly: "Dad, I heard that many people in Hongtian Village are more fierce and domineering, relying on the fact that there is a big landlord in their village, and they are very strong in ten miles and eight villages. ”
Tao Wangsheng pondered seriously and nodded, "Four girls, don't worry, Dad is not stupid, Dad won't be the first bird." Besides, Dad is also self-aware, even if I come out of that, no one will listen, haha! ”
Tao Sixi also smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
It's been a long time, and she can't remember exactly what time point it was in her previous life, and what fuse broke out because of it, it should be around here!
What she can do is to tell her father as much as possible and give him a reminder, and the rest can only depend on God's will.
……
Because of the lack of water, Mr. Ji posted a notice, the private school was closed for a period of time, the students went home to help the family farming, and he himself took his servants to the county club to go to the old friends.
Tao Sixi has also stayed at home these days, following Fan and Tao Eryun to take care of housework.
Dig pigweed, shovel pigsties, do everything you can.
Outside, after several rounds of failed negotiations and negotiations, the battle between Tang Village and Hongtian Village for the reservoir has entered incandescent status.
In the alleys of the village, everywhere there are people, they are talking about it.
The big guy was indignant when he talked about Hongtian Village's occupation of the reservoir and the fact that it was his own.
So much so that several daughters-in-law in the village who married from Hongtian Village were crowded out in the village during this time.
In the old Tao family, Fan and Tao Sixi sisters were cooking lunch in the stove room.
Zhu broke into the stove room with a basin and ran straight to the water tank in the corner.
Grab the gourd on the side and scoop it into the basin.
Fan hurriedly stopped Zhu: "Second brother and sister, my mother has instructed that the water in this tank can only be used to boil water and cook rice, and nothing else can be done." ”
Zhu and Fan smiled here, and said with a flattering face: "Good sister-in-law, I'll scoop two scoops back to the house to take a bath, I've been sweating every day for the past few days, and I can't take a good shower, I'm so uncomfortable that I'm going to die!" ”
Fan said: "Second brother and sister, we don't have water to bathe, let's bear with it first, the water in this water tank, my mother has told me that it will take five days, and none of us can move it......"
Zhu was a little anxious, "Sister-in-law, as long as you don't say it, how will your mother know?" I'll scoop a few scoops without delaying things, please, make it convenient! ”
Fan's face was embarrassed.
Zhu took advantage of the situation to push Fan away, and wanted to grab the gourd scoop again, but the gourd scoop was taken away first.
At first glance, it was Tao Sixi.
"Second aunt, this water is picked out by my father who didn't sleep in the middle of the night, wore out several pairs of shoes and went back and forth in the mountains more than ten times, it is the life-saving water of more than a dozen people in our old Tao family in the past few days, even if you are covered with sweat, you can't touch this water!"
Tao Sixi stared at Zhu with a cold gaze and said with a serious face.
