Chapter 22: Drylands

This night, Gu Junlan didn't dare to close his eyes.

She was still afraid, afraid that when she opened her eyes, the library that fell from the sky would be gone.

She wanted to stay in the library for a while, but she didn't dare, worried that time would have any effect on the real space.

Lying in bed, excited and apprehensive for the night, she went back and forth to the library several times, until it was almost dawn, and she fell asleep in a daze.

By the time she was called, it was already dawn.

"Mother!"

Gu Junlan walked out of the door, stretching and yawning.

If you look closely, there is still a dark green underneath.

"Oops! Lan'er, what's wrong with you? ā€

Gu put down the dishes and chopsticks and looked at her wilting appearance with a look of surprise.

"I—I was thinking about things last night and didn't sleep well."

"What do you think about all day, when you're young?"

"Mother, while the summer hoe, I want to try."

Gu Shi was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are you still thinking about rice?" ā€

After Gu Junlan nodded, Gu sighed: "You girl, I don't know where your stubborn temper comes from, you won't give up if you don't let you try." ā€

Hearing Gu say this, Gu Junlan was happy.

What does that mean agree?!

"Mother, you are so good to me."

Gu Junlan didn't care about breakfast, so she sat down with a well-behaved face and grabbed Gu's arm.

"You child, your mother is just your daughter, who is not good for you?"

Gu Junlan's existence is more important than life for the Gu family.

"Mother, then let's go after dinner!"

As she spoke, Gu Junlan lowered her head and hurriedly pulled the cornmeal batter in the bowl, eager to grow the rice now.

After breakfast, Gu took Gu Junlan to the field she had cultivated not far from home.

Gu Shi pointed to the not too big piece of dry land in front of him and smiled bitterly: "Look at it, there is no drop of water, where can you grow rice!" ā€

Gu Junlan carefully observed the terrain of this area and found that the terrain here was close to the mountains and was in a low-lying place.

"Mother, how do you water the things you plant?"

"I go to the stream to carry water."

After Gu said this, Gu Junlan remembered that this place was not far from the creek in the village.

But even if the stream is not far away, it is impossible to divert water into the field.

"Mother, I see."

Although his mind was now chaotic like a mess, Gu Junlan's face remained calm.

No matter how difficult things are, there will always be a way.

While Gu began to hoe the ground, Gu Junlan found an excuse and walked away.

I walked all the way to the stream, because it was morning, and while the sun had not yet risen, there were not many people washing clothes.

The women who were originally chatting saw Gu Junlan passing by, and they all shut up in unison.

"Hello aunts!"

Gu Junlan greeted them with a smile, and then sat down on the stone by the stream.

Ignoring the embarrassed eyes of the people next to her, Gu Junlan held her chin, and her thoughts slowly flew away along the stream.

How can we turn dry land into paddy fields?!

First of all, it is definitely not possible for the Gu family to plough the ground, and then it is necessary to solve the problem of digging ditches to divert water.

Gu Junlan was so engrossed that when she woke up, she found that the people around her didn't know when she was gone.

She stood up, patted the mud off her skirt, and walked up the stream.

With a plan in her mind, she wanted to see where the source of the creek was.
