Chapter 686: Digging a pit to store water

Daddy Han nodded and said, "I know this, not everyone is the same!" ”

"Dad, our family doesn't have a harvest this year, and we don't have any savings, don't you want to run away from the famine then?"

"What are you afraid of, there are not many rich families in the village, and they are all counting on this season's rice."

While the two of them were chatting, the other men in the village were also like them, and they all stood on the ridge with some sighs.

"We have to think of ideas, there is no way to go on like this!" Someone suggested.

"What can be done, there is no water in this ditch, it's all mud."

"Let's dig up the mud, dig the small trench deeply, and we will probably be able to store water in one night!"

When a few men heard this proposal, they all thought it was good.

There was still a little bit of wet mud in the ditch, indicating that there must still be water underneath. It is possible to dig a hole to store water.

As they spoke, they began to dig with shovels.

There are few fields in the countryside, most of them are owned by landlords, and each family has only a few acres, which are basically next to each other. Therefore, it is necessary to dig a deep hole in the ditch of one's own field to store water.

Father Han was about to pick up a shovel to dig, but was persuaded by the fifth child of the Han family, "Dad, you are not in good health, I can go down and dig." ”

Father Han shook his head and said, "Let's dig faster." ”

"Daddy, dig in the mud, I'll get your clothes dirty later."

"If it's dirty, it's dirty, just go back and wash it. You dig alone and don't know how long it will take. Let's dig a little deeper. Hold a little water. ”

"Okay, Daddy, let's dig together. If you can't dig it, don't be strong! ”

"Good!" Daddy Han nodded, picked up the shovel, went into the ditch, and began to dig up.

The ditch was full of mud, and the two men dug until the evening, and finally dug a big hole. It is estimated that a lot of water can be stored in one night.

With this water for irrigation, the time will at least allow for a more harvest of grain.

The two of them were already covered in mud.

"Old five, it would be nice if your second brother had half of you, there is a big drought right now, there is no water, and we have to take care of pumping water for him."

"Dad, we're a family, don't say something!"

"Alas, good!"

The fifth child of the Han family first went up to the ridge from the ditch, and when he was about to pull Daddy Han on his body, Daddy Han's head was dizzy, and he didn't stand still, and fell directly into the ditch.

"Daddy, Daddy, what's wrong with you?" The fifth child of the Han family jumped into the ditch again with a nervous face and helped Father Han up.

"I guess I kept my head down just now, and when I looked up, it was dark in front of me!" Father Han said a little weakly.

"Dad, I'll just say I won't let you dig it, look at you!" The fifth elder of the Han family muttered.

Father Han sighed and shook his head, alas, he is getting old, and he can't do a little thing.

"Dad, I'll help you go back!" The old five ways of the Han family.

It took a lot of effort for the fifth child of the Han family to finally pull Daddy Han up from the ditch.

"Dad, slow down."

"Good, good!"

After sending Daddy Han back, Daddy Han's health was even worse. The fifth child of the Han family hurriedly put Father Han on the bed and lay down.

"Dad, are you alright?" The fifth elder of the Han family asked nervously.

"Water, give me a glass of water!"

"Good!" The fifth child of the Han family hurriedly sent a cup to Father Han.

After drinking the herbal tea, Daddy Han's body eased up and became more comfortable.
