Chapter 65: Fighting for Water
Dr. Zhang looked at his son and said, "How is it?" Business is good, right? ”
Daniel Zhang smiled and said, "Well, it's not bad, I think it's a good thing that can be done for a long time." ”
Ye Lan also smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry!" Today's business is very good, and we think this business can be continued. ”
Dr. Zhang touched his beard and said, "You can do it, and you can take a good look at your business in the future." ”
Ye Lan smiled and nodded.
The Zhang family's business is very good, and the people in the village came to say hello when they knew it, and they knew that it was Tang Zhi'an who taught the Ye Lan family to do business, and they all sighed in their hearts, is this evil star really transferred?
Many people have their own thoughts in their hearts, and gradually when they meet Tang Zhian and them on the road, the people in the village are no longer hiding far away, and some people even greet them.
This was an unprecedented treatment for Tang Zhi'an, so when the people in the village greeted him, he couldn't react for a while.
Tang Zhi'an smiled with Lin Qiu'er and said: "Daughter-in-law, I think you are my greatest happiness, you see that since I met you, my life is completely different from before, and now the people in the village will actually greet me, this is really different." “
Lin Qiu'er smiled and said: "This is all your blessing, you are so kind-hearted, God will definitely not treat you badly, so you can rest assured!" The days to come will definitely get better and better. ”
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and Lin Qiu'er's business time is getting earlier and earlier, because the dawn is early, and the hot people at noon are uncomfortable, so they go early, and they come back early, before the hottest time at noon.
After returning home for lunch, they hurried to bed, but fortunately, they had a meeting every three days, so their lives were not chaotic.
The weather was too hot, they hurried back after the set, Ye Lan and Daniel Zhang also followed them, the four people just arrived at the entrance of the village, they were stopped by someone, "Our village and the neighboring village are fighting, hurry back to help!" ”
Daniel Zhang went down without saying a word, and ran towards home, he had to go back and bring the tools first, otherwise he wouldn't be able to help when he got there.
Tang Zhian hesitated, not knowing whether he should go over or not.
When the man saw him like this, he hurriedly shouted, "Zhi'an, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up, otherwise if our village loses, this year's crops will be affected." ”
Hearing his words, Tang Zhian hurriedly nodded, "Okay, I'll go over now, don't worry!" ”
After the man finished speaking, he hurriedly ran over, Tang Zhian did not stop, drove the ox cart to his house, casually put the ox cart in the yard, and ran away with a hoe.
Lin Qiu'er wanted to explain a few words to him but didn't catch anyone, she couldn't rest assured, after she drove the cow in, she quickly locked the door and went to Dr. Zhang's house.
"Sister-in-law, do you think the men in our village will suffer?"
Ye Lan waved her hand, "No, you can rest assured!" This phenomenon of competing for water occurs every year, and it would be good to have a fight. ”
Lin Qiu'er said suspiciously: "Sister-in-law, why are you fighting?" Isn't there a river in our village? ”
Ye Lan sighed and said, "That's right! It's that river, as you know, the neighboring village is above us, and the river passes through their village first, and at this time of year their village will block the river and get all the water to their village, so we won't have water to water the land. “
Lin Qiu'er nodded when she heard this, indicating that she understood, she had also been to the river in Xinglin Village, and the name of the river was He, which was actually similar to a creek, especially in the summer, where the water was even less.
Once the water is blocked, they will definitely have no water here, so it is no wonder that they have to fight with the neighboring villages.
If there is no water, the crops in the field will all die, and there will be no harvest, which is a fatal thing for the croppers, no wonder the men in the village have gone to fight.
But although I know it in my heart, I am still a little worried in my heart, this group fight is not long-eyed, and if I inadvertently hurt it, I only think I am unlucky, and no one can say anything.
Ye Lan was still a little worried when she saw her, so she enlightened and said, "It's okay, you can rest assured!" This kind of thing has happened many times, men are measured, so many people go to scare each other, if it really fights, it will be skin trauma. ”
Although he said that, he still couldn't stop worrying in his heart, so he didn't leave to sit at Dr. Zhang's house and wait for news.
After about an hour, some people from the village came back, and when they arrived at Dr. Zhang's house, they were all injured to varying degrees.
Seeing this, Lin Qiu'er's heart became even more nervous, she couldn't sit still at all, and quickly got up and went home.
When he arrived at home and saw Tang Zhi'an, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Ah Zhi, how are you?" Are you hurt? ”
Tang Zhian said while washing his hands: "No. ”
Lin Qiu'er relieved her mind at this time, "That's good, I'm very worried, I'm afraid that you will be injured, this group fight is a very dangerous thing." ”
Tang Zhian also nodded, "Well, but it's okay, you don't have to be so nervous." ”
Lin Qiu'er said: "Just now I saw a lot of people at Dr. Zhang's house going to bandage their wounds, what's going on? ”
Tang Zhian sat beside her and told her what had just happened.
When Tang Zhi'an went home and took a hoe to the edge of the paddy field, their village was facing off from the neighboring villages.
The village chief looked at the village chief of the next village and said, "Old Huangtou, don't be so excessive, you have intercepted all the water, do the people of our village still want to live?" ”
Village Chief Huang sneered and said, "I don't care about this, and I'm not the head of your village, what does it matter to you to live for me?" ”
When the people of Xinglin Village heard this, they all looked at him angrily.
"You're going too far! You took the water away to kill the people in our village, and you still say it's none of your business? ”
The village chief looked at them and said, "We didn't ask you to give us all the water, as long as you don't block it, won't this work?" ”
Village Chief Huang looked at him and said, "No, whoever let this river pass through us first, now that the weather is so hot, we naturally have to hurry up and get this water into the ground, otherwise, our crops will die." ”
Seeing that it didn't make sense, the village chief was even more angry in his heart, and spit out a few heavy breaths, "You did it on purpose, you don't want to give our people in the village a way to live, right?" ”
Village Chief Huang looked at him and said, "Village Chief Lin, what you said is too much, right?" I just want the crops in our village to be watered first, and then the river water will be lowered, so just wait! ”
The village chief was anxious, the weather was so hot that there was already a shortage of water in the paddy fields, and if he didn't water it again, the crops here would be lost, and this year's harvest would be a problem.
So he had to settle the matter now, and he couldn't wait until the neighboring villages had finished watering their villages.
Tang Zhi'an saw that the village chief was in a hurry, so he stepped forward and said to the village chief of the next village: "Uncle, you are also a farmer, you should understand how serious this water shortage is, we really have no other requirements, you just don't block this river, and now you have not agreed to it, it is too much." ”
