Liu Yimiao hung his clothes in the yard and went back to the house.

"Ding, host, why don't you think about solving the drought problem if you're so smart."

"I'm not the Dragon King, what can I do if it doesn't rain?"

"Ding, issue a mandatory task: the host finds the water source within a month and solves the drinking water crisis in the village within half a year. Reward: 100 catties of white flour, punishment: make the host have pimples on his face, validity period: half a year. ”

"Are you too ruthless in the system, I can't stand the pimples for a minute, and it's still half a year."

"Host, I'm sure you'll complete your mission, so we'll see you next time." The system gave Liu Yimiao a flying kiss and floated away.

Liu Yimiao said frantically: "I don't even have a hint, just rely on my own thinking, I'd rather starve to death than have a lump of flesh." It's a pity that the system didn't react at all, Liu Yimiao still thought about it himself.

The weather is still relatively hot now, and the washed clothes and bedding are dry, mainly because there is not much cotton left, and it is all a thin layer. This padded jacket has been worn for many years, and several children are not willing to wear the clothes made yesterday, and they are ready to be kept for the New Year. If anyone wears intimate clothes, especially a big girl, they will be called inappropriate.

Liu Yimiao sewed up the dismantled futon again and put it away. Liu Yimiao didn't expect that he was so diligent, but he couldn't stand the smell if he didn't wash it.

After sewing the quilt, the Liu family came back to cook. Liu Yimiao asked: "Mom, it's getting hotter and hotter, I went to wash the quilt today, and found that the water level in the river is getting lower and lower, and when the time comes, it won't rain, the river will dry up, and there will be no water in the well, and there will be no water to drink, will we be thirsty to death?"

Mrs. Liu asked Liu Shuitian: "Her father, we haven't encountered a drought here, but a few villages are close to the sea, how can there be a drought?"

Liu Shuitian also frowned after drinking the paste: "You can't drink the sea water directly, if the water in the river is dried up, the water in the well will be less and less, and there will really be no water to drink at that time."

The family panicked when they heard this, the grain production was already expected to be reduced, and when the time came, there would be no water to drink, wouldn't it cost people's lives? It's not like in the past when you could go to other places to escape the famine, but now you have to have a letter of introduction when you go out, and you can't stay without a foreign household registration.

Liu Yimiao said: "Mom, we are close to the sea here, there will still be underground rivers, there will be no shortage of water, as long as we find the right place, dig it out, and then build a reservoir to store the water."

Mrs. Liu heard that it was very reasonable, and she hurriedly went to the village chief's house to discuss. Her nephew was resting at home, and Mrs. Liu shouted, "Liu Dagen, are you at home?" Village Chief Liu was suddenly frightened by Mrs. Liu's loud voice and woke up from his sleep.

Village Chief Liu hurriedly invited the old lady into the house, "Auntie, I'm also an official, can you not call me Dagen outside." ”

Mrs. Liu glared: "What's the matter, the village chief is not my nephew, if you don't let me call Dagen, I'll ask your father if he agrees."

Village Chief Liu knew that his father loved this cousin the most, and said that she was smart, so Village Chief Liu hurriedly said: "Aunt, it's noon, it's so hot, what can't you say about going to work in the afternoon." In fact, Village Chief Liu complained that his aunt had affected her to rest.

Mrs. Liu didn't talk nonsense, so she told the drought at home again.

Liu Gen also frowned when he heard this: "Now that there is so little food, it will definitely take more effort to repair the reservoir when the time comes, and if there is no food, how can the villagers be willing to do that job."

The old lady said: "You are so stupid, you directly said that the people who participated in the construction of the reservoir can go to the reservoir to fetch water rations in the future when there is a shortage of water, and whoever is not worried about the drought will definitely participate, and you don't need to mobilize."

Liu Gen slapped his thigh: "Aunt, you are still amazing, I will go to the village party secretary and we will discuss this matter immediately."

Mrs. Liu came out triumphantly, and sighed that I am still indispensable for everyone to do things.

After discussing with the village party secretary, Liu Gen found the loudspeaker in the village and shouted: "Villager comrades, please invite the whole family to come to the grain drying field for a meeting, and if you don't come, you will be deducted one day's work." The people in the village immediately rushed to the grain drying field, and everyone was chattering.

"Why don't you sleep on such a hot day, I'm still hungry, and I can save some food by sleeping," the villagers complained.

Liu Gen immediately talked about the drought and the reservoir.

The villagers are very supportive of the construction of the reservoir, but some families only have one strong laborer, and there is no work to build the reservoir, and the family has to starve if there is no food; If you don't repair it, you may not have water to drink, and the villagers ask the village chief what to do.

Liu Gen said, "If there is only one strong laborer, he will go to the field to earn work points, and the labor points will be deducted from the water in the future, which is also fair to everyone." The rest of the families each contributed a strong labor to repair the reservoir. Moreover, if the reservoir is repaired quickly, it can be finished early to earn work, and no one wants to be lazy. ”

The villagers felt that the village chief's words were very reasonable, so they registered the person who repaired the reservoir on the spot.

Liu Gen is now worried about the location of the underground river. Liu Yimiao said to Mrs. Liu: "Mom, are there any places here where we have never watered, and the plants are growing well, unlike other places that are dry?" Mrs. Liu thought about it carefully, and really thought of such a place and asked: "That place is on the other side of the concave, and there is barren grassland all around, what are you looking for?" Liu Yimiao said: "Now that I'm doing this, there is no shortage of water in that place, which means that there is water underground!"

Mrs. Liu patted her head and told Village Chief Liu, who also knew the place, so he found a few men to dig the soil.

When I arrived at that place, I found that the plants were really growing well, so I found a place where the ground was covered with moss and began to dig, and after digging a few times, Liu Yimiao saw the sudden water flowing out, and hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up and block it, it flows out and dries and there is no water." When everyone heard this, they hurriedly blocked the hole.

Liu Gen determined the location of the water source and began to allocate personnel to repair the reservoir. The reservoir should be covered with stones to prevent leakage, and it should be built in a shady place. When the reservoir is located, some people are arranged to dig pits, some people carry mud, some people carry stones, and some people try to smooth the surface and sides of the stones. Everyone is in a hurry.
