Qi Ning didn't eat breakfast early the next morning, sent Dabao to Mrs. Zhou, and took Hanqiu up the mountain.

The weasel didn't run, curled up in the corner of the cage, and saw Qi Ning coming over and looking at her vigilantly.

"Does your leg still hurt?" Qi Ning squatted down and looked at the cute little guy gently.

The weasel didn't know if he understood, and closed his eyes and ignored Qi Ning.

"Oh, he's got all the meat." Hanqiu said excitedly.

"You cut up the rest of yesterday for him in a moment, and then go get an egg and beat it in a bowl and put it on."

"Okay, I'll go." Hanqiu ran to the back to get the chicken.

"Don't be afraid, I'll open the door and take out the plate and brush it for you, and you'll be delicious in a while. Shrewd. Qi Ning tentatively opened the cage and took out the plate to brush it by the spring water.

Hanqiu came over with a plate and a bowl.

"Come on, pour the meat here, we don't have a few plates, or we won't be able to eat."

Han Qiule put the meat and eggs for the weasel: "Eat quickly, eat more good fast." ”

Qi Ning looked at Han Qiu, who rarely showed childishness, smiled and shook his head, and went to work in the back.

On the morning of the third day, Qi Ning went up the mountain and saw that the cage on the bamboo house platform had been bitten into a big hole, and the weasel and the meat on the plate were gone, and it was estimated that it had run away in the middle of the night. Hanqiu knew that the boss was not happy with his pouting mouth.

"You can hang a gourd with your mouth again, if you like it, you can get a puppy to play with, this is wild and can't be raised." Qi Ning smiled and pinched Hanqiu's chin.

"I don't have dogs, I was bitten by dogs when I was a kid."

"Whatever you want, go cook and go to my aunt and grandma, I'm hungry." Qi Ning took the basin and went to the spring to wash.

In June, the rice fields in the village were planted with seedlings, and Qi Ning checked along the ridges when he was free. Fortunately, her field is next to the river and is not affected for the time being. However, there have been two light rains in the past six months, until the early rice harvest is about to be planted with the late rice, and the water in the river has begun to become less and less, and the stones under the riverbed have been exposed in many places. The spring water on the mountain is also much smaller, and it takes half a day to receive a bucket. Qi Ning asked the villagers to dig a narrow canal from the reservoir to the water channel in the rice field, so the seedlings could be planted.

"Fortunately, the owner has the foresight to be able to build a reservoir on his own mountain for everyone to prepare, otherwise this year's harvest will be in vain." Village Chief Zhu stood on the edge of the field with a hoe and said sincerely.

"Yes, we are blessed to have met a good owner." A man should be reconciled.

"The crops in my family's dry land in the south of the village are also dying of drought, so the village chief, you can go and beg the owner to put some water in the south as well." Zhu Datou licked his face and looked at Village Chief Zhu.

"Yes, my family still has more than nine acres of dry land, and if I don't water it, this year's seeds will be blind."

"My land is also dry."

.......

There are more than 20 families in the village who have dry land in the south of the village, and they used to rely on the weather for food, but now the crops are wilting when it doesn't rain.

"Don't be dissatisfied, my family has more dry land, but there are so many livestock on the mountain, and vegetables and fruit trees are grown, should we use all the water and make the livestock die of thirst?" Village Chief Zhu looked at everyone with a blushing face.

"Village chief, you go and beg the owner, even if you give less water." Zhu Datou cheekily pulled the village chief's sleeve and said.

"Yes, even if we give less water, we can harvest as many crops as we can by then, or what will we eat this year?"

"Hey, I'll ask with a thick old face, but if the owner doesn't agree, you can't hold a grudge, we can't find such a good owner anymore, if you annoy the owner and sell the land and leave, you just wait and cry."

"Uncle Village, you can talk to the owner." Zhu Datou followed behind the village chief and said.

"Don't follow, I'll do it myself." The village chief gave him a blank look, and went up to Zhushan with a hoe. Qi Ning has been washing and drying on Zhushan during the day to prepare the fruits for winemaking.

"It seems that Uncle Zhu is here." Hanqiu saw a familiar figure from a distance, and hurriedly said to Qi Ning, who was bending over to wash bamboo shoots.

"Uncle Zhu is here, Hanqiu is going to move a stool." Qi Ning greeted Village Chief Zhu, who was approaching.

"Don't be busy, I'll be gone in a moment. Everyone asked me to ask the owner for something. ”

"Uncle, just say it." Qi Ning took the stool that Hanqiu brought and handed it to Village Chief Zhu: "Sit down and say, Hanqiu will go and make a cup of good tea for my uncle." ”

"The owner." Village Chief Zhu rubbed his hands and said embarrassedly: "Many people in our village don't have some dry land in the south of the village, a total of a little more than 200 acres, and now it hasn't rained for half a year, and the crops in the field have wilted. ”

"Hey, what should I do? It's my negligence, if you want to use water, you can dig a canal and lead it over, I don't need much here. ”

"Really? Landlord! The old man kowtowed to you for everyone. Village Chief Zhu didn't expect Qi Ning to agree so happily, and he was so excited that he was about to kneel.

"Uncle, uncle, what are you doing, you have tormented me. I dug that reservoir for everyone in the first place, so could it be that I just watered my own fields and didn't use it for everyone? You ordered someone to dig a canal to lead it through, and if the reservoir ran out of water, we would find a way to dig a deep well. ”

"Hey, I'll go, thank you." Village Chief Zhu said that he was about to go down the mountain.

"Uncle, wait a minute." Qi Ning stopped Village Chief Zhu.

"The owner ......" Village Chief Zhu looked back at Qi Ning in a bit of a panic.

"Uncle remember what I said last year, right? Let everyone keep more rations, I am afraid that if it does not rain in a few days, the price of food will definitely rise. ”

"Hey, I'll say as soon as I get back, thank you for keeping everyone in mind." When Village Chief Zhu heard that Qi Ning hadn't changed his hexagram, he trotted down the mountain excitedly.

Hanqiu boiled water and brought the teapot over, and pouted when he saw Village Chief Zhu leaving: "I am blind with such a good tea, I am not blessed to drink it." ”

"He doesn't drink, let's drink. Pour me a drink, I'm thirsty. ”

Hanqiu gave Qi Ning a cup, and then he got a cup of tea and drank it and said to Qi Ning: "Madam, when will we go back?" ”

"What's wrong? Want to have a summer? ”

"No, I just feel that Hanxia has been in a bad mood recently, and I'm a little worried."

"I miss them too. Let's dry these fruits and put them up, and we'll take Dabao back tomorrow. Dabao has made Mrs. Zhou pet her in the past few days, and she is about to become a bully in Zhujia Village. ”

"No, the children in the village all like Young Master Bao and are willing to play with him. Young Master Bao never bullies people. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, you are all good people, and I am the stepmother. You go back and persuade Han Xia well, let her not think about it, and go out for a walk if she is bored. Sister-in-law Zhu's cat has given birth to cubs, you will go and pick one up and go back to Hanxia to play. Qi Ning smiled and stood up and went to work.
