131 months without rain

"Hmm!" Wang Xiaomei hurriedly responded.

I feel valued.

"In addition, I thought about it, starting tomorrow, every afternoon for half an hour, we will learn to read and write with Xianggong."

"It's good for us to do business in the future."

Wang Xiaomei was taken aback.

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Hurry up and say thank you.

She had just learned arithmetic and had already experienced the benefits of arithmetic.

Learning to read and write, she couldn't even think of it before she put it.

Not to mention that she is just a girl, even her eldest brother, and she has not been able to enter the school to read and write.

But now, her sister-in-law actually asked her to learn to read and write with her.

My sister-in-law is really better than my father and mother to her!

Qin Xiaoyao smiled.

"Thank you for not needing, just keep up with the progress! I'm a fast learner! He said.

In her previous life, she was a scholar, and she had a foundation, of course she was fast.

"Hmmm! I'll try! Wang Xiaomei looked firm.

Then, Qin Xiaoyao let her see what a genius is.

Her sister-in-law learns to write and recognize, and she only needs to look at it twice to learn it.

And she, practicing repeatedly and reciting many times, will still make mistakes.

But she thinks her only virtue is hard work.

Whenever she has time, or even when she is doing things, she will find opportunities to review or review what she has learned to strengthen her memory.

The consequence of this is that Wang Xiaomei has made amazing progress.

At the end of the month, even Song Que was surprised by Wang Xiaomei's results.

For the first time, I felt that Qin Xiaoyao's eyes on people were very poisonous.

It's mid-June and the weather is in the middle of summer.

Lingquan Town has not rained for two months.

Under the scorching sun, the sun scorched the earth, and many places gradually experienced a shortage of water.

The crops in the fields are short of water, and the villagers are trying to find ways to irrigate the crops and prevent the crops from drought.

Some people are even beginning to worry that there will be a severe drought this year, which will lead to the failure of this autumn's grain harvest.

The price of food in the city has fluctuated slightly.

Qin Xiaoyao heard something about the situation in Xiashui Village from Li Daniu's mouth.

Now, almost all the paddy fields in Xiashui Village are almost dry.

In order to prevent the rice from drying out, some villagers have started to fetch water from the Huanshui River.

It's a pity that relying on manpower to carry water to maintain it is not very good.

"The water level of the Huanshui River has dropped a lot, and the creek in the village has been cut off. Now everyone goes to the old well in the village to get water. ”

"Because there are so many people getting water, the well water has not been connected recently."

"The village chief just sent a message and asked everyone to line up to get water, and each household can only get two loads of water every day."

Qin Xiaoyao was taken aback.

"Only two loads of water? Where is this enough? ”

Li Daniu looked helpless.

"Of course it's not enough! The two loads of water are used for drinking, and the rest of the livestock are used for bathing, as well as domestic water such as bathing, and now everyone goes directly to the Huanshui River to pick it up. ”

Speaking of this, Li Daniu looked at Qin Xiaoyao with envy.

"It's better to have your house, there is a well in the yard."

"By the way, your well is still enough, right?"

Qin Xiaoyao nodded.

"It's enough, it's always full."

Seeing Li Daniu's surprised face, Qin Xiaoyao explained: "My family doesn't raise livestock, so I usually do laundry and cooking, plus water the few plots of land in the yard. You don't use much water every day. ”

Thinking of the few pieces of land in the courtyard, Qin Xiaoyao smiled on his face.

It's really a loss to that well, otherwise, the toon trees and vegetables that were planted would never have survived.

Li Daniu's eyes were filled with envy.

"Let's come to the town now to buy a yard with a well, I don't know if it's going to be successful?" Then he said.

Qin Xiaoyao's face was happy.

"Is this- enough money to go into the city and buy a yard?"

Li Daniu immediately gave Qin Xiaoyao a complaining look.

"Where is it so easy......

Eyes swept around the courtyard of the Song family, and Li Daniu sighed.

Two hundred and fifty taels, and give them about the same for another year...... And it has to be supported by in-laws.

Qin Xiaoyao smiled and reached out to pat his good sister on the shoulder.

"Don't be discouraged, you can buy it sooner or later!" Encouragement.

Li Dayu took a deep breath.

"Take your time." Then, with some frustration, he said.

"What's going on?" Sensing that Li Daniu's mood was a little wrong, Qin Xiaoyao asked.

"It's a hot day, and the goods are not so easy to receive now. Sister Sanya, didn't you notice that the goods I sent to Da Niu have become less in the past few days? "Mushrooms and the like are almost gone, and the farmhouse vegetables that were not able to be harvested before are not so easy to harvest now.

Or because of the drought, the vegetables that can survive in each vegetable field have to be raised by water, and the vegetables in the vegetable fields have become less.

"Hmm." Qin Xiaoyao responded.

When Li Daniu said this, she remembered.

Now the food delivered by the two of them is indeed not as fresh as before, and the quantity is less than before.

It's not so fresh, she understands, after all, the weather is hot, and some of the moisture of the vegetables will be evaporated.

The small number of them, she really didn't pay attention to it before.

After all, she can't make much money in the area of farm vegetables.

At present, she mainly relies on preserved eggs for the income of restaurants and restaurants.

Yes, after the summer, her preserved egg business is getting better and better.

The preserved eggs she made before were not enough to sell.

Recently, we have been increasing the purchase of eggs and duck eggs, just to make more preserved eggs to sell.

Now she not only asks Li Daniu and her family to help her collect eggs, but she will also go to the West Market to collect eggs in batches.

Then, in the afternoon, I spend a lot of time making the mud of the preserved eggs, and then the preserved eggs.

There are already a lot of jars for preserved eggs in the utility room, and when the preserved eggs are cooked, they can all be taken to restaurants and restaurants for money.

The beauty saw that she collected more and more eggs every day, and mentioned to her that she should control the quantity.

But she didn't take it too seriously.

As long as it is before the winter, her preserved eggs are almost not sold.

After winter, she is not afraid, if there are too many goods, she will take her little sister to the street to set up a stall to sell preserved egg porridge.

It just so happens that I don't make much money selling baskets and straw sandals, so it's not impossible to free up my hands to do something else.

Retracting his thoughts, Qin Xiao looked at Li Daniu.

"I see that there are fewer people selling farmhouse vegetables in the market now, and the price of vegetables has risen a bit." Opening.

"That's it, Ming'er, when I go to deliver the goods, I'll talk to Laifulou. Let's see if we can increase the price of the dishes. In this way, we can follow along. ”

Li Daniu nodded hurriedly.

Qin Xiaoyao chatted with Li Daniu for a while.

After calculating the accounts of her and Li Daniu in the last ten days, she gave her the money before sending her away.

At this time, the sun was already shining outside, and when he came to the courtyard, under the scorching sun, Qin Xiaoyao almost felt that his skin was tingling with sunburn.

"Otherwise, let's wait until the evening. On this day, I don't feel at ease when you go back alone. Qin Xiaoyao said, grabbing Li Daniu.
