Lin Fangzi bit his lip, frowned, and thought for a long time, before he explained: "Mr. only taught me to recognize words, but he didn't teach me the meaning of words!" ”

"However, I venture to guess that this should be saying that there is no water!"

Jiang Yan listened to the conversation between the two, only felt that it was in the clouds, and sighed in her heart that the two of them could know words, and they were already rare cultural people in this mountain village!

Hearing the two children reading again, their faces were full of seriousness, and they felt that the village chief's family had extraordinary vision, and they had enlightened several children to read early.

She wondered if she would have to find time to send her children to read and write.

Not to mention being a big official in the imperial examination, as long as you are literate and hyphenated, it is easier to do anything.

She walked into the house and curiously leaned in to take a look, and suddenly it was like a lightning strike! Stiffly looked at the confident faces of the two fathers and sons, and for a while they were like a fish in their throats, this well is too deep, or too shallow, and the waterway is changing, then there is no water!

This means that if the well is dug too deep or too shallow, and the underground waterway changes its route, the well will not be able to produce water!

Forget if you make a mistake, you can read a few words!

When the village chief saw Jiang Yan, he said with a smile: "Aunt Jiang is here, let you laugh, Fang Zi knows a lot of words, I will follow him to learn a few, this kid's brain is turning fast, and he knows a lot of words, he will definitely be able to take over my class in the future!" ”

The corners of Jiang Yan's mouth twitched, and she couldn't speak for a while, so she had to laugh a few times: "Fang Zi is really amazing!" ”

Lin Fangzi instantly raised his head and straightened his chest, and his straight back made him straighten up a lot in an instant: "I can still write!" Except for your eldest nephew Lin Wenhan in our village, I am the only one who can read! ”

Looking at his confident to the point of bursting with pride, and his chin to be so arrogant, Jiang Yan took a few deep breaths and frantically suppressed his urge to correct and complain!

She turned her head to the village chief and said, "Uncle Lin, this time I came here to give you the fifty copper plates I owed you before, and I have something important to tell you." ”

Jiang Yan took out the copper plate that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it over, without accident, she was taken by Fang Zi, and in front of the two of them, she began to count them one by one, for fear of counting wrongly, and rubbed the fifty copper plates over and over again.

Jiang Yan is glad that at least this stupid kid can still count from one to fifty!

The village chief put down the book in his hand, carefully put it in the drawer, beckoned Jiang Yan to sit down, and asked her if there was anything else.

"When I went up the mountain today, I found water in the mountain." Jiang Yan carefully explained what had happened.

Seeing that the village chief looked incredulous, he continued: "When I entered the mountains before, I was curious, why are there mushrooms and wild vegetables in the mountains on this dry day, and the vegetation is green, but I didn't expect that there is really water. ”

"The amount of water should be huge, if we can bring the water from the mountains down, the village will not have to worry about running off the water, and if we have the energy, maybe the crops in the fields can be saved."

The village chief's pupils dilated, and he stood up suddenly: "Aunt Jiang!" That's not a lie! How can there be water! Moreover, even if there is really water in the mountains! How can it be brought down? ”

Linjia Village has lived here for generations, not to mention thousands of years, but there must have been hundreds of years, but no one has ever found water in the mountains......

Jiang Yan didn't say much, but said sincerely: "If you don't find it, it doesn't mean that you don't, otherwise how can the animals and plants on the mountain live?" As for how to lead it down, you have to think of a way! Uncle Lin, think about it, if you believe me, I'll take you to the mountains to have a look! ”

After Jiang Yan finished speaking, she and the village elder's wife changed the bowl with braised meat and left, and on the way they met Lin Bei Lin Feng, who sent braised meat to the puppy's house, took antipyretics, and slept again, the little guy was already a lot more energetic.

After the family finished eating, it was already dark, Jiang Yan burned a pile of firewood in the yard, and the family began to rub the green leaves hard to make tomorrow's cold tofu.

It's not early, Jiang Yan and the family are busy preparing for tomorrow's stall to eat, and the brothers are chasing me, and they are very busy.

And the village chief, on his side, was still thinking about what Jiang Yan said, because of this, he didn't have the heart to eat dinner.

After a while, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open, and a figure came in with an empty bucket, and opened his mouth to shout, "Oh no! Oh no! Father! Big things are wrong! The last two wells left in the village are no longer watering! ”

The person who came was Lin Fangzi's brother, Lin Ziyue, the eldest son of the village chief, Lin Ziyue went to carry water after dinner, but he never thought that the well would not produce water!

A total of five wells were dug in Linjia Village, two were stopped earlier, and then one well also dried up, leaving the last two wells for the whole village to eat, but I didn't expect that all the well water is out of water today!

When the village elder's wife and Lin Ziyue's daughter-in-law heard this, the two immediately burst into tears.

There is no harvest in the field, and the big guy can still go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, but it is really not good, gnawing the bark and chewing the grass roots, after all, the person will not die of hunger, but there is no water, it is really a god's life!

The village chief listened to the desperate cries of his wife and eldest daughter-in-law, sighed and said, "It seems that you can only bet on the mountains and rivers that Aunt Jiang said!" If it is true, there is still hope for Linjia Village! ”

"Dad, do you really want to believe that shrew? You can't believe what she says! I borrowed our firewood knife last year, but I haven't paid it back yet! ”

Lin Fangzi shook his head again and again, saying that he couldn't believe Jiang Yan, even if Jiang Yan returned the copper plate and brought the pig into the water! But this can't change his deep-rooted impression of Jiang Yan.

Village Chief Lin's face changed, and he said angrily: "You little family is angry!" I remember all these old sesame seeds and rotten grains! I said that the firewood knife was given to Dongzi's family. ”

"It's not like she hasn't paid it back! You can't pull off the old face to ask for it! ”

"You stinky boy! If Lao Tzu hadn't seen that you knew two words, your teeth and bones would have been crooked! Don't talk about these useless things, and go to Aunt Jiang's house with me tomorrow. ”

As soon as the morning dawned, the Lin family got up early to wash up and have breakfast, Jiang Yan took a few brothers to get on the ox cart, this time she took Lin Feng with her, and after the last incident, she never dared to stay at home again.

The sun gradually rose, and Jiang Yan and her five sons finally arrived at the gate of the town.

"Uncle Gui, we will still go back to the village at noon, and I hope you will wait for us a little longer."

Jiang Yan instructed Lin Gui, mainly because there were only six people in their family today, she was afraid that there would be no one else, Lin Gui would go home early, and she was too lazy to go back on foot after such a long journey!

Looks like you'll have to work hard to earn money and buy an ox cart!

Lin Gui naturally nodded again and again, he can earn 12 yuan for a trip between the mother and son, which is a big business!

Because there were no extra pots, I only made two pots and one pot of cold tofu last night, and the two pots were brought to the town to sell, and the pot was kept for my own consumption.

Let a few sons set up stalls, Jiang Yan went to buy the ingredients she needed, and today she bought more eggs and more meat foam.

She asked Lin Dong to build a small fire pit, bought a larger earthen pot, and cooked a pot of brown rice porridge in it, many people can't eat enough just to eat a rice powder, but in addition to adding wowotou, in addition to the increase in cost, it also increases labor, thinking about it, Jiang Yan still decided to add a brown rice porridge.

The first wave of eating rice rolls was still some big men resting under the big trees, and there were a few familiar faces among them, knowing that eating rice rolls today would give a bowl of white porridge, and everyone came to have one.
