After the new noodles were cooked, Xia Shi put the noodles that had been served back into the pot, and the family, a big bowl, ate to their heart's content.

After eating, Hua Qingshan looked at the remaining half of the bucket of water, and was secretly planning to get up early tomorrow to go to the mountain stream to fetch water, Hua Yan came to his side and begged him to cut some bamboo and come back and make more bamboo tubes.

There are several large water bladders at home, and there are also jars for water, Hua Qingshan felt that it was useless to make bamboo tubes, but when he saw his daughter speak, he still took a machete, and immediately went to the bamboo forest by moonlight.

Hua Qingshan worked very quickly, after moving a big bamboo back, sawed into a bamboo tube and a lid section by section, and then used a knife to cut off a circle in the bamboo tube and the edge of the outside of the lid, and after stuffing it in, it was tightly sealed, and the sealing was very good.

In less than half an hour, the five bamboo tubes were ready.

Hua Yan put those bamboo tubes at the root of the wall, and praised his father, Hua Qingshan, who was boasting, couldn't close his mouth with a smile, if it wasn't for Hua Yan to stop him and say that it was enough, he almost went to cut two bamboos and came back.

And when it was late at night, Hua Yan got up again, lightly packed all the bamboo tubes into the space, and then found a large vat that was no longer used, and a shovel, and used the space to go to the mountain again.

With the help of the mountain stream, all the bamboo tubes were cleaned inside and out, filled with water and put back into the space.

Then he took out the two jars that had been put in, poured out the water inside, washed them carefully, and then filled them with water and put them back in.

As for the big tank, Hua Yan used buckets to get water, and filled the vat bucket by bucket.

This tank was used to fill water before, and almost every household has it, but the water that can be fetched behind is getting less and less, so naturally it is not needed.

Although it is a little strange to say that the good tank suddenly disappeared, but they can't take care of these things when they escape from the famine and move, and they won't be too obsessed with the Xia family.

What's more, Hua Yan wanted to try one thing.

She had tried to place the lit candle in the space before, and found that the candle would not go out, but would continue to burn.

In other words, there may be oxygen in the space, and if so, can it also be used to grow vegetables in the space, or to feed animals?

There are really no conditions for feeding animals now, but if you can grow vegetables, you can try it.

After dinner, she took advantage of Hua Qingshan to cut bamboo, and Xia was cleaning up her things, and turned out some seeds from the cloth bag hanging on the kitchen wall.

It should be radish and cabbage, which are the seeds left over from last year, but this year's drought has intensified, and even drinking water has become a problem, so naturally there is no way to plant again.

Hua Yan dug up some soil with a shovel, piled it in the corner of the space, and then entered the space, planted the seeds, and watered some water.

Of course, all this is just her attempt, but now, although she has rice and noodles, she can guarantee that she will not starve to death for the time being, but if she eats the staple food next, she is afraid that no matter how fine the rice and noodles are, she can't stand it.

After doing this, Hua Yan went down the mountain and went home, this time she did not secretly add water to the bucket, but took out a jar full of water and all the bamboo tubes, and put them in the yard, planning to directly say that it was her own water.

After all, there is more water in the bucket, and such a thing is okay at one time, but if there are too many times, it will inevitably make people feel strange and scared.

Moreover, if you don't take out this water in a righteous and bright way, I'm afraid that Hua Qingshan will insist on going up the mountain.

Of course, there is a reason for this.

His daughter worked hard and risked the water to get back, if the He family wanted to take advantage, Hua Qingshan, even if he was a bad person, at least he would have more concerns.

It turned out that Hua Yan was right, early the next morning, Hua Qingshan and his wife looked at the jar and bamboo tube filled with water in the courtyard, and learned that Hua Yan used the bamboo tube to beat it back little by little, and their eyes were red.

While vigorously confirming that Hua Yan was not injured, he was distressed that Hua Yan must have suffered a lot of water when he brought back so much water.

And Hua Yan comforted him for a while before Hua Qingshan and his wife recovered.

The family cheered up and began to pack their belongings for escape.

The day passed quickly, and the next morning, Hua Qingshan put everything on the wooden cart, took one last look at the courtyard, and then pushed the cart and set off to meet the people of the village.

He and Mrs. Hua are also ready, and Hua Dashan and Hua Dabao each pushed a wooden cart, which was full of them.

As soon as he saw Hua Qingshan and his family coming, He immediately stepped forward with a smile.

"Second brother, younger brother and sister."

Seeing He's smile, Hua Qingshan and his wife both chuckled, only feeling that something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next moment, He proposed that their wooden cart was bigger and stronger, so that Hua Qingshan could pour all the prepared water into the big jar on their car, which would be safer.

As for the water, it is natural for the two families to drink it together.

"Sister-in-law, forget it, I have a lot of strength, and there is no problem with pushing a cart."

On the wooden cart pushed by Hua Dashan, although the jar was well sealed and nothing could be seen, Hua Qingshan naturally understood what his sister-in-law had in mind.

I'm afraid that their family doesn't have much water at all, so they want to mix it up and use it.

"Second brother, now that we have decided to go together, that is a family, you see it like this, I'm afraid that my mother will be unhappy when she looks at it." He carried Mrs. Hua out.

As for He's purpose, Mrs. Hua is like a mirror, but she is not ambiguous in helping her eldest son take advantage.

"Since your sister-in-law has said so, what are you still rubbing, just fall together."

If it was in normal times, Hua Qingshan would have endured it, but this water was beaten by Hua Yan, and he was still a little reluctant in his heart.

"Mother, this ......"

"Dad, since the eldest mother said that the family should not see each other, then we will listen to her." Hua Yan interrupted Hua Qingshan's words, and stepped forward with a smile, "It's just that the eldest lady is telling the truth, right?" ”

"Naturally." He nodded and spoke, but he couldn't help but look at Hua Yan with some suspicion.

This girl is not sexual.

Seeing He's nod, Hua Yan walked directly to the car pushed by Hua Dabao and picked up a cloth bag containing steamed buns on it.

"What do you do!"

He hurriedly went to grab it, but Hua Yan easily dodged it, and then untied his pocket and divided the mixed noodles for the family.

"Didn't my aunt say, the family doesn't have to see outside, our family is busy fetching water in the morning, but we haven't eaten a bite yet. Since the water should be drunk together, how many of these buns should we eat is not too much, right? ”
