Chapter 466: Firm
"I know, I'll take the consequences."
After returning from the county government, Accountant Wu went to a friend's place again, and he knew what was going on today.
However, Wu Accountant didn't hold a grudge against this matter, after all, if Li Miaomiao hadn't given him words about this matter, he wouldn't have the bottom in his heart, and the reason why he made such a decision was that he had suffered a drought when he was a child, and that time really made him remember it vividly, and he almost couldn't survive.
Returning from the county, Accountant Wu walked around the village again, and went to see a few water sources, and saw that some small water sources had disappeared directly, and the remaining larger river, which had a lot of water at this time in previous years, was flowing shallowly, and it couldn't last long.
Thinking about what Li Miaomiao said, Accountant Wu planned to organize a general meeting to inform all households to store water, and go to the mountains to find water sources to prepare for the next drought.
Anyway, you can still see water everywhere now, don't really get to the time when the water sources are exhausted, Accountant Wu can't imagine the drought back then.
There was a meeting in the village, and everyone hurried to the threshing field and talked about it.
"I don't know what's going on? The captain went to the county seat today, should there be any instructions from above? You said that it would be too bad to give up the rice seedlings in the field, maybe the captain was called for this."
"I'm too, I can't let the captain mess around, isn't this a fool, good rice seedlings, just ruined, where is it accurate to say that it doesn't rain this day."
"Not necessarily, I think the captain's approach is reasonable, the water in the river is getting less and less, there is not enough water for so many fields to irrigate, especially rice, we need more water, even if we work hard to irrigate, we may not be able to keep it, it is better to keep the miscellaneous grains in the field according to what the captain said."
Everyone knows that coarse grains are relatively easy to grow, not to mention that this year's cereals are of different varieties, and the seedlings are also early, so they will definitely be harvested early, as long as the irrigation is good, they can keep the rations of the big guys in the village, at least they will not starve to death.
"Be quiet!"
"I asked you to come here today because I have two things to say, one is to store water. Everyone also knows that it has not rained for so long, the weather is getting drier and drier, in my experience, I am afraid that there is a big drought, everyone should prepare early, take advantage of the present, although there is not much water in the river and stream, but there is still water, take out the jars and jars at home, and save more water. When it's a real drought, even a bowl of water is precious."
"Captain, it won't come to this point, will it?"
Although everyone thinks that there may be a drought this year, they all have a fluke mentality, and they feel that it is too exaggerated to hear Accountant Wu's arrangement. Even if it doesn't rain for a while, in a few days, the rain will always fall, and it will come to this point.
"Why is it not to this point, I advise everyone not to take chances, you should be diligent, it doesn't matter if you find a way to store more water, even if there is no drought, it is just a hard work, but in case of drought, the stored water will become life-saving water. Don't believe what I say, when I was seven years old, there was a drought, and so many people died at that time, even a bowl of water was very precious, and that year, I almost died."
Everyone supported Accountant Wu to say this, and other people they had vaguely heard that the old people in the village, and even more experienced the drought themselves, and when Accountant Wu mentioned it, his face changed.
"This, if it's really the same as back then, then it's going to happen."
"This year's situation is really similar to back then, they have done so much. How many people didn't survive that year, just because there was no water, the crops in the field were gone, there was no harvest, there was no water to drink, and they were hungry."
There were young people who didn't know about the drought, and when they were told by the old people in the village, they were all silent, and they didn't question Accountant Wu's decision.
"I hope God will be merciful, not like that."
"This kind of thing, what's the use of us begging God, it's better to tell the captain, prepare early, while the water is not dry yet, save more at home, and it will save lives when it comes to the critical time."
"Yes, not only water, but also food, whatever it is, prepare some, and in times of drought there is a shortage of everything."
Accountant Wu saw that everyone could finally listen to his words and pay attention to it, and he was also a little relieved, as long as everyone could listen to him and do what he said, even if there was a few years of drought, the chance of surviving it would be a little more.
Especially this time, Hong Lim Village had another bumper harvest last year because of the soap factory, and most of the families have a lot of grain stored in their warehouses.
This is thanks to the daughter-in-law of Guoan, who listened to her words at that time, and most of them did not sell grain, but stored it in the granary.
Now the price of food has risen everywhere, and this is just the beginning, if there is a real drought, the price of food will only keep rising, and then the big guys in the village will not be able to buy food at all.
Accountant Wu was not the only one who experienced the drought disaster, but the old people of the year remembered it and told their experiences.
"Okay, the first thing you know is that you do your best, not for me, but for yourself. And the second one, from tomorrow, select a few people to go into the mountains with me, and go to the mountains to look for water, there is not much water in the river, and it will not last long, so we must plan early."
Accountant Wu announced the decision, and the people of the entire Hong Lim village moved.
It's the Pei family's big house, and it's gloomy at this time
"You said that you had to sell the food you got in the first place, but now it's good, the price of food outside is so high, and it looks like it has been rising again, how can we live in the future."
"You don't give me any foolishness, you didn't sell food at that time, and now it's my fault."
"Alright, what's the use of you complaining to each other, Mom and Dad, now we have to find a way to get food, otherwise if there is a drought, we will all starve to death."
Not to mention how Dafang wants to get food, the Li family's side is also ready to get up after getting the news conveyed by Pei Guoqiang.
Originally, they were not unprepared, after all, Li Miaomiao said something at that time, and they listened to it, but it was not so sufficient, and now they try to prepare everything they need.
Here, Luo Shaoze moved his things here
"I've been living here since this year, and I don't want to see those hypocritical faces."
Saying this, Luo Shaoze seemed to think of something: "Miao Miao, you did it too right this time, transform the garden into a vegetable garden, don't you see the benefits, don't talk about such watery vegetables outside, even ordinary vegetables, you can't grab them, even if you have a supply at home, it's much worse than before."
