Chapter 195: Digging a River Channel

Li Yu sent them away, started working again, and after training in the afternoon, he took the men to work together.

Put the dried vegetables in a bag, take them out in winter and soak them in advance, and stir-fry the meat is also a dish, which is stronger than eating radish and tofu in the sky.

The aunts also dried radishes and made them into pickles of various flavors, which are shelf-stable and delicious.

There are also other pickles that are pickled and pickled, plus sauces of various flavors.

"Yu'er, it seems that it is winter, and those few pieces of land will be bloomed to be fertilized, and it will be okay to plant vegetables in the spring of next year."

"I'll arrange it later."

"Are you going to load the water truck?"

Aunt Qi thought of this and asked.

"Yes, I'll go the day after tomorrow, it's all arranged."

"Ready to eat?"

"Steward Liu said that he was looking for someone to do and give some money."

"Then our family also contributes, today and some multigrain noodles steamed steamed buns, I am afraid that there are too many people to eat, if you want to do it, you will do it thoroughly, not to mention anything else, our family has to eat when they go to work."

"Cheng, do you want me to help?"

"You won't get it, you go and let them cut some pork, and then smoke some bacon for storage."

"Okay."

Li Yu took everyone to work, there is still a lot of work in Zhuangzi, just one or two people can't finish it, the whole family, the aunts have come to work, and there are no idlers at home.

After lunch, Li Yu took his younger brothers and sisters back to the house at dawn.

I set off early the next morning with my younger brothers and sisters, and I also took my brother and a group of family members.

Meet with Liu's stewards and go to dig the river.

His family still has Zhuangzi downstream, but the river is too narrow, there is almost no water, and it is not very convenient, so Li Yu said that he would dig the river for the villagers, and he would easily get his own family affairs and solve some practical difficulties for the villagers.

Then press the water wheel on the node, and there will be water during the dry season.

"When you go out, you have to listen to the command, don't run around by yourself, you can't find it if you get lost, follow the master to learn farming, and I will take the test after the master's exam."

"Yes."

Today, I take my younger siblings to see the suffering of the world, learn about farming, and see what a real refugee is like.

Li Yu swept around and saw a younger brother wearing satin clothes, and couldn't help frowning, "Xiao Jiu, didn't I tell you to change into coarse cloth clothes, why are you still wearing this?" ”

"I woke up late and didn't have time to ......"

The boy of the Li family went to the outer courtyard at the age of six, and the mother took care of less, and the masters did not let everything be asked, and the children learned Zhang Luo by themselves to exercise their independence.

"Then you stay."

"Don't, sister, I'll change it now."

"Hurry up, I won't wait for you after the hour."

As soon as Xiao Jiu heard this, Ma ran away to find clothes.

They all changed into ordinary plain cloth clothes of the peasants, which were rough and did not mean to show off their wealth.

Lest they arouse the resentment of the refugees, and do not wait to see them, and if they go to work and wear silk and satin, they are not as strong as this plain cloth.

"I'm back."

Xiao Jiu borrowed a suit of clothes, shoes and socks from the servant, and ran out of breath.

"Okay, let's go."

There are a lot of children today, and there are more people with them, mainly because I am afraid that the children will run away.

The brothers carry sticks to protect them, and they work to protect their younger siblings.

The children were very happy and chattered non-stop.

Li Yu rode on a horse and walked with everyone.

"Big sister, I want to ride a horse too."

A sweet-looking girl sat in the carriage and waved to her sister.

"You're not afraid of falling?"

Li Yu smiled at his sister.

"Don't be afraid, my sister will teach me."

Little Sixteen stretched out his arms to his sister and coquettishly.

"Come on."

Li Yuyi hugged her sister and sat on her horse, and taught her to hold the reins tightly, her legs should be relaxed, not too nervous, it will make the horse uncomfortable and tense.

Little Sixteen giggled happily, kicked his calves, and shouted rack, rack in his mouth.

"Eldest sister, I want to learn to ride a horse, can you teach me well."

"I really want to learn, okay, I'll teach you if I'm not afraid of falling."

Li Yu is very fond of her younger siblings, and she does everything she can to meet the requirements.

"The eldest sister is the best."

Little Sixteen giggled happily.

They came to the downstream river, where many refugees had already dug and there were people directing on the side.

Li Yu got off the horse and hugged her sister down.

"Everyone is ready to start working, the little ones bring water and food, they are not allowed to run around, the big ones are looking at the small ones, and they are not allowed to leave my sight."

"Yes."

The children began to rejoice happily.

Li Yu took her brothers to work together, and she was in charge of Zhang Luo's command.

There are also cooks who also come to boil water to prepare for cooking, and they will eat in a while, and bring some ready-made food, multigrain steamed buns that have been steamed before, and millet porridge.

Xiao Sixteen pulled the corner of Li Yu's clothes with some fear.

"What's the matter, aren't you here to play?"

"Sister, they're so thin, I'm ...... A little scared. ”

"That's hungry, it's all pitiful, you are the kindest child, don't be afraid, follow your brother to fetch water, if you are afraid to watch from afar, don't get too close."

"Hmm."

"If you don't want to go, follow your sister, don't run around."

"Okay."

Sixteen is only seven years old, and he is young and timid.

Li Yu did not force her sister to contact refugees, in fact, she did not want her younger brothers and sisters to be too kind, refugees also have bad people, and they must keep a certain distance when doing good.

At home, I explained in advance that Xie Fuzi taught very well, and the children fetched water and asked the servants to bring water to the refugees, and he would not rush over to get together with the refugees.

Li Yu asked people to raise the Li family's military flag, so that people could know who was helping them.

took his brothers to set up the waterwheel, and the village chief and Steward Liu came over to help.

"Village chief, how long will it take for the downstream river to be dug up?"

"It's going to take a month to say the least."

"It's almost freezing, can it work?"

"It's really too late to dig this year, there's no way, I'm in a hurry to build a house before, otherwise people won't have a place to live, and I can't sleep in the field when it's cold, even if it's a little hard, I'm not afraid of hard work."

The village chief explained.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, many villagers have no money, they have to build a house first, but also have to open up wasteland and reclaim land, there are many things like cattle hair, it is not easy to do.

"Okay, work hard, let's work together, who else doesn't have a house to live in, how much worse?"

"It's a little worse."

"We cut some wood and we all worked together to get a warm house before it gets cold."

"You are very good."

At noon, they lined up one by one to eat, and Steward Liu sent someone to deliver the meal, and the Li family made another one, and they were full.

There is a dish with meat, as well as steamed bread, millet porridge and pickles, and hot water is available at any time.

Li Yu observed and instructed his housekeeper, "Ming'er began to boil bone broth, plus windproof and cold-proof medicinal materials, and find another doctor to come over, I'm afraid that these people will get sick after a long time." ”

"Cheng, I'll arrange it."

Refugees have survived hunger, their bodies are already weak, they look strong but they are actually very weak, and they are easy to get sick if they do physical work, so preventive measures must be taken well.
