Gu Dagen came to work in the fields as usual.

Unexpectedly, he saw a group of people surrounding his house from a distance, as if they were watching the excitement, pointing and talking about something.

Gu Dagen sighed in his heart.

He's familiar with this posture!

Any man in the village who beats his wife, whose daughter-in-law returns to her parents' house, or whose chicken is stolen by a weasel, can see such a large group of people.

Mostly not a good thing!

Gu Dagen's face was anxious, and his steps sped up a lot.

What can happen in the field?

With a distance of just a few hundred meters, Gu Dagen had already thought of countless worst-case scenarios in his heart.

As soon as he got closer, the originally noisy sound suddenly became clear.

"That's right, right?"

"I've been planting land for decades, and I can see the harvest at a glance, how can I be wrong?"

"Don't say it, take a closer look at the ears of wheat in the Gu family's field, they are bigger and fuller."

"It's obvious to me that it's been too hot lately, and I'm busy carrying water to water the ground, but I haven't noticed it."

Gu Dagen was full of doubts.

He wanted to squeeze in to have a look, but he was blocked by the crowd watching the excitement, and he couldn't squeeze in at all!

Gu Dagen was in a hurry, and pulled away the crowd with his hands: "Let me go, let me in!" ”

Old Man Gu, who was half a beat behind, also caught up and hurriedly helped.

The two of them worked hard to finally squeeze in, and when they looked at it, their home was fine, and nothing happened!

Old Man Gu and Gu Dagen breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Before they could catch their breath, the two of them were surrounded by a group of people and asked questions.

Gu Dagen and the old man were both a little confused.

What is the size of their ears?

Do you look more energetic than others?

What are their secrets?

Is this talking about the land that their family cultivates every day?

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Dazhu hurriedly pointed to his own land: "If you don't believe it, see for yourself!" ”

The two of them probed at the same time, their eyes were like searchlights, comparing the situation back and forth.

At first glance, it seems that there is really no difference, after all, the ears of wheat all look the same.

But as long as you compare it a little carefully, you can still find the difference.

Gu Dagen smiled from ear to ear, and he scratched his head: "It seems to be really energetic!" ”

Old Man Gu also smiled, and patted his son's back excitedly: "Why didn't we notice it before, these ears of wheat are like big fat boys, they are really strong!" ”

In the village, if you want to say who has the most face, not the village chief, or a strong man who can win in a fight, it must be the person who is the most powerful farmer and harvests the most every year.

If the harvest comes out on top, it will inevitably become the object of worship of the whole village.

Most people will bring food, gifts, and harvests to exchange for good seeds!

Thinking of this, Old Man Gu was even happier.

Although he didn't know what the changes in his land were, this was the land he served!

Gu Zhang brought water to chase after Gu Dagen, and what he saw was this scene.

Discovered so quickly?

He had thought he wouldn't be noticed until at least after the grouting period was over.

Gu Zhang was small, so he found a gap in the pile of people and passed through.

He handed the kettle to Gu Dagen: "Dad, you forgot to take the water." ”

Gu Zhang just caught up and delivered things, but people still had to go to the academy to study, so they were wearing new clothes.

Gu Zhang was originally white, even if he was playing outside these days, he didn't tan much, but because of exercise, the whole person looked more energetic.

Standing in front of a field of vibrant wheat ears makes your eyes feel soothed when you look at it.

Da Zhu boasted: "Xiao Shi's new clothes are good, and he looks blessed." ”

Speaking of good fortune, he casually joked: "Maybe the ears of wheat grow like this, it is a blessing stained with small stones." ”

Dazhu likes to joke like this, but the villagers who want to ask the trick really have a lot of people looking down at the children who are just up to their waists.

Gu Zhang: !

Can he say that Uncle Dazhu's mouth is 100% open?

Can you say it all in one sentence?

Of all of them, point out the most unlikely truth about him at once.

Gu Zhang's eyes flashed with thought, and he quickly patted his chest and said confidently: "Uncle Dazhu, you guessed too right, of course it's my credit." ”

"Hahahahaha~"

A group of people burst into laughter, but no one believed it.

Gu Zhang was satisfied, people are like this, if they are allowed to guess by themselves, let them discover clues, they may still suspect him, after all, people trust their own judgment and discovery the most.

But as soon as he took the initiative to stand up and admit it, no one would think about him anymore.

"Little rocks are really good at joking."

"You're not as tall as this wheat, are you? Hahahaha~"

A black line appeared on Gu Zhang's forehead, and others were still taller than Maizi!

"Seriously, why do these ears of wheat grow so well?" Village Chief Gu, who was late, couldn't help but wonder and asked directly.

Gu Dagen and Old Man Gu glanced at each other, "What did you do?" "Don't you know what I did?"

Old Man Gu didn't care so much, he said proudly: "Then I must take care of it well." ”

Gu Dagen was a little more reserved, and he said modestly: "Maybe it just looks good, but it's hard to say if it's confiscated." ”

He said modest words in his mouth, and the muscles on his face stiffened with laughter.

I didn't ask why.

Since this day, there have been many people walking around Gujiatian.

They look at the head office for themselves, right?

After all, farming is not planted in the house, anyone can watch it.

Come and take a look when you carry water.

Come and take a look during the break.

Even when eating, I am willing to hold the sea bowl, sit on the ridge and eat, and wonder why I can grow so well while eating?

Even those who are idle have made bets, betting on the production capacity of the mu in Gu's field.

But it didn't take long for the excitement to dissipate half.

It's getting hot day by day, this year is particularly strange, the rain is very little, in recent days, not a drop of rain has fallen, but it also encountered the filling period when the ears of wheat need water the most.

The people in the village don't know what the filling period is, but the experience passed down from generation to generation tells them that the wheat at this time is watered more.

If there is not enough water, even if it does not die, the yield will drop dramatically.

They don't make money from food, they live on food!

There is no shortage of water in Yonghe Village, and there is a river nearby, which is said to be a tributary of a large river.

With this river, the people in the village don't have to worry about the wheat drying up and dying because of lack of water, but the wheat is exactly when it needs water, and if it doesn't rain, it has to be replenished by manpower.

These days, the villagers of Yonghe Village have gone to the river to fetch water to water the land, the distance of the river is not too far, but it is tiring enough.

One acre of land is the size of a basketball court and a half, and relying on manual water to water it can simply exhaust people to death.

The thin flat shoulder on the shoulder, pressing the heavy two buckets of water, can grind the shoulders out of the blood after going back and forth too many times.

After two more trips, the sweat flowed straight down, and my whole body was soaked, and my face was tanned and red.

What's even more uncomfortable is that the sweat soaked into the wound on the shoulder is a continuous tingling pain, and every step is torture.

In just a few days, the nearby villages were filled with mourning.

"It hurts, it hurts, don't lift my arm."

"Sss

Gu Dagen couldn't avoid it.

When I got home and undressed myself, I was covered in redness, swelling and wear on my shoulders.

Gu Zhang only saw it once, and he was distressed.

He also went to the river to see, perhaps for safety, Yonghe Village and nearby villages were built on higher ground, and it was impossible to dig ditches to bring water over.

In the past two days, he took out the dried mung beans that his family had gone to the mountains to pick last fall, and exchanged some sugar cane to cook together.

After cooking, the boiled cane is thrown into the pigsty.

The pig bowed his head and arched, screamed excitedly, and ate it in three or two bites.

The mung bean soup cooked in this way tastes no less than the soup made from rock sugar.

At least Gu Zhang felt very satisfied, sweet, it could relieve the heat and replenish sugar, and he could drink several bowls in one go.

Every day at dusk, Gu Dagen and Old Man Gu came back, looking forward to this cool mung bean soup.

"Gollum Gurg~"

Gu Dagen raised his head as he held the bowl and drank it, not even letting go of the last drop, and drank several bowls in a row, only then did he feel more comfortable.

Old man Gu is better, he is responsible for watering in the field, and the work of carrying the water back is all done by Gu Dagen, but he is also very tired.

Old Man Gu looked at the sky without many clouds, couldn't help but sigh, and said worriedly: "God is really a toss, why doesn't it rain at all." ”

Gu Dagen didn't shout pain and tiredness, but also a little worried: "A few days ago, the wheat in the field looked at the spirit, I originally thought that this year was a bumper year. ”

He moved his shoulders slightly, and the soreness, numbness, swelling and pain surged up like a tsunami, and his face changed suddenly, he really didn't know if he could survive to the end.

Just as he was annoyed, a familiar voice sounded in his ears: "I have thought of a way to let the water flow into our field by itself." ”
