Chapter 102: Nuobao has worked hard

At this time, the surrounding villages were all shrouded in panic.

After so many years of drought, they had experienced wells drying up before, but that was only in midsummer.

And after a day or two of drying up, at least one or two buckets of water would still flow up, enough for the villagers to quench their thirst.

At the moment, the wells in each village and each household have dried up so badly that everyone knelt down and cried, begging for mercy from God.

Little Nuobao could hear their voices, but he knew that begging was useless.

Although God has the virtue of loving life, he also believes in cause and effect. This kind of predicament cannot be solved by praying to God.

The Jiang family has no well.

On weekdays, they draw water from the village well for food and daily necessities.

Now there is only a small half tank of water left in the house. The whole family is very frugal. They are reluctant to use a basin even for washing their faces. They just wet a cloth about 70% and wipe their faces with it.

Seeing this, Xiao Nuobao quickly adjusted some water supply and filled the tank.

They had to solve the problem of their own water first.

In the evening, Feng was about to get water to cook porridge. As soon as she opened the lid of the tank, her eyes lit up with joy.

The water tank, which was originally half left, was now full. With a light scoop of water from the ladle, the water was about to overflow.

Feng looked at the little guy in the inner room, and her heart felt like a weight had been weighed down, and she felt at ease all of a sudden.

With this little baby, the family can really solve any problem. How can their family be so blessed!

Knowing that her mother had guessed that it was her, Xiao Nuobao simply did not hide it. She instructed her mother to wash another large vat.

Fill both vats together.

One vat was used for eating and drinking, and the other was used for washing. With her protection in the drought year, the whole family could still use water freely.

Of course, there were many people at Fushantang, and they could not forget to take care of them.

Jiang Fengnian would carry seven or eight buckets from home every day, which was enough for the elderly to wash themselves.

Seeing that the water vat was never empty, except for Feng, Jiang Fengnian, Li Qiqiao and Xiao Fengmiao all guessed that it was their sister who did it. They were secretly happy in their hearts and enjoyed this rare water source in the drought year.

Although Jiang Fenghu was suspicious, he saw that his mother and the others were smiling and silent, and he guessed most of it, so he stopped muttering.

Only Sun Chunxue was a fool. She would be surprised every morning when she opened the water tank.

"Oh my god, why is this tank full again? We clearly used so much water yesterday. Am I dazzled?"

"It's enough to use the water. No one else asked, only you." Feng said, "Don't talk nonsense when you go to Fushan Hall later, otherwise you won't get your salary this month." After

taking care of her own family, Xiao Nuobao didn't forget the village.

Anyway, her water supply pool was still full. After using it for a few days, not much water was used.

It was estimated that it was enough for the whole village.

So Xiao Nuobao planned to draw water from the well to solve the water problem of the whole village.

But the well cannot store water. Once the water is poured in, it will accumulate in the ground in a short time and it will be difficult to get it up again.

Xiao Nuobao had to work harder and control the water flow so that it would temporarily stay in the center of the well and not flow underground.

But this would take some time and be very tiring.

She couldn't do this for twelve hours a day, so she called a village meeting to inform everyone: "I have a way to make the well water surge, but it can only last for one hour. Let's go to the village well to fetch water at noon every day." Several

villagers had been out of water for a long time and their lips were dry and cracked. When they heard this, they thought they could survive.

They all hurried home to get buckets and lined up early.

By noon, Xiao Nuobao had enough water and food, and she was full of energy.

She wore a light green skirt and walked to the well in small steps. The next moment, she saw that the well, which had been dry for a long time, suddenly rose to nearly half its height!

The villagers were overjoyed and clapped their hands happily.

"It's our Nuobao again."

"That's great, at least we don't have to be thirsty anymore, thank you Nuobao!"

Little Nuobao said in a clear voice, "Well water is not always available, everyone should use it sparingly. Each family can only take two buckets a day, so that they can take more next time."

"If you don't follow the rules, you will be kicked out of the team and will not be allowed to take water for five days. Remember this." Nuobao emphasized his tone and became more dignified.

Although the villagers are good on weekdays, in the face of natural disasters, human nature makes it inevitable that there will be a few who don't follow the rules.

If we are not strict enough, there may be greedy people who want to take more buckets and disrupt the order.

With the Jiang family and the village chief watching, the villagers followed the rules. The two buckets of well water were enough for drinking and cooking, and everyone was very relieved.

After noon, Xiao Nuobao took a deep breath and relaxed immediately.

The well, which was full of water, suddenly became dry again.

In the next few days, people in Daliu Village still lined up to fetch water at noon.

Some villagers felt that two buckets were not enough for washing clothes and bathing, so after noon, they sneaked over to get more.

But no matter how they fetched water, as long as Nuobao was not guarding here, the well would not flow at all.

Seeing this, they couldn't help but admire Xiao Nuobao's ability, but they didn't dare to do anything tricky anymore.

After a few days, little Nuobao was so tired that his face became thinner, which made Feng and his family feel sorry for him.

After lunch, little Nuobao lay in his mother's arms and took a short rest for a cup of tea before going to the village well again.

Li Qiqiao took out her straw hat, cut off a circle of the hat brim, and put it on Nuobao's little head: "Our Nuobao has fair skin, don't get tanned under the sun."

Little Nuobao thought of the village chief's face that was tanned, and he wanted to put his face into the hat.

He babbled, "Nuobao must protect himself well, don't get tanned like a little brine, it will make people cry!"

This made the whole family laugh.

Jiang Fengnian picked up his sister, rubbed her little face and smiled: "Sister is so pretty, even if she is tanned to the same color as soy sauce, she is still prettier than anyone else!"

Little Nuobao was very satisfied, so he praised his elder brother with a lick and rubbed his neck with saliva.

After arriving at the well, Xiao Nuobao was diverting water into the well as usual, but at this moment, several sneaky figures suddenly caught her attention.

"Village Chief!" Xiao Nuobao saw some men from other villages also fetching water with buckets: "They look unfamiliar, they are not from our village, are they?"

The village chief just noticed them and was about to ask them, when two villagers from Daliu Village stood up and smiled.

"Nuobao, village chief, they are not outsiders, they are all relatives from our mother's family. They are just thirsty and want to come and fetch two buckets. Please be accommodating this time."

Xiao Nuobao narrowed her eyes. Those men from other villages not only did not say hello, but also took buckets twice as big as others.

She shook her head and said crisply, "Since they are relatives, if they want to help, then just give them the two buckets of water from your house. I have no objection."

"But if you want to let people from other villages sneak into our village and take water at will, that is against the rules and it is not allowed!"

After all, although her water supply pool is large, it is also limited.

If people from every village come to her relatives to fetch water, she can't supply them.

The two villagers from Daliu Village immediately fell silent.

Several men from other villages were unwilling to return empty-handed, and they glared at them angrily: "You are the only people in your village? You are the only one who gets thirsty? We are not born by our mothers and raised by our fathers, so do we deserve to die without water?!"

"You little kid, why are you acting so big here? You dare to interrupt when adults are talking? You have no respect for your elders, go home and drink your milk!"
