The next morning, Su Xia got up before 12:00.

We agreed to start at a good time yesterday.

Su Xia first went to the well to check the water level, and it had risen.

Go to the kitchen, cook some millet porridge, and eat the hot dumplings with pickled mustard tuber and salted duck eggs.

While I was heating the food, I heard shouting outside the door.

Su Xia hurriedly ran to open the door.

Zhao Dalin, the captain's eldest son, who was waiting outside, saw his sister-in-law coming and helped open the door.

"Sister-in-law, I brought you here to get some water." He scratched his head embarrassedly.

Su Xia didn't say anything, and led them directly to the well in the backyard, "Dalin, you guys go by yourselves, I won't be here."

Zhao Dalin first looked at the water in the well and was happy to see that there was plenty of water.

Upon hearing this, he hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, just go and do it."

Then he invited people to start drinking water.

When he saw that the vegetables in Su Xia's backyard were almost eaten, he believed that there was plenty of water in his well.

Su Xia went home, took out a small notebook, wrote "Date, Team Member, Team Leader" on it, and went to find Zhao Dalin.

"Dalin, please sign this so that I can make a deal with you later."

Zhao Dalin took it and signed it.

Just as Su Xia was about to leave, she remembered something: "Dalin, when you guys are drinking water, Xiao eats my food.

Also, go back and tell the captain not to spoil my vegetables when there is water after work. If anyone spoils them, I will not let him spoil them again. ”

Zhao Dalin also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he agreed directly: "Sister-in-law, please let me go. I'll take good care of you here. I'll let you know my dad later."

Su Xia let go as soon as she heard it, went into the house, and first dug Niuniu out of the quilt: "Get up and eat, there are a lot of food at home. If you see a lazy bug like you who hasn't gotten up yet, she will laugh at you."

Niuniu rubbed her eyes and became alert when she heard someone coming home: "Mom, why are they coming to our house?"

"Mom, sell the water from the well to the team leader, so that our family will have centimeters, and we can share the grain when the time comes."

Niuniu was happy: "Then mom, then we won't be hungry."

Su Xia slapped her butt angrily: "What's wrong? When did I starve you?"

"Mom, who would complain about having too much food? I just want our family to have more food so that we can always have enough to eat."

"Okay, little lazy guy, after dinner, go and look after your well. Other people in the village will come to get water in the evening, and you can look after them all."

When Niuniu heard that she was going to supervise, she quickly washed her face and went to eat.

After the two of them had dinner, Niuniu ran to the backyard, moved a small stool and sat down, looking at the water with her big eyes.

Su Xia couldn't help it. Children were just curious and got impatient after a while.

A bunch of big men in the water looked at the chubby little kid and teased everyone they passed by.

Looking at Lehe, I thought, this child is really fat.

Zhao Dalin was always afraid that the water level would drop too quickly, but by the time he finished work, it had only dropped below half of its level.

I let go immediately and went back to tell my father that the crops could be saved.

After work, villagers who were short of water came one after another, and each of them brought a bundle of firewood.

Su Xia simply told them to put it in the woodshed.

The villagers were very grateful to Su Xia. Two buckets of water a day could be used to do a lot of work, and the water saved could be used to water the water they kept for themselves. Moreover, it only took a while to chop a bundle of firewood in the mountains, which was a matter of some effort.

After almost an hour of continuous rain, the noise finally stopped. Su Xia closed the door and went back to sleep. As for the kid, he went to bed early.

The brigade kept watering the fields every day to irrigate all the crops.

The team leader stood by the field, looking at the energetic Mai, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been so anxious these days that he couldn't sleep or eat well.

That day Su Xia was tending to her small vegetable garden. Now she didn't have to chop wood, so she had more free time every day.

At this time the captain came over.

"Captain, why are you here?" Su Xia looked at the captain and asked curiously?

The captain was a little embarrassed to speak, not knowing what to say, and looked at Su Xia hesitantly.

This made Su Xia a little speechless. She came over and stood by the well. Other villagers didn't dare to drink water and didn't say anything.

"Captain, just tell me what you want to say. We are all waiting for water. Why don't you go to Mai and take a look?"

The team leader seemed to be making a big decision and slowly said, "Jianguo's wife, several teams in the surrounding areas came to me to ask if they need water from you. They have been worried about having no harvest and no food this year. I heard that you have a lot of water, so they asked me to come and ask."

Su Xia didn't even think about it: "Sure!"

When Captain Zhao heard this, he was in a dilemma. He didn't expect Jianguo's wife to be so straightforward. It seemed that his hesitation was unnecessary.

"Captain, if other villages come to get water, we will arrange it for you. There is also two work points a day. You can get money or food when the time comes."

Captain Zhao thought it made sense. Since all the villagers in his own village were given work points, the others must also be taken care of. Soon they were taken care of.

Also, this is a matter of saving lives, so you have to think carefully and ask for some benefits for your village in the process.

"Okay, this is the matter. I'll fix it for you. I'll let Dalin come over to watch over it starting tomorrow. I'm sure you won't suffer any loss."

Su Xia didn't want to keep watching and wasting time, so she left it to the captain to do. Just watching the captain secretly rejoice in whatever he thought of had nothing to do with her.

Remember something: "Yes, Captain, you have to tell them, don't whisper behind me and let me hear some bad words, I will not let them drink water directly"

The captain looked serious after hearing this. This was indeed something that should be discussed in advance to avoid a thankless task later. "Okay, I'll take care of this for you."

Su Xia also released it, just as a benefit to mankind - why do I feel that I am a little bit great?

Su Xia felt that her vanity was about to overflow.

From the next day on, people came to fetch water every day. With the captain and eldest son watching over us, we didn't have to worry about anything.

Su Xia got up early every day after that. Although the water level in the well was not as high as before, it only dropped by two meters. Fortunately, she got deep.

Before other people came, Su Xia poured the tap water in the space into the well.

It was not until two days later, when the team started to harvest the crops, that the water decreased a lot. Now, after work, some villagers come to water them, and all the water is added to the harvest.

Of course there is still no Su Xia.

The team leader started all the harvesting. Some strong laborers took sickles, some took ropes, and some pushed carts. Everyone was beaming with joy, as they finally didn't have to worry about going hungry.

As soon as the captain said "start", everyone started to get busy, even the old and the children helped to the best of their ability.

In fact, he was a little afraid that Su Xia's well would also dry up, but there was water these days until the wheat was ripe.

Although I was curious, there was indeed no less water in the well, thank God for that.
