Chapter 36 Autumn Harvest Season
When Su Chunlin and his daughter arrived at Shenjiazhuang, they were spotted by the sharp-eyed Xu, who rushed over immediately and asked, "Xiaotai's father, why are you here?"
"I heard that the water supply in your village was cut off, so I came to see if I could help." Su Chunlin was a little anxious.
Xu immediately showed a gratified smile, "I'm sure that Ayi has made a good marriage. I really didn't make a mistake! The Daxun River dried up five days ago. Fortunately, we have dug wells in our village. We have been relying on these wells for watering these days, but they are not enough. Ayi is discussing matters with the village chief and the elders. Let's go! I'll take you home!"
On the way, Xu pointed them in the direction of the well. Su Tai was silent for a few seconds, and when they arrived at Shen Yi's house, Su Chunlin, who couldn't sit still, said he wanted to go out for a walk.
Xu was busy in the kitchen, and Su Tai had the opportunity to sneak out. She walked a distance in the direction Xu pointed and saw villagers queuing up to fetch water from afar.
Because there were so many people, she, a person from another village, would easily attract the attention of the villagers, so she had no choice but to choose a place not far from Shen Yi's house to release it into the underground stream.
After finishing the work, she went back as if nothing had happened. Seeing that Shen Yi had returned, she immediately asked, "Brother Shen, what did the head of your village say?"
Shen Yi looked a little more solemn, but he still smiled at Su Tai reassuringly, "It's okay, at most we'll just try to dig another well."
Su Tai's eyes lit up, and she immediately pulled Shen Yi's clothes and walked out, stopping only when she reached the location where she put the underground stream, "Brother Shen, dig in this area, I think there is water."
Shen Yi thought of what happened in Ximen Village. At that time, the well was clearly dug so deep that it was impossible for water to come out. However, Su Tai firmly told him to continue digging, saying that there would definitely be water. He chose to believe it without reservation, but he did not expect that water would really come out. This time...
Thinking of this, Shen Yi suddenly widened his eyes and suppressed his excitement, "Okay! I'll find someone to dig it out right away."
After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave, but then he stopped and looked at Su Tai deeply, "Thank you, little sister Tai!"
Su Tai raised her eyebrows and looked away guiltily, "Why are you thanking me? I didn't do anything!"
Shen Yi suddenly smiled, "I know! You go home and rest first, and leave the things here to me."
Su Tai looked at his quickly departing back, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she went back leisurely. She didn't care about what happened afterwards, she only knew that Su Chunlin also followed her to help with the work.
Because they didn't dig deep enough on the first day and didn't see water, Su Chunlin was worried, so the father and daughter stayed overnight at Shen Yi's house.
The next morning, when Shen Yi and Su Chunlin went to work, they found that the soil was a little moist. They were greatly encouraged and started working without waiting for the villagers to come.
As soon as the sun rose, there was water in the well.
At this time, more people came to work, everyone was excited, and the whole village was as lively as New Year's Day.
Around noon, Xu happily came over with wild vegetables and two eggs to cook, saying that she wanted to thank Su Chunlin for his help.
The father and daughter had their meal before leaving.
In the blink of an eye, it was early August and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. Perhaps it was because Su Tai had dumped more groundwater in their area, which changed the air humidity. The originally clear sky now had more white clouds. Although it hadn't rained yet, it at least gave the villagers hope.
At this time, the four acres of cabbage and two acres of paddy fields in the Earth Time and Space can be harvested.
All the paddy fields were left to the mole to take care of, and she only helped to harvest the cabbages. She harvested 20,000 kilograms of cabbage from four acres, and 1,200 kilograms of rice, which she sold for a total of 9,600 coins.
Her virtual currency balance broke five figures for the first time.
This time, she chose to spend five thousand virtual coins to upgrade the water space-time without hesitation. The fourth-level water space-time had an additional lake of one thousand acres, which required two thousand virtual coins to be deployed once.
She thought about it and decided to dump the lake into the mountains of Dongmen Village.
Firstly, it can provide water for animals in the mountains; secondly, it can improve the climate of the mountains and forests and change the local weather. The last and most important point is that if there is suddenly a lake in the mountains, people will only be surprised and curious, but will not get to the bottom of it. If there is a lake in the village, I am afraid it will alarm the state officials.
Just do it.
Su Tai left the time and space gate and found an excuse to go into the mountains. Because Su Yan was bitten by a snake in the mountains, the number of people going into the mountains dropped sharply during this period. Even if they went there, they only stayed at the foot of the mountain, which made it convenient for her to act.
After she threw the water into the lake, she quickly fled the scene.
Now it all depends on which lucky person discovers the existence of this lake first.
She thought that such a large lake would be easily discovered, but she didn't expect that it would take three days for a villager to discover it. It was because they ran into a pheasant while cutting firewood in the mountains and found it by chasing the pheasant.
For a while, villagers went into the mountains in groups of three or five to watch the excitement, and saw that there was indeed a lake in the mountains.
Some people began to imagine, "I understand! There must be too much groundwater in the mountains that is bubbling up, that's why our village has so much water!"
Su Chunlin and others nodded in agreement.
Su Tai watched the fun for a while and then ignored it.
After all the cabbages and rice in the Earth Time and Space were planted, she found an excuse to ask Su Chunlin to take her to Shenjiazhuang.
This time she built an underground lake directly under the mud of the Daxun River.
The children in the village would dig in the dry riverbed when they had nothing to do. When they dug out water, it would slowly rise and no one would suspect her.
After doing all this, her virtual currency balance suddenly became four thousand, and she had no limit on spending it.
Su Tai sighed as time passed, and in the blink of an eye it was September, the time for autumn harvest.
Although it is still dry this year, almost every village has dug a well and is able to grow crops to some extent. The county magistrate is still quite optimistic and positive. He notified everyone early and had the town officials and village heads organize the autumn harvest.
Liu Tiechui’s first stop when he went to the countryside was Dongmen Village. After all, Dongmen Village was famous for its abundant water resources. He collected grain from Dongmen Village first to bring good luck.
The heads of other townships also came to watch the fun.
Su Changxi brought several respected elders from the village to greet them at the entrance of the village.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group got down to business and walked towards the field.
When they passed Su Chunlin's land, everyone stopped.
Liu Tiechui looked at the sparse land of other people's families, and then looked at the golden wheat field in front of him. He asked in shock: "Whose is this?"
Su Changxi quickly replied: "Su Chunlin's family."
"Where are he?" Liu Tiechui looked for him anxiously.
The villagers immediately called Su Chunlin over.
Liu Tiechui stared at him in amazement and asked excitedly, "Su Chunlin, how do you farm this land? It's actually different from other farms!"
Everyone waited anxiously for his answer.
Su Chunlin was a little confused. He scratched his head and smiled foolishly. "The town magistrate really stumped me! I didn't do anything. I just went to the county town to ask my eldest brother for help to get some grain seeds. Oh, right! I soaked the seeds in water before sowing them, and only planted those that could germinate. I don't know if this is the reason?"
