Chapter 141 Reservoir



"Dad, have you ever thought about building a reservoir for the brigade?"

Liu Mengzhu: “…”

Okay, let’s start by introducing the topic.

"Reservoir?" Pei Shan was puzzled.

Liu Mengzhu: I started to raise questions, which laid the foundation for the subsequent topics.

"Yes, it's the reservoir."

Qin Miaomiao nodded, and her expression became serious.

"Miaomiao, our brigade has wells and rivers. Isn't this reservoir unnecessary?"

After all, for so many years, people have been fetching water from wells and from rivers to irrigate farmland.

There is absolutely no need to do anything like that.

But unexpectedly, Qin Miaomiao shook her head, disagreeing with what Tian Daxiao said.

"Mom, I read in a book that river water contains a lot of impurities and can't be directly used for drinking or irrigating farmland. It's best to collect the water and let it settle for a few days. This will also be beneficial to crops."

"I only thought of this after seeing the state of the cowshed. If I could help the brigade and increase the yield or quality of grain, that would be great."

Pei Shan didn't expect Qin Miaomiao to say this, but after hearing what Qin Miaomiao said, his eyes obviously lit up.

"Miaomiao, are you telling the truth?"

Qin Miaomiao nodded.

"I'm actually not sure. I just read it in a book, but we can give it a try, right?"

Pei Shan was so excited by what Qin Miaomiao said.

The current grain production is not increasing. After paying the public grain tax every year, there is not much left for the brigade.

Almost every family seems to be hungry.

If it could really be improved, that would be a great thing.

"Yes, we can try, we can try. If it really works, then Miaomiao, you will be the benefactor of our entire team."

Pei Shan looked at Qin Miaomiao with eager eyes.

Qin Miaomiao chuckled, and a grain of brown rice at the corner of her mouth twisted with the degree of her grin.

It's full of joy no matter how you look at it.

"Dad, I also hope that everyone can have enough to eat."

Qin Miaomiao said it seriously.

Pei Shan almost slammed the table and stood up when he saw this.

Not bad, not bad. Your own children are good children.

After we agreed on the matter and had breakfast.

Qin Miaomiao yawned loudly.

After all, I didn't sleep much last night and did things in the middle of the night. Even if I had a body of iron, I couldn't bear it now.

"Miaomiao, Mengzhu, go and have a rest. I will take care of the rest."

Pei Shan coughed twice and rarely smiled.

Qin Miaomiao and Liu Mengzhu didn't hesitate and went back to the house together.

Qin Miaomiao fell asleep as soon as she lay down, without even having the chance to take credit in front of Liu Mengzhu.

Liu Mengzhu looked at Qin Miaomiao like this and smiled, then leaned on Qin Miaomiao's left hand and closed her eyes.

It was already past three in the afternoon when Liu Mengzhu got up.

She touched her stomach and felt a little hungry.

Looking around, there is no trace of Qin Miaomiao.

Liu Mengzhu walked out of the house and looked around, but still didn't see Qin Miaomiao.

So she looked at Tian who was still busy working in the field and laughed.

"Mom, where is Miaomiao?"

Logically speaking, Miaomiao might have fallen asleep, and she wouldn't be able to wake up until the evening.

But today, I didn’t see anyone, which was really strange.

Tian Daxiao stopped what he was doing and looked at Liu Mengzhu. "Miaomiao went to the cowshed. The kid heard they were still busy there, so he couldn't help but run over to help."

When he said this, the smile on Tian Da's face never stopped.

Miaomiao and Mengzhu are both enthusiastic children. When they see the team is in trouble, they are the first to rush forward. There are not many good children like them.

If his two sons were still alive, they would definitely be the same as them.

"Oh, I see. I'll go find them later."

Liu Mengzhu paused as soon as he finished speaking.

How could she remember the way to the brigade?

"It's okay. I'll go with you later. I'll also go and see if there's anything I can do to help."

Tian Daxiao also knew about Liu Mengzhu's situation, so he spoke first without waiting for Liu Mengzhu to speak.

When Liu Mengzhu heard this, she nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, mother."

"Kid, why do you keep saying thank you? If that's the case, then I have to pull you aside and say thank you every day, right?"

"Mengzhu, there's very little I can do for you and Miaomiao. You and Miaomiao are both good kids. You've helped my family and the entire team. If you really want to say thank you, it's us who should thank you."

Tian laughed and looked at Liu Mengzhu, who spoke very sincerely.

Facing such a smile from Tian Daxiao, Liu Mengzhu felt uncomfortable all over.

"Mom, we are a family, so I won't say thank you. As long as I can help everyone, it's still good."

Tian laughed and said yes repeatedly.

"You don't know, ever since Qingyuan and his brother became like this, I feel like this is how my life is going to end. I can't see the end."

"But I didn't expect you and Miaomiao to show up and bring us so much hope. Now I feel like my life has a future."

Liu Mengzhu heard what Tian Daxiao was thinking and then looked at the white hair on her head.

My nose also felt sore.

Her life was really hard before.

If a mother doesn't go crazy after seeing such a thing happen to her two sons, it means she is mentally strong.

During the month she and Miaomiao were here, she used spring water to nourish their bodies every day.
