Li Miaomiao arranged Liu Lin's affairs and went to her parents' home again. She couldn't tell others about the secret of water in the well at home, but she had to let her parents know.
"It's okay for you and Dad to know about this. There's no need to tell my brothers. It's not that I don't trust them, but the fewer people who know about it, the better. My brothers all have their own families, and my sisters-in-law each have their own relatives. If they knew, they might not be able to help but tell others."
"Don't worry, we'll keep it a secret and won't tell anyone. Besides, it's not time for us to go to you for water. Now everyone goes to the mountains to fetch water every day. Although it's a bit hard, it won't be a problem for us to have water."
Li Miaomiao's parents were aware of the situation, so they felt relieved after she left. She came again quietly in the evening and brought a lot of food, dried vegetables, pickles, and water. She did it all secretly, and no one knew about it except her parents.
After returning from her mother's home, Li Miaomiao went to N shed
The condition of the elderly seemed to be OK. Although they looked pale, they did not have any serious health problems.
"Is there a shortage of food? I came back too late."
Li Miaomiao originally thought that there should be enough food, but looking at everyone's condition, it was obvious that they had been hungry for a while, otherwise they would not have such pale faces.
"It's not that we're short of food. You've prepared so much for us, it's more than enough. It's just that now is a special period, so even if we have food, we have to save it."
"You don't have to do this anymore. I've prepared food, but it's too conspicuous to put it here. I've placed a lot of food in several places in the back mountain."
"No, there's enough food. You have to make a living, so don't worry about us. Besides, we're doing this on purpose. Otherwise, if people see us all so energetic, they'll know we don't lack food and might get suspicious."
This state is also safe, otherwise everyone in the village would look pale, but the people living in Shed N would all look good, and you would know there is a problem at a glance.
Li Miaomiao nodded, knowing the intention of doing so. She did not think it through. Even if some things could be hidden, the mental state could not be hidden. It turned out that the old ones were the wisest.
However, Li Miaomiao still left some food and prepared several large jars of water for them in the cave.
At this time, although there was still water in the mountains, Accountant Wu led people to find a water source in the mountains so that they were not completely without water to drink. However, everyone in the village was queuing up to get water, and the people in Shed N had no chance of getting water at all.
Fortunately, Li Miaomiao had informed Accountant Wu beforehand, so Accountant Wu secretly left some water for the people in Shed N. Otherwise, even if they didn't starve to death, they would be dehydrated to death if they didn't drink water for a few days.
After taking the people from N shed to see where she stored food and water, Li Miaomiao went to Accountant Wu's place and brought back a lot of things in a big backpack.
"Uncle Wu, I'm going back in two days. I'd like to ask you to take care of my parents-in-law." Li Miaomiao said as she put the things she brought on the table. They were all very practical things, such as brown sugar, flour, a few boxes of snacks and a few bottles of meat sauce.
She couldn't always ask for help for free, even from Accountant Wu.
"Guoan's wife, what are you doing? You came here and brought so many things. Don't mention that you came today. Even if you didn't come, I know your parents-in-law will be back and will take care of you. Take the things back quickly."
"Uncle Wu, I know you treat me with such kindness, and I didn't bring these things just to ask for your help. To be honest, although I didn't anticipate the drought, I usually like to make a fuss and have a lot of food prepared, so I brought them to you to rest. Otherwise, even if you had money and tickets, you wouldn't have anywhere to buy these things right now."
"That's right, life is getting harder these days."
"So Uncle Wu, don't be so polite to me. Since I brought the things here, just keep them. At least we can get through this difficult time, and things will get better eventually."
Accountant Wu was quite unlucky. When it was his turn to be the team leader, a drought happened. Not to mention leading everyone in the village to a good life, it was even difficult for him to survive.
"But Uncle Wu, there is something I need to remind you of."
