"These spots are all places with abundant water sources. In the past, when we needed more water to grow crops, we would dig wells nearby."
The old people talked about it in a flurry, and Su Huaiyue took note of everything, feeling very grateful. "Thank you, I will definitely invite you to dinner when the well water comes out."
After returning home, Su Huaiyue carefully added some spiritual spring water to a spare bucket. Then, she used the water to quietly water the vegetables planted in the field.
She thought to herself, "I hope this little bit of spiritual spring water can help these vegetables grow faster."
In less than two days, someone discovered changes in the field.
"Come and see! The vegetables are growing rapidly, and some of them can be picked."
The person who delivered the message had an unconcealable excitement on his face.
The news spread quickly in the village, and everyone ran to the fields to see what was going on.
Su Huaiyue followed the crowd, keeping a calm expression on her face, but feeling relieved in her heart.
The village chief suggested, "Since we've harvested a good harvest from our vegetable garden, why don't we bake some of our village's special vegetable leaf pancakes for everyone tonight? Let's have some fun together."
The villagers all agreed to the proposal, and the atmosphere became more lively than before.
As night fell, a bonfire was lit in the open space in the center of the village. Iron pots of all sizes were set up, and everyone sat around it, listening to the village chief telling stories of the past with laughter.
Su Huaiyue stood at the edge of the crowd, looking at everything in front of her, and felt a long-lost warmth.
She thought, perhaps, she could really do something here, not just to integrate into this life, but perhaps also to understand and protect this peace more deeply.
The rain began to fall, and the villagers quickly picked some vegetables from the fields and hurried home to shelter from the rain.
There is no way today's work can be done.
Although the bonfire was extinguished, everyone's enthusiasm was not dampened by the sudden rain.
After returning home, Su Huaiyue put the dishes away and sighed softly.
She looked out the window, watching the rain washing the fields, and an idea gradually emerged in her mind.
The next morning, the rain gradually subsided, and Su Huaiyue decided to gather the villagers together to discuss his recent thoughts.
Everyone gathered under a large tree in the village, and Su Huaiyue spoke straight to the point: "Everyone, I've had an idea these days, and I'd like to hear your opinions. Although the land behind our village is good, to be honest, it's still too small. If we can have a good harvest this year, we might consider reclaiming some new land."
The village chief frowned slightly and asked, "Are you talking about going to that wasteland ten miles away?"
Su Huaiyue nodded. "Yes, we passed by there on the way here. Although the soil is slightly different from here, there is always a way to solve it. If that piece of land is cultivated, there will be a lot of harvest, and it can also help other nearby villages. But I know that this approach is risky. And that piece of land is too far from here, and it may be a bit tiring for everyone to work there."
There was a murmur among the crowd as everyone pondered the feasibility of this proposal.
After a while of discussion, someone stood up and said, "If we can prepare in advance and solve the water problem, maybe we can give it a try."
Another villager continued, "Yes, although it's a bit far, if we can harvest more food, it's worth the hard work."
Seeing everyone's positive attitude, Su Huaiyue breathed a sigh of relief. "Then let's brainstorm and see if there is any way to reduce the trouble everyone has to run around every day. As long as everyone works together, there will always be a way."
The village chief nodded, his expression gradually relaxing. "I think it's feasible. Let's make some preparations first and make full use of this year's harvest. Then we can decide when to start."
The sun slowly parted the clouds, the light shone down, and the shadows under the big tree also dissipated a lot.
As everyone discussed, a glimmer of hope appeared in their eyes.
After several days of preparation, the plan to reclaim wasteland in the village gradually took shape.
Everyone was busy with Su Huaiyue's proposal, and the village was bustling with activity.
Su Huaiyue stood under a big tree in the village, looking at the enthusiasm of the villagers, and felt gratified.
At this moment, she saw Wei Che coming from the village road.
Wei Che, as always, exuded a reassuring aura. He nodded towards Su Huaiyue and said, "Su Huaiyue, I heard that you plan to send a few young men to the town to buy a donkey?"
Su Huaiyue smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Yes, I have an idea. As long as we have a donkey cart, it will be much more convenient for us to go to the wasteland to work every day, and it also solves the problem of traveling."
"That's a good idea,"
Wei Che nodded affirmatively. "As long as it can improve efficiency, everyone will naturally be willing to support it. Besides, the embroidery in the village sells well, and this part of the income can be put to good use."
Hearing Wei Che's support, Su Huaiyue felt more determined.
"Yes, the market demand in town has proven the value of our embroidery. We should spend the money on something useful while we can still get a good price."
As they were talking, several young villagers came over, their faces full of anticipation, "Miss Su, we are ready and can leave for town at any time."
Su Huaiyue patted one of them on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay, after you buy the donkey, you will be responsible for training it to pull the cart. Be careful on the way back."
The young man nodded with satisfaction and enthusiasm, "Don't worry, Miss Su, we will definitely get it done."
Su Huaiyue watched them leave, then turned to Wei Che and said, "These young people are becoming more and more responsible."
Wei Che smiled gently, "As long as the direction is right, everyone will unite. After all, this is their native home."
The rain finally stopped, the sky gradually showed the shadow of blue sky, and the air in the village became much fresher.
The donkeys came back with steady steps, and the village was filled with joy.
Everyone gathered at the entrance of the village, looking at a few strong donkeys and whispering to each other, looking forward to a better life in the future.
Su Huaiyue stood at the front and smiled slightly. "Everyone, take this time to rest. We will start planning to rebuild the donkey cart. This cart must not only be able to accommodate people, but also be able to bear the weight of transporting grain and vegetables in the future."
As she spoke, her eyes swept across everyone present with determination.
Wei Che's hands were not idle either. He made a suggestion, "Two donkeys on one cart can carry more weight. We can try to modify one first and see the effect."
Several strong men from the village had already prepared tools nearby. Upon hearing this, they immediately agreed and started working.
After some collaboration and adjustment, a brand new donkey cart was finally born.
The car body is wide, the wood is solid, and the wheels appear to roll very steadily.
Su Huaiyue walked forward and patted the car body gently, feeling full of satisfaction.
She imagined how much convenience such a car would bring to everyone's life if it shuttled between fields and villages.
"Great! These cars will definitely come in handy."
