"There's water! There's water!"
"Great! Our wheat is saved!"
"We won't starve to death!"
A little boy tried it with his hand and found it was still slightly cool.
"Mother, this water is so cool! It feels so good. I want to drink a sip."
"You can't drink it. The water is still cold. You have to wait until it's been exposed to the sun before you can drink it."
The woman quickly spoke out to stop him.
Chen Xinli had already told Zhao Lizheng that the groundwater was too cold to be drunk directly after it was first drawn out, and it could not even be used to irrigate crops, otherwise the crops would freeze to death.
This is the purpose of digging a reservoir, which can allow the water temperature to slowly return to normal.
Zhao Lizheng has popularized this knowledge to everyone in advance.
After hearing this, the little boy did not drink the water, but started a water fight with several children next to him.
The adults watched the children playing and laughing, and no one stopped them.
This is the hope of their Qianniu Village.
The old people have begun to prostrate themselves on the ground and kowtow towards the mountains of Qianniu Village.
The other men and women wiped their faces quietly and kowtowed towards the mountains.
When County Magistrate Zhang came down from the mountain, he saw the people of Qianniu Village kneeling in his direction.

"Their village can now have hope!"
Seeing that there was water in the reservoir, Li Lai Tou immediately picked up the bucket and planned to carry a bucket first. Who cared what the headman said? Let Maizi drink it first. Besides, Maizi would definitely like such cold water.
Li Lai Tou refused to believe in evil and insisted on trying it!
Because his fields were not hoed enough, the weeds in the fields robbed the wheat fields of moisture, and the wheat stalks and leaves were yellower than those in other fields.
When the villagers saw this, no one tried to stop him.
Obviously, everyone still believes what the village head said. Now that the water has been brought in, are they still worried that the wheat won’t have water to drink?
The reservoir is right in the middle of the village's wheat fields.
If you want to divert water, you can dig a ditch directly to your own fields.
If you are carrying water, it is also close.
Everyone in the village helps each other. Although the wheat filling this year will be later than in previous years, it will be in time. As long as it is in time, they can harvest the wheat!
However, just when everyone was happy.
