Chapter 14 Baby Language Conference
The corners of Ye Yanping's mouth twitched: "Okay, Ye Ergou, you were quite good at fanning the flames before you came out!"
Ergou is the nickname Luo Qiuyue gave to Ye Laoer.
"Haha, you were the one who wronged me first! As the saying goes, brothers are the ones who fight tigers together, but you are alone..." When he said this, Ye Yan'an covered his mouth with his hand.
“…” Ye Yanshun shook his head, silently went into the room and closed the door.
Luo Qiuyue roared like a lion, "Ye Yan'an, what are you saying! You bastard, you talk like a human but shit like a dog! You're just like Ye Yanping, you're here to collect your debt! I'm going to fight you!"
…
The next morning, Ye Yan'an, who was in charge of fetching water, came running back in a panic. "Oh no! The water level in the village's ancient well has dropped. The head of the village has decided to cut water usage by half for every household. We only have one bucket of water today!"
At this time, there was a sound of wailing in Heihe Village. The villagers who got the news ran towards the ancient well like crazy. They didn't dare to believe it, and they didn't want to believe it!
The reason why Heihe Village has survived the three-year drought is that it is located near mountains and rivers and has abundant water resources.
Last year, the river in the village dried up and another well also dried up. Only this ancient well has remained silently standing until now.
This ancient well is the last hope of the entire village. Now, is even this last hope going to be gone?
Beside the ancient well, the village head with gray hair and beard frowned, "What are you all doing here? Go back to your work!"
Looking at the pitifully little water at the bottom of the well, many villagers cried.
"Village head, what should we do? The rice seedlings in the fields are already half dead, and now there's less water. How can they survive this year?"
"It's almost time for the rice seedlings to head. What should we do? It looks like we won't have a harvest this year! God is leaving us no way out!"
The village head said solemnly, "Now that things have come to this, let's think positively. At least we still have water to drink. This is better than those villages that have no water to drink and have no choice but to flee from the famine!"
Stop complaining. Life is not easy when faced with natural disasters! Go back and do what you need to do. Those who are digging wild vegetables should go up the mountain, and those who are watering rice seedlings should go to the fields. Life must go on as usual. Don't lose your composure! God will always leave us a way out!
"The headman is right! God, please give us a way out, let us live!"
A large group of people knelt beside the ancient well.
…
Xiaojiu slept soundly and when he woke up, the sun was already high in the sky.
Yunniang picked her up and combed her hair into two small buns. Xiaojiu was still waiting for her to wash her face, but Yunniang directly asked Xiaowen and Xiaowu to take her out to play.
"Sister, let me take you to dig ant holes!" Ye Xiaowu, with a lot of eye boogers on his eyes, took her little hand.
Xiaojiu was a little confused. What happened to everyone today? Not only did no one wash their faces, but they didn’t even eat breakfast?
Ye Yanping came back carrying a bucket of water, followed by Ye Yanan holding a ladle.
"Mom, I've poured half a bucket of water into the water, not wanting to waste a single drop, but it's still not enough! Even if the whole family doesn't drink a drop, I'm afraid we can't save the seedlings."
Luo Qiuyue was so worried that she couldn't even open her eyes. "Then what do you say we should do? We can't just watch the seedlings die like this!"
This is the current situation. If I water the seedlings, they may not survive to the stage of ear formation. But if I don't water them, I can't bear to give up that glimmer of hope.
Xiaojiu looked up at them and suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his head!
I remembered that particularly important thing!
"Brain bag, xue!"
Ye Buwei was stunned: "Why is Xiaojiu talking about blood again?"
Ye Xiaowen sighed: "Sister, what I'm talking about is water!"
Yunniang thought Xiaojiu was thirsty, so she poured him half a cup of cold boiled water. However, Xiaojiu kept waving his hands and started talking in baby language to Xiaowen and Xiaowu.
I saw three little ones squatting together with their heads touching.
Xiaojiu: "@#^&%!#^＊＆＊!"
Xiaowen: "*&%￥&@34%#!?"
Xiao Wu: “X&%￥#@……!”
In the past, everyone would have found this scene funny, but today no one was in the mood to laugh.
After a while, the three little ones stood up hand in hand.
Ye Xiaowen puffed out his chest and said, "My sister said she has something important to tell you!"
Luo Qiuyue: "What's going on? Did Dad poop in his pants?"
Xiaojiu: “…”
She pulled Ye Xiaowen and said, "Brother, look at what grandma said! It pissed the kid off!"
Ye Xiaowen: Don’t worry, leave it to me!
"You adults are such a jerk! All you think about is your daddy! We little kids are worried about something important! My little sister said she knows where the water is!"
Luo Qiuyue silently put away her raised palm and said in a trembling voice, "Really?"
"Puchi!" Ye Yan laughed happily, "Xiaojiu had a dream again last night? Big brother, you don't know, Xiaojiu dreamed that you were-"
"Xiaojiu, let's go!" Ye Buwei stood up suddenly.
So when they were in the mountains, Xiaojiu wanted to tell him that there was water there, but he didn't understand at the time!
Xiaojiu rode on Ye Buwei's neck again. The two of them went into the house, took a walk around, and came out with a shovel in Ye Buwei's hand.
Ye Yanping was completely bewildered.
But it was just a joke from a child, but the dad took it seriously?
"A Ping, let's go together!"
Ye Yanping: "Okay, Dad!"
Ye Yanan: "Dad, I also want to—"
Ye Buwei: "You don't want to."
Looking at his second brother's frustrated face, Ye Yanping couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The three of them arrived at the foot of the mountain, and Ye Buwei said, "A Ping, let's meet at the place where we picked wild fruits yesterday."
Ye Yanping was puzzled, "Dad, where are you going?"
Ye Buwei tiptoed up to the treetops and said, "Xiaojiu and I will go first!"
Ye Yanping was anxious, "Dad, I want to..."
Ye Buwei's voice echoed in the valley: "You - don't - want to -"
Ye Yanping: Retribution always comes very quickly.
…
When Ye Yanping arrived at the destination panting, Xiaojiu had already eaten enough fruit, and his little face was covered with fruit juice.
"Xiaojiu, don't eat too much, or your teeth will fall out from the sour taste." Ye Yanping wiped her face with his sleeve.
"Hey, Niqi!"
Little Tuanzi stuffed the fruit into his mouth.
Ye Yanping's tiredness was swept away, "Xiao Jiuer, can we really find water here?"
“Yes!”
Xiaojiu climbed onto Ye Buwei's neck, pointed with his little hand, and the few of them walked down the valley.
After walking for a while, not only did we not see any water source, but even the vegetation became sparse.
Ye Yanping knew his father couldn't see, so he couldn't help but say, "Dad, I think this is a very dangerous situation! Think about it, Dad. They say water flows to lower places. Our village is much lower than here. Even such a deep old well has no water, so how can there be water in the mountains?"
Ye Buwei said nothing.
Ye Yanping continued, "How about I go hunting? At least my trip won't be in vain."
Ye Buwei: "What's the rush?"
"If there was water here, I would write my name backwards." Ye Yanping muttered.
Dad just dotes on Xiaojiu too much.
"Ji Li!" Xiao Jiu pointed to a patch of reeds on the cliff, "Dig!"
Ye Yanping picked up the shovel absentmindedly. He didn't want to dig, he wanted to go hunting.
I just wanted to do it casually, but as I dug, the soil became more and more moist. Ye Yanping took off his coat and started working seriously.
"I'm digging and digging in the garden~"
I don’t know what the little girl is singing.
The little arms were gesturing seriously, and the short legs were shaking to the beat, the sound was soft and sticky.
"Xiaojiu, do you sing when daddy is working?"
“Yes!”
Ye Yanping was happy and dug even harder. In less than a cup of tea, with a "bang", the shovel landed on a crack in the stone, and Ye Yanping pried it hard.
A clear spring emerged from the ground...
