Seeing the reluctance in his second brother's eyes, Chi Yu quickly added:
"I will be back before the Dragon Boat Festival. I will only be away for a month and a half at most."
I took advantage of Amu's trip to the prefectural city to participate in the imperial examination to see what the situation was like outside.
Sometimes, hearing others talk about something doesn't really resonate with you; you have to see it for yourself.
Chi Qiao, who was standing nearby, also chimed in:
"Little Fish is right!"
If only Anping County were like this, we wouldn't need to be so nervous.
If a prefecture is established, other places will follow suit.
Then we'd better be careful.
Store as much food and water as possible.
Water is especially precious during periods of extreme heat and drought.
Chi Dahu, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke up after his wife did:
"Although we have water in the cave, there's no need to panic."
However, no one knows whether the water level will recover after a large amount of water is withdrawn.
Even if we use a little bit at a time, there will be a day when all the river water will run out.
We don't yet know how long this disaster will last.
Once we're done with these next few days, Ah Xiong and Ah Bao, try to store as much water as possible when you have a spare moment.
Rather than watching the water in Tiger Head Cliff Lake dry up, it's better to store it.
Chi Erxiong and Chi Sanbao nodded immediately upon hearing their elder brother's words.
"Don't worry, brother, we will!"
Seeing that his second brother and the others were in better spirits, Chi Yu said:
Before I leave, I will leave some sweet potatoes and potatoes at home.
Second brother, you should plant them in baskets.
However, as the weather gets hotter, this stone house will probably become unbearably hot.
If you're really hot, go back to your accommodation.
When I return, you can stay wherever you want.
Apart from a small cellar, Chi Yu's house did not have a living basement.
She noticed how terribly hot the weather was and worried that her brother and sister-in-law wouldn't be able to stand it.
If there were a power source, she would have loved to bring out an electric fan to cool them down.
In her storage room, there was also an old-fashioned ceiling fan.
The ceiling fan wasn't broken, and the airflow was quite strong, but the blades were a bit rusty.
If it works, just hang it on the roof and everyone can hear it!
Chen Xiaomai doesn't have a strong attachment to where she lives.
Hearing this, suppressing the reluctance in his heart, he said:
"Alright, let's go inside and get to work."
Harvesting over 100 acres of land in five days is really going to be tough.
After all, it was said to be five days, but in reality, it was never five days.
It's already the tenth of the month, and we're going to the county town on the fifteenth, so in reality, it'll only take about four days.
After the harvest is finished, we'll have to start planting again.
The land has now expanded to more than 200 mu, and cultivation is now a challenging task.
However, their abundant land, high yields, and immunity to external disasters are the source of their confidence!
Thinking about all this, Chi Erxiong and Chi Sanbao actually had some thoughts in their minds, but they didn't say them out loud.
They wanted to go, not for any other reason than for the work in the cave.
As for the task of storing water entrusted by the eldest brother, it can be left to the sons; it's not necessary for them to be included.
With their wives in charge at home, everything will be fine!
If they help with the work, the crops can be planted sooner and harvested sooner.
