It had been a month since Chen Jiandang was last injured, in mid-May.
Nowadays, there is no convenience like weather forecast on mobile phones.
The general temperature is definitely much higher than in previous years.
A few days ago, there were signs of rain at night.
In the end, it was just a few drops, leaving the villagers happy for nothing.
The river channel shared by the two brigades was completely dried up.
There was no other way, so the team leader could only lead the villagers to fetch water from the well, starting with the well on the team's public road.
Every household would first draw their own water, and then deliver the rest to the wheat fields.
There was only one well in the middle of the whole village. Later, the team leader called on the villagers to dig a well on the west side of the village.
There is one in the team leader's family, one in the secretary's family, and the rest are made by some villagers themselves like Lao Chen's family.
There are only 10 wells in total. Zhaojia Village has a good geographical location. Water is usually found after 10 meters of digging. In order to save money and labor, people usually stop digging after 10 meters.
Like Su Xia, digging out the root of six meters in one go.
The captain looked at the wheat plants, which were already half a man's height and had begun to grow ears of wheat.
If the water supply is cut off at this time, there will be no harvest.
According to information from the county government, other parts of the country have not harvested any crops since last year.
The public grain collected here every year has to be transported to other places, otherwise more people would starve to death.
When the captain heard the number of people who starved to death, his face turned pale with fear.
The receptionist at that time looked at the old captain and felt helpless: "Captain Zhao, we all know the situation you are talking about, but there is really no way. There is a shortage of food all over the country, and no relief can be transferred. Every time they complain to us!"
The captain thought that he had been lying down for two days when he got home, and his wife and children were so scared that they thought he was sick.
At this time, the team leader's son came over and said, "Dad, what are you doing here at noon? Aren't you afraid of the sun?"
The captain looked at his son, who had become dark and thin from being busy recently, and missed his grandchildren at home...
Why……
"I came to see Mai, why are you here? Aren't you fetching water?
"Dad, the well in the village is dry and we can't get any water out."
The captain didn't react after hearing this. At this rate, it would be difficult for people to drink water.
"Go back and notify every household, and then each household will get a certain amount of water, and the rest can be used to irrigate the fields."
"Those who disagree will not be given any food. Tell them that."
Zhao Dalin listened to his father's instructions and went to work.
When Su Xia went to the old house again, Chen's father was asking villagers to fetch water next to his well.
Su Xia looked at it and went to find Chen's mother, "Mom, why are you here?"
"If there are well workers in the team, please come to our house and get some extra work points from the team," Chen's mother was very happy to see her eldest daughter-in-law coming.
The well dug by the old man years ago was a good choice.
After Su Xia understood, she went home and walked to the backyard to see that there was still plenty of water in her well.
Then put it down.
Seeing Niuniu playing ball in the yard, she said, "Mom is going to the back hill to chop firewood. You can play here by yourself. If you have any problems, just call grandma's house."
Niuniu, who was bouncing the volleyball back and forth, said, "I know," and then went back to playing by herself.
Su Xia walked from the backyard to the back mountain. It hadn't rained, so there was no green on the mountain, and the wild vegetables of the previous year were nowhere to be seen.
Su Xia wanted to find two fruit trees, so she thought she could only try her luck in the back hills.
After walking for half an hour, I saw some green, mountains, rocks, and trees thicker than waists.
Maybe the roots of the tree are deep underground, so the leaves look very green.
The roads on the mountain were built by the villagers.
There was no way further in, and Su Xia didn't dare to go any further. Just start walking around.
I saw a Chinese toon tree with some seeds on it. I didn't miss it and went home to fry some eggs with it.
I dug some that looked like mint and after searching for a while I found a tree with some small fruits, but I didn't know what kind it was.
Su Xia found the little student next to her and started shoveling and digging.
It took more than two hours to dig the last two trees.
Su Xia was so tired that she sat directly on the ground, not caring whether it was dirty or not.
When I was almost done resting, I took out some milk tea, stinky tofu, and small balls of snacks from the space and started eating.
These things can occasionally satisfy my cravings and also remind me of my afterlife.
Otherwise, every day these days I am a kid at home and outside, and I almost forget who I am.
After eating and resting well, quickly make dinner.
Put the things away, put the two trees in the backpack, take the wild vegetables and go home.
Niuniu at home was already hungry, and looked eagerly in the direction of the back mountain.
After seeing his mother's figure, he hurried forward and said, "Mom, why didn't you come back? I missed you."
Su Xia was weak and 꿷꽭 was very strong.
"Okay, mom is tired from digging trees. Look at you, you are covered in dirt, and your face and hands are black.
Go and wash yourself quickly. I don’t like dirty kids. ”
Taking Niu Niu to the washbasin stand beside the well, Su Xia saw that it was getting hot, so she set up a washbasin stand and took a bucket. She would wash her hands and face in the hot water every few minutes.
After Su Xia finished washing herself, she poured water for Niuniu: "Wash well here,...
And you are not allowed to play with water. You are peeing on the kang. I will kick you out to sleep. Do you hear me? ”
Su Xia thought back to the time when she was woken up by the kid's urine. It was an unbearable memory.
Fortunately, I have a mattress and plenty of sheets and quilts.
It must not have a taste all the time.
Niu Niu originally wanted to play in the water secretly while her mother was preparing dinner.
Hearing the threat from my mother, I stopped thinking: "Okay, mother, I won't play."
Su Xia just needs to see that she is obedient.
I went to the kitchen. It was hot and I didn't know what to eat, so I washed the Chinese toon, cut it into slightly smaller pieces, added a goose egg, beat it and set it aside.
Just cook some sorghum rice for dinner, and add some cold water to make sorghum rice.
I went to the front yard to pick some green onions, coriander and cabbage, and fried them with some egg sauce to make them perfect.
Finally, the mother and daughter each had a bowl of sorghum rice, egg sauce as a side dish, and scrambled eggs with Chinese toon, which was a good meal to relieve the heat.
Niuniu ate Chinese toon for the first time: "Mom, this is really delicious. Can I eat it tomorrow?"
He looked up at his mother expectantly.
Su Xia didn't even look at her. She was really tired and hungry. "This thing is only available in the deep mountains now, and it takes a long time to find it. If you can find it, I will make it for you."
When Niu Niu heard that they had been searching for so long, she looked at her own arms and legs - okay, give up!
Afterwards, he was angry and ate mouthful after mouthful of food.
After the meal, Su Xia didn't clean up because she couldn't be lazy.
Go to the front yard and leave two spaces on both sides of the gate, which are perfect for planting trees.
Su Xia started digging a hole. This one wasn't too deep and would be done in a moment.
Su Xia buried the tree, filled the soil, and started watering it.
Niuniu saw her mother planting two trees and asked curiously, "Mom, what kind of fruit is this? Can I eat it?"
"I don't know. You'll know when you get familiar with me. Be careful when you play ball in the future. Don't go here. Do you hear me?"
Su Xia looked at Niu Niu and gave orders!
"I know, Mom. When it's cooked, can you let me eat it first?" Niu Niu wanted to be the first person to eat it so that she could go out and show off.
Su Xia looked at her ostentatious thoughts and ignored her.
As long as you don't bother her, you can play however you want.
