Su Xia is now very satisfied with the old house's attitude, and the two old people don't interfere much in what she does.
Xia Laidi, the only one who likes to stir up trouble, dares not show off in front of her own door. Usually, she will be scolded as a coward when she goes to Chen's mother.
Su Xia was curious about why everyone was so anxious to make a living.
He asked directly: "Dad, how is the food now?"
Father Chen was also worried: "Every family has only enough water to drink now. Even the water they keep for themselves is dry. If they don't water it anymore, they won't get anything at all."
"Sister-in-law, we are lucky that you have a well, otherwise...
We went to the mountains to look for it for several days in a row, but the seeds were all dried up, only drops of seeds were left, not a root. "Chen Jianjun also talked about going up the mountain to find water.
Su Xia looked at the people in the room with serious expressions. Fortunately, there was still food and water stored in the old house.
Thinking about the other villagers in the team, hey...
Su Xia didn't know what to say, so she made an excuse and went home.
When I got home and saw my vegetable garden full of life, I knew I would be able to grow my own vegetables soon.
He walked to the well, thought for a while, and finally put large stones in the water bucket, turned the windlass and lowered the water down.
When I felt I had reached the bottom, I began to pull it up. Finally, I looked at the rope and found that the moisture difference was more than four meters. Moreover, my well had a lot of water, so the water level was only seven or eight meters away from the wellhead every morning.
Su Xia looked at the rope, thought about it and decided to discuss it with Chen's father.
Besides, there are still about 50 buckets of 50 kilograms of water in my space.
Su Xia decided to take a nap first.
I went into the bedroom, lay down next to the kid and fell asleep.
After waking up, Su Xia went to the old house to discuss things with Chen's father.
"Dad, I came to discuss something with you and asked you to help me make a decision. Is that okay?"
When Father Chen heard this, he became curious. He wondered when the old family had consulted with someone and had come to inform them.
“Then tell me, Dad will help you!” Father Chen is busy with the wheat in the field every day. It seems that there is only half a month left. No matter how the team leader and secretary discussed with the villagers before, there was no solution. Now they can only ensure that people have water to drink.
Su Xia also knew that Chen's father and his family ate well and slept well, so he said directly: "Dad, you know that the production was reduced last year, but looking at the way the crops are managed this year, they may die of drought without water, which means there will be no harvest."
Father Chen also knew the situation was serious, but the captain and his men could do nothing but wait!
"Dad, this is the case. You know how deep my well is. You should discuss this with the captain and the others.
From the beginning of the day to the end of the day, people from the team came to fetch water and irrigate the fields.
As for any household that wants to go underwater, they can come over later. ”
Father Chen looked at his eldest daughter-in-law in disbelief: "Really? From the old family?"
Su Xia looked at Chen's father, who was surprised and even excited, and answered seriously: "Well, Dad, I've thought about it. Anyway, after our two families have been separated, we might as well let the team go, and we can regard it as accumulating blessings for Niuniu's country building."
Father Chen and even Mother Chen, who had been in shock, were so excited when they heard that their eldest daughter-in-law was accumulating blessings for her granddaughter and eldest son that they didn't know what to say.
Su Xia looked at the two elderly people's touched expressions, but she was helpless. She just wanted the whole village to have nothing to gain so that she could eat well. Sooner or later, she would suffer.
"But Dad, I'm sure this well won't be able to produce any water. I paid for this well. You have to help the captain and get some benefits."
After hearing this, Chen's father did not refuse, as it was the right thing to do. Then he remembered something, put on his shoes hastily, and left.
"Boss, I'm going to discuss this with the captain. Please wait at home."
Having said that, he walked out.
After Chen's father left, Chen's mother said to her eldest daughter-in-law with some concern: "My dear, your well has no water either. What should we do?"
Su Xia also knew what Chen's mother was worried about, so she explained, "Mom, I've observed for a few days that the water level recovers to more than ten meters every morning. You know, I made the well deeper on purpose, so I won't worry for the time being."
Seeing that Chen's mother was still a little worried, he gave her another strong dose of medicine.
"Mom, now we only have enough water to drink. After a while, everyone will have no water to drink, and there will be no food to eat. Only our two families will have food and drink. Mom, have you thought about the consequences?"
Mother Chen was frightened by her eldest daughter-in-law's description and felt uncomfortable all over. What would she and her family do if that happened?
Su Xia saw that Chen's mother was so frightened that her face turned pale.
"Mom, don't scare yourself. It's not that late yet.
Besides, it would be hard for me to watch everyone get nothing, so I'll help if I can! ”
When Chen's mother heard this, she thought it was right and that her eldest daughter-in-law had done a great job.
Su Xia then went home and waited.
Seeing Niu Niu playing in the yard, everyone shouted, "Let's go home."
"Niuniu, let's go home. It's time for dinner."
Niuniu, who was playing ball with Xiaoya, heard her mother calling and went back.
"Sister 꾉Ya, I'm going home to eat. We'll play again tomorrow."
Niu Niu ran to Su Xia with the ball, and tried to hold her mother's hand, but was avoided.
"Come on, you're all sweaty and dirty, give me a shower when you get home."
Niu Niu was sad about being rejected, so she jumped and followed him.
When she got home, Su Xia took the kid's change of clothes, a short-sleeved shirt and seven-legged pants, and went to the well.
Under the scorching sun at noon, the water temperature is just right for taking a bath.
I got a big bathtub, filled it with water, and said to Niuniu, "Go in by yourself. You are getting darker day by day. You look like a lady."
Niu Niu took off all her clothes and sat in the basin, "Mom, come and soak in the water quickly."
Su Xia really wanted to sigh, thinking that she had made a mistake at that link. How could this child develop into a tomboy? No wonder Chen's mother liked her more and more, and she was raising her like a grandson.
Su Xia made some soap and filled half a basin with bubbles. Then she let her play with it for a while and went to see if there was any food to eat.
Cucumbers, beans, tomatoes… they’ve all been picked and are still edible now. I looked at the wall and saw that the pumpkin has grown into a ball and the zucchini has also grown quite long.
This is edible, so I decided to eat it in the evening.
I picked enough for two people, walked to Niu Niu, and saw the child still playing, and I suddenly got angry.
She shouted directly, "Chen Jinxuan, I am giving you face, but are you taking a shower? It's all over your hair, and the more you wash, the dirtier it gets."
Niu Niu, who was playing with bubbles, was confused when her mother called her: "Mom, who are you calling? My name is Niu Niu!"
Ha ha……
Ha ha……
At this time, Chen's father and mother came with the team leader and the secretary to look for Su Xia. Seeing that there was no one in the house, the four of them went to the backyard.
Just then they heard the old lady scolding her granddaughter, and Mr. and Mrs. Chen felt so embarrassed that they wanted to pick their toes.
When will the image of this old family improve?
It was quite embarrassing at first, but when I heard my granddaughter's answer, I burst out laughing. This child is so funny.
Su Xia was very angry at first, but was also made to laugh and cry by Niu Niu. When she saw someone coming, she also started to cause trouble for her.
"Father, mother, captain, secretary, you are here, please go inside and sit down first."
Su Xia was about to lead people in, but then she thought of the kid sitting in the basin and felt embarrassed.
"Dad, you guys go in first, I'll wash her and then I'll go"
"You go to the old house, I'll help Niuniu wash.
”
"That's troublesome!"
Then Su Xia took Chen's father to the living room to discuss things.
After Su Xia poured a glass of water for everyone, the captain began to ask questions impatiently.
"Jianguo's wife, you agree with what your father said, right?"
"Yes, captain, you guys come over to get water between the upper and lower reaches during the day. As for the villagers' personal water, just wait until after the lower reaches!"
After the team leader and the secretary heard the confirmation, Qiqi breathed a sigh of relief.
When Chen's father went to look for them, the two men didn't believe it. One reason was that everyone in the village knew that Suxia also had a well.
Also, even if there is water, there is not that much.
Who could have thought that Jianguo's wife would dig such a deep well? It really saved her life.
Su Xia watched the two people in deep thought, but did not stop.
It was the team leader who spoke first: "Jianguo's wife, this is it, the team will charge you a daily water bill, how about that? You can charge as many days as you want, and we'll charge you the highest, twelve a day, what do you think?"
He didn't want to let people give him water for free. Twelve people were only one strong laborer, and it was just food for one person. It was better than starving. The main thing was that the crops would really die of drought if they were not watered.
After Su Xia heard it, she found it was quite different from what she expected, and she knew it from Chen's father's expression.
"Okay, Captain, just do it this way!"
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the agreement.
The secretary saw that Su Xia was easy to talk to, so he asked directly: "Jianguo's wife, if other families in the team come to your place to drink water, what is the rule?"
"I came back to get water. Give me two buckets of water and a bundle of firewood. I'm just chopping firewood."
When the secretary heard this, he thought that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family was not as difficult to get along with as he had imagined.
The captain looked at Su Xia's tall and bright appearance, and the key point was that her character was also bad.
She said to Chen's father enviously: "Brother, your eldest daughter-in-law is this"
Father Chen was also happy. It was the old family's fault. There wasn't much firewood in a bundle. It was the same as giving it away for free.
After discussing everything, Su Xia sent everything away, made some simple porridge and steamed buns, and fried some vegetables. After eating, the mother and daughter went to bed early. They would have to get up early tomorrow, so they could not stay in bed anymore.
