When talking about sending Yunmian to school, Mei Cuiping thought about the household registration.
Without a household registration, children cannot go to school.
"Yongcheng, you went to Director Xu's house to tell you about Mianmian's settlement. How did Director Xu answer you?"
Yun Yongcheng: "Director Xu's family has relatives who work at Huangshi Town Police Station. On Monday the day after tomorrow, Director Xu accompanied us to the police station to settle Mianmian. Director Xu said the problem should not be big."
"That's great. After this is done, I must thank Director Xu."
Mei Cuiping felt at ease now that the matter of settling Yun Mian's residence was clear, and she happily served the prepared meals to the table.
After lunch, Yun Mian and Yun Aiguo went to see the rice fields.
In the hot summer, the water in the rice fields is easy to dry out, so the rice fields must be irrigated in time to avoid affecting the earing of the rice.
When they arrived at the end of the field and saw the state of their rice fields, Yun Aiguo and his wife both frowned in worry.
Yun Mian followed her grandparents on the field ridge and heard her grandparents sighing heavily from time to time.
"The water that was poured just a while ago has dried up again today. If it doesn't rain heavily, the Xiushui River will stop flowing."
Mei Cuiping sighed and picked a yellowing rice leaf. She found some tiny insect holes on the rice leaf. Her brows suddenly furrowed deeper and she hurriedly turned around to show the rice leaf to her husband.
"Not only is there a drought, there are also insects."
Seeing the insect holes on the leaves, Yun Aiguo's brows furrowed even deeper.
"It's really worrying that there are worms in the earing joints. Grandma, please go back quickly and get the insecticide. I'll go to the river to fetch water to irrigate the ground."
Yun Aiguo confessed, and walked quickly towards Xiushui River with two empty buckets on his shoulders.
"Mianmian, grandma has to go back to get the insecticide and sprayer now. You just wait here for grandpa to come back."
Mei Cuiping took Yunmian to the shade of a tree and explained.
Yun Mian waved her little hand to Mei Cuiping obediently.
"Grandma, go ahead, I won't run around."
"You're so good, grandma will make white flour steamed buns for you to eat tonight."
Mei Cuiping touched the braid on Yun Mian's head, then turned around and hurried away.
The rice fields were not far from the Xiushui River. As soon as Mei Cuiping left, Yun Aiguo came back carrying two buckets full of water.
Yun Mian stood under the shade of a tree and saw his grandfather, hunched over his back, carrying two buckets of water on the field ridge from a distance.
Two buckets of water were poured into the ground, and there were no small puddles.
If you want to wet this land, you will have to carry at least dozens of loads of water. I heard from my grandma that several other fields are also dry, so it will take at least dozens of loads of water to wet all the fields.
Carrying even one load of water under the scorching sun is tiring, let alone dozens of loads of water.
Yun Mian frowned in distress as she watched her grandfather pour the water to the ground without stopping for a minute, then turned around and walked away with two empty buckets.
I wonder if I can use Lingquan water to help grandpa water the ground.
Desperately wanting to help her grandfather, Yun Mian subconsciously started thinking. The next second, the dry field in front of her gradually became moist, and a small puddle appeared in front of her eyes.
Yun Mian opened his eyes wide, full of surprise.
After being watered by the spiritual spring water, the originally withered and listless rice became energetic at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Afraid of being discovered by her grandfather, Yun Mian did not dare to take too much Lingquan water at one time. Her grandfather poured a load of water into the field, and she secretly watered a small area of land with Lingquan water.
Mei Cuiping mixed the pesticides and returned to the field with a sprayer on her back. She found that the rice was much energetic and the field was basically wet.
