He also knew that Su Yuanyuan was right. Although he didn't care about these external things, he was slowly adjusting his mentality.
He told himself more than once that this era was no longer his past.
"Okay, be careful."
"Don't worry, I'll leave tomorrow morning. It's just right to go to the waterside in the middle of the night. Actually, I don't want to drive the donkey cart there. It would be too conspicuous."
"Would you like to walk? I'm too tired."
"It's okay, it's only a few dozen miles, I really don't care."
Both of them didn't eat at noon, so they had a rich meal in the evening. After eating, Su Yuanyuan didn't practice at all, but lay down to sleep. Although she was no longer tired, she just felt tired.
Tan Shaoting watched the little girl sleep, and then went back to his room to sleep. If you don't practice, you won't practice.
Let’s talk about the Zhao brothers and sisters. Zhao Qingjie brought the lard into the house and hung it up. Then he went to the fields with water.
"Second brother, why are you so slow?"
"Yuanyuan came here just now, and she brought a lot of lard. I hung it in the room."
"Lard?" Zhao Yanli swallowed her saliva and shouted in surprise.
"Well, there are oils and suet. Yuanyuan said they went to the city the day before yesterday and bought them for us, saying we don't want to eat meat."
"That's great, Yuanyuan is quite interesting."
"Hurry up, let's refine the oil tonight." Zhao Yanping said with a smile. She almost forgot the smell of the oil residue.
Now the five siblings are even more energetic.
At noon, we ate in the field. Chopped wild vegetables were placed in cornmeal and salt was added, so that no vegetables were needed.
After returning home in the evening, the five brothers and sisters used half a basin of water to wash themselves. Finally, Zhao Qingxiang went to water the Japanese melon seedlings.
Two boys were sitting in the yard choosing leeks, which Su Yuanyuan brought to them.
The three sisters were refining oil in the kitchen, and the ten kilograms of lard produced more than seven kilograms. I left a bowl of the oil residue. Today, the five brothers and sisters will satisfy their cravings. The rest will be chopped into pieces and put in pancakes tomorrow. It will be special.
of fragrance.
The next day, Su Yuanyuan watered the vegetables in the yard.
"The water output of our wells is not large. We have to go to Team Leader Ma to make a decision. Finally, don't forget our wells."
"I'll be there at noon today, don't worry. I told Team Leader Ma a while ago, so I should be queuing up."
"Since I told you, let's just wait."
The weather is quite hot now, so Su Yuanyuan set out with a straw hat.
As she walked, she thought, it would be great if she had a bicycle, but what she had in her space was a mountain bike. It would be a big problem if she took it out and let others see it.
When she was tired, she found a place to sit down and rest for a while. Anyway, she arrived at the riverside at eight o'clock in the evening.
When we got here, we were dumbfounded. The water level had dropped by at least three meters. From the shore, there was just a little water at the bottom of the river.
The exposed river bottom was cracked by the sun.
Su Yuanyuan stood on the shore and sighed. She turned around with a flashlight and found no trace of water. In this case, she thought she should put it away herself. Otherwise, it would all evaporate.
He went down carefully and took out three storage bottles. It took a quarter of an hour to collect them all.
She found that there were a lot of fish, so she put her hand directly into the water and collected a lot of fish, big and small.
In this kind of weather, you can make dried fish. I left with a heavy heart.
I hired a bicycle at night, which was much faster than walking.
He arrived home at around three in the morning. Looking at Su Yuanyuan in a panic, Tan Shaoting felt very distressed. He quickly boiled water for her and let her take a bath.
"Tan Shaoting, I got a lot of fish back. Once they were released, we picked them out and said we went to the riverside to get them. We sent some to the Zhao brothers and sisters, as well as Team Leader Ma and Director Feng.
"
"That's hard to explain, isn't it? The fish is too fresh."
Su Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment and sighed, "Yeah, it's so fresh.
Then dry the fish and give it to them in the winter."
"Dry it directly?"
"No, you need to boil it in salt water."
The two were busy all morning, and a lot of fish were dried on the straw curtain in the yard.
They didn't dry the big fish, they were all small fish.
While the two were working, Su Yuanyuan talked about the situation on the riverside.
"I'm really worried. What will we do then? I estimate that the disaster will be even more serious this year."
"It's already like this anyway. You can't influence anything, just let nature take its course."
Su Yuanyuan sighed, there was no other way.
"The sheep at home gave birth yesterday after you left. Two of them were born, both ewes."
This was also a happy event. Su Yuanyuan went over specifically to see it and gave it a reward.
The two of them just plant Japanese melons every day. To be honest, they don’t know if they can grow Japanese melons. But it’s not possible if they don’t plant them. There’s no hope, so how can they harvest?
The ten acres of land over there are planted with Japanese melons. It sounds like there are a lot of them, but in fact they are quite far apart.
The sweet potatoes are growing very well. The potatoes are also coming out. The corn seedlings are also looking quite vigorous.
There is not much weeding work this year. The two of them have to water the Japanese melons every day. After all, they are a minority, and the rest do not have the conditions to water them even if they want to.
At the end of July, Tan Shaoting went to the riverside. What he described when he came back was that there was even less water.
Su Yuanyuan had already looked at the surrounding fields, and also went to the fields owned by the Zhao brothers and sisters. Looking at the withered, yellow and sparse sweet potato seedlings, she was really worried that even the sweet potatoes were not growing.
Their sweet potato seedlings are okay. According to Tan Shaoting, it is possible for the sweet potatoes on the entire farm and their fields to grow.
It was too hot, so the two began to peel off the mulch.
Now the two of them didn't dare to water the water. Su Yuanyuan sincerely prayed that it would rain, otherwise it would be too difficult.
Maybe her prayers worked. It did rain that night. Although it was not heavy, it really alleviated the drought a lot.
The way Tan Shaoting looked at Su Yuanyuan was different. He came from that world of supernatural powers, and his understanding of the way of heaven was particularly obvious.
He was overwhelmed with thoughts, thinking that if Su Yuanyuan was really in his world, she must be a child of luck.
The two braved the rain and poured all the water in the storage bottle.
Su Yuanyuan saw that there was no water on the land, and it seeped directly into the ground. What a drought it was.
When I woke up the next day, I saw that the crops in the field were all standing upright, and they looked very energetic.
This is worth it. Even if there is still a drought, at least the harvest will not be lost.
"Yuanyuan, I'm going to the riverside. The water must be preserved."
"You drive there? Can you get some fish?"
"Okay. But I guess it won't be fresh when you get home."
"It's okay. It's good to have it. Give them some points. Even if it's just one day for one family, or a bowl of small fish."
