Of course Tan Shaoting wouldn't have any objection, so he drove there during the day.
The temperature at night was of course lower than during the day, so when Tan Shaoting arrived at the riverside, there was no one there.
He squatted by the water, used the diversion tool, and filled all five storage bottles. Then he started collecting fish.
Along the way, I saw no one working in the fields.
Everyone is really happy about the rain. This is equivalent to hope.
There were five boxes of fish collected, of various sizes. There was ice given by Su Yuanyuan in the storage ring, and I put a piece in each basket. It was better than nothing.
He was quite anxious to go back. He didn't care, but he liked to see the little girl's surprised expression.
After Tan Shaoting left, Su Yuanyuan drove to the home of the Zhao brothers and sisters.
I saw a lot of water containers in their yard. This is also a solution.
The five siblings were not at home, so she went to the fields and watched them weeding.
In fact, this will reduce all threats to crops.
"Yuanyuan, are you here? You didn't weed?"
"There isn't much grass in my field, so I'll just leave it like this."
Looking at the crops that were full of energy, and looking at the smiles on the faces of the brothers and sisters, Su Yuanyuan felt that this was really good.
After staying for a while, she left. There was still a lot of work at home, but fortunately there were no pigs, chickens or anything like that.
Along the way, I saw that every household was weeding in the fields, and most of them were planting corn. The corn stalks looked very thin. If there is no rain in the future, it is estimated that there will be no food.
I was in a bad mood after returning home. No one would be happy to see such a scene.
Collect all the leeks in the yard. If you have the opportunity this year, go outside and sell all the green vegetables in the space.
This should be in very short supply. Su Yuanyuan thought about taking the train all the way and staying in each city for a day or two.
After feeding the animals at night, she went straight to bed. Without Tan Shaoting practicing by her side, she had no idea.
She had a dreamless night, and she was woken up at around four o'clock the next day.
"You came back very quickly."
"It's okay. Do you want to send these fish out now?" The ice has melted, and it seems that the fish have not aged.
"Okay. I'll set up the car while you wash up, eat, and rest."
Su Yuanyuan cut leeks and picked a few cucumbers before driving to Zhao's house.
At this time, the five brothers and sisters had already gone to the ground. Su Yuanyuan was waiting by the ground, and Zhao Yanli ran over.
"Yuanyuan, what are you talking about? Is this a fish?"
"Yes. I have brought you fish. There are also these vegetables. Find a basin quickly. I have to go to Team Leader Ma's house and Field Director Feng's house."
"I'll pickle it with salt later." Zhao Yanli said with a smile.
Su Yuanyuan didn't arrive home until after six o'clock. Both Ma Changshun and Feng Baoshan were very grateful to Su Yuanyuan. She explained that Tan Shaoting went to the river to check the water conditions and caught him by the way.
When she got home, she saw Tan Shaoting watering the Japanese melon seedlings.
In fact, their melon vines are growing very well.
There were still two barrels of fish left, so Su Yuanyuan boiled them in salt water for a while, took them out and dried them in the sun.
Entering August, the weather has become even hotter. Even after that rain, there is nothing after that, and the crops have not been relieved at all. The corn is even more pitiful, the corn cobs are too small, and some fields have not grown at all.
Corn on the cob.
Their three acres of land is okay, but the corn cobs are much smaller.
There is no use worrying now.
The two of them also watered each seedling regularly. But the general environment is like this, and the water they water is better than nothing. There is simply no condition for large-scale irrigation.
But sweet potatoes and potatoes are already growing, which is much better than others.
Su Yuanyuan went to the fields owned by the Zhao brothers and sisters. Their potatoes and sweet potatoes also had fruits, but they were too small.
In the evening, the two of them had a meal in the yard, sorghum rice with water, a stir-fried pork with beans, eggs with leeks, and an eggplant with minced garlic.
"Okay, stop doing this. You can't defy God."
"Ahem. It would be nice if it rained again for my dear father. Then life wouldn't be too difficult."
If only their fields produce food and others still have no harvest, then it’s really hard to say.
Tan Shaoting chuckled from the side. "I hope your father can hear your thoughts and fulfill your wishes."
Su Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Tan Shaoting. She knew she was lucky. But she didn't believe she was that lucky.
"Do you think I'm too greedy?"
"Greedy? What are you greedy for?"
"Ahem. Forget it. If it really rains this time, even if it's difficult in the future, I won't embarrass my biological father."
When it rained again at night, Tan Shaoting woke up Su Yuanyuan, who was sleeping soundly.
"Your father is really good to you. Do you think this rain came in time? And it's even heavier than the last rain."
Su Yuanyuan jumped off the kang and ran out to take a look.
Putting his hands together, "Thank you, dear dad. I will never make unreasonable demands in the future. Thank you."
At this time, Tan Shaoting felt that the rain was getting heavier.
"Okay, come back and go to sleep."
Su Yuanyuan nodded and returned to the kang excitedly. How could she sleep now?
"Tan Shaoting, do you think I am really a person favored by God?"
Tan Shaoting also got on the kang, sat next to her, smiled and nodded.
"Yes, you are the one favored by God."
"Do you think my request is a bit unreasonable? Next time I won't dare to ask for anything easily."
Seeing the little girl's scared look, Tan Shaoting felt that his hands were itchy. He rubbed her head, but she avoided it.
"Everything has its limit. So it's a good thing not to ask for it in the future."
"Well, I understand. Do you want to practice? I'll practice too."
Su Yuanyuan rarely takes the initiative to practice. It must be because this girl has lost her mind.
The weather cleared up the next day. Su Yuanyuan dug the soil with a shovel outside, and there was a shovel depth of humidity.
This time there was great relief.
Su Yuanyuan put her hands together, closed her eyes, and had a smile on her face.
Tan Shaoting looked at her with a smile.
The two of them also started pulling weeds after breakfast.
"I think it's better to wait two days before shoveling the grass with a hoe." Tan Shaoting felt that the ground was quite wet.
Su Yuanyuan stayed at home to tidy up the vegetable garden. Tan Shaoting went out for a walk and saw that everyone was replanting.
After asking, I found out that I was growing cabbage and radish. Now it is impossible to grow anything else, that is, I only grew these two types. They were not mature enough when it was time to freeze, so I put them away. This will also be life-saving food at that time.
He hurried home and saw Su Yuanyuan planting cabbage and radishes.
"If it doesn't work, we'll take it out and sell it."
"Are you going out again this year?"
Su Yuanyuan nodded, "Yes, we have so much grain and vegetables on hand, let's sell them. We can get good things, and others can get grain. It's the best of both worlds."
