The scorching sun is the hottest time of the day!
When the group of three came to the field, they saw that the two elders were busy, wearing rubber shoes and straw hats, holding a shovel in their hands, dredging the water in the field, and doing it in full swing.

In the countryside, watering the fields is definitely a big deal.

Regardless of drought or not, who doesn't water the land twice?
Xiao Yao was also very familiar with this process, so he ran forward and said, "Mom and Dad, you can eat, I'll just watch."

"Son? Why are you here?"

Zhang Guifang scolded: "Go back quickly, why did you bring the leaves here, what's the sunburn?"

"It's okay, Mom, Ye Zi is not so delicate." Xiao Yao smiled wryly.

"Yes, I'm not afraid of heat."

Xiao Yezi held the lunch box in her hand, her face flushed and she said, "Grandpa and grandma, let's eat."

Seeing this, the second elder's heart warmed up, and he looked relieved, but when he saw Lin Qingxue again, Xiao Shan couldn't help but pretend to be angry and said: "Stinky boy, why did you bring Xiao Lin here, isn't this nonsense!"

In the eyes of the villagers, Lin Qingxue is the leader of the town, a high-ranking official, who doesn't touch the spring water with her ten fingers. She should be the kind who sits in the office facing the computer, blowing on the air conditioner and sorting out documents. How can she go to the field?
"Uncle and aunt, I want to come by myself."

Lin Qingxue explained: "I'll take a look at how our land is being irrigated, and I'll ask you about the drought situation so that I can organize everyone to fight the drought in the future."

"Uh, oh, it's well watered, let's go and sit over there."

Xiao Shan was dumb, and Zhang Guifang also had a strange expression on his face.

He does not mean that.

The word "our family" in Lin Qingxue's words just now was originally a kind name used by the lower level to establish a good relationship with the villagers. Xiao Yao also thought it was nothing, but it was different when it fell into the ears of the second elder.

Xiao Yao scratched his head, and led a group of people to the shade of the tree at the head of the field.

"Mom and Dad, why don't you tell me about watering the ground, at least you have to eat."

He thought it would take two days to water the ground, but he didn't expect the second elder to move so quickly.

"Yes, my son is right. People are iron, and food is steel. If you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry."

Xiao Shan exhorted: "You still have stomach problems, I asked you to go back to cook for a long time, if you don't go, I don't care if you get sick again."

"You don't care."

Zhang Guifang said frankly: "My illnesses are all cured now, and I don't want to work in the fields with you."

"I... don't I feel sorry for you." Xiao Shan complained.

Watching the two elders quarreling, Xiao Yao opened the lunch box with a smile and said, "Mom and Dad, this is the pheasant I hunted in the mountains today."

"Yo, your skills are really good!"

Xiao Shan took a piece of chicken and tasted it. The meat was delicious and chewy, but a bit spicy.

"Brat, chili doesn't cost money!"

Xiao Shan's face was red and his neck was thick. After eating a piece of chicken and the big sun, his forehead was sweating.

However, as he said so on his mouth, his body was very honest, and he took a piece and ate it with great joy.

Zhang Guifang looked at the greedy little girl, feeding her while eating, and thought, "Son, go and pick two watermelons, and we'll quench our thirst by sitting here."

"What? There are watermelons in the field?"

As soon as Xiao Yao heard it, he became excited, and he had to eat it with watermelon.

"It has been there for a long time. Here are crops, and the two acres of land over there are all watermelons." Zhang Guifang explained.

It wasn't until this time that Xiao Yao learned that half of his family's four acres of land were planted with watermelons.

But if you think about it, it’s not easy to grow watermelon on the mountain, and it’s always a problem when it’s harvested. It’s not as light as the fruit.

Moreover, watermelons also need to be watered. Now that there is a drought, they are watered along with the crops.

"Uncle and aunt, I have rice here, if you don't mind...you can have some."

Lin Qingxue weakly took out the black rice she had prepared, and the two elders looked at each other in a daze.

She didn't say anything, the second elder didn't even know it was rice, and seeing the second elder's expression, she became even more ashamed.

"Forget it, I'll go pick watermelon, it's easy to get cancer if you eat too much of it."

Xiao Yao clapped his hands and stood up, also wanting to take the opportunity to water the crops with spiritual springs.

"Stinky boy, shut your crow mouth!"

Xiao Shan took the lunch box and said, "Xiao Lin, you really have a heart, I'll try it."

"That's right, if you can't speak, don't speak!"

Lin Qingxue gouged out Xiao Yao's eyes, and looked at Xiao Shan expectantly.

"Uncle Xiao, how does it taste?"

"Uh, well, it's pretty good."

Xiao Shan couldn't swallow it, but he pretended to be delicious on the surface. Although it was a bit hard and a bit wasteful, he had a good heart after all.

"You can eat more if it's delicious, if it's not enough for me, there's more here."

Without realizing it, Lin Qingxue took out another lunch box.

"..."

Xiao Shan yelled at Xiao Yao: "Stinky boy, move quickly, Ye Zi is so thirsty!"

After hearing this, Xiao Yao smiled wryly, and went to the watermelon field, only to see that not only the leaves of the watermelon were withered and yellow, but also the vines were wilted. There were watermelons, but the skins were all yellow and they were not big.

He found a cover at random, closed his eyes and began to meditate, then took out a ladle of spiritual spring from the Lingtan.

But after thinking about it, the watermelon field has two acres, and he can't come one by one like watering the fruit trees.

Suddenly, Xiao Yao glanced at the pumping well beside him, and his eyes lit up.

The old well was about to dry up, but it was pumped up again by the second elder with the water pump of the sixth uncle's house.

He made up his mind, and immediately poured the spiritual spring into the old well. In this way, the well water and the spiritual spring merged, and not only the watermelon fields, but also the crop fields could evenly soak in the rain and dew.

"Let's flow, let's flow quickly..."

Xiao Yao poured a total of four scoops of spiritual spring into the old well, watching the water flow to the field with the ditch, he felt a little excited.

It is estimated that as long as you wait until tomorrow, you can see the effect.

On the other side, Xiao Shan urged again, Xiao Yao had no choice but to pick the two largest watermelons in the watermelon field, and carried them back to the field.

"Little Lin, come, eat watermelon."

Xiao Shan smashed the watermelon skillfully and handed it to Lin Qingxue and the little girl.

"Grandpa, this watermelon is not sweet." Xiao Yezi said bluntly.

"Oh, it's really not sweet."

Xiao Shan said with emotion: "God does not give food, if the drought continues like this, the crops will be affected."

Xiao Yao also tasted a piece of watermelon. Due to the lack of water, the watermelon was like white water, tasteless at all.

"Uncle Xiao, don't worry, I've been reporting to the leaders of the town these two days about implementing drip irrigation in our Taoyuan Village."

Lin Qingxue said with relief: "It's just in time for this special season, so this time the town will send people down to install drip irrigation belts for every household for free, without paying for it."

"Moreover, drip irrigation technology saves water and labor. If it can be practiced, everyone will never have to worry about watering the land again."

"real?!"

After hearing this, Xiao Shan said happily: "Xiao Lin, you are really working for everyone's welfare. If you can succeed, you will be a great benefactor to all the villagers in our Taoyuan Village!"

Xiao Yao looked at his father's excited appearance, and at the shy Lin Qingxue, and suddenly had a bold idea.

If the drip irrigation technology is also used for the fruit forest on the mountain, then I don't have to water the Lingquan myself in the future?
