The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 265 The Vicious Female Supporting Flees to Farm (15)

Although the water in a pumping bucket entered the ditch, it was immediately absorbed by the mud.

But bucket after bucket of water was continuously poured into the ditch, and the water in the ditch gradually filled up, and then flowed down the ditch, passing through the bad land created by every household.

At this moment, everyone cheered excitedly.

"It's really water!"

"I'm not dreaming, am I?"

"Brother Hero, are you tired? Come on, come on, I'm here, I'm strong!"

"Hahaha! Do you want to be ashamed, Er Gouzi? In terms of strength, Brother Hero is the biggest!"

"What do you know! I'm afraid Brother Hero will be tired!"

Xu Yin said with a smile: "The water wheel has inertia. As long as the speed of the water flow does not decrease, it will generally not stop after running. But if you want to turn faster, you can also use human power to drive the wheel."

"Me, me, me! I'm coming!"

Everyone is scrambling for cars and water.

At this time, the leather monkeys of each family wanted to return the car and couldn't get on the wheel, so they were snatched by their father.

The rickshaws are fast, and the waterwheels are running fast, and a steady stream of water flows along the ditches to the distance.

On this day, everyone is as happy as a festival.

The field irrigation problem was solved, and Xu Yin also optimized the drinking water problem by the way.

The water I drank before was all water from streams and ridges collected from the mountainside, and I had to climb a section of mountain road.Because the stream below the mountainside is diverted, the flow is small, and it is difficult to catch it with a container.

I heard from Shi Feng that there was a bamboo forest on the back of the mountain, so she asked them to cut some bamboo back, cut it in half, cut off the bamboo joints, dug out the bamboo clothes, made a hole between each joint, and used the toughness Good thin rattan to wear.

Connected in this way, the natural brand "water pipe" runs from the water outlet of the stone wall on the mountainside to the foot of the mountain.

Everyone just take pots and buckets to pick up water, which saves everyone the time to go up and down the mountain.

The streams converge into the bamboo joints, gurgling down, 24 hours a day without stopping, and the daily drinking water of each family is enough.

Often when the container is full, the stream water will not stop for a moment.

Xu Yin took advantage of the situation and dug a hole nearby to serve as a reservoir.

Families whose barren fields are far away from ditches can also come here to scoop water to irrigate the fields.

The pool is not deep, and even if a child accidentally slips down, it only reaches their waist.

The scorching sun was in the sky, and the water in the pool was warmed by the sun, and there were even children taking a bath here.

Xu Yin couldn't bear to look directly.

Later, Erlang and his friends of the same age caught a few small miscellaneous fish in the river, and they were reluctant to eat them, so they kept them in the pond.

It's not that I take fish as a pet, but I want to keep it until the Chinese New Year to eat big fish.

I heard Xu Yin say it seriously: the fish are frightened and don’t grow up, and those children who always love to play and bathe in the pond in the afternoon have never been in the water again—everyone wants to wait until the Chinese New Year to eat big fish.

Xu Yin rubbed her chin and thought: Isn't this a fish pond?
But almost all the fish that Erlang catches are small white strips, not to mention raising them until the Chinese New Year, and they will not grow into the big fish he expected until the Chinese New Year next year.

Xu Yin quietly put a few rice flower fry in the pond, throwing some fish food into it regularly.

The children of Erlang would dig some earthworms to feed them from time to time. The small fish pond doubles as a reservoir, and the children lay down to watch it every day.

There was a light rain yesterday, and the thatched roof was wet. Xu Yin took it down to dry it, and weaved some new ones along the way.

Baobuqi will rain again one day, and there are no tiles and we can only rely on the straw awning to keep out the rain.

I heard that tiles are sold in the city, but the price is not cheap.She is now a "famine victim", where can she get the money to buy tiles?
But we can't weave straw awnings twice in three days, she wants to free her hands!

Besides, it's okay if the rain is light, what if there is a downpour and the grass canopy is cut through?

While compiling, Xu Yin pondered the feasibility of private kilns.

I asked Chen Mancang and the others before, and everyone said that they had never heard of being arrested for firing a kiln, but the main reason is that there is no kiln in this area, and even if there is a kiln, it is government-owned.

At this time, Shi Fengnian came happily carrying a bamboo basket:

"Brother Heroes, look! I caught a pheasant, it's still alive! Add something to you!"

"Have you gone hunting?"

"Where is it! I found it when I went to chop firewood. The mountain is too small, and there are no tricks. The mountain behind my house is called big! I wandered around for three or five days, and I have never been empty-handed."

It was only after Xu Yin went to the mountain to cut bamboo that she realized that there were no flowers on this mountain except for the trees for firewood, and there were very few wild vegetables and fruits.

But even if it is less, Erlang still goes up the mountain every day.

He and his friends of the same age often make appointments to dig wild vegetables and pick wild fruits together.

Fortunately, there are no animals in this mountain, and the pheasants have to be lucky to come across them.

Seeing that he was so eager to lighten the burden on his family, Xu Yin naturally would not stop him.

"By the way, Brother Hero, do you want to take your siblings to take a bath? A few of us found a good place to take a bath. The water in the small lake is actually warm. When I come down, I will not only bring you chicken, but also take Put on a piece of clothing and go take a bath!"

"Is the water in the lake hot?"

Isn't that the hot spring?
Who doesn't want to soak in a hot spring bath!

Although she can boil hot water to take a bath every day after the house is built, wiping her body with a soaked towel is nothing compared to soaking in a hot spring.

"Where is the lake you are talking about? I don't have time right now. I have to lay the roof first and go there later."

"Lay the roof?" Shi Fengnian saw that they had made a lot of thatched tents, he climbed up to the roof, and stretched out his hand to Xu Yin, "Come on, you throw it up, and I will spread it for you. Isn't it very fast! Let's go together! There are so many people!"

Xu Yin: "..."

Erlang suddenly held his stomach and said, "Oh, my stomach hurts, I have to find a place to poop!"

When Shi Fengnian helped Xu Yin lay the roof, the boy hadn't come out yet.

Shi Fengnian shouted: "Erlang, are you alright?"

Only Erlang said weakly: "It's okay! It will take a while. Brother Fengnian, go take a bath first, don't wait for me, I'm always slow to poop! And I can't urge, once I urge me, I won't be able to..."

Hearing what he said, Xu Yin knew he was pretending.

Li Erlang, you will be wronged if you are not born in later generations to be a film king!

Seeing that he didn't come out, Shi Fengnian had no choice but to say: "Brother Hero, I'll go first. Brother Feng and the others are still waiting for me. The small lake will be over the east mountain, at the foot of the East Col. If you are worried about getting lost, wait I'm back, I'll accompany you!"

After Shi Fengnian left, Erlang came out poking his head out: "What about sister-in-law? If he insists on going with us, wouldn't you be revealing yourself?"

Xu Yin laughed and said: "Then you go with him, remember the way to go, and tell sister-in-law when you come back."

Erlang suddenly felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and patted his thin chest and said, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I must have memorized the road by heart!"

Next, Erlang took Sanmei to pick up stones and pull weeds, and Xu Yin slaughtered the pheasant.

It is said to be pheasant, but it is actually a large bird. There is not much meat in the braise, so I soaked a lot of mushrooms and made a chicken soup.
