I am happy to be a mother in a famine year, I have a system to farm the land

Thinking of the situation in their own fields, everyone couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing.

Now is the year of disaster, and it is not easy to let some crops grow in the fields.

Li was hearing Zhu Qiuqi's words, but his eyes lit up.

"Qiu Qi led these two branches out of the village, probably because he wanted to lead the water to the fields outside our village."

Everyone looked carefully, and sure enough, Zhu Qiuqi got two branches, one in the west and one in the east, which happened to be the field planted by their Xiaozhangzhuang people.

Zhu Qiuqi nodded, "I heard from my mother before that in a disaster year, the grain in everyone's fields may not be harvested. I thought about it carefully. The reason why the crops in the field are not growing well is that the grain planting is not as full as in previous years. In addition, the other is also because of the lack of water."

Everyone agrees with Zhu Qiuqi's words. The crops in their fields are not growing as well as in previous years. Isn't the biggest reason because of the lack of water?

"Could it be because of this that Qiu Qi wants to send the undercurrent water to the fields?"

Someone guessed Zhu Qiuqi's thoughts, but they couldn't help frowning.

It's not like they didn't think about diverting the water from the undercurrent to the fields before. It can be said that the water in the undercurrent has reached the fields. How can the people in Xiaozhangzhuang use water?

"Qiuqi, it's not my aunt who said it. Although your method is good, if the undercurrent goes to the fields, we in Xiaozhangzhuang will not have enough water."

"Yes, yes, there is only so little water in the undercurrent, and it all flows into the fields. We all don't even have enough water to drink."

Although I don't know whether the crops in the field can still be harvested, everyone is still a little reluctant to pour water into the field for nothing.

After all, everyone has stockpiled a lot of lotus roots at home before, which is enough for everyone to get through this year.

But if all the water in this undercurrent flowed into the fields, wouldn't they have to wait to die if they had no water to drink?

This is something that everyone is unwilling to mention, and it is also a common understanding of everyone. If there is no water source, don’t everyone just wait to be tortured to death by the disaster year?

Lizheng frowned when he heard everyone's discussion. Before, he really thought that Zhu Qiuqi's method of diverting the undercurrent to the fields was good, but now hearing the reminder from the villagers, Lizheng couldn't help but feel worried.

"That's right, Qiuqi, if all the water goes to the fields, then there won't be enough water in our village."

Seeing everyone's concern, Zhu Qiuqi pointed to something similar to a gate that she had drawn at the branch on the picture.

"Have you seen this small door?"

Everyone nodded. They had seen this thing before, but they didn't know what purpose Zhu Qiuqi drew, so they didn't mention it.

"Actually, I have thought about the things you raised before, and I am also worried that if the water flows into the fields, what should we do if we don't have enough water in our daily life? But it is not a problem if the crops in our fields are not harvested. Son."

When everyone heard Zhu Qiuqi's words, they thought of the crops in their own fields, and felt distressed for a while.

After all, so many seeds have been planted in the field, and it would be a major blow to them if there were no harvests.

"Could it be that the little door you drew has other uses?"

Although everyone disagreed with the undercurrent flowing into the fields, Zhu Qiuqi actually mentioned this small gate, which made everyone focus on the small gate.

Because the two things that Zhu Qiuqi did before were beneficial to Xiao Zhangzhuang, everyone felt that what Zhu Qiuqi said must be because of some other function of this small gate.

Zhu Qiuqi nodded, "The method I proposed is related to this small gate. In fact, everyone's water consumption is limited in normal times."

"But apart from our daily water use, we can't waste the rest of the water. Instead of wasting it, it's better to flow the excess water to the fields, which can also relieve the crops in our fields."

Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard this. Who would have thought that Zhu Qiuqi would say such a waste of water.

"Qiu Qi, you may have misunderstood. In this famine year, no one dares to waste water casually."

Zhu Qiuqi denied it, saying: "Everyone must have discovered that the undercurrent in the lotus pond in the back mountain is actually coming out continuously."

"If these water flows accumulate to a certain extent in the canal, the water will definitely overflow, so wouldn't the overflowing water be wasted?"

Everyone was stunned for a while when they heard this.

Although the undercurrent in the lotus pond in the back mountain was a bit small, it did flow out continuously as Zhou Qi said.

If the water source keeps gushing out, one day the water in the canal will overflow.

As Zhu Qiuqi said, although they did not waste the water voluntarily, due to the limited capacity of the canal, the water was bound to overflow.

Instead of letting the water overflow to waste, it is better to pour the water into the fields of their Xiaozhangzhuang.

Zhu Qiuqi saw that everyone understood, and then pointed to the east and west sides of the village when she came over.

"The two sides are the crops planted by people in our village. If the water in the canal overflows at that time, and everyone has enough water at home, then we will open the gate and let the water flow into the fields. Everyone will take this opportunity to Clean the canal and let the water in the undercurrent flow out again."

Everyone did not consider this at first, but now that they heard the explanation of Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone's eyes became brighter and brighter.

Well, instead of letting that water overflow and go to waste, it would be better to put the water in the fields.

"Qiuqi's method is good. Not only will our villagers have water, but the crops in this field will not be killed by the drought."

I don't know who suddenly yelled excitedly, causing everyone to come back to their senses.

All of a sudden, the small courtyard of the Zhang family was filled with cheers from everyone.Rao Lizheng, the hand holding the blueprint was trembling for a long while, unable to calm down.

"Qiu Qi, if this canal is completed, you will be the biggest contributor to our village."

Regarding Li Zheng's remarks, no one in Xiaozhangzhuang could refute this time.

The lotus roots that their families eat now are all given to them by Zhu Qiuqi. Now they can use the water source because of Zhu Qiuqi. It is not an exaggeration to say that Zhu Qiuqi is the great hero of their Xiaozhangzhuang.

However, Li was staring at the blueprint for a long while, and suddenly frowned, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Qiu Qi, if the water flows outside the village, wouldn't other villages discover the undercurrent in Xiaozhang Village?"
