Siheyuan: Sap is the last word

Although the villagers made great efforts to save the seedlings, God did not seem to give them a chance to breathe. Soon after, a prolonged drought descended on the region, threatening farmland again.

He Yudong and the villagers are becoming more and more anxious, knowing that the dry season will have a great impact on crops. The dry land cracked, and the crops began to turn yellow and thin. Wells are also drying up, making their irrigation more difficult.

At this difficult time, villagers have rallied again and made every effort to protect their crops. They began digging deep wells in search of underground water sources to ensure their crops could get enough water. At the same time, they have also taken closer water-saving measures to ensure that every drop of water is fully utilized.

He Yudong stood in the drought-cracked farmland, his brows furrowed. He looked at the seedlings of crops and prayed that they would survive this dry period. He said: "We have experienced heavy floods and floods, and now we have to persevere through the dry season. No matter what God does, we have to persevere and cherish food."

He Yudong was sitting in a small house in the village, with beads of sweat on his forehead and feeling extremely anxious. Faced with the severe challenges of the dry season, he felt overwhelmed and did not know what actions to take to protect their crops and food supplies.

The village elders, too, began to feel anxious and sat together in meetings to try to find ways to deal with the drought. One elder suggested: "Maybe we can bring in an expert to know how to deal with the difficulties of the dry season." The other elders agreed and thought it was a wise decision.

After He Yudong heard this proposal, he decided to go to a nearby city to find expert help in person. He walked for several hours through cracked roads and finally reached the city. In the city, he consulted agricultural experts about how to deal with the ongoing drought. Experts advise them to take water-saving measures, find deeper underground sources, and keep the soil as moist as possible.

He Yudong returned to the village and shared the experts' advice with the villagers. Everyone began to take emergency measures to deepen wells and establish irrigation systems to ensure that crops could get enough water. Although drought remains a huge challenge, they know they must act or they face the threat of famine.

He Yudong encouraged the villagers, saying: "We cannot let the dry season defeat us. We must persevere and cherish the food. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will get through it together." His determination and leadership inspired the villagers, and they began Take action and stop feeling helpless.

Although He Yudong and the villagers took water-saving measures and deepened the wellhead, the situation is still not optimistic. The severe drought in the dry season continues, and crops are still dull, thin and lifeless due to lack of water.

People in the village began to feel desperate, especially the elders. They looked at their farmland in desolation and could not bring any hope to the villagers. He Yudong also felt heavy. He once dreamed of improving the lives of the villagers through his own efforts and perseverance, but now, he feels that everything is in collapse.

One day, He Yudong stood in front of his farmland, meditating alone. His expression was solemn, but deep down in his heart, he was unwilling to give up easily. At this time, a villager came over. His name was Li Ming.

Li Ming patted He Yudong on the shoulder and said, "Brother He, we can't continue like this. I have an idea that may help us get through this crisis." He Yudong looked at Li Ming, hoping to hear a glimmer of hope.

Li Ming continued: "I heard that there is a grassland nearby with water sources. If we can drive the cattle to that grassland, maybe we can exchange for some food to get through this difficult period."

He Yudong's eyes shone with hope, and he nodded in agreement with the proposal. The villagers began to plan the operation. They needed to drive the cattle to the grassland in exchange for food. This was a dangerous and important task.

After several days of preparation, the villagers finally prepared the equipment to rush to the nearby grassland. Early in the morning, He Yudong and a group of brave villagers set out on a journey on oxen, with a few packhorses and some food on their backs. They knew it was a life-or-death mission, but they were unwilling to see their crops and families in dire straits.

The journey was not easy. The grassland was quite far away, the road was rugged, and the temperature was scorching hot. But the villagers braved the scorching sun without flinching. He Yudong led them and encouraged everyone's morale with firm words and tenacious spirit.

Finally, they came to the vast grassland. In the distance, they saw a group of herdsmen, their cattle and sheep eating green grass leisurely. He Yudong led the villagers to the group of herdsmen and explained their situation sincerely, hoping to exchange for some food to tide them over.

The herdsmen thought for a while and finally agreed to exchange food with the villagers. At this moment, the villagers breathed a sigh of relief because they knew that their mission was about to be completed.

They used pack horses to carry the exchanged grain back to the village. The bags of grain seemed to be the gift of life. The villagers were overjoyed because the crisis that had destroyed their hard work was temporarily averted.

He Yudong looked at the bags of food and said: "This is our belief in cherishing food and our determination to stick to it. We cannot give up easily. No matter how difficult it is, we must stick to it because this is our destiny." responsibility."

When He Yudong and the villagers returned to the village, the arrival of food brought some relief, but they understood that this was only a temporary solution. They need to find long-term solutions to ensure food supply.

So He Yudong decided to reclaim the crop land. He understood that although his previous efforts were in vain, he could not be discouraged. He gathered the villagers and began preparing to plant crops again after the dry season was over. The villagers rushed to respond, and a busy scene appeared in every field.

He Yudong personally led the villagers to plow the soil under the scorching sun and prepare to plant crops for the new season. Every time it was hoeing day at noon, they had hope in their hearts and their belief in cherishing food became stronger.

In the process, the villagers learned more agricultural knowledge, and they mastered more water-saving skills, making their crops stronger and more lush. They discovered that cherishing food is not just words, but also actions. They know that only through hard work can they ensure the food supply of the village and no longer be threatened by hunger.

The new season's crops grow lush and healthy, and the village regains its vitality. He Yudong and the villagers once again felt the joy of hope and satisfaction. They know that the belief in cherishing food is the soul of their village and the source of their life.

The villagers began to work in the crop fields. They helped each other and worked together. One day, when He Yudong was working hard in the crop fields, a young villager came over. His name was Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming said: "Brother He, I found a little bird in the crop field. It was trapped in the crops and could not fly out. Can we save its life?" He Yudong stopped, looked at Xiao Ming, and nodded in agreement.

The two of them carefully separated the crops and finally found the little bird. It was a beautiful little swallow that was injured. He Yudong gently picked up the swallow and carefully bandaged its wound.

Xiao Ming looked at He Yudong and asked, "Why do you want to save this little bird, Brother He?"

He Yudong smiled and replied: "Xiao Ming, this little bird also needs food and shelter, just like us. Food is an indispensable thing for us, but cherishing life is equally important. By saving this little swallow, we are also expressing our Respect and cherish life.”

Xiao Ming nodded to express his understanding. They carefully released the little swallow and watched it fly freely in the blue sky, their hearts filled with satisfaction and hope.

The village comes back to life and the harvest season comes. In a cheerful atmosphere, He Yudong and the villagers began to harvest the crops they had cultivated so hard. The golden ears of wheat sparkle in the sun, and the corn cobs are tall and plump, creating a fertile scene.

During the harvest season, villagers work together with sickles and harvesters to cut the crops, tie them into bundles, and transport them back to the village. He Yudong personally led the demonstration and demonstrated how to use the sickle to ensure that the crops were not wasted.

However, he also realized that cherishing food does not stop at the harvesting stage, but also includes storage and preservation. He summoned the villagers, held a village meeting, and proposed a new plan.

He Yudong said: "The crops have been harvested, but we also need to ensure that they can be stored longer. We should be equipped with various equipment, such as grain storage bags, fans, pesticides, etc., to ensure that our food will not be wasted. "

The villagers all agreed and were willing to work hard for this. As a result, villages began to equip various grain storage tools to ensure that their efforts would not be in vain and that the grain could be stored longer.

In order to improve food productivity, He Yudong and the villagers began to actively explore new agricultural technologies and methods. They understand that only through continuous innovation and improvement can they better cherish food and ensure the food supply of the village.

One day, He Yudong invited an agricultural expert to the village to explain modern agricultural technology to the villagers. Experts detail how to properly fertilize, irrigate, use pesticides and farm machinery to increase yields and reduce waste.

Experts said: "Through scientific agricultural management, you can speed up the growth of food, increase yields, and reduce waste. In addition, you can also avoid pests and diseases and ensure that crops grow robustly."

He Yudong and the villagers learned with an open mind and actively adopted these suggestions. They began to use new agricultural tools and rationally utilize water resources to ensure that every field received sufficient nutrients and moisture. Farmers became more professional, rushing back and forth across the fields and tending their crops.
