Preparing medicine, weighing it, reading prescriptions, and calculating prices are all things Nier is now adept at doing, but at that time she had to pretend that she didn't understand, which really honed her acting skills.

People say spring rain is as precious as oil, but since that day, no raindrops have been seen since then.

The seeds in the ground have begun to sprout, and without rain, we can only fetch water.

Although the place to fetch water is not far away, it takes many trips back and forth to irrigate one acre of land. The shoulders will be rubbed and bleeding. People are so tired that they complain and look forward to rain every day.

Due to the drought for several days, the water level of Panjin River dropped sharply, the riverbed was almost exposed, and the water in the wells was almost dry.

Nier went up the mountain and saw that the pipeline built by her father had taken shape. Water should be able to flow through it today. This place is not far from the two acres of fertile land, but it is closer to the wasteland. If the wasteland is reclaimed, she can use mountain spring water directly to irrigate the land in the future.

Yes, Nie'er has not visited the wasteland yet, so why not go and take a look today.

Carrying the backpack, I walked to the foot of the mountain. There was a large piece of wasteland with no owner and nothing would grow there.

【Field Improver】

Nier, who was worried, was delighted when she heard the voice of the system.

There is actually such a thing.

"how much is it?"

[Two taels of silver for one mu of land]

Looking at the endless land in front of us, it would take at least several hundred acres and two hundred taels of silver to dig up all the wild vegetables on the hills.

However, my medical skills have not yet been fully mastered, and I cannot treat patients alone.

Looks like I have to think of another way to make money.

When we got home, the bamboo pipe had already reached the door, and my father was installing the last section, and it would soon be completed.

There was no time to eat, and several people watched anxiously until everything was finally ready.

The third brother pulled the stopper off the bamboo, and the spring water flowed out directly. Yan Zi's eyes were red, and she pursed her lips, but couldn't hold back and tears flowed down.

Niu Li couldn't wait to take a sip, "It's so sweet~"

Nier watched the water gurgling down and took a sip. She thought it tasted better than on the mountain. "Dad, Mom, come and try it~"

Lao San and Yan Zi each scooped up a handful of water, drank it in small sips, and smiles appeared on their faces.

Yan Zi hugged Ni Er and said, "My baby, you are really the lucky star of our family."

Niu Li also came forward and said, "Mom is right, my sister is the lucky star of our family."

Nier felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, and quickly diverted the focus away from herself, "Dad deserves the most credit. He has lost weight after working for so many days. Let's eat quickly and give Dad a good boost."

"Dad won't take credit from you. This idea was yours. From now on, our family won't have to fetch water. It saves your mother and me a lot of trouble."

The third child picked up the two children and went into the house.

Strangely enough, on the day the third pheasant was sent to Doctor Zhao, several animals were found dead at the door of his house. The third brother's family had no shortage of meat for the next few days.

Although everyone was very curious about what was going on, they could not find out who sent it.

But it’s always good to have meat to eat, and the complexions of the family of four are getting better and better.

"Dad, it's been quite dry recently. How are the crops growing?"

Nier thought that she couldn't monopolize such a useful water source by herself, what if someone didn't like it and put something in it... You shouldn't have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others. The best way is for everyone to use it together.

The third brother put down his chopsticks and paused. "The growth is acceptable. People with less land can still carry water to irrigate the land, but people with more land can't take care of it."

"If it doesn't rain again, I'm afraid we won't even be able to pay taxes this year."

After hearing this, several people frowned to varying degrees, even Niu Li was no exception.

The harvests in the past few years were average, and after paying taxes, they lived a tight life. The family of four knew very well the feeling of not having enough to eat and being so hungry that they couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.

Now we have meat to eat every day. If we go back to that kind of life, I will definitely not be able to get used to it.

Ni'er originally thought that this matter was not urgent, but it seems that she has to go to the village head to discuss this matter tonight.

"Dad, after dinner, let's go find the village head."

The third brother thought from the bottom of his heart that what Ni'er said now made sense. According to Ni'er's idea, life at home would definitely get better and better. He agreed without thinking, "Yes."

It took a while for him to realize, "Why are we looking for the village chief uncle?"

Nier answered slowly, "Dad, we have such a good water source at home. We can share it with everyone, saving the villagers from working so hard to water the fields every day."

"If we divert this water to the fields, we won't have to worry about not being able to harvest crops even if it doesn't rain."

Yan Zi lowered her eyes and felt sorry for Ni'er. Before, everyone in the village looked down on her for being unlucky. Although it was just a coincidence of a few things, if word of mouth spreads from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, even if it is not true, it will become true. A drop of spit can drown a person.

In addition, Ni'er's grandmother wanted to sell her at the time, which caused the child to break her head. This hatred will never be forgotten.

Nier understood that her mother was speaking up for her, but she was the one who gave herself the reputation, and no one could forget what happened before, nor was it possible for them to forget. However, she had to live her life, and it had to get better and better.

Nier held her mother's hand and said, "Mom, you don't have to feel sorry for me. Those rumors will disappear as our family becomes more and more prosperous. They will be jealous then."

Yan Zi raised her eyes and looked at Ni'er's determined gaze. She felt that she was no better than a child. She should have such energy and ignore those rumors.

"Yes, let them be jealous."

Ni'er and her father took advantage of the moonlight and went to the headman's house together.

The family had just finished dinner.

The head of the village thought that Niu Laosan had encountered some difficulties and wanted to ask him for help, so he quickly invited the two men in and arranged a small stool for each of them.

"Third brother, have you encountered any difficulties? Tell me."

Niu Laosan knew that the village head had misunderstood him, so he pushed Ni'er forward and said, "It's not me who has something to do, it's Ni'er who has something to ask you."

The head of the village looked at the child for a while and felt that he was a little different from the previous two days.

"Grandpa Lizheng, I want to invite you to come with me to see something."

I don’t know why Ni’er felt that the village head would follow her to see it, and when the family was divided, he also gave her a chance to speak, and would not disrespect her just because she was a little kid.

The village head didn't ask what it was or why, and prepared to follow the two men out.

The headman's wife called him aside and said, "A little kid called you, and you really went there? It shouldn't be something important. You can go tomorrow. It's so late now."

The head of the village patted his wife's shoulder and said, "Ni'er is different now. She is very reliable in what she says and does. I'll go and take a look. If you are worried, I'll let Zhuzi go with me."

Seeing that he was determined to go, the village head's wife did not stop him and said, "Zhu Zi, go with your father."
