Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family
Chapter 248: Watering the Fields
The weather is getting hotter day by day. By August, it is so hot that it makes people feel a little breathless.
Many ice basins are placed in Zheng Xiaoman’s house every day.
But even so, everyone was still too hot to cheer up.
This is because their family has enough ice to use. No one else's family would be willing to spend money to buy ice, so they can only sit like this.
A few days later, I heard that an old lady in the village had suffered from heatstroke. If Doctor Sun had not arrived quickly, the old lady would have probably died.
When the family was having dinner in the evening, Zheng Dashan said, "The weather is really too hot. When I went to the fields today, I found that the fields were dry and cracked due to lack of water.
Tomorrow morning I will lead people to fetch water to irrigate the fields, but it is not a solution to continue like this."
Old man Zheng took two bites of the rice in the bowl and put down his chopsticks. It was so hot that he had no appetite even for food.
"It doesn't look like it will rain for a while, so we have to water the fields every morning and evening. Also, let's dig a well in the backyard and store some water in advance."
"Got it, Dad. I'll get someone to dig another well tomorrow."
Zhou Chunfeng said with some worry: "I don't know what the situation is outside now. If there is really a severe drought, won't there be chaos here?"
Zheng Dashan shook his head. "I don't know yet. I'll go with you to the city during Qingming Festival in a few days. I'll find out what's going on outside."
Old Man Zheng said, "We should go with you. If things get chaotic outside, don't let anything happen to the kids."
Zheng Qingming followed and said, "Shu Huai and Jiang Tai will go with us when the time comes, so we can have someone to take care of us on the way."
Zheng Xiaoman quickly handed the key to the house she bought to her brother, "Brother, this is the key to my yard in Fucheng. You can just live there when you get there."
The yard she bought has never been visited by anyone except her family.
Zheng Qingming took the key with a smile, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Xiaoman. This time, we don't have to stay at the inn."
Zhou Chunfeng smiled and said, "Yes, it's quieter to live in your own yard. There are so many people in the inn, and you can't read books in peace.
When the time comes, I will let Mrs. Zhou go with you and cook for you and do the laundry for you."
"Mom, no need. We are all adults now. We can do these things by ourselves."
Zhou Chunfeng waved her hand, "Mom knows you can do it, but isn't the exam your top priority right now? Don't worry about these little things."
Zheng Xiaoman also said: "That's right, brother. The college entrance examination will take several days. You are already very tired taking the exam every day. Don't worry about these things about eating and drinking."
"Okay then." Seeing that his mother and sister said so, Zheng Qingming had no choice but to agree.
The next day, just after dawn, Zheng Xiaoman heard some noise in the yard outside.
She opened her eyes drowsily, opened the window and looked out. It turned out that her father had taken Tietou and others to the river to fetch water for irrigating the fields.
Zheng Xiaoman thought that she had to ask the carpenter what the waterwheel looked like today. There were only some small details that she had not drawn on the blueprint, but everything else that needed to be marked was marked.
All the materials have been prepared for him. It has been several days, and it is time for him to figure it out.
Because the waterwheel had not been made yet, she never told her family about it.
She arranged for Carpenter Li to live in the workshop, and everyone in the family thought that she was looking for the carpenter to make something for the workshop.
Zheng Xiaoman yawned. He wasn't sleepy anymore, so he just got up and went to the kitchen to make something to eat for his father and the others.
When she finished making breakfast, the people who went out to water the fields had not returned yet, so she took people to deliver breakfast to them.
When she arrived at the field, she found that not only her family was getting up early to water the fields, but almost everyone in the village had come out.
It's only six or seven in the morning, but the temperature feels like 32 or 33 degrees.
After a while, the fields will no longer be able to accommodate people.
"Dad, I've brought you breakfast, eat first and then work."
Zheng Xiaoman walked into the field and shouted loudly to his father.
Zheng Dashan stood up when he heard his daughter's voice and said, "Hey, Dad will come over after I finish pouring these two buckets of water."
He turned to Tietou and the others and said, "Everyone take a break and eat something first."
Tietou responded loudly, and the others also quickened their movements.
They got up early in the morning to fetch water to irrigate the fields, and their stomachs were already rumbling with hunger.
Zheng Dashan finished pouring the two buckets of water in his hands, wiped his hands and walked to the edge of the field.
Seeing that her father was covered in sweat, Zheng Xiaoman hurriedly handed him a towel.
"Dad, wipe your sweat first. I'll pour you a bowl of mung bean soup."
After the mung bean soup was cooked, she chilled it slightly with ice so that it tasted slightly cool, but not too cold to make the stomach uncomfortable.
Zheng Dashan took the mung bean soup handed to him by his daughter with a smile and drank the soup in the bowl in two gulps.
"Wow, this bowl of mung bean soup really makes me feel much cooler. Girl, give dad another bowl."
Zheng Xiaoman took the empty bowl from his father and said, "Dad, you are on an empty stomach now. You can't drink so much cold mung bean soup. It will hurt your stomach. Eat something first and then drink it after you eat."
"Hahaha, okay, let's drink after dinner."
Zheng Dashan was not unhappy about being controlled by his daughter. He took the porridge and steamed buns handed to him by his daughter and started eating them in big mouthfuls.
Zheng Xiaoman also brought a lot of side dishes, including spicy cabbage and pickled cucumbers, which are all appetizing.
The others also came back, each holding their bowls of porridge and slurping their meal.
Tietou took a bite of spicy cabbage and a steamed bun, and said with a smile: "Our eldest daughter's cooking skills are really good. She can even cook this cabbage so deliciously."
As he said this, he picked up another large piece of spicy cabbage and put it into his mouth.
The others also agreed with a smile, saying that the eldest lady was not only skilled in cooking, but also beautiful and kind.
Be it food or other aspects, the eldest lady has never treated them unfairly.
The life they have now is something that even ordinary people cannot compare to.
After all, ordinary families can't afford to eat meat once a week, so they can raise and eat the rest of the chicken, duck, fish and meat themselves.
They also have two new clothes for each season of the year. This was a life they had never dared to imagine before.
Zheng Xiaoman listened to everyone's conversation with a smile, "If you like it, eat as much as you want. We still have plenty of spicy cabbage. After dinner, there is also green bean soup. You can each have a bowl to get rid of the heat.
The weather is so hot, don't get heat stroke. If anyone feels uncomfortable, dizzy or nauseous, please speak up immediately, don't just stand by it, okay?"
Everyone nodded, "We got it, Miss."
After everyone finished their meal, Zheng Xiaoman and the others cleaned up the dishes and then got up to go home.
