Waste Wood Farming Notes

Chapter 60 The Beginning of the Drought

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't speak.

They all have bitter faces. They have no choice but to carry water to the field, but they are exhausted, and the seedlings in the field are still slowly dying. The whole family carries water, Can't pick them at all.

I can only watch them wither and die, and the remaining seedlings are also sickly. They must not have a good harvest this year, and I am afraid that they will lose everything by then!

If it doesn't rain, they can't do anything about it. The wild vegetables by the river are still good, but this year's harvest must be bad. If there is not enough food, they can only rely on the wild vegetables they dug in the ground, so for a while, The wild vegetables in the field are very popular.

At the foot of the mountain, a large number of wild vegetables have been picked, and there are very few left. If you want to pick wild vegetables, you have to go to the mountain to pick them.

When there are no wild vegetables, and if there is not enough food, they are life-saving things. Everyone is constantly collecting them. Looking at it, I am afraid that there will be a drought this year. If you don’t prepare now, the grass roots will be dead No need to eat.

Li Tianfu looked at his milk, Li Liushi waited for everyone to finish whispering, then stood up and said, "Village Chief, I have something to say, I wonder if everyone still remembers the drought back then?"

Speaking of this, the older people on the field couldn't help but change their faces, and the younger generation looked at each other. They had never heard of this incident, but seeing the changes in the faces of other people, they knew what it was. Good things come.

"...Everyone be quiet." Li Tianfu waited for them to talk for a while, and then lowered the voices of others, and waited for the eyes of others to fall on them, then Li Tianfu sat down and asked Li Liushi to continue Play your own speech.

"It hasn't rained for two months. Looking at the weather, it seems that it will not rain for a while. I guess it may be a drought, and the water level in the river has dropped a lot, so I thought Thinking, should we pull out the rice in the field and plant sweet potatoes instead, the sweet potatoes are drought-resistant, and after a year of hard work, there is no harvest, but we still have some sweet potatoes to fill our stomachs."

"This can save some water. If it doesn't rain, the water in the river won't last long..." Mrs. Li Liu continued, "I suggest that everyone change to planting sweet potatoes, and then do a good job of water storage. Prepare."

After speaking, Mrs. Li and Liu sat down, and everyone present was silent. They didn't know how to answer this suggestion. They were simply shocked. They pulled out the rice in the field. Is this possible?

If it rains later, wouldn't they be at a loss?

After all, rice is valuable!But it really didn't rain until then, and they didn't even have food to wait for the next harvest.

Everyone present was lost in thought, on the one hand, they were reluctant to part with these grown rice, and on the other hand, they were afraid that there was really nothing to eat.

While other people were discussing this matter, Mrs. Li sat in her seat, standing still. She had already raised this question, and most of them would choose this kind of sweet potato, especially those who had experienced the drought. will be chosen like this.

As for those other people, Li Liushi sighed in her heart, they didn't believe her words, and there was nothing she could do.

The village head took a deep look at Mrs. Li and Liu, and then motioned for everyone to calm down, "The weather is indeed not right. If the river water is gone, there will indeed be problems. If you switch to sweet potatoes, you can indeed save a lot. The water level of the wells has also dropped, so in the following time, before it rains, the daily water use is stipulated, and it is not allowed to exceed that range. The wells in the village cannot be used for the time being, and everyone tries to carry water from the river."

The water in the river is not only used by people in their village. Of course, the water in the river should be used up first, and then the water in the village can be used.

Li Tianfu raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and said nothing. Although this method is useless, it can make them give up earlier the idea of ​​saving the rice in the field.

"What is your family going to do? If you don't grow rice, what will you do with the tax you have to pay?"

"I'm going to plant sweet potatoes! When the crops fail, at least I'll have something to fill my stomach."

"Isn't there a lot of taro at home? I won't change it. If there's nothing to eat, just eat taro."

"Everyone calm down first, the water in the river is free for everyone to use, but from now on, you can't use water from the well." The village chief announced this decision, because he led everyone to dig taro and discovered this energy. Because of this, his prestige has reached an unprecedented level. Once he speaks, even if everyone is unhappy, there is nothing they can do.

"We will continue to find a solution to this matter. We suggest that everyone grow sweet potatoes instead." The village chief said, then waved his hand to signal to everyone that they dismissed the meeting.

When the crowd left together in threes and fives, Fugeer and Li Liushi stayed behind. He Anle walked over with a bench in one hand, "Grandma, do you want Fugeer to go together?"

Li Tianfu lowered his voice, so as not to let the rest of the people pay too much attention to the two of them, "Brother He, please help move the bench back first, my grandma and I have something to do, don't wait for me."

He hoped that He Anle would stay, but Brother He had a foreign surname, so talking to the village chief was not suitable for him to stay.

After all the people had left, the village head came over with a bad face, "How did you mention that incident just now?"

If one is not careful, it will cause everyone to panic.

If the sweet potatoes were changed and it rained again, those who changed them would blame their family.

Li Liushi sighed and explained, "It hasn't rained for two months. I have a bad feeling in my heart. It's exactly the same feeling before the disaster when I was a child. I'm also worried about everyone. , if it is the same as that time, after a few years of disasters, the village we have developed with great difficulty here will be destroyed again."

As he spoke, Li Liushi's eyes became moist, and he said without complaint or regret for their village, "Even if everyone blames me, it's better than watching everyone starve to death!"

Both of them have experienced those things, so they naturally understand that if this kind of disaster really happens, it will last for several years at a time. If the harvest is not good for several years in a row, the life of their villagers will not be easy.

After so many years, the weather here has always been smooth, and the annual harvest is good. In this rainy season, there is no drop of rain for two consecutive months. This kind of thing is rare.

He is different from those young people, and he has great feelings in his heart. What if what she said comes true?Coupled with the fact that Grand Duke Li Liushi selflessly told the villagers that taro is edible, he felt that Li Liushi was not as indifferent as he appeared on the surface.

If Li Liushi knew what he was thinking now, she might sneer. She just didn't want to watch them starve to death. If they all starved to death, or came to their house to borrow food, their family Where is so much grain lent to them?

At that time, there will be people who starve to death in every household, and their family is complete, and the others are not fools. You can definitely guess that they have a lot of food in their homes. In order to survive with one bite, what kind of people are there? Can't do it?

She was only thinking about their family, Li Liushi thought to herself, and then she became more determined in her belief.

"Let's look at this matter in a few days." The village chief said calmly. As the village chief, most people in the village will watch his actions to decide this matter, and plan to call his son back. Take a trip and ask how other places are doing now, "If it doesn't rain in a few days, then you can plant sweet potatoes instead."

Tomorrow, someone will tell his son to inquire about this matter. If it is the same in other places, he will immediately pull out the rice and plant sweet potatoes. If it is the same in other places, then the price of grain will be certain It will rise, so it’s better to order a variety of sweet potatoes to fill your stomach. As for other things, the village head said that the batch of taro they dug back before has not been eaten. Even if they don’t replant sweet potatoes, they can still get by .

"Grandma, let's go back first." Seeing Li Liushi's lost look, Li Tianfu clenched his hand under the sleeve, then let go, took his grandma's arm, and walked home from left to right. When they got to the intersection, they found someone waiting for them.

"Brother He, you haven't gone back yet?" Li Tianfu's mood rose when he saw him.

He Anle smiled and said, "I think you won't be delayed for a long time, so I'll just wait for you here for a while."

Li Tianfu looked at him moved.

Li Liushi coughed on the side, Li Tianfu put away his gaze, Li Liushi snorted in his heart, this boy from the He family is really cunning!

But it seems that he treats Fu Geer sincerely.

Fu Geer is indeed a lucky person. Although he can't hold Fu Geer's great-grandson, but because Fu Geer likes him so much, Li Liushi feels that she should treat the He family boy with a better face. Even the bad premonition in my heart has been diluted a lot.

Thinking of this, she eased her complexion and said with a smile, "Boy of the He family, are you free tomorrow?"

"Available!" He Anle quickly replied, even if he wasn't free, he must be free!

Li Liushi was very satisfied with He Anle's positive attitude, and said happily, "I need your help with something, if you are free, help me go to the town to buy a cart of grain and come back tomorrow."

"Do you need to avoid other people?" He Anle asked.

It's just a cart of grain, and it's very easy to buy it back. Let alone one cart, he can handle even ten carts.

If he fulfills the tasks assigned to him by their grandma, will their grandma agree to their request to form a bond?He Anle thought in a whimsical way.

Obviously they are already in love with each other, but when they meet each other every night, it's like being a thief. He Anle almost tears for himself.

But there is no way to do this. Who told him to be the one who abducted the other party's grandson?

He would be very happy as long as he could hug Brother Fu back home as soon as possible.

As for the others, he couldn't force that much.

Mrs. Li Liu patted him on the shoulder, and said in a optimistic tone, "You can come to our house later! I will leave this matter to you. Not only do you not have to avoid other people, but you also need to let everyone When other people see you bring back the grain, if someone asks about it, just say, this is the grain you bought for me.”

He Anle nodded, "Don't worry, grandma, I know how to do it."

There was a smile on Li Liu's face, and Li Tianfu asked unwillingly: "Grandma, why are you buying so much food?"

Li Liushi poked Li Tianfu's forehead in disbelief, "Let you go out to play every day, and learn from your Big Brother He when you have time."

Li Tianfu: "???"

Regardless of the puzzlement on Fu Ge'er's face, Li Liu said to He Anle, "Go back and put the bench away first, and then come home again."

He Anle nodded, Fu Geer wanted to take the bench in his hand, but he refused, "Hurry up and go back, I'll just bring it over later."

Li Tianfu was not annoyed when he failed, and said with a smile: "Okay then, come here quickly."

After seeing He Anle walking towards their home, Li Liushi said, "Get to know how the He family boy behaves in daily life. The most important thing is to find out the connections in his hands and the money in his hands." How many there are, the best thing is to ask, does he have any friends in the town?"

"Although I agree with you to be together, once the contract is formed, you can't regret it. Be clearer in your own mind, or you won't know if you are betrayed by the other party."

"Grandma! Is there anyone like you who buried your good grandson like this?" Li Tianfu said pretending to be unhappy.

Li Liushi doesn't care so much, she is a grandson, she never thought that one day she would get married, at this point, she wants to teach him well, but she doesn't know how?

Is this the same thing for men and women?

Li Liushi fell into deep thought, and she also thought about this matter for a while, the He family boy only has one good-tempered aunt in his family, no one is suppressing her, and it seems that the He family boy is also a doting brother.Fogel will have a good life after forming a bond.

She was just afraid, Fu Geer, a delicate grandson, who usually does nothing at home, can his own home be the same as other people's?The He family boy might be fresh for a while, but if the He family boy gets bored after a long time, wouldn't her good grandson be miserable?

"Okay, okay, I understand. When I go to town tomorrow, I will inquire about it." Li Tianfu said.

Hearing Fu Geer's perfunctory answer, Li Liushi decided to throw Fu Geer to He's house for a period of time, in case the other party can't stand Fu Geer's temper during this period of time, it is best not to like Fu Geer up.

Li Tianfu, who still didn't know that he was about to be sent to the tiger's mouth by his grandma, took his grandma's arm and walked towards the house nagging. His grandma was in a bad mood because the drought had already begun, but except for the two of them Personally, other people don't believe this matter, his tits look fierce and difficult to get along with, he was completely forced out!

Li Tianfu believed in his heart, and he was forced out by his father and a few uncles. They must have been very naughty when they were young, otherwise, his mother wouldn't be so tough.

He must treat his grandma well in the future. When the drought is over, he will earn a lot of money and take over his grandma to enjoy the blessings. Like his parents and uncles, they are all unfilial sons who don’t know how to feel pain. Milk him.

snort!It's him, Brother Fu, who loves people the most!

"Brother Fu, go to the kitchen and have a look. If the mung bean soup is cooked, take it and chill it." Li Liushi sent people away.

Li Tianfu moved slowly towards the door, looking at his milk helplessly, he didn't want to leave, he wanted to stay here and listen to what they were talking about?

Facing his pitiful eyes, Li Liushi was indifferent, and He Anle was about to move, but she didn't dare to do anything under her gaze, she could only use her eyes to signal Fu Geer, and when he went out, tell him what they said.

No matter how much Li Tianfu dawdled, he came to the door very quickly. Neither of them expressed any intention of asking to stay, so he could only close the door angrily and leave.

Li Liushi didn't speak, just walked to the door, and suddenly opened the door, revealing Fu Ge'er's embarrassed face, "Is it really okay for me to stay?"

Li Liu shook her head, "No, I have something very important to discuss with him."

"Grandma! I am your own grandson!" Li Tianfu said accusingly.

Li Liushi: "A grandson who can't lift his hands or shoulders?"

Li Tianfu: "..."

He must have picked it up!

Seeing that he couldn't stay any longer, Li Tianfu was in a bad mood and walked towards the kitchen in frustration.

"Wait." Li Liushi called to stop him.

Li Tianfu turned around in surprise, he knew that grandma still loves him the most!

Li Liushi said lightly, "I haven't added sugar yet, remember to add more sugar."

Li Tianfu was hit hard, his grandma really didn't love him anymore.

Li Liu looked at the back of Fu Geer leaving, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she finally knew that the little guys in the family always liked to watch Fu Geer change his face, watching the expression on that face change back and forth , It is indeed very interesting!

"Grandma, why did you come to me?" He Anle's voice drew her attention back.

Li Liushi coughed twice, suppressing the thoughts in her heart, how could she bully Brother Fu?It is simply too inappropriate.

"Since you have passed such a long time, you are not willing to give up on each other, and I am not willing to be that villain, so I agree with you to be together..."

He Anle asked overjoyedly: "Grandma, if you agree, can we form a contract?"

Although the two of them have done what they should do, but the last step, before they form a bond, he will never take a step beyond the threshold!

Obviously, helping each other with Fu Geer every night is not enough, he can't wait to form a bond tomorrow, he has been looking forward to the wedding ceremony for a long time!At that time, Fu Ge'er will belong to him completely!

Just thinking about it made him feel excited.

Li Liushi glanced at him in surprise, "It's a good idea, Brother Fu is still young, so I won't agree to forming a contract so quickly."

He Anle calmed down immediately after being splashed with cold water. He is not married yet, so he can't be careless, he has to make persistent efforts!Let grandma recognize him as soon as possible, and he will be able to embrace Brother Fu as soon as possible! !

That's right, he just felt that Grandma felt that his sincerity or lack of hard work was why he didn't want to hand over Fu Geer to him so quickly. For such a good person as Fu Geer, the person he made a bond with really needed Take a good look!

Li Liushi didn't know what he was thinking, she was simply unwilling to give Fu Geer to others.

"It's okay, I can wait. I believe grandma will agree sooner or later!" He Anle said with determination.

Seeing him like this, Li Liushi felt 1 unhappy, and beat him and said, "Now you haven't formed a bond, if you dare to do something out of order, you will never even think about forming a bond in your life. "

Li Liu put down her cruel words. Originally, she wanted to warn Fu Geer, but thinking of Fu Geer's whole body falling on him, she probably said it for nothing, and it might backfire. .

He Anle couldn't help but blushed a little and said, "Don't worry, we know the severity."

Li Liushi nodded, seeing that they sneaked around for so long at night without doing anything in-depth, she was very satisfied.

Being obsessed with beauty at a young age is not a good thing.

Li Liushi glanced outside the door and found no one, so she continued to lower her voice, and quietly handed He Anle a note, "When you go to town, remember to go to this place, go alone, and bring your money. "

He Anle opened it right away, and there was an address written on it, and he asked a little puzzled, "What is this?"

Mrs. Li Liu said vaguely: "I pulled off my old face, so I asked for you. When the time comes, you can bring some money over there, and you can go alone. As for what it is, you can go." We'll know when we arrive."

He is too embarrassed to explain this kind of thing too clearly, because the two of them are young and have no experience at all, and there are no male elders in both families, otherwise she would not need to appear in person.

As for her stupid sons, the daughter-in-laws in the family have noticed it, and they still look like they don't know what to do. Mrs. Li and Liu have already beaten the daughter-in-law in the family. In a short time, they will not tell own man.

He Anle still doesn't quite understand, where did the inconspicuous little courtyard written on the address come from?He believed what Li Liushi said, carefully put the note away, and seeing Li Liushi's satisfied face, he knew that he had done the right thing.

He felt in his heart that when he went to town tomorrow, he must bring a little more money. Since his grandmother reminded him twice, it was very important.

He still wanted to bring Fu Geer home as soon as possible.

After talking about this, Li Liushi cleared his throat and said, "In the next time, you can take Fu Geer back to sleep, or you can stay and sneak around all day, in case they are caught When I found it, I thought it was a thief."

He Anle looked at her in shock, "How do you know?"

Li Liushi rolled her eyes in her heart, she already knew about this, okay?

"I've known it for a long time, we can sleep together openly, things we shouldn't do..."

He Anle, who was hit by this big cake, quickly assured: "I know the priorities!"
