Hard times have room

Chapter 185
After her parents left, Paulin slowly carried a small grass basket in her hand and a small backpack on her back, which contained her small shovel. After confirming that she was fully equipped, she could set off.

After locking the door, Paulin walked directly down the path down the river in front of the house to the Daqing River.

She went down the Daqing River directly wearing straw sandals, and walked slowly and leisurely by the Daqing River with a bamboo pole. When you see good-looking wild vegetables, use a small shovel to shovel them out and put them in a back basket.

Wait until you reach the stone bridge and then switch sides, or go directly ashore to see places like Tiangengxiaogou.

However, Paulin's expectations for that place are not high. You must know that the fields are now dozens of acres, and the small ditch will be a ghost if you don't do it.

Her dad must have said that to comfort her.

After Pauline had walked around on both sides, the straw basket was finally settled. During this time, she also saw a yellow water snake, which was very small and had thick fingers. Pauline didn't like it and let it go. Now, this water snake is not poisonous and is very common in this world.

It took four to five 10 minutes to order snails. If it wasn't for the fact that there were a lot of edible wild vegetables in the back basket, she would have been unable to bear to go home. Is it easy for her to be so dry here?

After thinking about it, she had almost turned around in the places along the Daqing River, so she still went to Tiangengxiaogou to see and try her luck.

After Baolin, who really had nothing to gain in Daqinghe, told her mother, she went ashore and went to the Tiangeng for a turn.

As a result, as soon as she saw the "water" field, Paulin realized that the situation in the field seemed to be more serious than what her father had told her.

The leaves of the rice have been shriveled by the sun, and the leaves near the roots have turned yellow, some serious, and even withered.

The ears of rice that were pulled out earlier are now being filled with grain. When you touch them, they are not very full and a little shriveled, but at least there is grain in them, and they will be harvested at the end.

But the ones that were heading for the ears were miserable. The rice on the ears of the rice was sparse, and it looked very thin. When I touched it, it was still an empty shell. There is not much hope for this.

But what's worse is not that there is no long, thin rice. It has not yet headed. This kind of rice is even more finished. It may not even have an empty husk at the end, just a handful of dry straw.

Paddy field, paddy field, but now there is no water in the paddy field near the place where she landed. She walked forward, and there was a high point where there was not only no water, but also mud. The field was dry and hard. It is slightly cracked, which means it is self-evident for the rice that has not been filled and grown.

On this day, people can't stand the sun, let alone crops, that person can hide in the house to cool off in the hottest time of noon, and if there are those who can sleep, they also take a nap to recover. Recovery, can the crops be able to?There is no place to hide, there is no water, plus the sun is shining, don't you have to suffer!

This summer harvest, according to Baolin, is hanging. Half of the harvest in previous years was due to the hard work of the villagers.

It's impossible to go on like this. It seems that in a few days, the whole village should be mobilized. This is a major event that concerns the whole village.

It's like harvesting in summer and harvesting in autumn. Use everything that can be used, move everything that can move, carry water, water, weed, etc. It's time to get it up. Now is the time for crops to grow, and the harvested fruits are not big. Just look at this time.

Obviously there are not enough manpower now, otherwise the paddy field so close to the Daqing River, if there are enough manpower, how can it be said that it is cracked!

Thinking of this, Paulin directly put the guy on her body where her mother could see it when she raised her head, and left with just a bamboo pole. She planned to go around the paddy fields in the village, and it was inconvenient for her to carry things.

Well, she was lazy.

When she thought of it, she did it. Paulin first supported the bamboo pole and slowly returned to her previous paddy field.

For the next hour or so, Paulin had been circling the paddy fields near the Daqing River.

Shanghe Village has always had abundant rainfall, and there is a Daqing River, so nearly 2/3 of the fields are paddy fields and 1/3 are dry fields.

The paddy fields are all rice, about 200 mu. The dry fields are mostly sweet potatoes, about [-] to [-] mu, a small part is corn, and the least is peanuts and soybeans, ten to twenty mu.

She just walked around the Daqing River and found that the problem was a bit serious. There were more than ten acres of land cracked in such a well-irrigated area by the Daqing River, let alone other places.

It may be farther away, such as the more than 20 mu of paddy fields in Zhushan, which may be abandoned directly. After all, the land is too far away, nearly two miles away from the Daqing River, and it will definitely not be able to take care of it.

Pauline remembered that when there was less rain in previous years, the paddy fields by the Daqing River could be diverted through canals, and basically there was no need to spend artificially carrying water for irrigation. The twenty-odd acres of paddy fields at the foot of Zhushan Mountain were the places where the strong laborers of the village had to do their best to rescue them. , Generally, there are three or 40 people.

Wang Jiandang has also signed up to go there several times. He is tired, but his work points are really high, which is not like this year.
After this turn, when she returned to the boundary where her mother was, the sun had gone down, and the sky was a little dark.

But they still couldn't leave, and they had to work until it was almost completely dark.

Paulin was standing on the ridge, she originally wanted to go straight down, but when she heard something like "Xu Zhaodi", "I don't know" being said below, she didn't want to go down, she wanted to hear where they were from above. say what.

She is also a kind of alternative listening to the wall!

But the difference is that she wants to listen to the person she wants to listen to. She has no intention of hiding it from others. The voice is loud, as if she is afraid that people passing by won't hear what she said.

"If you want me to tell you, they might have hooked up with each other long ago, and even sneaked in the Leigongjing to steal people. I bah, a pair of dogs and men, don't dirty the water we drink."

Hearing this, Paulin felt a little familiar. She secretly took the lead and looked down. It was Xu Xiuxiu. The one standing next to her was also an acquaintance. Xu Xiuying, why are these two here?

Obviously when she left, her mother and Aunt Shufen were here!By the way, what about her mother?
Pauline looked around carefully, only to find that her mother was fetching water more than 100 meters away from the two people below.

Their fetchers use basins or buckets to lift and slip the water to the bank of the Daqing River, but it's not just about waiting for the fetchers to come and fetching the water for them.

It seems that it should be to hide Xu Xiuxiu and Xu Xiuying, who have nothing to do with her mother.
