Hard times have room

Chapter 601 Running out of water?
When Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang first started, they were able to put a wooden bucket down and fill half of the bucket with water, and use a gourd scoop to scoop two scoops of water to fill the rest. The scoop can only scoop up a small half scoop, which is extremely inefficient, and the speed of the couple's scooping together can't be faster.

When Paulin went down to the Daqing River, she saw her parents scooping up water. It was obvious that after the river was loaded by the people upstream, there was only a small trickle flowing down the river. to their rearmost position.

"Paulin, here." Su Hongying also saw Baolin, waved to her, and said with a smile.

This place is not only the couple scooping water, but also Wang Cheng and his family, but these people are squatting in front of Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang. Obviously, they occupy a better position between the two sides.

That is to say, Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang didn't want to quarrel because of this, otherwise, there would be a dispute over who comes first.

In places where there are many upstream fields, the order of who comes first can cause a lot of debate every day. It has to be based on first-come-last-arrival, and there is no conclusion. If there is a disagreement, it will start. At this time, it depends on who has the most powerful force.

Because of the issue of who comes first, fights are also frequent in the village, and things that were not cared about in the past are really important now.

The weird weather was like a taut violin string that could break at any time.

At this time, a small thing may ignite the long-suffering anger in their chests, and fighting is the only way to vent.

Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang are not fighting for their positions because they are soft-hearted, nor because they like to stay behind. To be precise, it is because they have only three members of their own family and face Wang. The six or seven people who got married really didn't have much chance of winning, so they chose to take a step back.

Since you know that your family can't compete, then don't fight, lest the two families tear their faces and get along well. At this time, the relationship between neighbors is still very important.

Therefore, Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang chose to live in harmony with the Wang Cheng family.

Besides, even in the position of Wang Cheng's family, it's just standing in front of their family of three. There are dozens or hundreds of people in front of them. No matter who's family is in front of them, the flow of water naturally can't be said much. You can only use a gourd scoop to scoop water like them.

"Mom." Bao Lin walked to Su Hongying's side and called out, and then squatted next to Su Hongying, holding a gourd and scooping up water.

"The water is getting less and less today, and the water in the Daqing River can't be poured several times." Wang Jiandang squatted at the front of the family of three and sighed as he scooped up the water.

Although the weather this year is very bad, it is not particularly bad. At least in his opinion, it is much better than last year.

The sweet potatoes planted in the vegetable field behind the house have been planted for more than three months, and the sweet potatoes at the bottom should be at least the size of a finger. Although there is no rain this year, it is a drought year, but it is easier than last year. Because this year there will be a very impressive harvest.

Except for the vegetable field at the back of the house, the five-point field outside looks good. The peanuts are ten centimeters high, and they are already blooming. There should be tender peanuts underneath, but there are no peanuts. Seeds, it should take more than a month or two months to really mature. I don't know if the dry peanut seedlings can withstand it.

If this can be endured, the harvest will be much higher in the future. Of course, the most basic seeds can definitely be saved and recovered. In this regard, depending on the height of the peanut seedlings, there is no need to worry.

"Yeah, you see now, a scoop of water is only half a gourd scoop, and there is still some mud in it. It's really time-consuming."

"While there is still some water in this river, water the land as many times as you can!" Su Hongying sighed following Wang Jiandang.

Now the world is getting more and more difficult. Last month, two old people fell in the village. They said that they were too old.

The old people of the two families were reluctant to eat the few bites of food in the bowl, so they gave them to their children and grandchildren, so that they could have more bites in their stomachs and pass the family down smoothly. .
The funeral was very simple, and it was not easy. A roll of straw was wrapped and sent to the mountain, where a pit was dug and buried.

If this man is gone, there really is nothing left.

"Then if we don't go to work tomorrow, we can just use the current size and speed of the current, and in the next time, before it gets completely dark, it would be good for us to wet the field in the back room. Five points is impossible."

"If we take a day off tomorrow, we will be able to thoroughly water the five-point outside."

Wang Jiandang moved his own thoughts. The Daqing River was about to dry up. At this time, he planned to stop going to work until the river completely dried up, and just serve the two fields at home.

After all, there is no telling when the river will dry up, so it is still necessary to thoroughly water the ground, water it thoroughly, and pour a lot of water. There will be no such opportunity in the future.

Right now, what is lacking most in this land is water. As long as the water is in place, what will be the harvest, so to speak, but if the water is not in place, or even lacking, then the seeds that were planted at the beginning of the year may not be recovered.

"I listen to you, anyway, there are no work points in the village, and the difference is not very big. Those with more work points can indeed share some food, but it is limited. A kilogram of grain is fine!" Su Hongying still agrees with Wang Jiandang's suggestion at this time, and it's time to take care of herself first.

Besides, she has seen that many people in the village are now only half of the labor force of the family going to work, and the rest are working hard to take care of their own land.

Everyone else has done that, so what are they still doing in the fields!
Although I usually don't put much effort into my work, I still have to fiddle with it in the end. If I do it slowly, I have to do it. It's a waste of time and energy. It's very tiring.

"Okay, then it's settled. I'll go to the captain later and ask for leave."

As he was talking, Wang Jiandang suddenly found that the gourd in his hand was scooped down, and it was filled with mud. water.
