Chapter 36 Autumn Harvest Season
When Su Chunlin and his daughter arrived at Shenjiazhuang, they were spotted by the sharp-eyed Xu Shi, who rushed over immediately, "Xiaotai's father, what brings you here?"

"I heard that your village's water supply has dried up, so I came to see if I could help," Su Chunlin said anxiously.

Madam Xu immediately smiled with satisfaction, "I was so glad I arranged this marriage with Ayi! I really didn't make a mistake! The Daxun River dried up five days ago. Luckily, our village has dug wells, and we've been relying on these wells for irrigation these past few days, but they're not enough. Ayi is discussing matters with the village chief and the clan elders right now. Come on! I'll take you home!"

On the way, Xu pointed out the direction of the well to them. Su Tai nodded silently for a few moments. When they arrived at Shen Yi's house, Su Chunlin, who was always restless, immediately said that he wanted to go out for a walk.

While Xu was busy in the kitchen, Su Tai had the opportunity to sneak out. She walked a short distance in the direction Xu pointed out and saw villagers lining up to fetch water in the distance.

Because of the large number of people, she, being from another village, was likely to attract the attention of the villagers. Helpless, she could only choose a place that was neither too far nor too close to Shen Yi's land to release the underground stream.

After she finished, she went back as if nothing had happened. When she saw that Shen Yi had returned, she immediately asked, "Brother Shen, what did your village chief say?"

Shen Yi's expression became more serious, but he still smiled reassuringly at Su Tai, "It's alright, at most we'll just try digging another well."

Su Tai's eyes lit up, and she immediately grabbed Shen Yi's clothes and walked outside. They stopped when they reached the spot where she had thrown the underground stream. "Brother Shen, dig around here and see if there's water."

Shen Yi recalled the events in Ximen Village. Back then, the well had been dug so deep that it seemed impossible to find water, yet Su Tai confidently urged him to continue digging, insisting there would definitely be water. He chose to believe her without reservation, and unexpectedly, water did indeed come to the surface. This time...
Thinking of this, Shen Yi's eyes widened suddenly, suppressing his excitement, "Okay! I'll find someone to come and dig right away."

After saying that, he turned to leave, but then stopped and looked at Su Tai for a long time. "Little Tai, thank you!"

Su Tai raised an eyebrow, guiltily looking away, "Why are you thanking me! I didn't do anything!"

Shen Yi suddenly smiled, "I know! You go home and rest first, leave things here to me."

Su Tai watched his departing figure, a slight smile playing on her lips, and leisurely returned home. She didn't concern herself with what happened afterward, only knowing that Su Chunlin had also gone to help with the work.

Because they hadn't dug deep enough on the first day and hadn't found any water, Su Chunlin was worried, so the father and daughter stayed overnight at Shen Yi's house.

The next morning, when Shen Yi and Su Chunlin went to work, they found the soil was a bit damp. Encouraged, they started working without waiting for the villagers to arrive.

The well was already filled with water as soon as the sun rose.

At this time, more people came to work, and everyone was overjoyed. The whole village was as lively as during the Spring Festival.

Around noon, Xu came over happily with wild vegetables and two eggs to cook, saying she wanted to thank Su Chunlin for his help.

The father and daughter had a meal before leaving.

Before they knew it, it was early August. The weather was getting hotter and hotter. Perhaps it was because Su Tai had poured more groundwater into their area, which changed the air humidity. The originally clear sky was now cloudier. Although it hadn't rained yet, it at least gave the villagers hope.

At this time, the four acres of cabbage and two acres of paddy fields in Tu Shikong can also be harvested.

She left all the paddy fields to the groundhog to manage, and only helped with the cabbage harvest. She received 20,000 jin of cabbage from the four mu of land, and the rice harvested was 1,200 jin. In total, she sold the harvested cabbage for 9600 coins.

Her cryptocurrency balance broke the five-figure mark for the first time.

This time, she didn't hesitate to spend 5,000 virtual coins to upgrade the Water Space. The Level 4 Water Space has an additional lake of 1,000 acres, and it costs 2,000 virtual coins to deploy it once.

After thinking about it, she decided to release the lake into the mountains of Dongmen Village.

Firstly, it can provide water for the animals in the mountains; secondly, it can improve the climate of the forest and change the local weather; and lastly, and most importantly, people will only be surprised and curious when a lake suddenly appears in the mountains, but they will not investigate it further. However, if a lake appears in a village, it will probably alarm the local officials.

Just do it.

Su Tai left the portal and found an excuse to go into the mountains. Because Su Yan had been bitten by a snake in the mountains, the number of people going into the mountains had decreased sharply recently, and even those who did go only stayed at the foot of the mountain, which made it convenient for her to do her thing. After she released the object into the lake, she immediately fled the scene.

Now it's up to the lucky one to discover the existence of this lake first.

She thought such a large lake would be easy to spot, but it took three days for villagers to discover it. They found it by chasing after a pheasant they encountered while chopping firewood in the mountains.

For a time, villagers went into the mountains in groups of three or five to see what was going on, and found that a lake had indeed appeared in the mountains.

Some people started speculating, "I get it! It must be because there's too much groundwater in the mountains that's overflowing, which is why our village has so much water!"

Su Chunlin and the others all nodded in agreement.

Su Tai watched the commotion for a while, then stopped caring.

After all the cabbages and rice in the Earth Time and Space were planted, she found another excuse to have Su Chunlin take her to Shenjiazhuang.

This time, she directly dumped an underground lake into the silt of the Daxun River.

When the village children have nothing to do, they dig things in the dry riverbed. After they dig out the water, the water will slowly rise, and no one will suspect her.

After doing all that, her cryptocurrency balance instantly became four thousand again, and she couldn't spend it all.

As Su Tai sighed, time flew by, and before she knew it, it was September, the harvest season.

Although this year was just as dry, almost every village dug a well, so they could farm to some extent. The county magistrate was quite optimistic and proactive, and he sent out notices early on, with town and township officials organizing the autumn harvest.

Liu Tiechui's first stop in the countryside was Dongmen Village, since Dongmen Village was famous for its abundant water resources. He would collect grain from Dongmen Village first to bring good luck.

The heads of other townships also came to watch the spectacle.

Su Changxi, along with several respected elders from the village, greeted them at the village entrance.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group got down to business and headed towards the field.

The group stopped when they passed Su Chunlin's land.

Looking at the sparse fields of other people's land, and then at the golden wheat field in front of him, Liu Tiechui asked in astonishment, "Whose land is this?"

Su Changxi quickly replied, "Su Chunlin's family."

"Where is he?" Liu Tiechui asked anxiously.

The villagers immediately brought Su Chunlin over.

Liu Tiechui stared at him blankly, then asked excitedly, "Su Chunlin, how do you cultivate this land? It's different from everyone else's!"

Everyone eagerly awaited his answer.

Su Chunlin was a little confused, and scratched his head with a sheepish smile. "The town magistrate has really stumped me! I didn't do anything, I just went to the county town to ask my older brother to help me get some grain seeds. Oh, right! I soaked the seeds in water before sowing, and only planted the ones that could germinate. I don't know if that's the reason?"
