    "Hey, the wells in our village have been around for more than a hundred years. They have never been dry. If the drought really gets to that level, we probably won't be able to survive."

    "Then we really have no way out?"

    "The country will not ignore it. Don't worry." In fact, the old lady is the most worried person. This life is almost over, so why should I catch up with natural disasters?  Longevity!

    Zhang Hongmei lazily filled up the water tank, picked up two more buckets of water, and watered the melon seedlings again.

    Liu Erya was also exhausted yesterday, but seeing that Hongmei was so tired that she didn't want to move, she had to hold on, or the two of them would not be able to come back.  In the morning, he came to Zhang Hongmei's house listlessly with his schoolbag on his back, which shocked Zhang Hongmei.

    "Sister Erya, what's the matter with you?"

    Liu Erya glanced at Zhang Hongmei sadly, "Yesterday you were so desperate to move, why are you so active today? I haven't rested yet."

    "Hey, I'm young!"

    "Damn girl, I'm only two years older than you, how old can I be?" Liu Erya chased and beat Zhang Hongmei, and the two were playing happily.

    Wait until you have had enough fun before starting to read.  "Hongmei's father told me to go to school tomorrow, and there's not much work in the field at home. Are you going to school?"

    "No, I have to tidy up the vegetable garden? The sheep also have to be fed. Don't tell me about my situation?"

    "I have nothing to say, what are you doing? Your centimeters will be more than mine this year."

    "I'll invite you when the money is divided." Zhang Hongmei thought that she could just go up the mountain again, saving Liu Erya to follow her.  At that time, it would be really dangerous, and it would be difficult to take out the electric baton.

    "By the way, sister Erya, come to my house to drink a bowl of goat milk every morning when you go to school. I guess you will be weaned after drinking it for a month."

    "That's a good relationship. I just come every day? Don't think I'm annoying."

    "Okay, I'll cook for you every day. I'll go back with you to find my third uncle in a while, when will you build me a sheepfold? If it's hot, it will be delicious."

    "Will you come to my house for lunch?"

    "I don't want to go. I have pancakes for lunch today. Can you eat them at my house?" Zhang Hongmei's tone was like that of a witch who bewitched Snow White.

    "Of course I won't go back if there's something delicious, I'll eat at your house."

    Lunch is pancakes, bacon stewed with sauerkraut, and this is the only thing outside.  It was about to disappear, and suddenly it occurred to me that there were still a lot of wild vegetables in the ring, but I couldn't get them out now.  Just this brain, worse than a pig.

    After eating, Liu Erya felt full of blood and revived, full of energy.  The efficiency of reading has also improved.

    Zhang Hongmei went home with Erya, the Liu family was cooking, and Liu Maocai was sitting in the yard repairing a hoe.

    "Third Master, help me find someone to cover the sheepfold these few days. It's still hot, and I want to fix it while the farming is slack."

    "Middle, I'll go the day after tomorrow."

    "Is there anything I need to prepare?"

    "Tomorrow, I will find someone to cut down a few trees on the mountain. I have boards at home, and I just need to build a shed."

    "Can the third master make it like building a house, so that he doesn't have to put it in the woodshed in winter?"

    "That would be troublesome, Yezhong, so you have to take care of the food, and you need four or five people."

    "Okay, I'll prepare meals, and I'll pay some wages? I remember that some people in our village pay wages when they build houses."

    "That's fifty cents a day, and I'll take care of the lunch at noon."

    The two discussed that Zhang Hongmei went back without staying for a meal. The food from other people's houses was really hard to swallow, so it's better not to embarrass your own stomach.

    The next day, Zhang Hongmei waited for Liu Maocai to deliver the wood at home, so she didn't go up the mountain.  The dough was made with goat's milk and bean paste, so I had to let people eat at noon.  I also made sauerkraut broth and mixed with wild vegetables.

    There are five people who followed Liu Maocai to cut trees on the mountain, that is, they will build a sheep shed for themselves tomorrow.  The meal at noon conquered the stomachs of several people. They all exaggerated Hongmei's handiness, and she was even more docile in her heart. This girl was willing to take out white noodles for everyone to eat, so magnificent!

    Liu Maocai was eating wild vegetables, "Hongmei, what did you mix with wild vegetables, it's so delicious."

    "It's just soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic. Is it really delicious?"

    "It's really delicious!"

    Of course it's delicious, but the soy sauce I made myself is not easy to buy here.

    "Wild vegetables are also available. Tomorrow, go home and get some sour sauce to eat."

    "Is the miso sour? I forgot to make the miso this year."

    "Your third mother cooks a lot, let's keep you eating."

    ?After eating, a few people went to the team to plant grass, and then went to bulldoze, and then finished the mud mixed with grass, and put it away?? Works great.

    Liu Maocai didn't come the next day and went to the village for a meeting.  The five people built it in one day, and erected a few stakes thoughtfully, telling Zhang Hongmei that they could be used to tie sheep.  Zhang Hongmei cooked the same lunch as yesterday, and everyone didn't pick anything, knowing that there was nothing to eat at this time of year.  When I went back at night, I gave each person 50 cents.  Everyone did not refuse, after all, this is the usual practice.

    The melon seedlings in the space have already climbed (wan), and it is time to plant them. I must go up the mountain tomorrow.  When Liu Erya came over in the evening, she told her that she would not be at home tomorrow morning and was going to plant melons in the mountains, but she didn't dare to say that there were seedlings.

    "Why don't you go with me when I'm on vacation?"

    "No, I can't grow much, I can do it by myself, don't worry."

    Zhang Hongmei went up the mountain at five o'clock the next day, this time also with a pickaxe.

    There were too few wild vegetables along the way, probably picked by the people in the village.  All the wild vegetables I know have been picked, and it hasn't rained yet, so the wild vegetables are a bit old.

    It feels better when you walk into the pine forest, at least it is more green.  The pine forest is obviously much better on the shaded side of the mountain than on the sunny side.

    My eyes were astringent and I didn't find ginseng, so I should just plant melon seedlings honestly.

    There are about 200 melon seedlings planted in one day, but I don¡¯t know how many can grow?  I really worked hard and did my best.  It is not up to me to control where I can go.

    When I got home, it was still dark, and I saw that the lambs in the sheepfold were almost growing into big ones, so I asked Li Cuihua when she would be able to breed?  But think about it, if there is no water for people to drink during the severe drought this year, it will be even more impossible for livestock. If it doesn¡¯t work, just sell it?  But who are you going to sell it to now?

    Let's keep it, let's talk about it later, maybe it won't be dry?

    The next day I went up the mountain again, and I still dug wild vegetables, and I had to dig as much as I could.

    In the afternoon, I went back and sent it to the old lady.

    "Hongmei, go with your aunts tomorrow, alone."

    "It's too milky to use. I'm afraid of delaying my aunts, so I just pick it while playing."

    The old lady knew in her heart that the wild vegetables she sent were from the deep mountains, and the child had gone into the mountains again.

    "Yezhong, if you go to the mountains every day in the future, then bring the wild vegetables to me, and I'll pick them up for you, scald them in hot water and dry them in the sun."

    "I hit it myself, don't make you old, I have plenty of energy." (Remember the website URL: www.hlnovel.com
