    ?

    It was finally dark, and today the whole village mowed a hundred acres of wheat. Liu Maocai personally led a person to take charge of the night watch, either because he was afraid of losing it, or because of the dry weather, he was afraid of fire.

    Zhang Hongmei gave Liu Maocai the flashlight. Being a village head is really not easy. He works in the fields during the day and has to keep vigil at night, which is fatal.

    After soaking in the spiritual spring water in the space, I feel that I am resurrected with blood, reward myself, and make a table with delicious food.  Braised prawns, steamed sea bass, braised beef, and a boiled meatball.  It's all meat.

    After eating vigorously, Qiang fell asleep on the bed.  Too tired, Zhang Hongmei snored a little.

    The kitchen is cleaned up after waking up, and the leftover dishes are put into the food storage compartment in the warehouse. Good things should not be wasted.

    The peanuts in the field should also be removed, take your time, there is no rush anyway.

    I quit after only pulling out a third of it, and then took a nap to recharge my batteries for tomorrow.

    Woke up again and decided to steam the buns.  It will be lunch tomorrow, it is convenient and delicious.

    After five days in a row, the wheat was finally harvested.  A total of nearly 20,000 jin of wheat was harvested a few days ago, and the wheat on the last day was a little more than before. It is estimated that it would be pretty good to be able to hit 25,000 jin in the end.

    It costs 20,000 catties to hand over the public grain, and the remaining 5,000 catties will be 600 catties for seeds, and the team must also keep mobile food. It is not bad that one person can divide up to 20 catties.  This is a year's ration.

    The whole village was downcast and unable to cheer up.  Wang Hongxi held a meeting to mobilize the work, but it didn't work.  Most people have started to enter the mountain.

    This won't work, the stubble fields haven't been planted yet?  Hurry up and hold a meeting again, and all those who have not dried their wheat will go to the field to make sweet potato ridges.

    "Captain, there is not a drop of rain here, and there is no harvest for farming, so why not go to the mountains to prepare food."

    Liu Maocai was full of anger, but now the villagers' hearts are loose, even if they barely go to work, they are lazy and passive.

    The water level in the river has dropped by one and a half meters, but the old well in the village can draw water. The village held a meeting to warn everyone to save water, and the whole village lived in panic.

    Until the last meeting, which was the third day after the wheat harvest, the old lady personally presided over the meeting. It was very simple: it is good to go to the mountains, but the previous generations were injured and disabled, and many died. Now it is drought, and the mountains are not much better.  Animals are also alive, then they are likely to go down the mountain.  Besides, despite the drought, the sweet potatoes in the field are still harvested.  There is no need to take risks.

    After listening to it, everyone was scared for a while, yes, every year, people are injured, some people die, and they are impulsive.

    After that, Wang Hongxi's work went smoothly, and the organization assigned work.  The women went to the sweet potato fields to pick seedlings, the men still dug ridges to carry water, and the children watered them.

    However, due to the drought, the sweet potato seedlings are not flourishing, and not many can be pinched down.

    Zhang Hongmei found Liu Maocai, "Third Lord, I don't intend to own the sweet potato fields in the mountains. You can talk to the villagers in a meeting. We can go there to pick seedlings, but they are much more lush than our fields."

    Liu Maocai looked at Zhang Hongmei with complicated eyes, "Okay, then everyone should know about your feelings, don't worry. Then Erya, you two go there to pinch, and I will let the foolish back."

    Zhang Hongmei didn't know how Liu Maocai told everyone in the meeting, but he obviously felt that the people in the village showed kindness to him.

    The three of them came to the sweet potato field, but it was amazing. There was a big wild boar in the trap. Actually, why is there a wild boar?  Because sweet potatoes are very attractive to wild boars.

    The second fool ran over, "This wild boar hasn't been dead for a long time, and it hasn't broken down yet. I'll go back and call for Hongmei. We have meat to eat tonight."

    After Er Lengzi left, Zhang Hongmei and the others were not idle, and hurriedly lowered their waists to pinch sweet potato seedlings.

    Being able to eat wild boar is an exciting news, and everyone is also rejoicing in their hearts. Fortunately, they did not go up the mountain. If they really meet this big guy, they may die or not.

    This wild boar also weighs more than 500 catties, which is enough for the whole village to eat. With motivation, it is obvious that the work will be much easier.

    Liu Maocai still held a meeting. When the sweet potatoes were planted and the public grain was paid, he would lead everyone into the mountain. We have been guarding the mountain for generations so we can¡¯t starve to death.

    It took ten days to plant the sweet potatoes on the 700-acre field. The land was so dry that it was difficult to dig it even for strong laborers.  There is hope, and there are not many complaints.

    Afterwards, they went to call for public grain non-stop. This time, all the strong laborers in the village sent out their own carts.

    Zhang Hongmei did not go, now the familyThere is also a lot of work, all kinds of melon seedlings are climbing, and cucumbers are blooming, but I dare not pick up water as before, because the water level drops too fast.

    In the end, I thought of a solution that was not a solution. I put the four wild boars in the ring into the warehouse of the space, and put all the large water tanks at home, whether they were food or water, into the space, and went into the mountain by myself.

    When I came to the pool last time, I found that the water level had also dropped, and the mark I made was still there, but the drop was not much, only about half a meter.

    This is all right, if we really come to the worst step, then the water source here will be life-saving water for everyone.

    Put out the water jars, pour them in one by one, until the five large water jars are full, put the rings in, and go back.

    Liu Maocai must tell him when he comes back, but he will not come here unless it is absolutely necessary. The water source of the animals must be more dangerous than other places.

    ? When I got home, I watered all the vegetable plots, looking at the unfurled vegetable leaves, Zhang Hongmei was worried.

    But at this time, the noisy bell in the village was also rang. Zhang Hongmei saw that all the wheat that had been pushed to pay the public grain was pushed back. What does this mean?

    Liu Erya leaned over, "The grain station in the village thought our wheat was unrealistic, so it returned it."

    "That's a good thing, we have to thank him for going in the future."

    Liu Maocai and Wang Hongxi discussed with the old lady that since this is the case, everyone will be divided, so as to save future problems.

    The accountant held the account book and called people to make a deal and distribute the food.

    Zhang Hongmei knew that Liu Maocai had to take a lot of risks to distribute the food, just so that everyone could have something to eat.  When it got dark, I was stunned to finish the food distribution.

    Now everyone has the bottom line in their hearts, and they don't panic when they have food in their hands.

    Zhang Hongmei hadn't finished her dinner when she heard a loud knock on the door, "Hongmei opens the door, someone from the village is here and wants to take my dad away."

    "Understood, go right away, you hurry to inform others."

    Zhang Hongmei put down the bowl and ran to the brigade after listening. This may be a serious crime.

    The whole village surrounded the brigade headquarters, and the people from the village surrounded it with their backs.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
