    Attention comrades, two updates a day will resume!  But I still have the cheek to ask for votes, rewards, and collections!

    Zhang Hongmei volunteered to follow her up the mountain to plant sweet potatoes.  Hurry up and finish planting in the field on the mountain, even if it is just carrying a load of water down.

    Even planting sweet potatoes on the mountain is not easy.  It's a long way to go, too.  Last year, Zhang Hongmei just dug holes, but this year she is digging ridges, so she should grow better than last year.  Last year, more than 40 mu of land could be planted in one day, but this year, only more than 10 mu can be planted on the mountain.

    Everyone is anxious, but there is no way, mainly because of water.

    What's more, the collection of summer grain is about to start. I don't know what to pay for it?

    In fact, there are only more than 40 mu of land on the mountain, and it was done in four days.  But traps still have to be dug, and if you don¡¯t dig them, it¡¯s useless now that they are destroyed by livestock.  Another day was spent digging traps, but the rest of the people were digging sweet potato ridges in the village.  If you plant a ridge and plant a ridge, you are afraid that the land that has no moisture in the first place will become more dry.

    Planting sweet potatoes in the field was even slower. On the first day, only one acre of land was planted because of the lack of manpower.  Everyone couldn't lift their spirits for dinner at night, it was too shocking.

    In the end, it was decided that the men would go up the mountain to carry water, and the buckets would all be covered.  Women dig ridges and water to plant sweet potatoes, and children bury the soil.  Even lunch is eaten in different shifts, so there is less than three acres of land.

    Wang Hongxi was so anxious that his mouth was full of blisters, and Liu Maocai's mouth was full of blisters and toothache.

    Everyone is also in a hurry, if it is too late, the production of sweet potatoes will be reduced.

    Zhang Hongmei went to the old lady's house, "I'm too grandma, I don't know if I can get chemical fertilizers? Can sweet potatoes be fertilized?"

    "Even if it can be obtained, even if it can be fertilized, it must rain or have water."

    This doesn't work, and that doesn't work, the key is that there is no water.

    Although everyone was hit, they were not discouraged and persisted, even though they only planted three acres of land a day.

    At the end of the month, Zhang Hongmei also went for the exam in the morning. Everyone saw that the girl who was originally delicate and tender now has only white teeth left in the sun.  I came back after the exam, because it is a holiday, the school does not have winter and summer vacations, but there are spring planting and autumn harvest vacations.

    The three of them hurried home on bicycles, not even caring about their meals.

    Erya felt very uncomfortable. She couldn¡¯t help her family even when she went to school. Instead, she had to get food from home every month. Now it was so difficult that half of the students in the class dropped out because they couldn¡¯t afford the food.  And the food was getting worse and worse, and I felt it was hard to swallow.

    Looking at Hongmei's appearance, one can tell how tiring and bitter the life in the village is.  Last year Hongmei didn't get tanned at all, but this year she saw a mouthful of big white teeth when she spoke.

    The pillars are pedaling quickly, and I have only realized how comfortable and happy life in the village has been since I went out.  Now the first grade of junior high school has been merged into one class, and I am a big man but asked to be raised by the family.

    Last month, I went back to discuss with my family that I wanted to drop out of school, but was scolded by everyone in the family and almost beat me up.  But I really feel that I am incompetent, but fortunately there is a fake, otherwise I would die of guilt.

    It was two o'clock in the afternoon when the three of them returned to the village, and the two of them didn't bother to eat, went home, changed their clothes, and went to work in the field.

    Zhang Hongmei also had to follow.  But secretly ate a meat bun.

    Now that the first crop of sweet potato seedlings has been planted, the first few kang sweet potato seedlings can be pulled out.

    If it continues like this, nothing else can be planted at all, and it will be a waste of seeds to plant in such a drought.

    After dinner, everyone started arguing about planting or not.  Most people think that planting is useless, but a few people said that other villages also thought so last year, and when it rained, there was nothing in their fields.

    Everyone says what they say, and everyone is right.  And no one could convince anyone, and in the end it was Liu Mao who made the decision to grow sorghum. Among all the crops, sorghum is the most drought-resistant and has the best harvest. Without everyone, we can't complain to each other at night.

    So growing sweet potatoes requires overtime.  An older person who was of the same generation as Liu Changhe thought that it would be great if there was a plastic pipe from the height of the pool to the foot of the mountain, but where can I find such a long pipe?

    The next day, Zhang Hongmei was sent to the city to find Liu Changhai.  Zhang Hongmei didn't want to go, but only the main labor force could go, and she was the only one who went.

    The next morning, I rode my bicycle to the village, left the car at school, and then went to the city by car non-stop.

    When I arrived at the municipal government, I found Liu Changhai to share my thoughts, and Liu Changhai asked Xiao Wu to take Zhang Hongmei to the agricultural machinery station.

    The agricultural machinery station has plastic pipes, but there are not so many, at most 500 meters, but can't they all be given to them?

    In the end, it was Liu Changhai who called, and it took 150 yuan to buy the 500-meter pipe.

      This is not enough, it is much worse, but it can also save everyone from walking 500 meters.

    "Third Lord, can you trouble Xiao Wu to go to the village? I won't go back. I'll go to another city and ask him to tell the elders at home."

    "Can you do it yourself?" After asking Liu Changhai, he thought it was a waste of time to ask. So much food can be obtained, and maybe plastic pipes can also be obtained.

    "Okay, you go, I'll give you a thousand dollars first, try your best, and there is a manufacturer of plastic pipes in M ??City, you can go there and have a look, this is my office phone, call if you have something to do."

    Liu Changhai handed Zhang Hongmei her phone number, and was also worried about her.

    "Okay, I'll take the money with me, in case I can buy it."

    "Go, Xiao Wu is leaving immediately, don't worry about me, I can still take care of this."

    Zhang Hongmei was really afraid that using a private car would bring trouble to Liu Changhai.

    Zhang Hongmei didn't go directly to City M.  Instead, they went to the black market.  Put on makeup and find Sun Changquan.

    When Sun Changquan saw Zhang Hongmei coming over, he immediately came over, "Comrade, what do you need?"

    "I'd like a plastic pipe, five cents. Can I get it?"

    "This is not clear, I have to ask."

    "Is there any score?"

    "No one I know has done this before, but my relatives are in City M, so I can ask."

    "I'll go right away. This is a deposit of 200. I want as much as I want. Can you trust me?"

    "Believe it. Then how can I contact you?"

    Zhang Hongmei thought about it, this is really a problem.  "Well, I'll go to City M too. Let's find our own channels. Don't worry, you won't lose money. If you can get me more than 1,000 meters, I'll supply you with a thousand catties of sticks with cores."

    "real?"

    "Really, and I only charge you one yuan per catty."

    "Okay, shall we go together or separate?"

    "Let's go separately, are you going to stay in a hotel?"

    "right."

    "Well, I'll contact you then, so you don't have to worry about the transportation, I'll do it myself."

    The two separated after they agreed. Zhang Hongmei didn't know where M City was, so she should follow Sun Changquan.

    This person is also a talent, and within ten minutes after returning home, he rushed to the train station with a leather bag.

    I got off the train at 8 o'clock in the evening, and Zhang Hongmei also stayed in the hotel. This time, Liu Changhai got the letter of introduction, so it's better to follow the wise way.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
