There are about 370 people in Changxi village. The patriarch finally selected 30 strong and powerful adult men and divided them into two groups. At the same time, he dug two deep wells until the water came out.
Most of those who do not participate in digging wells choose to produce grain. For adults, five catties of grain will be provided, while for children and the elderly, half will be provided.
The next day, Xu Qing took 13 Jin mung beans to the patriarch's house and asked if he would take them.
A few women interposed beside: "of course! These are good beans, much better than rice. "
Rice with shell, the weight has to be discounted, unlike Xu Qing's beans are solid 13 Jin of grain.
The patriarch gives all the money and grain to the men who dig wells. This is the hard work paid by those who can't dig wells. The crisis is around the corner, and I believe no one will be lazy.
Xu Qing didn't know much about well digging, so he didn't go to see it. When Xu Qing entered the space this morning, she found that the sow and ewe were pregnant. She was busy making a new fence to separate the boar and ram.
Two sows and two ewes were pregnant at the same time, which was very successful. Xu Qing was not so successful. He didn't find the clue until the sows and ewes had big stomachs.
The grass in the original fence is growing well. Xu Qing moves the boar and ram to the new fence. After a few days, the grass in the new fence will grow, so that they can stay at ease.
Xu Qing didn't know what other people's pigs were like, but since the three pigs lived in the space, they were clean all the time. He would rub off the dirty things on the grass, which can be said to be very clean.
Usually, those extra vegetables and leaves are all solved by them. I don't know if they grow fat and strong one by one because of adding meals every day, which makes people want to sharpen their swords.
The three sheep live a little more delicately. They prefer the crisp grass under their feet and are not interested in the vegetables Xu Qing feeds.
After clearing the fence, Xu Qing went to the field to pick a lot of ripe vegetables.
So many vegetables can't be eaten by herself, and it's hard to give them to others. Xu Qing makes pickles, pickles and dried vegetables. At least she can explain that they were made a long time ago, which is not as eye-catching as fresh vegetables.
In the evening, a pigeon suddenly landed on the grape trellis of Xu Qing's family.
Qi Feng heard the sound and untied the letter box tied on the pigeon's leg.
"Whose message is it?" Asked Xu Qing.
"It's my brother's." Qi Feng hands the creed to Xu Qing.
Xu Qing looked happy and took a look.
[return in three days -- Li Changting. 】
a short sentence instantly made Xu Qingmei smile, but he couldn't help complaining: "didn't he promise to come back tomorrow, liar?"
In the twinkling of an eye, June is coming, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter. The hottest time at noon is almost July and August.
Every day, Xu Qing would fill Li Tinghui with a bamboo tube of water and let him take it to school to drink. However, these two days, she saw that Li Tinghui's mouth was peeling.
Xu Qing didn't ask Li Tinghui, but asked xiaomeizi if someone robbed Huier's water.
Xiaomeizi shook her head and said, "only Huier has water in the whole school, so everyone asked him for water. It's so hot and everyone is thirsty."
Xu Qing is relieved that no one will rob her. She worries that hui'er's introverted temperament is easy to be bullied.
But soon, Xu Qing noticed that the two children at home coughed from time to time, worried about whether they had any diseases. Xu Qing took out a thermometer and took the temperature of the two children one by one.
No fever.
That's why the air is so dry.
Xu Qing goes to discuss with Li Jinmei that he wants to give the two children a holiday. He doesn't want to go to school for the time being. It's not that he cares about other people drinking Huier's water, but that the child's resistance is poor. It's frightening to cough all the time.
"Nothing else, just afraid of being infected by other children." Xu Qing said, "now there is a shortage of water. Everyone saves water. Who will take a bath? It's dirty one by one. It's hot and it's easy to get sick after a long time. "
Li Jinmei thinks it's reasonable: "then I won't go. I'll go and tell the master."
In fact, Li Qinshu had planned to have a holiday for a long time. In class, some children often cry thirsty and ask him for water, but he doesn't take it out either. At the beginning of the month, after Li Jinmei said something, Li Qinshu gave all the children a holiday the next day.
Li Qinshu's sudden holiday has also made some parents dissatisfied. After all, they have paid tuition fees for one year. How can they say that if they don't teach, they won't teach?
Li Qinshu asked the patriarch to help him explain this point. Some children are in poor health recently. They are always coughing for fear of infecting other children. Therefore, before pumping out the well water, they should take a holiday for the children to take care of themselves.
With this explanation, we will not let our children go to school immediately. We are afraid that our children will get some diseases, so we should keep an eye on safety.
On the third morning, as soon as Xu Qing woke up, he saw Li Changting sitting in the room.
"You're back!" Xu Qing jumped up happily and rushed to hold him, but Li Changting caught him with both hands."I'm dirty. Don't hold me yet." Li Changting road.
Xu Qing noticed that his body was a bit messy, and his beard and dregs had grown up. He didn't know how long he hadn't taken care of himself.
"How long have you been up?" Xu Qing poked at the greenish black under his eyes. "The black circles are almost catching up with the giant panda."
"Giant panda?"
"Nothing. I'll take you in for a shower." Xu Qing takes Li Changting into the space to boil water for him to prepare bath water.
Li Changting scooped up a large ladle of spring water and had a good drink.
The fire was burning, and the water was hot very fast. Xu Qing urged: "go to take a bath, and you can eat after taking a bath."
While Li Changting went to take a bath, Xu Qing went down to the cellar to pick out a piece of bacon, a chicken and a rabbit, fried six dishes, stewed a large pot of rice, and finally went to the field to pick a watermelon.
Half an hour later, Li Changting came out of the room with his long wet hair. He sat at the dining table, picked up bowls and chopsticks and ate them. He lived as if he had been hungry for more than half a year.
"Are you thin?" Xu Qing carefully looked at his face and found that Li Changting was really thin, and he was all thin.
"How did you eat these half months?" Xu Qing stood behind him with a comb to comb his hair and asked.
"What's done outside is not as good as yours." Li Changting road.
Xu Qing raised the corner of his lips, and then quickly drooped down. Li Changting lost weight. He was afraid that he had more than 20 jin. He didn't know where he had gone and what he had done during this period of time. He turned himself into such a mess.
"Do you want to cut your hair so long?" Xu Qing asks a way, "cut to the waist here, can dish up go."
"Whatever you want." Li Changting didn't care much about Tao.
Xu Qing went to get the scissors, gave him a few clicks, cut off a long section.
