Just as everyone was busy watering the crops in the field, the sky suddenly became overcast, and everyone happily shouted "Long Live the Chairman", finally hoping for hope.
Zhang Hongmei was also very happy. The sorghum in the field was heading. This is God giving everyone a way to survive.
But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The sky was cloudy, but it was quite heavy, and there were lightning and thunder, but it only rained for an hour, and then the sky cleared up again.
The old people took pickaxes and found that they only wet their fingers. Everyone's disappointment is because Liu Maocai said that everyone should be content with a little rain, which is much better than no rain. After all, it is impossible to achieve this by just picking water. It means that everything is good.
Although the rain was not heavy, it really eased the drought, at least for Liujiatun, it was timely rain.
However, some villages are in a hurry. The sticks and stalks in the field are less than one meter high. Even the rain will not help much. The reduction in production is certain.
Everyone squatted on the ground and cried loudly, but what's the use? Some villages do not rely on the river at all, and the wild pits in the villages have long since dried up, so there is no need to water them even if they want to.
After the rain, some villages were even more downturned, with no enthusiasm at all. Almost all the people were lying at home, and the hungry would slow down if they didn't move, so they could save food.
After hearing what Liu Erya said, Zhang Hongmei felt sad. Did she give up on herself? I was glad that I had crossed to Liujiatun, where there were mountains and rivers, even if there was a disaster, I would not lose my way.
Seeing so many people being affected by the disaster, I feel very uncomfortable, but what can I do?
This drought is nationwide, even if the country wants to rescue it, it will be unable to do what it wants.
Zhang Hongmei went up the mountain with Zhang Xingguo, she was in a hurry, and as long as it was edible, she would bring it home. Zhang Xingguo didn't let her go.
I also made a special trip to the old lady's house. Seeing her anxious mood, the old lady only said that she was too impatient, and Zhang Hongmei was at peace.
Every day when Zhang Xingguo came back from herding sheep, he would carry a large box of grass on his back. Zhang Hongmei knew that he had gone deep into the mountains and was very worried.
For dinner, we made water rice with sorghum rice, and spread out several pots of egg pancakes. "Uncle Zhang, don't go into the deep mountains. If you encounter large wild animals, it will be too dangerous, and our sheep will be lost. There is enough fodder at home. Don't worry, I have a lot of bean straw and stick straw Son. Don't make me worry, or I'll go up the mountain with you."
"Okay, but now there is no grass on the outside at all. After this rain, there are weeds that have just emerged, but the sun has been shining these days. I think it will be difficult to grow."
"Uncle Zhang, let's go up the mountain together. We are still company. Besides, if I don't carry water and food, I won't be happy staying at home all the time."
"Okay, let's go up the mountain together tomorrow." Zhang Xingguo knew that he couldn't persuade this girl, so he just followed, it wouldn't be too ugly if he had a gun in his hand.
Early the next morning when Zhang Xingguo came over, he saw that Zhang Hongmei was ready. Breakfast is sugar packets of white flour, and I picked two old cucumbers. And the leftover sorghum rice water and pickles from last night.
After eating, the two drove the sheep up the mountain. A ram led the way, and the people just followed behind.
The chickens in the family are half grown, because Zhang Hongmei always secretly feeds them food. So it looks very spiritual. It is estimated that the eggs should be laid after autumn. Just keep less, only five chickens.
? But it can¡¯t be too much, it¡¯s eye-catching, people can¡¯t eat enough, and it¡¯s a sin to raise too many chickens too well.
I followed the sheep in a wild way of thinking, and now I have to walk for nearly two hours if I want the sheep to eat grass, that is, to the edge of the sweet potato field.
The sweet potatoes are growing really well, just like in previous years, the seedlings are very dense, and they look strong when they are green. Zhang Hongmei didn't care about the sheep, but squatted down and slowly pulled the sweet potato seedlings away with her hands. When she saw the sweet potato as thick as a rolling pin unearthed, Zhang Xingguo looked at it and applauded, "This sweet potato grows really well. It is estimated that it will be harvested in autumn." Yields will be high."
"I hope this is the case, so that everyone can get more points."
"Aren't you going to keep it for yourself?"
"Why do I need so much? I can't finish it? Besides, the people in the village are very kind to me, so I can't keep a lot of food in my hand and watch everyone starve, can I?"
"What a good girl, I saw you right."
"Uncle Zhang, I am not as good as you think. I just want to help people who are kind to me and have good intentions to me."
"That's good, I'm afraid you're a nice guy."
"Am I that stupid?" Zhang Hongmei gave Zhang Xingguo a blank look, really underestimating herselfown. I believe in what the old man said the most, 'how can you repay virtue with virtue? ¡¯ Therefore, there has always been revenge and revenge, and retribution for grievances, and double repayment for favors.
I hope this piece of sweet potato field can produce 20,000 catties, so that everyone in the village can get a hundred catties. Don't underestimate the one hundred catties of sweet potatoes. If you eat sparingly, it may save your life.
Zhang Hongmei saw hope, so she wandered around the sweet potato fields leisurely. In fact, she knew why Zhang Xingguo came here to herd sheep, probably because he was afraid that people or animals would harm this piece of sweet potato. It is estimated that if he can live here at night, he will not leave.
Although this man looked carefree. But he is a kind and considerate person, even one arm is still alive and well.
"Uncle Zhang, let me go inside and have a look. It would be great if I could pick more wild vegetables. I'll go back and blanch them and dry them in the sun. Let's save them for winter stuffing."
"Then you have to be careful, don't play for too long."
"Understood, I will try my best. This is lunch, let's share it. If I really come back late, you don't have to starve. Let's borrow a fishing net tomorrow and see if we can catch fish."
"You know how to use the net?"
"No. How about I go to school tonight?"
"Even if you learn it, you may not be able to do it. It's a skilled job."
"Try it and you'll know? I remember Er Ya said that they have it at home. I'll borrow it at night."
"Okay, as long as there is something to eat, I'm happy. You can watch for yourself, but you have to pay attention to safety."
Zhang Hongmei waved her hands and left with a basket on her back and a hatchet.
Going to the river to take a look, the water really doesn't drop too much. This is a place for the villagers to save their lives. Even if the people around them rush over, they will really starve, but it can't stop others from finding a way to survive.
Continue to move forward, there are too few people here, even the fools and the others rarely enter it together.
However, there are more resources inside than outside. First of all, the wild vegetables are planted next to each other, so we dug a large basket without moving the place.
