The villages are busy diverting water tank land, and they have to prevent other villages from stealing water. Niuluo Village is not idle either, and the reservoir village is busy everywhere.
With the increase of villages using water, Niuluo Village got a lot of food, and everyone was able to open their stomachs and eat well for a few days in a serious manner, but it was only a few days, and what should be saved next is still to be saved.
The water level has dropped a lot, but after one night, it can rise again, which makes people who are worried that the water in the reservoir will soon bottom out feel a little relieved.
Villages with a radius of hundreds of miles count on this reservoir. If the reservoir is not full of water, the villages that are closer will be fine, but those that are far away will be dumbfounded.
"Grandma, are you going out?"
As soon as Bai Xi got out of the tree house, the passing villagers greeted him with smiles.
"Yes." Bai Xi nodded, with her hands behind her back, looking like an adult, and said calmly, "I'm going to see how my fruit tree is doing."
Previously, Xiao Shunzi practiced boxing under Baixi's fruit tree, and was severely punished by his family. After that, although he paid tribute to Baixi's watermelon, he also got a few peach trees from the mountain and planted them.
It has been two years, Bai Xi never thought of it before, but only after eating the dried yellow peach sent by Lu Chen today, did she remember it.
When Bai Xi arrived at her small orchard and took a look, the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily.
This thin trunk is not as thick as her wrist-thick fruit tree, can it really bear fruit?
It's not that the villagers don't take good care of them, but because of the lack of fertilizers, it's hard for fruit trees to grow well.
No wonder the last time she asked casually, Chen Rui said that it would take five or six years for fruit trees to grow to be edible.
Originally, Bai Xi thought that he could see the little peaches hanging on the branches, but who would have thought that, not to mention the little peaches, the peach tree looked far away from being able to bloom.
Go away in high spirits and return in defeat.
On the way back, Bai Xi looked depressed. Chen Rui just came back after washing her clothes. Seeing this, she asked, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"
"It's nothing!" Bai Xi replied weakly.
"Auntie, you"
Chen Rui hadn't finished speaking when she saw Bai Xi's walking body stop and her face froze. Under Chen Rui's puzzled gaze, Bai Xi looked down at her feet, and Chen Rui followed Bai Xi's steps. Seeing Xi's movements, she immediately understood.
"Grandma, sit on the side for a while, and I'll wipe your shoes for you and rinse them to make sure they're clean."
It turned out that it was Bai Xi Youshen who accidentally stepped on chicken feces.
Bai Xi didn't listen, but scanned the surroundings, and happened to see a chicken passing by, so she didn't care if this was the culprit, and immediately asked angrily: "Whose chicken is this, whose chicken "
Everyone in Niuluo Village doesn't know that Baixi loves to clean up every house, but it's not uncommon for someone to sneak out with a chicken or two.
Bai Xi also knew it, but she would be depressed, stepped on chicken shit again, and naturally exploded.
"It's too unhygienic. I've said it all. You have to be hygienic, or you will get sick. Whose chickens don't take good care of them"
Bai Xi yelled angrily for a while, then left with her hands away, leaving Chen Rui staring at the direction in which the chicken was running away thinking for a while.
For dinner, Bai Xi's dish is stewed chicken with red dates and shiitake mushrooms.
Bai Xi ate a few mouthfuls, then stopped suddenly, looked at the slightly unfamiliar woman who followed Chen Daliu, and asked strangely.
"Do you have something to do?" No wonder Bai Xi would ask, this woman came with Chen Daliu, usually at dinner time, even if Chen Daliu came, it was just to ask her, or if she wanted to ask her about something. If someone comes, then there is something wrong.
What's more, this woman still has an uneasy look on her face, it's hard for Bai Xi to ignore it.
"No, nothing." Seeing Bai Xi looking at her, the woman hurriedly shook her head.
Bai Xi didn't intend to embarrass the woman, she looked at Chen Daliu and said, "Come on."
"Grandma, there's nothing wrong with it, but the chicken shit you stepped on today is her chicken, so"
When Bai Xi heard this, she immediately felt a little embarrassed. At that time, she was just venting her anger, and she hadn't tested it. Who knew which chicken it was.
"It's okay, I forgot about it a long time ago." Bai Xi concealed her embarrassment, her small face was full of indifference, my most angry expression.
However, when she lowered her eyes, she suddenly remembered that Chen Zhaodi did not have stewed chicken for dinner. The chicken was served from the food basket brought by the woman. He took the chicken out of his mouth and asked, "Is this chicken the one from the afternoon?""Yes, yes." When the woman heard this, she nodded happily: "I came back this afternoon and heard that the chicken was so ugly that it offended my aunt, so I will kill it."
Bai Xi heard the words, looked at the chicken in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a while.
It turned out that although Bai Xi left angrily, she didn't mean to settle the score, but Chen Rui was there, and after Bai Xi left, a villager from afar saw it and asked, and Chen Rui naturally told the truth about it .
So, in the afternoon, the village launched an activity to find the culprit.
Chen Rui has a good memory, and the characteristics of the chicken are also obvious. I only need to describe a little bit, and I know what kind of chickens are in the village.
When the woman heard this, she immediately froze. It was her own chicken that made her aunt unhappy.
Although I was a little scared, there was nothing to hide about this matter, so I reported it immediately, and then decided to kill it to calm my aunt.
Bai Xi was taking a nap when she was looking for chickens in the village, so she didn't know about it.
Speaking of it, this chicken is a pheasant, but when Bai Xi sent it down, it has been raised for a year now, and it just likes to sneak out and run around.
After a while, Bai Xi said in a tangled voice: "Actually, there is no need to slaughter them. It is not easy for you to raise some chickens, and I am not short of meat."
?Don¡¯t look at the families in the village who seem to have enough food now, but the family is still weak. This meat is not eaten whenever you want, and the chickens are raised for the purpose of laying eggs in exchange for oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
The woman took it for granted: "It doesn't pay attention to hygiene, so it has to be slaughtered for my aunt to eat."
The corner of Bai Xi's mouth twitched again.
So, she was the one who killed the chicken?
Although Bai Xi ate it as soon as he ate it, and it was fine to turn around and ask Xiao Hei to pay him two pheasants, but well, it always felt a little strange.
"Turn back and ask Xiao Hei to send two chickens to your house."
The woman quickly waved her hand: "Don't, aunt, you don't dare to do this." After she finished speaking, she looked towards the village beside her for help.
She killed chickens for her aunt to eat, not for the sake of her aunt giving more chickens.
Seeing this, Chen Daliu smiled and said: "Grandma, killing a chicken is also a tribute to you. You can just eat it. You don't know that Mrs. Li is an expert at raising chickens. Before, my aunt divided her family. She has three pheasants, her family now has a dozen or so, and they can pick up seven or eighty-nine eggs a day."
