"My grandma, dad, looking at the weather, it's really going to be a drought this year. Do we have to store some water at home and keep it for future food?" The Huang family asked after eating late, after taking a cool down in the yard.

"Storage the water now. Can this water be drunk? Also, will the water not dry up?" Huang Liu asked immediately.

"You can't drink it, but we can water some fields without doing it. Who knows whether the water will dry up when it is really dry? Anyway, you'll just prepare for the rain." Huang Yiyun replied.

"Big girl, how can I store water? " Huang Li asked.

"Isn't there a piece of land empty on the right side of our backyard? Let's just circle out a piece of land, dig a pond, and then pour the water back into it to store water.

If this pond is dug, we can also sow some lotus root seeds to see if we can plant lotus roots. If possible, put some fish fry and raise some fish." Huang Yiyun thought for a while and said.

The Huang family’s backyard has been planned.

On the left side, a kitchen, a utility room, and a side door leading to the backyard. Next to the side door is a shed with an empty cattle pen and a donkey cart, and behind is a chicken, duck, pig pen.

Only in the front and in the middle of the right, the Huang family made a grape vine shelf, which had been placed in the polished stone table and stone pier. On the grape shelf, Huang Yiyun also transplanted three wild grape vines to go up. After growing for two or three years, he could make grapes and eat them at home.

By then, wild grapes will grow and cover the entire grape shelf, which can not only cool down, but also sit under the grape vine shelf to watch the stars and watch the moon.

Originally, there was an open space above the right side. Huang Yiyun originally planned to plant some fruit trees to eat at home, but after a severe drought this year, Huang Yiyun changed the plan.

Just circle a piece of land and dig a pond directly, which can store water and plant lotus flowers.

Then plant some peaches, persimmons, dates, loquats and other fruit trees around the corner on the right.

"I think the big girl's proposal is good. Even if it is not a water storage, our family can dig a pond and plant lotus flowers. After winter, they can also dig lotus roots to eat, and sell lotus roots to subsidize some household use.

Moreover, when we raise some fish, we can catch fish at any time when we want to eat it. After winter, the fish can be smoked and ripped. In winter, aren’t there a few more dishes on the table?” Huang Congjiang also agreed.

"So, since that's the case, just dig the pond. Let's dig it sooner or later. The sun will be too big during the day to avoid heatstroke." Huang Li immediately made a decision and said.

"Uncle, why not, you can make a few more large wooden barrels. The barrels are strong and not leaking. Let's put them under the eaves and store them for storage. Don't do it. At that time, if there is no water during a severe drought, the water will be used to save people." In previous years, when there was a severe drought, it was not the most important thing that food could not be collected. The most important thing is that there is no water to drink, and you are afraid of thirst.

However, every household has some surplus grain, which can be saved by a year or so. When the seeds are sown next year, when the new grain comes down, you can get through it and get through it.

I am afraid that when the first year of the drought will continue, the second year of the drought will be continued, and all the food will be eaten up, and there will be no new food to continue. After this scene, people will be starved to death.

The Huang family's hometown suffered a drought for two consecutive years. They ate all the food, but they could not buy food, and they could not plant the fields. In desperation, they had to migrate from their hometown to other undisastered cities.

Early the next morning, the Huang family got up early. After getting the land in the morning, the Huang family began to dig the pond.

The four of Huang Li, Huang Liu, Huang Jiang, and Huang Yiyun were digging the ground. The second sister, the third sister, Huang Pingcheng, the fifth sister, the sixth sister and Zijun put all the soil dug out by Huang Li and the others into a dustpan and asked the two of Huang Congjiang brothers to carry out and pour it out.

Get up early in the morning and get more time. When the sun gradually rises and gets hotter, you will rest.

In the evening, when the sun sets, the Huang family is busy again.

On this morning, the Huang family had just finished their work and was about to stop working. After resting, Huang Yiyun waved to Zijun and said, "Zijun, are you buying food now? If there is a drought this year, the price of this food will rise day by day. If you buy it again, will it be expensive?"

"Sister, I don't know this. Now my family's food has been reduced." Xu Zijun shook his head and replied.

"Well, my sister knows, come to my house for breakfast and evening meals in the future." Huang Yiyun nodded and signaled that she knew. Then, he ordered Xu Zijun to stay at her home for dinner.

"Sister, what's wrong? My mother and grandma both said that they can't stay at your house for dinner. I have to go back to have dinner?" Xu Zijun shook his head and said.

"Zijun won't stay at her aunt's house for dinner. If you come to her house again in the future, I'm embarrassed to let you do work, so I have to let you watch from the side?" Huang Liushi also liked Zijun's tight girl.

This girl is capable, careful and shy in her work, but she is also likable. Everyone in the family likes this girl. Even after Silang and Xu Zijun got married, she was a little embarrassed before. After getting familiar with her during this period, she played together and didn't say anything, but she was still learning big words from the school and taught Xu Zijun together. She even said interesting things about the school to Xu Zijun.

Before, Huang Liu blindly decided on the marriage between Silang and Zijun, just thinking that they were still young and played together, childhood sweethearts, and weren’t they having feelings for them while playing?

It seems that feelings need to be cultivated slowly.

"this........"

"It's nothing. It's okay to go to someone else's house to do work and eat at once?" The second sister said immediately after seeing Zijun hesitating.

"But, my mother said, I am your family's wife, and it's time to help you do things."

"Do you want the cow to do work and eat grass for it? That's it." Huang Liu touched Zijun's head and settled down directly.

As time comes to April and half, it is getting hotter and hotter.

The water in the canal next to the paddy fields dropped significantly by two fingers. Even the water in the big river in front of Qingshan Village dropped a lot of water. Moreover, it has not rained a lot so far, which has caused many villagers to worry.

As for the paddy fields, it has slowly dried up. Many villagers have to get up early and go to the canal to release water in the dark, irrigate it into the paddy fields, maintain the water in the paddy fields, and supply the rice to grow.
