The tough wife has room to farm

Chapter 279 The Signs of Drought

To say that it should be a prosperous year for the Shen family, but recently the old people in the village began to discuss a terrible conjecture, and Wen Nuan only knew about it when she overheard the children asking her.

After finding out, he secretly cursed himself for being confused, and didn't notice these details of life.

The weather this year is very abnormal, the heat is really hot, but there is not as much rain as in previous years, and it may be dry!

When the Shen family built the workshop before, Nuan was glad that during the time when the house was being built at home, there was not much rain in the weather, and he was lucky that the project was completed quickly and the workshop could be put into production.

But if there will be a year of drought, it is true that the impact on their own business will be small, and the people will suffer.

When she talked to Shen Pingxi, it turned out that my husband had already noticed it.

"This year is indeed relatively dry, but it should not be the kind of large-scale and terrible drought. It should only be in some areas. I noticed it when Mr. Chang and I visited the shopkeepers before. It is only a part of our southern part of Luwei Prefecture. That's the state of the region."

Nuan Nuan pointed his chin and said thoughtfully, "A part of the drought is also a drought. Most of these places in the south of Luwei Prefecture are farmland. The ones near the Nen River may be fine. You can dig channels to divert water to the fields. Those in other places will suffer."

Something flashed through my mind. It was a sentence in a documentary about drought and other disasters that I accidentally saw in my previous life. It said that droughts often have concurrent disasters, which do great harm to agriculture.

"The imperial court will provide corresponding disaster relief and tax relief, and the government will also take countermeasures. You don't have to worry too much about this."

Seeing that the daughter-in-law seemed to be thinking deeply, thinking that she was worried about the impact on her own business, Shen Pingxi couldn't help suggesting, "If you are still worried, we might as well go for a walk on the mountain to see the water level on the other side of the big lake. As long as there is water on the mountain, we can also get water when we drill deep wells here.”

The underground water sources are all interconnected, and in the south of Luwei Prefecture, there are relatively abundant water sources, and minor droughts will not cause too much impact.

Wen Nuan really couldn't remember the kind of concurrent disaster mentioned in the documentary, so she stopped thinking about it. Shen Pingxi and Shen Pingxi didn't take a carriage, but walked up the mountain on foot, as if they had just got married in the first place. It's normal when you eat the last meal and worry about the next meal.

Bringing a bow and arrow, Nuan Nuan carried the basket on his back, and walked towards the mountain.

Nuannuan on the road has been paying attention to the condition of the vegetation in the mountains. The flowers and plants on the ground are growing very well. Although the ground is very dry by the sun and people walk by can raise slight dust, it is obvious that the vegetation has not been affected.

The people in the fishing ground were very happy to see them coming up. Now every day they will produce a certain amount of catches and send them to restaurants everywhere for sale. Every day is very busy and not chaotic.

The feeling of leisure in the mountains is more flavorful than the village at the foot of the mountain.

When Zhou Lian saw Nuan Nuan, she always had a lot to say. Although she couldn't speak, she still took Nuan Nuan's paper to write and draw, telling what happened in the mountain.

Seeing Zhou Lian write down a string of numbers, Wen Nuan drew a few small pearls on the side for quick communication, and knew that the couple's small business has been doing very well recently.

Wen Nuan said to Zhou Lian with a smile, "That's great, save these well, and I can add a little brother to Xiao Cuixi in the future."

A joke, Zhou Lian blushed, lowered her head shyly, and wrote two words on it after a while.

"already……"

It was only after Nuan Nuan read it that he realized it, and shouted in surprise, "I already have it? Really! My God, please sit down for me, and you are not allowed to do anything from now on. Take care of me, you know?" , Those river mussels are called Shitou to play with."

This is great news. There is another member in their family. If they tell their aunt about this, they don't know how happy they will be.

Zhou Lian was supported by Nuan Nuan to sit on the kang, silently said the word "two", and then waved her hands, Nuan Nuan understood that it was only two months since she said this, so there is no need to be so coquettish.

Wen Nuan doesn't care how Zhou Lian lived when she was pregnant with Xiao Cuixi. Now that she is with her, of course she has to take good care of this little sister-in-law beside her, and said firmly, "If you are obedient and pay attention to rest, you will stay here Stay longer, if you are disobedient, I will take you down the mountain and tell your mother-in-law to watch over you!"

Zhou Lian showed a helpless smile, nodded to Nuannuan, and Nuannuan gave up.

Shen Pingxi and Gou Shitou walked into the house after going out to check the water level of the Great Lake, and took a look at the cattle farm.

"What are you talking about? I heard your voice from afar."

Shen Pingxi, as his brother-in-law, naturally couldn't sit on the bed, so he sat side by side with Nuan Nuan on the bench beside the bed, with a relaxed smile in his eyes.

Nuan couldn't wait to share the good news with her husband that Zhou Lian was going to be a mother again. Shen Pingxi glanced at the smirking Gou Shitou with a little jealousy, and hit his shoulder with a fist as big as a leather hammer.

"I really have you, congratulations, Brother Stone!"

"Hey, we just found out, now I cook fish soup for Xiao Lian every day."

Wen Nuan agrees with this point, "Fish soup is good, children who drink fish soup are smart, and Xiao Lian, remember to drink more chicken soup and eat more vegetables and fruits. Rabbit meat can no longer be touched, you have to eat more , now you are eating alone, and two are making up for it!"

Zhou Lian nodded again and again, indicating that she had remembered all of these.

It was getting late, and it would be almost dark when we walked down the mountain. Shen Pingxi and the others left the fishing ground and walked down the mountain. On the way, Nuannuan was still grinning from ear to ear for the good news.

"I didn't expect to hear such good news when we went up the mountain to see the water level today. I'm really happy."

Shen Pingxi, who was by his wife's side, said sourly, "If you are happy, I will be happier!"

A certain Miss Wen, who felt that she was still young and not in a hurry because she was not pregnant for the time being, turned her head and glared at the man, and returned to the subject, "How is the surrounding area of ​​the Great Lake? Has the water level changed significantly?"

"It is true that some water levels have dropped, and it is not very serious. At present, we can only say that we have seen signs of drought, and the real disaster has not yet appeared, but we might as well make preparations first, just in case."

"How should we prevent it?"

Shen Pingxi was very proud that his daughter-in-law could ask about himself, and answered two words neatly, "Dig a well!"

This kind of warmth is really inexperienced, and then I thought about it, some modern dry areas do have this kind of practice, the ground water is easily reduced by the large-scale evaporation of sunlight, and this deep well is indeed a solution.

Just do it when you think of it, not to mention that the daily water consumption of my own workshop is also very large. No matter whether there is a drought or not, this well must be prepared.
