Farmers' group pet: the blessings of powerful ministers are soft and deceitful

Chapter 55
The family couldn't help but look sideways at the son-in-law they had invited.

What he said today made Jiang Shi and Lin Ru look at him differently.

I thought he was just picked up by Jiang Ning casually from outside, but he didn't want to pick up a treasure.

As an elder, it is also gratifying to see that the child can live happily.

After the matter of the poor child was settled, Jiang Shi also started to worry about the paddy field. Lin Ru asked a few words at the dinner table, and then said that he had slipped his mouth.

Now that the seedlings are almost grown, and the paddy fields have been plowed these days, it is time to bring water from the stream to the fields.

Every year at this time, because of the water diversion, the people in the village are in great trouble.

The people near the creek do not want the stream to pass through their fields, for fear that the water will wash their fields into sand, and there will be no good harvest after planting crops.

But if the family in front doesn't let go, the fields behind won't have enough water, and they won't be able to grow crops.

Every time, the two sides are in a stalemate, and this contradiction has accumulated year after year.

It happened that the fields of Jiang Shi's family were all in the back. If he wanted to divert water, he had to pass through other people's fields. In the past few days, it seemed that there would be trouble.

Seeing her husband's complexion, Lin Ru asked one more question.

Sure enough, I knew it was water diversion without asking.

The Jiang family divides the land according to the population, five acres per person, and now they have fifteen acres in their hands. Except for the busy farming season, Jiang Shi alone can take care of it on weekdays.

Therefore, many people in the village are envious of Lin Ru's good marriage. Jiang Shi can do most of the housework. It is not an exaggeration to say that the whole family is supported by Jiang Shi.

Back to the matter of water diversion, Shen Chenlan saw that the family members were frowning because of this matter, thought for a while, and said: "Father, otherwise, I will go and see tomorrow to see if there is any other way."

When Jiang Shi heard this, he glanced at Shen Chenlan.

It's not that he despises this son-in-law.

It's about this kind of crops that scholars don't necessarily understand.

He grew up in the field, and he has been farming longer than he has been studying. When it comes to the classics of crops, this scholar may not be as good as him.

Lin Ru thought it was a bit funny, this son-in-law really likes to take everything on him.

However, like Jiang Shi, she felt that no matter how smart Shen Chenlan was, he still didn't know how to farm.

Then he said with relief: "Shen Lan, it's okay, you can just study hard at home, and the elders can worry about the things in the field. If it doesn't work then, we will go to the fields near the stream as in previous years. People, discuss and negotiate, and make concessions to each other."

Come here every year.

Although every time I plant a field, I have to ask to come and go, but it is really annoying.

"Mother, don't get in the way." Shen Chenlan said, "It's just going to look around, and I won't waste a lot of time reading books. Let's go out and look at our place, maybe I will be more refreshed when I come back to read."

"Sure, it's better to go out for a walk than to be bored at home." Lin Ru didn't stop him.

It's just that he didn't take it to heart that he wanted to help the family solve the water diversion.

So the next day, the family had breakfast, and when Jiang Shi was about to go out, Shen Chenlan also packed up and was ready to go out with him.

Jiang Shi was stunned while carrying the hoe, and let him follow without saying anything.

The location of this paddy field is about five minutes' walk from home. Walking down a downhill road, you will see a flat paddy field, which looks very wide. It is estimated that the paddy fields of the entire Huatian Village are here.
