Chapter 71 No such opportunity

"Fat Aunt, come in and have some tea." Xie Sining saw Fat Aunt standing outside, and greeted inside.

Seeing that Xie Sining was pouring tea with the kettle, the fat aunt also walked over, took the tea handed over by Xie Sining, she smiled with a bit of bitterness, "Sister Gu family, I really admire you, even though you You're young, but you're capable. It's been less than half a year since you came to Gu's house. You see, you've already managed everything inside and out in an orderly manner. Few women in the village have your skills."

"Where, I'm just lucky." Xie Sining replied with a smile, and then thought of something, and asked again: "I heard that the village has issued a notice, and the matter of increasing taxes has been settled."

When this matter was brought up, the fat aunt couldn't help but sigh, "Yeah, the harvest in the past few years has not been good in the first place. Ming barely paid the taxes, and it was enough for the big guy to eat. Now this sleeping There will be an additional [-]%, and after paying the tax, everyone will have no surplus food in their hands."

In the past few years, the gods have not favored the face, the crops have not grown very well, and they are already in a tight situation. If the harvest is good, they can still endure... Thinking of this, the fat aunt seemed to suddenly think of something.

She looked at Xie Sining, and thought of the crops in her family's field, which were better than those in the village. She didn't know how she planted them, and she rarely took care of them on weekdays, that is, weeding and so on. .

"That's right, sister of the Gu family, I have a question I want to ask you." The fat aunt thought about it and opened her mouth.

Xie Sining took a sip of tea, put down the bowl and asked, "What's the problem? Aunt Fat, we're so familiar, if you need anything, just ask."

"I see that the wheat in your field is golden, with bigger and more spikes than other people's. How do you plant it? Or where do you get good seeds?"

Xie Sining originally wanted to use Aunt Fat to solve the problem of space water, but now hearing her question, Xie Sining just followed the trend and said: "No, didn't you give me all my seeds? But... "

"What did you make up for?" Fat Aunt looked curious.

"You also know that the water used by the villagers to irrigate their crops is drawn from the river. My water is drawn from the well in the backyard of my house. It may be because of the well water, so the crops grow extraordinarily fast. Also exceptionally good."

Without waiting for the fat aunt to think about it, Xie Sining added: "By the way, the ginseng in my field is also irrigated with water from my own well every day."

The fat aunt seemed to remember something when she heard this, and asked quickly: "Is the soil you gave me that time also mixed with your well water?"

Xie Sining nodded, and now the fat aunt slapped her thigh, "Let me tell you, after using the water and soil you gave me, the few ginseng seeds I scattered in the ground also sprouted, it seems that they belong to your family." The water is good!"

"If the water in your house can really make the crops more productive, wouldn't everyone be saved if the imperial court increased taxes this time?" At this point, Fat Aunt seemed to realize that she had made a decision too quickly.

The well water belongs to the Gu family, and if everyone wants to use it, the Gu family must agree to it. It's useless if she says it, Xie Sining or Gu Ci must agree to it.

Seeing that the fat aunt suddenly stopped talking, Xie Sining also guessed what she was thinking, so he smiled and dispelled her worries, "If it can really help everyone, it will be considered a merit. Go discuss it with Gu Ci, and then call the village chief to solve the problem of how to divert the water."

Seeing her being so straightforward, Fat Aunt was immediately moved and excited, and held her hand and refused to let go.

"Sister of the Gu family, I thought you would be unhappy, but I didn't expect... It's because I misunderstood you from the bottom of my heart. You are really a kind person. Gu Ci is really lucky to have a daughter-in-law like you. !"

Xie Sining smiled awkwardly, thinking of Gu Ci, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and then hurriedly said to the fat aunt, let her go and tell some villages about this, and then let someone come to her house to fetch water to irrigate the crops first, See if it works.

The fat aunt let out a hey, and left happily.

In the afternoon, Xie Sining told Gu Ci about the water matter, and Gu Ci was puzzled at that time.

"Why don't I remember, there is another well behind our house?"

Although he hadn't been there much, he remembered very clearly that there was only a forest behind the house, overgrown with weeds, and there was no well at all.

"I dug in the back, can't I?" Xie Sining faced his probing eyes, took a deep breath and replied, "Okay." Although he still found it strange, he still knew what kind of temper Xie Sining had. She was too careful, and she felt annoyed in her heart, and she might ignore herself for several days.

After talking about the well with Gu Ci, after a while, the fat aunt brought three or five people to fetch water, and the fat aunt brought two wooden barrels over herself.

Xie Sining brought people to the back of her house, pointed to the well that she had glued with a few pieces of you, and said, "That's it, Fat Aunt, come first."

"Hey, good." Aunt Fat agreed, then went to carry two buckets of water and came out, and the people behind also went to fetch water one by one, and when they came out, they all thanked Xie Sining, and then they all left.

For the next few days, Auntie Fat would come to fetch water with a few people every afternoon, and on the third day, a group of people happily came to tell Xie Sining the good news.

"Sister of the Gu family, the well water in your house is amazing. It has only been watered for a few days. The vegetables and crops in the field have grown a lot taller. It seems that the water in your house is really good. !"

When Aunt Fat said this, other people also echoed and said that the Gu family's well water was good, and even more exaggeratedly said that it was not well water, but the water of the Milky Way in the sky, which is why it is so miraculous.

In this way, everyone spread the word to ten, ten to hundreds, and soon everyone in the village knew that Gu’s well water could speed up the growth of crops, and more and more villagers came to borrow water, and there was a long queue every day to fetch water. Xie Sining felt that this would not work, it was too troublesome, so she asked the fat aunt to invite the village head, and asked the village head to call a few people to dig a channel from the side of the well and lead the water directly to the field, which saved everyone from queuing up to carry water .

Of course, the village head agreed to this proposal, and even praised Xie Sining in front of the villagers.

After the introduction of well water into the fields, the villagers’ crops grew more than a little faster. Seeing that the autumn harvest has not yet arrived, the harvest has already begun. Every household is full of buckets and warehouses. All of this is due to Xie Sining.

The crops are ripe, and the ginseng planted by Xie Sining can also be harvested. This day she took several sacks to pack ginseng, and Gu Ci also came to help. The two dug together for an afternoon, and the ginseng was packed into several sacks. The crops feel envious when they see them.

After all, they have heard about ginseng before, and they have never seen it before, let alone a few sacks of ginseng. After going out and saying that they have seen a few sacks of ginseng, that is quite awesome, no exaggeration In other words, enough to show off for a lifetime.
