The control group of life winners in the passage through adulthood

Chapter 339
"Wow! Such a beautiful sugar, sister, is this really for me?"

"Yes, take it."

"Thank you sister, but my grandma said that you can't take other people's things casually, then sister, let me be your guide."

I also know the word guide, it seems that people often come to this place.

After getting acquainted with Jiang Mingyue, I realized that because of the special geology and the national scientific research and experiment base deep in the desert, this small village can often receive experts and professors from all over the world.

"Thank you then."

"Didn't my sister give me candy? We call it mutual benefit."

Yo!This idea is quite advanced.

After getting to know him, I found out that the child and his grandma depended on each other for life, and his grandma was blind. The child is sensible. In order to reduce the burden on the grandma, he is always active in the village. When he sees a stranger like her, he warmly greets her. If the other party needs As a guide, he took this task, and he could gain some benefits from the other party later.

If he knew that he only had a blind grandmother, the guest would give the boy a few dollars based on sympathy, and the life of the grandmother and grandson would not be too sad.

Knowing the child's situation and thinking of Xiaoran at home, Jiang Mingyue grew closer to the child in front of her.

"By the way, sister, my name is Jixiang." He didn't have a name at first, but the patriarch gave it to him, and the patriarch has always taken care of their grandmother and grandson.

"Good name! Jixiang, please show me the whole village first."

There were more than ten families, but the two wandered around all morning before finishing.

Jiang Mingyue also knew a few books about the village.

Because it is close to the desert, it is named Biansha Village. It is the only oasis in a hundred miles, but this oasis cannot be planted. It is all steep hills with jagged rocks and grass growing in the gaps, but it is lush, but this In season, the green grass has become withered grass.

These seventeen households live by herding cattle and sheep, but because there is not a large area of ​​water and grassland, the number of cattle and sheep herding is limited, which is why they are generally not rich.

These years, they have all received preferential policies/policies from the state for them. Not to mention the need to hand over any livestock, the superiors often send people to give them free disease and pest prevention for cattle and sheep, and life is getting better day by day.

Jiang Mingyue also learned that it wasn't that there were few families in Bianshazhuang, but that their ancestors were not separated from each other and lived together as one family. The family she went to ask for water had a total of 48 members, not even one. The four granddaughters-in-law are already full.There are only two grandchildren like the Jixiang family.

But these people live far away, separated by a few hills. Fortunately, it is not a big mountain, and you can have a panoramic view when you stand in front of the gate, but it is not easy to walk.

And it is inconvenient for them to drink water, it all depends on rainwater. Instead of fruit trees in front of and behind the house, there are several huge water storage pools built with bricks and stones. Therefore, if it rains here, it is like a festival. All the personnel of the family were dispatched to fill up several reservoirs, which will be the domestic water for their future family.

The low-lying ponds with aquatic plants divert rainwater from all directions. If there is a heavy rainstorm in summer, the reservoirs can overflow. This is water for livestock, which is why there are only a few households. However, they are spread out and live so sparsely that water alone can be robbed by people.

Jiang Mingyue thought of the experimental base in the desert, and their water supply might also be difficult.

Thinking of Yan Jinzhi's newly bought small courtyard, Jiang Mingyue's head suddenly ached. No wonder the courtyard was bare, with no green at all. This is probably a place to live while waiting for the rain to catch the rootless water.

Just ask who lives in that kind of place?

"Sister, go to my house for dinner. My grandmother likes to have guests to talk to her."

Jiang Mingyuexin said: Your grandma is lonely, but it doesn't mean you have to give up your rations.

Although this morning she has seen the hospitality of the people in this land.

"No, you go back to eat by yourself. If you have nothing to do after eating, come and find me." I will pay you, the little guy has worked hard all morning, and he can't just give someone two candies to finish the job.

"Okay, goodbye sister!" The little guy ran faster than a rabbit, probably because he was worried about his grandma.

Jiang Mingyue felt a little emotional. There are many children who are spoiled by grandma, but some of them don't know how to be grateful at all. Someone can match, this is the most precious wealth.

Jiang Mingyue opened the courtyard door and went in. As soon as she locked the door, she heard footsteps behind her.

"came back?"

Only then did Jiang Mingyue's tense nerves relax, "I thought you didn't come back like this!"

Yan Jinzhi held onto him, "Did you just think a thief came in?"

"Is not it?"

"Don't worry, no one dares to come in."

"Are there guards?" If that's the case, it's better for her to come less often.

"No, the guards are with me, they are there where I am."

Jiang Mingyue understood, this meant that she could only leave when he was not around, otherwise it would be easy to leak.

"That's not true. I let them stay outside the courtyard. They can't see everything in the courtyard. You can do whatever you want." He didn't want to restrain her. The reunion that came so hard should not be destroyed by others.

"That's good! Have you eaten yet?"

Yan Jinzhi squeezed her fingers gently, "What are you thinking? Naturally, I want to accompany you to eat when I come back. I brought a food box. I will give you a taste of the food here."

Jiang Mingyue is a qualified older sister, and she still doesn't forget her younger brother at this time, "Xiao Ran has nothing to eat."

"I knew you would say that, let's go, let's go in and eat."

Going in is naturally entering the space.

In addition to the food box, there was also a pot of buttered tea. Jiang Mingyue poured out three cups, and then took out the highland barley cake, clear soup and mutton and dipping sauce from the food box. These were the three items, but the portions were substantial, except for the initial discomfort. , it tastes delicious, Jiang Mingyue took out Xiaoran's portion.

The little guy was also very hungry at this time, and he couldn't see his sister coming back when he looked left and right. He regretted that he didn't cook, but it was too late to do it now.

"What are you thinking? Come to eat?" The person carrying the food box came out from the stone arch at No. 43, and Xiao Ran jumped out suddenly, full of surprises.

"Sister, are you back?"

"Well, are you hungry? Come and eat." Jiang Mingyue didn't explain much. Anyway, she told them all about her leave, so it's not surprising to play around, and she mentioned that she didn't come back for dinner after reaching a tacit agreement.

"Not hungry! Not hungry!"

Jiang Mingyue didn't expose him, and handed him the highland barley cake, "Try it, I exchanged it with an uncle in private, and see if I get used to it?"

Xiao Ran's stomach was full, but when he saw different cakes and buttered tea that he had never seen before, all his attention was attracted. He couldn't wait to take a bite of the barley cakes, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to drink it I took a big sip of buttered tea and received it well.

Jiang Mingyue wasn't worried that he would get used to the food, if he could eat both, the mutton in clear soup would definitely be a no-brainer.

"You can eat, my sister has eaten. Arrange your own time after eating."

"Sister, where are you going?"

"I'm not going, I'm going to sleep, you eat quickly, it's all yours."

Xiaoran felt relieved now, and buried her head in eating the delicious mutton, and took a sip of the soup sprinkled with chopped green onion from time to time. She looked like a snack in her small appearance.

"Is he used to it?"

"Well, children are greedy and adapt well."

"That's good. Let's eat quickly, too."

"It tastes really good."

"It's good! The colleagues in the cooking class made it. There are no fresh vegetables over there, and often only these are very greasy."

"Then don't eat it. Leave it for us. I'll get you another one."

"convenient?"

"There are ready-made."

"That's fine!" Yan Jinzhi was very eager, there was no way to do it over there, and now she can change the taste, she did it, so she is naturally happy.

In the afternoon, Yan Jinzhi returned to the test base, and Jiang Mingyue waited for auspicious arrival.

"Sister, where else do you want to go? I'll take you there."

"Auspicious, can I visit your house?"

The little guy was very happy and showed a bright smile, "Of course, go, I will take you there now, you don't know, my grandma wants you to go too."

Jiang Mingyue put the basket on her back and locked the door.

"Sister, that's our patriarch."

At the end of a row of prayer wheels, an old man in local costume tied a prayer flag on a tree branch, praying to the gods for heavy rain soon.

"How long has it been since it rained here?"

Regarding this problem, Jixiang remembers very clearly, "91 days. Sister, the water storage ponds of several houses in the village have dried up, and the animals are rushed to the water storage ponds of the patriarch's house. The pond will dry up too."

Even the livestock reservoirs have dried up, so what about the drinking water for the villagers?Also, if it is stored for 91 days, there must be a large number of microorganisms. Is it safe to take water?

Jiang Mingyue was worried for the villagers.

"Haven't your patriarch thought of organizing people to dig wells?"

"What is drilling a well?" Ji Xiang tilted his head and asked in confusion.

Jiang Mingyue sighed. After all, he was a child. No matter how smart he was, he couldn't tell what he hadn't seen.

"Drilling a well is to dig a hole underground. There may be an underground river passing by under the land we are stepping on. If it hits just right, the water from the underground river will surge up to the ground, and the village will have no water to drink. It's out of water."

"Really? It's amazing! I'll tell the patriarch grandpa."

Before Jiang Mingyue could stop him, Ji Xiang had already run away like the wind.

If the children don't know, it's impossible for the patriarch not to know, so why don't they dig wells?Or is it that there are no capable people in this area?Jiang Mingyue's intuition is not. Backed by the test base, the state will take care of it, and it will not allow the public grain to be paid. It is not difficult for the state to dig a well for it.

Jiang Mingyue was puzzled.

As for the clan elder, Jiang Mingyue greeted him, but the language of the two people was different, and there was a communication barrier, so auspiciousness was needed to be conveyed between them.

"What did your patriarch grandpa say?"

Jixiang was also a little confused, "Grandpa Zu said that you can't dig wells, it will anger the mountain god."

Jiang Mingyue opened her mouth and said nothing in the end. She knew that in some places the folk customs and beliefs were like this. She didn't think she had such a big face, and she couldn't do things that the country couldn't do.

Yes, after the clan elders said that, Jiang Mingyue understood that the country must have helped them solve the water problem a long time ago, but they were afraid of alarming the mountain gods, so they delayed until now.

This... let her say something?

Bid farewell to the clan elders and go to Jixiang's house.

The grandma and grandson's house is just as she imagined, small and old, but fortunately it is not broken, so there is no need to worry about it when the wind and rain come.

"Solve it, it was repaired by the uncles of the People's Liberation Army/Army, they are doing well."

"Yeah! They're the cutest people!"
