Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 151 Drought
Fortunately, I secretly wrote [-] during the day, otherwise I would probably stop updating today. After drinking some wine, my head will be rusted. I have to think for a long time to write a sentence, and it’s too late. I’m sorry everyone%>_< %
============
Because the weather is too hot, the outdoor crops will be scorched and dry almost every day, and they will have to be watered again at night. People are looking forward to the quick growth of potato seedlings, while praying that winter will come later, maybe it is people’s Prayer helped, half a month later the weather was still hot, but purple seedlings emerged from the field.

From this day on, Qiao Miwei became even busier. In addition to watering the fields every night, he also weeded the fields. Fortunately, these potato seedlings were growing well, and they were not bullied by those weeds. They did not let down those chemical fertilizers at all. Swish it grows fast, and the seedlings have grown into large plants in two weeks. Their leaves are wide, crowded and connected together, completely occupying the sunlight, and they are not afraid of the weeds around them vying for the territory. It was only then that Qiao Miwei relaxed a little.

This day, after she had a good rest, she entered Taoyuan after thinking about it. She hadn’t entered Taoyuan for a few days. Fortunately, she still remembered that there was a rhubarb here that needed to be fed. She reminded her family to come in and feed it every day, otherwise this poor The weasel must starve to death. As usual, she took Dahuang to the pool to catch a loach, and then tied it back. Dahuang followed Qiao Miwei quietly.

Qiao Miwei watched the rhubarb nibbling on the loach while pondering. It is said that there must be other yellow skins here, but since the rhubarb was caught, there was no second yellow skin. Qiao Miwei sometimes wondered that it might be this The guy communicated with its partners, or those partners would dare to stroll here after seeing the fate of Rhubarb.

Ever since the rhubarb stopped clamoring for grilled fish, its fur has become smooth again. Qiao Mi patted the rhubarb slightly, then got up to look for tools. Today she came in to collect rapeseed and press oil.

"Wei Wei, when did you come in?" Qin Zhiyuan's voice came from behind, she looked back, and it was indeed Qin Zhiyuan who came in.

Qiao Mi took out two sickles slightly, and handed one to Qin Zhiyuan, "I just came in for a while, didn't you go to look for Liu Dagang, why did you come back so soon, how is it over there?"

Qin Zhiyuan took the sickle and waved it around and asked, "Collect rapeseed?" Seeing Qiao Mi nodded slightly, the two walked into the field together, "I just saw it, it is said that it has been planted, but now there is nothing , and nothing to look at."

Qiao Miwei asked worriedly, "I heard that the fungus is very important. The one he got from the mountain is a fungus? Can it work?"

Qin Zhiyuan spread his hands, "I don't understand either, let's have a look again, if it doesn't work, there is no loss."

Qiao Mi nodded slightly. Indeed, I will never be reconciled if I don’t try it. Only after I try it will I know if it will work.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Sun Ying came in yawning. Seeing that the two of them had cut a lot, he quickly found tools and went to work together, "When did you two come in? Didn't you sleep? You should have a good rest, otherwise I can't stay up late at night."

Qiao Mi nodded slightly, "I've slept in, just sleep for a whole morning, and I can sleep for a while in the second half of the night, that's enough."

After this period of training, Sun Ying has become quite decent in farm work. The three of them harvested a rapeseed field in half a day, and the rest of the work was done by Qiao's father and Qiao's mother. This was the old couple's initiative. Yes, they are too old to work outside, so in addition to teaching the seven or eight little guys, they are required to take the initiative to undertake some jobs in Taoyuan.

When it was dinner time, the three of them packed up and left Taoyuan. At this time, Yu Yawen had already prepared the meals. Except for the time when the locusts were infested, most of the time the whole family still had a small stove here, but Qiao Ming's family was missing. Yawen is also smart. She never asks where the sudden extra vegetables and fresh meat come from at home, and why Sun Ying disappears from time to time. If necessary, she believes that Qiao's family will definitely tell her. Since they didn't tell her That is, before it was time to talk, she was very confident that she was not excluded by the whole family, so she didn't have any emotions, and the whole family saw her reflection, and felt a little guilty at the same time as comforting, but it was How to make up excuses to deceive her saved the whole family from having a headache.

Today's dinner is relatively rich, mainly because a pig was killed in the base two days ago. Yes, it is one of the few wild boars that were caught before. It was a lot of consumption. Qin Yulin considered that people might need to replenish their physical strength, so after discussing with Qin Zhiyuan, he killed a piglet. Although the villagers said that there was no need to kill the pig, as long as they had enough food, they were reluctant to part with those few piglets. , but the base can’t just forget about it. The base has to do well, so that people can feel comfortable staying in the base and work hard.

Although the piglet is small, it has all five internal organs. Qin Yulin decided to keep those internal organs, half of which was kept by himself and sent to Qiao's family.

Qin Zhiyuan's view of Qin Yulin has also changed now. Once a person has a career and has a serious business, he will be different. Qin Yulin was too messy before, so now he is very good in contrast, although for his The blood problem still made Qin Zhiyuan feel uncomfortable, but it did not prevent him from appreciating Qin Yulin. The two brothers stopped having conflicts, and the base became more harmonious. As the saying goes, brothers work together to cut gold, so Qin Zhiyuan is very relieved. A burden was placed on Qin Yulin's shoulders, and some of the work that was not considered confidential was assigned to him. After all, Qin Yulin was a child cultivated vigorously by the Qin family. Lacking some practical experience, now that he has practiced in the base, his whole person has grown up as if he had been completely reborn.

This kind of Qin Yulin is dazzling, so Qiao Yixue's attitude towards him has really changed a lot during this time, from the initial disdain to the half-push to the current little ambiguity, it can be said that the two of them have actually changed apart from the window paper. It can be regarded as dating, Qiao Miwei and Qin Zhiyuan are happy to see the result, Qin Yulin after the change, Qiao Miwei thinks it is still very good, and it is also very good to match his cousin, but Xia Yao has to be wronged.

It's just that Xia Yao herself doesn't feel much. Even if Qin Yulin has changed for the better, Xia Yao grew up with him, and the impression of the dandy in the past is too deep, and she only has brother-sister affection for Qin Yulin, and she can't develop it at all. The love between men and women comes, so she is also very happy to see her good sister and brother Yulin together. The population in the base is small, and those who can survive are lucky. If they can make a pair, almost the entire base Therefore, wherever Qin Yulin and Qiao Yixue went these days, people smiled and congratulated them, and those who were acquainted even made fun of them, asking when they would have a happy event, so that they could give birth to a big fat boy quickly.

In fact, Qin Yulin and Qiao Yixue are together, and Han Cuihua is the happiest. She finally managed to find a good son-in-law through her own girl, and managed to make her family match with a high-class family, so now Han Cuihua's favorite thing to do The only thing is to close your eyes and imagine your own superior life in the future.

In November, the growth of potato seedlings stopped. Qiao Miwei knew that it was the turn of the roots of potatoes to grow at this time. She even dug up a potato seedling to check the roots, and found that the roots were only two to three centimeters in diameter. Potatoes, it seems that planting potatoes is more reliable than planting corn. There are so many corns planted this year, and the cobs are harvested. Unfortunately, there are not even a quarter of the corn kernels on them. If the weather is not cold until December If so, this batch of potatoes is about to have a bumper harvest, and judging by the current weather, the high temperature will continue. It should be no problem to maintain the high temperature until December, but it also makes Qiao Mi slightly worried. There is no rain in the sky all summer. A drop of rain, fortunately, the people in the base are diligent, and all the people are using manpower to irrigate the ground. Soon after summer, the water level in the river is much lower than in previous years. It is indeed a drought, at least a year without rain, but it is really nothing to people today, but starting in November, the water level in the river began to drop at the speed of the naked eye, seeing the abundance of water The big river turned into a small river, and the small river turned into a stream, and a stream of blisters formed on Qiao Miwei's mouth.

If the river dries up, it may be difficult to irrigate the ground only by relying on the three deep wells in the base. Now she is racking her brains to figure out what to do so that the people in the base can enter Taoyuan without anyone noticing. How can I get the water out of Taoyuan.

Qin Zhiyuan also started scratching his head because of the water issue, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Qiao Miwei, so he could only try to explain her away, "Wei Wei, don't think about it, we are going up to the mountain to play, let's put aside the matter of the base, today Have fun."

Qiao Miwei nodded. Qin Zhiyuan dragged her into Taoyuan after lunch today, saying that he wanted to take her up the mountain to play. Qiao Miwei knew that he wanted to relax himself, but the land he planted in the summer had almost no harvest. , She pinned all her hopes on this potato field, and waited for a good harvest of these potatoes to alleviate the crisis of food shortage in some bases, but unexpectedly, the drought began again.

Qin Zhiyuan saw that Qiao Miwei was still frowning, grabbed her waist with both hands, carried her on his shoulders with all his strength, and then ran up the mountain with big strides, "Come on! Go forward to hope!"

Qiao Miwei was shocked by the sudden movement, "Ah! Qin Zhiyuan, put me down quickly, you robber!" Her stomach rested on Qin Zhiyuan's shoulders, and she felt bumpy and uncomfortable when she ran. She had no choice but to reach out and grab the clothes on Qin Zhiyuan's back to control her body.

Qin Zhiyuan raised his hand and patted Qiao Miwei's butt, without stopping at his pace, "Be honest, I robbed you, well, robbers marry their wives by robbing them." His strides were big, and he ran away in a few strokes When he reached the edge of the woods, he put Qiao Miwei down.

Because his body was controlled backwards, Qiao Miwei's hair flew all over the place, and as soon as his feet hit the ground, he couldn't wait to put his hands back together, "You robber! My stomach hurts."
