Su Binglan listened and looked up at the sky.

It seemed a little dry indeed, and she didn't notice that it hadn't rained in the village for months.

In the backward era of ancient times, productivity was low, and everyone depended on heaven for food.

When the weather is good, more crops can be produced.

But in drought years, the villagers are not only more tired than in previous years, but the crops may also dry out.

The villagers rely on harvesting food in autumn to provide for the whole year.

They have been busy working from the beginning of spring, and they have been working until autumn, waiting for the harvest of food.

It's not easy.

So you can imagine how important food is to everyone.

Su Binglan's neighbor, Aunt Yang, also sighed.

Su Binglan looked into the field next to her. The crops were all sloppy, and the grains of wheat were not big.

The ground is cracked.

Although the villagers are very diligent, they often go to distant rivers to fetch water to irrigate the land, but it is useless.

The weather was so dry that the water evaporated quickly.

"If it doesn't rain, how will the day go?"

"No, the crops are going to die, and a year of busy work will be in vain."

"If you don't harvest crops, what will you do next year?"

"Yeah, don't starve to death."

"No, go find some work in town."

"It's not that easy. It's not like no one went to the town to find work before, and they couldn't earn a few coins after working so hard."

"And if you go to work in another mansion, you won't be able to go home at all, and you might be exhausted. That's not the case with the Su family, Su Wenzhe."

Everyone sighed as they said these words, and when they were carrying hoes and buckets, they were all listless.

Seeing the villagers like this, Su Binglan was thoughtful.

When Aunt Yang was walking back from the field, she happened to see Su Binglan, and she immediately put on a smile and said, "Is Binglan going to the field to help?"

Aunt Yang saw that she was carrying a basket and thought she was helping out in the field.

Su Binglan smiled and said, "Aunt Yang, I went to Houshan to have a look."

"Oh, why did you go to the back mountain again, it's very dangerous there, and there are wild beasts, you must pay attention."

The villagers did not dare to go deep into the back mountain, they were all busy at the foot of the back mountain.

Because there are wild beasts and wolves in the back mountain, villagers used to go to the back mountain, but after being bitten by the prey accidentally, everyone stopped going to the back mountain.

There are too many dangers in the back mountain, and if you accidentally drop something while walking, you will not be able to come back.

When Aunt Yang mentioned Houshan, her face changed, mainly because Su Binglan almost lost her life when she went to Houshan before.

Su Binglan said: "Thank you Aunt Yang, I will pay attention."

"Aunt Yang knows that you are a good boy. These days, you have been going to the town to set up a stall to sell things, and pay attention to your body."

Mrs. Yang is kind-hearted. As Su Binglan's neighbor, she used to help Su Binglan often, and she also sent some delicious food to her.

Su Binglan remembered all these.

"Aunt Yang, what are you doing in the field?"

Speaking of this, Mr. Yang sighed and said, "We ordinary people rely on the sky to eat, and life is better when the weather is good. It's really impossible to do this."

After Yang's departure, Shen Qiuhua and the others also followed and said, "Lan Lan, why are you standing here?"

Su Binglan walked fast and said to go home to cook first, but after they came out, they saw Su Binglan still standing here.

Su Binglan was looking up at the sky and said, "Mother, is it raining, everyone's life will be better."

Shen Qiuhua said: "If it rains, everyone can relax and feel good."

Liu Yinyin also nodded and said, "It's okay for our family to hire people to work. The villagers have to fetch water from far away every day and water the land over and over again, but the water in the river is almost gone."
