Nongmen Space: Farming lady is not easy to mess with

Chapter 26 Arriving at Guluo Town

Yuan County is far away from Fanling City, and it took ten days for the team to arrive at the place Shu Yingtong was looking for.

Guluo Town.

Along the way, the scenery on the roadside has changed from yellow and decayed to occasionally green, and the riverbed has shallow depressions.

Shu Yingtong raised her hand to signal to stop, looking around, there was a vast wasteland surrounded by mountains.

A big river passed by the foot of the mountain in the east, and the dry riverbed was cracked into pieces, and occasionally there were a few small puddles in the lower places, which were so shallow that they could not be submerged in a palm.

Even so, the villagers are very happy, that is the source of water.

After being happy for a while, I started to worry.

They are all people who tend the fields to make a living. Just think about it carefully and you will understand why there are no villages built here because there are mountains and water.

"Here... in the rainy season, it will be completely flooded..."

Old man Zheng sighed, and the villagers agreed one after another.

"There isn't a single field here, it's all gravel wasteland."

"That's right, planting the land is not just about harvesting. The crops can't stand the waterlogging..."

"Girl, shall we choose another place?"

Shu Yingtong's cuff was pulled by Zhu Yu, she regained her thoughts, and quietly listened to the villagers' complaints.The brows slightly raised, and he opened his mouth:
"Do you think the court's cheap is so easy to pick up? I think this place is good, and it can be more than a year after it is treated. Isn't your biggest problem the Jinyang River? It will be treated."

"Ah? Control the river? Let's? What's the use?"

Zhu Yu suddenly felt that the girl was a bit full.

What a weird idea not to farm well and stare at the river.

Isn't the river right there? If it should be flooded, it will be flooded. Who can stop it?
There are still more than a year, and I dare not even think about it.

Shu Yingtong asked without answering, "Did you grab water when you were in Xiuji Village?"

"Snatch it! Let me tell you, when we grab water from the next village, I can knock down five of them by myself!"

When talking about grabbing water, Zhu Yu straightened his waist and looked proud.

There is only one small river in Hideyoshi Village, which is still downstream.Worry when God doesn't reward me.There is no water in the paddy fields, and the crops will not grow well at all.

At this time, basically the whole village is mobilized, carrying hoes and shovels to destroy the dam upstream.In order to divert water to irrigate crops, there were many fights with Wanggu Village, which was intercepted upstream.

"There is no need to grab water from this river. But if it floods, we will suffer disaster and our house will be washed away." The pride on Zhu Yu's face was immediately covered by sorrow.

"I have a way, as long as everyone works hard together. Anyway, you have nothing else to do now, don't you?"

When Shu Yingtong reminded them, everyone suddenly remembered that they had been away from home for more than a month.She took the lead to solve all the difficulties on the road, big and small.

The girl is capable, how can she not support herself and Zhenniang mother and child?
"That's true. Girl, can we really have more than every year as written in the Spring Festival couplets! Well, I have plenty of strength!"

Although Zhu Yu was illiterate, she begged Sun Xiucai in the village to help write Spring Festival couplets every year with red paper.Sun Xiucai couldn't refuse, and he didn't want to bother, so he wrote the same copy to the villagers.

Shu Yingtong's determination and surplus every year ignited the fighting spirit of the villagers.

Who doesn't want to feed and clothe the children in the family, and who doesn't want to earn a family business for future generations?

"Okay! Let's work hard! Make a living!"

Father Huzi clenched his fists and roared, and the villagers responded one after another, and the scene suddenly became lively.

Pepper excitedly tugged on Hu Chunsheng's sleeve, raised his fist and shouted.

Shu Yingtong swept around, raised his hand to signal silence, and after the shouting stopped, he called out to a few people, "Zhu Yu, Mrs. Yao, Uncle Wei, Hu Chunsheng, Xuemei, come and get the job."

"Girl, what work do you assign me?"

"Zhu Yu, you are in charge of staying here and cooking with the children."

"okay!"

When she heard about cooking, Zhu Yu was more active than anyone else.Call all the children under the age of ten and gather around to assign specific tasks.

"Uncle Wei, you know how to make bamboo sticks, right?"

"meeting!"

"Then you get a few more dexterous ones, and they will go into the mountains to cut bamboo and pull vines. I need a lot of sieves, baskets, and baskets."

"it is good!"

After the decision was made, Shu Yingtong ordered Yao to come forward, "Sister-in-law Yao, you will lead some sister-in-laws to cut ramie, hemp and kudzu at the foot of the mountain."

Yao took a few women and collected tools, but found that the sickle was not enough.Just when he was about to use a kitchen knife as the second best option, Shu Yingtong silently took out three new sickles from the bottom of the cart and sent them to Shuaner.

Mrs. Yao accepted it happily, and a small group of women walked out of the group one after another with a shoulder pole, heading north towards the foot of the mountain.

"Hu Chunsheng, take some strong ones with you. Go to the mountain to cut wood. First build a row of sheds to live in."

"But, I..."

"I don't know who to turn to, go ask Zhu Yu."

"Okay, I see. But all I have is a big saw..."

Shu Yingtong bent down and pulled out a big saw from the bottom of the cart.Shuan'er rushed to take it and sent it to Hu Chunsheng with a big saw.

When he came back, he squatted down excitedly to see what else was hidden in the scooter.

Shu Yingtong silently carried him out, took out a handful of jelly beans from the bag and stuffed them into his pocket, "Go and play."

Shuan'er, who got the jelly beans, immediately forgot what he was going to do, happily grabbed a few and put them in Zhenniang's hands, and went to share the jelly beans with his friends.

"Girl, am I following you?"

Except for the scars left on her face and body, Xuemei has fully recovered.

People in the village didn't think the scar on her face was an eyesore after watching her for a long time.

Xuemei let go of her grievances, and slowly helped Shu Yingtong distribute some things, her mind became more mature and stable than before.

Most of the time, Shu Yingtong is also willing to discuss some decisions with her.

I even think that if she can read and write, it can help her share more things.

Not only Xuemei, Shu Yingtong felt that everyone in the village should be literate, especially the younger generation.

"Yes, we will take a few sisters up the mountain to collect food and medicinal materials in a while."

As he spoke, he took out three small hoes and two small claw rakes from the bottom of the cart one after another.

Xuemei led the four girls to Shu Yingtong and was about to set off when Pepper hurriedly caught up with a pickaxe.

"Oh, why don't you take me? I'm going too!"

"I left you behind. It's not easy to embroider if you have thick hands doing farm work~" Xuemei laughed and patted Pepper on the shoulder as a joke.

It's not that I really forgot, the main reason is that the girl in this town can read and write and can embroider, so she is really beautiful.

When I have time, I teach everyone how to do acupuncture, which is very generous.

I guessed that she was probably not used to farm work, so I didn't have the nerve to call her up.

"It's okay, I don't have any flowers to embroider now anyway. I want to learn from you, don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble!"

Pepper Yang raised the pickaxe in his hand, smiling generously.

"Okay, let's go together."

Shu Yingtong waved to her, and Pepper happily walked side by side with Qiuyan at the end.

"Xuemei, sometimes what you think of as protection is isolation to her. It's like you don't want everyone to treat you special."

"Ah~ So I was thinking about it, don't worry girl, I will remember."

Xuemei felt a little sorry, and quietly turned her head to look at Pepper who was chatting quietly with Qiuyan.

Shu Yingtong nodded and stopped preaching. Some people can understand a little bit, so there is no need to say more.
