Dressed as a farmer group pet

Chapter 181 181 The ground is thirsty
The sun is good today, Jiang Hu deliberately chose such a warm day to go up the mountain, hoping that when digging lotus roots, it will not be too cold.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, the small pool on the mountain has dried up and there is no water left.

"Daddy, how far is it?" Tie Dan couldn't move anymore.

Jiang Hu was leading the way with a hoe on his shoulder, but he slowed down when he heard this: "Do you want Daddy to carry it?"

Tie Dan's eyes lit up immediately: "Yes!"

The answer was decisive, and even the steps were fast, and he ran to Dad in a few steps, and opened his arms to carry it.

Jiang Hu shook his head helplessly, and put the hoe aside: "Er Niang, you can pick it up later."

Er Niang walked at the end with a basket on her back, watching the children so that no one would be left behind.

Qixi also followed, but she kept walking beside her young master, afraid that he would get tired or fall down.

Er Niang responded, then looked down at Xiaomi who was pulling her all the time: "Is Xiaomi tired? Do you want to recite it?"

Xiaomi shook his head: "I'm not tired, I'll go by myself."

Xiaoxue and Liu Ze walked a little ahead, passed by Jiang Hu's hoe, and Qixi next to him carried it directly.

Erniang asked again: "I've been looking around all the way, what's wrong? Did you see anything?"

If it was normal, she would have skipped and ran to the front, but today she has been following her, looking around.

Erniang even felt that the child was holding her all the time to avoid falling while walking.

If Xiaomi knew what was going on in Niangqin's heart, she would definitely call out to those who knew me, Niangqin too!
"Mother, why are there no mushrooms on the ground?"

Xiaomi blinked her big innocent eyes.

"It's not raining again, where did you get the mushrooms?" Er Niang didn't pay attention at first, but she searched the surroundings, her brows slightly frowned.

It is normal for the grass and trees to turn yellow in winter, but there is still water vapor in the soil, and the dead leaves in winter need to be sun-dried before they can be stored.

The same is true for the mushrooms that Xiaomi said, because the ground is wet, so many small mushrooms will grow, especially some small mushrooms that cannot be eaten, which grow quite well.

But now, I kicked away the thick dead leaves under my feet, it was dry, and there was no moisture at all, let alone the little mushrooms.

"Brother Hu." Er Niang called out.

With Tiedan on his back, Jiang Hu, who was laughing and making noise, stopped and turned around: "What's wrong?"

Erniang kicked the dead branches and rotten leaves on the ground: "Look, it's so dry, there's no moisture at all."

For a whole month and a half, not a single drop of rain fell, so where did the moisture come from?

Jiang Hu frowned slightly, and then let go: "Forget it, let's not talk about that today, let's dig the lotus root first, the lotus root seeds can be stored for a long time, don't worry."

A well was drilled in the backyard of their house, which was quite deep, and the water level was not low, which made Jiang Hu not so worried.

Liu Ze was always between the two of them, so he could naturally hear them talking.

"Uncle Jiang, Auntie, don't worry too much. Even if there is a drought, it won't last long. Besides, Mr. Xie has already planted a lot of sorghum near the county town."

"There is a large lake near Chengxian County with a lot of water. The sorghum planted will definitely not be bad, and the harvest will not be too low."

Jiang Hu and the others really didn't know what Liu Ze said, so they were very surprised.

Jiang Hu: "Ozawa, how do you know so much? Aren't you always in the village?"

Liu Ze smiled embarrassedly: "I have correspondence with my father and mother, and my father told me these things."

Jiang Hu suddenly realized: "Yes, I forgot, your parents are doing business in the county."

Liu Ze pursed his lips and smiled lightly, but did not refute.

Jiang Hu was also relieved a lot: "Great, I was worried that the news would not reach Mr. Xie. It seems that Brother Zhang still helped."

Since he told Zhang Hu about this a month ago, he hasn't gone to see Zhang Hu, so he doesn't know if Zhang Hu has sent a letter to Mr. Xie.

Now it seems that it is indeed a letter.

Liu Ze explained with a smile: "Uncle Jiang is different from others. Officer Zhang and Mr. Xie will definitely take what Uncle Jiang said to heart."

Xiaomi stroked his chin and glanced at Liu Ze. He felt that this Liu Ze didn't look like a simple seven-year-old child. He knew too much, didn't he?

If this matter were left to the eldest brother and second sister, no one would be able to think so clearly.

However, Jiang Hu Erniang didn't notice Xiaomi's muttering, and they relaxed a lot after listening to Liu Ze's explanation.

After climbing over a mountain, we soon arrived at the edge of the pool. The terrain of the pool was neither high nor low, and it was just a little bit lower on the mountainside.

Put down the iron egg, walked in and took a look, Jiang Hu raised his eyebrows: "The water here hasn't dropped at all!"

Immediately afterwards, I was overjoyed: "There must be a spring under this pool, and it is not the same water source as the river in the village, otherwise there will be no change at all!"

After a few words, other people also gathered around.

Tie Dan was the first to shout: "Yuyu, there are so many little fish."

Take a closer look, it's not that kind of small fish, a group of them.

Jiang Hu patted Tie Dan's little head: "This fish swims too fast, it's hard to catch, let's dig the lotus root first."

The lotus leaves were all withered, broken and floating on the water, but the lotus pods were still standing. Jiang Hu put on custom-made leather water boots, like trousers, up to waist height.

When entering the water, Er Niang warned: "Brother Hu, be careful, the water is so cold."

They didn't expect that the water level was still so high. In this winter, it really takes enough courage to go into the water.

Jiang Hu waved his hand: "It's okay, not much, it will be fine soon."

Going into the water with a hoe, first picked dry lotus pods, a dozen or so, can get a lot of seeds.

This pool is not big or small, at least one side of the pool is very deep. Although it is crystal clear, it is the kind that makes people feel horrified.

Fortunately, on the side where the lotus root grows, the water level only reaches Jiang Hu's waist, which is only about two inches shorter than his leather water boots.

The sleeves were pulled up high with arm ropes, and the dried lotus leaves were pulled out and thrown aside first, so as not to block the view.

Of course, Jiang Hu would not go directly into the water and dig out the lotus roots with his hands. Instead, he used a hoe to dig out the lotus roots bit by bit, just like digging the ground.

Fortunately, there is very little silt in the pool, and half of the lotus roots are exposed in the water. You can see where there is and where there is no.

The lotus root is hollow, as long as the roots are cut off, it will float on its own, so there is no need to worry about it.

But even with water boots, it is still quite cold to be soaked in the water like this, and when using a hoe, a part of the arm will inevitably be soaked in the water.

Erniang looked distressed, and hurriedly directed several children to work, cleared an open space next to the pool, and then built a fire, so that Jiang Hu could warm up by the fire as soon as he landed.
