Chapter 1755 Water delivered
In this way, when the morning arrives, it is just the time when the villagers get up and work, so that they can use water easily, and they do not have to crowd with the people of Lihua Village.
At this time, Peng Dazhi, Lizheng of Pengjia Village, looked at the high-yield grain in the field and kept sighing.
There is a lot of water in their village, and the daily water is enough for them to water their crops.
But the water level of the well has dropped drastically these days, so I guess it won't last long.
This precious and high-yielding grain is probably just left to fend for itself, which is really a pity.
Peng Jilai stayed by Peng Dazhi's side all the time, and he knew what he was thinking, so he comforted: "Dad, relax, anyway, it's not that our family's high-yield grain will wither by then, the big deal is to start all over again next year. "
"Isn't the eldest brother still working smoothly in Lihua Village? When the second brother recruited people for the second time in Lihua Village, it has passed. With their wages, we will not be too sad this year. Harvest, the big deal is that we buy food."
"Alas." Peng Dazhi sighed: "I know that their money is enough for us to live through the second half of the year, and even allow us to live a better life than when there was no drought before, but I just feel it is a pity. It took so much effort to buy this high-yielding seed, but I didn’t expect to encounter a drought, and I wanted to see if I could grow a thousand kilograms of grain per mu.”
"Daddy..."
Peng Jilai was about to speak when he saw his nephew Peng Zike running over anxiously, out of breath and said: "Ah... Grandpa, Third Uncle, Youshi... Soldiers are here."
As the grandson of Lizheng, Peng Zike could have gone to the future academy to study, but Peng Zike is very sensible, knowing that he is young now and his family has no money, so he wants to study a year later, and Lizheng can also read. , I could teach him some things at home, so I didn't go to the Future Academy for the time being.
Peng Dazhi said in shock: "The soldiers are here? Are they here to ask for taxes? Or does the road need to be repaired again?"
It's no wonder that the first thing he thought of was taxation and corvée. Although it wasn't the autumn harvest, the court was fighting, and it was fighting with two countries at the same time.
And in their poor mountain village, every time soldiers come, it's basically because of money and corvée.
Peng Zike said: "No, they are here to deliver water, just wait for you to go and divide the water."
"What? Dividing the water?" Peng Jilai said stunned: "The soldiers brought water? Is it true?"
There is such a good thing in the world?
Peng Zike's breath was a little smoother at this time, and he said excitedly: "It's true, they are at our door now, and ten carriages have come, each carriage is a carriage of two horses, and all the carriages are full of horses. It's a big wooden bucket taller than an adult, and it's full of water. A-niang, she also came to inform you, because I have fast legs and I'm one step ahead of her, you look behind me, she also ran over. "
Peng Dazhi turned his head to look, and saw his daughter-in-law running over excitedly, and hurriedly asked, "Are there really soldiers who brought us water?"
Peng Zike's aunt said: "It's true, there's a lot of water. I think that with the water from our well in our village, our crops will be saved in the future."
Hearing that the crops were saved, the gloom on Peng Dazhi's face was instantly swept away.
