Chapter 186： grab water

  Bowen looked at her sister anxiously, Mu Yangling touched his head and said, "It has nothing to do with you, you just need to study hard, come back early after school to take your brothers and sisters."

Shu Wanniang said: "Auntie, let Xiulan stay at home to look after the child, I'll go." Seeing that she was going to object, she smiled slightly: "I feel uneasy about staying at home, and I don't know if there will be any water grabs. I'm an adult after all, so I'm better than Xiulan."

Auntie stopped talking, nodded and said, "Alright." She looked at them sternly and said, "If someone grabs water, don't argue with them, let alone fight them, you know?"

Auntie mainly put her eyes on A Ling and said, "A Ling, my aunt knows that you are powerful, but you can't beat your four legs. You have to protect us, let alone their opponent. In short, I will not allow you Because of fighting for water and people, I would rather you go home first, even if you don't water the wheat, it's fine."

Ma Liu's son had a dispute over Ma Youcai and the landlord's son over water. He went home and struggled with several brothers to seek justice together. When the fight broke out, Ma Youcai hid behind and pushed Ma Fugui away. Going out, the landlord's son went down with a hoe, and Ma Fugui fell. The daughter-in-law who went to see the situation saw that she had rushed forward to stop those people from making four moves, but was beaten indiscriminately, and it was difficult to give birth to another one. The baby boy died.

The child died after only half a day. This is the saddest memory for Mrs. Ma Liu. It also made her full of vigilance and fear about the water grab, but no matter how vigilant and fearful, they would have to irrigate the fields at home. , otherwise their crops would not be harvested.

Shu Wanniang is precisely because she knows the danger, so she wants to follow. She is an adult after all, even if she is not strong, she can say a few words when there is a conflict.

Early the next morning, the four of them picked a bucket and went to the east. Mrs. Ma Liu said, "A-Ling, go and dig the opening leading to the rice field and let the water flow into the rice field. Don't open it too much, be careful to damage it. Rice."

Mu Yangling won, while Ma Liu took Shu Wanniang and Xiuhong to fetch water to irrigate the wheat.

Because the 13 acres of high-quality land just faced the river, Mu Yangling did not have much effort to let the water flow into the rice field, and then went to carry water with his aunt and the others to irrigate the wheat field.

This kind of uninterrupted water fetching, let alone Shu Wanniang and Xiuhong, even my aunt and Mu Yangling couldn't stand it.

Shoulders will be sore, even if Mu Yangling doesn't feel tired because of his strength, his shoulders will definitely hurt after being squeezed for such a long time.

This is still the wheat field here, the bigger one in the south, and there is only a dug canal, but no river.

Mu Yangling looked up at this large wheat field, and couldn't help but darken his eyes, "Auntie, rest for a while, I'll come."

Auntie rubbed her shoulders and motioned her to look up, "Look, every household has started to carry water, and the river will go down in a few days." The village must have started to carry water for watering. This river comes from the water in Jialing and has never been used.

Mu Yangling thought for a while and said, "Auntie, why don't I bring water to you to pour it over, so that you can both rest and go faster."

"No," Shu Wanniang panted, "your shoulders are still tender, it's different to carry things like this. You and Xiuhong should stop for a while, or you won't grow taller in the future."

"Mom, don't worry," Mu Yangling said with a smile, "I've already thought about it just now, I don't need to pick it up by my shoulders, I'll take it with my hands, so that I won't press my shoulders, I can't press my shoulders, I'm strong. Well, it doesn't matter if you run for a whole day."

Mu Yangling didn't feel tired when he was carrying water, but he felt that the pressure on his shoulders hurt. Once this problem was solved, it would be much easier.

Mu Yangling carried two buckets to bring water over to them to water them, and he was able to supply them, and he could rest for a while from time to time, so the speed would be faster.

Mu Yangling looked at the distance between the river bank and their wheat fields, and couldn't help thinking that it would be great if there was a water pipe.

But this is just a thought, where did Mu Yangling go to find a water pipe for a while?

Every household has to start watering the wheat fields. The river is only so long, and it is inevitable that there will be some friction when going back and forth. It is better for some people to dislike the people in front of them being too slow to carry water, or for some people to directly pass through other people’s wheat fields in a hurry. Everyone is angry. It was big, and it exploded at once.

Fortunately, this is only the first day. Although there are some disputes, it has not yet reached the point of hands-on.

My aunt is not surprised by this. This kind of thing happens every year when they are rushing to harvest seeds or water, and Mu Yangling will look up at the beginning. In the end, even if the quarrel happened not far away from them, they would still be there. You can walk past them without squinting.

The water level of the river began to drop. Mu Yangling and the others had already irrigated all the wheat in the east, leaving only the one in the south. At this time, the phenomenon of rushing for water also occurred from time to time. Even in this village, two fights had already occurred. events, not to mention disputes with several villages next door,

When Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin heard the news and rushed over, what they saw was the scene of the fields in full swing.

Qi Haoran frowned and asked, "How serious is the drought?"

The general flag behind Qi Haoran knew the situation and said: "Little General, the wheat and rice are going to head, and a certain amount of water is needed during this time, so everyone is so anxious. It will be fine if it rains next. If it doesn’t go down, it will definitely have to be watered again when the grouting is done, but I don’t know if there will be water in the river by then, and whether it will be enough, and if it is not enough, then the conflict will be even greater.”

"Yeah, there is enough water in the river now, but the fight is just because of convenience and convenience. Next time, if the river is not enough, we must not fight more fiercely? Don't look at these farmers who are usually honest, and they can work hard for the crops in the fields. I heard that a lot of people have been killed in order to grab water in previous years.”

Qi Haoran went down to the field to see the situation with a sullen face. He walked around and didn't find Mu Yangling, and went to the south as soon as he turned around.

Fan Zijin was also shocked, Qi Haoran whispered: "Fortunately, we dug reservoirs and canals before the beginning of the spring. Haoran, if it doesn't rain in half a month, you can send troops to guard the three reservoirs, which can save lives at critical times."

Qi Haoran nodded: "I know."

Mu Yangling walked quickly in the wheat field with two hands in hand, brought it to Shu Wanniang, picked up another pair of wooden barrels and turned to go to the canal to fetch water.

At this time, Mu Yangling couldn't help but feel fortunate that Qi Haoran was able to dig the canal from her home. Although it took up a lot of land, it was also convenient at this time.

Needless to say, the wheat field in the east, because it is near the river, the canal is dug from the middle of the inferior land, so she did not use that canal, but on the south side, her family can be so fast because of this canal.

The water channel flows through their land. She used to spend the shortest time fetching water there. Therefore, although their family is small, the speed is not slow. In addition, the land is relatively small compared to other homes, so it is almost watering now. Done.

Mu Yangling wanted to water the cornfield as well, but Ma Liu felt that there was no need to hurry, and said: "Let everyone rest for two days, let's relax first, I look at the corn and I'm still in good spirits, so don't worry. "
