Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 220 Proposal

An Yue explained patiently.

After hearing this, Chunzhi nodded, not quite understanding, "I see. So what materials do we need to prepare?"

An Yue was eating while thinking: "Well... the materials are enough now, and this is my first attempt to make it. I will have to wait a few more days to know whether it can be done!"

Chunzhi had always been curious about this question, so she finally asked, "Miss, how do you know these things?"

"Hey! This is a coincidence. I had a high fever for several days and almost died."

"But during the days I was comatose, I dreamed of a hermit who gave me some pointers. Now, I have so many memories in my mind out of nowhere." An Yue said without blushing or panicking.

After hearing this, Chunzhi was completely shocked.

An Yue was eating by herself and saw Chunzhi not moving.

She raised her hand that was holding the food, waved it in front of Chunzhi's eyes, and shouted, "Why are you distracted?"

Chunzhi asked excitedly: "Miss, is what you just said true?"

An Yue chewed some food and nodded: "Of course it's true."

"It would be great if Chunzhi could get some advice from an expert." Chunzhi muttered discouragedly as he looked at the rice in his bowl.

An Yue comforted Chun Zhi and said, "This kind of thing requires a chance. Not everyone can get it just by wanting the favor of the gods. Don't you think so?"

"What the young lady said is true! If everyone could be enlightened by a master, there would be no more suffering in the world."

An Yue picked up a piece of food for Chunzhi with chopsticks and said to her with a smile: "Well, Chunzhi still understands this principle."

"Oh, by the way, Chunzhi, when we wake up from our nap, you can carry water from the well and go water the wheat field."

"Miss, we still don't know where the spring branches of our wheat field are."

"Then I'll take you there, and you'll know next time."

"Okay, miss."

After a while, the two had lunch.

They were doing the same thing as usual, Chunzhi was washing the dishes and Anyue was cleaning the kitchen.

Then, they went to the east ear room to feed the silkworms, and then returned to their respective rooms to lie down for a nap.

An Yue lay on the bed, fanning herself, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

She thought carefully and realized that the last time it rained was before her brother Anqing's wedding. It was still the first month of the year, and it had been three months since then.

An Yue wanted to go to the village chief's house in the afternoon and persuade him to organize the men in the village to dig a few more deep wells in the village.

The water in the paddy fields is now almost dry. If things continue like this, the villagers will have trouble getting water in less than half a month.

As An Yue was thinking, she fell asleep without realizing it.

——Three quarters of an hour passed.

An Yue and Chun Zhi both woke up naturally and washed their faces to wake themselves up.

Chunzhi started to go to the kitchen to get the wooden barrel and shoulder pole, while Anyue took the backpack and sickle.

She turned to Chunzhi and said, "Chunzhi, you should carry two buckets of water first and water the vegetables in the black soil."

"I'll go to the west slope and cut some banana leaves. Then we'll go to the old house and get some wood ash to fertilize the wheat."

"Okay, miss." Chunzhi said, and then she walked towards the well carrying the bucket.

An Yue carried a backpack and a sickle and walked towards the western slope.

After a while, An Yue cut some banana leaves to pad her backpack, filled the backpack with wood ash in the old house, and Chunzhi also watered the vegetables in the black soil.

Chunzhi carried two buckets of water, Anyue carried a basin of water, and a basket of wood ash on their backs, and they walked straight towards the yellow earth.

Come to the yellow earth.

The wheat I saw this time was already green.

An Yue grabbed some wood ash and gently placed it three to five inches away from the roots of the wheat. Chunzhi then watered the wheat along the roots.

In this way, the wood ash in An Yue's backpack was soon used up.

After spreading the wood ash, An Yue squatted in the wheat field to cut grass for pigs.

Chunzhi carried water from the well to the wheat field. After Anyue had cut a basket full of pig grass, she quickly walked out of the wheat field and said to Chunzhi:

"Haruji, can you water the plants here by yourself? I have to go to the village chief's house."

Chunzhi carried the water she had brought, bent down to water the ground and said, "Don't worry, Miss! Chunzhi is fine."

As An Yue carried the pig grass on her back, she also reminded him, "Chunzhi, if you are tired, go home and take a rest."

"Okay, miss, go ahead and get busy!" Chunzhi looked up and smiled at An Yue, then continued to bend down to water the ground.

An Yue carried pig feed on her back and walked towards the village chief's house.

Along the way, An Yue discovered that the wheat fields on high ground had already curled up their leaves at noon.

Soon, An Yue arrived at the door of the village chief's house.

dong dong dong.

"Who is it?" I knew it was Qin's voice as soon as I heard it.

"Aunt, I'm Yueyue."

The door was opened, and Qin said with a smile: "Yueyue, are you passing by to pick grass for pigs?"

"Aunt, Yueyue is going to work in the wheat field. Cut a basket of pig grass while you're at it."

"Quickly put the backpack under the eaves and come in to drink some water." Qin smiled and poured water for An Yue.

"Aunt, is Uncle at home?"

Qin poured a bowl of water and handed it to An Yue, and said softly to An Yue: "Your uncle went out early in the morning."

An Yue picked up the bowl, gulped down a few sips, and continued to ask: "Did Uncle say when he will be back? Yue Yue wants to discuss something with Uncle."

"I don't know yet about this aunt, but what does Yueyue want to talk to him about? Just talk to the aunt briefly and see if she can help."

"This matter concerns the whole village."

"Aunt, our Baili Village hasn't had a drop of rain for three consecutive months. The paddy fields in the village are almost dry."

Qin smiled disapprovingly and said, "Yueyue, our Baili Village has had this kind of situation before. It is common for it not to rain for three or two months, but there has never been a drought."

"Aunt, this time is different. Go and take a look at those terraces. Some of them have started to dry up and the water in the paddy fields has gradually run dry."

"Yueyue thinks so. Now the villagers are almost busy with farm work. Uncle can organize manpower and dig a few deep wells in the village to prepare for emergencies."

After An Yue finished speaking, she picked up the bowl and drank water.

After drinking the water in the bowl, she put down the bowl, lowered her head and said, "Actually! This matter has nothing to do with Yueyue. Yueyue's family already has a deep well, so there is naturally nothing to worry about."

An Yue paused, then continued, "But if we encounter a drought that happens only once in decades, we have to have a plan to deal with it, right?"

Qin turned her head and looked outside the yard, with a thoughtful look on her face.

She nodded in affirmation: "What Yueyue said does make sense. It is better to prepare in advance than to panic when the time comes."

"But digging a deep well involves many households in the village, so we need to discuss and decide with the villagers."
