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

Shu Wanniang said: "Auntie, let Xiulan stay home to take care of the children, I'll go." Seeing that she wanted to object, she smiled slightly and said, "I feel uneasy about staying at home, and I don't know if there will be water grabbing. After all, I am an adult, so I am more useful than Xiulan."

The aunt stopped talking immediately, nodded and said: "That's fine." She looked at them sternly and said, "If someone grabs water, don't argue with them, let alone fight with them, you understand?"

My aunt mainly focused on A Ling, and said: "A Ling, Auntie knows that you are powerful, but you are no match for four legs. You still have to protect us, let alone their opponents. Anyway, I forbid you Because of grabbing water and fighting with people, I would rather you go home first, even if the wheat is not watered, it’s okay.”

Ma Liu's son got into a dispute with the landlord's son because of Ma Youcai's grabbing water. When he went home, he got into a fight with his brothers to seek justice. When the fight broke out, Ma Youcai hid behind him and pushed Ma Fugui away. When the landlord's son went out with a hoe, Ma Fugui fell down. The daughter-in-law who went to see the situation hurriedly stepped forward to stop those people from doing four things, but was beaten indiscriminately, and gave birth to a child with difficulty. The baby boy died.

The child died after only half a day. This is the saddest memory for Ma Liu, and it also made her full of vigilance and fear about the water grabbing. But no matter how wary they were, they had to irrigate the fields at home. , otherwise their crops would not be harvested.

Shu Wanniang also followed because she knew the danger. After all, she was an adult, so even if she had little strength, she could at least say a few words when conflicts occurred.

Early the next morning, the four of them picked up buckets and went to the east. Ma Liu said, "Ah Ling, go and dig the hole leading to the rice field, let the water flow into the rice field, don't open too much, and be careful not to damage it." Rice."

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

Because the thirteen mu of high-quality land was facing the river, Mu Yangling let the water flow into the rice field without much effort, and then went to water the wheat field with his aunt and the others.

Not to mention Shu Wanniang and Xiuhong, even my aunt and Mu Yangling couldn't stand carrying water like this uninterruptedly.

The shoulders will be sore. Even if Mu Yangling is strong and doesn't feel tired, the shoulders will definitely hurt after being squeezed for such a long time.

This is still the wheat field on this side, and the one to the south is bigger, and there are only ditches dug there, but no river.

Mu Yangling looked up at the large wheat field, his eyes darkened, "Auntie, take a rest, I'll come."

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

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

"No," Shu Wanniang gasped, "Your shoulders are still tender. Carrying water is different than carrying things. You and Xiuhong should stop for a while, or you won't grow taller in the future."

"Mother, 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 with my shoulders. I'll take it with my hands so that it won't be pressed on my shoulders. If I can't press my shoulders, I have great strength. Now, it doesn’t matter if you run all day.”

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

Mu Yangling carried two buckets to carry water to water them, and it was able to supply them, and he could take a rest 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 but think that it would be great if there was a water pipe, and the water would be pumped up directly, and they squeezed the water pipe to pour a large area.

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

Every family has to start watering the wheat fields. The river is only so long, so there will inevitably be some friction when passing by. It’s better if some people dislike the people in front of them for carrying water too slowly, or some people just pass through other people’s wheat fields in a hurry. It was big, and it exploded all at once.

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

My aunt is not surprised by this, such things happen every year when rushing to harvest or grab water, and Mu Yangling and the others will look up at the beginning, and even if the quarrel happens not far from them in the end, they will Can pass them without looking sideways.

The water level of the river began to drop. Mu Yangling and the others had already watered all the wheat in the east, leaving only the wheat in the south. At this time, the phenomenon of grabbing water also occurred from time to time. Even in this village, there have been two fights incident, not to mention the disputes with the neighboring villages,

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, "Is the drought so severe?"

The General Banner who was following Qi Haoran knew the situation, and said, "Little General, the wheat and rice are about to start earing. During this period, we need a certain amount of water, so everyone is in such a hurry. If it rains next, it will be fine. 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 enough water in the river by then, and if there is enough water, the conflict will be even bigger.”

"That's right, there is still enough water in the river, but the fights are just because of priority and convenience. Next time, if there is not enough water in the river, don't fight more fiercely? Don't look at these farmers who are usually honest, but they can work hard for the crops in the field. I heard that many people were beaten to death for grabbing water in previous years."

Qi Haoran went down to the field with a sullen face to check the situation. After walking around, he didn't find Mu Yangling, so he turned to the south.

Fan Zijin was also shocked, Qi Haoran said in a low voice: "Fortunately, we dug the reservoirs and canals before the beginning of spring, Haoran, if it doesn't rain again 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 both hands in his hands, brought it to Shu Wanniang, picked up another pair of wooden barrels and turned to fetch water from the ditch.

At this time, Mu Yangling couldn't help but be thankful that Qi Haoran was asked to dig the canal from her family's field. Although it took up a lot of land, it also showed convenience at this time.

Needless to say, the wheat fields in the east were close to the river, and the canal was dug through the middle of the inferior land, so she didn't use that canal, but on the south side, her family was able to move so fast because of this canal.

The canal flows through their land, and it took her the shortest time to fetch water in the past. Therefore, although their family is small, the speed is not slow. In addition, the land is relatively small compared to other families, so it is almost watering now. It's over.

Mu Yangling wanted to water the cornfield as well, but Ma Liu felt that there was no need to be in such a hurry, and said: "Let everyone rest for two days, let's slow down first, I look at the corn and I am still very energetic, so don't worry. "
