Chapter 1379 Lack of water

"I hope it will rain a few times in the next month as the old man in the village said, otherwise the food in the village will die from drought." Lu Xiaoxiao said worriedly.

"It will definitely rain. The old people in the village eat more salt than we eat. What they say is definitely right."

"Um."

"Xiaoxiao, are you going to cut pig grass this afternoon?" Liu Ermei asked Lu Xiaoxiao.

"No, the sun is too strong."

"I plan to go cut two baskets of hogweed again in the afternoon. Since you won't go, I'll go home and get the basket to cut hogweed now."

"good."

Lu Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen to make soup after Liu Ermei left. Yesterday she told her masters that she would give them the specialties she brought back from Yun Province today, so she would make a pot of soup with mushrooms and send it to them.

At 7:30 in the evening, after Lu Xiaoxiao packed the cooked food in a basin, she carried the basket and walked towards the cowshed.

When Lu Xiaoxiao came to the door of the cowshed, she saw the captain walking out of the cowshed, so she immediately ducked behind a tree to hide.

She waited for the captain to go away before walking out from behind the tree, and then quickly walked towards the cowshed. She wanted to know what the captain was doing in the cowshed.

"Xiao Yatou, you're here, haven't you met the captain?" Mr. Fan asked Lu Xiaoxiao after seeing Lu Xiaoxiao walking into the house.

"No, but I saw the captain leaving the bullpen."

"It's good that we didn't run into each other."

"Master, what is the captain doing in the bullpen?"

"We didn't do anything. He just asked us to take good care of the cows. It hasn't rained in the past month. The fields have begun to lack water. If it doesn't rain in a week, the captain will let the cows pull water. So the captain asked us

Feed the cows well during this period, otherwise he is afraid that the cows will be too tired to bear the burden."

"Master, do you think it will rain in the next week?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked after listening to what Mr. Fan said.

"I don't know, but judging from the current situation, it's a bit uncertain."

"If it doesn't rain in the next week, the crops in the fields will probably start to dry up. Just relying on the people in the village to fetch water will not solve the problem at all. What's more, the water pressure in the river cannot withstand the people in the village.

"Tiao, there is only one river in these ten miles and eight villages. If every village goes to the river to fetch water to irrigate their fields, the water in the river will dry up in less than a week."

"There is nothing we can do about it. Farming depends on the weather."

"Little girl Xiao, this is not something you should be concerned about. If it doesn't rain in the next week, the captain will definitely find a way to solve it." Foreman Xie said to Lu Xiaoxiao after seeing Lu Xiaoxiao's helpless appearance.

"Foreman Xie is right, this is not something you, a child, have to consider." Professor Zhang agreed after hearing what Foreman Xie said.

"I know that even if I want to help, I can't do anything because I don't have the ability to make it rain. Now I can only pray silently in my heart that God will rain soon, otherwise everyone's life will be miserable in the next half year.

It’s not easy.”

After hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words, Mr. Fan and others prayed to God for a rain soon. In recent years, everyone's life has been better, and they don't like to see everyone go back to the hard life before.

Lu Xiaoxiao saw that Mr. Fan and the others became sad because of her words, and she felt uncomfortable immediately, so she immediately took out the soup from the basket, and then she said to Mr. Fan and the others: "Masters, today

I've made chicken soup for you, come here and drink it, otherwise it will get cold in a while."
