Their Lucky Star Was Transmigrated!

"Daughter-in-law, there may be a severe drought this year!"

Mr. Xu looked nervously at Mrs. Xu, "These days, it's always been thunder and no rain, and every time the clouds dissipate, the sky is bluer and the sun is more poisonous!"

"Do you remember the year when you were the third child?"

"That year's drought was like this, it was dry and thunderous all day without rain!"

"Also, it's hot during the day but not stuffy, and cool at night. Isn't that what the old people often say, 'The day is warm and the night is cold, and the sea is dry'?"

Mr. Xu simply stated his guess, "I'm thinking, our family has to prepare early."

Today's old Xu family is not short of money.

But in the year of disaster, it is not because you have money in your hand, you can live a better life.

Without food, even if there is gold and silver at home, it is inevitable that one will starve to death.

Of course, Lingshui Village relies on the Peach Blossom River, and there are older streams flowing from the mountains, so there is no shortage of water. But the problem is that there is no shortage of water. If you want to irrigate those fields by manually fetching water, even if you are exhausted, it is impossible to take care of all the fields.

As long as it is a drought year, the food production in the village will be reduced on a large scale.

But the old Xu family is different now.

The family is strong, and there are four little girls bought, all of whom have to eat.

"What are you preparing for? Are you buying food?"

Mrs. Xu looked at Mr. Xu, "Besides, this drought is just your guess. Whether it is true or not, I still don't know!"

"I have a feeling that there is really going to be a drought!"

Although Mr. Xu has no evidence that his guess will come true, years of experience tell him that there is a high probability of a severe drought this year.

"I thought about it. It's one aspect of our family's grain storage. It's another aspect to find a way to water the grain in the fields."

"I'm going to take the money and get a waterwheel by the Peach Blossom River."

"Then have people hit some more wooden pipes for water."

"How much money does this cost?"

Mrs. Xu glanced at Mr. Xu. Although she didn't know the exact price of these things, if it was just a small amount of money, Mr. Xu would not come to discuss it with her.

"do not know!"

Mr. Xu sighed, "No one has done it before, so it's really hard to say how much it will cost."

"It's up to you, anyway, we should not be short of money now!"

Mrs. Xu would not argue with Mr. Xu on this matter.

After all, you have to spend money, it is money. If you always keep it in your hands, then this thing actually has no effect.

"Then it's settled! Take precautions before it happens!"

Mr. Xu turned around and walked out, "I'll go to Guan Laoqi and discuss with him to see if anyone in the village is willing to pay together."

When the waterwheel is built, it is much more convenient to water the ground.

Because, relying on the waterwheel to draw water, and transporting it out through the official road, even if it cannot be sent to the ground, it saves a lot of time running the river to fetch water.

In the years of severe drought, when carrying water and irrigating the land, time and energy are mainly wasted on the way to carry water.

But with waterwheels and water pipes, this time and effort is saved, which buys time for more fields to be watered.

Although there is no actual evidence to prove that there will be a severe drought, at this time, Mr. Xu would rather believe it than not believe it.

Of course, he had to go to the county town tomorrow to tell his fourth brother Zuoqiu about the news of the drought.
