Chapter 115 Irrigation Problems

Take the top student Xiaowu at home for example. They were born together, but he is exceptionally smart and wise, thoughtful, sensitive and suspicious. It may not be easy to win him back in a short time.

When she said pine needles were fat just now, the boy stared at her with a puzzled look, as if he had to see flowers on her face.

When it comes to this, Bai Yunxi chuckled silently. What's the matter with being smart and wise?

After all, he is still a young boy who has not participated in social experience. If he wants to get an advantage in front of her, he is still a little short of fire.

After a short rest, Bai Yunxi went to carry another basket of pine needles, and Mrs. Du brought lunch.

Behind her, the little girl Yaya followed.

"Mom, it's time to eat."

"Hey~, you've worked hard." Cooking for the whole family and cleaning the house by yourself is actually not easy at all.

"Compared to my second brother and them, my wife is not tired. "

Mrs. Du put down her shoulder pole, spread a few banana leaves on a flat surface, quickly arranged the food, and called a few people to come and eat.

The family members all did manual labor. Although Mrs. Du was stingy, she cooked well. The food tasted good and varied. She ate pancakes and brown rice alternately.

Even the dishes had more oil and water than before.

According to her instructions, a boiled egg was added to each person's breakfast every day to increase nutrition and strength to work.

Only when you are full can you work hard.

After dinner, Bai Yunxi was playing finger twirling with Yaya when she saw Bai Anyan carrying two baskets up the mountain.

"Anyan, take a break after dinner before working, so as not to feel uncomfortable in your stomach."

The second child was really hardworking. She really couldn't find fault with her farm work.

"Mom, I'll go carry some pine needles to digest the food. It's not a problem. "

Bai Anyan smiled, not caring at all. Two baskets of pine needles were very light.

Looking at his broad back, Bai Yunxi did not stop him. After playing with Yaya for a while, she stood up to observe the slope. Six or seven acres had been opened, and half of it was completed.

There is another major reason for the barrenness of the slope, which is that it cannot store water.

If you want to carry water from the river, it is not only far away, but also time-consuming and laborious.

If you can divert spring water from the mountain, it will save effort. At that time, you can dig a reservoir next to it and store rainwater.

With this idea in mind, Bai Yunxi walked up the slope and drew spring water from the upstream. The distance was not short.

But you only need to dig the spring water once, and you don't have to worry about irrigation in the future.

"Mom, what are you looking at? "Bai Anyi looked at the sky and came over.

"I'm thinking about how to solve the irrigation problem of this slope. Look, dig a reservoir at this location, draw mountain spring water from there, and then connect it with bamboo tubes to form a canal, and go straight down the river. Isn't it just at this location?"

Bai Yunxi pointed to a mountain spring in front. Although the water flow is not large, it is continuous all year round, which is enough for irrigating this slope.

There are springs everywhere in the mountains, and they all converge into Qingshui River. They draw a spring here, which does not affect the villagers' water use.

Following the guidance of his mother, Bai Anyi's eyes were full of doubts, "It's good, but it's too troublesome."

'I'm really bold. Connecting bamboo tubes from upstream is exhausting.'

"It's a trouble once, and it saves trouble for many years. It's very cost-effective."

Bai Yunxi looked at him. Although this kid's mind is correct, the bad habits he developed in the past will still emerge subconsciously.
