Chapter 131 131 Months without rain

   "Yeah!" Wang Xiaomei quickly responded.

   Feeling valued.

   "Also, I thought about it. Starting from tomorrow, we will split half an hour every afternoon, and let's learn to read and write with Xianggong."

   "It's good for us to do business in the future."

   Wang Xiaomei was surprised.

   "Thank you sister-in-law!" Thank you quickly.

  She only learned arithmetic, and she already realized the benefits of arithmetic.

  Learn to read and write, she didn't even dare to think about it before putting it on.

   Don't say she's just a girl, even her eldest brother, didn't get into the school to study and read.

   But now, my sister-in-law actually asked her to learn to read and write with her.

   Sister-in-law treats her better than her parents!

   Qin Xiaoyao smiled.

   "No need to thank you, just keep up with the progress! I'm learning very fast!" he said.

   She was considered a scholar in her previous life. She had the basics, and of course she was coming soon.

   "Yeah! I'll work hard!" Wang Xiaomei looked firm.

   Then, Qin Xiaoyao showed her what a genius is.

  Her sister-in-law learns to write and recognize characters, she only needs to look twice to learn.

   And she, after repeated practice and recitation many times, will still make mistakes.

   But she feels her only strength is hard work.

  As long as she has time, or even when she is doing things, she will find opportunities to review or review what she has learned to strengthen her memory.

   The consequence of this is that Wang Xiaomei has made amazing progress.

   In the quiz at the end of the month, even Song Que was surprised by Wang Xiaomei's results.

   For the first time, I felt that Qin Xiaoyao's eyes were poisonous.

   It is mid-June at this time, and the weather has entered the midsummer.

  Lingquan Town has not rained for two months.

  Under the scorching sun, the sun scorched the earth, and water shortages gradually appeared in many places.

  The crops in the fields are short of water, and the villagers are looking for ways to find water to irrigate the crops, so as to prevent the crops from dying from drought.

   Some people even started to worry, fearing that there would be a severe drought this year, which would make it impossible to harvest food this autumn.

  The price of food in the city fluctuated slightly.

  Qin Xiaoyao heard about the situation in Xia Shui Village from Li Da Niu.

   Now, the paddy fields in Xia Shui Village are almost dry.

  In order to prevent the rice from drying out, some of the villagers have begun to draw water from the Huanshui River.

  Unfortunately, relying on manpower to carry water to maintain, the effect is not very good.

   "The water level of the Huanshui River has dropped a lot, and the stream in the village has also stopped flowing. Now everyone goes to the old well in the village to get water."

   "Because there are so many people fetching water, the well water has been out of reach recently."

   "The village chief just sent a message and asked everyone to line up to fetch water. Each household can only fetch two dans of water every day."

   Qin Xiaoyao was surprised.

   "Only two gallons of water? Where is this enough?"

  Li Da Niu looked helpless.

   "Of course it's not enough! The two dans of water are used for drinking, the rest of the livestock are used, and domestic water such as bathing is also used. Now everyone goes directly to the Huanshui River to pick it up."

   Having said that, Daniel Li looked at Qin Xiaoyao enviously.

   "It's still your home, there is a well in the yard."

   "By the way, is there enough water in your well?"

   Qin Xiaoyao nodded.

   "Enough, it's always full."

   Seeing Li Da Niu's surprised expression, Qin Xiaoyao explained: "I don't have livestock at home. I usually do laundry and cooking, plus watering the fields in the yard. I don't need much water every day."

   Thinking of the fields in the yard, Qin Xiaoyao smiled.

   I really owe that well, otherwise, the toon trees and vegetables that were planted would never survive.

   There was another burst of envy in Li Da Niu's eyes.

   "Let's come to town now to buy a yard with a well, don't know if it will work?" Immediately said.

   Qin Xiaoyao smiled happily.

   "This is—have you saved enough money to go to the city to buy a yard?"

  Li Da Niu immediately gave Qin Xiaoyao a sad look.

   "Where is it so easy..."

   glanced around the Song family's yard, and Daniel Li sighed.

  Two hundred and fifty taels, give them a year or so...and only with the support of my in-laws.

   Qin Xiaoyao smiled, reached out and patted the good sister's shoulder.

   "Don't be discouraged, you can buy it sooner or later!" encouraged.

  Li Da Niu took a deep breath.

   "Take your time." Then, he said with some frustration.

   "This is, what's the matter?" Qin Xiaoyao asked, feeling that Li Da Niu was in a wrong mood.

"In the hot summer, the goods are not so easy to collect now. Didn't Sister Sanya notice that the goods I and Daniel have delivered have decreased these days?" Mushrooms and the like are almost gone. If you can't get it, it's not so good now.

   Or because of the drought, the vegetables that can survive in each vegetable field have to be supported by water, and there are fewer vegetables in the vegetable field.

   "Well." Qin Xiaoyao responded.

  Li Da Niu said, she remembered.

   Now the dishes sent by the couple are indeed not as fresh as before, and the quantity is also less than before.

   It's not that fresh. She understands. After all, the weather is hot, and some of the moisture in the vegetables will be evaporated.

She really didn't pay attention to the small number of   .

   After all, she can't make much money in the field of farm food.

   For the income of restaurants and restaurants, she still relies mainly on preserved eggs.

  Yes, after the summer, her preserved egg business is getting better and better.

   The preserved eggs she made before were not enough to sell.

   Recently, we are increasing the purchase of eggs and duck eggs, just to make more preserved eggs to sell.

   Now she not only asks Li Da Niu and his wife to help her collect eggs, but she will also go to the West Market to collect eggs in batches.

   Then in the afternoon, I spend a lot of time making the mud for the preserved eggs, and then the preserved eggs.

   There are already many jars of preserved eggs in the utility room. As long as the preserved eggs are cooked, they can all be exchanged for money in restaurants and restaurants.

  Beauty Xianggong saw that she was collecting more and more eggs every day, and told her to control the number.

   But she didn't take it too seriously.

   As long as it is before winter, her preserved eggs are almost always sold.

   Don't be afraid after the winter, if there are too many goods, she will take her little sister to the street to set up a stall to sell preserved egg porridge.

   It’s just right, selling utensils and straw sandals doesn’t make much money, so it’s not impossible to free up your hands to do something else.

   retracted his thoughts, Qin Xiaoyao looked at Li Da Niu.

   "I see that there are fewer farmers selling vegetables in the market now, and the price of vegetables has risen." He said.

   "Well, when I go to deliver goods tomorrow, I'll talk to Laifulou. Let's see if they can raise the price of vegetables. In this way, we can follow suit."

  Li Da Niu nodded quickly.

   Qin Xiaoyao chatted with Li Da Niu for a while.

   After calculating the accounts of her and Li Da Niu in the last ten days, he gave her the money before sending her away.

   At this time, the sun was shining brightly outside, and when he came to the yard, under the scorching sun, Qin Xiaoyao almost felt that his skin was stinging from the sun.

   "Otherwise, let's wait until the evening before leaving. I'm not at ease when you go back alone." Qin Xiaoyao said, grabbing Big Niu Li.
