Serious water shortage

"I had something to do this morning, so I came late." Lu Xiaoxiao replied to Liu Ermei while taking off the backpack from her back.

Liu Ermei nodded after hearing what Lu Xiaoxiao said. Then she looked at the sparse pigweed at the foot of the mountain and said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, let's cut the pigweed in another place tomorrow. The pigweed at the foot of the mountain can be cut." Almost all of them have been mowed, and the remaining ones need to be left as seeds, otherwise I’m afraid there won’t be pigweed growing at the foot of the mountain next year.”

After Lu Xiaoxiao heard Liu Ermei's words, she looked around at the foot of the mountain. When she saw that there was indeed only a little bit of pigweed at the foot of the mountain, she said, "Okay."

"Hey, I really don't know when it will rain. The water level in the well near my house has dropped by a section. If it doesn't rain again, I guess the well will dry up." Liu Ermei said worriedly. road.

"So serious?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked after hearing Liu Ermei's words.

"Yes, I heard that several wells in the village have dried up. My mother said that the water brought from the mountains to the fields is getting smaller and smaller. The captain's hair has turned white."

Lu Xiaoxiao has not paid attention to the water shortage problem in the village since she helped the village buy soft water pipes last time. She did not expect that the water shortage in the village would be so serious in such a short period of time.

"Second sister, after cutting the pigweed, let's go to the field and have a look." Lu Xiaoxiao said to Liu Ermei.

"good."

After Lu Xiaoxiao and Liu Ermei delivered the pigweed to the pig farm, they walked towards the field. Along the way, they saw many villagers carrying water from the river and pouring it into the field. However, because the weather was too hot, the water vapor Evaporation is high, so no matter how hard the villagers work to carry water, they only keep the soil moist.

"Xiao Xiao, the water shortage in the fields is much more serious than what my mother said." Liu Ermei squatted in a field and looked at it before saying to Lu Xiaoxiao.

"Um."

"I wonder if the captain has come up with any solution. Otherwise, if this continues, our village will be hungry next year."

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know how to answer after hearing Liu Ermei's words, because when she saw people in the village carrying water, she knew that the captain must not have thought of a way to solve the water shortage problem, otherwise the captain would not let the villagers carry water. People go to fetch water and water the fields.

"Xiaoxiao, let's go." Liu Ermei stood up and said to Lu Xiaoxiao.

The reason why Liu Ermei wanted to leave so quickly was because she felt uncomfortable when she saw the lack of water in the fields, so she didn't want to stay here anymore.

"good."

"Xiao Xiao, come here, I have something to ask you." When the captain saw Lu Xiaoxiao standing on the ridge of the field, he shouted to Lu Xiaoxiao.

After hearing the captain's words, Lu Xiaoxiao said to Liu Ermei: "Second sister, you go home first."

"Okay, then I'll go back first, and you should go home early."

"Um."

Lu Xiaoxiao walked towards the captain after Liu Ermei left. She probably guessed why the captain called her.

"Xiaoxiao, have you seen what's going on in the fields?" the captain asked Lu Xiaoxiao when Lu Xiaoxiao walked up to him.

"As you can see, the water shortage is very serious. If it continues like this, there will be basically no expectations for this year's autumn harvest."

The captain sighed deeply after hearing Lu Xiaoxiao's words, and then he said to Lu Xiaoxiao as if he had made some decision: "Xiaoxiao, if you can help the village get through this time, It’s a difficult time. From now on, you can take leave whenever and for as long as you want. If anything happens, I will take care of it for you.”
