Su He nodded, that's the truth.
While other places have not noticed the possible drought this year, Nanzhu Village is preparing first.
This is a chance to survive!
Don’t be surprised, it’s true that someone can starve to death if they’re hungry.
People born in the new century really cannot understand starvation to the point of starving to death!
Because at that time, hybrid rice came out and the fields were distributed to each household, so there was no possibility of people starving to death.
No matter how lazy you are, you can still fill your stomach.
Well, the kind of people who are unwilling to move are another matter.
Ye Zhenhan continued: "Besides, this water exists here. Apart from being inedible, it can be used for watering and washing things."
Su He suddenly thought of the well in Ye Zhenhan's yard and asked, "Is it okay to build a few more wells in the village?"
Ye Zhenhan sighed: "Drilling a well is not that simple. We don't have the tools and our skills are not up to par. The well in our house was specially drilled by someone many years ago."
Well, that well was left by our ancestors more than a hundred years ago.
Speaking of which, the water from that well is really good, warm in winter and cool in summer.
However, Ye Zhenhan did not completely deny Su He's opinion: "I'll talk to my eldest cousin later and see what he thinks."
Su He nodded and was about to say something else when he saw many educated youths coming out of the village carrying their own baggage.
When he saw Ye Zhenhan, he greeted him warmly.
Su He suddenly realized that these people really planned to go back.
It's still early. Are you ready to leave? No need to buy train tickets in advance?
Ye Zhenhan looked at the educated youths who couldn't wait to leave after taking the letters of introduction, and sighed: "Yesterday you gave your opinion, and my eldest cousin told them in the afternoon. They didn't seem to fall asleep last night, and they came early in the morning for the introduction. I believed it. Then now, everything is packed up and ready to leave."
Su He nodded, wanting to see if the handsome educated youth had left.
To be honest, Su He wanted that comely educated youth to leave.
But it's a pity that after watching for a while, Su He didn't see the man coming out with the baggage on his back.
Su He frowned, not knowing what was going on. He always felt that this matter was not over yet.
"Grandpa, I'm back!" Su He said, and Little Pumpkin quickly said goodbye to his grandpa: "Grandpa, the nest has also been moved back!"
Grandpa smiled and nodded. Even though life is difficult, we must face life with a smile.
Su He's house is also at the entrance of the village, but it is closer to Laohe Village, with the back mountain behind it.
This Nanzhu Mountain blocks the view of Laohe Village, but it is actually not very high.
The side near Su He's house is not very high!
Before he even reached the door of his house, he saw Ye Chengbo.
"Cheng Bo!" Su He said something. Ye Chengbo nodded, walked over, and bumped shoulders with Su He: "Long time no see. How did I hear that you failed the exam?"
Su He nodded: "I don't know if there is any problem. I asked Gu Dong to go find his uncle and ask."
With that said, Su He told his guess again, and said: "This matter is still a secret, you must not tell it. I will only tell you and Gu Dong."
Ye Chengbo nodded and lifted the things in his hands: "I got the loquats from my grandma's house for you to try."
Su He took it and put it on Black Star's back, letting Little Pumpkin hold it.
Of course she couldn't lift it, but most of the weight was on Black Star's back. All she had to do was lock the opening of the bag and prevent the loquats from falling out.
Su He was still curious: "Aren't these loquats ripe in May and June? Do you still have them?"
Ye Chengbo said: "The loquat trees in my grandma's house are all late-maturing, one month later than others. But they are also sweeter than others."
Whether the fruit is sweet or not depends entirely on the tree species. Well, there is also the reason why fruit trees perform photosynthesis.
People say why watermelons in the north are sweeter? Refers to those watermelons without hormones.
Because the temperature difference between day and night in the north is large, an important factor in the accumulation of sweetness in plants is high absorption and low consumption. That is to say, the higher the temperature during the day, the more conducive to sugar accumulation, while the lower the temperature at night, the more sugar consumption will be reduced. That is to say, the greater the temperature difference between day and night is conducive to the accumulation of sugar.
Of course, there is also the reason for the rainfall. The more rainfall, the less the sun will come out, and the watermelon will perform less photosynthesis, and it will not be as sweet.
After saying a few words, Ye Chengbo leaned into Su He's ear and said, "I just came from home and saw your second sister and an educated youth arguing over there, and then your second sister started crying."
Su He was a little surprised, but didn't say much.
He nodded: "Don't tell anyone."
If this matter spreads, I don’t know how many people will spread the word about my wife.
By then, Su Rong's reputation will be ruined.
I was flirting and quarreling with an educated youth.
Well, Ye Chengbo only said that there was a quarrel, but if word spread, it must have been a fight, and there was more.
These days, there is no entertainment, so I rely on my wife's tongue to pass the time.
Even if the villagers of Nanzhu Village are relatively simple, they are very enthusiastic about spreading gossip among their wives.
No one has electricity, and there is nothing to play with. When everyone gets together, what else can they say except gossip?
This is human nature, everyone is gossiping!
Ye Chengbo nodded: "You still don't know me? I have a strict mouth!"
Su He was relieved. These two good friends were both very strict.
After thinking about it, Su He asked again: "By the way, your test result this time seems not to be ideal. What do you plan to do next?"
Ye Chengbo waved his hand: "You don't need to cover up for me. I just didn't do well in the exam and didn't go to high school anyway. My dad said that he would find a place for me to learn my trade later, and then I can earn work points based on my craft."
Su He had never thought about this matter and had no idea at all.
"Okay, I'll find you later!"
The two separated. Su He led the cow back to the door and took down the small pumpkins and loquats. There were only a few wild lotus roots and a fish in the bucket, which was not big. Each member of the family had a bowl of soup and two or three pieces. Fish nuggets, no more.
Black Star went back to the shed by himself, and Heizi also ran away. It seemed that he was going to catch mice.
Although Su He would give meat and bones to Heizi every day, Heizi seemed to be used to catching rats for food. Even though he had meat and bones to eat, Heizi did not give up his skills.
If this were an individual, it would definitely be an example of self-struggle and not relying on charity from others.
Well, even if it's a dog, this is an aggressive dog.
Su He came in and gave the wild lotus roots and fish to his grandma. He must have been eating at grandma's house these days. He thought about it and went to look at the place where the food was stored.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it, but when you look at it, you’re shocked: “Is there so little food left at home?”
