"Why can't you do it? Which other old men in the village, who are just as old as their father, isn't they still doing things?" Li also took an example, "For example, Uncle Zhu Jia, how dare you say that Dad is older than Uncle Zhu Jia? But look at Uncle Zhu Jia, aren't you still going to the field this year?"

Well, Zhu Si has nothing to say.

There are many people in the family, and Old Man Zhu is older, and whether or not they do things will have no big impact on them.

But his wife said that his father was depressed because he had nothing to do, so that was a big deal.

Sure enough, Zhu Si and Zhu Wuyi communicated the next day and found a problem.

"What should I do?" Zhu Si asked, "We can't really let my father go to the field, right? Now the seedlings have been planted and the sweet potatoes have been planted. Apart from the work in the vegetable field, we have basically finished all the work. What else can we do to keep my father busy?"

"Why can't you be busy? My father can be busy with the work in the vegetable field. No matter what he does, just take his father with him. The key is not what he wants to do, but to give him something to do."

"Okay, I have no objection. I have to tell my elder brother and second brother about this matter. The land at home is under their jurisdiction and their consent is required."

"What family land is under their jurisdiction, and it has not been separated yet." Zhu Wu was a little unhappy when he heard this, "You can't say this too early, do you know?"

"Do you want the land at home? I haven't heard you say it before." Zhu Si was surprised.

"It's not that I want the land at home, but that the one at home is not the eldest brother or the second brother. We know that there is one thing, and whether it is really given to them is different. If it has been given, then we have no right to intervene; if it has not been given, then the rest of us will still have a share and can intervene, understand?" Zhu Wu explained.

Zhu Si understood.

Regarding Old Man Zhu, the brothers of the Zhu family are quite united.

There is no separation yet, and there are not so many conflicts and conflicts between them. Of course, I hope that my father can live a few more years.

Everyone was unsure of what to do, so they started by "calling" Old Man Zhu to go down the field together, and asked him to accompany him to do all the work, and first check the situation.

If you have something to do and have nothing to do, your spirit is completely different.

Since those things are still in Old Man Zhu's mind, once people get busy, they don't have time to think about it.

If you do too much work, your stomach will be hungry quickly and you want to eat.

After eating, you will want to go to bed.

After a while, although the aging on Old Man Zhu has not been completely eliminated, it has some effect.

When the brothers saw this, they breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that I can't let my father be too idle!"

"It was originally true that he and Widow Qin were just idle?"

"Oh, why did you say that?"

"It's true. He has to be busy every day and fall asleep. He doesn't even have the strength to go out. He still has the energy to go so far to find Widow Qin?"

...

The other few suddenly had nothing to say.

Time flies, and soon, the affairs of Widow Qin were forgotten by everyone in the ocean of memory.

"Chi...Chi...Chi..."

As the cicadas kept shouting, the summer solstice arrived.

At this time, the hottest season of the year has arrived.

The seedlings in the field also began to droop, and the people in Zhujia Village were busy with watering.

It was not until this time that Ye Yuran realized again: "I forgot to repair the canal."

"Drive?" Zhu Qiyi, wearing a straw hat, looked puzzled, "Mom, what is a canal?"

Ye Yuran pointed to the rice field in front of him and said, "Look, what are you doing now?"

"Water," said Zhu Qi, "You said, it's hot now, and the water in the fields is drying faster. Let everyone water it more frequently and don't let the water in the fields dry."

"Look at how do you water it now?"

"That's how it's poured." Zhu Qi looked at the person who was carrying the bucket, looking confused.

Ye Yuran was a little helpless. She knew that she had asked the wrong question, so Lao Qi didn't understand what she meant.

"I mean, what do they use to water now?"

"bucket."

"It's too tiring for them to carry water like this. If we have a more labor-saving way, should we use it?"

"My mother has a solution?" Zhu Qi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Ye Yuran smiled and nodded: "That's why I said, we forgot to repair the canal."

Although there were canals in Zhujia Village before, that kind of canal was very simple, which was to direct water from the river to a place where water was needed and dig a large pond to store water.

If anyone wants to use it, just go over and “choose” it.

The canal that Ye Yuran imagined should lead to the fields of each household. When it is needed, open a hole and the water flows in; when it is not needed, seal the hole.

However, now the rice has begun to grow joints, so it is too late to consider the construction of the canal at this time.

So, she took Zhu Qi and began to inspect the paddy fields in each household.

She found that many people's paddy fields are connected together. Not only are they connected together, but they are also very lucky. One acre is not very far from the pond where water is stored next to them.

Ye Yuran immediately told Zhu Qi what he thought.

She was afraid that Zhu Qi would not understand, so she found a stick and drew it on the ground, indicating that they could connect the nearest acre of paddy fields and guide the water from the pond in.

Other paddy fields only need to be connected to this acre of paddy fields, and use the law of water flowing to the lower part to guide the water.

"Mom, you are so awesome!"

Zhu Qi's eyes were shining and he looked admirable.

He and Dabao and Erbao played this kind of "water diversion" game before, but never thought that this thing could be used for irrigation.

Damn this method can save a lot of manpower.

"Since you understand, then what if I leave this matter to you?" Ye Yuran looked at him, his eyes full of expectation.

Maybe he wasn't perfect enough, but she believed that as long as he could handle it, it would be a huge success.

Zhu Qi was a little hesitant.

"Don't be afraid, even if you fail, it's nothing. At most, you'll just continue to fetch water." Ye Yuran encouraged.

Zhu Qi took a breath and nodded: "Well, I'm not afraid."

What Ye Yuran didn't expect was that Zhu Qi did not immediately call someone to work after agreeing, but instead took out her logical mind map and made a flow chart.

He marked all of which paddy fields can be used in this way and which paddy fields cannot be used.

But after spending a day, he had already made a "plan".

Ye Yuran was very surprised, but she did not rush to "praise", but instead was patient and saw what else he would do next.

He seemed to remember what she once said, professional things should be left to professionals, and he knew that he was not good at dealing with people, so he found Zhu San, whom he relied very much on.

"San brother, look, will watering this way save a lot of effort?"

Zhu Sanke didn't know that Ye Yuran had given Zhu Qi this task, so when he got this thing, he was shocked: "What is this?! Wait, Lao Qi, did this you did it?"

I can't believe it at all.

In his impression, Lao Qi, who was so stupid that he even relied on "reciting" the county examination, could actually make such irrigation planning maps?!

"Brother Third, tell me first, is this OK?"
