Traveling through the famine years with the system to raise cubs

Jiang Yaojie was taken aback by Jiang Ling's question. He lowered his head and pinched his patched clothes with both hands uneasily. He hesitated for a long time before he said, "I...I...I vaguely remember that some old people lying on the bed... ...That's what I said. Not long after I finished speaking, I was gone..."

Jiang Yaojie didn't dare to say any more about what happened next, and of course he didn't dare to think about it any longer. This would make his heart inexplicably ache so painful that he almost shed tears.

Jiang Ling was speechless. She rubbed her forehead, only to realize that Jiang Yaojie was not only sensitive but also suspicious.

"Speak more bluntly with Jiang Yaojie in the future. It will be difficult to explain his wild thinking to him for a while!" Thinking of this, Jiang Ling said, "Don't worry, I'm in good health!"

"You are our eldest son, I just think it would be better to say something from your mouth. Two days ago, my mother discovered that there is a source of water on this mountain. This morning, my mother also went to the village chief grandpa to discuss this matter." Jiang Ling said.

"Wh... what, mother? You! You found the source of water?" Jiang Yaojie widened his eyes and opened his mouth in disbelief.

"Yes, it's in the cave of the white-haired empress, but the water source is currently blocked by a huge rock. The method was given to me by the white-haired empress in a dream. After a test, the method is indeed feasible, but..." Speaking of Jiang Lingdun paused.

"However, the problem of the boulder has been solved, but how to bring the water down is still a problem." Jiang Ling said with a face of embarrassment.

"This...how difficult is this?" Jiang Yaojie said.

Jiang Ling was overjoyed and asked, "Yaojie, do you have a solution?"

"Mom, it's very simple, I just carry the bucket to fetch water!"

Jiang Yaojie's words made Jiang Ling a little speechless. Why do these people only think of the most time-consuming, laborious and useless methods.

"Yaojie, my mother asked you, how long will it take you to go to the cave of the white-haired empress in the back mountain?"

"About half an hour, my legs and feet are faster, maybe less than half an hour!" Jiang Yaojie scratched his head and said.

"Then how many buckets of water can you carry at a time?" Jiang Ling continued to ask.

"Two buckets." Jiang Yaojie glanced at the bucket in the corner and said.

"Then do you know how many barrels are needed for one mu of field?"

Jiang Yaojie listened to Jiang Ling's question, pondered for a while and replied, "This... I don't know much about this."

"Yaojie, let me ask you again for my mother, if you need twenty barrels of water to irrigate one mu of land, how many times do you need to go up and down the mountain every day?"

Jiang Yaojie completely stopped Jiang Ling's question. He scratched his head and thought about it for a while, and finally shook his head blankly.

Jiang Ling was ashamed in her heart. Jiang Yaojie was [-] years old and still couldn't figure out the arithmetic problems that elementary school students knew. Jiang Ling resisted the desire to tell him the answer and continued to guide: "Yaojie, do you think two buckets of water are half the price?" Time? How long are the four buckets of water?"

"One hour!" Jiang Yaojie answered quickly this time.

"That hour is four barrels of water, how long is the twenty barrels?" Jiang Ling continued to speak patiently.

"This..." Jiang Yaojie began to count with a serious expression on his fingers.

After a full three or four minutes, Jiang Yaojie stammered and said, "Mother...is it five hours!"

"That's right!" Jiang Ling didn't know why when she heard Jiang Yaojie's answer, she was extremely happy. This tmd is obviously an arithmetic problem for elementary school students, okay?

Jiang Ling nodded, and said earnestly: "Yaojie spends twelve hours a day, and you spend five hours fetching water back and forth. I'm only talking about one mu of land. What if it's twenty or thirty mu?"

"I..." Jiang Yaojie bit his lip and didn't know how to answer Jiang Ling's question for a while.

"Yaojie, does the water flow?" Jiang Ling continued to guide. Although she was very anxious at the moment and wanted to tell Jiang Yaojie the method directly, she knew that she couldn't do this, and the consequences of doing so would only be suspected by everyone.

"Mother! You... don't tell me... you want to say, let's dig a road from the back mountain and let the water flow down this road slowly?" Jiang Yaojie thought for a long time.

When Jiang Ling heard this sentence, she almost jumped up from the ground and danced. God knows how uncomfortable it is for her to keep this thought in her heart.

"Although this method is feasible, Yaojie, do you think the current land is really too dry?" Jiang Ling continued.

Jiang Yaojie was taken aback by Jiang Ling's words, he stood up and looked at his deserted small vegetable garden, and nodded at Jiang Ling.

"Although there is water on the mountain, but in such a dry land, it is estimated that all the water will be absorbed before it reaches the foot of the mountain?"

When Jiang Yaojie heard Jiang Ling's words, he showed a somewhat disappointed expression. He looked up at the sky full of stars and murmured: "Is there no other way?"

"Yaojie, have you ever thought about putting something on the soil to prevent the water from being sucked away by the soil?" Jiang Ling continued to hint.

Jiang Ling's words reminded Jiang Yaojie, he frowned and scratched the back of his head, thinking seriously.Jiang Ling didn't continue to hint at him, nor urged him, but sat patiently beside him and waited for his answer.

Jiang Yaojie's facial expression kept changing, or frowning, or scratching his ears, or pouting his lips, after a long time, Jiang Yaojie showed an expression of sudden realization, he patted his head suddenly and said: "Mom! Can't we just use hay? "

Speaking of which, Jiang Yaojie began to draw comparisons with Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling was a little disappointed after hearing this, she didn't show it, and continued to guide patiently: "Yaojie, although hay is desirable, it will rot if soaked in water for a long time, not to mention the cost of weaving hay is not cheap, think again Is there any other feasible way?"

Jiang Yaojie was a little disappointed by Jiang Ling's words. Seeing Jiang Ling's encouraging eyes, he was not discouraged and continued to sit on the ground and meditate.

After a long time, Jiang Yaojie suddenly looked in the direction of the mountain, and suddenly turned to Jiang Ling and said, "Mother! Bamboo! Bamboo works! This thing is straight in the middle and straight in the outside. It has excellent corrosion resistance and toughness. Use it to Drainage couldn't be better!"

Hearing Jiang Yaojie's words, Jiang Ling was ecstatic. She suppressed her excited nerves and said to Jiang Yaojie: "My good boy! I am very pleased that you can think of this. I will take you to the village chief's grandfather's house tomorrow morning." , you remember to tell your method!"

"This..." Jiang Yaojie pursed his lips uneasily.

Jiang Ling knew Jiang Yaojie's current thoughts. No one had given him good looks since he was a child, and he had never been affirmed. He felt extremely inferior. Suddenly, such a big matter was on his shoulders, and he would definitely think that he was [-]% going to mess it up.

"Yaojie, mother said before that you are the eldest son of our family and must take on the responsibilities of this family. You can speak up about this matter boldly! Believe me, you can definitely do it!" Jiang Ling patted Jiang Yaojie shoulder road.

Jiang Ling's words gave Jiang Yaojie great encouragement, but he still hesitated, he opened his mouth and said hesitantly: "Mother, I... can I really do it?"

"Yaojie, you have to believe in yourself! You are really outstanding!" Jiang Ling paused at this point, and continued: "Okay, go back to sleep soon! Mother will take you to the village chief's grandpa tomorrow morning! "Jiang Ling didn't want to give Jiang Yaojie any chance to hesitate, so he turned back to his room.
