CHAPTER 222: CHAPTER 197: FELL INTO THE LATRINE?

There are ditches around the pond, and the rainwater flows into them, looking like it’s already over a person’s height.

Jiang Hu walked around the pond once and thought for a while.

"It seems that after the weather clears up, we’ll need to make a fence around the pond. Leaving it open like this, if someone accidentally falls in, it would be terrible."

"Don’t use a fence, use stones. Circle them around the pond, and also dig a few steps beside for convenience when raising geese and ducks later."

Uncle Liu’s idea was clearly better, and Jiang Hu nodded: "Luckily the water hasn’t risen yet. I brought lotus seeds when I came out, might as well plant them by the pond."

If they can grow in the mountain ponds, then surely they can here too.

It’s just a pity that the lotus roots dug up earlier have already been eaten, even the buds left behind were all eaten up.

Mainly because if they weren’t eaten, they would’ve spoiled anyway.

Jiang Hu had Uncle Liu go back first, then he made a simple mark by himself. After the weather cleared up, he would come to dig steps and plant all the lotus seeds he brought around the pond.

There weren’t many lotus seeds to begin with, after planting them like this, there were none left. So, there’s no need for a lotus pond for the time being.

This spring rain went on for four days, and even the water levels in the river returned to normal, if not higher.

Just when everyone was worried about a flood coming after the drought, on the fifth day, the weather finally cleared up.

In the spring of March, everything revived.

The wild grass on the ground finally sprouted again, bringing a touch of green to the land that had been barren for half a year.

Everyone walked through the fields, clean and shiny, as if it was New Year’s, with joyous expressions on everyone’s face.

The muddy paths were full of footprints, adults and children alike didn’t mind at this moment.

They were even joyfully moving through the fields, carrying hoes, checking if their land had truly recovered.

It seemed that only by seeing it with their own eyes could they be sure.

The Jiang family was also busy in the fields. After the rain just fell, the fields couldn’t be worked on, they had to wait for two sunny days before they could start sowing.

However, they could work on the fields. On the first day of rain, everyone unanimously began to fill the paddy fields with water.

The previously cracked paddy fields had been soaked for several days now, making it a perfect time to till the land.

But the family’s young calf was still too small to work, so for the next year or two, they had to do the plowing themselves.

Even plowing themselves didn’t diminish the joy in everyone’s hearts.

The delayed spring sowing finally began!

A light rain, everything rejuvenated, and the whole Fu’an Village became busy.

While everyone was busy in the fields, Xiaomi began to worry.

Wei Ziang’s injuries had almost healed, at least no infection or other issues would occur.

Now, they just had to wait for the scabs on his wounds to fall off, and he would return to normal.

Of course, that’s his physical normalcy.

Regarding his memory, Xiaomi was completely helpless.

Since his injuries have healed quite a bit, they couldn’t just keep him in the space forever, staying alone like that wouldn’t be good for his body or mind.

As Qixi came out of master’s room, he saw Xiaomi leaning on the railing beneath the eaves, lost in thought.

"Xiaomi girl, why are you here alone, weren’t you sleeping?"

Xiaomi looked up and saw Qixi in clean clothes, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Uncle Qixi, are you going to town?"

Qixi nodded: "Yes, the weather finally cleared up, going to check the situation in town."

Most importantly, he needed to find someone to send a letter to the county.

After all, it’s been several months since the master and young master had any contact with the county.

The journey was long, and the situation outside was uncertain, so going to the county wasn’t feasible right now. Sending a letter was the quickest and simplest solution.

Xiaomi had already guessed this answer. She had heard Grandpa Liu mention sending a letter to the county during breakfast.

She stood up immediately: "Uncle Qixi, I’ll go with you! I haven’t been to town in a long time!"

Qixi was momentarily stunned, then couldn’t help but smile: "Xiaomi girl, there’s probably nothing fun or delicious in town right now, maybe you should wait a while before going?"

He thought Xiaomi wanted to go play because she hadn’t been to town in a while.

Xiaomi shook her head repeatedly: "I’m not going to play, I’m just going to look around. Don’t worry, Uncle Qixi, I’ll just stay in the carriage and won’t go anywhere."
