Take Xiaowu, the top student in the family. They were both born together, but he is exceptionally smart, thoughtful, sensitive and suspicious. He will try to win her back for a while, but I'm afraid it won't be easy.

When she said pine needles were fat just now, the boy stared at her with a puzzled expression, as if he wanted to see the flowers on her face.

Mentioning this point, Bai Yunxi snickered silently, so what if he was smart?

After all, he is still a young boy who has not participated in social experience. He wants to get an advantage in front of her, but he is still almost angry.

After resting for a while, Baiyunxi went to carry another basket of pine needles, and Du Shi brought lunch.

Behind her, there was little girl Yaya jumping up and down.

"Mom, it's time to eat."

"Hey~, thank you for your hard work." It's not easy at all to cook meals for the whole family and clean up the house alone.

"Compared to my second brother and the others, my daughter-in-law doesn't have to work hard."

Mrs. Du put down her pole, spread a few banana leaves on a flat place, quickly laid out the food, and called a few people over to eat.

Everyone in the family does physical work. Although Du Shi is hard at work, she doesn't have much to say about cooking.

Even the food has more oil and water than before.

According to her instructions, each person should add a boiled egg to breakfast every day to increase nutrition and give them strength to work.

Only when you are well fed can you work hard. ♤

After dinner, Bai Yunxi was playing with Yaya and saw Bai Anyan walking up the mountain carrying two baskets.

"An Yan, take a rest after eating before working to avoid stomach discomfort."

The second child is really hard-working, and she really can't fault her when it comes to farm work.

"Mom, I'm going to carry some pine needles, just for digestion, it won't be a problem."

Bai Anyan smiled and didn't care at all. The two baskets of pine needles were very light.

Looking at his generous back, Baiyunxi didn't stop him. He let Yaya play for a while, then got up and observed the slope land. Six or seven acres had been cultivated, and half of it was completed.

Another major reason why the slopes are barren is that they cannot hold water.

Carrying water from the river is not only a long way, but also time-consuming and laborious.

If spring water can be diverted from the mountains, it will save effort. Then a reservoir will be dug next to it to store rainwater.

With this thought in mind, Baiyun River walked up the slope to receive mountain spring water from the upper reaches, and the distance was not close.

But it only takes one trouble to divert the mountain spring down, and you no longer have to worry about irrigation in the future.

"Mom, what are you looking at?" Bai Anyi glanced at the sky and came over.

"I'm thinking about how to solve the irrigation problem on this sloping land. Look, dig a reservoir at this location, collect the mountain spring water from there, and then connect it with bamboo tubes to form a canal, and follow the flow straight down. Will it just reach this location?"

Baiyunxi pointed to a mountain spring in front of it. Although the water flow was not large, it continued all year round, which was enough to water the slope.

There are springs everywhere in the mountains, and they eventually merge into the Qingshui River. They lead them to the springs, which does not affect the water use of the villagers.

Following his mother's guidance, Bai Anyi's eyes were full of doubts, "It's good, but it's too troublesome."

‘I dare to think that it would be exhausting to connect the bamboo tubes from upstream and come down. ’

"One time of trouble will save you years of worry. It's a great deal."

Bai Yunxi looked at him. Although this kid had a straight mind, the bad habits he had developed in the past would still emerge subconsciously.
