Father Han nodded and said, "I know this, everyone is not the same!"

"Father, our family doesn't have any harvest this year, and we don't have any savings. Shouldn't we be fleeing famine then?"

"What are you afraid of? There are not many rich families in the village, and they are all counting on this season's rice."

While the two of them were chatting, other men in the village were like them, standing on the ridge of the field with some sighs.

"We have to think of a way, there is no way to go on like this!" Someone suggested.

"Is there any way, there is no water in this ditch, it's all mud."

"Let's dig up the mud and dig the small ditch deep. It will probably be able to store water in one night!"

When the men heard this proposal, they all thought it was a good idea.

There is still a little wet mud in the ditch, which means that there must still be water below. It is possible to dig a hole to store water.

Everyone said, and started digging with shovels.

Most of the peasants' farms belong to landlords' families, and each family has only a few acres, and they are basically close to each other. So just dig a deep hole in the ditch of your own field to store water.

Father Han was about to pick up the shovel to dig, but was persuaded by the fifth brother of the Han family, "Father, you are not in good health, I can just go down and dig."

Old Man Han shook his head and said, "The two of us dig faster."

"Father, digging in the mud will stain your clothes later."

"If it's dirty, it's dirty, and you can wash it later. You don't know how long you can dig by yourself. Let's dig a deeper hole. It's better to store a little more water."

"Okay, Dad, let's dig together. If you can't dig, don't be brave!"

"Okay!" Father Han nodded, picked up the shovel, went down into the ditch, and started digging.

There was some thin mud in the ditch, and the two of them dug until evening, finally digging a big hole. It is estimated that after one night, a lot of water can be stored.

With this water for irrigation, at least some more grain can be harvested by then.

The two of them were already covered in mud.

"Old Five, it would be great if your second brother had half of you. Right now, there is a severe drought and there is no water in the first place. We have to worry about pumping water for him."

"Father, we are a family, don't say anything!"

"Oh, good!"

The fifth member of the Han family went up to the ridge from the ditch first, and when he was about to pull Father Han on his body, Father Han's head was dizzy for a while, and one of them didn't stop, and fell directly into the ditch.

"Dad, dad, what's the matter with you?" The fifth son of the Han family jumped down the ditch with a nervous expression on his face, and helped Dad Han up.

"I guess I kept my head down just now, but when I raised my head, my eyes went dark!" Father Han said weakly.

"Father, I told you not to dig it, look at you!" the fifth son of the Han family muttered.

Father Han sighed and shook his head, alas, when you are old, you can't just do a few things.

"Father, let me help you go back!" said the fifth member of the Han family.

The fifth son of the Han family spent a lot of effort, and finally pulled Father Han up from the ditch.

"Father, please slow down."

"well!"

After sending Papa Han back, Papa Han's health got worse. The fifth child of the Han family hurriedly put Father Han on the bed.

"Father, are you alright?" The fifth son of the Han family asked nervously.

"Water, give me a glass of water!"

"Okay!" The fifth child of the Han family hurriedly offered a cup to Father Han.

After drinking the herbal tea, Father Han's body slowed down and he felt a little more comfortable.
