Chapter 339 The Biansha is auspicious

"Wow! What a beautiful candy, sister, is this really for me?"

"Yes, take it."

"Thank you sister, but my grandma said you can't just take other people's things. Then sister, let me be your guide."

I also know the word guide. It seems that people come to this place often.

Only those who are familiar with Houjiang Mingyue know that due to the special geology here and the national scientific research and experimental base deep in the desert, this small village can often receive experts and professors from all over the world.

"Thank you then."

"Didn't sister give me candy? This is called mutual benefit."

Yo! This idea is quite advanced.

After getting to know each other, I found out that this child and his grandmother depended on each other, and his grandmother was blind. The child was sensible. In order to reduce the burden on her grandmother, she was always active in the village. When she saw a stranger like her, she would warmly come up to say hello. If the other party needed

Guide, he accepted this task, and he could get some benefits from the other party later.

If they knew that he only had a blind grandma, the customer would still give the boy a few dollars out of sympathy, and the life of the grandma and grandma would not be too difficult.

After understanding the child's situation and thinking of Xiaoran at home, Jiang Mingyue became even closer to the child in front of her.

"By the way, sister, my name is Jixiang." He didn't have a name at first, but the clan leader gave it to him. The clan leader has always taken good care of their two grandsons.

"What a name! Ji Xiang, please take me to see the whole village first."

There were more than ten houses, but the two of them spent a whole morning wandering around.

Jiang Mingyue also learned a few books about this village.

Because it is close to the desert, it is named Bianshazhuang. It is the only oasis within a hundred miles. However, this oasis cannot be planted. It is all steep mountains and rocks. Grass grows in the cracks, but it is luxuriant, but this

During the season, the green grass turns into withered grass.

These seventeen families live by raising cattle and sheep, but because there is not a large area of ​​water and grassland, the number of cattle and sheep they can raise is limited, which is why they are generally not wealthy.

Over the years, they have benefited from the country's preferential policies/policies for them. Not only do they not have to hand over any livestock, but the superiors often send people to prevent diseases and pests for their cattle and sheep for free, and their lives are getting better and better.

Jiang Mingyue also learned that it was not that there were few families in Bianshazhuang, but that they had not been separated for generations, and they all lived together as one big family. There were a total of forty-eight people in the family she went to beg for water, and they were not even connected.

The four grandsons and daughters-in-law are already pregnant. There are no more grandsons like the Jixiang family who only have two grandsons.

But these people live far away, separated by a few hills. Fortunately, it is not a big mountain, and you can see it all when you stand in front of the door, but it is not easy to walk.

And it is not convenient for them to drink water. They rely entirely on rainwater. There are not fruit trees in front of and behind every house, but several huge water tanks built with bricks and stones. Therefore, when it rains here, it is like a festival. Every house

All the staff went out to fill several reservoirs, which will be the domestic water for their whole family in the future.

The low-lying ponds with aquatic plants are used to divert rainwater from all directions. If there is a heavy rainstorm in summer, the reservoirs can overflow. This is water for livestock. This is why there are so few households.

But they are scattered and live so sparsely that water alone is a resource that can be robbed.

Jiang Mingyue thought about the experimental base in the desert, and I'm afraid it would be difficult for them to use water.

Thinking of Yan Jinzhi's newly bought small courtyard, Jiang Mingyue felt a sudden pain in his head. No wonder the courtyard was bare and not green at all. This was probably a place waiting for the rain to catch up with the rootless water.

Just ask who lives in a place like that?

"Sister, you can go to my house for dinner. My grandma likes having guests to talk to her the most."

Jiang Mingyue said in her heart: Your grandma is lonely, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up your food rations.

Although this morning she had already experienced the hospitality of people in this land.

"No, you go back and eat by yourself. If nothing happens after you finish, come and find me." I'll give you a reward. The little guy has worked hard all morning and can't just give me two candies.

"Well, goodbye sister!" The little guy ran faster than a rabbit, probably because he was worried about his grandma at home.

Jiang Mingyue felt a little emotional. There were many children who were pampered by their grandma, but some of them were completely ungrateful and would throw tricks, punches and kicks on their grandma. Although Jixiang and his grandma had poor material conditions, Jixiang's filial piety was rarely seen.

If someone can compare with you, this is the most precious wealth.

Jiang Mingyue opened the courtyard door and went in. As soon as she bolted the door, she heard footsteps behind her.

"Back?"

Only then did Jiang Mingyue's tense nerves relax, "I thought you didn't come back like this!"

Yan Jinzhi held the person in hand, "Did you just think a thief came in?"

"Isn't it?"

"Don't worry, no one dares to come in."

"Are there security guards?" If that's the case, it would be better for her to come less often.

"No, the guards are following me. Wherever I am, they are there."

Jiang Mingyue understood that this meant that she could only leave when he was away, otherwise it would be easy to leak.

"That's not the case. I asked them to stay outside the courtyard. They can't spy on everything in the courtyard. You can do whatever you want." He didn't want to restrain her. He couldn't allow anyone to ruin the reunion they had finally won.

"That's good! Have you eaten?"

Yan Jinzhi pinched her fingers gently, "What are you thinking about? Of course when I come back, I want to eat with you. I brought a food box here. I'll give you a taste of the food here."

Jiang Mingyue is a qualified sister. At this time, she does not forget her brother, "Xiaoran has no food to eat."

"I knew you would say that, let's go in and eat."

Entering naturally means entering space.

In addition to the food box, there was also a pot of butter tea. Jiang Mingyue poured three cups out, and took out highland barley cakes, clear mutton soup and dipping sauce from the food box. These were the three items, but the portions were sufficient, except for the initial discomfort.

, it tasted very delicious, Jiang Mingyue took out Xiaoran's portion.

The little guy was also very hungry at this time. He looked around and couldn't see his sister coming back. He regretted that he didn't cook because it was too late to do it now.

"What are you thinking about? Come to eat?" The person carrying the food box came out of the stone arch of No. 43. Xiaoran jumped out and was pleasantly surprised.

"Sister, are you back?"

"Well, are you hungry? Come and eat." Jiang Mingyue didn't explain much. Anyway, she told them about her request for leave, so it wouldn't be strange to play around. If she reached a tacit agreement not to come back for dinner, she mentioned it.

"Not hungry! Not hungry!"

Jiang Mingyue did not expose him and handed him the highland barley cake, "Have a try. I exchanged it with an uncle in private to see if you can get used to it."

Xiao Ran had a full stomach, but when he saw different cakes and butter tea that he had never seen before, all his attention was attracted. He couldn't wait to take a bite of the highland barley cake, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to drink it.

I took a big sip of butter tea and accepted it well.

Jiang Mingyue is not worried that he won't be used to it. If he can eat both, mutton in clear soup will definitely not be a problem.

"You go ahead and eat. Sister has already eaten. Make your own time after eating."

"Sister, where are you going?"

"I'm not going, I'm going to sleep, you hurry up and eat, it's all yours."

Xiaoran felt at ease now, and immersed himself in eating the fragrant mutton, taking a sip of the soup sprinkled with chopped green onion from time to time. He looked like a snack food at first glance.

"Is he used to eating?"

"Well, the kid is greedy and adapts well."

"That's good. Let's eat quickly."

"This tastes really good."

"It's good! My colleagues in the cooking class made it. We can't supply fresh vegetables over there, so these are often the only ones that are very boring."

"Then don't eat it. Leave it to us. I'll get you another portion."

"Is it convenient?"

"It's ready."

"Okay!" Yan Jinzhi was eager. There was nothing she could do there. Now that she could change the taste, she was the one who made it. Naturally, she was happy.

In the afternoon, Yan Jinzhi returned to the test base again, while Jiang Mingyue waited for Jixiang.

"Sister, where else do you want to go? I'll take you there."

"Jixiang, can I go to your house and have a look?"

The little guy was very happy and smiled brightly, "Of course, let's go, I will take you there now, you don't know, my grandma also wants you to go."

Jiang Mingyue put the basket on her back and locked the door.

"Sister, that is our clan leader."

At the end of a row of prayer wheels, an old man in local costume tied a prayer flag to a tree branch, praying to God for heavy rain soon.

"How long has it been since it rained here?"

Jixiang remembers this issue very clearly, "Ninety-one days. Sister, several water storage ponds in the village have dried up, and the livestock are rushing to the patriarch's family's reservoir to drink water. If God doesn't rain again, the patriarch's family will

The water storage ponds will also dry up."

Even the livestock ponds have dried up. What about the drinking water for the villagers? Also, after ninety-one days of storage, there must be a lot of microorganisms. Is it still safe to take the water?
