Chapter 73 The Poor Little One Killed by His Uncle 29
When the villagers knew that Yuanchun could make vermicelli, they all shamelessly came to the team leader's house to learn. After they learned it, they went home and made it themselves.

So, a few days later, the yards of every household in Xiaxi Village were filled with fans.

In the spring of 60, the old village chief led the villagers to reclaim acres of wasteland and planted sweet potatoes.

Afterwards, the old village chief organized the villagers to plant hundreds of acres of sweet potato vines on the mountain. The brigade also organized a militia to patrol the mountain, for fear that the sweet potatoes on the mountain would be destroyed by wild boars.

The weather in 60 was even drier than that in 59. It only rained three times in the whole year, and all of them were just drizzles. The ground didn't even get wet, and then the rain stopped.

At the beginning of spring, the ground was dry and cracked, and the villagers had to carry water to irrigate the land before they could plant the crops. After that, the villagers were not afraid of hard work, and they carried water every day to irrigate the land and grow the seedlings...

Fortunately, the river outside the village never dries up no matter how much water is used, and it feeds the villagers of dozens or even hundreds of villages.

By 61, more and more villages knew that there was a river here that would not dry up. Villagers from dozens of miles away came to fetch water, using ox carts to pull water to irrigate the fields every day, which could save some food...

During the three-year disaster, many people starved to death in other places, but within a hundred miles of Xiaxi Brigade, not a single person starved to death, and grain was harvested every year.

This attracted the attention of the people above.

Not long after, some departments above sent people to secretly investigate the matter of rivers and lakes. After Yuanchun got the news from 007, he went to the mountain and put the water pump into the space.

Anyway, it was already the autumn of 61, and the harvest would be here in a month. The drought year was almost over, and the pump was no longer needed.

However, seeing the water pump occupying a small half of the jade gourd space, Yuanchun found it an eyesore no matter how she looked at it, so she decisively moved the water pump to the system space.

007: "..."

"Host, I'm so squeezed that I have no place to stand."

"Do you have feet?"

It has no feet.

It's just a system.

But it is also a conscious and thoughtful system. "Host, you can buy a 100 cubic meter space to store it." It suggested weakly.

Yuanchun replied confidently, "It has a place to go, why should I waste that point, not to mention I still owe the debt."

007: "..."

Well, leave it here. At worst, it will use the pump pipe as an underground toy.

A few days later, Yuanchun went to the mountain to pick mushrooms and saw several groups of strangers looking for something on the mountain. Some of them were holding small and exquisite instruments in their hands, detecting something.

She didn't dare to get closer, and she quietly walked away before the other party noticed her.

After all, it was quite strange for a thirteen-year-old girl to appear deep in the mountains.

She didn't want anyone to suspect that there was anything special about her.

For the next month, Yuanchun did not go into the mountains again. She just followed her friends in the village to pick grass for pigs outside the mountains and earn work points.

Perhaps because she had eaten well in recent years, Yuanchun grew very fast. She was 1.5 meters tall at the age of thirteen. In that era when everyone was hungry, her height was considered tall.

Liu Yuzhu, who was one year younger than her, was only 1.3 meters tall, half a head shorter than her. She was dark and thin, completely different from the tall, plump person she was in her previous life.

In this life, without her money to support her and her hardworking housework, Liu Yuzhu is no longer the little princess darling of her uncle and aunt.

She heard from her aunt that Liu Yuzhu was the one doing all the housework in her second uncle's house.

Ever since Ge Cuilan injured her leg, Liu Yuzhu, who was only six years old that year, forced her to learn how to cook and wash clothes... After that, Ge Cuilan's leg healed, and Liu Yuzhu was still the one doing the housework.

Liu Yuzhu completely took over the position of the original owner in the previous life.
