Just one pregnancy and four babies, but the prince actually pledged his love to her

"The method is very simple. We can build a bamboo pipe to bring in water, and then we can build a pond to store the water."

"But digging a big pond is not that easy. It would take at least five or six days for the whole village to complete it." Village chief Wang raised the question.

"I will make some tools to improve efficiency, and the digging will be completed in three days at most." Li Mengyue said confidently.

“What tool can speed up digging?”

"Look, I told you, we still need to set up more bamboo pipes. I'll go cut the bamboo now."

"Wait for me, I'll go too."

"I heard from Li Mengyue that the bamboo pipes will be delivered to every village this time. It seems that there will be a lot of bamboo needed."

"What's the big deal? There is still a large bamboo forest. The bamboo we cut is just a drop in the bucket. It won't cause any impact."

Seeing that many villagers went home to get things to cut bamboo, the village heads arranged people to cut bamboo and clear the river.

There are so many things to do now, not to mention the young people, even the old guys can't sit still.

However, even though they are busy all day long, both Village Chief Li and the other six village chiefs are willing to do it.

After all, they know that if they are busy, they will be rewarded, and people may not starve to death during this cold winter.

Thinking of this, the village heads became extremely excited and didn't want to delay any longer. They just said hello to Li Mengyue and left.

Then Li Mengyue called Li Erniu, Li Nian and Li Yan.

"Boss, do you want to tell us something?" When Li Nian heard Li Mengyue's voice, he ran over and said excitedly.

"Ah."

Li Mengyue nodded.

"I called you over here to help cut down some trees."

"Oh, what do I think? Boss, tell me how thick a tree you want, and I'll go up the mountain right away."

Li Nian agreed without any hesitation. Just kidding, haven’t you seen that the village chiefs of the seven villages all listen to the boss? Of course he has to cling to the boss.

"Boss, don't worry, leave it to us. We guarantee that we will do a great job." Li Erniu guaranteed directly.

"And me, and me." Li Yan also hurriedly expressed his determination.

Seeing that the three were eager to perform, Li Mengyue said slowly, "I am going to make six pulley sets. It requires a lot of trees. I am afraid that you three may not be able to finish the work by noon today. You can find more people to come over. Each person will be paid ten cents."

"Boss, let me ask you one more thing, is the pulley you mentioned made for digging pits and ponds in the six villages?"

Seeing Li Yan's curious look, Li Mengyue gave a definite answer.

"Yes."

"Boss, since it's for six villages, we will communicate with the other villages and ensure that the trees are well taken care of. We will just pretend we didn't hear anything about the ten cents or anything like that."

"Li Yan is right. Boss, you are doing this for the sake of everyone. It is also for the purpose of quickly digging the pond and diverting water to irrigate the land. How can we take your money?" Li Nian also said.

"I think so too. Boss, you don't have to talk about money." Li Erniu also quickly refused to ask for money.

Seeing that everyone really didn't want any money and was willing to work, Li Mengyue felt very relieved.

After all, everything she did was for the villagers, as Li Nian said.

Although she is not short of money, she cannot give money casually. It is not that she is stingy, but she cannot let the villagers develop the habit of getting something for nothing.

After all, no matter what era it is, if you help too many people, it is easy to end up with a situation where you are grateful for what you have done and resented for what you have done.

She will help the villagers improve their living conditions. On the one hand, she needs to be grateful, and on the other hand, she is very satisfied with Xinghua Village and feels good about it as a place for retirement.

The most important thing is that she wants to create a good living environment for the babies, so that when the babies are born, they don’t have to live a hard life.

Although her presence will definitely not let the baby suffer, she will do her best to transform Xinghua Village within her ability so that every day can be fulfilling and not so boring.

"Okay, even if you don't pay me, I still want to give everyone a meal. Come to my house for dinner after work."

"Okay, thank you boss, I'll go find someone right away." Li Erniu was really missing the Li family's food. When he thought about having delicious food again today, his mouth opened so wide that it almost reached his ears.

"I'll go as well."

Soon after, Li Nian and Li Yan followed.

After solving the tree problem, Li Mengyue thought about making a pulley and needed a blacksmith to make some things, so she decided to go to town.

Before leaving, I thought of my three younger brothers who were in school, so I prepared to bring some food with me as lunch for them.

Li Mengyue did what she said. When she returned home, she saw her mother, Aunt Li and others busy dealing with locusts.

After calculating the time, the locust plague outbreak time predicted by the system is getting closer and closer, less than half a month.

Once a locust plague breaks out, it will bring immeasurable losses to people.

You should know that wherever locusts pass, not a single leaf will be left behind, let alone the crops in the fields.

It seems that all the crops must be harvested within half a month, otherwise there will be no harvest.

Thinking of the villagers in Xinghua Village and the six villages, if the crops in the fields are destroyed, they may not survive the winter.

She felt nervous. It seemed that within three days, every field in the village would have to be irrigated so that the rice grains could grow fuller.

Even if we have to harvest early, it is better than not seeing a single grain of rice.

Because she knew very well that even in preparation for the locust plague, she had made a lot of preparations in advance and killed a lot of locusts and eggs, so that the number of locusts appearing in the seven villages would be less.

But she only knew that the drought covered a very wide area and the locust plague area was also very large, and she could not accurately know how much area was covered.

In this way, no matter how well prepared the seven villages were, they could not avoid the arrival of locusts.

After all, locusts are alive. They move in swarms and at a very fast speed, and they cannot be resisted by human power.

Another point is that during a locust plague, the locusts are poisonous. If you are bitten or entangled by them, you will be seriously injured if not killed.

Thinking of this, Li Mengyue immediately said: "Mom, come here, I have something to tell you."

Li, who was frying locusts, heard her daughter calling her and hurriedly handed the thing in her hand to Li Dazhu's mother.

"Mrs. Dazhu, you blow it up first. I'll see what Yueyue wants me to do."

"Go quickly, don't let Yue wait anxiously."

Li nodded, walked to the basin of clean water, squatted down to wash her hands, took out a handkerchief from her lapel, wiped her hands clean, and then hurried to Li Mengyue.

"Yueyue, what's wrong? Why do you want to see mother?"

Li Mengyue told the story that Li Erniu, Li Yan and Li Nian took people up the mountain to cut trees and planned to have dinner at home after finishing the work.

"Okay, Mom will prepare the food right away, and they can eat when they come down the mountain."

"Okay, thank you, mother."

"Why be so polite to mother?" After saying this, Li turned around and went to the kitchen.

"Mother, wait a minute."

"What's wrong, Yueyue, is there anything else?"

"Ah."
