169: Experiment (2)

Gu Qingming woke up early and walked around the courtyard.

After a while, she saw her grandmother walk out of the woodshed and pick up an empty plastic bucket.

"Grandma!" Gu Qingming called out to her grandmother. "What are you going to do? To fetch water?"

"Fetching water? There's water at home. There's no need to go outside to fetch it," Grandma Shi said. "It hasn't rained for a few days. I plan to water the vegetables. The vegetables and sweet potatoes planted a few days ago have to be watered. Otherwise, they'll dry out!"

Gu Qingming immediately said with interest, "Grandma, I'll go with you!"

Grandma Shi knew that her granddaughter was curious about everything, so she nodded. "Okay, let's go together!"

Grandma Shi carried the bucket and walked in front, followed by Gu Qingming.

Gu Qingming asked curiously, "Grandma, where is the planting place this time?"

"Hehe, it's a little far this time." Grandma Shi chuckled and said, "However, there's not much land there. There are only two lines of land. One line is planted with cabbages, and the other line is planted with sweet potatoes."

"Why aren't the fields near the families that own them?" Gu Qingming asked. "Isn't it quite troublesome to work here and there?"

...

Grandmother explained with a smile, "In '82, when this place was divided into solo fields, they were all drawn by drawing lots. Because there are good and bad fields, it's impossible to allocate the good ones to one family and the bad ones to another. Therefore, the good lands and dry lands were divided according to the population of each family. Then, they were distributed by drawing lots."

Gu Qingming nodded and said, "Oh, so that's how it is. It would be more convenient to work when the lands are together!"

"Haha, in this case, who would be willing? If they were allocated good fields, they would definitely be happy. Then, if they were allocated bad fields, they would definitely not be willing," Grandma Shi said with a smile.

The two chatted as they walked.

After walking for about fifteen minutes, they arrived under a big maple tree.

"This is a maple tree!" Gu Qingming knew ordinary trees. "Grandma, this maple tree is so big!"

This maple tree was really huge.

The trunk was very thick. It would probably take two people holding hands to hug it.

The dense maple leaves were dense and layered.

From afar, it looked like a big mushroom. A big green mushroom.

"It's said that this maple tree is three hundred years old," Grandma Shi said. "There's a small temple built under the maple tree where the Five Grains God is worshipped. Therefore, this place is called the temple. Every first and fifteenth day, someone will bring tribute to the Five Grains God. Ming'er, do you want to take a look?"

...

"Yes, let's go take a look!" Gu Qingming said with interest.

Grandma Shi said with a serious expression, "Ming'er, you have to respect the temple, understand?"

She knew that children who had received modern education like Ming'er would definitely not bother if they were asked to worship the temple.

However, the temple had a legacy of a thousand years. Even if modern people didn't believe in gods, they had to show their respect.
