Taking action right away, the village chief immediately went to find Liu Yang and asked him to help inform the others.
Jiang Hu first sent Xiao Mi home, then headed to the village chief's house for the meeting.
Meanwhile, Xiao Xue had just finished her embroidery pattern and was preparing to go out with her second aunt.
"Xiao Mi, we're going to dig for grass roots, do you want to come along?"
Xiao Xue held a dustpan, ready to dig grass roots to feed the bamboo rats. The four bamboo rats had not been affected by the drought at all and had even grown fat.
"I want to go!" Xiao Mi eagerly followed, "Where are we digging today? The wheat in the fields has all dried up. Will the grass roots have died too?"
"Xiao Mi girl, grass roots aren't so easy to kill. They're quite resilient," Aunt Yang said, carrying a hoe, ready to join them.
Xiao Mi looked around: "Grandma Yang, where are Grandpa Liu and Uncle Qi Xi?"
