Here, the old Shen family is building a house, and there is a big event from Captain Yang's mouth that the whole village is happy about, and the county well drilling team is coming.

Dig a well!

As soon as the news came out, the whole commune became excited.

For hundreds of years, there was only one well in Yongning Village, and that well was called the Sweet Water Well, and everyone went to line up to fetch water every day, and every summer, from morning to night, there was a queue at the well, because each family had to fill several water tanks.

Especially in the past ten years, the country's slogan is that more people have great power, more children, and production. There are more and more people in the village, there are more than a dozen people in every household, and they have to take a bath to cook, and the demand for water is only a little more. It's okay in winter, but it's in full supply in summer, everyone knows it, but there's no way around it. There was only one well in each village of the commune, and it was useless to complain.

Therefore, after the news that the county well-drilling team was coming, it was simply very exciting.

In the entire Yuqing County, there is only such a well-drilling team. Recently, the electricity has just been turned on, and I can get off the pump in the future, so I don't need to use the hand crank to pump the water anymore.

The well-drilling team comes to drill wells, of course, not for free, but for money. After the well-drilling team came, they first dug a well for the Qin family, and the people in the village came to see the excitement, and when they saw the clear water coming out, half of the people in the village were clapping, and some people were so excited that they shed tears.

Obviously, this is not your well......

But the people in the village are just happy.

That means there's no need to queue up for water right away!

But there were also a few bars who complained to Captain Yang, "Why does the well drilling team only dig wells for the Qin family, is it because they are cadres?"

Captain Yang explained: "It's not just for the Qin family, but the well drilling team found by Comrade Qin, Comrade Qin first used his own house to do experiments, and wanted to see how deep our village needs to dig wells, so as to leave a reference for you." ”

Immediately after, Captain Yang said to everyone, "If you want to dig a well, first write an application in the brigade and pay the money, and then go to your house to drill a well in order." ”

Drilling a well is not cheap, digging a well costs more than 100 yuan, some time ago selling trees, except for a few people who made a small fortune, most people only sold a dozen yuan, at most twenty or thirty yuan, when they heard the price of a well, everyone was discouraged.

There are always more ways than difficulties, and most of the families combined, and a large family decided to pool money to dig a well for their grandfather's family. It's better for everyone to go to the old house to fetch water, it's better than going to the sweet water well and queuing up.

The old Shen family also had a discussion about digging wells.

Even the eldest family came to the third family, and all the people, including the babies, sat together and discussed the matter of digging a well.

This is a habit left over from the old Shen family, the parents are in charge of small things, and the whole family is here to discuss big things, including the children, and the babies don't have to speak when they are young.

The only advantage of this habit is that the children of the old Shen family grew up in an extremely democratic and harmonious family, and the parents rarely put on the face of their elders to bully others. The babies also have a clear understanding of the situation at home since childhood. Know that life is not easy.

Dong Lixia secretly asked Shen Zhiqiang: "Do we want to dig a well?" ”

Shen Zhiqiang said in a low voice: "The well is definitely needed, but the point is whether there is any money left." ”

Yang Caimei was the first to raise her hand and was very decisive: "Our family wants a well." ”

Shen Zhiyong saw that the third family was so active, and quickly raised his hand: "Our family also needs a mouthful." ”

"We're on the other side of the door, so let's take a bite too. Shen Zhipeng immediately said, "Mom, there is a house under construction in your old house, so let's dig the well by the way." ”

Before Zheng Maozhen could speak, Old Shen pondered for a while, and said to Shen Zhiyong and Shen Zhiming: "The second and third families are next door, and they only need to dig one well, and the next two pumps can save some money." ”

Shen Zhiyong and Shen Zhiming glanced at each other, and such a good thing is equivalent to only half of the money paid by the two families.

"We don't dig wells, just come back to the third family to fetch water. Zheng Maozhen said.

The big girl asked, "Milk, why?" ”

Xiao Shen Jiao also looked at the milk curiously, but she didn't make a sound.

She really wants to eat her own well water.

Zheng Maozhen touched Xiao Shen Jiao's head: "At that time, only the two of us will be left, and we won't be able to eat much water." ”

"If the fifth child comes back, after he marries his daughter-in-law, there is no well at home, and it is not convenient. Shen Zhiming also said.

Zheng Maozhen said: "I don't know if I won't leave when I come back this time, or what will happen in the future, and I'll talk about it when he comes back." Anyway, if you dig wells in the future, you can also write an application to the team, and the well drilling team will come. ”

Mom said it very reasonably, and the sons were silent.

Lao Shen took a puff of the cigarette pouch pot and said, "That's the old family, the third family and the fourth family dig three wells, right?"

Zhang Fengying hugged Qiniu and muttered in a low voice: "More than 400 yuan......

"Money is a trivial matter, people live, and in the end, money will always be spent. Water is to be eaten every day, which is a hard money to be spent and cannot be saved. Dig a well, figure your own home for decades after convenience. Zheng Maozhen was very open-minded.

When everyone heard it, they immediately felt that what their mother said was very reasonable.

After the meeting, everyone went to the brigade to pay the money and write the application, only Xiao Shen Jiao ran to the milk body, hugged the milk's calf, and coquettishly: "Milk, I don't want you and grandpa to carry water every day." ”

Zheng Maozhen rubbed her head: "Little fool." Lifting water is effortless. ”

Xiao Shen Jiao pouted: "But the milk is slowly getting old, and when she is old, she can't lift it, so it's more convenient to dig a well, that's what the milk said, and it's convenient for yourself." ”

Zheng Maozhen said: "Grandma wants to save some money for our family Jiaojiao, and when you go to school in the future, I will buy you a good one." ”

"Milk!" Xiao Shen Jiao looked at Zheng Maozhen and said in a small milk voice: "Jiaojiao will make money in the future, earn a lot of money, and don't need milk to save me money." ”

Zheng Maozhen pondered for a moment and gritted her teeth: "Okay, then listen to Xiaofubao, and also dig a well for the old house, and you can come and live with your grandmother at any time when the time comes." The draft is also convenient. ”

She knew that if she didn't dig a well for the old house, I was afraid that this little guy would make trouble.

Xiao Jiaojiao is here, and their family must go to the well. Make her more comfortable.

So Zheng Maozhen went to the brigade with everyone and paid the money.

The sons are happy for their mother.

Now that the family is doing well, it would be so happy if my parents could enjoy happiness in their old age.

When the people in the back were filling out the form, when they saw the names in front of the roster, they were all wondering who had drilled the well and who had not, but when they swept Shen XX who had slipped away, they couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

"This Shen Yuanxiu family really made a fortune last time, it's really rich, the sons dig a well for each family, hundreds of yuan, it's really extravagant!"

"Whoever makes the family rich, it must be more convenient to dig a well and drink water for their own family. ”

......

Everyone who speaks has a sour tone!

When Liang Jinping saw the number of wellheads of the old Shen family, his whole face was distorted for a second.
