Chapter Fifty-Three: A New Livelihood

Zhou Guangcai still didn't go to Chen's house in the end, his old face was so bad that he really couldn't go out.

He and Yu Min fought again, who won and who lost, outsiders don't know, anyway, in the end, his daughter-in-law took her son away with her son in front of everyone's onlookers and went back to her parents' house.

Yu Min's joke about taming his husband spread quickly in the town, Zhou Guangcai completely became the laughing stock of the town's mouth, the Zhou family was too ungrateful, and it was really immoral to treat the life-saving benefactor like this, and there were not a few people waiting to see the jokes around.

It's nothing for the Zhou family to lose face, but even the leaders of the town are also eating the first place.

In ancient times, when there was a case of immorality under the rule, the chief official had to be held accountable, either by grinding and investigating for several years, or by evaluating the performance and adjusting the file, and the punishment could not be said to be severe. To put it bluntly, if something happens, you won't be promoted, how can you get rich if you don't get promoted? Who will be an official if you can't get rich? Blocking people's money is like killing your parents, and this hatred is not insignificant.

It is a great joy that the champion in the city has appeared, and the champion Lang's righteousness and courage have been widely reported, which is the work of local parents' education, and the leaders on the education front are waiting to share the credit, who knows that the next day there will be a case of the Zhou family, and it will also be in the provincial newspaper, which will inevitably make some leaders feel uncomfortable.

The official level crushes people to death, the big leaders above are unhappy, and the small leaders below are naturally not happy, and the small leaders are unhappy, and the initiators will naturally be unlucky, and in the end, they will have to fall on the head of the Zhou family.

If the Zhou family deals with the beginning and end this time, and all parties explain the past, maybe the matter will be over, but if it is not handled well, let the public opinion make waves again, and these local parents and officials have a way to vent their anger for the Chen family and share the worries for the leaders of the city.

Of course, now it is not as strict as before, and what the Zhou family does is not enough to be punished, as long as Chen Qiaoshan is not investigated, no one can do anything to him, after all, the Zhou family is only a moral flaw, and has nothing to do with the law.

The bad thing is that the Zhou family is not a good family, everyone knows that the wholesale department makes money, but why can the Zhou family open the town, the brick kiln factory is very profitable, but why does it fall into the hands of the Zhou family, the twists and turns behind this can not be hidden from the people who have a heart.

Zhou Guangcai is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he is still very smart, otherwise it would be impossible to become a rich man from a butcher, but smart people also have limitations, he doesn't know how strong the guiding ability of public opinion is, he is still dragging here, thinking that it is not too late to go to the Chen family in a few days to make amends, but unfortunately it is just his wishful thinking.

Chen Qiaoshan naturally didn't know anything about what happened to the Zhou family, but he could foresee the current predicament of the Zhou family.

Time is in a blink of an eye to July 1st, the weather is still sunny, there is no meaning of rain at all, the land at home has also been watered a round of water, but it can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket, just after the previous watering, the corn and soybeans planted the next day will wilt again, Chen's father and Chen's mother have a little sadness on their faces.

The Chen family does not have much land, and although they can't earn money in two seasons a year, the family is all pointing to the little bit in the field, so how can they get it if they go on like this?

Chen Qiaoshan is not very worried, he has been thinking about finding a job for the Chen family these days, looking at the dazzling sun outside the gate, he gradually has a plan in his heart.

"Dad, why don't we learn to drive!"

Chen Weiguo was a little inexplicable when he heard his son's words, "Why did you suddenly say this?"

"Don't you have nothing to do at home, if you don't go to study, it's a job!"

Tao Xiuying scolded with a smile: "You stinky boy, don't think about it as soon as it comes out, your father is about to become an old man, who can ask him to drive!

Chen Weiguo didn't speak, but he was obviously a little dissatisfied with Chen's mother's words, he was only forty-eight this year, barely in the prime of life, and he was said to be in his sixties, of course he was not happy.

Chen Qiaoshan retorted with a smile: "How can Dad be as old as you say, still young, now learn to drive to get a license, maybe we will buy a car and drive out for a ride when we go back?"

Chen's mother couldn't help but sigh: "Your father and I don't expect to buy a car in our lives, we are thankful for giving you brothers and sisters until we graduate from college, and we still have to survive!"

Chen Weiguo didn't squeak, but it seemed to be similar to Chen's mother's thoughts.

Parents are always thinking about their children, but they never think about themselves. Chen Qiaoshan suddenly remembered his parents in his previous life, and his heart throbbed, his parents in the two lives were so similar, and he was in a trance for a while, which made his desire to change the Chen family even more urgent.

The five elements of Henan Province are very short of gold, wood and water, there are no mineral deposits, and natural resources are also very scarce.

Although there is a big river flowing through the territory, but most areas are extremely short of water resources, there are many places like Chenjia, there is no water conservancy irrigation system nearby, basically they can only look at the sky for food, the drought is a little more serious, and there is nothing to do.

Chen Qiaoshan remembers that the nearby fields rely on groundwater for watering, and the wells are all dug manually, and the deepest is only about ten meters to the end, and there is not much water pumped at all.

Drilling deep wells should be the wisest choice at present, although there is no large water source nearby, but there is still deep groundwater, and he knows that the drought in Henan Province will be very serious in the next few years, especially around 2014, the drought for several consecutive years, the people are miserable.

If there is a demand, there will be a market, and if there is a shortage of water in the countryside, the demand for deep wells will not be less, and drilling wells should be a money-making business.

Chen Qiaoshan wanted to encourage Chen Weiguo to do the business of digging wells, but of course there were still many difficulties.

First of all, it is impossible to dig deep wells by hand, and drilling machines are indispensable, which is a large expense.

Secondly, you have to find a master who drills wells, just having a machine is definitely not enough, and you can't rely on blindness to find water veins, otherwise you will be really blind if you drill for a long time and the mud does not come out of the water, and the income from the well that comes out of the water is not enough to do the cost, and the joke will be big.

Don't underestimate the wisdom of the common people, looking for water veins is like metaphysics, but the layman looks at the liveliness, the insider looks at the doorway, that is the knowledge passed down by word of mouth among the people, and you can't always invite a geologist to dig a well in the countryside, so you have to find an experienced master.

Don't be unconvinced, people are also a craft, although they may not be able to tell the reason, but people can find water.

If you don't believe it, look at those tomb robbers, compared with professional archaeology, they must be very amateurish, but they have rich practical experience, and they can throw off professionals for ten streets.

The most difficult thing for Chen Qiaoshan is how to convince his family, Chen's mother is assertive, but she is a woman after all, Chen Weiguo has a silent personality, and he is really not suitable for dealing with people, but digging a well is a business of looking for work everywhere, and it is definitely not possible to stay at home.

He has been wondering in his heart, how to tell his family?
