Chapter 64
Seeing that everyone was gone, Wang Sanlang also said a word to the village chief and went home. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info was still a little worried that Ye Yun and Doudou were at home, but when he saw that Bai and a few children were also there, he greeted Ye Yun, explained the situation, and left with the tools he needed. Because the village chief dug the ditch this time, all the men over the age of 16 in the village came over, so by the time Wang Saburo arrived, there were already a lot of people around the river.
"San Lang, you're here. Let's talk about how to get it, let's start now!" "Yes! Let's get started, finish it early and water it early." "That's it, the crops in the field can't afford to wait!" As soon as everyone saw Wang Sanlang's figure, they immediately surrounded him, and they didn't give Wang Sanlang a chance to speak at all.
"Okay, let's stop surrounding San Lang, let him talk! San Lang, everyone has been waiting for you for a while, although the people haven't arrived yet, but don't delay let's start first, hurry up and talk to everyone about how to dig!" Wang Erlang saw the distress gaze of his brother, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop the excited crowd, so as to give Wang Sanlang a chance to speak.
"Don't get excited, our land is not far from here, let's dig about half a meter from the riverbank. I'll draw out the route for you to dig the ditch in a moment, and each of you will dig a few meters, and I guess it's about the same. Wang Sanlang pointed to the fields about a mile upstream of the Li River and said to everyone.
"By the way, when we get to the field, we should dig the outlet a little narrower, about half a foot, so that the water will not be too strong and the crops will be washed away. Wang Sanlang suddenly remembered that if the water outlet was too big, it would be easy to rush to the crops, so he hurriedly turned around and reminded.
"Okay San Lang, everyone knows how to dig, you draw a line for everyone first, everyone can have a sense of proportion!" It was the third uncle Wang Yi who spoke, and the old people of his generation didn't have to come over, but because it was a major event in the village, many old people came over without worry. If this is done, everyone will not have to worry about watering the ground in the future.
"Okay, third uncle, I'll draw it now. Seeing that everyone understood, Wang Saburo picked up the hoe in his hand and began to walk from the river to the top of the ground, almost in a straight line down along the way, so it was quickly drawn.
Everyone saw that Wang Saburo had drawn the line, so they decided to excavate at a distance of five meters per person, because there were many people, so the workload was not large.
Everyone was not lazy, and they began to work after dividing their work areas. In about half an hour, the ditch connecting the fields was dug.
"San Lang, let's see if it's okay, if you can, we'll release the water. Seeing that the ditch was dug, even Wang Yi, who has always been calm, couldn't help but be a little nervous, let alone the younger generation.
"Third uncle, we haven't dug the water outlet in the field yet!" Wang Sanlang watched his always steady third uncle change his face with some amusement, he really didn't expect the third uncle to have such a day.
"Ahem, that's not in a hurry, each family is digging a water outlet near the ground. Wang Yi was a little embarrassed by everyone, coughed unnaturally twice, and then began to organize everyone to start work. And the village chief has been helped back by his grandson because of some heat stroke. I really don't understand, why is this village chief weaker than these old people!
"Alright, we're here. "I'm okay with this", "I'm too", "I can release water" After a while, everyone's chaotic shouts came from the field. Wang Sanlang saw that the people in the field began to wave on the bank of the river, and looked at the distance of half a meter with some nervousness. After settling down, success or failure was decided in one fell swoop, and with a few swings of the hoe, he opened the mouth of the river, and saw that the river water, which had been flowing all downstream, had forked, and a part of the river water had begun to rush into the ditch. Since I chose the upper reaches of the river, the channel was almost always downhill and there was no obstacle, so I happily began to flow down the ditch to the ground. Seeing that it was really done, Wang Sanlang dug the inlet a little bigger, and then walked down the channel to the ground.
"Ahh "Hey, you stupid boy, it's water in the ground, it's water in your house, you're going to cry when it's in water!" "That's it, this stupid boy. Ah, my field is starting to get water. "My field too!" As the first exclamation sounded, everyone began to shout one after another, and their voices were full of joy.
"San Lang, that's good, this time it's all up to you. Zhao Laohan said excitedly, with gratitude in his words. But the people in the village can also understand him, the old man is over half a hundred years old, his wife died early, and he raised his son with hard work. As a result, the son married a girl from the town and moved to the town, leaving only Zhao Laohan to live alone in the village, and the son has not come back for seven or eight years, and the old man is not allowed to go to the town to find him, so it doesn't matter whether this is there or not. Zhao Laohan was heartbroken by his son who grew up single-handedly, and he never went to see it again. In the past few years, he has been living on his own more than two acres of land, and after paying taxes every year, the rest is only enough for food and clothing. It is conceivable that if there is no Wang Sanlang's method, relying on Zhao Laohan to carry water and water the land by himself, it is estimated that there will not be much left after paying taxes this year, but this land is his only source of livelihood. Therefore, Zhao Laohan's gratitude to Wang Sanlang is completely heartfelt, and there is no falsehood.
"Uncle Zhao, don't say that, I didn't do anything. If everyone doesn't believe me, I can't help it, right?" Wang Sanlang was a little embarrassed by Lao Zhaotou's posture, but fortunately his face was not white, otherwise he could definitely see the blush.
"San Lang, don't shirk either, this is your credit. If it weren't for you this year, it would have been too late for us to water the crops little by little, and the harvest would have been reduced. ”
"That's it, thanks to you this time, I remember this feeling, and I'll talk about it if I have something in the future, and I will never shirk if I can help. ”
"Me too, come to my house for dinner in the evening, and let's have a good drink. ”
"Come to my house!" "Come to my house, come to my house" The already lively crowd is now even more lively, and everyone beckons Wang Sanlang to eat at home. Looking at the friendly smiling faces, Wang Sanlang felt warm in his heart, and the poker face that he had always maintained in front of outsiders also had a trace of cracking.
