Volume 1 Chapter 126 Water Divert
Thinking about it, Qin Mo went home in a good mood all the way...,
"Giggles..."Before arriving at the path outside the courtyard of his home, Qin Mo heard the soft and immature sound of teasing chickens, and Qin Mo took a closer look.
I saw the fragrance of the safflower padded jacket outside the chicken fence, the chubby body, half-squatting, holding the food bowl that used to feed the chickens, and the expression and movements were very focused on feeding the chickens.
The twenty or so chicks have grown to the size of a bowl, and after all, three months have passed in a flash.
The chicks are half the size of their size.
"Sister." Because it was sideways to the fence, Xiangxiang's afterglow caught a glimpse of Qin Mo's figure, and when she looked up, she really saw Qin Mo standing in the courtyard, her little round face was huddled together with a smile, and she shouted happily, 'Sister'.
Seeing that Qin Mo was also smiling at her, he ran over with chicken food.
It's just that I haven't seen each other for most of the day, and when I see the child like this, I have a sense of peace of mind in my heart...
"Are you fed the chickens?"
Xiangxiang happily pounced on Qin Mo's body with the basin of food, Qin Mo grabbed her upper body with one hand, no matter what, he was nominally five years older than Xiangxiang, and then Xiangxiang's size was only on Qin Mo's stomach, Qin Mo half-hugged Xiangxiang like a mother
in their arms.
"Uh-huh.!" As soon as she heard Qin Mo's question, the little girl nodded like garlic, "The chickens are all fed!" ”
Qin Mo breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Xiangxiang, "That's fine, maybe in two months, we'll have eggs to eat every month-!" ”
More than 20 chickens, if they can receive more than 10 or 20 eggs every day, they can't eat them all, and the money from selling them can be used to subsidize the family.
"yes. All right... Egg. When the chicks grow again, Xiangxiang can eat eggs! ”
The little girl's little face was full of joy, and her little mouth cheered.
Qin Mo rubbed the little girl's head dotingly...

I'm going to start building a house in the spring, and since I got in touch with the village chief after this time, I feel much more down-to-earth about building a house in Chishui Village this time...
It's just that this repair of the house requires a craftsman, and when the time comes, water is indispensable for mud and tea cooking.
Moreover, there are many people who invite this, and this water is naturally used a lot every day.
Qin Mo is still worried about this...
*
In the blink of an eye, it is February, in February, every household wants to plant spring wheat, but in this February, Chishui Village has a big drought again, the water in the ditch is used up, and some people carry a flat shoulder day and night to walk dozens of miles to the village within a radius of dozens of miles to get water, and there is
and went up the hill to fetch it...
Chishui Village is backed by this big mountain, because of the topography, affecting the wind direction, the other side of the slope rains all year round, this side is always dry, so the slope of the mountain is full of dry land plants - aloe vera, until halfway up the mountain there are forests, there is water...
The pond on the mountainside of Chishui Village, although it is not big, but for many years, even if the dry land at the foot of the mountain is cracked, this half of the pond has always stored half a pond of water, which may be God's favor for the villagers of Chishui Village...
This may be the reason why Chishui village is often hit by drought, but the villagers still refuse to move out.
On weekdays, there are many people who carry water up the mountain, and they don't need to make much effort, but if they want to irrigate the fields from this halfway up the mountain, unless there is labor at home, ordinary people can't do this work.
And Qin Mo's mother died of exhaustion in the first place...
Qin Mo suddenly realized that his portal had a strong need for water.
There were no plastic pipes in ancient times, thinking about it, Qin Mo finally wanted to take a way to try it, whether it was in the future or now, the supply of this water must be solved.
Although this method is a bit shocking, once successful, it can solve the water needs of itself and even the villagers of Chishui Village.
In ancient times, there were no plastic pipes, and the tools, shapes, and existing things that could replace pipes were the most similar to bamboo.
At the foot of the mountain behind Qin Mo's eaves, there is a large pile of bamboo, the pole of the bamboo is thick, the skin is thin, as long as the middle is opened, it is something like a pipe.
Each bamboo is about four or five meters long, remove the narrow place of the head, and the joint is connected from end to end, so you are not afraid of the problem of water leakage...
Although the elevation of this half-mountain is several hundred meters above sea level, replacing the pipes with bamboo is a big project, but once it is successful, the villagers will be able to use water under the mountain, once and for all.
*
Qin Mo thought about it and went to the village to discuss, after all, this was not something that he could accomplish.
If everyone contributes a little bit, then in the end, the project can be completed well, which is not good for anyone...
Qin Mo thought about it, and went to Liu Da, Liu Er, Li Er's aunt, Li Da's aunt, Hu Da Hu and Hu Lao San in the village, a total of five brothers' houses. Anyone else with the surname Huang and Yang has gone...
But firstly, it is close to spring ploughing, there are many busy people, and there is no labor at home, and secondly, in the eyes of these people, Qin Mo is always a child, because Qin Mo has made money, and he is not very happy to be known by those residents, so not many people listen to Qin Mo's words, they just think that this is a little girl, whimsical.
Although the water is halfway up the mountain, the altitude is still not low, and it is really necessary to use bamboo to drink water, the method is feasible, how much bamboo is used, and how much manpower is needed.
Qin Mo originally planned to find people from most of the village to help, but as a result, he only found a few of them, who were still relatively familiar with them, and they were all pushed out by various excuses.
Qin Mo knew that this method of using the strength of the whole village was not advisable...
Since this is the case, Qin Mo will find a way to do it himself...
Indeed, in this village, almost all of them have one, half a laborer, only their own family, two girls, and she is a child under the age of ten who goes halfway up the mountain on weekdays.
But this day looks like it's going to be dry again, and the fields are about to crack...
Spring planting is naturally not possible, even if you usually want to plant some vegetables.
Don't plant the land, just rely on the income from the sales of meat and dozens of boxes of aloe vera gel per month that were contracted with the restaurant before, this is definitely not good, this house is repaired, and the income from meat deduction is now getting less and less, and finally you will have to drink the northwest wind...
Solving the problem of water use is especially important to Qin Mo, even if others are not willing to work together, she must first solve the problem of taking water by paying someone to help.
