Chapter 18: Water?
Dr. Wang left satisfied, and Guoguo also felt sorry for making the family worried. { Sui } { Dream } novel щ ww{mеng] [lā} This disease, I was sick for two days.
In fact, the next day, Shi Lei sent the snake skin over, but Cao'er didn't pick it up, saying that he was embarrassed to ask for his things.
Cao'er's eyes were red because of crying, and she didn't go out for two days, and it was all Qingshu who went to fetch water. Qingshu is a boy after all, and he won't talk back, and those who love to talk about it, when they see Qingshu, the rumors are becoming more and more strict. In less than two days, the Fang family's reputation was all one-sided: bad luck! Whoever gets it is unlucky.
Qingshu really wanted to reason with them, but he couldn't quarrel, and his mouth was very bitter. I also know more and more how hard it is for my sisters to endure these people in their hearts.
Since then, no matter what, Qingshu has taken over the work of carrying water at home. He didn't let the grass come to the well to wash things, he took it all to the stream to wash, but it really didn't work, so he went to fetch water and came back to wash vegetables in the yard or something. The grass also faintly heard some gossip in the mouths of the children who were playing, so it followed the green tree.
Fang Yuqian has been weaving baskets at home, and he didn't let Liang get up, but let her keep them. "Cao'er Niang, although it is difficult at home now, but the body is important, don't be stubborn, listen to me!" The Liang family really wanted to go out and continue to open up the wasteland, but when they heard Fang Yuqian's sigh and complaint, they rested. The couple sat in the corridor, embroidering and weaving baskets, looking at each other from time to time, but they were also peaceful.
Qingshu didn't need to be reminded by the fruit, so he knew that he would go to pick honeysuckle in the morning and get the medicine money in the pharmacy. Dr. Wang didn't agree, but still gave the money. Therefore, the Fang family has still gained a lot in the past few days.
Two days later, Shi Lei came to the door again. But this time, in addition to holding the snakeskin, he also carried a hare. He went directly to the door, put something and said to Fang Yuqian: "Uncle Fang, this is an axe, a chisel, and a planer, which I made in a hurry today." Shall I exchange these tools for water in your pond? ”
The people of the Fang family looked at each other, not knowing what to do. When Guoguo came out, he realized that the Fang family's puddle had now filled a large pool of water.
"Since you helped dig it, if you want to use it, use it! Uncle Fang can't ask for this tool. The crops in the field are all starting to tassel, right? Fang Yuqian said honestly.
But Shi Lei is also an honest man, seeing that Fang Yu refused to accept the money, he was so anxious that the scars on his face became even more hideous. Cao'er looked at it and felt a little hairy in her heart.
"Dad, let's do it anyway. I'll give Brother Shi a saw, and use that to exchange for these tools. Brother Shi, can you find another way to help my father get a tape measure and an ink fountain? In this way, it is only natural for you to use our water. After observing during this period of time, Guoguo found that there was no saw in this era. Although the edge of the knife looks crooked, the saw is indeed very practical, so no one loses.
Shi Lei is very good at grasping key words, and after listening to Guoguo's words, he immediately looked at her suspiciously: "Saw? ”
"Hmm. A tool similar to a long knife that is used to cut things very quickly. Guoguo took a stick at random and drew it on the ground, explaining as she painted. From Fang Yuqian and Shi Lei's quiet and deep eyes, she saw the affirmation, so she proudly said to Fang Yuqian: "Dad, look, if this sawsaw brother Shi sells it, he can also earn some money back!" ”
Fang Yuqian nodded: "Eh, I still have to thank my nephew Shi." "As a carpenter, I don't have the tools to do carpentry, it's really humiliating.
Shi Lei was very happy when he heard this, put down his things and prepared to stride.
Guoguo stopped him: "What are you going to do with the water?" ”
"Our land is not far from there, and if we open an opening, we will soon be able to flow into the ground." Shi Lei is not surprised.
"I'll go and see Aoki too!" Guoguo knows that flood irrigation is time-consuming and water-intensive, and if you can, using bamboo as a water pipe is much faster and less wasteful.
After all, there were many ancestors sleeping on the Fang family's ancestral mountain, and although the location was not very remote, almost no one came over at ordinary times. So when everyone was busy trying to find a way to water the ground, they didn't realize that there was such a large pool of water quietly stored here.
Guoguo called Qingshu, but Cao'er just glared at her, but didn't stop her.
The puddle in Guoguo's house is about five acres wide, and after only two days and two nights, it has been filled with about one meter of water.
"I was passing by yesterday." Shi Lei said.
But Guoguo could hear from these simple words: I passed by yesterday, so I knew that there was water here, and I thought of using it to water the ground.
"Is that your land?" Guoguo pointed to a piece of land at the bottom of the mountain and asked, "How many acres?" ”
"Two acres. The lower one is six acres, and the east is ten acres. Shi Lei said as he pointed to his home's land, "It's just right to go down from here." ”
Guoguo looked at it, indeed. The puddle in my house is on the high side, and if the water wants to flow into the ground, all you need to do is dig a canal.
"But whose house is that land? Is he willing to let you dig in? "If you don't want to, Guoguo won't be very happy. She doesn't want to be a good person right now.
Shi Lei probably also thought of this problem and said, "I will use bamboo pipes." ”
This idea coincides with Guoguo's.
As soon as he said he would do it, Shi Lei quickly called his younger brother Shi Jian to go up the mountain to cut bamboo. Aoki also went over to help. Shi Lei came out of such a big battle, and this large pool of turquoise and clear water was discovered.
Da Zhuang ran sweating: "Guoguo, my family also needs water, I wanted to go to Uncle Fang in the evening, but I didn't think that Brother Shi was one step earlier." ”
Guoguo was a little puzzled.
Da Zhuang smiled while wiping his sweat: "That night, when you left, I enlarged the opening again, and also raised the edges, don't believe it, you see-"
"Guoguo, I, I originally wanted to ・・・・・・" Da Zhuang's swarthy face suddenly reddened, and the sweat seemed to be rubbing more and more, and he suddenly stiffened his neck: "My family's land is also under Brother Shi's house, and it happens to be our family's turn to water his family." I don't use your water for nothing, I know there is a lot of wood in this puddle, how about I dig it out for you and carry it back? ”
Da Zhuang patted his chest sincerely, as if if Guoguo didn't agree, he would do what he wanted.
"Big brother, you mean to say, you know we dug up the water that night? And then dig big? "Fruit is unexpected.
Da Zhuang tilted his head to the side a little unnaturally, and his feet moved unconsciously, and suddenly he felt his throat itch dry, and he whispered: "I, I saw the grass digging the ground that day, hand, hand-"
"Big Brother." Guoguo coughed, "Then you go and help dig the bamboo, it's faster than repairing the canal." Later, speak—"
"I know." Da Zhuang immediately straightened up, "Guoguo, you can rest assured!" As soon as he spoke, he ran to join Shi Lei and them.
