In addition to the work in the fields, digging wells is also urgent. During this time, she and Xu Jinniang had to go to the well in the middle of the village every morning to fetch water and bring it back, which was really tiring. Now that you have the money in your hand, it is the right way to dig a well as soon as possible.

But she and Xu Jinniang knew too little about digging wells, so after thinking about it, they still took twenty eggs and ran to Tong Shan for help.

When Tong Shan heard about it, he enthusiastically told them that there was a team in Wujia Village, next door to Qingshan Village, that specialized in digging wells, and that they had drilled wells in several surrounding villages. However, he refused to accept any of the eggs brought by Tong Chuxue, saying that it was a trivial matter, and how to accept them for no reason.

The two parties were at a stalemate, and in the end, Tong Shan's wife took it and left the two to have a meal at home.

Tong Shan told them that a well costs about two taels of silver, the same as what Wu Zhenzhen said last time. Two taels of silver is just a sprinkler of water for the current Tong Chuxue, and there is no pressure.

Soon, Tong Chuxue made a decision with Tong Shan and asked Tong Shan to help invite people over.

The team over there quickly agreed, but also put forward some conditions, because they were working outside the village, so Tong Chuxue had to prepare a place for them to live.

This is not difficult, the lease period of the Locke family's house that was rented at the beginning has not yet arrived, and it is just enough for the team to dig wells to live.

Three days later, the team of digging the well came, and the leader was a tall, strong, dark-skinned man, who was said to be the son of his father's business, named Wu Jianbin , and the whole team was a total of six people.

According to Wu Jianbin said, the terrain conditions are different in each place, and the most important thing in drilling a well is to find a suitable place to produce water.

Regarding this matter, Tong Chuxue is a complete layman, so he simply handed over all the work to Wu Jianbin and went to find Wu Zhenzhen.

Although Wu Zhenzhen is Tong Shan's granddaughter, she is not from Qingshan Village, but from Wujia Village next door. It is said that when the young man from Wujia Village came to ask to marry Li Zheng's daughter, Li Zheng was reluctant in his heart, but his daughter was willing, so he had to reluctantly agree.

This time, Wu Zhenzhen went to live with her grandfather for a while because of the renovation of her family's house.

Tong Chuxue had nothing to do in the past few days, so he took Wu Zhenzhen and went to the back mountain together.

Today is considered lucky, they dug up a lot of wild vegetables in the mountains, and when they go back in the evening, they can make some wild vegetables and eat with flour.

"Chu Xue, how is your well?" Wu Zhenzhen asked.

"I don't know, anyway, it's Uncle Wu who is in charge, when I asked, they said they were looking for Shuikou, but they didn't find it for two days." Tong Chu Snow Trail.

"Two days, impossible." Wu Zhenzhen's eyes widened in surprise, "Uncle Wu, they dig a well, and basically they can find a place in one or two hours, how can they find it for so long for two days." The craft of digging wells has been passed down from generation to generation in their family. ”

As soon as Wu Zhenzhen said this, Tong Chuxue also felt that something was wrong.

In the past two days, the team of digging wells has been going around the house all day long, making a wooden ruler to point around, and I don't know what they are doing. But they are so inefficient, don't they delay them from making other people's money?

"Chu Xue, you probably don't know that there are not many people in our villages who really want to dig wells, after all, a well costs two taels of silver, and not everyone can afford this money." Wu Zhenzhen explained to Tong Chuxue.

"What purpose will they have for deliberately dragging their feet." Tong Chuxue couldn't figure it out, and she wouldn't pay more for it.

At this moment, Wu Zhenzhen slapped her head suddenly, as if she remembered something, her expression was a little flustered, and she took Tong Chuxue's hand and was about to rush down the mountain.

Tong Chuxue didn't know why, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Wu Zhenzhen said very anxiously, "I suddenly remembered that Wu Jianbin is not a good person in our Wujia Village, but I have no contact with him, and I don't know much, but I have vaguely heard others mention it before, and he is a little - lustful." ”

Lascivious?

Tong Chuxue instantly understood Wu Zhenzhen's worries, there is only Xu Jinniang alone in the family now, if something happens-

Thinking of this, Tong Chuxue's heart was even more worried, and she unconsciously accelerated her pace and rushed home.

When the two of them ran to the door of the house out of breath, they saw Wu Jianbin standing at the door of the back kitchen, as if he was about to push the door in, and Xu Jinniang was cooking inside at this time.

"What are you doing!"

Wu Jianbin was already a bit of a thief, and when Tong Chuxue drank it, the whole person was frightened, and then smiled a little helplessly, "It's hot and thirsty, I'll ask for a bowl of water to drink." ”

Xu Jinniang inside heard the movement, opened the door, and heard Wu Jianbin say that he wanted to drink water, and was annoyed, "It's that I didn't think about it thoughtfully, on such a hot day, I will definitely be thirsty, come, I'll go and serve you a bowl of water." ”

Wu Jianbin smiled innocently, "Thank you, sister." ”

After speaking, he looked at Tong Chuxue and the others, and the moment he saw Wu Zhenzhen, Wu Jianbin was surprisingly surprised, "Zhenzhen? ”

Wu Zhenzhen nodded, "I'll come to live at my grandfather's house for a while." ”

"You...... Oh, I heard that your house has collapsed and is being rebuilt, so it's no wonder you came to live here. But I passed by your house that day, and the new house has been built, and I should be able to take you back soon. Wu Jianbin said.

"Is my house ready?" Wu Zhenzhen seemed to be a little incredulous.

Wu Jianbin nodded very affirmatively, "It's built, it's all from the same village, can I not know." I passed by your brother that day and was playing in the new yard. ”

Wu Zhenzhen listened, lowered her head, Tong Chuxue clearly saw flickering tears in her eyes, it seemed that she was a child born in a patriarchal family.

At this time, Xu Jinniang came out of the house with a bowl of water, "The water is here." ”

Taking advantage of this gap, Tong Chuxue asked, "Uncle Wu, I don't know how our family's well is doing, I don't think it seems to have started construction yet, is there no water on the land of our house?" ”

Wu Jianbin was really thirsty, he poured a big mouthful of water, and when he heard Tong Chuxue ask, he felt a little weak, "Girl, this is the case, we ......"

"Still looking for a place, right?" Wu Zhenzhen raised her head and answered, "Uncle Wu hasn't done this for too long, his craft has regressed, and he can't even find the location of the well in two days, it seems that I will have to help Uncle Wu explain to others in the future, Uncle Wu is not deliberately delaying the construction period, but he is not proficient in learning, so who will dare to ask you for water in the future." ”

"You little girl, what nonsense." Wu Jianbin was ridiculed by Wu Zhenzhen like this, his face was a little unbearable, and his tone was very blunt, "Who told you that I couldn't find it, in fact, I found the right place on the first day I came here!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Wu Jianbin immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.

Tong Chuxue looked at Wu Jianbin with a smile, "It turns out that I have found it, I don't know when Uncle Wu is going to start construction?" ”
