291. Digging a well
"There's nothing better than drilling a well in this location." Zhao Shuang looked at the ancestral hall road along the Jing Village.
Several elderly villagers shouted, "How can this be done? How can you just break ground in the ancestral hall? O iniquity, so that the ancestors will not be at peace......"
Zhao Shuang: "I also probed you for free, if it weren't for my father's sake, who would love to take care of you, love to dig or not." ”
Yuan Xi immediately handed over the freshly brewed tea beside him, and Fu Ning sent the latest dried tofu.
Zhao Shuang watched the villagers fight among themselves while eating.
Most of the younger villagers supported the drilling of wells in the ancestral hall, and the older ones opposed the groundbreaking of the ancestral hall.
An old man shouted: "I'm dying, I can't watch you move around in the ancestral hall, when I die and live in the ancestral hall, what if I fall into the well?" ”
A young woman with a small child in her arms said, "If you don't dig a well, will you watch our children die of thirst?" My son and his father went to a neighboring village this morning to fetch water, but the people in the other village were not allowed to fetch water from other people's wells, so I ran to three villages to get a load of water. No matter how dry it is, you may not be able to fetch a bucket of water if you run dozens of miles! ”
……
Zhao Mochen asked Zhao Shuang: "Shuang'er, what do you think of this?" Can you find another place? ”
Zhao Shuang said: "The place can't be changed, you can only fight here, they can't argue clearly, don't help them dig wells, the villagers love dogs to bite Lu Dongbin and don't know good people's hearts." ”

Zhao Mochen was so anxious when he heard this, he turned around twice.
Zhao Shuang said to Rou Niang: "Go, tell the village chief, if you can't decide whether to dig a well before noon, we don't care, and when it comes to noon, if you don't decide, we will leave, and let them fend for themselves." ”
Rou Niang went to the side of the villagers who were arguing and yelled: "Don't quarrel! ”
The audience fell silent.
Rou Niang said proudly: "Our Shuang'er girl said, before noon, you can't decide whether to dig a well or not, we don't care, who still doesn't want to eat and sleep, as if it is our obligation to accompany you to dig a well." ”
After speaking, Rou Niang turned around and walked back to Zhao Shuang's side, leaving the villagers with a cold and sturdy back.
The young village chief said, "You say, whether we dig a well to drink water, or we all die of thirst together, you decide!" ”
"Dig wells, dig wells, dig wells......" shouted the young villagers.
The older villagers are silent, digging a well will destroy the peace of the ancestral hall, if they don't dig a well, everyone will die of thirst together, look at the young children at home, the old people finally hide their faces and cry, no matter what.
The drilling of wells was officially launched.
According to Zhao Shuang's command, the villagers found tools and began to dig wells.
Zhao Shuang said to Zhao Mochen: "It's good for me to watch here, Daddy should go and be busy with something else." ”
The head of a county can't just dig a well in one village and leave nothing else at that.
Zhao Mochen pondered, there was a girl to make a move, and the well in Yanjing Village was also stable, so he told his daughter to pay attention to safety, and not to run away with people after running around.
All day long, Zhao Shuang stared boredly at the villagers digging wells, doing technical guidance and supervision from time to time, as for helping to dig the soil in person like her father, of course she wouldn't.
For the whole day, I dug three meters deep, mainly because the soil here is very hard, the soil is as hard as stone, and every inch of digging is very laborious.
The next night, Zhao Shuang decided to continue to stay overnight in Yanjing Village, although he slept in the car and didn't wash for two days, but it didn't matter, he saw a kind of scarf rabbit haunting the village last night.
This rabbit meat is very tasty, and two of them must be caught tonight.
