"Eliminate gas, eliminate gas, if you say something, I'll tell them!"

Old man Xu came to Niu Dali's side, accompanied by a smiling face, "What's the matter, look at my brother's face, don't get angry first, dissipate your anger, let's talk slowly." ”

"Brother Xu, it's really not our old cow's eggs that pick bones. You go and see what those people are all about, and the bucket is going to break in a little while. ”

"And how much water can that bucket hold?"

"If this watermill is made like this, it will be a kind of goods, and it will not be useful!"

"This is smashing my sign!"

Don't blame Niu Dali for being angry, as a craftsman, what he values most is whether the things he makes can be used and whether they are easy to use.

Even if some of the parts were not made by him, he supervised the work. In the end, things were made, and he couldn't just pat his ass and walk away after taking the money.

And if this waterwheel is ruined, who else in the entire Anshun County will recognize his skill of Niu Dali?

This is no longer just smashing the signboard, this is completely smashing his Niu Dali's job.

He could endure it without beating people, and he had already seen Old Man Xu's face.

After all, Mr. Xu is the eldest brother he recognizes, he was invited by Mr. Xu, and things are out of control, and it is Mr. Xu who is in a dilemma in the end.

Because Niu Dali can completely shake his hands and leave without hesitation.

"Brother, I've wronged you!"

Old Man Xu patted Niu Dali's shoulder, understanding that Niu Dali was already restraining because of him.

"I'll take care of this!"

Old man Xu was also holding back his anger in his heart because of the remnants of the previous dynasty. Now, coming here is these bad things, and the anger in my heart is rising.

"Guan Laojiu, it's you!"

When Old Man Xu came from afar, he had already seen who was fighting with the cow.

Guan Laojiu is a well-known carpenter craftsman in their Lingshui Village. And he and Guan Laoqi were born to the same parents, in Lingshui Village, where Guan is the main surname, as the patriarch's younger brother, Guan Laojiu is also very good.

However, when his card came to Old Man Xu, it was not easy to use at all.

"Pack your stuff and get out!"

Old Man Xu controlled his temper and didn't make a move.

This is to give Guan Laoqi face, and it is also to give Guan Laoqi and Guan Laojiu face to their father who died early.

Guan Laojiu was directly named by Old Man Xu, and he was also stunned.

Because, his relationship with Mr. Xu is not bad.

Especially when he was young, he followed Old Man Xu around for a long time. It's just that when I grew up and got married, the relationship gradually faded.

But in Guan Laoqi's heart, he and Old Man Xu are both old friends, which is incomparable to Niu Dali, an outsider.

"Brother Xu, no, you listen to my explanation!"

Guan Laojiu stood up, "I'm not—"

"Lao Jiu, what kind of character you are, I know!"

Old Man Xu raised his hand to interrupt Guan Laojiu's explanation, "When I was a child, you often followed me. To put it mildly, you grew up watching me, it's not too much. ”

"Don't explain this matter today, and I won't listen to it."

"If you want to recognize me as a brother, then don't say anything, honestly pack your things and go!"

If it weren't for the original friendship, Old Man Xu really didn't want to save face for Guan Laojiu.

What kind of little Jiujiu Guan Lao Jiu played, Old Man Xu knows very well. It's nothing more than that he thinks he can have fun building a waterwheel.

Wanting to find an excuse to squeeze the cattle away, he came to make this deal. But Old Man Xu understands that this bastard thing is a low-eyed master. This waterwheel is related to the livelihood of a village, can it be a child's play?

If the waterwheel was so easy to build, there would not be only a few famous waterwheel builders in Anshun County.

Although there are some people in this world who do not live up to their name.

But craftsmen eat craft rice.

There is no vanity under the fame, and there will be no major deviations in the craftsman's area.

"Okay, okay, I'll go!"

Facing the angry old man Xu, Guan Laojiu packed up his things very well and left.

And after dealing with Guan Laojiu, the thorn in the head, the rest of the people don't need to be beaten by Old Man Xu again, and they all know who to listen to when working here.

"What's going on? How long does it take to get it repaired? ”

After the old man Xu shocked the audience, he pulled Niu Dali to the side to speak.

"As long as we all hurry up and get the work at hand, five days at most, and set up this first waterwheel at a time."

"That's good, that's good!"

When Old Man Xu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Xu, don't be too happy!"

Niu Dali didn't wait for Old Man Xu to be happy for a while, and poured a scoop of cold water on him.

"If this really encounters a drought like 20 years ago, the water surface of the Peach Blossom River will continue to fall. At that time, the waterwheel will not be able to eat water, and it will be useless! ”

"Uh......"

Old Man Xu had a bitter face, "Can't you kid hope for a little good?" ”

Twenty years ago, the fields of Xiangyi Prefecture could almost be called a grain harvest. If it weren't for the timely relief of the imperial court, I don't know how many people would have died that year.

But even so, I still heard that some elderly people died on hunger strike, just to leave a few more rations for the rest of the family.

That year, Old Man Xu went into the mountains to hunt, relying on game and wild vegetables, plus relief food from the imperial court, the family was able to carry it.

"Big brother, to tell you the truth, I also want it to rain all the time!"

"But in the past two days, I have been repairing water trucks by the river, and from my observations, this major drought is inevitable."

"Sure enough, the ginger is still old and spicy."

"My old man's eyes are really poisonous!"

"What else do you mean? Store your food quietly! ”

Old Man Xu looked up at the blue sky above his head, not to mention how bad it was.

"Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven!"

When he came back from the river, Old Man Xu saw his daughter-in-law playing with Fubao in the yard, the depression on his face instantly dissipated, and he changed into a smiling face, and came close with a smile.

"Dad's little Fubao, do you miss your father?"

"Ahh

Fu Bao looked sideways at the father who greeted her, her eyes narrowed slightly, why did she always think that her father's smile was so fake?

"Coming back?"

"How's the watermill repaired?"

Old Mrs. Xu looked at Old Man Xu with a slightly serious expression. Since the day when Old Man Xu said that there was going to be a big drought, she was also paying attention to the weather.

There are some things that you don't pay attention to and you don't feel anything.

But once you look at it, you will see that there is a problem everywhere, and everything is wrong.

Today's Mrs. Xu is also convinced that there will be a big drought this day.

"In five days at most, the first waterwheel will be erected."

"It's just that, listening to Dali, the old man of their family thinks that this year's drought can be compared with the drought 20 years ago."
