Chapter 229: The First Bowl of First Water
Mobile reading
It's wood again, and it attracts ants or something.
She originally wanted to do it by herself, but when she thought that if she became independent, she would really be out of touch with the people in the village.
The rejection of the alien by the masses is actually understandable. It is said that people must stand out from the crowd in order to highlight their status, but if you really stand out from the crowd, what kind of loneliness is that, have you thought about it?
Just do it, this is the nature of the people in Zhangzhuang Village. They obey the elders above.
After discussing with the village chief and several elders, Li Zheng felt that this matter was worth trying.
"If this thing can really be done, it will be for the benefit of future generations, and we will not be able to cultivate it in several lifetimes. This water, we must lead, we must lead! The second uncle stroked his beard and said loudly.
"Hmmm! I agree with what the second brother said. The fourth uncle also followed.
"How many elders?" Rizheng asked again.
"We think it's doable. It's not in vain that a few of us old guys can still see such a novelty in their lifetimes. Several old men agreed on the same thing, and finally made a decision.
"You say, 'Can this really be done?' A few men were chatting with shovels digging in the dirt.
"Hey! Depending on what you said, it's just a matter of a few days. Besides, the whole village is here, and we don't miss a few workers. It's done, everyone enjoys it, and if it doesn't work, it's just a matter of playing. ”
"That's it, Brother Chengzi, why do you want so much?" Another man followed suit.
"I'm just worried that if this water gets to the house, will it be as ...... as before" He didn't say the rest of the sentence, but everyone knew what he was worried about.
That incident happened at Chengzi's house back then. The dead child is still the sister of the city. What happened at that time, no one knows. I only know that when the child was salvaged, it had already begun to rot.
Chengzi's mother was very opposed to this water diversion incident. It's just that seeing that so many people in the village have gone, her opposition seems so pale and powerless.
It's just telling all the children in the family that when the time comes back, they must not go to play in the water, and they must obediently listen to their parents.
It is also because of this incident that the city is now in a shadow. The men of the whole village can swim in the water, but the city does not.
One is that he is afraid, and the other is that his parents at home do not allow it. Now his children and their mothers are not allowed to go to the river to play in the water.
The last time the little girl happened, it made the mother resolutely oppose the grandchildren going to the river to play.
"Uncle Chengzi, don't worry about it this time. I asked my dad that the water was coming out of a bamboo pole, so put a wooden plug in the place where the water came out, pick it up when you use it, and plug it when you don't need it. It's safe. "The grandson of the second uncle, Junko. He didn't understand the principle of this before, so he went to his grandfather's room and asked to find out that this thing in the courtyard could still be used like this.
Now some men in the village have gone to cut bamboo, and young people like them are digging ditches with some middle-aged people.
It is said that there is great strength in numbers, and this matter of digging a ditch to divert water, the people of a village take action, and it will be completed in three or four days.
Seeing the first stream of water flowing so white and clean in the village, the villagers were speechless with joy.
When several old people saw the water flowing out of the bamboo tube, they were also overjoyed: "Okay! In my lifetime, I really saw it, and after a hundred years, I can show off to my wife and say that we don't need to go outside to pick up the water in our village, and come directly to the house. ”
"You! I think of your wife in everything. An old man also quipped.
"Hey, hey! Wouldn't I be happy! ”
"Hahaha! Happy, everybody's happy! The second uncle and the fourth uncle also walked out from the side.
"Second brother and fourth brother!" Several old people were not as old as the second uncle and brothers, and they all smiled and said hello.
"Junko, bring me a bowl, the old man come and taste it, what kind of water is flowing out of this bamboo tube!" The second uncle was a bold old man, smiling and greeting his grandson on the side.
"Boom!" Junko answered, turned around and ran to find the bowl. I found a bowl, took a bowl and gave it to my grandfather: "Grandpa! You taste it! ”
The second uncle was the oldest man in the village, he took the bowl, first poured the water in the bowl on the ground, and said loudly: "Father, elder brothers and sisters, this first bowl, I will pay tribute to you first." I hope that you will bless my children and grandchildren in Zhangzhuang Village in the spirit of heaven, and the days will be better and better! ”
The second uncle's move, no one in the village will refute it. Junko took the bowl and brought another bowl of water to her grandfather.
The old man was not polite, picked it up, and drank a large bowl of water directly in one gulp: "Hahaha!" Good, good water! Delicious! The big guys are here to try it! ”
The second uncle greeted him, and several old men also asked their grandchildren and sons to take a bowl for themselves to taste first.
This is the way it is in this era, the elders come first, and the young come later. When the older generation finishes drinking, it will be the turn of the parents, and when the fathers finish drinking, it will be the turn of the juniors.
But that has changed. After the older generation finished drinking, the second uncle proposed to give Jiang Yu'er a bowl first: "This bowl, Niuniu should drink it!" If it weren't for her proposal, we wouldn't have had such a good idea. We have to go to the well to fetch this water bucket by bucket. After speaking, he said to his grandson: "Shunzi, go and get a bowl for your girl!" ”
Shunzi is typically a grandfather, or a big filial son, what the old man says, even if it is wrong, he will obey it.
"Second uncle, it's not my turn, wait for the uncles and uncles to drink first, and I'll taste it after drinking." Jiang Yu'er said modestly.
"Niu Niu, this bowl, you have to drink. You are a big project in our village. Without you, we don't know what happened to our village now? Look at you, you took everyone to set up a stone quary, burn lime, sell stones, and later set up a brick kiln. In the end, for the sake of the villagers, you were alone and led the villains to the mountains. Niu Niu, second uncle and grandfather! When he said this, the old man was already in tears.
Jiang Yu'er was a little astringent, and said to the old man with a smile: "Second uncle, as a member of the village, these are what I should do. What's more, running a stone yard and a brick kiln factory, isn't it me who benefits the most? Jiang Yu'er said it very easily, but the others, after listening to the words of the second uncle, already had a new opinion on Jiang Yu'er.
Yes, if it weren't for this girl, they wouldn't be able to live such a good life now.
Neighboring villages, they are all rushing to marry a girl from Zhangzhuang Village, and there are also many people from the village who ask the media to come to Zhangzhuang Village to see each other, hoping to marry their daughters to such a good village, and they can also enjoy Qingfu with their daughters in the future.
