149:Water diversion (I)
"Ah, it's an egg."
Youyi was a little surprised to see a nest of eggs in the grass in front of him.
"Well, I've counted six, but that's a little small."
In any case, Xin'er is satisfied with this, and something is better than nothing.
"Looks like this should be a wild egg, and it's normal to be small."
Youyi had never seen a wild egg, but that didn't prevent him from having such a guess.
"Brother, let's pick them up."
"Okay."
The two picked up the eggs and searched around again, but when they didn't see anything else, they took a few wild eggs and continued their mission.
When they got home, the two of them didn't do anything else, and Xin'er began to think about things that had been put on hold for a long time.
The busy fatigue of these days also made her completely determined, and she was really distressed to see her brother tired to death every day and to carry water.
Looking at her tired brother, she thought about saying that she went to fetch water twice, but her brother disagreed, saying that he was a man and had something to do, and she didn't need to do these things.
also said that before her mother died, she had always told him to let him take care of her, so she would never let her go, she was too young.
He didn't care about it in the future, but now it will never work.
The heart is distressed and helpless, so she is more determined.
It just so happened that she still had some money at home, and she was ready to think about how this should be done, and how she could do the best thing with the least amount of money.
These days, Xin'er has been thinking about this problem, and Feng Yu'an also comes to her from time to time, and sometimes the two of them are very satisfied with just a few words.
Just because of Feng Yu'an, Xin'er was sure of what she thought before, and now she is going to experiment.
She didn't want to tell Youyi about this for the time being, she wanted to tell him when everything was ready, lest he always think that she was thinking too much.
Time passed slowly, the corn in the field was old, and it would not be long before it could be harvested, and Xin'er also sped up her movements.
When everything is ready, even the things that have been uncertain before have been determined, Xin'er is ready to tell her brother that she can't do the rest alone.
"Brother, I have something to tell you."
"Well, you say."
On this day, after breakfast, Xin'er stopped Youyi who was about to go to the field.
The straw in the field is almost dry, and Youyi has been harvesting straw in the field for the past two days.
Although straw is not a good thing, there are still several houses in the Ding family that are roofed with thatch, and this dried straw is the best material for roofing.
The house has been repaired for several years, and the roof has not been changed in the past two years, and there is already a faint leak this year, and they are ready to renovate it once after the autumn harvest.
Therefore, this year's straw is very important, and if you have it, you don't have to go to other people's houses to find it, and you can save a lot of things.
"Brother, do you remember what I told you before, the one about the water diversion."
Xin'er didn't say much, and asked directly.
"You say this, I remember, what's wrong? You want to get it again, Xin'er, we still owe five taels of silver to Master Feng's family. ”
Youyi doesn't want to get it, in his heart this is a money-burning thing, if their family has money, it's fine, but the problem is that they don't have money now, so he doesn't want to do it anymore.
"Brother, I've already figured out a way, really, it won't cost anything, and maybe we won't have to spend money."
Xin'er has thought all about it these days, just dig a deeper pond where they found the rabbit, cover it, and then use bamboo to bring the water down the mountain, these things can be done by the two brothers and sisters, and it doesn't cost much.
Xin'er slowly told Youyi what he thought about, and Youyi didn't believe it, so easy that water could be brought to the house.
"Xin'er, are you sure this can work?"
"Brother, I've already tried, as long as you open the inside of the bamboo, the water can be drawn down from a high place.
I've seen it many times, our house is just right, we found that the water is higher than ours, and it's all slopes all the way down, as long as you get it right, you can trust me.
Besides, it doesn't cost much to do what I say, at most it's a waste of effort and time, and some bamboo, don't you say, are you afraid of this?
And, brother, think about it, if it happens, it will be much more convenient for us to use water in the future, and we don't have to go to the village every day to fetch water, how much time and effort can be saved, don't you think that's the reason? ”
"You're right, it's just that I really don't know the bottom of my heart."
Youyi is still a little bottomless, but Xin'er's words really moved him, just waste a little effort and what, as long as it can satisfy her thoughts, he thinks these are nothing.
"Brother, believe me, we will definitely be able to, if it doesn't work out in the end, I won't mention it again."
Xin'er is the most confident in this matter at this time, she feels that she has thought of all kinds of things, and she will definitely succeed in the end.
"Okay, I believe you, then when are we going to start work."
"Today, it won't be long before the corn in the field will be recycled, and I think you will get this done before then, and you won't have to fetch water every day when you're tired to death."
Since Xin'er has made a decision, she wants to start construction as soon as possible, anyway, there is nothing to do at home now, and it is best to start work now.
"Okay, I'll clean up and we'll get to work, but what do we do first?"
Now that he has agreed, Youyi doesn't want to waste any more time.
"Let's go to the mountain to see how far it is from the mountain to our house and how much bamboo is needed, and then we go to cut the bamboo, hollow out the inside and put it at home for use when the time comes."
Xin'er had already thought about it, and as soon as Youyi asked, she quickly said.
"Okay, then let's go together, grab the machete, and find the route by the way."
"Okay, brother, you wait for me, I'll feed the pigs."
"I'll feed it."
"It's okay, I'll do it, you get the things you need for a while ready."
"Alright then, be careful."
"I know, you can rest assured."
Just a pig, and I couldn't eat much, and soon the brother and sister set off.
The two of them went all the way to the place where they came out of the water, and it didn't take much time to go with a purpose, and the most important thing was the reason why it was not very far from Ding's house to there.
"Brother, let's take a look at digging a pool there."
"yes, okay."
The brother and sister circled around the damp and watery place, and finally dug a piece of water with the hoe they had brought out, and after determining the digging place, the two began to walk slowly down the mountain towards their home.
The two of them were to explore the way, so naturally they would not go down to the original place, they walked in the grass and trees.
