Although it is a lower house, it is also very large.

The courtyard is divided into many small courtyards, the small courtyard where the cherry is located is in the innermost, the farthest from the well, not to mention more than 100 steps. It's troublesome enough to go back and forth on weekdays, and if you carry a bucket to carry water, not to mention how tired you have to suffer.

Although Cherry has never thrown down the few tricks that Mei Yunyun taught her, her body is much stronger than before, and her strength is not much greater, but she is only an eleven-year-old female doll after all, carrying a bucket full of well water, walking a hundred steps, entering the small courtyard, and then pouring water into the kettle to boil, she is already tired and sits on the ground, panting non-stop.

That's not going to work.

Although Yifang said that the person Gao Li is great, the situation is better than her, but after such a long journey, it is enough to be tired just carrying water for food every day, and she has to carry water for bathing and bathing.

Yifang said that there were obviously several small courtyards in this large courtyard that were empty, but the second housekeeper wanted to transfer Shunyi to the most remote courtyard, which was really ...... It's bad.

After a while, the breath was smoothed, and Cherry walked to the door of the house, and was very happy to hear the thin miles that Yifang was washing inside, and did not dare to go in. After relieving his breath for a while, he took the bucket and went to fetch water again.

"Yo, this is Shunyi's new rough boy, Yixi?" The man who spoke was a very old-looking man, with half-white hair and white skin, giving people a kind and clean feeling.

Looking at the position where this man is standing, according to Yifang, this should be Uncle Xiang, the head of the kitchen.

"Uncle Xiang." Cherry showed her signature smile, wanting to be close to Li Dexiang. He's in charge of the kitchen, and he's in charge of everything in the kitchen.

"Drink, it's quite clever." Li Dexiang had a smile on his face and nodded with satisfaction: "It seems that Shunyi has found a good helper this time." ”

"What a good helper? I'm so thin and small, I can't carry it on my shoulders, I can't lift it, and I have to carry half a bucket and half a bucket of water. Cherry smiled and raised the bucket in her hand.

At the mention of the bucket, Li Dexiang couldn't help but sigh softly: "This Wu Fanhe is really, it is difficult to do this." Your yard is so far away that daily drinking water has become a problem. When I look back at him, I'll talk about him again. ”

"Carrying water is a trivial matter, and he still deducts our expenses. I haven't had anything to eat this month. Cherry blinked pitifully at Li Dexiang, if he nodded, there were so many things in the kitchen, didn't he eat it if he wanted to?

"Hehe, that's not the case, right? There is a lot of moon silver in the good house. Li Dexiang didn't think as Cherry thought, just smiled slightly, and said, "It's still busy in the kitchen, I'll go first." ”

"Hey, Uncle Xiang go slowly." Cherry was slightly disappointed, but then relieved. Where is this? This is a dignified palace, if the people here see a poor person and their love is overflowing, then they don't have to live, and they have already been calculated. What is in the palace is only fighting, fighting for favor and merit, fighting for hearts and strategies.

After a few more trips of water, Yi Fang finished taking a shower.

He put on a piece of clothes he had just changed into his hand, and walked out of the house with a sigh: "Yixi, what a beautiful thing it is to take a bath, you don't love it?" ”

Cherry glared at him secretly and asked rhetorically, "Yifang, where is the axe in our yard?" ”

"Axes? What do you want that to do? You little physique, I'll do the chopping of wood. ”

"Where is the wood? I'm useful. She was carrying the water, and thought of a way to ease the work. Didn't you have that kind of shopping cart in your previous life? Twenty or thirty yuan a piece, dragging to the market, buying a large bucket of water, is convenient and labor-saving. The principle is also simple, it is two planks and two small wheels.

Don't think about looking for wheels in this era, but there are wooden boards, Cherry thought, it is better to make two wooden wheels out of the planks by yourself, poke an eye in the middle, and put a sleek wooden strip into it to make an axle, isn't it just a simple little trailer?

"Here." Yifang didn't know why he found the axe and handed it to the cherry: "Yixi, what are you going to do, just ask me to do it." You strength, don't let the axe hurt you anymore. ”

"I want to be a water truck." Cherry's eyes lit up, yes, Yifang's free labor, no need to use it in vain. Just now, I was worried about how to get these two wheels, the beneficial side is there, what is she afraid of? If it is not good, there are two big guys in Xindong and Xinxia: "You need two wheels." No, the planks have been found, and all you need to do is cut two circles. ”

"Just?" Yi Fang's eyes widened: "You said so light, sharpen two wooden wheels, this is a carpenter's job." Besides, what a waterwheel, why haven't I heard of it? ”

"You'll know when you make it. You just say wheels, can you do it? ”

"I can't do it." Yifang shook his head and said, "But the carpenter in the house should be able to do it." We also have some friendship over there, so I'll go over and ask for a try. ”

"Carpenter?" That's great. Cherry laughed happily and clapped her hands: "Then just do it, you go now?" ”

"There's no hurry. Let's clean up the bath water and bath bucket in the house first. I haven't washed my clothes yet. Yifang squatted down unhurriedly.

"Oops, you have to wash your clothes, and it takes water! When my water truck comes out, can't we wash it when it's convenient to pull water? Cherry urged: "When you have a water truck, you will not have to worry about running out of water when you take a bath every day." ”

"Really?" Yifang's eyes also lit up, flashing and flashing, taking a bath every day, wah, yes, yes...... You know, it is difficult to use water in this courtyard, except for Shunyi's almost daily bathing, he and Yiliang were willing to take a bathtub bath every few days at that time, and they usually wiped their bodies.

"Don't believe me?" Cherry said as she took the axe in Yifang's hand: "You go now, if the carpenter is idle at this time, it is estimated that he can get it for you before noon." It just so happens that the planks on my side will be put together. When you come back, you'll be able to pull the water wheel in the afternoon. At night, Uncle Yi doesn't have to bother to carry the water he bathes. ”

"Okay, okay, I'll go." Yifang was a little excited, strode out two or three steps, and after another pause, he turned around and looked at the cherry with a smile: "Yixi, you really have a way." Although you are not as strong as Yiliang to do work, but with you, you are still much stronger than him!! After saying that, he left happily.

This kid will win people's hearts. Cherry shook her head and smiled, looking down to focus on the few planks in her hand.

In this courtyard, although you have to get your own ideas for food, you can live comfortably. Cherry was a little relieved that if she lived like this, she wouldn't have to bother much when she could leave. It's a pity that she came to help Zhou Muze this time, and this small courtyard is probably just a temporary place for her to stay. Even if she doesn't work hard to climb up, Zhou Muze will find a way to transfer her away and arrange her to be with those masters.

Let's stay quietly for a few days. Her state of mind has not calmed down after all. I missed a few sisters last night, and I don't know how sad they will be when they lose themselves. I wonder if their expressions will be surprised or surprised when they see them again, or they will be angry.

It was almost noon when the planks were put together in a prototype.

Yifang hasn't come back yet. The cherry put away the cart in its original form, got up and went to pack up a little yam and prepare to roast it as a staple food. I picked a few more kidney beans and stir-fried them. I can't help it, I don't have the money to go to the kitchen to eat, so I can only cook some food myself. The pot in the courtyard that is used to warm rice can be considered to come in handy.

As soon as the meal was served, Yifang came back happily. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted, "Yixi! Joy! Come out and take a look, can you come? ”

Cherry ran out of the door, only to see Yifang holding two round planks with holes in the middle. The cuts and edges are smooth and smooth, worthy of the work of a serious carpenter: "It's good!!" ”

"Then try it!!" Yi Fang stretched out his sleeve to wipe the sweat from his forehead: "For these two little things, I earned it after half a day's work at the carpenter's place."

"No problem." Cherry found the wooden planks she had put together, and put the two wheels on them, which were a little loose, but they were still sturdy to put some wooden nails in. It is enough to cope with short distances and small weights.

Moving back and forth twice, although it is more laborious than those small trailers in modern times, it is much less labor-saving than carrying it by hand.

"I'll try!!" Yifang excitedly took it, tried it back and forth twice, and happily: "It's really good!" As he spoke, he couldn't wait to find a bucket: "I'll try to pull some water!" ”

"Lighter you! Be careful when using it! Cherry hurriedly followed.

The road connecting the small courtyards in the compound is paved with bluestone in the center, which is quite smooth. Yifang dragged the cart all the way to the well, filled it with water, put the bucket on the cart, and then dragged it back, which really saved a lot of effort, and the walking speed could be much faster.

"It's good, it's good!!" Yifang excitedly dragged the car back and forth, and at the same time said in surprise: "Yixi, you are so smart, this time we don't have to work hard to carry water." If Shunxin and the second housekeeper know, I don't know what to be angry about. ”

Cherry looked up and smiled: "Then don't let them know early." Let's not be too public. ”

As he was talking, a person walked in from the courtyard gate, and he bumped into the two people who were excited, and said, "Yifang, what is this thing you are dragging?" ”

"Uncle Xiang, this is called pulling a water wheel. You see, how convenient is it to pull water? Yifang completely forgot what Cherry had just said, and pulled Li Dexiang happily and excitedly: "You try it?" ．．．．．． Light, right? Convenient, right? In the future, use it to pull water, pull ten or twenty times, and you will not be tired. ”

"Oh!! Sure enough!! Li Dexiang tried back and forth in surprise, and was very happy: "In this way, you don't have to worry about draught in the future." Yifang, you can borrow this car from me first. ”
