"Dad, what are you drawing?"

Su Tang came to Su Mingjiang's side and watched him draw drawings, but he didn't understand it for a while.

"Dad, I once saw a water windmill on the master Zhuangzi, which can bring water to water the ground, isn't our vegetable field far away from the river, I thought that if we could draw the water windmill and let people make it, not only would we save trouble watering the land, but also the people with land by the river would also save trouble?"

"Oh, then Daddy, you draw slowly."

Su Tang couldn't help at this point, although she had heard of this kind of pedal water windmill, but she had never seen it.

Fortunately, Su Mingjiang saw it because he was curious at the time, although he didn't care about it at the time, he still remembered it after thinking about it carefully.

There was a carpenter in the village, and he went directly to someone's house with the drawings, and just tinkered with it, so he made a model of a water windmill.

It alarmed the patriarch all of a sudden, Su Mingjiang could think of using this to water the ground, how could the patriarch not think of it?

By the time it had taken more than ten days to make it, the whole village was shocked.

Today is the day of the experiment, and early in the morning, there are many people gathered by the small river to watch the excitement.

The children were even more happy to run around, provoking the adults to scold them to run slower.

"Is this really the second child of the Su family coming up with it?"

Looking at the "behemoth" by the river, the villagers were amazed, and none of them believed that it was taken out by Su Mingjiang.

"I heard that people saw it in the capital, and this one who has seen the world is different, and the brain is flexible."

"If you are envious and sell your eldest child, maybe you can earn a life in twenty years!"

"Who is envious, we are reluctant to have children!"

"You can't be reluctant, but someone is willing, then don't envy someone who comes to your son to be capable!"

Qiu Shi listened to the surrounding discussions, his face was blue and red, and his face drooped, and his whole body was terrifying.

As bad as her face is Ma's, the daughter-in-law of the Su family.

His man is the boss of the Su family, and he is a shopkeeper in the town, and he knows a lot of people, who didn't greet her with a smile when he saw her before.

Since the second child came back, everyone's eyes have fallen on him.

The second daughter-in-law is even more knowledgeable, gentle and generous, and immediately compares the little daughter-in-law in the village.

Hearing everyone's praise of Su Mingjiang today, Ma felt as if there was a fire in his heart, and he really wanted to shout regardless of it.

However, she didn't dare, this was a big crowd that really wanted her to shout, not to mention others, even Su Mingshan couldn't spare her.

No one paid attention to the thoughts of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and soon everyone's eyes were attracted by the movement in front of them.

"Oops, it's out of the water, it's out of the water!"

"It's really out of the water!"

The patriarch asked the two strong men to sit down on the footrests, and with a sound they kicked up with all their strength on their legs.

Soon the waterwheel was moving, and as the waterwheel turned, the water from the river was also brought up, and flowed into the fields along the channel that had been dug long ago.

This movement immediately attracted everyone's cheers, and there was no need to carry water to water the ground after having this waterwheel.

The patriarch looked at the waterwheel with a smile, and was very pleased with what Su Mingjiang had done.

This child is not a forgetful of his ancestors, and he will think about the people in his clan when there are good things.

Everyone can see that this treadmill is a good thing for the benefit of the people.

Even if it was a drawing taken out by Su Mingjiang, it was the carpenter in the clan who made it.

When this matter is known to the surrounding villages, and even the government, if they want to popularize it, where will they not be able to use the carpenters in their Xiaohe Village?

This is a good thing to earn fame in the village!

"Mingjiang, you did the right thing, no matter what your original intention was, it would be a great achievement to make this watermill work. This is also beneficial to our Xiaohe Village and our Su family. ”

Su Mingjiang was a little ashamed, to be honest, the main reason why he wanted to make this waterwheel was that it was convenient to water his own vegetable patch, and he didn't think about it so much.

"Patriarch, I also made a mistake, mainly because Uncle Ming's craftsmanship is good."

The patriarch smiled and did not refute, it is a good thing for people to have a humble heart.

"Patriarch, although I provided the drawings, it is still Uncle Ming's craftsmanship, if someone really comes down, can you think you don't mention me?"

Su Mingjiang didn't want to be in the limelight, so he asked people to dig out the fact that their family was once a slave.

He gave this credit to the clan, and no matter what happened in the future, the clan would not stand idly by.

Although he was born here, he left at a very young age, and this is twenty years without much emotion.

He also wants to integrate into the clan, and after being outside for a long time, he will know that there is no clan behind him, just like duckweed, where he has nowhere to take root.

The patriarch was not old-hearted, and his heart was bright, and he quickly understood what Su Mingjiang meant, nodded and smiled, "Okay, you are a good boy, and the clan will remember it." ”

"That's as it should be!" With the patriarch's assurance, Su Mingjiang was also relieved. Watching the villagers go up one by one to test the treadmill.

As the weather became hotter and hotter, the vegetables from the vegetable field quickly grew wildly, and Shen Yunniang's pickles became more and more.

The braised meat shop in the town has also opened, and the business is not bad, and Shen Yunniang's pickled side dishes are also very popular.

Although there is no shortage of vegetables this season, not everyone is willing to stir-fry.

Then this pickled vegetable and braised vegetables have become a common food on the dinner table.

"Mother, you take a break, I'll wash these dishes."

Su Tang pulled Shen Yunniang and asked her to sit aside, squatting in front of the basin to wash the vegetables.

These are eggplants, cucumbers, and beans that have just been picked from the vegetable patch.

Shen Yunniang was also a little tired, wiped the sweat on her forehead, and fanned her with a handkerchief, "Actually, I'm not too tired, the main thing is that it's a little uncomfortable to squat all the time." ”

"Don't be reckless, let my father know, you should be angry, you are only two months pregnant, don't dare to be careless."

Shen Yunniang gently touched her lower abdomen, and the smile on her face gradually deepened, "Okay, you're about to become a little nagging woman." ”

Immediately, he became a little worried, "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and this dish is coming down quickly, only your father is a little too busy." Do you think we should get someone to help? ”

In the northwest corner of the yard, there were already six or seven pickle jars, but there were still some insufficient.

"I think it's okay, my dad is also busy picking vegetables alone, plus washing vegetables and pickling vegetables, I can't get much in a day, and I'm afraid the rest of the vegetables won't be fresh."

Su Tang nodded in agreement, the pickles are selling well, and Mu Lingchuan has already opened a branch in the county seat and Fucheng, and Su Tang also wants the family to take this opportunity to expand the pickles.

It's just that when Shen Yunniang is pregnant, she can only mix the marinade for pickles, and she can't do anything else.

"What do you think about letting your third aunt come over?"

"The third aunt can't do it, she has to go to the ground again, and she has to watch the children, so she doesn't have that time, right?"

Shen Yunniang thought about it, and nodded with some disappointment, "I think that letting your third aunt come over is somewhat advanced, but the old mansion is not divided, and it is not your third aunt who has the final say." ”
