Chapter 76: The ditch is complete

Early the next morning, the village chief stood on the big stone with red eyes and said loudly: "The big guy only needs to dig two more feet to call it a day, and go back early." ”

Everything went smoothly.

There was a bang, and finally a one-meter-wide ditch was made from the mountains to the fields after everyone worked together.

Stretching vertically and horizontally to each village, each village now only needs to dig into its own rice fields.

And he saw a rapid stream of water gushing out from under the ground, and it flowed down the ditch to the bottom of the mountain.

When the prefectural magistrate brought people over early in the morning, he saw all the people cheering, and the children rushed down the mountain with the current.

Where can people run through this water, and in a short time the water flows to the foot of the mountain, and countless crops shake their heads in the hope that the water is finally available.

The spring water shimmered in the sunlight.

People see hope.

I saw the water of hope that was gushing out and rolling in.

The ditch was only one meter wide, but it was inexplicably magnified and looked like the sea was rolling and huge waves were coming.

The elderly people in the village all had red eyes, and tears trembled and fell.

"There is water, there is really water, there is no need to escape from the famine, let alone die of thirst! No need to starve to death".

"There is water, there is water, and the wheat is saved."

Some people are digging in their fields for a small stretch of cracked loess.

Until he dug a hole in every corner of his house and connected it to the fork in the water.

The parched fields frantically absorb the water, and the water flows into the wheat fields, and instantly sinks into the cracked openings, and then there is a steady stream of water.

The shriveled ears of wheat seemed to be infused with hope, swaying in the summer breeze in the sun.

The villagers standing on the ridges wept with joy.

The people of Liujia Village also took advantage of everyone's inattention and wanted to continue digging the water into their village.

Naturally, someone saw this scene, "! These turtles are not allowed to give them water."

"You just can't give it to life or death, don't you have a well at home? Then use your own."

When everyone in Liujia Village saw it, they didn't spit in the water.

This can be regarded as a public outrage.

Mrs. Qian is fifty or sixty years old, and she is very powerful at this time, so she jumped up directly and slapped the back of the head of the man in Liujia Village, who was closest to her.

"You're a bad thing, you're too lazy to die in your own village, and you're not necessarily good to anyone else, right? Kill you bad seeds, old lady."

When the man was first beaten, he was directly stunned on the spot.

After reacting, he scolded: "You old woman who has suffered from the plague dare to beat Lao Tzu, see if Lao Tzu doesn't beat you to death."

It's just that the raised hand hasn't fallen yet, and he feels countless cold eyes stabbing at him, and the man looks up, only to find that there are a lot of people around him.

These are the tendons and flesh of the middle-aged laborers who dig ditches, not to mention these scoundrels in Liujiacun, who are too lazy to die, where are the opponents of this group of people?

When the man saw this scene, he swallowed his saliva, turned around and pulled his legs and wanted to run, but he was pressed to the ground by several croppers and hammered!

Li Zheng walked over with his hands behind his back at this time, and said with a serious face: "The village chief of Liujia Village can't control his own villagers, and this position is not up to the task, so let the capable live there." "

As soon as he said this, the sons of the village chief of Liujia Village stood up and scolded Li Zheng.

"Don't think that you are a sesame big Lizheng, you can just let my father come down, this matter is really not up to you"

I suddenly remembered the man's heavy voice behind me, "Oh, is it? So what if I said it? ”

The people who were still arguing turned around and found that it was the county magistrate who was standing behind them with a group of officials.

"Prefectural Commander"

Passers-by have given the county magistrate a blow.

I saw that the county commander was very angry and said to the people in Liujia Village: "Since you haven't made any efforts, you shouldn't enjoy the results, if you make trouble again, then you can only go to the county dungeon to reflect on it."

In addition, the village chief of Liujia Village cannot play a leading role, so the village head of Liujia Village will be re-elected tomorrow. Let it be overseen by Rizheng and let it all disperse. ”

The people of Liujia Village didn't dare to say anything more, especially the village chief of Liujia Village, who knew that this was already the best result.

If the county orders the adults to pursue it, they will inevitably be imprisoned.

After everyone dispersed, the county commander followed Li Zheng and the village chief away.

……

Su Muyao pestered her father at home to buy some pigs to go into the water.

"Good baby, what is there to eat about that thing, it's because people can't afford to eat meat before they eat that thing, if you are hungry, Daddy will buy you some pork belly."

"No, Daddy told you that I want to buy it back and try it, if it succeeds, we will sell braised large intestine braised pork."

"Good baby, it's really not good to sell braised large intestines, it's only people who can't afford to eat meat to buy pigs to go into the water.

How could this person who is willing to spend money to buy food buy these pigs to go into the water.

Mrs. Su finally couldn't look at it on the side, "San Lang said that you can buy some for her, and if you are willing to toss, you can toss it for her, and it won't cost a few dollars."

"Mother, you just get used to her, if you want to try anything, it's a waste of money."

Su Muyao ran directly to Mrs. Su and lied to her. "It's better for grandma, when the time comes, I will earn money to buy flowers and clothes for grandma."

This can make Mrs. Su happy, "Okay, well, I won't buy it for your father when the time comes."

Su Muyao nodded heavily, "Don't buy it for him."

Su Saburo only thought it was funny, but he didn't delay, and soon went to the town to buy pigs for water, and also bought some meat that his daughter said.

After coming back, Su Muyao took her eldest uncle, second uncle, and her own mother and began to get busy.

First, he cleaned up the pigs in the water, and then asked his father to go to the bamboo forest and cut a large bamboo tree back.

Old man Su and Su Saburo were embroidering bamboo sticks in the yard, and those boys hadn't come back from school yet.

Old Mrs. Su looked at her energetic little granddaughter who was busy on the side and asked, "Good baby, are you really not going to go to this school?" You haven't been reading it for long, it's really plenary."

"Grandma, I know all those words, and the master praises me for being smart and able to learn them."

"Okay, good, my family is smart, and I know all the words, so when should I start learning female workers?"

When Su Muyao heard this, she immediately frowned, "Grandma, I don't like that kind of needlework in my daughter's house, I want to earn a lot of money for grandma in business." ”

At this time, Qin Meijuan spoke, "You can just leave this business to your uncles and brothers, how can any girl show up."

"What the eldest aunt said is not right, now there are female officials in the court.

Most of the people who set up stalls in the market town are women, so can there be any statement that women can't show their heads? ”
