Chapter 145: Waterwheel

When Sanhope returned, the other two had already moved to the new house by their mother.

"In the future, the two of you will live with your eldest brother, and if you don't understand anything in your studies, you can ask your eldest brother and your uncle directly, but first say okay, if you two delay your eldest brother's study of medicine, see how I clean you up." Roche threw his two grandsons into the new house, and left it alone after explaining two sentences.

Wen Jin and Wen Fa were messy in the wind, how could they move when they came back from school one day.

However, it's nice to live in a new house.

Now that the two brothers have moved over, even Wen Ying and Wen Di have also sent them over, anyway, the debts are not too much, and the people in the old mansion have now learned to rot.

After getting the title deed, Wen Xiuyi and Wen Laohan began to lead people to start digging the pond, this pond is easy to dig, but the geographical location here is high, and the geographical location of the Pingjiang tributary is shorter, so how to attract this water has become a problem.

You can't dig a deep ditch, not to mention the manpower and material resources consumed, if the ditch is not covered, if a child falls down, it will be terrible.

Wen Xiuyi had an idea, and when he went home, he locked himself in his room and began to write and draw, and then took the drawings and went to Zhang Carpenter.

"Brother Wen, what is this?" Carpenter Zhang looked at the things on the drawings, he was no longer surprised by the things that Wen Xiuyi had drawn now, after all, the previous Quyuan plough had made him a lot of money.

Although some people have imitated it, his business is still the best, and there are many people.

"Waterwheel, this is more complicated than the curved plow, and you have to go to my house to make on-site adjustments, can you do it?" Wen Xiuyi is worried about this, after all, Carpenter Zhang also wants to make money, of course, if he really does a good job, he will not treat Carpenter Zhang badly.

Where would Carpenter Zhang say no, he immediately agreed, and after making a few curved plows in his hand, he didn't take the order, and made this waterwheel for the Wen family.

Wen Xiuyi frowned: "Will that delay your business?" ”

Carpenter Zhang put away the drawings and smiled: "Brother Wen, you are going to see me outside, nothing is as important as your family's business, don't worry, I will finish the work in my hands in the next few days and go to your house." ”

"Okay, don't worry, it's going to take a few days to dig the pond anyway, then I'll go back first." After Wen Xiuyi said hello, he took the ox cart back.

As soon as he came back, he told Wen Laohan that the matter of water diversion was solved.

"How?" Old Man Wen asked curiously.

Wen Xiuyi looked at this piece of land that had been crowned with their family name, and was full of emotion, such a large piece of land, put aside in the original era, could not reach the hands of a person, it was really the convenience of every era and every era.

Retracting his thoughts, Wen Xiuyi replied: "Just get a few waterwheels." ”

"Water wheels? What's that? Wen Laohan looked inexplicable.

Wen Xiuyi didn't know how to explain this, what he didn't expect was that there were no waterwheels here, so what was the irrigation of those lands far away from the river?

However, so far, Wen Xiuyi has not seen anyone planting paddy fields in this place, most of them are dry land, growing wheat, and paddy fields are also available, but there are very few.

In the final analysis, it is caused by the inconvenience of irrigation.

"I can't explain it to you clearly, you'll know when Carpenter Zhang comes to make it."

Although Wen Laohan was full of curiosity, he didn't ask any more.

In the following days, Wen Laohan went out early in the morning with his cigarette stick, either wandering around the field to see how the crops were growing, or watching them dig next to the planned pond.

I have to say that these people are really diligent in their work, it has only been ten days of work, and most of them have been dug for the most part, and they are about to be completed.

The excavated soil was not wasted, and it was all moved to the barren mountain next to it.

"Uncle Wen, you're here to stare at us again." Someone saw the old man Wen and greeted him from afar.

Wen Laohan put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "What do you stare at, I don't have to worry about your work, rest assured." That's what he said, but the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't hold back.

Wen Laohan never thought that he would have this day.

After going around the big pit, Wen Laohan went to the field a few more times, and saw that the wheat in the field was really better than in previous years, so he couldn't help but squat down and take a closer look.

I felt a lot of emotion in my heart, this blockbuster was all from his own family, which was something he couldn't have imagined before.

I don't know how long I sat there, but suddenly a voice sounded behind me.

"Dad, what are you looking at?"

Wen Xiuyi suddenly made a sound, which startled the old man Wen.

"Well, I want to scare your dad to death." Old Man Wen glared at Wen Xiuyi angrily.

Wen Xiuyi sat down next to him, looked at this green world, and smiled: "Dad, what's the matter?" Are you satisfied? ”

The corners of Wen Laohan's mouth rose, and he was in a good mood.

"Satisfied, satisfied."

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Wen Xiuyi and asked, "Boss, how do you know so much, I haven't seen you mention it in previous years, otherwise our family's harvest would have already doubled several times." ”

The corners of Wen Xiuyi's mouth twitched, in previous years, he didn't come in previous years.

"It's not like I was confused before, and I didn't put my mind on this." Wen Xiuyi can only find a reason to shirk.

Wen Laohan also seemed to remember the past, and frowned slightly: "Okay, the past is over, and you can't be confused in the future." ”

"Yes, yes, yes, definitely not again." Wen Xiuyi hurriedly responded, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

The father and son sat for a while, and Wen Xiuyi pulled Wen Laohan up and took him to the river.

"Carpenter Zhang's first waterwheel is almost ready, shall I take you to take a look?" Wen Xiu Yi Dao.

Old Man Wen snorted and followed him to the river.

A makeshift shack was erected not far from the river, where Carpenter Zhang and his other brother were working, and next to it was a downed waterwheel, which was not yet fully completed, and a few parts had to be assembled.

"Brother Wen, Uncle Wen, you're here." When Carpenter Zhang saw the two of them, he hurriedly put down the work in his hand and greeted them.

"I'm busy." Wen Laohan glanced at it with his hands behind his back, and Carpenter Zhang smiled hesitantly.

Wen Laohan greeted Carpenter Zhang and his brother, and went to see the waterwheel, and after a few circles around, he didn't see anything special.

However, when the son said that this thing could lead water to the pond and the land, he believed it.

"Look at his father, how long will it take to do this?" Old Man Wen asked, he couldn't wait to see what this waterwheel could be used for.

Carpenter Zhang brought a stool to Old Man Wen for him to sit down, and then said: "It's almost fast, there are still a few parts that have to be changed again, Brother Wen said, this waterwheel will be used for a long time in the future, but it must be stronger." ”
