After considering all the options, Sun Kaicheng seemed the most suitable. After all, if the two of them found partners separately, it would be quite unfriendly to their secrets, and it didn't want its host and Sun Kaicheng to end up in a life-or-death situation.

Most importantly, there's a high chance that their own host can't beat Sun Kaicheng, which is incredibly worrying.

It's a pity about that lost space again. At least there were a few weapons inside that could be used to fight back. Now there's nothing there. How are we supposed to go up against Sun Kaicheng?

"Alright, alright, we can't take other people's things anymore. Your host isn't poor now, buying some good food to satisfy my appetite isn't a problem."

Although Qian Xiao often cooked delicious food in the space and ate with Sun Kaicheng, she always felt guilty for taking up his space and didn't want to take advantage of him anymore. Friends are friends, but if one person always takes advantage of the other, even the best friendship will be ruined.

"Don't worry, I understand." Sigh, it's all its fault for not being able to help the host create greater value.

I'm quite confident in Shuangdan Qianxiao. He's just a bit stingy, but otherwise he's fine. He's stingy because he had a terrible start. Shuangdan only became stingy because of me.

Otherwise, why would a system be so meticulous about such details?

"Oh, is it that serious already? You're already like this even though you don't have a water shortage here. Wouldn't it be even worse in places where water resources are scarce to begin with?"

Shuangdan then took a good look outside and was shocked to find that it was so different from what it used to be; the green had been replaced by withered yellow.

"Absolutely! It's so worrying!"

"If this were in interstellar space, a single rain bomb would solve the problem, but it's going to be difficult here."

"Let alone your interstellar space, even in future generations, there are ways to solve the problem. It's just that our productivity and technology are lagging behind now. Let's take it slow. There's no use in us being anxious."

After hearing what Qian Xiao said, Qian Baozhu's worried face turned to joy: "Erdan, can what you say really work? Does that bamboo have that ability?"

“It will work. I went up the mountain to check the bamboo forest today. There are enough thick bamboos there. Bamboo is hollow, so as long as the pipes are properly protected and don’t break, the water from the mountain can be brought down. I checked the water level today and it hasn’t changed much. It definitely won’t dry up anytime soon.”

She dared to say that because Shuangdan said there was plenty of water in that underground river.

“I knew this knowledge wouldn’t be wasted, especially for college students. So many people couldn’t figure out how to do it, but you came back and figured it out. I was worried because the river was dry and the well was almost empty. In the end, we had no choice but to have strong laborers go up the mountain to fetch water.”

But carrying water up the mountain is not so easy. Not to mention how much time and effort is wasted going up and down the road. Even if you carry water all day without stopping, it won't be enough for the crops in the fields. But if there is really no other way, you have to do it.

Qian Xiao waved his hand modestly: "It's just that I saw that bamboo forest while wandering around in the mountains. If someone else had seen it, they would have thought of this solution long ago."

"However, it's not that simple. The distance from the water source on the mountain to our land is quite far, and it will take a lot of effort."

"What's there to be afraid of? As long as we have water and a harvest, what's a little extra effort? You go back first, and I'll talk to someone about how to proceed with this work. Tomorrow, you can lead everyone up the mountain, okay?"

"Sure, why not? As long as everyone doesn't think I'm messing around."

"Don't worry, no one will dare to say anything stupid, otherwise I won't let him off the hook." The solution has been presented to him, and any further complaints would be ungrateful.

Qian Xiao left the message with her grandfather and went home. What happened next was not up to her. If the villagers agreed, she would lead the way; if not, she would pretend nothing had happened. Anyway, she didn't put in much effort; she just went up the mountain.

She couldn't bear to see the worry on the villagers' faces. She had grown up here since she was a child, and the villagers had always treated her well. Otherwise, she wouldn't have dared to step forward.

Fortunately, water is currently the most pressing issue in the village. Everyone was quite happy to hear that the water source from the mountain could be brought down in this way. Although it takes some effort, it is much better than carrying water up the mountain every day.

Early the next morning, the villagers gathered at the village entrance. The able-bodied men in the village split into two groups: one group went with Qian Xiao to cut bamboo in the bamboo forest, and the other group dug ditches from the water source into the village.

Everyone thought it would be better to dig a pit and bury the bamboo used for diverting water, so that even if there were wild animals, they wouldn't easily damage the bamboo, and if something accidentally broke, the water would be wasted.

There was a commotion at the village entrance, and the educated youth naturally came out to see what had happened. After hearing the whole story, they were a little annoyed. How could they not have thought of such a simple thing?

If they had come up with this idea, wouldn't they have been able to truly establish themselves here and live a better life in the future?

To be honest, there was no bullying of educated youth in Qianjia Brigade, and they probably lived better lives. Who could refuse that?

One of the fairest-skinned boys among the educated youths had his eyes light up. This job was perfect for him. He had always wanted to find something to do to smooth out the impression he had left on the villagers. He was not a crybaby at all; he just hadn't adapted to the sudden change of environment at first.

This man is Qian Jingshen, the son of Aunt Qian. He is a boy with overly delicate features. He is not very tall, only a little over 1.7 meters. His skin is really white. If Qian Xiao saw him, he would definitely recognize this kind of pale skin that is quite popular in later generations.

Aunt Qian also stood among the educated youth watching. When she saw Qian Xiao coming over, she quickly pulled her son over. If she hadn't seen this girl today, she planned to visit her family in a few days before leaving, and bring some gifts so that the local family could help take care of her son.

The candy I gave last time was just a test, and the fact that the little girl accepted it meant there was hope for this.

As for whether she was worried that the young girl didn't understand the intricacies of the situation, how could she? She discovered it on the train. The girl was very worldly-wise and intelligent. In any case, she found out almost nothing about the girl's family, while her own family's affairs were almost completely exposed by others.

Qian Xiao also saw Aunt Qian and greeted her with a smile: "Aunt Qian, are you settling in well?"

"It's great. The people in your village are nice and the place is nice too. The air is much better than in the city." The key is that there are no messy things here. If her family members didn't all have jobs, she would have moved here to live with her youngest son.
