As Shuiqing opened her eyes, she saw the dilapidated room, half a piece of darkened bread, and five children with malnutrition, their faces full of concern. Eldest sister-in-law sneered, “It’s ...
Everyone looked at Shui Qing, waiting for her to speak.
Before this incident, they would have thought that Hu Shuiqing had married well, that she had learned a lot and become more capable by following her scholar husband, and that even though their wives always praised her, they still thought it was Fan Jin who came up with the idea, and that it was all because her husband was so capable.
I never imagined that a mere woman could be so intelligent.
From that day forward, they realized that truly intelligent people are intelligent and capable in every way!
She can solve problems without relying on her husband, and she can even solve problems that men can't!
You have to admit it.
When the villagers were poor and struggling to fill their stomachs, they felt that no one was more useful than themselves and that they were the strongest and most powerful. But as they earned more and more money and their lives improved, they realized that they had been too useless in the past. There are always mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people. There are so many powerful people out there, and they want to learn from the strong and powerful!
"No need to burn any more, as long as the water can be brought down the mountain, that's fine," Shui Qing said with a wave of her hand, quite satisfied.
Anyway, she got another mountain. She got three from the previous division of the family, and bought one from Fan Damu—his was the biggest in the entire Shanshui Village! Adding this one today, she has a total of five.
One of the bamboo forests is a very dominant plant. Basically, other trees can hardly grow where there is a bamboo forest. So the main function of this bamboo forest is to collect bamboo mushrooms and dig bamboo shoots.
Bamboo is not being utilized much. We will wait until there are suitable businesses that utilize bamboo to maximize its benefits.
One of the trees was planted with kudzu roots in preparation for the famine following the flood. The harvest will be ready soon, and once the medicinal materials are processed, they can be made into kudzu root powder for storage.
The other two were planted with medicinal herbs, and the newly added one is also used for planting medicinal herbs.
Judging from what the old village chief said, the newly allocated hilltop is next to the bamboo forest, which is good because it's convenient for maintenance and management.
"Good!" the men responded in unison.
With so many people around, no one was idle. They took the opportunity to dig up the remaining ditches, watching the spring water gurgle down.
It flowed and seeped into the soil, gradually decreasing until it disappeared.
"Brother Feng, you can go down the mountain to Zhushan to cut bamboo. Remove the bamboo nodes, tie the joints between the bamboo stalks tightly, and then make sure the spring water flows gushing into the herbal medicine shop," Old Wu said cheerfully.
Xu Laosan volunteered, "Come on, I'll go with you! I'm experienced in picking bamboo, I guarantee I'll pick the thickest one!"
“I’ll go with you too. I have a technique for getting bamboo joints, and it’s fast and good.”
"We won't be able to get much work done if we go back at this time, so let's just do it together and take care of the water source while we're at it."
Water is the most important thing. Once the water supply is secured, the herbal medicine shop can operate normally. Hu Shuiqing can sell the herbs and earn money, and then every household can receive their wages!
Helping Hu Shuiqing is also helping their own family.
Feng Da, Feng Er, Hong Daniu, and the others followed the noisy crowd down the street, their minds still in a daze.
Is it resolved?
Such a huge rock, a boulder that we thought was impossible to solve, was it really solved just like that?
