The well was quickly dug.

Zhou Ziwen stood at the bottom of the well, and a stream of water mixed with mud emerged from the ground, continuously.

Seeing this, Zhou Ziwen continued to expand until he hit the rock wall and stopped.

Seeing that the water in the well was getting deeper and deeper, Zhou Ziwen did not delay any longer. He found some stones and started to build the well.

The well mouth is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. Zhou Ziwen had calculated this when he was mining the stones.

All you have to do is stack the stones one by one, nothing else needs to be done.

The process of building a well is very simple, the only troublesome part is moving the stones.

Zhou Ziwen was alone. Every time he put a stone down, he had to go down and stack it up, then climb up and continue putting stones down.

After going up and down dozens of times, the well was quickly built.

The well water has just been dug and cannot be used yet.

Firstly, the accumulation speed of well water is not so fast. Secondly, the water quality of a newly dug well is not very good and needs to be settled.

At this time the well was still open and had no cover.

Next, he planned to ask Wu Dagang for help and use his connections to get someone to help him weld a water pressure device.

The principle of water pressure wells is very simple and was widely used in many places in the 1960s and 1970s.

The reason why it is not available in Dabazi Village is because it is relatively remote and this technology has not yet been promoted here.

Once Zhou Ziwen uses the pressurized well, I believe they will appear in the village one after another in the future.

There are more than a thousand people in Dabazi Village, but there is not only one well. If you count carefully, there are a total of six wells in the entire village.

This is when there is enough rain. If there is a drought, there will not be enough water in the village.

Zhou Ziwen was also preparing for a rainy day and was afraid of encountering a water shortage, so he dug a well in advance.

It is also convenient to have a well at home, so he doesn’t have to go to the village to fetch water anymore.

It’s not tiring, it’s just troublesome.

After all, there are two clean girls in the family, and the water consumption is quite high.

Zhou Ziwen felt sorry for them, so he was the one who fetched water for the house.

After working for so long, it’s almost time to get off work.

Zhou Ziwen cleaned up the battlefield, moved the mud left from digging the well behind the house, and then cleaned the yard again.

The convenience of paving stone slabs is that if they get dirty, you just need to rinse them with water.

When the sun is strong, you can also dry some things in the yard, which is convenient and saves trouble.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Zhou Ziwen went to the kitchen, took out the wild rabbit that Tayun had brought back in the morning, and began to skin and remove the dirt.

By the time he finished processing the rabbit, the two sisters had returned from work.

"Brother Ziwen, hurry up, hurry up, it's very lively over there at the Youth League House, let's go there quickly."

As soon as she came back, Chen Qiaoyi couldn't wait to speak.

There is a gathering at the Youth League Home today, the purpose of which is to get to know the new educated youth.

Before, when the educated youth went to the countryside, they were arranged to stay in the villagers' homes because there was no extra accommodation.

This gathering can be considered a belated welcome party.

"Okay, I'm ready. Let's ask Zhou Chaoyang and the others to come over together!"

Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded.

"I told them to come out after they got their stuff."

Chen Qiaoyi said hurriedly.

When the educated youths gather at the Youth League, everyone who attends the gathering will prepare their own food. Those who are better off will contribute more, and those who are less well-off will contribute less.

How much you contribute depends on your own preference.

Zhou Ziwen had plenty of food, so he was generous and brought a rabbit with him as a snack for everyone.

There are so many people in the Youth League Home, and if you bring a rabbit and share it among dozens of people, there won’t be much left.

"Let's go!"

After filling a bag of cornmeal at home, which was enough food for three people, they carried the rabbit and eggs, plus some vegetables and mushrooms. All in all, it was quite a lot.

After meeting up with Shen Zhaodi, Zhou Chaoyang and others, the group came to the Youth League Home.

"Hey, are we late? Is everyone here?"

When we arrived at the Youth League Home, we saw people coming and going, and everyone was busy preparing for today's dinner.

Some were cutting vegetables, some were washing vegetables, and some were setting up the scene.

"It's not late, it's not late, everyone just arrived too."

Seeing Zhou Ziwen coming, Zhang Qiang, Zhang Wenli and others hurried to greet him.

Zhou Ziwen had helped their piglets cure their illness before, which made them grateful, so they were very enthusiastic towards Zhou Ziwen this time.

When they saw the rabbit in Zhou Ziwen's hand, they became even more enthusiastic.

"Zhou Zhiqing is a rare guest! He hasn't been to our Zhiqingyuan for a long time."

"Of course not. Zhou Zhiqing is different from us. He's the leader of the Mushroom Group and a doctor, so it's normal for him to be busy."

"Zhou Zhiqing, come here, we have room."

"Zhou Zhiqing, sit next to me. There's plenty of room here."

…

When they saw Zhou Ziwen, the old educated youth greeted him warmly.

This scene surprised the new educated youth who had just arrived in the countryside.

However, they had not just come to the countryside today, and they knew some rumors about Zhou Ziwen.

I know that he is a special person among the educated youth who went to the countryside.

He is very capable and outstanding, and has a high status in the village.

Especially the female educated youth, they all looked at Zhou Ziwen differently.

Chen Shiying and Chen Qiaoyi were considered magnanimous, but they felt uncomfortable when they saw the looks of these female educated youth.

Fortunately, Zhou Ziwen was a serious man and didn't care about the looks of these female educated youth.

For him, having two sisters was enough. As for Shen Zhaodi, she was just a pleasant surprise.

"Ziwen, is your well ready?"

After chatting for a while, Zhou Qiang asked.

"Almost there. I guess we'll have water to drink tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded.

"That's great, Ziwen. When will you come and check on the well in our Youth House?"

Zhang Wenli asked expectantly.

"It's too late today. Let's go tomorrow. I'll come and take a look tomorrow."

Zhou Ziwen answered.

"That's great! If we had a well, we wouldn't have to go all the way to the village to fetch water."

Hearing this, Zhang Wenli became happy.

There are many educated youth in the Youth House, and they use a lot of water every day.

They took turns fetching water, and everyone had to fetch water, regardless of gender.

Some female educated youth were too weak to carry water, so they could only help the male educated youth with the work and let the male educated youth help carry the water.

Although Zhang Wenli is the team leader, she does not have any special privileges and still needs to fetch water.

However, she has a good relationship with Zhou Qiang and others, and they usually help her fetch water.

But although they helped, their help was not in vain. Sometimes Zhang Wenli also had to help them wash clothes or something, as a kind of exchange.

The well in the Youth League Courtyard is right in the middle of the yard, but it dried up many years ago.

Zhou Ziwen looked around the well. It was not dark outside yet, but the sun had already set and the visibility was not very good.

Fortunately, Zhou Ziwen had good eyesight and could see the bottom of the well at a glance.

As a result, Zhou Ziwen couldn't help but frowned at the first glance.

He frowned not because of anything else, but because there was a lot of garbage at the bottom of the well.

There is no doubt that this must have been done by the educated youth.

Some people are too lazy to take out their garbage, so they just throw it directly into the well. (End of this chapter)
