"Don't you think it's expensive?" Ling Xiao helped hold the railing.

"It's okay. It's a big project after all." Meng Qidi hammered the bamboo stake into the soil.

What can I say about wood crafts? Wood is not valuable these days, and one hundred yuan can be used to make a waterwheel.

After the guardrail was installed, Meng Qidi stared at the paint bucket in a daze.

Well, she is not omnipotent, although she asked Ling Xiao to buy varnish, but!

She won’t…

Ling Xiao sighed, "Let me do it..."

"You can?"

"Yeah, I know a little bit. The army has these." Ling Xiao nodded, pried open the paint bucket, and started mixing the paint.

Meng Qidi squatted down and asked curiously, "Does your army know everything? Do they know everything?"

"Not really. The army encourages people to do things by themselves so that they can have enough food and clothing. I learned how to paint, and many people can drive and repair cars."

"Is there no lazy person who can't do it?" Meng Qidi asked curiously.

"There are no lazy people, but there are definitely people who don't know how to do it. After all, not every profession can produce a top talent, right?"

Ling Xiao mixed the paint and was ready to start work. There was no need to scrape the bamboo tube with putty to make it smooth, just paint it directly to prevent it from rotting.

"I don't have to read in the afternoon, right?"

"What do you think?" Meng Qidi helped to move the wheelchair, "Don't try to be lazy!"

"I'm helping you paint, and I want to take it easy this afternoon..."

He said he was going to recuperate, so why is he still reading a book...

"Then you go into the house and read, I'll do it."

Ling Xiao...

Without the Meng family's interference, the days passed quickly. Meng Qidi only went to work every other day, and in her free time she tidied up the Ling family's interior.

The waterwheel arrived ten days later, and several people helped to set up the waterwheel over the stream.

The water flow drove the waterwheel to roll, and the clear stream water flowed from the waterwheel through the canal into the pond.

The two ponds and the wasteland were originally up and down, so it’s just right to go from top to bottom.

Considering that there is Yuquan water in the upper pond, if it is flushed directly, it will probably wash away the Yuquan water. Meng Qidi plans to directly clean the wasteland and then turn it into a pond...

However, once the water from the water truck started coming up, it couldn't stop, so Meng Qidi simply washed the wasteland for a whole day.

To prevent the fish from escaping, I went to the town and got a wire mesh to block the drain.

It took five days before the pond at the door was cleaned up.

"Are we all growing lotus roots?" Ling Jinyue asked, standing by the water.

"Well, why not just plant lotus roots and bring in some fish fry."

We will just keep this place at the door like this for now. When the lotus roots are ripe in the future, they can be sent to the troops and sold. We can also bring the fish over to sell then.

"Can I pull off one of these lotus flowers?" Ling Jinyue asked.

"No, you can wait until the lotus pods pick up a few." Meng Qidi refused without giving any face.

If we pick lotus flowers now, there will be fewer lotus roots.

Ling Jinyue pouted in dissatisfaction, "Meng Qidi, I was thinking of getting fish fry for you! You have no conscience."

Meng Qidi turned her head and asked, "Can you get some fish fry? Can you get some lotus seeds?"

"Of course, don't you see who I am? My friend has them at home. I helped you with the fish fry last time, so can I pick the flowers?"

"No! But..."

"But what?" Ling Jinyue asked quickly.

"If you can help me with the fish fry, I can give you a portion of what I make in the future, but you have to keep it a secret."

Ling Jinyue's eyes lit up, "No problem! Sister-in-law, just one word, when do you want it!"

Meng Qidi...

Isn’t she Meng Qidi now?

In early June, the Ling family was completely transformed under Meng Qidi's control. The house was surrounded by lush green, mixed with light pink and purple.

The vegetable garden behind the house is green, and the jujube trees are full of big red dates. The pond in front of the house is sparkling, full of lotus leaves, and from time to time a group of playful fish swim under the water...

The whole village is full of vitality...

"What are you daydreaming about? Get in the car."

Ling Xiao turned around and shouted to Meng Qidi who was outside the car.

Meng Qidi quickly climbed into the car and said, "I'm thinking about what to plant on the mountain over there."

“I really don’t know about that…”

Ling Xiao said he was helpless, as he really knew nothing about farming...

"Forget it. Let's get rid of the weeds on the hill first and make it fatter first."

To fertilize the hilltop, you just need to cut the weeds, dry them, and then burn them. Wood ash is the best fertilizer. Of course, she has Yuquan water that can also be used as fertilizer.

I have to wait until I finish all this work and then go to the top of the mountain to see how to do it.

My mother's new house will be completed in early June and a wedding banquet will be held, and Ling Xiao has to go to the city to check his leg today.

I go to the city for a checkup every three months. The medical level in the county is too poor, and a real follow-up check can't reveal anything.

The result of this review will determine Ling Xiao's future path. If his leg can be saved, he will stay in the team. If not, he will have to retire.

The car was a dump truck from the village. The couple sat in the front seat, and a bunch of villagers sat in the back of the truck, chattering.

Sitting down next to Ling Xiao, Meng Qidi was a little nervous. She didn't know if the lotion in the well had any effect on his legs...

However, there are still obvious effects of recovery. For example, he can jump on one leg very smoothly, and his lower body is more stable than hers when he stands on one leg.

Noticing that Meng Qidi was distracted, Ling Xiao raised his hand and patted her shoulder.

"Don't be nervous. No matter how bad the outcome is, it can't be that the other leg is also broken."

"Don't talk nonsense." Meng Qidi glared at him unhappily. How could this guy curse her?

After getting off the bus in the town, Meng Qidi took the wheelchair handed down by the villagers in the back of the bus, said thank you, and said goodbye to everyone.

After working for half a month, the villagers' impression of her has changed, especially the Ling family's land. Those who have been there are particularly envious.

The watery pond and the lush green vegetable fields...

In fact, some people in the village have begun to believe that Meng Qidi can bring good luck. This woman really has a way to change the fate of the Ling family. The Ling family lives better than anyone else.

Not to mention the changes in the Ling family, even for the work in the village, this was the first time they had planted rice seedlings so early. If it was a long time ago, they would not have finished until mid-June...

When they arrived at the station, Meng Qidi quickly put away the wheelchair and held it in her hands. When the bus arrived, she quickly walked up to Ling Xiao, holding him with one hand and leading the way with the hand holding the wheelchair.

She got on the bus in the crowd, pushed her wheelchair forward, and quickly grabbed a single row seat.

It's not that she doesn't respect the elderly and love the young. These days, it's hard to promote this virtue. If you give up your seat, the old man or old lady might think that this kid is stupid...

Ling Xiao was pushed into the seat, the wheelchair was placed in front of him, and people stood beside him, all in one go.

Don't ask her why she blocked Ling Xiao so tightly. She was really afraid that this nice guy would get up and give up his seat. It was not easy for her to grab a seat.

There were more and more people on the bus. If Ling Xiao hadn't been quick to pull her back, Meng Qidi would have been squeezed to the point of nearly falling over several times...

The car was crowded, and Meng Qidi had already prepared herself mentally. She didn't dare to keep the money on her body, so she used her pocket as a cover to put the money into the space.

Seeing Meng Qidi staggering from the shock, Ling Xiao frowned slightly and simply pulled her over.

Meng Qidi was completely caught off guard by Ling Xiao's move, and was pulled directly into the man's arms...
