The next morning, Su Xia got up early, cooked a pot of porridge, steamed a pot of steamed bread, and fried a pot of cabbage.

As soon as the food was served on the table, Chen's father came in with three people. The leader was a little older, and the two behind him were younger.

"Brother Lu, this is my eldest daughter-in-law,"

"Dad, Uncle Lu, breakfast is ready, let's have breakfast first,"

"Niece, you are so polite." Lu Daguo looked at the table full of breakfast, which was very rich for his family, and rubbed his hands, nodding his head.

The two disciples had already secretly swallowed their saliva.

"Come on...brother, you need to eat to have strength, right?"

Father Chen led the three of them to sit down. Each of them took a steamed bun and started eating. The eldest daughter-in-law's cooking skills were really good.

The three of them became polite when they saw it and started eating with big mouthfuls.

Although there is no meat, the cabbage is fried with lard and tastes delicious.

Su Xia took the food in a separate bag to the bedroom and prepared to feed Niu Niu.

Seeing the sleeping Niuniu with her furry head sticking out, Su Xia rubbed her and woke her up immediately.

"Mom, are you bad?" Niu Niu was hiding, not yet awake.

"Your mother is bad... Then don't eat the food I cook. You'll be hungry later."

"Mom, you are the bad one. You are the best mother in the world..." Niu Niu hugged Su Xia's neck, rubbing her neck and acting coquettishly.

Su Xia just listened. This child is getting better and better at coaxing people.

While putting on thermal underwear, he put on a cotton coat and trousers, a light yellow top and black trousers on the outside, and cotton shoes on his feet. Of course, Su Xia also sewed patches on appropriately. Now that the weather is cold, she needs to wear more.

After the mother and daughter finished their meal, they let Niu Niu go to the old house to play.

After Su Xia finished packing, when she went to the backyard, three people had already started digging at the reserved location, which was close to the kitchen and convenient for getting water.

Several people came to see Su Xia and said hello, "Niece, your house is close to your in-laws' house, and it's easy to get water. His house got water 10 meters away. How much are you going to dig?"

"The price is still 8 yuan per meter, so I have to trouble you to exchange half of your wages for food." Lu Daguo felt a little ashamed, but when he thought of his wife and children at home, he still needed more food.

"Can you dig to 15 meters? I heard that the deeper the well, the sweeter the water tastes."

Su Xia thought that if she dug deeper, she would be short of water in the future.

Lu Daguo was naturally curious, but he didn't ask too many questions, after all, he was the boss.

Besides, the deeper the master digs, the more money he can earn.

The two apprentices were also very happy to hear that it was okay. If the order was completed, they could earn a little money and spend a comfortable year at home. Now everyone had enough to eat, let alone digging a well.

The three of them had a full meal in the morning, and seeing that Su Xia was open-minded, they began to dig hard.

Su Xia stood aside and watched for a while, then went back to prepare lunch.

The staple food for lunch is two-in-one steamed buns, which of course contain more corn flour and less white flour.

Su Xia used the An Qi she made herself and added a spoonful of sugar. The steamed buns were soft and sweet.

There is pork belly stewed with cabbage vermicelli, and pork slices with scrambled eggs with black fungus. The two meat dishes have a total of 1 pound of meat.

The pork belly was thin and large, enough for three people.

I also fried some hot and sour potato shreds and mixed some cucumbers. For the three masters and apprentices of Lu Daguo, today's meal was good enough to be a state banquet.

Master Lu and his two disciples had been digging for the whole morning and were already starving. This meal was extremely satisfying, and Su Xia was so proud of it that she felt a little embarrassed.

Su Xia knew her own cooking skills, but the people offline were short of oil and water, and her own seasonings were rich, so the food she cooked tasted delicious.

Su Xia was also very satisfied to see that the food she cooked was praised by others.

.......

"The water is coming out, the water is coming out..."

The three men found water on the morning of the third day of digging, and just as expected, the depth was only about 10 meters.

"Niece, are you still going to dig? The water we have now is enough for us to drink." Lu Daguo had been eating well these days, so he wanted to persuade her to dig less and save as much as possible.

All I can say is that people in this period were very simple and honest.

"Dig, keep digging, Uncle Lu"

Su Xia took a look and decided that she needed to dig a little more. She knew that there would be another drought next year, so she took this opportunity to dig a little more. It was possible that the well would still be of great use.

Su Xia thought of the 50 large barrels of tap water stored in her space.

........

After listening to this, Lu Daguo continued digging.

He took his two apprentices and carried the soil out in baskets. The soil became wetter and wetter as they went down.

The soil has begun to seep now. There is water under the soil, and slowly more and more water is coming out.

On the fourth day, the excavation was completed, but it was not over yet. The three men started to build the top from the bottom.

Su Xia asked the three people to put a layer of goose soft on the bottom to see who would be cleaner.

The walls around the bottom of the well were also built with stone blocks, and Lu Daguo also helped to smooth the area around the well mouth, using the stone blocks that Su Xia had brought to him.

A small wall was built above the wellhead, at a height suitable for drawing water. It was made of bricks and covered with cement on the outside, making it flat, clean and tidy.

Lu Daguo and his two apprentices threw away all the silt brought out from digging the well, saving Su Xia a lot of trouble.

Su Xia looked at the three people who had made the place clean and tidy, and felt that they had really put in a lot of effort. She could only sigh that the people nowadays worked really hard and were very honest.

Then Su Xia prepared a sumptuous meal to entertain the three people and settled their wages, a total of 80 yuan. 50 kilograms of corn flour and 2 kilograms of brown sugar were also given.

Although they earn a lot, they are also really tired. They dig and transport soil over and over again for several days, and their faces are covered in dust.

The three of them took it happily and went back happily. They all wanted to go home early and give their families some brown sugar water to sweeten their mouths.

A few days after the well was dug, Su Xia went to Zhao Chen's father's old house again.

"Dad, do you have time? I want to ask you to do something."

"What is it?"

When Father Chen sees his eldest daughter-in-law now, he feels a headache. This daughter-in-law is really troublesome and also costs money.

"Dad, it's nothing serious. Just put a windlass on the well we dug and wrap a twenty-meter-long hemp rope around it. This way it will be easier to draw water. Of course, a bucket of water weighs twenty kilograms, and it will take me until dark to pull it up with my strength."

"It's still dark, how come you said you'd fetch a bucket of water the next day? I think you're just too lazy to do anything."

Mother Chen was so angry that her liver ached when she heard this, but she couldn't help but complain. This eldest daughter-in-law was becoming more and more wasteful.

"Humph, mother, if you say that, next time I go to fetch water, I will come and call you to fetch water for me."

Su Xia was also angry, but it must be said that the original owner's personality was very useful. Look at the current Chen's mother, stop washing!

......Ha ha...

"Dad, do you think it's possible? Put a well windlass on the well, and it will be convenient to draw water. It will come up with a turn.

Once I get it, I'll go find my dad. I'm sure I can get it anyway. ”

"Can...can...

I will bring the second and third brothers to do it for you tomorrow, and it will be done in half a day. ”

Father Chen was also a little speechless. He hadn't said anything yet. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were arguing with each other. How could he still hold his head up when he asked the in-laws to come? This would allow outsiders to poke holes in his back, and they would think that he was bullying his eldest daughter-in-law.

"Okay, I'll wait at home then."

Then he went home, ignoring Mother Chen's anger and Father Chen's helplessness. He just patted his butt and went back.
