Chapter 127: Waterwheel in the Pond
Shen Yueyao couldn't help but smile when she heard what Qiu said.
When Mrs. Qiu saw Shen Yueyao smiling, she felt that the sunshine in the sky was even brighter and more brilliant.
How can a person be so beautiful?
Such a good-looking person, it makes me feel good just looking at him every day.
Qiu thought of how fat Shen Yueyao looked before.
At that time, Shen Yueyao was fat, and everyone just looked at her and thought she was fat, so naturally they couldn't tell what she would look like when she lost weight.
I didn’t expect she was such a beauty.
No wonder Dabao and Erbao are so good-looking.
If both parents are so good-looking, the child will naturally be good-looking too.
While talking, Shen Yueyao also talked about business, "Aunt Qiu, is Uncle Lin at home?"
Mrs. Qiu was stunned. She didn't expect Shen Yueyao to come to see the head of the village. She knew it must be important business.
Whenever people from the village came to her house to see her family member, it was for serious business.
Mrs. Qiu said with a hint of worry, "Your Uncle Lin didn't sleep well because it didn't rain. The village wants to dig another well, so he skipped lunch and went out to check the terrain."
Shen Yueyao said, "Aunt Qiu, to be honest, I came here for this matter. I wanted to help find a water source."
Shen Yueyao is not a nosy person.
But she understood that farming and watering the fields concerned everyone in the village.
Having water would also be convenient for them.
And if the villagers remember her kindness because of this incident, it will be much easier for her to do anything in the village in the future.
In this era, if you want to live in a village, you still have to integrate into the village.
Besides, she plans to open a workshop in the village in the future.
Hearing this, Qiu couldn't sit still any longer, "Yao Niang, I'm going to go find my husband right now."
Madam Meng often praised Shen Yueyao in front of Mrs. Qiu.
So even the Qiu family believed in Shen Yueyao's ability.
Shen Yueyao said, "Aunt Qiu, I'll go with you."
"good."
Qiu and Shen Yueyao found the village head in the fields.
The village head sighed while holding a hoe.
"If I had learned a little bit of my ancestors' abilities, I wouldn't be so helpless now."
The village head felt extremely guilty.
When Mrs. Qiu passed by, she happened to hear these words. She felt sorry for her husband and said, "You have a stubborn head. Your grandfather passed away in a hurry and didn't have time to teach you and dad how to read geography and find water sources. You don't understand normal things, so why are you sighing here?"
"Besides, it's not just our village that's not raining. It's the same in other villages too. Don't let your imagination run wild."
Qiu felt sorry for Lin Zhengshan.
The village head, Lin Zhengshan, saw his wife coming and said, "Didn't I tell you to stay home? Why are you here?"
"The work in the fields is done by the boss and his family, you don't have to worry about it."
The village head also has several acres of land, which is usually taken care of by his eldest son and his family.
During the busy farming season, we hire temporary workers.
Qiu helped with cooking at home.
As for the second son in their family, Lin Chi, he helps out at home when he is busy, and drives an ox cart out to earn some money when he is not busy.
"It was Yao Niang who came to you to talk about finding a water source."
Upon hearing this, the village head suddenly became alert. He turned around and saw Shen Yueyao not far away.
"Madam Su, are you talking about finding a water source? Do you know how to find water or how to dig a well?"
The village head respects everyone's ideas. Maybe Shen Yueyao's idea really works.
Chen Yueyao said, "Uncle Lin, I went to the mountains before and saw the lush green vegetation. I thought there must be a water source there. I saw a pool of water in the valley on the mountain before, with water leaking from the cracks in the rocks. I think there must be groundwater there..."
"And judging by the cliff, there should have been a waterfall there before."
Qiu and Lin Zhengshan became excited after hearing this.
Even Mrs. Qiu's eyes widened, and she looked at Shen Yueyao excitedly and said, "Mother Yao, is what you said... is it true?"
Shen Yueyao nodded and said, "Well, I know the place. I'll take you there first."
“Okay, okay, okay…”
The village head said yes and then came to his senses and walked towards that place excitedly.
In fact, Shen Yueyao had another idea in her mind, which was to dig along the pond, dig a big pond, and then put a waterwheel in it.
With water trucks to irrigate farmland, people don’t have to work so hard to water the fields.
Of course, just stick with it for two months.
If you persist for two months, it will rain.
Shen Yueyao firmly believed in Su Xueyi's words.
However, building a waterwheel would be a large-scale project.
She needs to think about it carefully.
In this way, they went up the mountain.
After walking in for a while, Mrs. Qiu said a little uncomfortably, "I heard there are poisonous snakes and wild beasts here. It's quite scary."
"I heard from the older generation that someone in the village was bitten by a poisonous snake and died on the spot. Another person also lost his life while hunting in the mountains. That's why villagers were not allowed to go deep into the mountains anymore."
The village head said, "There's nothing we can do now. Don't overthink it. The most important thing is to find the pond."
