Sun Lingyu sneered after hearing this.
It’s good enough that Ye Qingshui knows how to use the water-finding instrument, so why let her do it?
That's just wishful thinking.
Not to mention that she didn't believe Ye Qingshui could make such a thing, even a random person would probably not believe it. Ye Qingshui, who only graduated from elementary school and could barely recognize words, dared to dream of making a water finder in one step? Sun Lingyu looked at Ye Qingshui and nodded happily:
"If you can dig it out, I'll even admit my mistake at the criticism meeting!"
When Sun Lingyu said this without hesitation, Xie Tingyu frowned.
How much does one have to despise Ye Qingshui to agree to this so readily? If it were someone else, maybe Xie Tingyu would kindly give a reminder or two, but this Sun Lingyu...
Xie Tingyu said softly: "Do you have anything else to do? I still have to apply medicine."
Sun Lingyu blushed and left.
After Ye Qingshui finished applying the powder to Xie Tingyu, she heard him say:
"You've had a hard time during this period."
During the past half month since the water supply was cut off, Ye Qingshui not only had to fetch water from the mountains several miles away every day and take care of the injured at home, but he also had to run to the city every day and engage in speculation and profiteering. As a result, his legs became thinner due to all the running around.
Ye Qingshui couldn't help but laugh in his heart. What does he know? Compared with the hardship in the previous life, this little bit of hardship is nothing. The harder days are over. Now is the time to taste the sweetness.
“It’s not hard.”
She said softly, and put her clothes on him.
Xie Tingyu said: "When you hit the water, it will definitely surprise many people."
Ye Qingshui laughed in his heart again, this is really not necessarily true.
In the afternoon, she and Zhou Tingting carefully searched the farmland with the "natural electric field water finder" and finally found a thin source of water under the rock. The stronger the electric field induction, the shallower the water is buried. Ye Qingshui circled the point where the water finder had the strongest induction and reserved it for digging a well.
She went to find the team leader Ye Laoliu and tried to assign some laborers to dig a new well.
Ye Laoliu was silent for a long time after hearing this. He pulled his hair and sighed, "Shuiya, now everyone is busy digging wells and planting rice. Usually, when girls quarrel, I won't say anything to you, but don't make trouble at this critical moment..."
The tone was like an adult coaxing a unreasonable child.
Zhou Tingting shook her ponytail and said indignantly: "This is the result of our hard work for half a month. How can you say it is unreasonable!" She began to try to explain the difference of the water-finding instrument made by Ye Qingshui.
But Ye Laoliu didn't listen much, and gestured impatiently: "Kid, don't talk to me about this, I don't understand. Shuiya really doesn't have this ability, what does she know. Let's hurry up to dig wells and plant rice, don't think about making trouble all day long."
Zhou Tingting was so angry that her liver hurt. She asked the members to dig a well, but no one was willing to come forward after asking around. The lazy people were unwilling to do it, and the hardworking people looked to the authority of the educated youth. On one side were the educated youth from the capital, and on the other side were the wild girls from the mountains who barely finished elementary school.
It is clear at a glance which side is light and which side is heavy.
"If we really did dig water, you guys wouldn't have to come here to get water. This well should be called 'Qingshui Well'. From the beginning to the completion, every bit of it is the result of Shuiya's hard work. No one in the village helped her. Not only did they not help her, they even ridiculed her."
Ye Qingshui had already prepared herself mentally, but she felt warm in her heart when she heard Zhou Tingting's words.
She pulled Zhou Tingting and said, "Don't push yourself. Let's dig a well as soon as possible. The sooner we dig, the sooner we can get water. Running so far to fetch water every day is exhausting."
In her previous life, Ye Qingshui had truly experienced the feeling of being looked down upon for decades. Later, she made money and returned to her hometown. The villagers still regarded her as an incompetent wild girl. How could such a wild girl be so capable of making money and living so well? Wouldn't it be more powerful for them to go out and make a living?
Some people are like this, always questioning others and judging right and wrong based on vague impressions. For such people, just make achievements and don't say anything more.
Grandma Ye and Mother Ye patted their chests and expressed their full support for Shui Ya's well digging.
The old lady said with a straight face: "Shui Ya, you will definitely be able to pump out water now that you have that instrument. I still have the strength to move soil and drill rocks for you."
Shen Weimin and Liu Yiliang also came to help dig the well. Although they didn't quite believe Ye Qingshui, they believed in Xie Tingyu. If Brother Yu asked them to work, they had to work hard.
So the six men braved the scorching sun, rubbing their hands and digging the ground with great effort.
Ten members dug a well ten meters deep for half a month, and the progress was really slow, because there were some lazy people who took advantage of the situation. Now Ye Qingshui and the other six people all spared no effort, and it would take less than a week to dig a well ten meters deep.
…
The days of working hard passed by very quickly like flowing water.
In the morning, he opened his eyes and started working. After work, he took a nap at night. The day was over. Xie Tingyu stayed in the house for more than half a month to recover from his injury. As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, but the young man's body seemed to be full of miracles. In less than a month, he had already boldly tested the edge of danger. He worked very hard on his rehabilitation activities and completed twice as much every day.
For a man like him to remain calm while lying in bed like a cripple was already a great example of grace. But in fact, deep down, he still couldn't stand this kind of recuperation.
On this day, Xie Tingyu woke up very early. After waking up, he carefully got out of bed with his toes touching the ground.
In the early morning, the distant mountains outside the window were covered with a thick layer of fog, and the grass in front of the door was covered with dewdrops. There was a slight chill in the air, indicating that summer was almost over.
Xie Tingyu struggled to get out of bed, relieved himself with the chamber pot, and washed his hands with the spring water in the basin. After doing all this, Xie Tingyu's forehead was already covered with sweat. Cold sweat, hot sweat, all kinds of sweat.
He slowly moved back to the bed and glanced towards the west room. He frowned when he saw Ye Qingshui's haphazard sleeping posture.
Ye Qingshui was sleeping soundly, lying flat on the ground in a relaxed posture. In the middle of the night, she kicked off the quilt because she felt too hot.
The quilt was draped across her belly. She was wearing a dark grey short-sleeved shirt, which was very torn, small and old, and her skin, which was exposed to the air, was so cold that it caused pimples to form.
Xie Tingyu wanted to go over and cover her with a blanket, but the short walk seemed like a century.
In the dim morning light, he slowly squatted down and looked at her. Xie Tingyu's thick brows gradually wrinkled.
In the past few months, Ye Qingshui had eaten and drank well, eating meat and drinking soup every now and then, and her complexion had improved, her face was fair and rosy. She had grown a lot of flesh visibly, and was gradually developing. She was no longer the skinny and flat little girl she used to be.
The shabby clothes could not hide her growing body. The girl's slender body was like a flower bud, gentle and reserved, gradually opening up. She wore small and torn clothes with several patches on them. The hems of her trousers revealed a large part of her white legs. Her chest was bulging, as if it was oppressed.
Are you...so poor?
Xie Tingyu frowned.
Ten feet of cloth was more than enough to make a set of clothes, and the cloth cost less than two yuan. She was so poor that she couldn't even afford to buy a new piece of clothing, but she was quite generous in not accepting the living expenses he gave her. She even had the mind to tear off a large piece of black cloth to cover her shame, and Xie Tingyu's temples jumped.
Fortunately, she didn't dress so poorly when she went out.
Xie Tingyu quickly looked away.
He hurriedly pulled the quilt over Ye Qingshui and stood up. Xie Tingyu grew up among men and had never been in such close contact with a woman. His head was a little swollen early in the morning, and he felt a sharp pain when his muscles were stretched. He stumbled and fell.
Ye Qingshui suddenly woke up and groaned as he was being crushed.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Ye Qingshui looked at Xie Tingyu with a dark face, like a young wife who had been taken advantage of, and quickly stood up. She was also angry, so she helped him up and accused him:
"Why are you running around so early in the morning instead of sleeping well?"
"You are taking advantage of your good health and wasting it recklessly. One day you will suffer the consequences."
"What did you say you were doing just now?"
Xie Tingyu listened to the chattering in his ears. Although his face was gloomy, his ears gradually turned red.
He said, "Let me go first."
Ye Qingshui looked at his cold face, then suddenly let go of him and threw his crutch to him.
"I was just covering you with a blanket." said Xie Tingyu.
After saying this, he looked at the poor little girl in her thin old clothes and said, "The weather is getting cold. Make her some new clothes after you are done with this."
"I still have some cloth coupons."
He didn't know where to put his eyes, but she was like a magnet, attracting people's attention. It was really a burden to be cared for by such a poor and lovely little girl.
Ye Qingshui looked at Xie Tingyu suspiciously.
At this time, Zhou Tingting's anxious voice came from outside the window:
"Shui Ya, Shui Ya...are you up? Are you up? Our well has water!"
"It was one night, and suddenly there was water! Hurry up and wash up and go take a look, hurry up!"
Zhou Tingting vaguely saw that the two people in the room had woken up, jumping and dancing with joy, and the only thing missing was beating gongs and drums. This was such an exciting event that even a whole village parading with drums would not be an exaggeration.
Zhou Tingting wanted to share this top priority with Ye Qingshui first.
When she came to the well alone and prepared to dig, she suddenly found that the well was no longer empty and dark, and the clear water was sparkling in the dim light. Zhou Tingting was so excited that she almost fell into the well.
She held a bucket of cool well water in front of Ye Qingshui, her eyes slightly reddened and she was so moved that she was about to cry:
"This well water is so sweet, and tastes better than the water in the mountains. Shuiya, let's go get some water and fill up the water jars. We don't have to go to the mountains to carry water anymore."
In fact, there were very few people in the brigade who could own a bicycle, and they could be counted on one hand. Those with better conditions borrowed the brigade's small carts and took turns using them, while those with worse conditions had to carry the water on their shoulders and hands. A bucket of water could tire people to death.
Although living in the mountains, Zhou Tingting, like most city people, has not had a good bath for a long time.
Ye Qingshui took the bucket Zhou Tingting handed over and took a sip. The well water was sweet without any astringency. It was indeed top-quality water for civilian use. The water from the new well could be used for cooking after sedimentation and filtering out the silt. This was truly an unexpected surprise.
She woke up her grandmother and mother and told them the news.
Grandma and mother were also shocked when they heard the news. Although they were brainless braggarts about their granddaughter/daughter, they did not expect that she would ejaculate so quickly.
The wrinkles on the grandmother's face deepened with joy, and she boasted even more: "Shui Ya really made our Ye family proud! That aunt was a great find!"
A Niang's eyes were red with excitement. She couldn't speak and was just busy taking the bucket to fetch the first bucket of water from the new well.
A depth of less than ten meters is enough to extract groundwater, which shows that her "natural electric field water detector" is very sensitive!
