The Song family watched as Master Cao took a hose from the car, slowly stretched it, and lowered one end into the river while attaching the other end to the car. He then took out another long hose and firmly attached it to the other side of the car. He then placed the other end of the hose in the dry field.
After that, he took out a scoop and scooped a scoop of water from the bucket on the car, opened the lid on the machine, and poured the water in.
A large group of people gathered around, watching curiously, their hearts pounding with anticipation and fear. After all, this was the first time they had seen this thing.
Soon, Master Cao finished all of this, screwed a handle onto the machine, and began to turn it vigorously. He seemed to be struggling, but after turning the machine a few times, the speed began to increase, as if he was no longer pushing, but the handle was leading him.
Master Cao let go of his hand at the right time, and at this time the car made a loud "dengdengdeng" noise.
"What's that sound?"
"Is it ready? Will it be out soon?"
Everyone in the team was startled when they heard the sudden sound, but soon their attention was drawn to the moving water pipe.
The car started up, and after the air in the pipe was sucked out, the water in the river was sucked in, slowly filling the pipe. The powerful impact swung the pipe, and a visible water column came all the way to the machine, and then passed through the machine and flowed to the hose on the other side.
With a "puff", white water sprayed out and poured heavily into the dry land.
"Wow!" When the people in the team saw this scene, they couldn't help but exclaimed.
"It's coming out of the water, it's really coming out of the water!"
"This is too fast, it's amazing!"
"Oh, now that we have this water pump, we don't have to carry water anymore!"
Witnessing this scene for the first time was a huge shock to the entire group. They had been busy working in the fields for most of their lives and had never imagined they would see such a scene again.
Some of the older generation were already wiping away tears: "Great, great! Technology has really advanced. Our country can now produce such amazing things."
"Yes, I believe things will get better and better in the future, and our country will gradually become stronger.
Come. "
"I have to tell my grandson to study hard. He might even be able to contribute to the country if he becomes educated."
"You have to study hard. Once you have enough education, you won't have to work in the fields like us for the rest of your life."
“…”
Everyone in the team was excited, their emotions were surging, and they felt indescribable excitement in their hearts.
The people of the Old Song family were the same, unable to utter a single word, as if no words could express their current feelings. Moreover, the scene before them only made their inner convictions even stronger.
Master Cao has heard these words many times, and each time they come, they still touch him deeply. He feels a deep sense of pride, and like everyone else, he hopes for the prosperity of his motherland.
All his emotions were suppressed as Master Cao ran to the end of the hose, pulled it, and began to water. He lifted the hose high, slightly pinching the outlet with his hand, and the water splashed down from the air and seeped into the ground.
This speeds up watering countless times. Looking back, everyone in the team actively helps out, some pulling the hose, others controlling the sprinkler. The only thing they all have in common is that they are all extremely careful, afraid of damaging this precious thing.
They worked like this until the evening, and nearly one-third of the team's land had been watered, which was more than the amount of water all of them carried in a week.
If it weren't for the limited length of the pipe, which required moving the pump a while later, the speed would have been even faster. However, even so, the team was satisfied.
Moreover, after working all day under the scorching sun, no one complained of being tired. They all watched with great interest, their excitement never calming down. Even when it got dark and they had to go home, they were still discussing this matter.
"It's been less than a day, and we've already watered so much land. This is incredibly fast!"
"That's right. I think it won't take more than three days. Our team can finish watering it in a day and a half at most."
"Now we can save our food. Otherwise, with the severe drought this year, who knows how many people would have died from the drought."
"This water pump is truly amazing! Next time I go to my father-in-law's place, I can brag to them that our brigade has a water pump! Hahahahaha..."
The person next to you
They couldn't help laughing and scolded, "Look at how little you can do."
Turning around, he added, "I want to go out and show off too! Hahaha, other brigades don't have this and still have to fetch water every day!"
"Yes, this saves us a lot of effort. My wife has been complaining about back pain these days, and my back also hurts a bit. Now it's all gone. With this pump, I don't feel any pain or fatigue at all!"
“Hahahahahahaha…”
Everyone was talking happily along the way, their faces full of joy, and their laughter could be heard from far away. As they were talking, someone else said:
"By the way, this is all thanks to Jianye. If it weren't for him, our team might not have this this year."
"Yes, Jianye did a good deed this time. Not only did he get the reward, but our entire team also benefited from it."
“…”
Everyone started talking about Song Jianye. They had initially been a little jealous that he could get so much for saving someone, but now they were filled with envy and gratitude. After all, if it weren't for him, the brigade wouldn't have a water pump this year, and they would have to carry water for the fields every day.
They are not ungrateful people. They can't just be jealous of others behind their backs even in this situation.
However, while they were grateful, some people were less than pleased. Mrs. Tian had originally been excited about not having to carry water anymore, and seeing the new pump, she was also quite excited. But when she heard everyone praising the Song family, her face suddenly drooped.
The Song family, the Song family, the Song family again. How come they're never done saving someone? Another reward from the county, another from the city, and now even the water pump is attributed to the Song family? They really know how to flatter!
Mrs. Tian didn't want to listen to them bragging about the Song family anymore, so she walked away quickly with a sullen face.
......
The sky outside slowly began to darken, and the Song family members returned home. After all, it was their first time seeing this water pump, so they were inevitably a little excited. They talked along the way, with excited smiles on their faces.
Especially the little ones, they were originally playing in the big team, and then other little ones in the team came over and told everyone the news, so they heard it and ran over too, and then watched there for the whole afternoon.
"The water pump is amazing! Just shake it a few times and water comes out!"
“Yes, good God
It's strange, why can it absorb water from the river?"
"Besides, isn't the water in the river a little green, and there's dirt in it? Why is the water coming out so white?!"
“…”
At this moment, all the younger ones were asking a hundred thousand questions. However, even though Yuanbao and the others asked, the oldest two, Bowen and Boyu, could not explain clearly. After all, Boyu had only been in the fourth grade and had not learned this knowledge.
Yuanbao turned around and asked Song Jianye, Song Aiguo and the others, but they couldn't explain it either. Song Jianye thought for a moment and said, "You should be able to learn these things in the future. Study hard, and then your uncle will be waiting for you to tell me the principles behind it."
When these words came out, the children's eyes widened and they asked, "Really? Can we learn all this in school? In what grade can we learn it?"
Song Jianye couldn't say for sure. When he was young, the Song family was very poor. While everyone in the brigade only went to school for two years, he went to the fifth grade. However, it was still far from enough and he was not yet at the level to learn this knowledge.
He thought for a moment and said, "Junior high school, you should be able to learn it once you get there."
Although junior high school was still a long way off for Yuanbao and Tianen, it had to be said that these words had intensified their enthusiasm for learning. Just thinking about the knowledge they would gain in school made them excited.
"You are all sweaty. Hurry up and wash up. It will be time for dinner later." Chen Xiuxiu listened to the whole process and then urged the younger ones.
Although they were still excited, the little ones still obediently went to take a shower first. After they came out refreshed, the food was served on the table.
Lying in bed at night, the children closed their eyes and the image of the pump pumping water to irrigate the fields still came to their minds. The white stream of water rushed out, irrigating the dry land, and also planted a seed in their hearts...
.......
The next day, maybe because of excitement, the little ones got up earlier than usual and hurriedly started brushing their teeth and washing their faces. They wanted to run outside without even having breakfast.
Feng Guizhi called them back. Knowing that the children were anxious to see the water pump, she said, "Finish your meal first. The master also needs to eat now. You won't be able to see it if you go."
Yuanbao and the others thought so too.
Only then did he control his emotions and finish his breakfast honestly.
After finishing their meal, the children started waiting again. Feng Guizhi and the others didn't waste any more time and simply packed up to take them there. However, before leaving, Feng Guizhi looked at the children's faces and turned back to get some straw hats and clean towels.
"Wear it."
The little ones' faces were red, and they were obviously getting sunburned. The sun was very strong outside today, and if they got any more sun, getting tanned wouldn't be a big deal; they would definitely get sunburned.
However, even though they were all the same outside, Baoya's little face was still fair and tender, with a slight blush on her cheeks, indicating heat.
The team members spent the entire day watching over the fields they were responsible for, ensuring they were properly irrigated. By the end of the day, less than a third of the team's fields were left unwatered.
Everyone was happy, but something happened before the next day.
