Several able-bodied young men quickly set up the basic frame, attached the round wheels, and secured the wooden cart. Immediately, people sat on it.
With a stomp of the foot, the tall, round wheel began to spin, stirring the water with a splashing sound. A farmer working in the nearby fields immediately ran over to see what was happening: "Village chief, what is this?"
"Do you know we can't afford bicycles, so you put them here for us to have some fun?" said the person pedaling the bike as he spoke.
His words made everyone burst into laughter. After they finished laughing, someone pulled him down and stepped on him themselves, saying, "Uncle Village Chief, it's really fun to step on him!"
The village chief had only gone to get a few bamboo poles when he saw a bunch of troublemakers stomping on them. He immediately got angry: "Who told you to go up there and stomp on them? What if you break them? Get down here right now!"
But everyone was so engrossed in their activities that no one wanted to leave. In the end, the village chief had no choice but to resort to deducting work points to finally get rid of them!
After driving the people away, the village chief picked up a rather thin bamboo stick and asked, "Young man from the Xiao family, what should we do with this?"
Xiao Gengwu picked up the bamboo and the knife and started chopping. His movements were a bit slow, after all, he didn't have that much strength. The village chief couldn't stand it and said, "Are you going to chop the bamboo into small bamboo tubes?"
Xiao Gengwu nodded, and the village chief immediately beckoned two strong young men: "Tell them how many you need and how long you want them. You don't need to lift a finger!"
The person called to work happened to have met Xiao Gengwu before, and had even bullied him. Now that he was being asked to work as an assistant, he immediately became unhappy: "Village chief, how can you believe the words of a fool?"
These words shocked and enraged the village chief, who slapped the speaker on the back with his large, fan-like hand: "If you can't speak, then don't speak. This was all done by that brat Xiao. If you were smart, could you have done it?"
"It's just a gadget, anyone can make it! Now you're asking me to make it for you, I don't know what kind of hallucinogenic drugs he gave you!"
"You, get out of here!" The village chief called over the group leader next to him: "Take him away, starting tomorrow he'll be carrying manure!"
"What? Why should I be the one to carry manure? He's an idiot, and I didn't say anything wrong!"
The village chief glanced back and saw Xiao Gengwu looking at the bamboo tube by himself, seemingly oblivious to everyone else's conversation. Relieved, he turned back and glared fiercely at the talkative brat.
"Why should I? Because I'm the village chief! You try not to complain!"
These threatening words deflated the young man in front of him. They had always called Xiao Gengwu that way, so why did the village chief suddenly say that they couldn't call him that anymore?
What bad luck! He rarely does manual labor, and now he's being asked to carry manure? That's going to kill him!
After the people left, the village chief went over to help: "They've seen you before, but you didn't say anything, so they said that to you. Once you put on this act, they'll know how smart you are!"
Unfortunately, his words did not receive a response from Xiao Gengwu. At this moment, he was already immersed in his own thoughts and completely detached from reality.
Geniuses have exceptional concentration; once they enter a thinking mode, it's very difficult to interrupt them. Of course, with Yao Tongjia around, her mind can be switched back at any time.
Seeing that Xiao Gengwu was ignoring him, the village chief was filled with anxiety, wondering if Xiao Gengwu was angry. In his heart, the village chief cursed that brat to the core!
When Yao Tongjia finished tidying up the yard and came over, the village chief saw that Xiao Gengwu was still silent, so he had no choice but to tell Yao Tongjia what had happened: "I don't know if that kid has something wrong with his head, how dare he say such a thing!"
It's not that they have a problem with their minds. Before, their family of several people lived here because of their master's medical skills. Now their master is no longer working here.
Those young people just won't give me face!
Seeing the village chief's anxious look, Yao Tongjia comforted him, "He's entered his own thoughts, so we'll have to wait for him to come out before we talk about it. It's not that he's ignoring you."
"Otherwise, my mom wouldn't have let me come! She was afraid something like this would happen, and you wouldn't know how worried you'd be! He's really fine, don't worry!"
Hearing that Xiao Gengwu wasn't blaming him, he breathed a sigh of relief but was also curious: "Can a person concentrate like that?"
"Just look at what he makes, and you'll know he's definitely a talented person. We can't use common sense to guess about someone like that!"
The village chief saw Xiao Gengwu piercing a hole with a small wire, accidentally breaking his skin. He immediately took the small bamboo tube and said, "Let me do it, let me do it. Your hands are so delicate, it must hurt a lot if you break your skin!"
Xiao Gengwu didn't compete with the village chief. He quickly made more than a dozen bamboo tubes and then took a few small plastic buckets. He spent a lot of money on these small plastic buckets!
You should know that plastic isn't cheap these days!
Xiao Gengwu quickly set up a water-pushing platform himself, connecting the bamboo tubes one by one. Seeing that the size was just right, Xiao Gengwu smiled and said, "It's ready!"
"Is it okay? Can I try it? I'll step on it myself, I'll step on it myself!" The village chief was so excited that he was almost incoherent.
Xiao Gengwu handed him several plastic buckets: "Put the buckets in this spot!"
Xiao Gengwu pointed to the hook on the wheel, and the village chief immediately nodded, put the bucket on it, and then, with trembling hands and feet, got onto the wooden bicycle.
He took a deep breath and stomped down hard. It was a bit heavy, so he increased the pressure. After only a few stomps, he saw the water fill the plastic bucket.
After turning it two or three more times, the water poured onto the water pumping platform, and then what did he see? He saw a fine spray of water shooting out, with a very long range.
The water even reached the edge of the fields. People who were watering the fields suddenly felt the water hitting their faces and shouted happily, "It's raining! It's raining! Time to call it a day!"
Everyone: "........" Where did this idiot come from?!
The educated youth: "......." I really want to cover my face! The sun is still high in the sky, is he dreaming?!
Actually, the educated youth all wanted it to rain. The heavy labor was too hard, and everyone hoped that it would rain so they wouldn't have to work!
After the initial mockery, someone quickly noticed that the water was being shot at them: "Look what the village chief is doing! Why is water being sprayed at us? My clothes are getting wet!"
The village chief was overjoyed and full of energy. It really could automatically lift water and water plants. It was wonderful!
Just sit here and step on the pedals to water the fields. This is so much easier than before, not to mention that the watering area is very wide, and this whole field can be watered!
People ran over, chattering: "Village chief, village chief, are you watering the plants? What is this? It's amazing! Does this mean we won't have to carry water anymore?"
The village chief was in a good mood and didn't get angry: "You don't need to fetch water here, but you still need to fetch water in other places!"
Before Xiao Gengwu could finish speaking, he said, "This can be installed in other places too!"
