The village chief was now in a panic: "Really, they can all be filled? The water level in other places isn't this high, and they can still be filled there?"
"Even if the water level is low, there are designs for low water levels; it can even be installed in a single well!"
Xiao Gengwu's words immediately made the village chief's hands tremble. Of course, this was out of excitement. His heart was pounding, as if he were a first love seeing his beloved. He looked at Xiao Gengwu.
Unfortunately, Xiao Gengwu was more like a heartless scumbag, not even glancing at the village chief. The village chief could only look at Yao Tongjia, who was both amused and exasperated.
"Village chief, you should first send someone to get more timber and put it in our yard. Once he sees it, he won't be able to resist taking action!"
"That's a good suggestion," the village chief immediately shouted. "Everyone here, come with me up the mountain to cut down trees. Let's go now, let's go now!"
The village chief led the way, then suddenly turned around as if he had just remembered something: "Group leader, I'm handing this watering machine over to you. You'd better keep a close eye on it and arrange for a few people to go up and operate it."
"This field doesn't need watering for now. I'll go find the brigade leader and have him come and watch over it!"
Speaking of the squad leader, someone behind him shouted, "You old geezer, when did you get this?"
The village chief turned around and sure enough, it was the brigade leader and the village party secretary. He rubbed his hands together and grinned from ear to ear: "Come and see, this is the guy I brought back!"
He must have reported it to the county before, and they were skeptical at the time, but in the end they agreed to take the risk.
"Can it really water the plants?" The brigade leader was skeptical. They had been at the brigade headquarters and hadn't come here at all.
The village chief, as nimble as a young man, immediately ran back to his seat: "Let me demonstrate for you, watch carefully!"
The village chief stomped his foot a few times, and water gushed out. Although the water was very fine and small, it did shoot very far.
Almost the entire field had been affected, and now the brigade leader and the village secretary were both flustered. The two of them quickly ran over and pulled the village chief down together, saying, "Get down, get down, let us try too!"
So, the brigade leader went up and tried it out, but before he was satisfied, the village secretary pulled him back down. The three men, all over fifty years old, performed a toy-grabbing trick in front of the young people.
Everyone: "......." If we keep watching these three acting so childishly, will we get in trouble?
The three giants quickly reached an agreement, and the captain arranged for people to ride the bikes here and keep an eye on the treasures to prevent them from being damaged.
As previously arranged, the village chief went up the mountain to cut down trees, while the village party secretary went to other fields to supervise the work of others.
After they finished making arrangements, the three giants turned around, revealing what they thought were benevolent smiles, wanting to warm up to Xiao Geng, only to find that he was nowhere to be found!
The three giants: "..."
Everyone: "..." That ingratiating smile is so creepy!
The village chief remembered Yao Tongjia's words: "I'll take some people to cut down trees first, move the wood to Dr. Xiao's yard, and let him do what he wants."
"Even if we can't come up with anything else, we've already made our money's worth with this watering machine!"
That makes sense. They still hold onto the old impression of that young man from the Xiao family, so he's not someone who can be reasoned with.
Yao Tongjia led Xiao Gengwu back to their original courtyard. When she came to tidy up earlier, the village chief thoughtfully called a few people to help.
Aunt Xue comes to tidy up the yard from time to time. The furniture is covered with a thin layer of dust, but everything else is fine. The yard is full of vegetables, which are growing better than when they were here!
Yao Tongjia was in a hurry to see Xiao Gengwu, so she didn't clean up all the rooms, only the two rooms where they used to live.
The quilts, pillows, and mats that were previously placed on the kang cabinet have been taken out to be washed and are now drying in the sun. In this kind of weather, even stones can be scorched by the sun.
When Yao Tongjia went over to touch them, the quilt and pillowcases were indeed dry, the pillow cores were also very dry, not to mention the mat.
When Yao Tongjia went to collect her things, Xiao Gengwu also came over to help her. He put the quilt on the clean kang (heated brick bed), laid out the mat, quilt, and pillow, and the feeling of home returned!
They've both lived here for over a decade, and returning here truly feels like returning to their hometown!
They brought food with them this time, of course. Yao Tongjia looked at the sky and realized it was time to cook dinner, so the two of them didn't plan to make anything complicated.
They decided to make white flour dumpling soup. Since it was just the two of them, Yao Tongjia took out a small bag of white flour from her space, along with some pork and bones, and decided to make bone and white flour dumpling soup!
She boiled water, blanched the bones, then put in a thick piece of wood to make soup. Since the kitchen was too hot, she took a book that needed translation and started translating it in the yard.
Yao Tongjia originally didn't want to take on the translation work, but Lao Pan still brought the books over: "These aren't urgent, you can keep them and translate them when you have time."
“I’ll translate the others that are in a hurry myself. Why is this kid suddenly not translating?” Old Pan had only enjoyed a year of carefree living without being rushed, how could he suddenly lose that?
Yao Tongjia grinned mischievously: "It's all because of the books you brought!"
"What book caused this trouble?" Old Pan was completely baffled. He had given Xiao Gengwu several foreign magazines at Xiao's request.
Suddenly, Lao Pan remembered that he had also given Lu Ban's crafting manual. Could this be it?
"What has this kid become obsessed with lately?"
"I've recently become obsessed with woodworking! I love it so much!"
Old Pan felt dizzy; had he really shot himself in the foot?!
Will I have to go back to my old routine, unable to sleep at night and forced to stay awake during the day? The sleep schedule I just managed to establish will be gone.
The key question is whether the few strands of hair that have just grown out will also wither and die.
Poor hair, it had just sprouted and was already forced to die, boohoo! Why were my hands so clumsy? Why did I slip that book of Lu Ban inside?
Now look what's happened! My hair is going to be in danger again? And my wife is going to be out of reach indefinitely!
Old Pan wanted to squeeze out two tears to mourn his soon-to-be-gone leisurely days, but unfortunately his acting skills were not up to par, and he couldn't manage to squeeze them out no matter what he did!
He could only shift his focus: "I'll give you the book to translate, so you can translate it in your spare time. You can't let your uncle be unable to get a wife!"
Yao Tongjia: "..." I just wanted to find a part-time job, why is it getting into a fight with whether or not someone can get married?
She could only nod: "I'll translate when I have time. You should know my speed is nowhere near yours, so you'd better be prepared!"
Old Pan sighed. Who could be as amazing as that kid? He himself couldn't even compare to him, so how could he expect a young girl to be compared to him?
Yao Tongjia was translating when there was a sudden knock on the door!
