Yao Tongjia opened the door, but before she could even see anyone, a long stick came flying at her. Luckily, Yao Tongjia dodged quickly, or she would have been seriously injured.
The village chief had clearly seen the dangerous situation just now, and immediately stopped everyone: "Stop, everyone, don't panic, be careful!"
After giving instructions here, he called to Yao Tongjia, "Daughter, daughter, you go in first, and come out after you've moved all the things!"
Yao Tongjia had no choice but to agree and go inside. As soon as she entered the main room, she saw a painting.
Xiao Gengwu was sitting in the main room, engrossed in reading the Lu Ban Manual. He was almost in his own world, completely undisturbed by the noise outside.
This level of expertise and composure is unmatched by ordinary people; he truly is an extraordinary individual!
As Yao Tongjia was thinking, Xiao Niuren Gengwu looked up and asked, "Why aren't you coming in? What are you doing standing there?"
Yao Tongjia went inside: "I was afraid of disturbing you, so I thought I'd stand here for a bit and wait until they leave before going out to translate."
“I heard your footsteps a while ago, but I wanted to finish looking at this before I talked to you. Who knew you wouldn’t come in for so long?”
"Can you still hear my footsteps? I'm already walking very quietly, very quietly!"
"I can hear you no matter how quietly you walk; my hearing is excellent!"
"You heard the noises outside a long time ago?"
"I heard you, but I was reading and didn't pay attention!"
"So you just listen to what other people say to you?"
"I can hear it, but sometimes I'm thinking and can't be interrupted!"
Yao Tongjia: "........" No wonder your master and teacher are teasing you. You really deserve to be taught a lesson for talking like that!
After everyone left and they finished dinner, Xiao Gengwu started fiddling with the wood again. Yao Tongjia wanted to stop him, since it was already late at night.
When he gets into a task, he completely loses track of time; I'm afraid he might work through the night.
But the words that were about to be spoken were swallowed back. Oh well, I'll talk about it later. Let him keep fiddling with it! I can always call him to sleep later.
So in the courtyard, with a kerosene lamp lit, in the dim light, one person was translating and the other was fiddling with wood, neither of them looking at the other.
The courtyard exuded a warm feeling that brought peace to both of them. They didn't understand this feeling now, but those who have lived through the long river of time do: home is where I feel at ease!
The next day, Xiao Gengwu got up early to continue fiddling with his wood. When Yao Tongjia woke up naturally, she found that Xiao Gengwu had put rice in the pot to cook.
"Brother Xiao, when did you learn to cook?"
"I haven't studied it; I just watched you do it and copied you!"
Yao Tongjia: "..." Every time, she forgets this guy's abilities and asks questions that only humiliate him. She opened the lid and smelled it; it looked pretty good.
She took two bowls, filled them with porridge, and went outside to cool them down. Since it was just the two of them, Yao Tongjia didn't intend to save money. She took ten eggs, beat them, and took out a large bucket of peanut oil from her spatial storage.
I poured in a lot of oil, and when the oil started to smoke, I stirred the salted eggs clockwise several times before putting them into the oil.
The sizzling sound and the aroma wafted out, and Yao Tongjia's stomach rumbled uncontrollably. Ugh! It's just a few eggs, why am I getting so hungry?!
I used to be someone who wouldn't even look at a lobster, but after missing a few meals, my anorexia was cured!
Fortunately, the villagers outside didn't see her wasting money, or she would have been cursed to death! The amount of oil she used to fry an egg was equivalent to a person's monthly oil consumption.
The two of them drank plain rice porridge and ate fragrant eggs, thoroughly enjoying their meal!
After finishing his meal, Xiao Gengwu got back to work. He had visited other places yesterday and recorded the data. He still needed to make two sets, which took him all day.
If Yao Tongjia hadn't called him to dinner, he probably wouldn't have eaten or drunk anything and would have just kept fiddling with his wood.
Unbeknownst to Yao Tongjia and Xiao Gengwu, the three powerful figures took turns loitering around their courtyard, hoping to bump into them and inquire about the situation.
Unfortunately, once they entered the courtyard, they never came out again, and they could only go home with regret!
On the third day, the village chief couldn't stand it anymore and knocked on the door: "You two are incubating eggs in the yard? Why didn't you even open the door?"
After saying this, the village chief slapped his head in regret. He had been rash; how could he have said such a thing in front of the two children!
He was about to continue speaking when he suddenly saw the things all over the yard, and his expression immediately turned to surprise and delight: "Are they all done? Did you make two sets?"
"He made two sets. He worked day and night, without eating or sleeping. If I hadn't come with him, he would have starved or died from exhaustion! How could he have had time to go out?"
These words made the village chief blush, though his rough skin made it impossible to tell he was red.
"Is everything done? Can we go and set it up now?"
After Xiao Gengwu finished polishing the last item, he said, "It's ready to install. Call someone to come and move it away. Install the base frame first, and then I'll be there."
The village chief, rarely hearing the boy speak so much, immediately stood up happily: "Good, good, Xiao boy, thank you, Uncle!"
This watering machine is so useful; it frees up most of their people to go up the mountain to plant medicinal herbs, and it also allows people to go up the mountain to gather things to eat.
It's so great that it won't tie everyone in the village to the fields!
The village chief suddenly felt a surge of warmth, and his eyes involuntarily welled up with tears. They had taken in these people because Xiao Yan's grandfather had been kind to their village.
They never expected that the young man from the Xiao family would bring them such a big surprise; it was truly a huge surprise!
As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, and the two sets of equipment were quickly installed without Xiao Gengwu having to lift a finger, and the water was quickly poured out.
Many people came to see what was happening after hearing the news. Everyone witnessed this amazing scene and cheered, as if it were Chinese New Year.
It's so great that they won't have to spend so much time and energy fetching water anymore!
The happiest among these people were the educated youth. The male educated youth were assigned to fetch water, and the female educated youth were assigned to water plants. Now, they are no longer needed to fetch or water plants.
Can they finally rest?!
Those who allow them to rest naturally attract attention, as seen in Xiao Gengwu's focused instruction on installing equipment.
Several female educated youths stared at Xiao Gengwu in a daze. Xiao Gengwu was already very handsome, and it is said that people who work hard are even more handsome. So Xiao Gengwu, who was pointing out the country, was even more handsome!
Moreover, those who relieved them of heavy labor, with this filter on, even Pigsy would be a handsome man.
Xiao Gengwu was now a radiant figure; not only the educated youth, but even the village girls present were captivated by him.
They couldn't understand why they hadn't discovered this hidden gem of a boy before. If they had found him earlier, they should have kept him!
