Chapter 309 No need to worry about water problems
The speed of going downhill is much faster than the speed of going uphill.
Despite the many twists and turns, the two returned home within half an hour.
Chen Yongliang was also dragging a bamboo pole about three or four meters long.
As soon as I stepped into the yard, the three little ones came to greet me.
Pingping tugged at Wan Qiqi's clothes, "Mother, behind us, water!" His eyes gleamed with excitement.
He had never seen fresh water flowing down from the mountain since he was a child.
Wan Qiqi naturally knew what he was talking about, and nodded, saying, "Mother knows. Let go first, Mother will take a bath and change her clothes before we go, okay?"
Wang Zhi understood Wan Qiqi's needs and had already boiled water, waiting for her to come back and use it for washing up.
However, leaving the water in the backyard like this doesn't feel right, as it's spreading muddy water all around.
At this moment, Wan Qiqi instructed again: "Third brother, treat this bamboo in the same way as before, and then put it on, but you must be careful not to break the previous one."
"Fix this bamboo pole in place, and put our biggest water vat underneath."
"Okay, I guarantee I'll complete the mission." Chen Yongliang grinned and immediately got to work.
The two people inside Chen Yongxing's house heard the commotion and came out!
"Third brother, you're back?" Chen Yongxing asked, somewhat puzzled, when he saw the bamboo on the ground.
Chen Yongliang looked up and excitedly said to Chen Yongxing, "Second brother, let me tell you, sister-in-law is so clever! She brought spring water to our house! We'll never have to worry about not having enough water again!"
Chen Yongxing listened thoughtfully.
Li Chongniang was now awake and somewhat curious, "Drawing mountain spring water? Using bamboo?"
"That's right! Second sister-in-law, you can go to the backyard and see, it's all water!" Chen Yongliang's excitement never stopped, and his hands never stopped moving, as if he had no fatigue.
Chen Yongxing and Li Chongniang exchanged a glance and walked curiously towards the backyard.
Because of the mud and water splashing everywhere, Wang Zhi closed the kitchen door.
Seeing the two about to open the door, he hurriedly said, "Don't open it! It's all muddy and wet outside, don't get it on you!"
She wasn't worried about Chen Yongxing, but she was worried about Li Chongniang.
She just gave birth two days ago and can't touch cold water.
If you accidentally get wet, you might develop a host of health problems.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yongxing withdrew his hand, showing no intention of opening it again. He then said to Li Chongniang, "Wife, you rest in the kitchen for a while. I'll go out and take a look."
Li Chongniang lowered her head, said nothing, and obediently moved a stool to sit in front of the stove.
Only then did Cheng Yongxing open the back gate, his trouser legs stained with a few drops of mud.
Immediately, the sound of the spring water hitting the ground amplified.
Chen Yongxing stood at the door, looking up at the bamboo hanging on the mountainside, a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
How did my sister-in-law come up with this method?
His expression shifted from shock to disbelief.
He had considered using spring water, but he never knew how to implement it.
He even considered digging ditches to bring the water down the mountain.
However, the water produced by that method was extremely dirty, and it was said that even using it to cook rice or wash clothes would result in filth.
Moreover, the ditches dug will soon be blocked by dead branches and leaves.
Chen Yongxing looked at the bamboo tube, feeling both shocked and saddened.
Why couldn't I think of using bamboo to draw water after thinking about it for so many years?
He's so incredibly stupid!
Chen Yongxing was filled with remorse.
If I had come up with this method earlier, there wouldn't have been a water shortage problem at home.
If the village could use mountain spring water, it would alleviate the pressure on the village's water supply.
Wan Qiqi walked in, drying her hair with a towel. She saw Chen Yongxing standing at the doorway leading to the backyard and said, "Yongxing, could you help Yongliang with this in a bit? I'm afraid he can't manage it by himself."
Chen Yongxing turned around, his eyes filled with admiration, and a slight smile appeared on his lips. He said, "Good!"
Wan Qiqi was stunned for a moment, not understanding why.
They're just diverting spring water down for use, and these two brothers seem more excited than the other.
If they knew that modern water pipes and faucets made water use so much more convenient, they would probably be so excited they'd faint.
Wan Qiqi ignored Chen Yongxing and focused her attention on Li Chongniang. "Chongniang, how are you feeling now? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Li Chongniang, who was in a daze, was startled by the shout and stammered, "No...it's nothing."
She never imagined that she would hurt her own child.
So when she woke up and learned what she had done, she couldn't accept it.
After that, she handed Chen Siyu over to Wang Zhi, and each time she just stood and watched from a distance.
She was also afraid, afraid that one day she would lose control and accidentally kill her own child.
Wan Qiqi also moved a stool and sat in front of the stove, using the heat from the stove to dry her hair.
People in ancient times valued hair highly, believing that their bodies and hair were gifts from their parents and should not be easily damaged.
Because Wan Qiqi's hair was already past her waist, and when she sat down and turned her head to the side, the tips of her hair were almost touching the ground!
She smiled slightly at Li Chongniang and said, "You don't need to restrain yourself like this. Relax a little, and your illness will heal faster. Don't you want to bring Siyu to your side as soon as possible?"
How could Li Chongniang not want it? She dreamed about it!
Although this is a daughter, she is a piece of flesh that came out of her belly!
But...but she was scared!
Looking at Li Chongniang's trembling hand, Wan Qiqi reached out and placed her hand on the back of her hand, saying gently, "Believe me, everything will be alright!"
Li Chongniang looked up and met those bright yet resolute eyes, and her heart trembled slightly.
"Everything will pass..."
