Chapter 321 The whole village has water
Shen Shi (3-5 PM).
Wu Gousheng's journey of delivering fish fry has finally come to an end.
Aunt Youyi sat on the mule cart, her feet dangling in the air, swinging back and forth. "I told you, I wouldn't forget. Do you believe me now?"
Wu Gousheng nodded, "Yes, Aunt Youyi, you're right, you're the smartest!"
He seemed somewhat perfunctory as he jumped off the mule cart.
After delivering the last batch of fish fry to the family, seeing Aunt Youyi still sitting on the mule cart, he couldn't help but ask, "Aunt Youyi, aren't you going back? Do you want me to take you?"
"You can give me a ride if you want, but I'm too lazy to walk!" Aunt Youyi patted the spot where Wu Gousheng had been sitting, gesturing for him to come up.
Wu Gousheng couldn't understand how someone so lazy could be disliked by others.
But think about it, Wan Qiqi can be lazy sometimes, but she's good at everything and very smart.
Finally, Wu Gousheng made peace with himself, got into the mule cart, and prepared to send Aunt Youyi back.
As soon as I got on the bus, I saw a group of people gathered in a courtyard not far away.
This also includes Chen Lizheng, Chen Yongxing, and Chen Yongliang!
"Alright, this last one is finally done!" Chen Lizheng sighed deeply, his face beaming with barely suppressed joy.
Chen Yongxing and Chen Yongliang exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief.
In the past two days, they have been communicating with Chen Lizheng about the water diversion project, soliciting everyone's opinions, and finally decided to mobilize the entire village to work together to divert water.
At the same time, they consulted Yang Mu to improve the bamboo and support structure for drawing water, making the bamboo tubes more sturdy and less prone to loosening.
Of course, it would be difficult to get every household to bring water into their yard, so they opted for a solution where several neighboring households agreed to share a single water source.
This solved the water problem and also reduced the burden on the villagers.
Because some areas cannot be connected to the water supply, the village decided to build a nearby water storage pond so that villagers without access to water could fetch water from nearby.
The idea of storing water in the pool was proposed by Chen Yongxing.
Initially, everyone thought of digging a pond.
However, considering that the areas without drinking water points are all areas with soil problems, the water stored in the water tanks might not be usable either.
Therefore, everyone thought of building a large pool on the original land so that it could provide water for the nearby villagers.
Suddenly, a villager walked up to Chen Li and knelt down in front of him.
With tears streaming down his face, he said, "Chen Lizheng, you are a great benefactor to our village! If you hadn't come up with this method, we might not have had any water at all!"
Chen Lizheng was startled by the kneeling and immediately knelt down to help the other man up, saying, "Uncle Chen, this is unacceptable!"
No matter how you look at it, Uncle Chen is the oldest among the elders in Lianhua Village. Kneeling down to him is practically shortening his lifespan!
With Chen Lizheng's help, Uncle Chen slowly stood up and said, "Lizheng Chen, it's fortunate that you're here in the village; otherwise, our lives would be a little easier."
Chen Lizheng felt a little guilty after what his old uncle Chen said, and he said weakly, "Old uncle, this is not my achievement, it was the idea of the two brothers of the Chen family."
He knew in his heart that this was definitely Wan Qiqi's idea, and that Chen Yongxing and Chen Yongliang were to carry it out.
However, it must be said that they both did a very good job.
"This is all..."
Before Chen Yongliang could finish speaking, Chen Yongxing interrupted him: "These are all things that are good for the village, not things that deserve credit. If the village well dries up, we will all have a hard time."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Chen smiled with satisfaction. "First, Yongnian distinguished himself in suppressing bandits and got a job in the county government; now Yongxing is so good at making choices and knows how to think of the village. The Chen family has truly made something of themselves!"
The villagers surrounded Chen Yongxing and Chen Yongliang, praising them highly and giving the Chen family a very high evaluation.
Chen Lizheng stood aside watching, and couldn't help but sigh, feeling ashamed of his own inferiority.
Chen Sanyuan stood quietly beside his father and said, "The Chen family has really changed!"
"Yes! Ever since Qiqi changed, the entire Chen family has changed and become more successful!" Chen Lizheng was both gratified and disappointed.
He would be at ease if his son could be as successful as the three Chen brothers!
If all else fails, learn from Wu Gousheng. After following Wan Qiqi, he not only stopped causing trouble in the village but also did a lot for its development.
He even made contributions in suppressing bandits!
It's a pity...it's a pity that this son is not quick-witted and doesn't have Wu Gousheng's cleverness.
After a long while, the villagers who had brought the water dispersed, and Chen Yongxing and Chen Yongliang also prepared to go home.
Chen Yongliang couldn't help but ask, "Second Brother, why didn't you let me say it was Sister-in-law's idea?"
Chen Yongxing paused, then said, "Haven't you noticed that your sister-in-law has been giving orders to others lately?"
"But what does this have to do with this matter?" Chen Yongliang didn't quite understand.
Chen Yongxing sighed and said, "Although my sister-in-law is capable, she is still a woman. If she is involved in everything, it will cause gossip and attract attention, which may bring trouble upon her."
Chen Yongliang roughly understood the meaning behind the words, but he didn't quite understand them.
The two had just left the courtyard when they encountered Wu Gousheng on the road.
"Brother Yongxing, Brother Yongliang, shall I take you home?"
At this moment, Wu Gousheng was the only one left on his mule cart. He had already sent Aunt Youyi away, and even the wooden basin that was on the mule cart had been returned to the Chen family.
He came here specifically to pick up the two Chen brothers.
After the two got into the car, they asked Wu Gousheng a few questions and learned that Wan Qiqi had not returned and was still busy at the restaurant.
What shocked them the most was that Wan Qiqi had bought a house in town!
Although it was an old house, it could be renovated because it had a land deed stamped by the government.
Moreover, having a house in town is so convenient.
In the past, they wouldn't have dared to even think about it.
