Under the moonlight, the sound of gurgling water seemed particularly crisp amidst the croaking frogs in the rice fields.

An elaborate waterwheel floats above the canal.

Compared with ordinary waterwheels, it has a long sprocket, and a small wooden board is erected on each sprocket. As the canal water flows, the flap is gently pushed forward, and the waterwheel chain It automatically rotates until the wooden board is pushed to the end of the water wheel, and the clean water is sprinkled into the field along with the wooden board.

Shen Ruoyan has heard a lot about irrigating farmland these days. Even though she doesn't know how to operate it, now that she has seen this new style of waterwheel with her own eyes, she understands how important it is.

This chain-style waterwheel adopts a sprocket transmission device. As long as it is placed in the ditch, it can rotate with the water flow. It can automatically draw water without the need for human supervision. This will save so much manpower!

Moreover, the current waterwheel is only about half the height of a person. If it is enlarged several times and placed on the river bank, the river water can be directly taken out and used for crop irrigation, eliminating the trouble of digging canals.

It is simply an ingenious work with four ounces of effort.

With it, it will bring great convenience to farming!

Lu Yan also looked a little excited and asked Tang Xiuyuan, "Did you do this?"

Tang Xiuyuan had just been scolded by Shen Ruoyan. He was like a child who had made a mistake. He lowered his head and did not dare to speak. But when he heard Lu Yan's question, he nodded slightly.

He raised his eyes and glanced secretly at Shen Ruoyan.

Sensing this cautious look, the unknown fire in Shen Ruoyan's heart that was worried about something happening to him was extinguished a little, and she asked patiently: "You demolished my aunt's drain this afternoon, that's what you wanted to do, right?" ?"

Tang Xiuyuan seemed even more embarrassed when he mentioned what happened in the afternoon.

My sister was scolded by that fierce aunt all because of herself. Is she still angry with herself?

Will you ignore yourself in the future?

A child who has long been accustomed to having nothing is suddenly treated with care. After the initial happiness, he becomes extremely frightened.

He didn't know why others called him a fool, why they always liked to make fun of him, and why they beat him from time to time.

He didn't know why his sister was so kind to him, giving him delicious food and fun, and praising him for being smart.

He didn't even know how to respond to make this rare warmth last longer.

Tang Xiuyuan became more and more frightened when he thought that Shen Ruoyan would never pay attention to him again.

The great uneasiness prevented him from sleeping at all.

He simply felt that if he could build a good waterwheel, the old lady would not be angry after seeing this new waterwheel.

My sister will also forgive herself because she knows that she didn't actually want to cause harm.

So, while no one was paying attention, he walked out quietly, and relied on the memory in his mind to walk all the way to the rice fields on the outskirts of the country on his own legs.

He wants to prove himself.

He wants his sister to know that he is a good boy!

Seeing that he remained silent for a long time, Shen Ruoyan changed the question.

Pointing to the chain waterwheel in the canal, Shen Ruoyan asked: "Ayuan, how did you come up with the idea to transform the waterwheel into this long chain type?"

Tang Xiuyuan couldn't hear the emotion in Shen Ruoyan's tone, and wondered if she was still angry.

After twisting his mind for a long time, he replied in a low voice: "Earthworms."

Shen Ruoyan suddenly remembered that this afternoon Tang Xiuyuan squatted by the field ridge and stared at the mud for a long time.

Shen Ruoyan was still wondering what attracted him to a piece of mud, so she saw Tang Xiuyuan grabbing a reddish-brown worm and asked curiously: "Sister, what is this?"

Shen Ruoyan almost screamed when she saw the ugly, disgusting, and squirming earthworm on his finger.

Trying her best to restrain her inner resistance, Shen Ruoyan explained clearly to Tang Xiuyuan what this kind of insect was and what it did.

"Put it down quickly. If you like it, just take a look." Seeing Tang Xiuyuan staring at the earthworm with bright eyes for a moment, looking extremely interested, Shen Ruoyan warned, "Ayuan, this thing can't be Eat. If you eat earthworms, you will become a little mute and you will never be able to speak again. Remember?"

Tang Xiuyuan nodded, pointed at the earthworm and said happily: "Sister, when he got up, his body arched and arched, so interesting!"

Could it be that he came up with such an exquisite design by observing the way earthworms crawl?

Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but sigh: "Ayuan, you are really a genius!"

Tang Xiuyuan stood in the rice field and happened to be at Shen Ruoyan's waist. When he heard his sister suddenly praise him, he excitedly hugged Shen Ruoyan's waist and buried his face in her clothes.

Lu Yan's brows twitched, and he was about to come over and pull the man away when Shen Ruoyan stopped him with his eyes.

She patted Tang Xiuyuan's head with her hand, and asked with a bit of fondness and a bit of helplessness: "What's wrong with Ayuan?"

Tang Xiuyuan said nothing, and Shen Ruoyan felt as if there was some liquid around her waist that soaked her clothes.

Damn it, he must be drooling...

Shen Ruoyan, who had a bit of a mysophobia, leaned back and distanced herself from Tang Xiuyuan. When she lowered her head, she realized that Tang Xiuyuan was crying.

His eyes were red, and when he saw Shen Ruoyan looking at him, he turned his head in embarrassment and turned his face away.

"Ayuan, why are you crying?"

Shen Ruoyan panicked and hurriedly reached out to scratch his face, wanting to see what happened to Tang Xiuyuan.

But Tang Xiuyuan was very strong, and Shen Ruoyan couldn't defeat him after all.

Lu Yan, who had been waiting for a long time, finally had the chance to take action. He walked over and pulled the person away from Shen Ruoyan.

Under Shen Ruoyan's questioning, Tang Xiuyuan spoke slowly: "I thought my sister would never pay attention to me in the future. I'm so scared, wuwuwu..."

His voice was a little unclear and full of grievance.

Shen Ruoyan seemed to have a kitten living in her heart.

The little cat stretched out its paws and scratched her chest, making Shen Ruoyan feel angry and warm.

"When did I say I would ignore you from now on?" Shen Ruoyan asked helplessly.

Tang Xiuyuan curled his lips and complained: "But my sister didn't say goodbye to me, and even drove away by herself. A Yuan thought that my sister didn't want A Yuan anymore."

It turned out that Shen Ruoyan got on the carriage first this afternoon, and just as Tang Xiuyuan was about to follow, a man in black stopped him and asked him to tell Tang Manman that Mr. Lu gave his carriage to the brothers and sisters and asked him to escort them. go home.

Looking at the carriage driving away from him, Tang Xiuyuan's heart sank. He felt that Shen Ruoyan must be angry with him, so she threw him to Tang Manman.
