If he was promoted to deputy director of the Transportation Department, he would have priority in choosing a house. This privilege attracted Xue Ming.

Now he has both long-term and short-term worries. The long-term worry is the social storm in a few years, and the near-term worry is the housing problem.

The courtyard of the Mijia Siheyuan is shared, the kitchen is shared, and the toilets are also shared.

Almost everything except the bedrooms is shared by everyone, making life very inconvenient. What's even more inconvenient is that you can't buy a house if you have money.

"Why are you still standing there, let's go." Zhao Erlian pushed the bicycle and left. The leader of the security department did not dare to be serious with him.

When Xue Ming came to the factory gate, he saw Li Chuanying from a distance. She was walking towards the workshop carrying a bag of things. When their eyes met, Li Chuanying quickened her pace.

"Brother-in-law, what are you looking at? Although Li Chuanying is a beautiful woman, don't forget that you have a wife." Zhao Erlian chuckled.

"It would be cuter if you talked less nonsense." Xue Ming felt that this kid still deserved a beating.

"Don't think I talk too much when we get to Uncle Cao's house later." Zhao Er whistled and got on his bicycle.

The two brothers first went to the department store to buy two bottles of liquor. There are no plastic bags these days, and the salespersons use ropes to pack items.

The two brothers came to the Transportation Bureau and met Cao Baoshan in the director's office. Zhao Erlian smiled and said hello, "Hello, Uncle Cao. Xue Ming and I are here to chat with you."

"Haha, it's okay to chat, but don't carry corrupt items into my office." Cao Baoshan looked at Xue Ming with a half-smile, and probably guessed Xue Ming's purpose.

"You have misunderstood. These two bottles of wine are for dinner at your house. My brother-in-law has something good for you to see." Zhao Erlian winked at Xue Ming.

"To spare Uncle Cao a few minutes, I invented a new type of pressurized water well for Uncle Cao to comment on." Xue Ming took out the design drawing from his pocket and explained it to him.

The history of pressurized water wells can be traced back to the Song Dynasty or even longer, but modern pressurized water wells do not seem to have appeared yet. Xue Ming has never seen them in the provincial capital.

Cao Baoshan pretended to listen carefully. Now he has determined that Xue Ming's intention is to make progress and become the deputy director of the Transportation Department.

The deputy director is a fat man. The current director, Zuo Changzheng, nominated Comrade Xue Ming, a fourth-level transport officer, to serve. The nomination report is in his drawer.

However, the superior leader wanted to parachute a deputy director, and the letter of introduction was also placed in the drawer.

Cao Baoshan was struggling with who to recommend to the organization, but his letter of recommendation still held great weight.

Xue Ming's explanation continued, and Cao Baoshan became cautious as he listened.

Although I had only a partial understanding of it, I felt that it was feasible. After listening to it, I thought about it for a long time and asked, "Are you sure about it?"

"I'm only 80% sure, so I want to go to your house to dig a well first. Grandpa said you have research on machinery." Xue Ming flattered.

"Let's go, let's go to my house to study together." Cao Baoshan also has a vigorous and resolute temper, and at the same time he also understands what it means if the well drilling is successful.

Nowadays, no matter in cities or rural areas, people have to fetch water from motorized wells. The water in motorized wells is very dirty. If well killing is popularized, it can greatly improve the quality of life of the people.

The three of them rode bicycles to the Family Courtyard of the Transportation Bureau. When they came to the door of Cao's house, Xue Ming said, "I remember the door of Uncle Cao's house. Second brother, you chat with Uncle Cao first, and I'll go home and get the guy who dug the well."

"Xue Ming, don't delay lunch. I'll ask your aunt to cook two dishes later, and let's have a few drinks at noon." Cao Baoshan said.

Xue Ming rode his bike home, found a deserted place near the family's courtyard, entered the space, loaded all the well-drilling tools on the truck, and spent an hour before going to Cao's house.

Cao Baoshan and his wife raised four boys and two girls, some of whom went to work and some to school. Only his wife, Feng Juanjiao, was left at home to take care of their youngest son and daughter.

Two four- and five-year-old children were attracted by the iron well on the trolley. The younger daughter Cao Ailing asked, "Brother Xue, what is this?"

"This is a pressurized water well. From tomorrow on, your mother won't have to go to the pumped well room to fetch water." Xue Ming thought this little girl with two missing front teeth was cute.

"That's great, that's great. Every time my mother carries water, she gets so tired that her back hurts. She always asks me to rub her back." Cao Ailing actually jumped up and applauded.

Everyone laughed, Feng Juanjiao held her daughter in her arms, Xue Ming stopped talking nonsense and immediately arranged for Cao Baoshan and Zhao Erlian to work.

The three of them discussed and decided to drill the well near the kitchen on the east side. Cao Baoshan carried water from the water tank to irrigate the ground, and Xue Ming connected the Luoyang shovel with a long-handled steel bar to dig the hole with Zhao Erlian.

The Luoyang shovel is a tomb robbing artifact. Xue Ming held the shovel and asked Zhao Erlian to hit it with a hammer. Then he pulled out the Luoyang shovel and cleaned the soil in the shovel. It looked like a mouse digging a hole.

The little girl Cao Ailing was hiding nearby and watching the fun. The five-year-old boy Cao Wanlong seemed to be interested in the large roll of well pipe and kept touching the water pipe with his hands.

It was a special hard plastic, it seemed to be PVC or PE plastic. Xue Ming didn't know if this kind of water pipe was imported in China.

The three uncles and nephews dug holes together. The holes got deeper and deeper, and more and more soil was shoveled out. Cao Ailing became interested in mud again and started playing with mud.

The extension arm of the Luoyang shovel became longer and longer. When it reached 20 meters, Cao Baoshan was a little confused, "Is this possible? There is still no water after 20 meters?"

"Yes, brother-in-law, did we choose the wrong place?" Zhao Erlian also felt that it was unreliable. The Zhao family's motor-driven well started to produce water after digging fifteen meters.

"It's not a big problem. Didn't you notice that the shoveled soil is getting wetter and wetter? Let's try digging another ten meters." Xue Ming was full of confidence.

Cao Baoshan and Zhao Erlian could only continue. At this time, a mother and son appeared at the door. The girl was about forty years old.

Cao Baoshan smiled and greeted, "Sister-in-law Niu, are you free today?"

"I have nothing to do every day, what are you doing?" Niu Wanzhen looked at the soil on the ground with interest.

"Xue Ming is here to dig a well for me. Is Comrade Xiaoniu okay at home? Ask him to come over and help me." Cao Baoshan said.

"No problem, I'll call him." Niu Wanzhen let her younger son play with his friends at Cao's house, then turned back and went home to call her eldest son.

After she left, Cao Baoshan introduced to Xue Ming, "Her lover is the deputy director of Niu Quanquan Niu of our Transportation Bureau."

Xue Ming smiled and nodded. This is the family home of the Transportation Bureau. It is not surprising to meet the director and deputy director.

After a while, three teenagers came over and came to help without saying a word.

After another ten minutes, more people were watching the excitement, including lesbians and children who stayed at home.

Zhao Er hammered it down and knelt down. The extension pole of the Luoyang shovel was almost smashed into the ground by him, causing the crowd to scream in surprise.

Xue Ming shouted excitedly, "Uncle Cao, we have reached the underground water layer. Comrades, come over and put the pipe with me. We will succeed soon."

"Okay!" A group of passionate young people shouted in unison, and followed Xue Ming in a swarm to carry the huge plastic water pipe.
