Zhaojia Village has changed a lot now. One third of the roads in the village have been hardened, and the rest is just a matter of time.

When Zhang Yaoyang's car stopped in his own hardened yard, Qian Yu blinked in disbelief.

He hadn't been to Zhaojia Village for more than ten days and didn't expect such a big change.

The last time I left, the village was still made of dirt roads. When the wind blew, dust would fall off our bodies, and whenever it rained, our legs would be covered in yellow mud.

These were all done by Zhang Yaoyang, who asked his brother Zhang Yongqiang to take the lead after he drove a car.

Now, their family is considered a wealthy family in the village, and many people want to follow him into the mountains to make a fortune, especially Zhao Dazhui, who has been waiting impatiently and is the most positive in responding to the Zhang family's call.

When they heard that the Zhang family was going to build a road and that the wages were two yuan per person per day, and that meals were not included, the idle men in the village naturally followed Zhao Dazhui and started working enthusiastically.

The hardened road surface will greatly facilitate their travel. This kind of good thing only happens once in a century, so they naturally cannot be lazy.

As for the water, we went to the river and fetched it with great effort.

The water was almost turning into a stinking ditch and was no longer drinkable, but it could still be used to repair houses and roads. It was just more troublesome. After spending some money and buying pipes, it became much more convenient.

Right now, everyone is worried about drinking water, and there is almost no energy to repair this road.

The public well in the village has dried up, and not a drop of water is flowing out of the mountain spring water that Zhang Yaoyang collected with a bamboo pipe.

At this time, Qian Yu was so hot that he didn't even have water to wash his face.

Even the water we drank was told to be conserve.

Fortunately, there was an electric fan, so Qian Yu didn't feel too uncomfortable.

Just as he was patiently reviewing with Zhang Yaoyang, he saw Zhang's second aunt coming with her daughter.

After their family arrived in Zhaojia Village, they were arranged to live in Chen Ergou's home.

At this time, he came to seek help because of the water problem at home.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the pot of herbal tea prepared for Qian Yu, and naturally he picked up the cup and started drinking.

Qian Yu watched helplessly as the two of them drank up the water that belonged to him in a few gulps. He was naturally a little annoyed, but he couldn't blame them for anything, so he could only look at Zhang Yaoyang.

"Don't look at me. It's gone. I told you long ago that this place is not as good as the town. The conditions are not good. You insisted on coming here."

He's running around in this kind of weather, he'd be dead from the heat.

Qian Yu felt humiliated and naturally disliked his second aunt and her daughter. Wang Yuzhen rarely saw a man as clean as Qian Yu, who was well dressed and obviously from a wealthy family, so she shamelessly sat down in front of him.

"Um... hello, I'm Brother Yaoyang's cousin, my name is..."

"Why are you yelling? You're not a bird. You're annoying. Can't you see I'm studying? Get out of the way."

Qian Yu was still a rather rebellious young man, and he showed no mercy to the girls who approached him.

The main reason is that there is no water to drink.

Wang Yuzhen was disappointed and could only stand up helplessly.

It was at this time that Zhang Anxin came over with a notebook.

"Brother, I don't know how to do this question, you..."

Then he saw Wang Yuzhen standing beside him, so he greeted her calmly: "Cousin Yuzhen, are you here to play? The final exams are coming up soon, don't you need to study?"

"Uh... Cousin An Xin, I have studied hard. My mother said that I will be able to get into Taiping Township Middle School this year. By then, it will be better than your Yuhong Middle School."

Wang Yuzhen's words immediately made Qian Yu laugh.

"Your mom said you were going to take the high school entrance exam, but it's useless. My dad even said I could get into Kyoto University. What? Can I really get in?"

"Oh... all right, I won't delay your entrance exam to the township middle school. Hurry up, the college entrance exam is almost here, and we can't afford to waste time."

He spoke to Wang Yuzhen in a harsh tone, but when he turned around and looked at Zhang Anxin, his expression was completely different.

"An Xin, if you have any questions, bring them to us and let's discuss them together. I also want to keep pace with you and make progress together!"

These words were so gentle that Zhang Yaoyang almost felt embarrassed. He quickly found a piece of draft paper and started to calculate.

The two of them then lay on the table in tacit understanding and watched Zhang Yaoyang solve the problem.

After all, they had gotten along several times and eaten at the same table, so Zhang Anxin no longer rejected Qian Yu.

Apart from his bad mouth and his inability to understand common things, in other aspects, this person is quite kind.

Wang Yuzhen was left out and felt wronged and unwilling.

His face was bright red, I don't know if it was because of anger or the hot weather.

She looked at her own mother, who was still arguing with Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang about the water issue. She just asked the two of them to help get water, while she just talked and enjoyed herself. How could she go to the neighboring village with the other villagers to carry water?

It was like this every time. As long as there was a little water in the Zhang family's water tank, she would quickly take away half of it and pick up what was available.

Her husband was not in a position to intervene in such matters, so every time she would bring Wang Yuzhen to ask for water.

Zhang Yongshou was not at home these two days, and only a younger generation, Zhang Yongqiang, was at home. Liu Huifang was of a gentle personality, so she simply picked up all the water, leaving not even a drop.

Zhang Yongqiang was very annoyed about this, but he couldn't get angry, so he just endured it and waited for his father Zhang Yongshou to come back and have a good talk.

Unexpectedly, when Zhang Yongshou came back today, Second Aunt started complaining about the difficulty of getting water, saying that their family of three had not washed their faces for several days and they could hardly make ends meet.

Liu Huifang felt very uncomfortable and could only put on a stern face and scold Zhang Yongshou.

"Don't you see my little sister is having a hard time? Hurry up and help her. Stop standing here."

What she meant was, take this debt collector away quickly, she didn't want to see this annoying person again for a moment.

Zhang Yongshou has always been tolerant of this younger sister, but seeing his wife's forbearance and the anger that is about to burst out of Zhang Yongqiang's eyes, he can only act as a peacemaker.

"Little sister, you go back first. I'll take the kids to find water now. When we find it, I'll take you home as soon as possible."

"Well, eldest brother is the most caring. It's settled then."

The second aunt was secretly delighted. With Zhang Yongshou delivering water to their home, their family of three no longer had to worry about water. They even saved the trouble of fetching water from Zhang's house. What else was there to ask for?

"Yuzhen, what are you still standing there for? Come over here and say hello to uncle and aunt. We are going back now!"

Wang Yuzhen looked at Zhang Yaoyang and the other two, feeling a little unhappy that she couldn't get a word in, so she turned around and walked away angrily, ignoring her mother and even skipping the farewell etiquette. She was too lazy to pretend.

When the second aunt saw this, she naturally chased after her, scolding her for being ignorant and so on. Her voice was so loud that anyone with ears could hear it, whether passing by or not.

"Hmph, go find some water to feed these three blood-sucking worms. I can't afford to serve them."

"Dad, you... because of this incident, we have to spend more money on gas to haul water. Isn't that unfair?"

One day is okay, and I can tolerate it every two or three days, but it has been almost ten days. My second aunt's family is getting more and more outrageous, and both mother and son are almost hurt.

With the addition of water to my second aunt's family of three, it is impossible to draw water with manpower alone, so Zhang Yongqiang has been driving a tractor to the neighboring village to fetch water recently. It takes at least two or three hours to go back and forth, and it is exhausting every time.

Zhang Yongqiang really can't do it anymore and doesn't want to do it anymore.

Zhang Yongshou had just returned from a long journey and his body had not yet recovered, so he could not move.

Zhang Yaoyang was busy reviewing with Qian Yu and couldn't leave.

So as planned, there was no water fetching, but by noon, there was no movement.

This will naturally cause trouble.
