When he got on the bullock cart in the village, this sound still echoed in his ears occasionally, and now Fang Tianlin could conclude that the puppy was in the basket on his back.He stared sideways at Shen Jiahe for a long while, until he stared at Shen Jiahe a little at a loss, and a blush appeared on his face, then he turned his gaze away.

Shen Jiahe didn't understand why his daughter-in-law suddenly looked at him like this, he didn't think too much about it, and when he saw his daughter-in-law returned to normal, he was immediately immersed in a good mood again, the corners of his mouth couldn't be stretched, all the way up, he almost didn't hum A tune expresses his joy.

As soon as he got home, Shen Jiahe gave Mrs. Zhang the things that Xue Guanglin gave him, and happily picked up the basket at hand, and urged Fang Tianlin to go back to his room.

After closing the door, Shen Jiahe was about to open the lid of the carrying basket, picked up two puppies from inside, and held them up to Fang Tianlin like offering treasures: "Daughter-in-law, I bought this, look how strong they are."

Fang Tianlin knew about this a long time ago, but he kept it all the way and didn't say it. Seeing Shen Jiahe so happy now, it's not in vain for him to hold back all the way.He squinted his eyes, took it from Shen Jiahe's hand, and carefully looked at the puppy with two pairs of black eyes.

According to preliminary estimates, these two should be hunting dogs. There are military dogs in the army, but Fang Tianlin has only had contact with a few of them. He has only seen images of these hunting dogs: "Is this a hunting dog?"

"Well. Daughter-in-law, when they grow up, they can follow you into the mountains, and they can go to the woods to help keep watch at night." Speaking of this, Shen Jiahe's eyes lit up.He rubbed his hands in embarrassment. His daughter-in-law is so capable, and he can't do much. Just thinking of this, he went to the cattle and horse market. When he saw someone selling a litter of hounds, he picked two He looked at the good ones and bought them, which would help his wife to some extent.

Fang Tianlin also had a smile in his eyes, feeling the warmth in his chest, suppressing the summer heat.

"Daughter-in-law, and this." Shen Jiahe turned around and removed the kennel on the back basket, and took out a hair tie and a square scarf from underneath.

Fang Tianlin put the puppy into the kennel, and held it directly in his hand regardless of the small animal that had just touched his hand.This is obviously a set, all of which are light blue. You only need to use a hair band on weekdays, and change it into a square scarf when you go to the ground.He rubbed the fabric with his fingers, felt it carefully and found that it was fine cotton, and the workmanship was relatively delicate. Although it was only about a foot in size, it cost a lot of money.

"Daughter-in-law, how about I try it on for you?" Shen Jiahe's eyes looked expectant.

"it is good!"

After wiping his hands clean, Shen Jiahe took the comb, brushed Fang Tianlin's hair loose, and began to recomb bit by bit.Look at his meticulous appearance, which is comparable to dressing up for a bride.After a while, Shen Jiahe stopped. He moved the small bronze mirror on the dressing table to Fang Tianlin, grinning and said, "Daughter-in-law, you look so good!"

The bronze mirror didn't look very clear at first, but now it was dusk, the light was not so bright, and it was even more blurry.But Fang Tianlin felt that he was more radiant than ever at this time, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of halo, and he felt an ironing that he had never felt before, and he dragged him across the Shenjia River.

Unprepared, Shen Jiahe fell directly into Fang Tianlin's arms, and happened to be pressing on that thing, and his face turned red like a freshly cooked shrimp.

Fang Tianlin's feeling was even more obvious. At that moment, a heat surged up in his lower abdomen, and desire rose and rolled in his eyes.He pressed down to stay awake, and when he exerted strength with his hands, Shen Jiahe was adjusted to a sitting position, sitting directly on his lap.While Shen Jiahe was in a daze, Fang Tianlin leaned forward and kissed him directly, his lips and teeth intersected without distinction.For a moment, the room was full of beauty.

Unknowingly, time passed quietly between the two of them.

"Third brother, third sister-in-law, dinner is ready."

Liu Cheng's voice sounded outside the door, and the two were startled, recovering from the pink atmosphere just now.

Shen Jiahe adjusted the slightly messy clothes on his body, calmed down before he said: "Understood, I'll be here right away."

Fang Tianlin touched his face, felt the heat on his face, then looked at Shen Jiahe, who was avoiding the side, trying to cool down with a wet cloth, he lowered his eyes slightly, to get rid of the remaining spring in his eyes, the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked upwards, and curled up A nice arc.

This scene happened to be caught by Shen Jiahe, who glanced here from the corner of his eyes. He quickly turned his body sideways, and after he couldn't see it at all, he took a few deep breaths, and then pushed his beating heart back to its original position.

When both of them packed themselves up, everyone in the hall had been waiting for them for a while.We get along every day, and you can tell who has what clothes and jewelry at a glance.As soon as Fang Tianlin entered the main room, everyone looked at him in unison, making him pause for a moment, and then sat down in his seat as if nothing had happened.

The dinner was still as lively as before, but many people had a question in their minds, did Fang Tianlin buy the square scarf on his head himself or Shen Jiahe?Don't look at such a small difference, the meaning is far worse.

As the male daughter-in-law, Liu Cheng is more familiar with Fang Tianlin. After the meal, he directly asked Fang Tianlin about it.Fang Tianlin didn't hide anything, and said it was Shen Jiahe's wish.

Hearing this, Liu Cheng immediately covered her mouth and let out a chuckle, and before returning to the room, she vowed that he would also ask Shen Jiaxi to buy it for him.

Fang Tianlin just smiled and said nothing, and asked the other party to buy it on his own initiative. There is a big difference here.However, he didn't make it clear, who wouldn't know this?

This night, both Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe were a little distracted. If the construction of the grove hadn't started tomorrow, the two of them would have just rolled together.

The woods may not look big, but in fact the area is not small. The amount marked on the house deed is three acres and five cents, but it is actually a little bigger.Just buying this forest, Fang Tianlin spent seven taels of silver, plus the money for the house, it is estimated that Fang Tianlin would spend more than half of his family fortune.

Fang Tianlin originally wanted to pay the wages, but except for the specially hired master mason, the other people who came to help didn't ask for money.Only after asking Shen Jiahe did he know that this is a custom in Guangyan Village.Of course, these people won't do it for nothing, they come to help, and the Shen family will return the favor in the future. When the time comes, whichever family wants to build a house, Shen Jiahe and the others will have to help.

The Shen family was about to break ground. As the closest relatives, the uncle's family and the third uncle's family all sent their cousins ​​over, plus the four Shen Jiahe brothers and Wu Dongping who came early, among the twenty or so people, the Shen family alone was the only one. Accounted for nearly half, which once again reflects the benefits of a large family.

Since there is no need to pay wages for helping out, the Shen family has to pay attention to meals.They do such heavy physical work, if they can't even part with a piece of meat and vegetables, the reputation of the Shen family will be ruined, and if they find someone to do it next time, few people will come.

Fang Tianlin also wanted to participate in building the house, but was stopped by Shen Jiahe and Father Shen.Now that there are enough people, there is no need for him to get involved.Fang Tianlin walked around the construction site, and seeing that it was indeed the case, he didn't mention it again.After that, he handed over the triplets to his mother-in-law to take care of them, and went into the mountains.

As the past few months passed, the number of wild beasts near Shaochong Mountain increased, but they did not return to the previous level.

Fang Tianlin was lucky today, he hunted three hares and two pheasants.Mrs. Zhang asked several daughters-in-law to clean them up immediately. Now that the family hired someone to do the work, the wild game would not be sold, and the extra ones would be marinated a little, and they would be used tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

After taking a shower, Fang Tianlin came to the edge of the construction site.Although the trees in the woods are sparse, it is troublesome to clean them up.Villagers have to level the ground before they can build houses.

Fang Tianlin didn't want to cut down the trees, which increased the time for preparatory work.When he arrives, everyone will be able to sort out hundreds of square meters. It seems that it will take at least one day to really break ground.

Fang Tianlin had planned it before. The woods are very large, and he can’t use so much space to raise chickens at once, so he decided to divide the woods into three parts, one mu for growing crops, two mu for raising livestock, and the rest Half an acre is reserved for building a house.No matter what, this is a homestead, no accident, it will be where he lives with his wife and children in the future, of course the homestead must be set aside.

The chicken coop doesn't need to be so particular, but the room for people to live in has to be built according to a normal house.Fang Tianlin deliberately asked Shen Jiahe and the others to dig the foundation a little deeper, planning to do it all at once and use stone fragments as a pad, so that they will have the money to build the house in the future without having to re-bury the foundation.

A house occupies a small area, only about [-] square meters. Several people dig the soil together, but it is not slow, and the foundation is almost dug within two days.Just when everyone was about to call it a day, Shen Jiahu went down with a hoe, and the soil dug out was damp, which was very different from other clods of soil.He was stunned for a moment, this is only three meters, right?Judging from the depth of the two wells in Guangyan Village, it is impossible to get water from this location!

Shen Jiahu immediately became energetic, dug deeper and deeper, and the humidity of the soil became higher and higher, until it was obviously lower than other places, and then stopped, and called his cousin Shen Jiahe to come over and ask him what to do with this place.If the water came out, if it affected a large area, then the land could not be used to build a house. In other words, it was very likely that their work was in vain.

Shen Jiahe casually grabbed a handful of soil, feeling the thick moisture in it: "Cousin Hu, go ahead, I'll discuss it with my family."

Everyone was busy with their own work before, and didn't notice any abnormalities on Shen Jiahu's side. When he called Shen Jiahe over, everyone's attention was immediately attracted to them. After asking about the situation, they quickly gathered around, "How can there be water in such a shallow place?"

"That's right. The shallowest well in our village is about ten meters deep. According to the humidity of the soil here, you can dig one or two meters down at most to get water out."

"Dig it quickly, if you can drink it, we won't have to be so nervous about drinking water in our village."

"This place is privately owned by Shen Jiahe, is his family willing?"

"It's up to each person to change it to a place that doesn't lack water. Put it in a place like our village. Shenjiahe wouldn't do that. It would offend a whole village, and no one would be that stupid."

"That's true. But are we thinking too much? I think the water is probably undrinkable. I have grown up so much, and I haven't heard of any shallow well in our village that people can drink for a long time. "

"Don't talk so much nonsense, just dig it out and test the water quality. Who doesn't know that shallow wells can't drink? But no one has dug such a shallow well, right? Maybe the water can enter. The weather is so hot, Shahe The water is not even waist deep, and it is a good omen that a well can be dug at this time! Come on, everyone takes turns digging, and come over to rejoice."

There weren't many people digging the foundation, so there was such a big commotion here that the villagers who were doing other things were also attracted.As soon as they heard that water was dug, and some people said it was a happy event, everyone was eager to try. Everyone wanted to dig a few hoes, and it was best to dig until the last time.Soon, everyone lined up in a line, and even the village women who were doing some delicate work in the woods were at the end of the line.

Seeing such a situation, Fang Tianlin had a smile on his lips, and was dragged by Shen Jiahe excitedly to run home together.

"What did you say? Water was dug out from the foundation?" Father Shen's eyes widened suddenly, "Go, let's take a look, if..."

Everyone present understood the meaning of Old Father Shen's unfinished words.If the water is really drinkable, it will be a great joy. Even if it cannot be imported, it will bring a lot of convenience to the family.

It's not that the water source people in Guangyan Village can't drink it, but they can't drink it for a long time. The abandoned well in the village was originally used for washing clothes, but it was abandoned after the water deteriorated.At that time, it was much more convenient for people to wash things, and they didn't have to go to the Shahe River, which was some distance from the village, to wash.

In other words, as long as the Shen family is not too unlucky, the water from the forest can also be used to water the ground and do laundry. How much trouble can this save?

Water is a treasure to Guangyan Village. The well in the center of the village is well protected by the villagers. Usually, each family has a limited amount of water supply. Only when doing business can they receive an extra share of water. Restrictions, if you don't have enough, you can only borrow it from someone close to you, and you have to pay it back later.

When the news spread, the whole village became a sensation, and the villagers ran to the woods no matter what happened or not.Soon, the foundation was completely surrounded.

Thanks to the village elders who maintained order, there was no stampede.

Shen Jiahe stared at the constantly waving hoes without blinking, and clenched his hands tightly.

Seeing that the digging was almost done, Fang Tianlin touched his wife's arm, and said in a low voice, "Everyone has dug, why don't you and dad go down and try?"

"Uh, okay, okay! I'll tell dad right now." Shen Jiahe turned around happily, smiling so brightly, shining brightly in the sun, almost dazzled Fang Tianlin's eyes.

This is Shenjiahe's house, and it is reasonable for the Shen family to participate.The three Shen Jiahai brothers had been in the queue before, and at this time their turn was over, if Shen Jiahe hadn't come home to call for someone, he would have been one of them.

Father Shen did his part, took the hoe handed to him by the last person at the end of the line, and dug with all his might.Several times in a row, no water came out, and he didn't hit it deadly. He handed the hoe to the third son, and stood aside to watch and take a break.

Seeing that it was Shen Jiahe's turn, Fang Tianlin paid special attention.When Shen Jiahe dropped the fifth hoe, with a thought, he moved the spring in the water space under his wife's hoe. "Pfft", as soon as the hoe fell, the water splashed in all directions, drenching Shen Jiahe's body, and the bodies of several people who stood close were also wet.After a while, the water column rising into the sky became smaller, and the spring began to guzzle out water. The water volume was not very large, but it was more than enough for a village.

Everyone opened their mouths wide, it was spring water, it was spring water!

"Everything is ready?" The village chief couldn't hide his excitement. Seeing how clear the water was, the water was probably drinkable. After all, he was still a little worried, so he asked someone to scoop up a ladle of water to test the water quality.

"Well, it's all here."

This set of water testing equipment looks simple, but the village paid a lot of money to buy it, and it also comes with a few medicines.It is related to everyone's health. The water quality of the well should be checked every time it is shut down. If there is any abnormality, another well will have to be dug. No one wants such a thing to happen.Digging shallow water wells is okay, and villagers who know some skills can dig them themselves, but deep water wells can only be done by craftsmen who have mastered this skill.Even so, well digging accidents still occur from time to time, which also leads to the expense of digging a deep well.Because of this, a village as big as Guangyan Village has only one well for drinking water.

Time passed bit by bit, from the original sunny day, to the sunset, and then to the night, when the torch was lit, no one left, and all eyes were on the water testing equipment in front of the village chief.

"It's done, this water is drinkable!" The village head said in a high voice, picked up the ladle that was set aside, and poured a few sips. The sweet spring water entered the mouth, and the heat accumulated before it disappeared, and he was excited. Added another three points, "I have never drank such sweet water in my life. Come on, everyone have a taste, and wait for the Huijia River to block the spring, and then build a pond tomorrow."

The village head had been focusing on the water testing equipment before, and didn't notice Shen Jiahe's movements.It was too late for him to say this, Shen Jiahe blocked the spring well before.Regardless of whether people can drink the water or not, it is necessary to build a pool, and naturally we cannot let the spring water keep flowing out.

Seeing this, the village chief praised him with relief, saying that it was already blocked, so he would not ask him to dig it out again.The scoop of water in the village head's hand became a sweet pastry, and the villagers around wanted to drink it.The village head didn't care about this, and handed the water ladle to the person at hand, and then called the clan elders and Father Shen to discuss the matter overnight, even ignoring dinner.

As soon as the village chief left, Shen Jiahu and Shen Jiahe were surrounded by people, and words of praise came out of the villagers' mouths as if they didn't want money, which embarrassed them so much that they didn't even know what to say. Waiting for treatment?

After getting the results, the villagers gradually dispersed with joy in their eyes.Looking at the speed at which the spring water gushes out, drinking water in the future doesn't have to be as calculated as it is now. They haven't been able to drink water for a long time, and the good news comes suddenly. How can we not make them happy?Especially those few villagers who have tasted the taste of spring water have great expectations for it.

Uncle Li looked at Shen Jiahu and Shen Jiahe who were surrounded in the middle, curled her lips, what is there to be proud of?Can Shenjia River still monopolize this water?Everyone in the village has a share, so there is no need to express your opinion so quickly.

This night, every household in Guangyan Village postponed dinner.The Shen family ate late, and didn't open until Father Shen walked into the courtyard humming a little tune with his hands behind his back.

Everyone was very interested in the results of the discussion, and Father Shen didn't hold everyone back, and said directly: "For the third child to build a house, except for the cost of raw materials, the village will cover all other work. Build a small house at the spring and build a small pool. , and dig two more canals, one leading to the outside of the forest for the villagers to fetch water, and the other for our own use."

Hearing this, all the Shen family turned their attention to Fang Tianlin.Few farmers can dig three meters deep when digging foundations. It was Fang Tianlin who insisted, and Father Shen finally agreed.If not, this spring may still not be able to see the light of day.The fact that Fang Tianlin is a blessed person has taken root in the hearts of the Shen family since today.

The happiest thing among all the people present was Shen Jiahe's. If his daughter-in-law was lucky, it meant that the Shen family had good luck. As a husband, he was also honored.

After being happy, everyone went back to their rooms.

Wu Dongping didn't expect to come to Yue's house to help and meet such a happy event. Even he, a native of the village, was lucky enough to go up and plan two hoes. Even though he didn't dig out the spring, it still made his heart soar.That spring belongs to the third brother-in-law's family, and I'm afraid that even his family will be honored in the future.It doesn't matter in normal times, if there is a child in the family, going back with some spring water may reduce the chance of premature death.

Although Wu Dongping had never tasted that water, he had eyes and ears, and the spring water was clear, but everyone who drank it said it was better than ordinary well water.

The village chiefs and elders all knew the seriousness of the matter, and all the villagers were given a gag order, and this matter could not be spread outside the public. It should only be that Guangyan Village dug a new drinking well.After notifying everyone of this matter, Wu Dongping, a man from outside the village, became the focus of his care. Fortunately, he is Father Shen's son-in-law, and he is honest. When the father-in-law said this, he immediately knew what to do.

The next day, the number of villagers who came to help increased a lot. They built ponds, dug ditches, and moved a section to the side to re-excavate the foundation...the forest was very busy.

It is impossible for so many people to ask the Shen family to provide food. The village chief said long ago that this is for themselves, and by the way, help the Shen family who has made great contributions to the village.Therefore, everyone has no complaints about the fact that they have to go home to eat after working for a long time.Of course, even if there is, it is only behind the back, and no one dares to show face in person.

The Shen family is not a penny-pinching person. Between meals, they will bring some food and drink to those who help, so that they will not work hungry.

Except for the well-built house where people live, as long as there are no leaks or collapses, almost the whole village was mobilized this time, and the speed was unexpectedly fast. In ten days or so, not only the houses were completely destroyed. After it was built, a fence was erected around the forest, and even the acre of land surrounded by Fang Tianlin was also organized.

As for other odd jobs, the Shen family couldn't bother the villagers anymore, they had to take care of them slowly.

Fang Tianlin didn't expect that making a spring would be so valued.He was fortunate that the spring was only water from the outer space, if it had been replaced with water from the inner space, the commotion would have been even bigger than this.This made him realize once again the importance of water to the people in this place.
