Transmigrated into the Pastoral Scenery
Chapter 62
"Everyone come one by one, don't squeeze or push. There is still more time, let's not be in a hurry!" The young people of the maintenance team, according to Song Jingwei's arrangement, began to take care of everyone entering the mountain.
Because the mountain road is too difficult to walk, we must take our time.But there are too many people, and it will be dangerous if you are not careful.
They don't know about the domino effect, but Song Jingwei does.Every tragedy was caused by the chaos of the crowd, and the loss of order only occurred, so he thought of the necessity of maintaining the team very early on.
Everyone felt at ease when they saw the villagers entering the mountain in an orderly manner.Such organized and disciplined actions are reassuring.
The group of members of the eldest family of the Shen family did not deliberately walk in the back or the front.Seeing that there was no problem, Song Jingwei turned to everyone and said, "Let's go too."
Everyone in their group carried a burden on their backs, while Shen Junxi and Pei Hongxuan carried their children on their backs.The elders walked in front, and the young people walked behind, slowly following the crowd.Even the family's two dogs went into the mountain, but Xiao Hei closely followed the Shen family, and Da Huang closely followed the mute.
Ever since the dumb came back, Rhubarb has been very excited, and now clings to the dumb every day, as if afraid that the dumb will let him go again.So it seemed that Xiao Hei was neglected, and Xiao Hei went to play with Rhubarb many times, but after being neglected, he would not join him. He is a dog with personality and character.
Song Jingwei asked Shen Junxi to walk in front of him, so he could see the energetic stupid on the young man's back at any time.Ben Ben held a rattle in his hand and shook it excitedly. He still likes to go out so much.
"..." Shen Junxi looked back dotingly, the little guy who created a burden on his shoulders didn't mean to criticize him.
"Be quiet." Song Jingwei patted Ben Ben's buttocks and said, Ben Ben was strong and strong, shaking on Shen Junxi's shoulder like this, it was very heavy.
"Ah!" Benben turned his head and yelled at him, thinking that Song Jingwei would shake even more vigorously if he played with him again.As a result, he was slapped on the buttocks again, and he pouted for a while, crying.
"..." Shen Junxi looked at the two of them helplessly, but it was hard to say which one, because he couldn't bear to say either of them.
"That's fine, stop it." Seeing that Benben was just crying, Song Jingwei didn't shake him back and forth.
I heard the eldest grandson crying here, and his grandparents kept looking back, what happened?I looked around and couldn't understand it.Shen Dongming then said to Yang Shi: "Don't look, Brother Xi and his daughter-in-law are watching, there is nothing to worry about."
Yang turned around and said, "Where am I worried? Don't you stretch your neck too?" He said it as if he was not curious.
"Hi! Go carefully and watch the road!" Shen Dongming said.
The road in the mountains is difficult to walk, everyone should be careful and careful.Especially children and women who have no experience in entering the mountains are carefully protected by the men at home, and they must not be injured.
Everyone started walking from the dawn of the morning, and after walking for about two hours, they came to the mountain that had been prepared.
"Everyone, be careful, don't panic or worry too much." Song Jingwei asked a man with a loud voice to shout: "Let's treat this as our own home, cook when it's time for dinner, and sleep when it's dark. It's no big deal! You guys Say it?"
Everyone is tired from walking, and what they think about now is to go back to the house they built and start cooking.Hearing this now, I feel it's too right, and they all agree, that's the reason.Eating and sleeping are the things we ordinary people have to worry about, and the rest will wait until we have enough food and sleep.
"Okay, everyone, let's cook and eat! Get a good night's sleep after eating, let's talk about things in the afternoon!"
The crowd gradually dispersed, and each household returned to the residences that had been prepared by their own homes.Just counting the number of people in the depression that the eldest family of the Shen family found first, the people inside thought it was lucky to live here, but the people outside envied them for occupying the place early.
"Hey, if you say you want to go into the mountains, you will go into the mountains. Fortunately, we have prepared everything before." Shen Dongming came to the underside of his thatched shed and put his things on the ground.
"Well, don't talk nonsense." Mrs. Yang hurried to the small kitchen to get the wooden barrel, and told Shen Dongming, "Go get water, we're going to make lunch." Then he said to Pei Hongxuan and Wu Xi who came later: "Today If you are tired, don’t cook for yourself, just eat at Madam’s place.”
Pei Hongxuan and Wu Xi said gratefully: "Thank you, ma'am." They are two big men carrying a baby on their backs, and Yang sympathizes with them.
Song Jing smiled, went into the house with Mr. Yuan, and said, "The house took up a lot of space, and this natural stone cave was divided into several rooms. Which one do you like?"
Yuan Jinyun came here for the first time and looked around with great interest. He liked such wonders and wonders. He smiled and said, "It's really a nice place. I like every one of them."
"But you can only pick one."
"Hehe, that's natural." Yuan Jinyun pointed his finger and chose his own room: "This is what I want." His old man has a high EQ, and the rest of the rooms have obviously been arranged, and there are only two for him to choose from. indivual.Of course, he believes that if he likes something else, Song Jingwei will give it to him, but it doesn't need to be so troublesome, the others are also good.
"Well, the mountain is a little rough. If you need anything, I'll look for it for you." They moved a lot of things to the mountain and piled them up in a corner before they had time to arrange them.
"It is enough to have a bed and a table." There is a bed, a table, a chair, and a cabinet in the hut, which is already very good.
"Okay, if you want to rest, take a rest first, and call you after you have eaten." Song Jingwei said, the old man is old, and he must be tired after walking for so long on the mountain road.
After arranging for Mr. Yuan, he went outside and saw the young man was still carrying Clumsy, as if he was waiting for him to come out.He smiled and said, "Why don't you put him down, aren't you tired?"
Shen Junxi shook his head, smiled and gestured: "He fell asleep."
Song Jing nodded slightly, and said softly: "Go back to the house, I'll help put him down and let him sleep."
When the two went back to the house, Song Jingwei realized that this room was prepared for them. It looked spacious and comfortable, and there were many decorations inside.Looking up at the light-transmitting gaps above, he worried: "Will it leak when it rains?"
Shen Junxi waved his hand and gestured: "The stones are layered on top of each other, and there are still some on top, so they can't leak out." But it's true that there will be air leakage, and they prepared a lot of charcoal.
"Mother is burning charcoal. You can bring it later, and also bring a basin to the old man's room." Song Jingwei said, how could it be warm in such a cold day without charcoal fire.
"En." Shen Junxi nodded, and the two of them worked together to put the stupid down.
Song Jingwei stretched out his hand to touch the quilt, it was too cold, he said: "You hold him first, I'll come as soon as I go." He quickly took out all the hand warmers prepared here, and walked to the small kitchen.
Mrs. Yang was burning charcoal in a large copper basin, when she saw him approaching with a hand warmer in her arms, she hurriedly said, "Come on, mother will help you put it on."
"Okay." Song Jingwei said, and the two of them filled five or six hand warmers with fiery red charcoal.
Song Jingwei took two at a time, and sent two to the old man first, two in their room, and the remaining two for Yang and his room to sleep in, and the rest of the time can be used by everyone.
"It's really cold today." Yang Shi was warming up in front of the stove, and her hands had just touched the water, and they were so cold that they turned red.
"Has Dad gone to fetch water yet?" Song Jingwei helped out in the small kitchen, took out the sour cabbage from the jar for Yang Shi, put it on the cutting board and cut it into shreds.
"Yes, many people are carrying water and have to wait in line." Yang took out a piece of bacon, and the pickled cabbage was to be fried with meat. She said worriedly: "That spring is so small, I always worry about it. not enough."
Song Jingwei said while cutting, "It's not that there is only one spring nearby, it's just that it's relatively close." When they first looked at the place, they had considered this issue, and found many water sources nearby, but it was relatively far away.
"It's nothing far away, as long as the water keeps flowing." Yang looked at him, and suddenly said: "Then what about taking a bath?" Her daughter-in-law is a person who will go crazy if she doesn't take a bath.
"That's true." Song Jingwei paused while chopping vegetables, thinking that this water source must be solved no matter what, he said: "Don't worry, give me five days, and I can solve this water problem , then I don’t need Dad to fetch water.”
Yang Shi laughed, she really liked the self-confidence of her daughter-in-law, as if everything was trivial in his eyes.
"That's a good thing, your father will be very happy."
"It's cut." Song Jingwei put the shredded sour cabbage and sliced meat on a plate and said to the stove.
"Hey, wash your hands quickly." Yang quickly poured hot water to wash Song Jingwei's hands, and then told him to roast by the stove.Shen Junxi used to come to help in the kitchen, and she didn't feel sorry for her son, but now her daughter-in-law suddenly came to help, and she was not afraid to help her chop vegetables, she expressed surprise.
Looking at the two plates of finished products on the stove, she felt that her daughter-in-law's craftsmanship was still good, it didn't look like she had never done this job.She attributed this to the fact that her daughter-in-law is smart and good at everything.
After roasting for a while, Shen Dongming came back carrying water, exhaled and said, "It's really cold outside, the wind is howling."
"Don't go after picking up this burden. I think these are enough for us for two days." Yang said, they can still save a little.
"Hey." Shen Dongming put down the bucket and poured water into the tank.There are two large water tanks next to this water tank, and there are many fish and shrimps in them.
"Father, come and warm up by the fire." Song Jingwei hurriedly made room for Shen Dongming.
"Okay." Shen Dongming finished his work, walked over with a smile rubbing his hands, and roasted his frozen red hands in the brazier: "Oh, it's really cold outside, it's colder in the mountains than at home."
"Well, the temperature in the mountains is low, so we need to keep warm." Song Jingwei said, adding a stick of charcoal to the brazier.
"Yes." Shen Dongming took a look in the room, took out a few sweet potatoes from a corner and secretly simmered them into the brazier, and was spotted by Mrs. Yang, who taught him a lesson: "Lunch is almost ready, why are you still cooking sweet potatoes?"
"..." Shen Dongming grinned, not daring to talk back, but he didn't take Yang's lesson to heart, his sweet potatoes could still be stewed, he asked Song Jingwei: "By the way, where is the old man? Where is Stupid's father?"
As soon as he said that, Shen Junxi came. He was warming his son in the house before.
"The old man is resting and tired from walking." Song Jingwei said, seeing the young man take a small bench and sit down beside him.
The orange fire light made Shen Junxi's face extremely soft. He held Song Jingwei's hand that was stretched out to warm the fire, and felt very warm. He couldn't help rubbing the ground twice, it was too warm.
"Go!" Song Jingwei was taken aback by him, and he didn't care to shake hands with him.
"..." Shen Junxi smiled and gestured: "Wouldn't it be okay to warm me up?"
Song Jingwei ignored him directly, but still took his hand and put them on the brazier to roast together.Their intimacy is not at all scruples about having their parents watching, and they seem natural and close.
Shen Dongming smiled silently, concentrating on fiddled with his sweet potatoes, occasionally chatting with them.
The father and son surrounded the pallet, whispering.Mrs. Yang is sometimes busy and sometimes free to visit them, feeling very satisfied in her heart.In fact, no matter what it is, if the family can be together harmoniously, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Not long after, Pei Hongxuan and Wu Xi came over with the child in their arms: "This place is really cold, it's really cold." They were also terribly cold, and hurried to the brazier, Pei Hongxuan said to Wu Xi, "Wait a minute You bring our charcoal pot over here, after you finish cooking the meal, take it back and roast it."
"Hmm." Wu Xi was so cold that his teeth chattered.
"Hahaha!" Although Shen Dongming laughed at him, he gave them the place. Now three people became five people, no, six people.
"Why don't you let your baby go to sleep?" Shen Junxi gestured to them, holding Song Jingwei's fingertips with one hand.
"It's cold in the room. I'm afraid he won't be able to take it." Pei Hongxuan said, his voice was still trembling, which showed that he was too cold outside.
"You guys are really evil, you didn't know how to light a fire." Song Jingwei said.
"It's not Wu Xi, he forgot about Huozhe." Pei Hongxuan said with a glare at Wu Xi.
"It's not that I forgot... it's gone..." Wu Xi shivered, curled up by the brazier, his appearance was really pitiful.
Mrs. Yang came over, looked at the baby in Pei Hongxuan's arms, and said, "Poor, it's a bad thing to have such a careless father like you, hurry up and warm him up, and put him in the stupid blanket to sleep for a while."
Pei Hongxuan and Wu Xi nodded again and again, this is a good idea, and said with a smile: "Your family is stupid and strong, and you have a lot of fire, let me lend you some fire."
"..." Shen Junxi and Song Jingwei looked at the two of them angrily, and then simply ignored them.There is still a long way to go for these two to be parents, and they will gradually become reliable in the future.
"By the way, the meal is almost ready, who of you will go to the Lu's house and shout?" Yang said, she knew that the Lu's house must be cooking, but this is necessary, whether they come to eat or not is one thing , Whether they go to invite people to eat is another matter.
"Shen Junxi, let's go." Song Jingwei looked around, no one here is more suitable for going out than Shen Junxi.
"..." Shen Junxi quickly nodded in agreement, he couldn't let his father or his wife go.
After Shen Junxi went out, Song Jingwei also went into the house to ask Mr. Yuan to have lunch.In this spare time, several dishes of Yang's were quickly cooked, and Shen Dongming and Wu Xi were asked to help them out.
The place where they eat is a well-lit space, and the remaining open space is used as a hall.Apart from being a little chilly, the rest are good.
"Oh, I must bring the brazier, it's too cold."
Wu Xi also brought over a charcoal pot from the house next door, burned it together in the hall, and put it at everyone's feet to keep it warm, and finally it wasn't so cold.
Shen Junxi came back alone. He said that Lu's house had already cooked, so he didn't come over.Everyone knew the result, so they told him to sit down and eat quickly. In such a cold day, the food tends to be cold.
"This way." Song Jingwei waved to him.
"Yeah." The young man sat down beside his wife, and with a smile on his face, he gestured, "Did you wake up?"
Yang said: "It's inconvenient to wait until he wakes up to feed him." After a while, the eldest grandson woke up, and she just hugged him in the kitchen and fed it. It was much warmer there than here.
"Alright, let's eat first."
The bacon, sauerkraut and potato shreds were fried at noon today. Mrs. Yang deliberately put a handful of hot peppers, which made everyone's mouths full of red oil.
Shen Junxi knew that his daughter-in-law didn't like spicy food very much, so she removed the chili from the shredded potatoes and put them in hot water before giving them to him.
"Don't be so troublesome, I eat sour cabbage and bacon." Song Jingwei said, telling him to eat his own quickly to prevent the food from getting cold.
"You can't eat sour cabbage all the time, it will make your teeth sour." Shen Junxi gestured solemnly, and then continued to give him shredded potatoes.
"..." Song Jingwei knew this stalk, he was quite speechless, but he didn't refuse the other party's kindness.
It's just that Shen Junxi did it so out of the ordinary that everyone at the table could see it.They were either playing dumb and ignoring, or they were looking at them both with amused eyes.
"What are you looking at, hurry up and eat quickly, the food is getting cold." Seeing this, Mrs. Yang was afraid that her daughter-in-law would be offended, so she quickly hit those who were not paying attention while eating with her chopsticks.
Who else could these two be besides Pei Hongxuan and his wife: "Oh, the rice cooked by my aunt is really delicious." They hurriedly buried their heads in the rice and said.
"Eat more if it tastes good, and concentrate on eating!" Yang said, and picked up a few chopsticks for her husband Shen Dongming: "You too, eat more and have a lot of work to do in the afternoon."
After eating, everyone helped clean up, and those who went to take a nap went to take a nap, and the house became quiet in an instant.
Pei Hongxuan and Wu Xi hugged the child and went home with the charcoal fire. Their house also had to be tidied up, and it was a mess right now.
"It's all right here, go and see if Benben is awake, mother will feed him something." Yang said to Shen Junxi, and lifted the lid of the pot, where the fish porridge for the eldest grandson was simmering.
"En." Shen Junxi wiped his hands, roasted them by the stove, and went back to the house to have a look.
Song Jingwei was also in the room. Although their beds were not small, it was still uncomfortable to have only one bed. He sat by the bed, saw Shen Junxi coming, and said, "Do you want to bring another bed in?"
Hearing this, Shen Junxi waved his hands and said, "No need, the room is too small to fit." He walked to the bed, leaned over to look at his son, and found that he was still asleep, so he kissed his wife's face before standing up straight body.
"Why can't I put it down? I remember there is a bamboo couch outside." Because bamboo is much lighter, the furniture they carry up the mountain is usually made of bamboo.
"Sleep warm together." Shen Junxi gestured, how could he bear it if he had to sleep alone in a cold bed in such a cold day.
Seeing the young man's insistence, Song Jingwei compromised and said, "That's fine." Although he prefers to have the big bed with Benben to himself.
"..." They were talking, and when Benben woke up, seeing the two closest people beside the bed, it was rare that they didn't cry.
Shen Junxi smiled and carried him out of bed, then gestured to Song Jingwei: "I'll take him to his mother, and let her feed him porridge."
"Go." Song Jingwei said, watching them leave the hut.
Not long after, the bamboo door was opened again, and it was Shen Junxi who came back.He saw that Song Jingwei was still sitting by the bed, not lying down to sleep.It's not early at the moment, Song Jingwei usually rests at this time, he gestured with concern: "Why don't you rest?"
Song Jingwei said casually: "I'm waiting for you." Although the young man didn't have this idea before asking.
This answer made Shen Junxi smile all over his face, and as he walked over, he gestured and said: "You are tired, go to sleep, don't wait for me." But he was still very happy, and quickly sat down and prepared to lie down and sleep for a while.
"Yeah." Song Jingwei unbuttoned the big padded jacket outside and went to bed.
Shen Junxi kept looking at him, only to realize that his daughter-in-law should be thinking about something, rather than waiting for him deliberately.But he wasn't disappointed either. Since the last long talk with Song Jingwei, his psychological quality has been increasing day by day. Even if Song Jingwei suddenly ignored him with a cold face, he wouldn't immediately panic and think wildly.
He lay down next to Song Jingwei, next to each other, keeping each other warm, and then enjoying the warm blanket, Qi Qi let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's really cold on the mountain." Song Jingwei held a heater in his arms, sighed and said, "But this is not the most difficult thing. I'm thinking about how to get the water source." The preliminary idea has been in place for a long time, and detailed arrangements are still needed.
"..." Shen Junxi hugged his wife's waist and nodded behind his back. This is true, the convenience of water directly affects the quality of life.A quiet person like his wife must take a bath every day.But with the few loads of water his father brought back, it was not enough.Even if he picks a few loads every day in the future, it will still not be enough.
But he will work hard, he wrote on Song Jingwei's back: "Bring you bath water." The big deal is to get up early every morning and grab water early.
"Okay." Song Jingwei said, the first few days must have asked the young man to carry water.
"En." Shen Junxi kissed the back of his neck and ears intimately, then closed his eyes, enjoying the warmth and warmth of this moment.
After getting up in the afternoon, many people came to Song Jingwei, some of them were members of the maintenance team, and some of them were ordinary villagers.They have already realized the lack of water source after the problem of cooking and eating at noon, so they all come to talk about the water problem.
"Master Song, the spring closest to us has so much water, but we have so many people, it is not enough. We also searched nearby this afternoon, but it was too far away. Do you have any way to solve this problem? ?" They were all thinking about it, and they didn't think of a better way, so they asked with the mentality of giving it a try.
"There is a way, that is to ask everyone to cooperate." Song Jingwei first comforted the ordinary villagers who came to ask, and then gave a possible answer to let them go back first, and finally said to the young people in the maintenance team: "Since you are in such a hurry , you go and gather people together, let’s start acting now.”
Before sunset in the afternoon, each household sends out capable men to help cut bamboo.
But they still don't know, why cut bamboo?What does it have to do with water.
"Master Song, what we need to solve is the water problem. Why do you ask us to chop bamboo?" Many people wondered, it wasn't that they didn't want to go, it was just strange.
"Bamboo is hollow, so if the joints inside are opened, wouldn't it be possible to transport water anywhere?"
After thinking about it carefully, everyone slapped their heads and said, "That's right! That's it!"
"That's right, what we have to do now is to use bamboo to connect distant water sources to our door, and then the water will be very convenient."
After Song Jingwei told everyone about this idea, everyone showed joy and a sigh of relief on their faces, and said, "This is a good idea! Why didn't we think of it before?" There is nothing better than using bamboo tubes to receive water. There is an easier and faster way.
In the past, there was no shortage of water in Chashan Village, and every household had a well, so they never thought of this method.
After the bamboo was cut back, Song Jingwei taught them how to deal with it and how to cut it into usable finished products.For this reason, they gathered around the campfire and stayed up late all night.Naturally, they are all from the mountains, so it is very convenient for them to go home, and they seem to be more united.
"I finished cutting the bamboo tonight, and I'll pick up the water tomorrow." Seeing that it was getting late, Song Jingwei announced that work was over, and everyone went home to rest and get up early to work tomorrow morning.
A man came and asked: "Well, Young Master Song, we have received the water, it must have been received in our mountain depression. What about the ones outside?"
"It's not difficult to pick up a piece of bamboo. If anyone needs water, let their men come out to help." At that time, everyone will have eyes to see, and those who want water will automatically and consciously come to work.If those are waiting for others to come to serve them, ignore them.
Everyone thought the same, so they went home with peace of mind.When they returned to their respective homes and told their family members about receiving water, their families were once again rejoicing.Fortunately, he had listened to the words of the eldest son of the Shen family and came to occupy the space early.
"I said it's definitely right to follow Young Master Song. He is a shrewd person, and nothing serious will happen if he follows him." The older elder in the family said slowly, very proud of his original decision.
They always look at people better than young people. Some young people are only jealous of others, but they don't know that this is fate. They are born different.
"Look at those people outside. They come to ask for help and buy land with money. Who cares about that little money. What time is it now, the wind is jittery, is life more important than money?"
The next day, the young people went to the higher mountainside to fetch water, and the old people chatted around the campfire.They are talking about recent things, big and small, all kinds of things, and you will talk about it sentence by sentence.The one who talked the most was the eldest son of the Shen family, or to put it bluntly, they were talking about Song Jingwei.
Most of them said good things, showing how they had a strong view of people back then.There are also a small number of people who are not so hearty and speak in a strange way.Such people are generally boring people who come in from the outside to have fun, and are often criticized by the people inside, or kicked out directly.
This morning the young people in the col got up early to work, and all of them carried bamboos up the mountain.Many people outside saw it and were very puzzled, not knowing what they were going to do.
Song Jingwei and Shen Junxi were among them, and they first went to Lu's house to explain the situation.
Qiao Lang and Lu Mengyang were very active and said, "Of course we have to help. Our family has a large population, so we must bring water for use." Without saying a word, they took their hatchets and followed the group.
The nearby people heard it, and quickly asked their own men to help.So the chain reaction, everyone knows, let their own men go.
There are also some people who don't do it. He would rather carry water nearby.I have never heard of the bamboo tube to catch water. Who knows if it is a waste of work.There are also some families with few people in the family, who feel that there is no need to fetch water, and they can live by carrying water.
The Shen family has a large population, and they don't have a man who does heavy work all year round, so collecting water is a good solution.
Shen Dongqi was going to go, he said to his younger brother Shen Dongying: "Go, get the hatchet, let's go too!"
Shen Dongying was dumbfounded, and said, "I have never done farm work."
"This is not farm work, it's men's work." Shen Dongqi said: "Or, are you willing to carry water for the family every day?"
Thinking of the work of carrying water, Shen Dongqi shuddered deeply. He went out to carry two loads yesterday, and when he returned home, he was so tired that his waist was sore and his back ached. Not to mention the blisters on the soles of his feet, the skin on his shoulders was also torn.Carrying water is really not a human job. He shook his head quickly and said, "I can't carry water every day." His second brother is much stronger than him, so it's the second brother's job to carry water.
"Since you don't want to carry water, stop talking nonsense and follow me with the hatchet!" Shen Dongqi said, staring at him majesticly.
He didn't talk much at home before, but now that things are coming to an end, all those who can speak well at home are useless, so he still comes out to be the backbone.As for his parents, they were exhausted and paralyzed yesterday, and they are still in bed.
As for the third son's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, the water is too cold to cook a meal, and she is unwilling to do it.
In the end, it wasn't his daughter-in-law Liu Yue's cooking, but can his daughter-in-law cook it every day?His daughter-in-law is not a cow or a horse, should she serve a big family?Should I serve my younger brother and sister-in-law?
"Hmph!" Shen Dongqi became annoyed when he thought that a lot of trivial matters at home would fall on his daughter-in-law in the future.
"Just go, why make such a loud noise." Shen Dongying finally picked up the hatchet and followed the second brother out.
"Wake up Jun and that kid, and his wife! Let his wife get up and work." Shen Dongqi cursed, and was not in a hurry to leave. He had to make arrangements for the family first, so as not to make his wife tired again. Die hard.
"Hey, that kid is not a kid..." Seeing that the second brother Shen Dongqi's face was not good, Shen Dongying didn't dare to hold on to that matter, he said: "It's so early, it doesn't matter if the young people let them sleep for a while. "His son and daughter-in-law are both educated people, and they live the lives of young masters and young ladies.
"It doesn't matter? Who will take care of the parents? Who will cook at home? Who will clean up the inside and outside? Who will wash everyone's clothes?" Shen Dongqi asked in one breath.
"..." Shen Dongying was speechless. Didn't the second brother's wife do these things yesterday? She did it well.Could it be possible to let his wife Wang do it?That little woman whose ten fingers don't touch Yang Chunshui, how could she do anything.His daughter-in-law is even more impossible, the new bride is here, and it has not been a year since she married.
"Why, in your heart, my daughter-in-law is supposed to work, and your daughter-in-law is waiting for others to serve?" Shen Dongqi became more and more disrespectful to this brother, and he said: "If you think so, why don't we separate and go out on our own?" Live by yourself. Don’t your parents like you? Let them live with you, and let your daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law take good care of the two elders.”
Shen Dongying opened his mouth and looked at his second brother in surprise. Can these words be said so carelessly?He is not afraid of...
"If you want to tell your parents, you should tell your parents. If you tell your parents, you will be separated."
So Shen Dongying immediately shut her mouth again, if the family were separated, what kind of foster parents would he use to support his wife and children, not to mention his future grandchildren.
"If you don't want to separate, tell your daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law to work harder. From now on, my daughter-in-law will not do so much work. At most, she will help the family cook and wash my clothes." No matter how you say it, his wife is a man, isn't she?
"..." How could Shen Dongying dare to say no, his mind was in a mess and he couldn't think of anything.Ever since I don't know when, his former brilliance has gradually disappeared, step by step until today, he is no longer the high-spirited him before.
It is really unlucky that everyone can teach him a few words now!
More and more people joined the water-receiving team. They chose a pool with a lot of water on the mountainside, and there was a waterfall on it. Because of the winter, the flow was not very large, but the pool was big enough for use.
"This is mountain stream water, which is very clear and usable." Everyone started to connect bamboo pipes from here, and placed them around the pool. There were fifteen in total.
First connect all the bamboo pipes and penetrate them into the mountain depression. This process took two days.Because I was not proficient at the beginning, I broke it many times, and then I gradually became familiar with it. The fifteen bamboo pipes were connected to the bottom in an orderly manner, and eight were connected to the inside of the mountain, and the rest were connected to nearby people. Get water there.
After the bamboo tube is received here, you can go up to the pool to do the final work, sink the first piece of bamboo tube into the water, and let the water flow along to the door of the house.
Everyone was waiting for the bamboo pipe to come out of the water, and many people were already waiting with wooden buckets.
When the eight bamboo pipes in the mountain col came out of water one after another, everyone cheered and began to rush to fill the water.
The maintenance team has been on standby for a long time, strictly controlling everyone's order and letting them line up slowly.Because there are so many eight bamboo pipes, don't worry, everyone can receive water.
"There is really water, this method has really worked!" The people who received the water shouted happily, telling everyone the good news.
In fact, everyone knows it, everyone pays attention to it, and laughs happily.
"Walk around, go home and get buckets and fetch water!" Every household took out the few wooden buckets they had, and the whole family took turns to line up to occupy a place to fetch water.
Seeing the elderly and children all come to join in the fun, the young people in the maintenance team shouted: "Those without buckets are not allowed to line up, only those with buckets count!"
Many people began to feel annoyed, if we had known, we would have brought more barrels up!
No. 16 bamboo pipes are leading to the door of the big room of the Shen family.This is the only bamboo pipe that directly leads to a private home, but no one objected, and they all silently helped to connect this water pipe.
Seeing that her water tank was full at once, Yang quickly put the water outlet into the ditch, but it was a waste, and she felt very distressed.
Shen Dongming laughed and said: "What's the matter, it's just mountain stream water, there are many pools." I have never seen Yang's love for the well water at home so much before.
"Oh, why did I forget the pot." Yang slapped his head, and happily started pouring water into the pot with a ladle, while saying, "This place can also hold a lot of water, just to boil hot water for everyone to bathe in! "
Today is a good day for all staff to take a hot bath. Every household is busy boiling water for bathing. They haven't tasted the taste of taking a bath for several days.
After Song Jingwei and Shen Junxi finished handling the last few affairs, they came home relaxed.The water problem has finally been settled, so there is no need to worry about it.
"Hey! The great hero of our village is back." Pei Hongxuan and Wu Xi had already taken a bath, cleaned up like dogs, and warmed up in the big house of the Shen family with their baby in their arms.Next to it was a small wooden bed with a fence, on which Clumsy stood and couldn't get out, looking helplessly at the father and father who came in.
Wu Xi has been trying his best to play with Benben, but Benben obviously doesn't want to play with him. Now that Song Jingwei and his wife are back, Wu Xi said with a smile: "Come and hug your little Benben, he misses you so much .” These days, Song Jingwei and Shen Junxi have been leaving early and returning late, and they come to help look after the children every day.
"The water at home is ready, and you can go to the kitchen to get the water later, it's closer." Song Jingwei said, picked up Benben who was dressed like a ball, and kissed him twice.
Because the mountain road is too difficult to walk, we must take our time.But there are too many people, and it will be dangerous if you are not careful.
They don't know about the domino effect, but Song Jingwei does.Every tragedy was caused by the chaos of the crowd, and the loss of order only occurred, so he thought of the necessity of maintaining the team very early on.
Everyone felt at ease when they saw the villagers entering the mountain in an orderly manner.Such organized and disciplined actions are reassuring.
The group of members of the eldest family of the Shen family did not deliberately walk in the back or the front.Seeing that there was no problem, Song Jingwei turned to everyone and said, "Let's go too."
Everyone in their group carried a burden on their backs, while Shen Junxi and Pei Hongxuan carried their children on their backs.The elders walked in front, and the young people walked behind, slowly following the crowd.Even the family's two dogs went into the mountain, but Xiao Hei closely followed the Shen family, and Da Huang closely followed the mute.
Ever since the dumb came back, Rhubarb has been very excited, and now clings to the dumb every day, as if afraid that the dumb will let him go again.So it seemed that Xiao Hei was neglected, and Xiao Hei went to play with Rhubarb many times, but after being neglected, he would not join him. He is a dog with personality and character.
Song Jingwei asked Shen Junxi to walk in front of him, so he could see the energetic stupid on the young man's back at any time.Ben Ben held a rattle in his hand and shook it excitedly. He still likes to go out so much.
"..." Shen Junxi looked back dotingly, the little guy who created a burden on his shoulders didn't mean to criticize him.
"Be quiet." Song Jingwei patted Ben Ben's buttocks and said, Ben Ben was strong and strong, shaking on Shen Junxi's shoulder like this, it was very heavy.
"Ah!" Benben turned his head and yelled at him, thinking that Song Jingwei would shake even more vigorously if he played with him again.As a result, he was slapped on the buttocks again, and he pouted for a while, crying.
"..." Shen Junxi looked at the two of them helplessly, but it was hard to say which one, because he couldn't bear to say either of them.
"That's fine, stop it." Seeing that Benben was just crying, Song Jingwei didn't shake him back and forth.
I heard the eldest grandson crying here, and his grandparents kept looking back, what happened?I looked around and couldn't understand it.Shen Dongming then said to Yang Shi: "Don't look, Brother Xi and his daughter-in-law are watching, there is nothing to worry about."
Yang turned around and said, "Where am I worried? Don't you stretch your neck too?" He said it as if he was not curious.
"Hi! Go carefully and watch the road!" Shen Dongming said.
The road in the mountains is difficult to walk, everyone should be careful and careful.Especially children and women who have no experience in entering the mountains are carefully protected by the men at home, and they must not be injured.
Everyone started walking from the dawn of the morning, and after walking for about two hours, they came to the mountain that had been prepared.
"Everyone, be careful, don't panic or worry too much." Song Jingwei asked a man with a loud voice to shout: "Let's treat this as our own home, cook when it's time for dinner, and sleep when it's dark. It's no big deal! You guys Say it?"
Everyone is tired from walking, and what they think about now is to go back to the house they built and start cooking.Hearing this now, I feel it's too right, and they all agree, that's the reason.Eating and sleeping are the things we ordinary people have to worry about, and the rest will wait until we have enough food and sleep.
"Okay, everyone, let's cook and eat! Get a good night's sleep after eating, let's talk about things in the afternoon!"
The crowd gradually dispersed, and each household returned to the residences that had been prepared by their own homes.Just counting the number of people in the depression that the eldest family of the Shen family found first, the people inside thought it was lucky to live here, but the people outside envied them for occupying the place early.
"Hey, if you say you want to go into the mountains, you will go into the mountains. Fortunately, we have prepared everything before." Shen Dongming came to the underside of his thatched shed and put his things on the ground.
"Well, don't talk nonsense." Mrs. Yang hurried to the small kitchen to get the wooden barrel, and told Shen Dongming, "Go get water, we're going to make lunch." Then he said to Pei Hongxuan and Wu Xi who came later: "Today If you are tired, don’t cook for yourself, just eat at Madam’s place.”
Pei Hongxuan and Wu Xi said gratefully: "Thank you, ma'am." They are two big men carrying a baby on their backs, and Yang sympathizes with them.
Song Jing smiled, went into the house with Mr. Yuan, and said, "The house took up a lot of space, and this natural stone cave was divided into several rooms. Which one do you like?"
Yuan Jinyun came here for the first time and looked around with great interest. He liked such wonders and wonders. He smiled and said, "It's really a nice place. I like every one of them."
"But you can only pick one."
"Hehe, that's natural." Yuan Jinyun pointed his finger and chose his own room: "This is what I want." His old man has a high EQ, and the rest of the rooms have obviously been arranged, and there are only two for him to choose from. indivual.Of course, he believes that if he likes something else, Song Jingwei will give it to him, but it doesn't need to be so troublesome, the others are also good.
"Well, the mountain is a little rough. If you need anything, I'll look for it for you." They moved a lot of things to the mountain and piled them up in a corner before they had time to arrange them.
"It is enough to have a bed and a table." There is a bed, a table, a chair, and a cabinet in the hut, which is already very good.
"Okay, if you want to rest, take a rest first, and call you after you have eaten." Song Jingwei said, the old man is old, and he must be tired after walking for so long on the mountain road.
After arranging for Mr. Yuan, he went outside and saw the young man was still carrying Clumsy, as if he was waiting for him to come out.He smiled and said, "Why don't you put him down, aren't you tired?"
Shen Junxi shook his head, smiled and gestured: "He fell asleep."
Song Jing nodded slightly, and said softly: "Go back to the house, I'll help put him down and let him sleep."
When the two went back to the house, Song Jingwei realized that this room was prepared for them. It looked spacious and comfortable, and there were many decorations inside.Looking up at the light-transmitting gaps above, he worried: "Will it leak when it rains?"
Shen Junxi waved his hand and gestured: "The stones are layered on top of each other, and there are still some on top, so they can't leak out." But it's true that there will be air leakage, and they prepared a lot of charcoal.
"Mother is burning charcoal. You can bring it later, and also bring a basin to the old man's room." Song Jingwei said, how could it be warm in such a cold day without charcoal fire.
"En." Shen Junxi nodded, and the two of them worked together to put the stupid down.
Song Jingwei stretched out his hand to touch the quilt, it was too cold, he said: "You hold him first, I'll come as soon as I go." He quickly took out all the hand warmers prepared here, and walked to the small kitchen.
Mrs. Yang was burning charcoal in a large copper basin, when she saw him approaching with a hand warmer in her arms, she hurriedly said, "Come on, mother will help you put it on."
"Okay." Song Jingwei said, and the two of them filled five or six hand warmers with fiery red charcoal.
Song Jingwei took two at a time, and sent two to the old man first, two in their room, and the remaining two for Yang and his room to sleep in, and the rest of the time can be used by everyone.
"It's really cold today." Yang Shi was warming up in front of the stove, and her hands had just touched the water, and they were so cold that they turned red.
"Has Dad gone to fetch water yet?" Song Jingwei helped out in the small kitchen, took out the sour cabbage from the jar for Yang Shi, put it on the cutting board and cut it into shreds.
"Yes, many people are carrying water and have to wait in line." Yang took out a piece of bacon, and the pickled cabbage was to be fried with meat. She said worriedly: "That spring is so small, I always worry about it. not enough."
Song Jingwei said while cutting, "It's not that there is only one spring nearby, it's just that it's relatively close." When they first looked at the place, they had considered this issue, and found many water sources nearby, but it was relatively far away.
"It's nothing far away, as long as the water keeps flowing." Yang looked at him, and suddenly said: "Then what about taking a bath?" Her daughter-in-law is a person who will go crazy if she doesn't take a bath.
"That's true." Song Jingwei paused while chopping vegetables, thinking that this water source must be solved no matter what, he said: "Don't worry, give me five days, and I can solve this water problem , then I don’t need Dad to fetch water.”
Yang Shi laughed, she really liked the self-confidence of her daughter-in-law, as if everything was trivial in his eyes.
"That's a good thing, your father will be very happy."
"It's cut." Song Jingwei put the shredded sour cabbage and sliced meat on a plate and said to the stove.
"Hey, wash your hands quickly." Yang quickly poured hot water to wash Song Jingwei's hands, and then told him to roast by the stove.Shen Junxi used to come to help in the kitchen, and she didn't feel sorry for her son, but now her daughter-in-law suddenly came to help, and she was not afraid to help her chop vegetables, she expressed surprise.
Looking at the two plates of finished products on the stove, she felt that her daughter-in-law's craftsmanship was still good, it didn't look like she had never done this job.She attributed this to the fact that her daughter-in-law is smart and good at everything.
After roasting for a while, Shen Dongming came back carrying water, exhaled and said, "It's really cold outside, the wind is howling."
"Don't go after picking up this burden. I think these are enough for us for two days." Yang said, they can still save a little.
"Hey." Shen Dongming put down the bucket and poured water into the tank.There are two large water tanks next to this water tank, and there are many fish and shrimps in them.
"Father, come and warm up by the fire." Song Jingwei hurriedly made room for Shen Dongming.
"Okay." Shen Dongming finished his work, walked over with a smile rubbing his hands, and roasted his frozen red hands in the brazier: "Oh, it's really cold outside, it's colder in the mountains than at home."
"Well, the temperature in the mountains is low, so we need to keep warm." Song Jingwei said, adding a stick of charcoal to the brazier.
"Yes." Shen Dongming took a look in the room, took out a few sweet potatoes from a corner and secretly simmered them into the brazier, and was spotted by Mrs. Yang, who taught him a lesson: "Lunch is almost ready, why are you still cooking sweet potatoes?"
"..." Shen Dongming grinned, not daring to talk back, but he didn't take Yang's lesson to heart, his sweet potatoes could still be stewed, he asked Song Jingwei: "By the way, where is the old man? Where is Stupid's father?"
As soon as he said that, Shen Junxi came. He was warming his son in the house before.
"The old man is resting and tired from walking." Song Jingwei said, seeing the young man take a small bench and sit down beside him.
The orange fire light made Shen Junxi's face extremely soft. He held Song Jingwei's hand that was stretched out to warm the fire, and felt very warm. He couldn't help rubbing the ground twice, it was too warm.
"Go!" Song Jingwei was taken aback by him, and he didn't care to shake hands with him.
"..." Shen Junxi smiled and gestured: "Wouldn't it be okay to warm me up?"
Song Jingwei ignored him directly, but still took his hand and put them on the brazier to roast together.Their intimacy is not at all scruples about having their parents watching, and they seem natural and close.
Shen Dongming smiled silently, concentrating on fiddled with his sweet potatoes, occasionally chatting with them.
The father and son surrounded the pallet, whispering.Mrs. Yang is sometimes busy and sometimes free to visit them, feeling very satisfied in her heart.In fact, no matter what it is, if the family can be together harmoniously, there is nothing to be afraid of.
Not long after, Pei Hongxuan and Wu Xi came over with the child in their arms: "This place is really cold, it's really cold." They were also terribly cold, and hurried to the brazier, Pei Hongxuan said to Wu Xi, "Wait a minute You bring our charcoal pot over here, after you finish cooking the meal, take it back and roast it."
"Hmm." Wu Xi was so cold that his teeth chattered.
"Hahaha!" Although Shen Dongming laughed at him, he gave them the place. Now three people became five people, no, six people.
"Why don't you let your baby go to sleep?" Shen Junxi gestured to them, holding Song Jingwei's fingertips with one hand.
"It's cold in the room. I'm afraid he won't be able to take it." Pei Hongxuan said, his voice was still trembling, which showed that he was too cold outside.
"You guys are really evil, you didn't know how to light a fire." Song Jingwei said.
"It's not Wu Xi, he forgot about Huozhe." Pei Hongxuan said with a glare at Wu Xi.
"It's not that I forgot... it's gone..." Wu Xi shivered, curled up by the brazier, his appearance was really pitiful.
Mrs. Yang came over, looked at the baby in Pei Hongxuan's arms, and said, "Poor, it's a bad thing to have such a careless father like you, hurry up and warm him up, and put him in the stupid blanket to sleep for a while."
Pei Hongxuan and Wu Xi nodded again and again, this is a good idea, and said with a smile: "Your family is stupid and strong, and you have a lot of fire, let me lend you some fire."
"..." Shen Junxi and Song Jingwei looked at the two of them angrily, and then simply ignored them.There is still a long way to go for these two to be parents, and they will gradually become reliable in the future.
"By the way, the meal is almost ready, who of you will go to the Lu's house and shout?" Yang said, she knew that the Lu's house must be cooking, but this is necessary, whether they come to eat or not is one thing , Whether they go to invite people to eat is another matter.
"Shen Junxi, let's go." Song Jingwei looked around, no one here is more suitable for going out than Shen Junxi.
"..." Shen Junxi quickly nodded in agreement, he couldn't let his father or his wife go.
After Shen Junxi went out, Song Jingwei also went into the house to ask Mr. Yuan to have lunch.In this spare time, several dishes of Yang's were quickly cooked, and Shen Dongming and Wu Xi were asked to help them out.
The place where they eat is a well-lit space, and the remaining open space is used as a hall.Apart from being a little chilly, the rest are good.
"Oh, I must bring the brazier, it's too cold."
Wu Xi also brought over a charcoal pot from the house next door, burned it together in the hall, and put it at everyone's feet to keep it warm, and finally it wasn't so cold.
Shen Junxi came back alone. He said that Lu's house had already cooked, so he didn't come over.Everyone knew the result, so they told him to sit down and eat quickly. In such a cold day, the food tends to be cold.
"This way." Song Jingwei waved to him.
"Yeah." The young man sat down beside his wife, and with a smile on his face, he gestured, "Did you wake up?"
Yang said: "It's inconvenient to wait until he wakes up to feed him." After a while, the eldest grandson woke up, and she just hugged him in the kitchen and fed it. It was much warmer there than here.
"Alright, let's eat first."
The bacon, sauerkraut and potato shreds were fried at noon today. Mrs. Yang deliberately put a handful of hot peppers, which made everyone's mouths full of red oil.
Shen Junxi knew that his daughter-in-law didn't like spicy food very much, so she removed the chili from the shredded potatoes and put them in hot water before giving them to him.
"Don't be so troublesome, I eat sour cabbage and bacon." Song Jingwei said, telling him to eat his own quickly to prevent the food from getting cold.
"You can't eat sour cabbage all the time, it will make your teeth sour." Shen Junxi gestured solemnly, and then continued to give him shredded potatoes.
"..." Song Jingwei knew this stalk, he was quite speechless, but he didn't refuse the other party's kindness.
It's just that Shen Junxi did it so out of the ordinary that everyone at the table could see it.They were either playing dumb and ignoring, or they were looking at them both with amused eyes.
"What are you looking at, hurry up and eat quickly, the food is getting cold." Seeing this, Mrs. Yang was afraid that her daughter-in-law would be offended, so she quickly hit those who were not paying attention while eating with her chopsticks.
Who else could these two be besides Pei Hongxuan and his wife: "Oh, the rice cooked by my aunt is really delicious." They hurriedly buried their heads in the rice and said.
"Eat more if it tastes good, and concentrate on eating!" Yang said, and picked up a few chopsticks for her husband Shen Dongming: "You too, eat more and have a lot of work to do in the afternoon."
After eating, everyone helped clean up, and those who went to take a nap went to take a nap, and the house became quiet in an instant.
Pei Hongxuan and Wu Xi hugged the child and went home with the charcoal fire. Their house also had to be tidied up, and it was a mess right now.
"It's all right here, go and see if Benben is awake, mother will feed him something." Yang said to Shen Junxi, and lifted the lid of the pot, where the fish porridge for the eldest grandson was simmering.
"En." Shen Junxi wiped his hands, roasted them by the stove, and went back to the house to have a look.
Song Jingwei was also in the room. Although their beds were not small, it was still uncomfortable to have only one bed. He sat by the bed, saw Shen Junxi coming, and said, "Do you want to bring another bed in?"
Hearing this, Shen Junxi waved his hands and said, "No need, the room is too small to fit." He walked to the bed, leaned over to look at his son, and found that he was still asleep, so he kissed his wife's face before standing up straight body.
"Why can't I put it down? I remember there is a bamboo couch outside." Because bamboo is much lighter, the furniture they carry up the mountain is usually made of bamboo.
"Sleep warm together." Shen Junxi gestured, how could he bear it if he had to sleep alone in a cold bed in such a cold day.
Seeing the young man's insistence, Song Jingwei compromised and said, "That's fine." Although he prefers to have the big bed with Benben to himself.
"..." They were talking, and when Benben woke up, seeing the two closest people beside the bed, it was rare that they didn't cry.
Shen Junxi smiled and carried him out of bed, then gestured to Song Jingwei: "I'll take him to his mother, and let her feed him porridge."
"Go." Song Jingwei said, watching them leave the hut.
Not long after, the bamboo door was opened again, and it was Shen Junxi who came back.He saw that Song Jingwei was still sitting by the bed, not lying down to sleep.It's not early at the moment, Song Jingwei usually rests at this time, he gestured with concern: "Why don't you rest?"
Song Jingwei said casually: "I'm waiting for you." Although the young man didn't have this idea before asking.
This answer made Shen Junxi smile all over his face, and as he walked over, he gestured and said: "You are tired, go to sleep, don't wait for me." But he was still very happy, and quickly sat down and prepared to lie down and sleep for a while.
"Yeah." Song Jingwei unbuttoned the big padded jacket outside and went to bed.
Shen Junxi kept looking at him, only to realize that his daughter-in-law should be thinking about something, rather than waiting for him deliberately.But he wasn't disappointed either. Since the last long talk with Song Jingwei, his psychological quality has been increasing day by day. Even if Song Jingwei suddenly ignored him with a cold face, he wouldn't immediately panic and think wildly.
He lay down next to Song Jingwei, next to each other, keeping each other warm, and then enjoying the warm blanket, Qi Qi let out a long sigh of relief.
"It's really cold on the mountain." Song Jingwei held a heater in his arms, sighed and said, "But this is not the most difficult thing. I'm thinking about how to get the water source." The preliminary idea has been in place for a long time, and detailed arrangements are still needed.
"..." Shen Junxi hugged his wife's waist and nodded behind his back. This is true, the convenience of water directly affects the quality of life.A quiet person like his wife must take a bath every day.But with the few loads of water his father brought back, it was not enough.Even if he picks a few loads every day in the future, it will still not be enough.
But he will work hard, he wrote on Song Jingwei's back: "Bring you bath water." The big deal is to get up early every morning and grab water early.
"Okay." Song Jingwei said, the first few days must have asked the young man to carry water.
"En." Shen Junxi kissed the back of his neck and ears intimately, then closed his eyes, enjoying the warmth and warmth of this moment.
After getting up in the afternoon, many people came to Song Jingwei, some of them were members of the maintenance team, and some of them were ordinary villagers.They have already realized the lack of water source after the problem of cooking and eating at noon, so they all come to talk about the water problem.
"Master Song, the spring closest to us has so much water, but we have so many people, it is not enough. We also searched nearby this afternoon, but it was too far away. Do you have any way to solve this problem? ?" They were all thinking about it, and they didn't think of a better way, so they asked with the mentality of giving it a try.
"There is a way, that is to ask everyone to cooperate." Song Jingwei first comforted the ordinary villagers who came to ask, and then gave a possible answer to let them go back first, and finally said to the young people in the maintenance team: "Since you are in such a hurry , you go and gather people together, let’s start acting now.”
Before sunset in the afternoon, each household sends out capable men to help cut bamboo.
But they still don't know, why cut bamboo?What does it have to do with water.
"Master Song, what we need to solve is the water problem. Why do you ask us to chop bamboo?" Many people wondered, it wasn't that they didn't want to go, it was just strange.
"Bamboo is hollow, so if the joints inside are opened, wouldn't it be possible to transport water anywhere?"
After thinking about it carefully, everyone slapped their heads and said, "That's right! That's it!"
"That's right, what we have to do now is to use bamboo to connect distant water sources to our door, and then the water will be very convenient."
After Song Jingwei told everyone about this idea, everyone showed joy and a sigh of relief on their faces, and said, "This is a good idea! Why didn't we think of it before?" There is nothing better than using bamboo tubes to receive water. There is an easier and faster way.
In the past, there was no shortage of water in Chashan Village, and every household had a well, so they never thought of this method.
After the bamboo was cut back, Song Jingwei taught them how to deal with it and how to cut it into usable finished products.For this reason, they gathered around the campfire and stayed up late all night.Naturally, they are all from the mountains, so it is very convenient for them to go home, and they seem to be more united.
"I finished cutting the bamboo tonight, and I'll pick up the water tomorrow." Seeing that it was getting late, Song Jingwei announced that work was over, and everyone went home to rest and get up early to work tomorrow morning.
A man came and asked: "Well, Young Master Song, we have received the water, it must have been received in our mountain depression. What about the ones outside?"
"It's not difficult to pick up a piece of bamboo. If anyone needs water, let their men come out to help." At that time, everyone will have eyes to see, and those who want water will automatically and consciously come to work.If those are waiting for others to come to serve them, ignore them.
Everyone thought the same, so they went home with peace of mind.When they returned to their respective homes and told their family members about receiving water, their families were once again rejoicing.Fortunately, he had listened to the words of the eldest son of the Shen family and came to occupy the space early.
"I said it's definitely right to follow Young Master Song. He is a shrewd person, and nothing serious will happen if he follows him." The older elder in the family said slowly, very proud of his original decision.
They always look at people better than young people. Some young people are only jealous of others, but they don't know that this is fate. They are born different.
"Look at those people outside. They come to ask for help and buy land with money. Who cares about that little money. What time is it now, the wind is jittery, is life more important than money?"
The next day, the young people went to the higher mountainside to fetch water, and the old people chatted around the campfire.They are talking about recent things, big and small, all kinds of things, and you will talk about it sentence by sentence.The one who talked the most was the eldest son of the Shen family, or to put it bluntly, they were talking about Song Jingwei.
Most of them said good things, showing how they had a strong view of people back then.There are also a small number of people who are not so hearty and speak in a strange way.Such people are generally boring people who come in from the outside to have fun, and are often criticized by the people inside, or kicked out directly.
This morning the young people in the col got up early to work, and all of them carried bamboos up the mountain.Many people outside saw it and were very puzzled, not knowing what they were going to do.
Song Jingwei and Shen Junxi were among them, and they first went to Lu's house to explain the situation.
Qiao Lang and Lu Mengyang were very active and said, "Of course we have to help. Our family has a large population, so we must bring water for use." Without saying a word, they took their hatchets and followed the group.
The nearby people heard it, and quickly asked their own men to help.So the chain reaction, everyone knows, let their own men go.
There are also some people who don't do it. He would rather carry water nearby.I have never heard of the bamboo tube to catch water. Who knows if it is a waste of work.There are also some families with few people in the family, who feel that there is no need to fetch water, and they can live by carrying water.
The Shen family has a large population, and they don't have a man who does heavy work all year round, so collecting water is a good solution.
Shen Dongqi was going to go, he said to his younger brother Shen Dongying: "Go, get the hatchet, let's go too!"
Shen Dongying was dumbfounded, and said, "I have never done farm work."
"This is not farm work, it's men's work." Shen Dongqi said: "Or, are you willing to carry water for the family every day?"
Thinking of the work of carrying water, Shen Dongqi shuddered deeply. He went out to carry two loads yesterday, and when he returned home, he was so tired that his waist was sore and his back ached. Not to mention the blisters on the soles of his feet, the skin on his shoulders was also torn.Carrying water is really not a human job. He shook his head quickly and said, "I can't carry water every day." His second brother is much stronger than him, so it's the second brother's job to carry water.
"Since you don't want to carry water, stop talking nonsense and follow me with the hatchet!" Shen Dongqi said, staring at him majesticly.
He didn't talk much at home before, but now that things are coming to an end, all those who can speak well at home are useless, so he still comes out to be the backbone.As for his parents, they were exhausted and paralyzed yesterday, and they are still in bed.
As for the third son's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, the water is too cold to cook a meal, and she is unwilling to do it.
In the end, it wasn't his daughter-in-law Liu Yue's cooking, but can his daughter-in-law cook it every day?His daughter-in-law is not a cow or a horse, should she serve a big family?Should I serve my younger brother and sister-in-law?
"Hmph!" Shen Dongqi became annoyed when he thought that a lot of trivial matters at home would fall on his daughter-in-law in the future.
"Just go, why make such a loud noise." Shen Dongying finally picked up the hatchet and followed the second brother out.
"Wake up Jun and that kid, and his wife! Let his wife get up and work." Shen Dongqi cursed, and was not in a hurry to leave. He had to make arrangements for the family first, so as not to make his wife tired again. Die hard.
"Hey, that kid is not a kid..." Seeing that the second brother Shen Dongqi's face was not good, Shen Dongying didn't dare to hold on to that matter, he said: "It's so early, it doesn't matter if the young people let them sleep for a while. "His son and daughter-in-law are both educated people, and they live the lives of young masters and young ladies.
"It doesn't matter? Who will take care of the parents? Who will cook at home? Who will clean up the inside and outside? Who will wash everyone's clothes?" Shen Dongqi asked in one breath.
"..." Shen Dongying was speechless. Didn't the second brother's wife do these things yesterday? She did it well.Could it be possible to let his wife Wang do it?That little woman whose ten fingers don't touch Yang Chunshui, how could she do anything.His daughter-in-law is even more impossible, the new bride is here, and it has not been a year since she married.
"Why, in your heart, my daughter-in-law is supposed to work, and your daughter-in-law is waiting for others to serve?" Shen Dongqi became more and more disrespectful to this brother, and he said: "If you think so, why don't we separate and go out on our own?" Live by yourself. Don’t your parents like you? Let them live with you, and let your daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law take good care of the two elders.”
Shen Dongying opened his mouth and looked at his second brother in surprise. Can these words be said so carelessly?He is not afraid of...
"If you want to tell your parents, you should tell your parents. If you tell your parents, you will be separated."
So Shen Dongying immediately shut her mouth again, if the family were separated, what kind of foster parents would he use to support his wife and children, not to mention his future grandchildren.
"If you don't want to separate, tell your daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law to work harder. From now on, my daughter-in-law will not do so much work. At most, she will help the family cook and wash my clothes." No matter how you say it, his wife is a man, isn't she?
"..." How could Shen Dongying dare to say no, his mind was in a mess and he couldn't think of anything.Ever since I don't know when, his former brilliance has gradually disappeared, step by step until today, he is no longer the high-spirited him before.
It is really unlucky that everyone can teach him a few words now!
More and more people joined the water-receiving team. They chose a pool with a lot of water on the mountainside, and there was a waterfall on it. Because of the winter, the flow was not very large, but the pool was big enough for use.
"This is mountain stream water, which is very clear and usable." Everyone started to connect bamboo pipes from here, and placed them around the pool. There were fifteen in total.
First connect all the bamboo pipes and penetrate them into the mountain depression. This process took two days.Because I was not proficient at the beginning, I broke it many times, and then I gradually became familiar with it. The fifteen bamboo pipes were connected to the bottom in an orderly manner, and eight were connected to the inside of the mountain, and the rest were connected to nearby people. Get water there.
After the bamboo tube is received here, you can go up to the pool to do the final work, sink the first piece of bamboo tube into the water, and let the water flow along to the door of the house.
Everyone was waiting for the bamboo pipe to come out of the water, and many people were already waiting with wooden buckets.
When the eight bamboo pipes in the mountain col came out of water one after another, everyone cheered and began to rush to fill the water.
The maintenance team has been on standby for a long time, strictly controlling everyone's order and letting them line up slowly.Because there are so many eight bamboo pipes, don't worry, everyone can receive water.
"There is really water, this method has really worked!" The people who received the water shouted happily, telling everyone the good news.
In fact, everyone knows it, everyone pays attention to it, and laughs happily.
"Walk around, go home and get buckets and fetch water!" Every household took out the few wooden buckets they had, and the whole family took turns to line up to occupy a place to fetch water.
Seeing the elderly and children all come to join in the fun, the young people in the maintenance team shouted: "Those without buckets are not allowed to line up, only those with buckets count!"
Many people began to feel annoyed, if we had known, we would have brought more barrels up!
No. 16 bamboo pipes are leading to the door of the big room of the Shen family.This is the only bamboo pipe that directly leads to a private home, but no one objected, and they all silently helped to connect this water pipe.
Seeing that her water tank was full at once, Yang quickly put the water outlet into the ditch, but it was a waste, and she felt very distressed.
Shen Dongming laughed and said: "What's the matter, it's just mountain stream water, there are many pools." I have never seen Yang's love for the well water at home so much before.
"Oh, why did I forget the pot." Yang slapped his head, and happily started pouring water into the pot with a ladle, while saying, "This place can also hold a lot of water, just to boil hot water for everyone to bathe in! "
Today is a good day for all staff to take a hot bath. Every household is busy boiling water for bathing. They haven't tasted the taste of taking a bath for several days.
After Song Jingwei and Shen Junxi finished handling the last few affairs, they came home relaxed.The water problem has finally been settled, so there is no need to worry about it.
"Hey! The great hero of our village is back." Pei Hongxuan and Wu Xi had already taken a bath, cleaned up like dogs, and warmed up in the big house of the Shen family with their baby in their arms.Next to it was a small wooden bed with a fence, on which Clumsy stood and couldn't get out, looking helplessly at the father and father who came in.
Wu Xi has been trying his best to play with Benben, but Benben obviously doesn't want to play with him. Now that Song Jingwei and his wife are back, Wu Xi said with a smile: "Come and hug your little Benben, he misses you so much .” These days, Song Jingwei and Shen Junxi have been leaving early and returning late, and they come to help look after the children every day.
"The water at home is ready, and you can go to the kitchen to get the water later, it's closer." Song Jingwei said, picked up Benben who was dressed like a ball, and kissed him twice.
