Beloved Plantation King

The rumors of Yin Peinan and Zuo An's matchmaking, marriage proposal, and engagement spread all over Nanpo Village within two days. The villagers have never seen such a rush.

Wen Yi didn't know them very well yet, so those people caught Zhao Xiu'e to ask.

Wherever Zhao Xiu'e went, someone would come up and say something.

Some people came to congratulate, some people just watched a joke and joked, and there were also some people who maliciously ridiculed.

"Hey, Aunt Shuizhu, congratulations, it's time for a wedding soon, right? It's fast enough."

Zhao Xiu'e: "Thank you, thank you."

"Hey, Aunt Shuizhu, I didn't say that An Geer is very good-looking. No matter how much Anan likes An Geer, she won't be able to do much work after marrying her."

Zhao Xiu'e: "His legs will be fine."

"Hey, I said, if you're in such a hurry, it's because An Geer has it?"

Zhao Xiu'e: "What nonsense! Nothing!"

"Hehehe, I'll just guess, don't be angry."

Zhao Xiu'e: "Guess what, you are also a brother, you should know how important your reputation is!"

"I know, I know, let's not talk about it. Ouch, I should go to the field."

"Hey, Xiu'e, I didn't say, what is Ah Nan doing when she comes back from marrying a cripple? Look at the girl from Hu Tiezhu's family and the brother from Zuo Zhong's family. How are you?"

Zhao Xiu'e was so angry: "Brother An is very good! We all like it!"

In the end, Zhao Xiu'e was so tired that she didn't want to answer what others said, so she just smiled and coped with it.

Yin Peinan comforted her: "Aniang, it's okay. When Brother An gets better, they will know that Brother An is better."

Then, Yin Peinan was also blocked in the bamboo forest.

Dawei looked at Yin Peinan angrily: "Good you Yin Peinan, you pry into my wall!"

Yin Peinan was speechless: "When did you pry the wall for me?"

Dawei stuck out his big belly and yellow teeth, and said angrily: "Zuo An! It's useless for me to ask you before, so it turns out that you have bad intentions, and you have taken a fancy to him!"

Yin Peinan laughed: "I told you last time, you haven't looked in the mirror yet?"

"Damn you!" Dawei rolled up his sleeves and wanted to beat Yin Peinan.

Yin Peinan grabbed his fist with one hand, and launched a personal attack at the slightest disagreement: "With your appearance, you still dare to attack my brother An? Are you worthy?"

Dawei said angrily: "Damn it, he's just a cripple, I'm not good enough for him?! It's his honor to see him!"

Yin Peinan grabbed his fist and twisted it, and immediately twisted Dawei's arm backwards, and then kicked him up, kicking him like a shit.

"Call me lame again, and I'll make you lame! Get out of here!"

"You, you wait for me!" Dawei felt that he couldn't beat him, he took a sip, and left angrily.

Yin Peinan also took a sip: "What the hell!"

People in the village are not optimistic about Yin Peinan and Zuo An, they think Yin Peinan is stupid, marrying a brother who can't walk, can't help with work, good looks are useless.

Yin Peinan, Zhao Xiu'e, and the others were afraid that Wen Yi and Zuo An would feel uncomfortable, so they comforted them.

Wen Yi smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, what they said is true, we really don't work well."

Zhao Xiu'e waved her hand and said: "Nothing, anyone who can be born will be able to do this, it's not like you have to do it for a long time to know."

Zuo An didn't worry any more, he could walk anyway.

Yin Peinan felt aggrieved for him, obviously his captain was so good.

Zuo An comforted him in turn: "They don't know the condition of my legs, think about it, when I can walk in the future, I will blind them."

Yin Peinan was amused, and hugged her sweetheart: "Well, let them stare out their eyes!"

No matter what others say, the two families follow the

The tasks on the schedule, the few days before planting, have to concentrate on solving the big problem of irrigation.

Their wasteland is concentrated at the foot of two small hills, far away from the river, and the terrain is higher. The ditches on the side of the paddy fields and dry land cannot draw water, so it is not convenient for irrigation.

This is also one of the main reasons why no one has reclaimed the wasteland here.

Carrying water and watering vegetables is exhausting.

In the evening, Yin Peinan and Zuo An explained their water diversion method to Zhao Xiu'e and the others again to make sure they understood.

The next day, they were busy.

When they were preparing bamboo, they kept some big ones on purpose, and sawed off the slender parts at the top to make bamboo strips, leaving only the thick ones a few meters at the root.There are thousands of them, and all the bamboo joints in the middle have been pierced, just waiting to be used now.

On this day, a few people picked and carried the bamboo to a large mountain range immediately behind the small hill.

This mountain is very high, with continuous mountains, three times higher than the small mountain. There is a waterfall on its back, and there is water flow all year round. The mountain stream formed below is the water source for several small villages on the back of the mountain.

However, this mountain completely separates Nanpo Village from the villages on the back, and the slope of the mountain stretches for hundreds of meters, so it is not convenient to bring water from the creek.

This mountain is in the section of Nanpo Village, and there happens to be a depression between the two peaks, which is higher than the small hill.And the apex of the waterfall is much higher than the col.

The solution Yin Peinan and Zuo An came up with was to use bamboo tubes to channel the water from the waterfall through the valleys and small hills to the wasteland, which not only solves the water use on the hills, but also solves the water use of the wasteland.

It's just that the project of drinking water in bamboo tubes at the beginning is quite big and requires a lot of waste.

But it's worth it.

Daqiang was hunting on the mountain. Seeing them all carrying bamboo and ropes up the mountain, he was puzzled and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Yin Peinan replied, "Drain water."

Daqiang: "...what?"

Yin Peinan explained to him.

Daqiang looked at Dashan, then at several people, not knowing what to say.

"...Who came up with it?"

Yin Peinan grinned: "Me and Brother An."

Daqiang gave him a thumbs up, and looked at them, only Yin Peinan was a man, and the women and brothers didn't have so much strength to transport bamboo up and down the mountain. When will it be transported.

He asked, "Want to help?"

Yin Peinan's eyes lit up, it was good to have someone to help. "Uncle Daqiang, are you willing to help? Will it delay you?"

"It's okay, the seeds have been sprinkled, and I have a few days to spare before planting peanuts." Uncle Daqiang replied.

"That's great! Then Uncle Daqiang, we will not be polite, we really need help." Yin Peinan said happily.

Uncle Daqiang smiled and said: "It's okay, I just happened to see if this works for you. If it works, I will also open up two acres of wasteland. When the time comes, can you borrow water for me to irrigate?"

Yin Peinan naturally said yes: "No problem."

"Come on, give me half. Let's go." Uncle Daqiang divided some bamboos from Wenyi, Shuizhu, and Zhao Xiu'e each, and carried them up the mountain.

Afterwards, Uncle Daqiang called his wife and son and daughter-in-law to help, and the speed was much faster.

They started tying bamboos from the creek where the waterfall fell. The bamboo heads were put on the tail, and the tail was put on the head again. One by one, most of them were tied to the trunk to avoid being bitten by wild animals.The low-lying places are framed with branches, and they go down the mountain to maintain the drop.

Yin Peinan and Uncle Daqiang's son were doing the work of going up and down the tree, and the others were in charge of transporting the bamboo.

Although there are seven or eight people, it takes a lot of time to go up the mountain, and their progress is not fast.

At the critical moment when they were busy, a carriage arrived from Yin Peinan's house.

Zheng Xiaobao knocked on the door with a cane for a while but no one came to open it.

He turned his head and said, "Master, it seems that you are not at home."

Zheng Wenhao was poking his head in front of the yard, and he was also very distressed: "It seems that he is not here."

Zhao Xiu'e happened to be back to move bamboo, and when she saw it, she asked, "Who are you looking for?"

When the two heard someone ask, Zheng Xiaobao quickly turned around and replied: "Mother, is this Yin Peinan's house? Why is no one at home? Do you know where they went?"

Zhao Xiu'e saw that the two were well dressed, especially the other young man, who was well dressed, and saw that the handlebars beside the carriage seemed familiar, so she thought about it, this is the butler of the Zheng family The handlebar style when Forber came over.

She guessed who was coming, and said: "It's Yin Peinan's family. Are you Young Master Zheng?"

Zheng Wenhao nodded and replied: "My surname is Zheng, what is your name, Madam?"

Zhao Xiu'e replied with a smile: "I'm Yin Peinan's mother. Master Zheng, are you looking for Anan? He's not at home now. Come in and sit down."

Knowing that it was Yin Peinan's mother, Zheng Wenhao happily followed and asked, "Hello, Aunt Yin. Where has he gone?"

"It's on the mountain."

Zheng Wenhao's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Did he go hunting again?"

Zhao Xiu'e shook her head, opened the door and poured him a glass of cold boiled water: "No, I'm making a connection tube, we're going to bring water down from the mountain."

Zheng Wenhao didn't understand much, so Zhao Xiu'e explained it to him.

"Oh, how long will it take to finish?" It sounds complicated.

"It will take two or three days. He is on the mountain now, I will call him down for you."

Zheng Wenhao quickly stopped him and said, "I'll go with you." He wanted to see how the connecting tube was made.

Zhao Xiu'e hesitated, "You guys should wait, the road on the mountain is not easy."

Zheng Wenhao was very persistent, but Zhao Xiu'e had no choice but to tie two bundles of bamboo and pick them up.

Seeing this, Zheng Wenhao went over and hugged five bamboos.

Zhao Xiu'e saw it, and hurriedly said, "Hey, hey, Young Master Zheng, put it down quickly, you don't need to move it, put it down quickly."

This young master is delicate and expensive, going up the mountain is embarrassing enough, how dare he let him carry the bamboo, it will be bad if it bumps into it.

Zheng Wenhao was very strong, hugging him, he didn't care if the bamboo stained his clothes, and said: "It's okay, let's go. Xiaobao, you wait here."

Little Treasure's legs haven't recovered yet, so he didn't hold back, and said obediently: "Good young master, be careful."

The handlebar saw his young master carrying bamboo, so he hurried over to take over: "I'll do it, young master."

Zheng Wenhao turned his head, "Uncle Ping, go and move there."

"Young Master, you have to tie it up before you can move it." The handlebar Shih had no choice but to tie three of them with a straw rope and stuffed them to the Young Master.

Zhao Xiu'e looked helpless, so she had no choice but to lead the way, and kept telling Zheng Wenhao to be careful.

Zheng Wenhao followed up the mountain wheezingly, and he couldn't bear it after a while.

"Young master, you are in good health and don't feel tired, so give this to me." Uncle Ping knew that this would happen, so he carried the three bamboos of his young master.

Zheng Wenhao: "..." It's a bit embarrassing.

When Zheng Wenhao saw Yin Peinan on the col, he was already like a dead dog, and he just sat on the ground.

"Master Zheng, why are you here?" Yin Peinan was a little surprised to see him, why did he follow him up the mountain.

Zheng Wenhao waved his hand, panted and said, "I, didn't I say that I would come to thank you in person? I could have come a few days earlier, but Xiaobao insisted on coming, so I waited for him for a few days , he can walk on the ground, and here we come."

Yin Peinan: "... just let my mother tell me, why are you still here?"

"I want to see you make this thing." Zheng Wenhao looked up at the connected bamboo and said, "This is it? Do you want to connect it all the way down the mountain?"

"Correct."

"You have been doing it for a few days

? ”

"Two days."

Zheng Wenhao saw that they were still so far away from the foot of the mountain, and there were only a few of them. Thinking of the hard work just now, he said, "I'll call someone to help you."

Yin Peinan blinked and said politely: "No need, it's too much trouble for you."

Zheng Wenhao waved his hand and said, "It's okay, there is a Zhuangzi in front of my house, and there are quite a few people. Uncle Ping, go to the Zhuangzi and ask a dozen or twenty people to help and bring all the bamboo up."

"Alright young master." Uncle Ping went down the mountain to call someone.

Yin Peinan smiled and said, "Then thank you, Young Master Zheng."

Zheng Wenhao frowned and said: "Young Master Zheng, didn't you say that you are called a brother, otherwise you should call him by name."

The two are about the same age, and Zheng Wenhao is a few months older than Yin Peinan. Last time, Zheng Wenhao said that he wanted to be friends with Yin Peinan, so he asked someone to call him by name.

Yin Peinan followed along and said, "Okay, Brother Zheng. Thank you, Brother Zheng."

Zheng Wenhao was satisfied: "That's right. You saved my life. Such a trivial matter is nothing. If you need help in the future, just come to me."

Yin Peinan sensed Zheng Wenhao's sincerity, and stopped being polite to him, and replied, "Okay."

At noon, Yin Peinan and the others left Zheng Wenhao and Uncle Baoping at home for dinner, and he cooked some wild game himself.

"Well, it's delicious. This spicy chicken is called this, right? It's delicious, I like it." Zheng Wenhao was tired and hungry after going up and down the mountain.

Yin Peinan smiled and said: "Then you will come here often in the future, and I will entertain you."

"Row!"

With the help of the people called by Zheng Wenhao, Yin Peinan and the others moved a lot faster, and put the connecting tube under the hill the next day.

The clear water from the mountain gurgled out along the bamboo tubes, poured on the wasteland, splashed a circle of mud spots, and then was quickly absorbed by the land, and the excess slowly flowed down the soil ditch.
