Happy peasant girl

Chapter 257 Making Waterwheels (5)
When Jing Xiu first left his parents, it was because he was unwilling to accept the mercy of others and wanted to find his own way in life.

In the past few years, he has traveled around and seen all kinds of things in the world, and his thoughts have become more and more mature. After getting to know Lin Qingxi, he began to reflect on his past self.

For this reason, I also wanted to understand many things that I could not understand before.Now he has really started to become stronger, starting from the heart!
"There is no need to say thanks between you and me. There are some things we are forced to do, but the situation is not so bad that it cannot be handled. Many people are too worried. Even if the situation is really bad, at least before it becomes bad, We work hard to save it, maybe it will be a happy ending, everyone is satisfied!" Lin Qingxi said optimistically.

"It's best for Xi'er to think like this. You don't have to worry about the matters of the Xuanyuan clan and the Wu clan. I will handle everything. You can continue to do what you should do. If you can't even do what you like, you will have a peaceful life." It's not safe." Jing Xiu can finally rest assured that as long as Lin Qingxi doesn't reject him, everything will go in a good direction.

"You're right, but you don't have to put too much pressure on it. This is no longer the former Positive Continent. Snake Tunxiang, it's not that easy. Maybe you'll be strangled to death!" Lin Qingxi said viciously on purpose .

"Hahaha, don't worry, I won't let some people overwhelm themselves, not to mention, I will help you feed that elephant more." Jing Xiu rarely laughed.

"Hahaha!" Lin Qingxi also laughed out loud.

A few days later, Linqingmu and Linzhongguo built the waterwheel according to the drawings of Linqingxi, and together with a few strong laborers in the village, they carried the waterwheel to the Shanmei River not far from Xiyuan. , and fixed the waterwheel firmly in the river.

"Sister Xi, how high is the wooden stake under the sink?" Lin Agui looked at Lin Qingxi and asked.

"Brother Agui, install the gutters from high to low, so that the water can flow all the way down. Also, tomorrow, a wider ditch will be dug on both sides, so that the water in the waterwheel can flow along the ditch to the Go to the fields, and then the fields of each household can dig ditches and connect them together, so that when watering, you only need to dig your own field ridges." Lin Qingxi said.

"Sister Xi, your idea is great. In the future, you won't have to worry about watering, and you won't have to be so tired!" Lin Agui said with a smile.

"Okay, you kid, stop talking so much, you're going to bury the stakes firmly, and try to see if this waterwheel can work." Linyuan Shan said with a smile.

"Understood, Grandpa!" Lin Agui replied loudly.

After everything was installed, Lin Qingxi wanted to be the first to step on the waterwheel, but was stopped by Linyuan Mountain, what if she fell down.

"Grandfather, there are special handrails on the waterwheel, so it's all right!" Lin Qingxi said eagerly.

"No, no! This is the first time to test a water truck. If it doesn't work, it will be terrible for you to fall off. You should find two people who know martial arts. Bai Hua and Bai Yang, both of you can do light work and have great strength. Go up and try." Try." Linyuan Mountain saw the birch and poplar behind Linqingxi.

"Yes!"

Bai Hua and Bai Yang jumped onto the waterwheel, and then stepped on it at the same time. I wonder if the two of them were too strong. Lin Agui, who was guarding the mouth of the water tank to see if there would be any water, was choked by the sudden jet of water. Eyes and nose are uncomfortable.

"Cough—cough—water—cough—come out!" Lin Agui wiped the river water from his face, bent down and coughed.

"Hahaha, of course I know that the water is coming out. Could it be that sweat on your face, hahaha!"

The onlookers looked at Lin Agui who had been sprayed with water, and all burst into laughter.

"I'll go up and try!" Lin Qingmu also said curiously.

Although he contributed to the construction of the waterwheel, he still doesn't know what it feels like to step on a waterwheel.

"Sixth brother, don't worry, I'll try it first!" Lin Qingxi also rushed to step on the waterwheel.

"Let's go together!" Unexpectedly, the waterwheel was built successfully, and Linyuanshan was also happy.

So, Linqingmu and Linqingxi stepped on the waterwheel together, and many adults and children in the village wanted to try it.

"Don't waste the water in our Shanmei River. Hurry up and connect the water tanks so that the water flows into the village, and then dig the ditches in the field tomorrow. Someone will come to step on the waterwheel every day, ha ha!"

Linyuan Mountain thought that two more waterwheels would be built in two days, one would be dedicated to supplying water to the Nayuan and Xiuyuan, and the other would be to let the water flow to the Xiyuan.

After the water wheel was stepped on manually, Lin Qingxi asked Lin Qingmu to try to make a wind-powered water wheel. In this way, the water wheel can produce water automatically even if no human is used to step on it, which saves a lot of trouble.

On this day, after the success of the wind-powered waterwheel, the whole Linjia Village was full of joy and laughter. In the future, watering would not be so troublesome, and even washing clothes would not need to go to the river.

During dinner that day, Lin Renyi brought several people to Lao Lin's house, including the patriarch and village chief of Zhao's village, and the patriarch and village chief of Cao's village, and the people from Cao's village still brought gifts.

"Patriarch, who is this?" Lin Yuanshan hurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands and went up to meet them.

"Yuan Shan, Patriarch Cao and Patriarch Zhao have something to ask you, so I brought them here."

The so-called people who stretch out their hands and don't hit smiling faces, Zhaojia Village and Linjia Village have been on good terms, although Caojia Village has conflicts with Linjia Village, but they haven't caused troubles everywhere in the past two years, and they have learned very well, so Lin Renyi can only greet each other with a smile .

"Several patriarchs can come like this, they already think highly of me, Linyuan Mountain, I don't know what's going on?" Although Linyuan Mountain didn't like what Caojiacun did, but it was all two or three years ago. , In the past two years, the two villages have gotten along fairly well.

"Yuanshan, I heard that your family built something called a waterwheel, which can take the water out of the river. You also know that Zhaojia Village can't dig a well, so it depends on the Shanmei River. You can help everyone. " Patriarch Zhao's tone was pleading, and he couldn't do anything about it, otherwise he wouldn't be the head of the clan brazenly coming to someone's house to beg.

"Yes, in the past our two villages were a little unhappy, but that's all in the past. Now I've beaten the villagers, and we get along well, sharing the blessings and difficulties. I heard that the waterwheel It is very convenient to fetch water or irrigate the land, Yuanshan, please help everyone!" The patriarch of the Cao clan also said with a smile, but his tone did not sound so comfortable.

"Two patriarchs, don't say that. This waterwheel was made by several villagers led by Zhongguo and Liulang. If you want to use a waterwheel, just ask them to teach your clan members. In two days, there will be All the people from other villages want to learn how to build waterwheels, let them come together.” After the waterwheel was successful, Linqingxi told Linyuanshan that he would teach everyone who wanted to learn the new thing of waterwheel.
