Chapter 248 Dig the well and go to the production team
Chapter 248: After digging the well, go to the production team
Su Daqiang was stunned when he heard this.
As far back as he can remember, there has been no well in this village.
The villagers have to go down the mountain to carry water, and they have to go down the mountain to water the crops in the fields.
The farmland in the mountains is too scattered. After the mountains were opened, the cultivated area became larger and larger. How can people irrigate such a large area? In a good year with good weather and good weather, there can still be a harvest. If there is a severe drought,
One year's work is really in vain.
If he could dig the first well in the village...
Not only does it solve the problem of domestic water supply, but it is also convenient for the production team to fetch water.
Su Daqiang had already imagined in his mind the scene of villagers surrounding him praising him and giving thumbs up.
As soon as a smile appeared on his lips, he hurriedly shook his head and asked Yao Hua suspiciously: "Hua Hua, you just said that the underground running water is in our yard? Are you trying to fool me and take advantage of me?"
Bar?"
"Uncle Su, do you think I'm so boring?"
Thinking that Yao Hua was angry, Su Daqiang hurriedly said: "Oh, no, I didn't mean that!"
He then explained his doubts, "Well, I'm just a little confused. Our village has hired many people to dig wells over the years, but no matter how hard we dug, we couldn't find any. Even the village chief gave up. What are you doing?
Are you so sure that we can dig a well outside the kitchen?"
"On the first day Jin Bao returned to the countryside, she was thirsty and wanted to drink water. Grandma Su went to the kitchen to fill her with water, but there was no water at all in the water tank. She was planning to go down the mountain to pick it up by herself, but she didn't expect that there was
Water actually appeared."
Su Daqiang was surprised when he heard this, "Has something like this happened?"
Yao Hua nodded and said, "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, it's impossible for Grandma Su to lie. Besides, Jin Bao said that the water is very sweet, which is different from the water in the river that is mixed with the earthy smell."
He was worried that Uncle Su wouldn't believe him and wanted to say more. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Su Daqiang was so excited that he said, "Hua Hua, why didn't you tell me earlier? It's been months!"
"Digging a well is a very hard work. Besides, water emerging from the ground is so bizarre that I'm afraid you won't believe it if I tell you. Grandpa Su and Grandma Su also thought so, so they never mentioned it again. I guess
They have all forgotten it."
"What's weird? Jinbao wanted to drink water, so sweet well water came out of the ground for her to drink. How normal is this?"
After saying these words, before Yao Hua could react, Su Daqiang rushed home eagerly.
"Father, mother, it's true, why didn't you tell me such an important thing? Oops!"
Everyone in the room was stunned. Zhang Guilan thought her husband was going to quarrel with her father-in-law and mother-in-law, so she hurriedly stood up and stopped him, "What are you doing? It was for your own good that your father asked you to go to the production team just now. Why are you so stubborn?"
"It's not about the production team, it's about the well..."
"What? What kind of well?"
"It's just that water comes out of the kitchen and you can dig a well!"
Su Daqiang patted his thigh, "Mom, if you had told me, I would have started digging long ago."
Finally understanding what he was talking about, the confusion on his mother's face disappeared, "Oh, what are you talking about?"
Zhang Guilan looked at her husband and then at her mother-in-law, with a confused look on her face.
Yao Hua, who returned to the house later, had to explain again.
After hearing what he said, Zhang Guilan also became excited, "If our family really dug a well, wouldn't we be able to drink as much water as we want? Let alone drinking water, we can just take a bath every day!"
Her sons all jumped up when they heard this, "Wow! Our house is going to have a well!"
"Mom, I want to take a bath every day and play with Jinbao cleanly." Ergouzi said, holding his mother's hand.
"Don't have high hopes for the fact that there are no horoscopes," Li Xiu'e said hurriedly. "Although I saw water that night, I only saw it once, and I never saw it again after that."
She then added: "The reason why I didn't say anything was because I was worried that my joy would be in vain. If I couldn't dig out water, wouldn't my hard work be in vain?"
"Yes, our village hasn't dug a well for so many years..."
Before Su Changzhu could finish speaking, his eldest son interrupted and said: "Try it! If you can't dig it out, there is no loss! I usually stay at home, either going down the mountain to carry water or going up the mountain to pick wild vegetables. It's nothing important. You guys can do it."
Why don't you let me dig into it?"
"You also said that you are the most afraid of work. It will take at least ten days and a half to dig a well. I'm afraid it will take more than a month or two to dig a well. If there is no water by then, you will definitely complain about me and you.
Motherly anger."
Li Xiu'e nodded and said: "If your fifth brother is idle at home, we will definitely let him dig it. He is so busy all day long, and you are afraid of being tired. We are old and cannot bear the children's complaints."
Su Daqiang's face turned red, all the way to his neck.
He opened his mouth to refute, but what he had done came to mind, and he felt so shameless.
After leaving the production team, he has indeed become lazier over the years, especially before Jin Bao came back. He was too lazy to fetch water. He had to be scolded before he would go to the mountain to fetch water.
After receiving a letter from his third brother, he learned that when his mother returned home, he was supposed to pick up his mother and Jinbao at the county train station, but he felt that the journey was too long and too tiring, so he pretended to have a stomachache and asked Lao Wu to pick him up.
"Pah!" With a crisp sound, Su Daqiang slapped himself in the face.
Everyone was shocked by his unexpected behavior. Seeing him raising his hand to slap himself again, Li Xiu'e stepped forward and grabbed his hand, "What are you doing? Are you crazy? Who are you trying to scare to death?"
"I am the unfilial son. I was jealous just now of my father's kindness to Lao Wu. I am really..." Su Daqiang held back his tears and said, "I really deserve a beating! Mom, don't stop me. Let me wake myself up."
.”
Seeing him like this, Su Changzhu felt uncomfortable and angry, and cursed: "You bastard, how old are you? You are the father of three children, why are you still acting like a child?
Just now you were so shameless and said that I am good to the fifth child. I have been the best to you since I was a child. Several times I dug up kohlrabi roots and it was not enough for your brothers, so I secretly stuffed it for you to eat alone."
After hearing this, Li Xiu'e felt emotional in her heart and sighed: "Daqiang, you are my and your father's first child. To be honest, we have the deepest feelings for you! We have always been counting on you to provide for the two of us in our old age.
The reason why you become like this is actually because you were spoiled by us! It's because we didn't educate you well..."
"It has nothing to do with you. How old am I? Besides, I didn't even have enough food to eat at that time, so how could I talk about education?"
At this point, Su Daqiang clenched his fists tightly, as if he had finally made up his mind, suppressing the fear and resistance in his heart towards the production team, and said: "After I dig the well, I will go work in the production team. I will not be a slave at home anymore."
He’s useless!”
Unexpectedly, he would volunteer to join the production team, and everyone in the room was surprised.
The shock in Zhang Guilan's eyes gradually turned into surprise, and finally the joy turned into tears.
Tears were like a river bursting its banks, and she hurriedly covered her face and ran out.
"Oh, what's wrong with your wife?"
"Stop standing there stupidly, hurry up and go out and ask!"
After hearing what his parents said, Su Daqiang reacted and chased out anxiously.
