Farmer Fubo is open for business

"I'll talk later." Song San said.

The sixth brother's family must tell him.

But as long as Brother Six comes to carry water, others will definitely be seen.

Oh, forget it, it’s not easy for the folks in the countryside. They all come over to help if something happens at home. If you come to carry water, just carry it. At worst, fill up the water tank at home early every day, so that you don’t delay your own water supply.

Song Sanshun handed his little niece to his wife and carried the bucket to the backyard to fetch water.

Fill the kitchen water tank with water, add a lot of water to the big pot, and boil water for the family to wash their hair and bathe.

The family of three hasn't washed their hair for a long time, and they feel like there are a lot more lice on their heads.

Mrs. Wu washed her little niece's hair with water boiled from soapberry. The first time half of the basin of water was washed black, and she had to change the water twice before washing Chang'an's head clean, and a lot of lice were washed away.

She and her husband also helped each other wash it several times, and also washed away a lot of lice.

"Oh my God, there were no lice on my head last time. Why are there so many of them again?" Wu was surprised and threw all the dirty water from her hair washing into the toilet.

Then the three of them took a bath one after another to clean themselves thoroughly.

Finally, Song Sanshun put on clean clothes and went out to tell Brother Six about getting water from home.

Mrs. Wu took the time to do laundry, washing all the dirty clothes and thin quilts in the house, and brushing all the shoes.

Anyway, I cooked up a lot of soapberries today, so I can’t keep them if I don’t need them.

The sewage from washing clothes was poured into the drainage ditch in the backyard, which not only watered the water celery but also killed the mosquitoes and flies in it.

While I was washing the quilt, Sister-in-law Qian came in carrying a bucket, followed by Song Laoliu and her two children.

"Did water really come out of your house?" Sister-in-law Qian still couldn't believe it.

Wu nodded, stood up and wiped her hands: "Yes, it's in the shed in the backyard. I'll take you to have a look."

When several people came to the backyard, they saw that the ground of the shed was covered with wet mud. Song Laoliu took the lead to walk into the shed and took a look, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, there is a lot of water. Sanshun, hurry up and pave the place with stone slabs, and then cover it with stone slabs." Use bricks around the edge of the well, otherwise the edge of the well will collapse quickly."

Song Sanshun: "I think so too. I'll buy some bricks and stones later."

"I'll go with you. I know people to buy bricks and stones." Song Laoliu said.

"good."

The two men took the poles and baskets and went out.

Sister-in-law Qian carried water several times. Not only did she fill up the water jars and pots at home, but she also asked her daughter to boil two large pots of water so that the family could wash their hair, bathe, and then do laundry.

Wu stretched her head and took a look inside the well, and saw that the water level inside had dropped a lot, and she could only faintly see water waves swaying.

Alas, it seems that I have to buy two large water tanks, which can not only store more water, but also store food in the future.

Two days later, Song Sanshun and Song Laoliu built the edge of the well, and the outer circle of the well was also paved with bricks and stones.

At the same time, everyone in the village knew that Song Sanshun's family had drilled a well, and they all came to fetch water with buckets.

There are more than 40 households in the village, and even if each family comes to carry a load of water, the wells will soon be empty.

People who came late were very upset and could only go home with empty buckets.

However, Song Sanshun discovered that as long as he came here overnight, the well would fill up again, and the water level would reach just under the Dragon King Statue.

Song Sanshun was thoughtful and buried his doubts in his heart.

Today, before everyone came in to fetch water, Song Sanshun quickly filled up his three water tanks before going to open the courtyard door.

At this moment, there were several people carrying water standing outside the courtyard gate. They all greeted him with a smile: "Good morning, Sanshun!"

"Morning." Song Sanshun nodded to them and silently opened the door.

I don't know how long they waited outside, but the ground in front of their house was full of butt marks.

As he opened the door, he could not close it again.

There was an endless stream of people coming to draw water, including adults and children. Before noon, the well ran out of water again.

During this period, Widow Cui also came over with a bucket, but failed to get in line, so she ran to the kitchen of Song Sanshun's house and said to Song Sanshun who was eating: "Brother Sanshun, there is no water in the well. Let me see if there is any water in your water tank." There is a lot of water, why don't you scoop some for me, and when the water in the well comes out, you can draw it when you are close to the water tower."

Song Sanshun became angry when he heard this and said sarcastically: "You are really thoughtful."

Widow Cui didn't seem to hear the sarcasm in Song Sanshun's words. She raised her eyebrows and said with an angry smile: "No, I'm looking after the house for your father's family. Logically, you should pick up the draft."

Song San stood up smoothly, grabbed Widow Cui's bucket and walked out: "Get out quickly, my house is closing."

Who in the village knew that this woman was hooking up with Song Jizu? It's really disgusting to be acting weird to myself now.

Widow Cui was pushed out of the door directly by Song Sanshun, looking a little confused.

But she still expected to come back to carry water in the future, so she couldn't turn her back immediately, so she had to go back angrily carrying the empty bucket.

As soon as they arrived at the door of the Song family's new house, they saw Song Baqi and his old wife Zhao coming back in a bullock cart.

"Ouch! You guys are back." Widow Cui immediately put down the bucket and complained to Song Baqi: "Your third son has become very successful. He dug a well at home. Now no one can even look at it."

"He dug a well at home?" Song Baqi still didn't believe it.

Drilling a deep well costs at least dozens of taels of silver. Where does that damn boy get the money?

Widow Cui: "No, the water in his well is so clean that your whole village depends on it."

Old Zhao's eyes lit up: "Really?" They came back from the county. The drought situation there was not optimistic. Even the rivers in the county had dried up a lot, and many people went to fetch water from far away.

If you have such a well at home, you won’t have to worry about it in the future.

"Of course it's true." Widow Cui carried the bucket into the house and said angrily: "Today I was just one step late, and the water was all gone. Hey, you don't know, Song Sanshun's kitchen is empty I have three large water tanks, all of which are full of water, but I am stingy and refuse to give you any."

Mrs. Zhao ignored Widow Cui's complaints, and after giving money to the ox cart, she quickly pulled her husband back to the house, whispered quietly, and finally said: "Xiyue said that it won't rain in the next three years. If we have that If you have a well, you won’t have to worry about your life in the future. If there are refugees entering the village, there will be a courtyard wall to protect it. If you don’t have time to hire a few helpers, you will always be able to get through the difficulties."

Song Baqi pondered.

Seeing that her husband was relaxed, Mrs. Zhao continued: "With the current drought, Jizu and the others won't be able to stay in the county for long. They will have to come back in the future. They won't be able to go to the capital for an hour or two. We must have a backup plan. ?”

Song Baqi narrowed his eyes.

Indeed, the life of Jizu and the others in the county town is not good. Not only do they need money to eat food, but they also have to spend money to buy water, not to mention firewood. Anyway, without money, there is no way to live there. .

And after spending twenty taels to buy a house, they didn't have much money left on hand, and they couldn't even pay for Xiyue's trip to Beijing.

Of course, if Mrs. Jiang sends someone to pick her up, she can save dozens of taels of silver.

Song Baqi sighed, put his hands behind his back and went out: "I'll go over there and have a look."

Seeing this, Mr. Zhao put a smile on his lips, waved his handkerchief and said, "Tell Sanshun carefully and don't offend him."

Song Baqi snorted heavily and walked away without looking back.
