Scholars in the courtyard

Everyone here sat down in Yang Xiaotao's room, but the people in the courtyard were extremely embarrassed.

Mrs. Jia Zhang still looked up at the sky, but she couldn't cry. She was whimpering and she couldn't hear it clearly.

Qin Huairu still lowered her head and sobbed, her tears of frustration kept coming, feeling ashamed and annoyed.

Yi Zhonghai was still standing there, his face astonished as frost, but there was nothing he could do.

Silly Zhu's rolled up sleeves had not yet been put down, as if he heard the ridicule of the people around him, his face turned red from suppressing it.

At this moment, the courtyard seemed to be frozen in a photo, full of joy, anger, sorrow and joy.

Liu Haizhong watched Liu Huaimin and his entourage follow Yang Xiaotao back home, and his heart suddenly stopped beating. They didn't come to Jia's house at all, they just came with Yang Xiaotao.

At this moment, he felt like a clown, slapping someone in the face.

bang bang

Two voices sounded in my mind, and my face was burning.

Equally hot is Yi Zhonghai.

Fortunately, I wasn't in a hurry to go out before, so I didn't have to be so embarrassing like Liu Haizhong.

But Liu Huaimin's ignorance was the most harmful.

Even though everyone is here, they don't even enter the house. How unwelcome it is.

At first, people around thought that the factory leaders were coming, but they all felt that Jia Dongxu's face, or that Yi Zhonghai's face was enough.

But now that I saw it, they didn’t give me this face at all. What they gave me was Yang Xiaotao’s face.

With each increase and decrease, everyone's minds were opened. From now on in this courtyard, the only person who can really talk about things is Yang Xiaotao.

Silly Zhu angrily said, "Damn it, with this kind of virtue, you don't deserve to eat the food I cook."

When Yi Zhonghai heard this, he was shocked.

"Big guys, eat and drink."

Yan Fugui also urged to open the banquet quickly.

Qin Huairu took Jia Zhang back to the house, and the two of them felt panicked.

People speak lightly.

If you have no ability, people will look down on you.

It doesn't matter how loud you cry.

Bangge was still asking why those people didn't come in.

Qin Huairu just shook his head.

But Mrs. Jia Zhang was sitting on the ground, crying constantly, what old Jia, Dongxu, are looked down upon by others, bullied by others, and have no conscience.

People eating in the courtyard felt psychologically disturbed after hearing this.

Several workers in the steel rolling mill were still at the dinner table, but they could not eat after hearing Jia Zhang's curse. If the leaders remembered this, what would they do if they wore small shoes in the future?

After eating a few hasty meals, I left the table and went home.

Some even went directly out to help.

Qin Huairu felt chilled again when she saw it.

At this moment, she felt that if she continued like this, would she still have room to stand?

Zhou Kui and others carried the steam engine into the central courtyard, and there were people behind to help carry the pipe in. Several people walked by, but the people eating looked over.

Those who were well-informed immediately thought of the recent work in the first workshop and knew that this was something good that Yang Xiaotao had tinkered with. Many people in the courtyard followed and watched.

The area around the originally lively banquet suddenly became deserted.

The few people at the table alone were busy, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Yi Zhonghai can't eat. Today is an important day for his apprentice's funeral. It's fine if these people don't come to support them, but why are they trying to cause trouble?

His whole body was shaking with anger.

If it weren't for the people in the courtyard who couldn't afford to offend him, he really wanted to rush up and question Yang Xiaotao, what were his intentions?

Do you really want them to have a smoother life?

So bad?

Silly Zhu sat aside and opened the wine bottle, calling to the people at the table, "Drink, drink."

"After you finish drinking, blow the trumpet hard for me later."

"If you can't play well, if you can't blow loudly, you won't be paid."

The two suona players at the dinner table bowed their heads silently.

This money is hard to earn.

At the Moon Gate, Xu Damao took a piece of steamed bun and ate it with relish.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai depressed made him happy.

This bullshit uncle has protected Silly Zhu so many times, and the Jia family members are not good people either.

People around were at the door of Yang Xiaotao's house. They didn't know what they were doing. Xu Damao also wanted to go and have a look.

After a while, Yang Xiaotao appeared in the yard.

Yang Xiaotao had already chosen the location of the water well in the yard.

And with Xiaowei here, he also knew the depth of the groundwater.

As long as you hit it five meters, water will come out.

Drilling to a depth of six meters will not be a problem with water.

Yang Xiaotao found the right place, and Secretary Liu and others in the room also came out and watched.

Then Yang Xiaotao began to teach Zhou Kui and Wang Jun how to operate the steam engine.

Two tables were brought out from the house and the steam engine was placed on them. The distance of more than one meter was enough to place the drill bits.

Then add water, light the fire, and wait.

People around watched in amazement as the steam engine gradually began to make sound and the flywheel began to rotate.

Next, Yang Xiaotao demonstrated in person, turning on the linkage device, and the rotor rotated rapidly driven by the flywheel. Then Yang Xiaotao pressed the handle, and the drill bit began to rotate and drill into the ground.

嘚~~甑~~~

The sound of steel rubbing against the ground was heard, the earth and rocks on the surface were rushed aside, and the people around them retreated one after another.

As Yang Xiaotao exerted force, the drill bit sank into the ground at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming a hole fifteen centimeters in diameter on the surface.

After drilling for a while, Yang Xiaotao began to lift the drill bit upwards, and a pile of soil was brought out.

Then Yang Xiaotao continued to expand the hole.

Everyone now finally understood what was going on.

Drilling a well, this is digging a well.

Yi Zhonghai was sitting in the distance. He was surrounded by people and couldn't see what was going on inside. He only heard someone saying that they were digging a well, and then he understood what was going on.

Thinking of the things that Yang Xiaotao brought to the first workshop for processing, I originally said that these things were useless to Yang Xiaotao, but in a blink of an eye, they made them by themselves. This slap in the face was really loud.

"Dig a well? Why dig a well? Isn't it good to drink tap water?"

"It's really Zhu Bajie carrying the plate - thankless effort."

Silly Zhu threw a peanut into his mouth and said dissatisfiedly.

Woohoo~~

嘘嘚~~

Today is destined to be a restless day in the courtyard.

The sound of suonas, horns, cries and the violent sound of machines filled the courtyard one after another.

Even the deaf old lady who was staying at home in the backyard was no longer deaf. Her ears were hurt by the noise, so she got up and walked out of the yard.

But when I got to the Moon Gate, I heard that the leaders of the steel rolling mill were coming. I turned around and went home, closing the doors and windows tightly.

Yi Zhonghai and the others were not in the mood to eat, so they ate a little hastily and thought about carrying Jia Dongxu's coffin back early.

People from the village originally thought that the leaders of the steel rolling mill were here to see Jia Dongxu, and were still a little wary of the Jia family. However, after seeing clearly the situation, these leaders not only did not come to express condolences to the family, they did not even say anything.

The attitude is crystal clear.

Even the attitude towards the Jia family has changed.

Eat and drink, since we are here to help this time, it will be fun to eat.

What kind of meat and vegetables should not be moved, what kind of food should not be eaten, and what kind of food should not be eaten. Countryside people do not have so many rules.

Besides, people from the countryside don’t understand the rules in the city.

What's more, the road is full of potholes, and it takes so long to carry the coffin. As the old saying goes, if the coffin doesn't hit the ground, how can they have the strength to lift it if they don't eat some oil and water?

In this way, a few people ate all the dishes on the table.

Even the plates were picked up and replenished, and the rice and steamed buns were even more delicious. Silly Zhu looked dumbfounded on the sidelines.

These guys who look lean can actually eat so well?

Too lazy to look at the faces of the people here, Silly Zhu took the steamed buns to look for Qin Huairu, but before he could go forward, Jia Zhang stared back with triangular eyes.

Silly Zhu was helpless. He took the steamed buns and didn't want to hear the mourning in this courtyard, so he got up and left the front yard.

When I came to the door, I saw a donkey cart.

In Silly Zhu's eyes, mules are almost the same as donkeys, not to mention that they are donkeys and mules, which are more similar to donkeys, so it's not surprising that most people can't tell them apart.

Thinking of carrying the coffin back, how convenient would it be if it was put on a donkey cart?

Seeing Wang Xiaohu playing on the donkey cart, it is not easy to take him away, but the donkey cart can be borrowed.

Thinking of this, Shazhu ran towards the courtyard.

In the yard, several people finished eating. Jia Zhang looked at them as if they were enemies, but they kept the food for use.

The few people ignored them and waited for a while. After the steamed buns, offerings, yellow paper, etc. were packed away, they started to initiate spiritual enlightenment under the leadership of Yi Zhonghai.

At this time, Silly Zhu ran in and said there was a donkey cart at the door.

If you borrow this, it will save time and effort.

Yi Zhonghai had his thoughts for a moment, but when he thought about the ownership of the donkey cart, he didn't say much and let Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu discuss it themselves.

Thinking of the long journey through mountains and rivers, not only carrying the coffin but also walking, it is much more convenient to have a donkey cart.

But the difficulty is that Yang Xiaotao found the donkey cart.

It's difficult to lend him something.

Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai had the same idea, but Jia Zhang wanted to give it a try.

But before he could get through, Qin Huairu grabbed him.

It’s embarrassing to go. In front of so many people today, it’s better not to cause trouble.

There is no other way, everyone can only go step by step.

With the efforts of several people, the pine coffin was lifted.

Mrs. Jia Zhang burst into tears, and Qin Huairu even lay at the door to prevent her from leaving. Of course it was just a pretense, but it didn't have to be done like this.

The aunt went up to help Qin Huairu and persuaded her from the side.

The stick is covered with hemp and mourning, holding the portrait of Jia Dongxu, walking step by step.

The few people behind carried the coffin and walked out step by step.

bang bang bang bang

The sound of firecrackers started, and then the sound of crying gradually faded away.

The only sound left in the yard was the sound of digging.

After Yang Xiaotao operated it twice, Zhou Kui got the hang of it and took over the operation.

There is no technical content in operating this thing, but of course safety must be paid attention to.

Liu Huaimin and others were obviously more concerned about the power of the steam engine. As the drill drilled deeper, the speed did not slow down. In less than half an hour, a hole with a diameter of more than half a meter appeared and the depth had reached three meters.

This efficiency is already very fast.

Yang Youning pointed at the steam engine and gestured to Xu Yuanshan, while Liu Huaimin looked left and right, fearing that something might go wrong with the steam engine.

They also believed that the 30 horsepower data given by the mechanic shop was true.

In this way, they will feel more confident when reporting.

Thinking that the steam engine would definitely have a greater impact than the pressurized water well, the four of them felt excited.

However, they were not in a hurry to leave. They all wanted to see how long it would take to build such a well.

When they returned to the house, they saw Yang Xiaotao preparing to cook.

Liu Yuhua and Wang Dashan's family were helping.

"Hey, this is fish and meat, I've spent a lot of money."

Chen Gong stood aside and watched Yang Xiaotao clean up the carp. His skillful movements looked like those of a cook.

"It's hard for you to come here. Of course I can't be shabby."

After saying that the carp was packed away, Yang Xiaotao was ready to open fire.

I heard a cry from outside and got out of the water.

There were constant exclamations.

Yang Xiaotao and the two hurriedly went out and saw that when the drill bit was taken out, it was wet underneath.

Wang Dashan dug out the soil with a shovel. Li Zhixing on the other side looked at his watch. In less than an hour, water came out. This speed was too fast.

"Director Li, you can bring in the cement pipes."

Yang Xiaotao walked up to Li Zhixing, holding a camera in his hand.

When Li Zhixing saw it, he quickly asked Zhou Kui and others to move cement pipes outside the alley.

Yang Xiaotao adjusted the angle, Yang Youning on the side stepped up to operate, and Yang Xiaotao took the photo.

A photo of the director of a steel rolling mill operating a well-drilling machine came out.

Yang Youning knew that if this photo appeared in the newspaper, it would become famous.

He quickly walked to Yang Xiaotao and said, "Give me this negative."

"no problem!"

After a while, Zhou Kui and others came in carrying cement pipes and put them aside.

Yang Xiaotao directed the drilling to continue and take out the soil inside.
