Scholars in the courtyard

Siheyuan, Jia's house.

Qin Huairu sat on the bed and cried. Beside her, Mrs. Jia Zhang stood at the door. Outside the door, Bang Gang and Xiao Dang were kicked out, and beside them stood Yi Zhonghai.

At this moment, the only sounds in the room were Qin Huairu's crying and Jia Zhang's cursing.

Outside the house, Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu looked anxious, but they couldn't get in to join in.

"Qin Huairu, let me tell you, put away those thoughts that you don't have anymore."

"Dongxu is buried in front of him, and you are just thinking about finding a new home, right?"

"I'm telling you, in this family, as long as I'm here, you don't have to think about that."

Mrs. Jia Zhang pinched her waist and raised her eyebrows, her triangular eyes filled with viciousness.

She was not afraid of being heard by others, and she even shouted it on purpose so that people would know that although there was no man in her Jia family, not everyone could bully her.

Qin Huairu wiped her tears with her sleeves. She said everything she needed to say and refuted everything she needed to refute. The mother-in-law in front of her was not a reasonable person at all.

When she got home last night, Mrs. Jia Zhang was rude to her, cursing Silly Zhu for having bad intentions and scolding her for being shameless for walking so close to each other.

Gradually the scolding continued.

This morning has started again.

Why are the two of them getting together, thinking about giving birth to Silly Zhu's child before the baby comes out of her belly? She is a shameless prostitute, and she even shouts these words, which makes people feel chilled.

Seeing that Qin Huairu was said to be in no mood to refute, Jia Zhang was breathing heavily and felt a pain in her heart.

Not angry, just hungry.

I haven't eaten since I came back last night. I cursed for a while this morning. My stomach is empty and I have been starving for a long time.

"Did you hear what I said?"

Qin Huairu didn't move.

"You'd better listen, otherwise, if you get a job in the steel rolling mill, I'll be ruined by you, and I'll go back to the countryside."

Jia Zhang threatened, but Qin Huairu was not afraid after hearing this, but instead raised her head and looked at Jia Zhang.

"What are you looking at?"

"I'm telling you, don't think I'm scaring you. If you dare to do something sorry to Dongxu, my old lady won't be able to spare you!"

Qin Huairu felt disdainful that this old pious woman was threatening her with this.

Isn't it just going back to the countryside? What is she afraid of?

The one I'm most afraid of is probably the old woman.

I feel funny in my heart, I will send you away first when I get a chance.

When Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu looking at her teasingly, her heart suddenly trembled.

As if he had guessed something, he spoke softly, "Hurry up and cook! I'm starving!"

Qin Huairu was still sitting there. She was also hungry, but she just didn't want to cook.

Mrs. Jia Zhang pinched her waist and stared for a while. Seeing that Qin Huairu still didn't move, she turned around, opened the door and ran out.

Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted coldly and saw Yi Zhonghai and Silly Zhu as soon as she opened the door. She didn't dare to yell at Yi Zhonghai, but she didn't feel any burden towards Silly Zhu at all.

In this courtyard, relying on his status as an old man, he bullied Silly Zhu.

"Silly Zhu, let me tell you, there is a lot of trouble in front of the widow's house. From now on, don't always follow her around in front of our house."

"If you dare to do something bad, I will kill you in front of your house and you will be stigmatized for the rest of your life!"

Jia Zhang pointed at Shazhu and cursed him. At first, Shazhu didn't take it seriously, but in the end it turned out that he was afraid that he would hook up with Qin Huairu.

This old woman is the shit stirrer in the middle.

At the moment, Silly Zhu was not used to Mrs. Jia Zhang, "Oh no. Mrs. Jia Zhang, do you want to be embarrassed? There is no food at home. Come to me when you are hungry. Why don't you think about it when you eat?"

"Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and smash the pot."

"You bitch Lu Dongbin, you don't know a good heart."

"If I hadn't said that I would help you, do you think I would be willing? I'm such a lazy old lady, I might as well raise a fat pig for you!"

Silly Zhu's fighting power was so strong that he knocked Jia Zhang to the point of being speechless, with a tight feeling in his chest.

"You, you idiot."

"Aren't you just trying to repay a favor by saying this? Aren't you just trying to pay attention to our daughter-in-law?"

"You have no conscience, no, you have a dark conscience and have bad intentions. Don't think that because you are a widow, you have evil thoughts. If you offend me, you won't be able to feel better!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang shouted, and Shazhu sighed.

"You know you are a widow, old widow. Anyone who thinks anything wrong about you is simply blind."

"You are such a lazy idiot who spends the whole day doing nothing but cursing and being in a daze. Even the slightest thought of you makes me feel sick."

"Bah, disgusting."

Silly Zhu was sarcastic and scolded Jia and Zhang instead of talking about Qin Huairu.

"You, you idiot, dare to speak like this. If I don't teach you a lesson, you don't know how powerful I am."

Saying that, Jia Zhang stretched out ten fingers and grabbed at Silly Zhu.

Although what Jia Zhang said was angry, it struck a chord with Si Zhu.

That's what he thought.

What a wonderful widow, someone who has been here before, can give birth, and has a lot of experience.

No wonder Xu Damao, a bad guy like him, enjoys going to the countryside rather than thinking about Shu.

Thinking that Xu Damao went to the countryside again recently, Shazhu felt hot.

This bad guy...

Thinking in his mind, Silly Zhu was not slow in his movements.

Jia Zhang rushed over, but Sha Zhu had already run home quickly.

Silly Zhu was not scratched, and the surroundings were hot and he was watching the excitement. Jia Zhang snorted coldly and sat at the door of the house, looking at the women in the house like a door god.

From beginning to end, Jia Zhang ignored Yi Zhonghai, and Yi Zhonghai didn't say a word.

Looking at Mrs. Jia Zhang, Yi Zhonghai sneered in his heart.

It's all due to eating too much and holding on.

Turn around and leave.

In the room, Qin Huairu watched Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu leave, thinking about Jia Zhang's family.

These are the only two people in this courtyard who can help the Jia family. Without their help, do you still want to eat well?

I made up my mind to make the old woman suffer a little.

Otherwise, I would think that she has the final say in this house.

…

"Hurry up and stop babbling."

Mr. Yang shouted, and Yang Shitou, who was leading the cart in front, immediately turned his head away from the mule, and then looked at his little donkey, his eyes full of tenderness.

What's the matter with being short? We have also made contributions to the village.

"嘘～嘚～"

After shouting twice, the donkey's hooves sped up and the donkey cart ran towards the north slope.

"Master, there's no need to come in this cold weather!"

Yang Xiaotao sat on the donkey cart and persuaded Mr. Yang.

Although the weather has warmed up, the cold wind in the morning and evening can still penetrate my bones.

Over the years, the old man's body and bones are not as good as before. He is getting older, but his habits are not what he used to be.

He is very strong and never fails in anything.

If Yang Xiaotao hadn't brought back a lot of food in the past few years, and the old man had replenished himself, he really wouldn't have been able to get out of bed.

"Look, I feel at ease."

The age spots on Mr. Yang's face trembled twice, and there was determination in his eyes.

Yang Xiaotao said no more.

The donkey cart opened the road in front, and Zhou Kui, Wang Dashan and others drove the mules behind. Behind them were a group of children who came to watch the fun.

As for the others, they are currently working in the fields, plowing and preparing the land, and there is no shortage of manpower.

Yang Xiaotao contacted Xiaowei in his heart.

Xiaowei, who had set off early, was wandering in the underground root system. The trees on the north slope became Xiaowei's best tool for detecting underground water sources.

Narrowing his eyes, Yang Xiaotao looked at a place not far away and pointed, "Stone, go there."

Yang Shitou was stunned. It was bare there. There were many high places around, and there were also many rocks.

"Brother Tao, where is it?"

"Yes, that's right there, hurry up."

After hearing this, Yang Shitou could only change the direction, but he was still wondering, shouldn't the well be dug in a place with lush vegetation?

Why did you run straight into the rocky ground?

The car quickly arrived at its destination.

Yang Xiaotao jumped out of the car and stamped his feet vigorously. There seemed to be no vegetation around, and there were many stones scattered around.

Yang Xiaotao picked up a piece, squeezed it hard, and the stone fell rustlingly.

“This is shale!”

"It's right here."

Yang Xiaotao stamped his feet vigorously and waved to Zhou Kui to pull up the car and prepare to install the steam engine.

Yang Xiaotao believed in Xiaowei's choice unconditionally.

Although Mr. Yang and Yang Dazhuang were also curious about why they chose this place, Yang Xiaotao was ready to dig a well, so they didn't say anything.

Besides, if water is pumped out here and the water well is pressed up, this height can completely take care of the large area of ​​land below.

Several people stepped forward, and Yang Xiaotao directed the car to be fixed.

The mule was untied and taken aside. Yang Shitou immediately carried the beans up and fed one to the donkey and the other to the mule, with a happy face from ear to ear.

In his eyes, how can digging wells be as good as taking care of livestock?

Zhou Kui and Wang Jun used four pieces of wood to frame the carts on the ground to form a stable platform.

Then began to add water to the steam engine, and then lit the coal to start heating up.

Mr. Yang and others watched. They had long heard that this machine could burn coal to run, but they had never seen it before.

When they saw it now, they all stared hard with their eyes wide open.

Yang Xiaotao introduced the use of steam engines, while Zhou Kui and Yang Dazhuang listened carefully.

After a while, the temperature of the steam engine came up. Yang Xiaotao turned the flywheel vigorously, and then the flywheel spun.

"This is a linkage. When using it, check the pressure gauge first, and then turn it on after it reaches this position."

Zhou Kui and Wang Jun listened carefully.

Then Zhou Kui placed the drill bit, Yang Xiaotao explained, and everyone watched as the drill bit quickly rotated and fell towards the ground, with sand and gravel flying around.

Mr. Yang looked aside and saw that after a while, the soil he dug up turned into a small mound, and a small hole appeared in the original place.

"so fast!"

Yang Dazhuang said on the side, and the surrounding villagers nodded.

When the sun warms up, the surrounding emptiness becomes clear. Looking up from the bottom of the hillside, you can see the situation on the top of the mountain. The sound of the steam engine drilling wells can be heard down the mountain and into the village.

For more than an hour, the drill bit went down seven or eight meters. People around looked at the deeper and deeper hole and looked forward to it.

Yang Xiaotao frowned, it's already seven or eight meters away, why haven't you seen the water yet?

When we came this time, the steel pipes we brought were only ten meters long. If it exceeds this distance, there is probably nothing we can do.

After mentally confirming with Xiaowei that there was water under the ground, Yang Xiaotao asked Zhou Kui to continue digging.

At ten o'clock in the morning, after the last steel pipe was connected, within a minute of the drill bit going down, a different sound came from the hole.

"Quick, keep pumping!"

Yang Xiaotao said novelly, Zhou Kui pressed down hard, and Yang Dazhuang also came to help.

"Jiangrang, don't come forward, this thing will hurt someone."

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

After a while, when the drill bit was lifted, a group of people immediately went over to check.

Yang Dazhuang turned on his flashlight and saw a layer of spring water rising up from inside.

"It's out of the water, it's out of the water!"

Yang Dazhuang shouted, but Mr. Yang asked people to move away and stop burying the entrance of the cave.

Yang Xiaotao asked Zhou Kui to continue the operation and make the wellhead bigger.

In the village, Gao Yufeng hung up the phone and finally explained the matter clearly this morning.

Leader Tao on the opposite side didn't understand what was going on at first. Gao Yufeng could only explain carefully, saying that it was a tool developed by the steel rolling mill. It could dig a well in an hour or two, saving a lot of manpower compared to ordinary well digging. Material resources are currently digging a well on the farm.

After hearing this, Leader Tao finally understood what was going on.

This well-drilling machine is a perfect match if paired with a water-pressure well.

After thinking about it in the office, I finally decided to go to the farm and see it for myself.

What on earth is this well drilling machine?

As for the cement pipes from the cement factory that Gao Yufeng mentioned on the phone, if he didn't mention anything, he would immediately ask his secretary to contact him and use special funds.

After getting everything done, ask the driver to go to the farm.

Not long after, a jeep quickly drove out of the military compound.
