A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career

Many people have gathered in the Chenjia Village courtyard.

Wang Mazi was alone, so he just dealt with a few people during the Dragon Boat Festival and let it go. He originally planned to lie down early to rest and have a sweet dream, dreaming about a wife or something.

"I don't know what Uncle Li Zheng has to do to summon everyone here." A man said.

"What good things can happen? Then Old Man Chen might find some stupid thing like digging ditches for me to do, damn it!" Wang Mazi cursed with a stick in his mouth.

"Wang Mazi, how can you say that digging canals is a trivial matter? It's obviously a good thing. Now we only need to carry water from the canals for irrigation. We no longer have to go to the spring mouth to carry buckets of water back and forth." Granny Tang couldn't help but interrupt. .

"Hey, I said you're an old woman..." Wang Mazi was about to retort.

The two brothers Tang Xiaolong and Tang Xiaohu stood up like two mountains, and Wang Mazi shut up angrily.

Chen Changsheng and the old lady's family also arrived at the camp. It was crowded and they got into the innermost layer.

Ma Daqiang, carrying the keel of the waterwheel, and Chen Lizheng came last. Everyone looked at the two and gave way.

"Daqiang, what are you carrying?" someone asked curiously.

"Brother Chen, what do you want to announce when you are called here today?" Old Mrs. Chen got down to the topic.

Li Zheng coughed and said, "The top priority in our village is the fields. As everyone knows, we dug a canal a few days ago. With this canal, won't it be much more convenient for everyone to carry water for irrigation?"

"Yes. In previous years, I could only carry water back and forth three times at the mountain pass in a morning. Now it is much more convenient to fetch water directly from the canal. I can carry it six times." A villager said.

"At this year's rate, my field will be fully irrigated in ten days."

"Uncle Li Zheng, this canal is really well dug!" Another villager also agreed.

Chen Li was looking overjoyed. The canal was dug correctly. He continued, "I want you to come here today because I want to tell everyone that we now have a better irrigation method."

Tang Xiaolong couldn't help but said, "Uncle Li Zheng, I'm a rough guy, I don't have much ability, and I don't know a single Chinese character. If Uncle Li Zheng has any good ideas, just tell me and I will do it."

"Yeah, just tell us what to do."

Chen Lizheng was about to continue talking when he heard Wang Mazi's strange voice, "What else can we do? It's just asking everyone to get up early and slowly carry buckets of water from the ditch."

Chen Lizheng glanced at Wang Mazi and then at the people on the field. He patted the keel waterwheel with his hand and said, "This is the good idea I want to talk about today, the keel waterwheel."

Everyone looked at the waterwheel with confusion on their faces.

"What kind of waterwheel is this?"

"What is the use of this keel waterwheel?"

"Can it help us carry water on its own? It doesn't have legs, and it's not a human being. Will it dare to agree when I call it?" Wang Mazi looked questioning.

"Haha, Brother Mazi, you are so funny." Everyone joked.

Wang Mazi saw that he had set the rhythm, and continued, "If it can carry water, I, Wang Mazi, will read the three characters backwards."

Chen Lizheng said, "This keel waterwheel can automatically send water from low places to high places. With it, the water in the canals can automatically flow to the fields, and then flow to every household along the small ditches in the fields. in the field, saving time and effort.”

Everyone looked in disbelief.

"Xiaolong, go get a basin of water." Li Zheng said.

"Okay!" Tang Xiaolong didn't hesitate and immediately headed home.

After a while, he brought a basin of water, Li Zheng took it and put it next to the keel waterwheel.

Ma Daqiang adjusted the direction of the waterwheel, immersed the bottom end of the waterwheel in the basin, and placed the other end on the big rocks in the field to keep the waterwheel tilted up and down.

Everyone gathered around.

"Daqiang, go up and step on it."

Ma Daqiang followed Li Zheng's instructions and followed the method used during last night's test. He lightly stepped on it with one foot, then put the other foot on it, while holding the handle of the horizontal bar with both hands.

He stepped on the pedals with his feet up and down, and the wooden chains rotated in sequence, and the clean water in the basin was scraped up, sent to the upper end of the waterwheel, and finally flowed onto the big rocks.

Everyone was shocked when they saw this magical scene, their eyes widened, and Wang Mazi even opened his mouth.

"Water is really delivered!" Old Mrs. Chen exclaimed.

"Who did this? Ma Daqiang? That's amazing!"

"Brother Mazi, it seems your name is really going to be called backwards."

"King Mazi?"

"It's obviously King Zima!" another villager corrected.

"Shut up, you damn bitch!" Wang Mazi, the subject of the conversation, cursed secretly.

Ma Daqiang stepped on it for a while, and the water in the basin was empty. Tang Xiaolong quickly brought another basin. He was beside him and said eagerly, "Brother Daqiang, let me try it too."

Ma Daqiang stepped back from the keel waterwheel and patiently taught Tang Xiaolong how to operate, "First stand up slowly with one foot, then the other foot, hold the horizontal bar with both hands, and then you can step on it."

A stream of water emerged from the top of the water tanker. Tang Xiaolong was so excited that he couldn't help waving to his family and shouting, "Mom, Xiaohu, look! I can also tread water!"

He had just learned how to "car", and because he was too excited, his hands unknowingly let go of the horizontal bar, and his feet suddenly became uncoordinated. His whole body was hung up on the horizontal bar, like a frog, attracting the attention of others. Everyone laughed.

"Xiaolong, be careful, don't step on the waterwheel." Granny Tang hurriedly stepped forward with a cane to remind her.

Tang Xiaolong supported the bar with both hands and regained his balance. He grinned and said, "This precious waterwheel is so convenient! Brother Daqiang, you are so amazing. You can actually make such a powerful thing!"

"Hey, brother Xiaolong, you have been playing for such a long time, you must be tired, come down and let me play too." Wang Mazi came over at some point and said with a flattering smile.

Li Zheng snorted coldly, "Didn't you just say that this is a useless thing? What? Now you like it again?"

Wang Mazi chuckled, "Uncle, didn't I just have blind eyes and not see Taishan? Don't be as knowledgeable as me."

Tang Xiaolong reluctantly got off the water cart and ordered, "King Zima, do you see clearly how Brother Daqiang stepped on it? Put one foot up first, and then..."

Before he could finish what he said, Wang Mazi waved his hand impatiently, "I know, I know, I heard and saw clearly just now, you don't need to say any more."

"You have to step on it gently and be careful not to damage it." Tang Xiaolong reminded kindly again.

"I will be careful."

Tang Xiaolong retreated to Li Zheng and listened to Li Zheng talking to Chen Changsheng and Mrs. Chen, "Mother Dafu, I have been thinking about it for a day and finally figured out the approximate order of the water trucks, so..."

Before he could say the next words, he heard a snap, which was the sound of wood breaking.
