A man travels through time and becomes a widow, only wanting to pursue a career
Chapter 74 The ditch is dug
Chen Changsheng has not been to the fields in the past three days, and he does not know the progress there.
When she arrived, she saw a waist-deep ditch extending from the mouth of the mountain spring to the end of the field, extending horizontally into the rice field, almost reaching the door of her house.
The canal was crowded with people, and there were even more people standing on the field ridges. All the men and women who had finished work early came, and there were even children in their eighties and nineties.
Everyone brought tools, including shovels, hoes, and even wooden sticks and fire sticks. They brought everything they could dig.
Everyone took advantage of every opportunity to find places to dig and transport mud. It was so lively.
Even Mrs. Chen thrust the shovel straight in and brought up half a shovelful of soil.
Half an hour later, there were sounds from the ditch.
"Li Zheng, I'm done digging!"
"I'm done digging too!"
"Uncle Li Zheng, I've already dug it here!"
Hundreds of people were enthusiastic and worked hard.
"Uncle Li Zheng, there is only one last step left! Come on!" Tang Xiaolong stood on the last small piece of land in front of the mountain spring mouth, his voice was loud and clear.
Chen Lizheng walked away from the crowd, took the hoe from Tang Xiaolong's hand, and stood in front of everyone.
There is only one last key left, once the hoe is dug, the canal will be open.
Li Zheng held the hoe tightly with both hands, raised it with all his strength, and then dug down hard, until the soil was dug up.
The water from the mouth of the mountain spring gushes out immediately, rushes down the ditch, and rushes into the ditch beside the field.
Everyone cheered and jumped for joy.
After working hard for so long, he finally succeeded in digging.
Chen Lizheng was also very excited. He couldn't remember how many years he hadn't seen this cheering scene. This was the first thing that Chenjiacun did collectively.
He secretly wiped the tears from his eyes and said in a loud voice, "We can start irrigating tomorrow, and we will build a reservoir in a few days. This year we will definitely have a good harvest!"
The water in the ditch gradually filled up, and the setting sun reflected on the water, making it sparkling.
Everyone's efforts in the past few days have been in vain, and the crowd gradually dispersed.
After working hard for three days, the men carried their tools and went home to rest, while the women prepared to cook dinner and discuss irrigation tomorrow.
Li Zheng happily walked towards Chen Changsheng and Mrs. Chen, "Auntie, we really succeeded in digging this canal!" He looked at Chen Changsheng again, "The plan that your rich daughter-in-law has come up with is really good. Ah, this is a great achievement!"
Mrs. Chen said modestly, "Brother Chen, I would say you are the better organizer. Without your intervention, would the people in the village be willing to work?"
Old Mrs. Chen said polite words, but in her heart she was extremely satisfied with this wealthy daughter-in-law, and even praised her for her integrity.
Chen Changsheng also added with a smile, "I came up with an idea, but I didn't do much. The people in our village were really helpful. They dug it successfully in three days. Uncle, what's the next step? Do you have to try the waterwheel?"
"Yes, but not today. I went to Ma Daqiang's house in the afternoon, and he is still working on it. I'm afraid it will be difficult to test the car today." Li Zheng took a puff of dry cigarette.
Chen Changsheng nodded. She had studied the keel waterwheel for a long time before drawing it. For someone like Ma Daqiang who had never seen the prototype, it would probably take even longer to understand.
However, the ditch was dug successfully, which is a great joy. I can have a good sleep today.
The villagers left in a hurry. Chen Changsheng still had something to say to Old Mrs. Chen. She pulled Old Mrs. Chen's sleeve and motioned for the old lady to walk slower.
Mrs. Chen handed the shovel in her hand to her second son and asked the second and third sons to take the younger ones home first, while she paced slowly behind with the wealthy daughter-in-law.
Old Mrs. Chen probably guessed what Chen Changsheng wanted to say to her. She was a straight-tempered person, so she simply said first, "My wife, are you coming back from the city this afternoon? The boss in the city took a fancy to the baskets my old lady made. ?"
She was eager to know how good her craft was.
The two of them just walked outside Chen Changsheng's courtyard at the west entrance of the village, and Chen Changsheng pulled Old Mrs. Chen inside to sit down.
Mrs. Chen hasn't been here for a long time.
When several children saw Mrs. Chen coming suddenly, they all shouted "milk" sensibly.
Chen Erlu went to the house and brought two small stools out. Then he went to tidy up the five-minute vegetable patch in the front yard and carefully pulled out all the new weeds that sprouted today.
Chen Dafu went to the stove and poured two bowls of water out. He handed one bowl to Chen Changsheng and the other to Mrs. Chen. Dafu knew that his mother and his grandma were talking about business, so he consciously walked away to cook brown rice on the stove.
Mrs. Chen hadn't been to Dafang for a long time and found that there seemed to be some changes from before.
She saw that eggplants and winter melons seemed to be planted in the five-cent field, with green sprouts appearing on them, and Erlu was taking care of them in an orderly manner.
"Cuckoo", the little chicken's voice also reached Mrs. Chen's ears.
I saw Chen Sanshou running over with a large pile of freshly cut grass, and mumbling, "Come, come. I know you've been hungry all day and are anxious. Didn't I just cook for you? Come on, come on." Come on, eat more, everyone, eat more."
Sanshou mixed the chopped grass with nutrient water and sprinkled it evenly into the chicken coop. The chickens immediately jumped out and ate the chopped grass, which was very lively.
Old Mrs. Chen thought to herself, "Oh, there are chickens raised in this big house." 】
She counted them, and there were quite a few of them. There were dozens of them.
Old Mrs. Chen looked towards her eldest daughter-in-law, and Chen Changsheng happened to blink back at her.
"Your yard is pretty well done, it looks decent." Old Mrs. Chen commented.
Chen Changsheng smiled and said, "Dafu and his children are responsible for taking care of it. I just gave some pointers. There is also a new plot of land in the backyard. Do you want to take a look?"
"No, let's continue talking about business."
Chen Changsheng took out a silver ingot from his sleeve with a smile, "Mom, your Tenglan City master was satisfied and gave you so much money. The master also said..."
"Oh!"
Before Chen Changsheng could finish speaking, Mrs. Chen exclaimed, her breathing suddenly became rapid, and her body became a little unsteady.
Chen Changsheng quickly threw the silver ingot back into his pocket, quickly held Old Mrs. Chen's arm and sat down.
"My eldest daughter-in-law, you...what did you just hold in your hand?" Mrs. Chen rubbed her eyes. She must have been suffering from presbyopia.
Chen Changsheng took out another piece of silver and handed it to Mrs. Chen, smiling and saying, "It's a silver ingot given by the master in the city, a total of ten taels."
Mrs. Chen had never seen so much money before. She reached out with a trembling hand, picked it up, put it in her mouth and took a bite. She shouted excitedly, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, it's silver. It really is silver! How much did you just say?"
"Twelve!"
"Oh, my God, Shiliang! It's a kind-hearted master. My old lady wants to pay homage to him and ask God to let him live a long life and have many children."
Mrs. Chen never thought she would see so much money in this life. Is she going to make a fortune when she gets old?
