I traveled through time, this is unscientific

Chapter 22 So I traveled through time after all?

From the short two days she had been here, it seemed that there was no idle person in this village.

It’s not like in many rural areas nowadays, where the land is barren and young and middle-aged people have to go out to work to earn money.

Some of the villagers who stayed behind were idle and their main activity was gambling.

Only some elderly people are still farming, and they only grow some vegetables, enough for their own consumption.

In Lai'an Village where she is now, everyone, whether adults or children, is busy.

The crops in the fields are growing lushly and there are no weeds on the ridges, which shows that the farmers here are really dedicated to tending to the crops.

This prosperous scene is completely different from those dying rural areas that have no vitality at all.

She had overheard these past two days that the wheat in the fields was growing well, but there was a lack of water. The village chief had been leading the villagers to look for water, and now they had decided on a place and were digging a well.

But generally speaking, shouldn’t drought in such land be reported?

The issues concerning agriculture, rural areas and farmers concern millions of households. Experts will be sent from above to check on them, and then we will follow the process to deal with them accordingly.

Didn't Old Zhou also say that the local authorities need to vigorously develop this place and set up models? Now is a good opportunity.

Being able to effectively solve the livelihood problems of the people is a definite political achievement!

The political achievements are clearly visible here, and it is impossible not to see them. In other words, who is playing a big game here?

Looking at the pastoral scene in the distance, Zhou Xiaozhou thought a lot.

She went over in her mind everything that had happened since she came here, and her doubts about this place grew deeper and deeper.

However, Village Chief Wu insisted that this was Lai'an Village, and she couldn't say otherwise.

Besides, although she seems to be able to move around the village, isn't it also due to the contribution of Wu Sanmei, the human crutch?

No, Zhou Xiaozhou suddenly remembered that Old Zhou said the principal of the village primary school went to the county to file a complaint and said that she did not come.

But she was standing here, already firmly on the job.

No, she had to talk to the village chief about this matter. How could she, Zhou Xiaozhou, ruin her reputation?

Open your eyes and tell lies.

Zhou Xiaozhou led a group of children and set out to the fields in a mighty procession.

Seeing a lot of Qingming vegetables along the way, she told the children that these wild vegetables could also be eaten.

The children looked down on it and said, "Master Zhou, this is Artemisia selengensis. It tastes better when it's young. Now it's blooming and it's old."

Yes, looking at the Qingming vegetables covered with small yellow flowers, Zhou Xiaozhou thought, didn’t Ms. Liu say that Qingming vegetables taste better only when they bloom?

I also thought that it might be because of the local customs, and people in this place don’t eat the Qingming vegetables that have bloomed.

But I heard a child muttering, "My pigs don't like to eat this either."

Zhou Xiaozhou, who was eager to show off his wilderness survival skills, suffered great harm.

Forget it, why should she compete with the kids in the village on this? If she has the ability, just compete in writing.

snort!

All the way from the village halfway up the mountain to the fields below, although it looks not far away and those hardworking people are there, it still takes some time to walk.

Zhou Xiaozhou explained many edible things they saw along the way, such as toon, prickly ash, and bracken.

Even the konjac buried in the soil, she told him everything she knew.

The children also told her that they had already eaten them.

After a while, there will be a lot of wild fruits to eat, and I will pick them for her then.

Zhou Xiaozhou, who had been educated in reverse science, finally walked to the place where the well was dug with a lot of anger.

There were many people in the field, led by Old Wu. The two wells were not far apart, both in low-lying areas near a creek.

Zhou Xiaozhou thought that the wisdom of farmers should not be underestimated. They had no modern scientific equipment and relied entirely on their feelings. They didn't even know whether water could be produced successfully in the place they located.

But these low-lying areas do look like they could produce water.

The men digging the well were working hard.

The hoe was working down, down, again and again, and the man swinging the hoe seemed to have endless energy.

Sand and gravel were transported up there in baskets, and soon they turned into slightly moist soil.

The children they brought were not like Zhou Xiaozhou who just stood there and watched with their hands folded. They quickly found where their parents were and helped with the work.

Lin Dayou and Li Jinniu each occupied a pit and competed in digging a well. It seemed that they had dug to about the same extent, and the mud underneath was becoming increasingly thinner and thicker.

But after all, it is strenuous work. After working for a long time, people will feel very tired and need to take a break from time to time.

"Dayou, what's the situation over there?" Li Jinniu half leaned against the deep pit that had been dug.

He was really exhausted and was wiping the sweat off his face with a towel.

Now his tall and strong son Li Dahu is taking over his job.

Da Hu also felt sorry for his father. He had been digging since dawn in the morning. He went back to eat and rest for a while at noon, and then continued digging non-stop again.

At least the son took his place, so his father can finally take a breath.

Li Jinniu's daughter-in-law Lin has been helping to transport sand and soil. In short, their whole family is here.

Of course, their family alone could not dig so fast. There were also several strong men in the village who were sweating profusely in the pit.

Lin Dayou is a capable man. While participating in the competition to dig a big hole, he also takes time out at noon to go back and pay his child a visit to a teacher.

Now that the teachers bring their children to watch him work, he has to work even harder.

He threw the wet soil he had dug up fiercely, and then slowly replied, "We just saw Mercury, Uncle Taurus. We can't compare to you. It must be that the place the village chief pointed out is not as good as the place Uncle Man found."

Old Wu had been squatting beside the big pit that Lin Dayou had dug. He heard their laughter and chatter, but he refused to take the blame: "You can't blame me. The work assigned by your wife is more important than mine."

Everyone who was working nearby burst into laughter.

Dayou's wife was also there, and her face turned red with embarrassment.

Zhou Xiaozhou only saw these villagers striving for a goal, and their high morale inspired everyone present.

I feel like I would be guilty if I didn't help out with some work.

Fortunately, she did not forget the original purpose of coming here, and she scolded the village chief: "Village chief, when will your principal come back? I have already started the class. You can't go to the county to complain again!"

Zhou Xiaozhou was quite resentful. She had clearly reported in, but was still scolded by Old Zhou.

It’s just that the people here don’t do things in an honest way. Didn’t the village chief say that they would report it to the county?

Could it be that there was a delay due to communication problems?

The internet in this place is really bad.

Old Wu looked at Zhou Xiaozhou and thought, what a fool this girl is. How can her brain be good one moment and bad the next? Is she really a fool?
