Siheyuan starts a 100,000-acre farm

Qin's father cried heartbreakingly and was in great grief. However, at this moment, Qin's father suddenly stopped crying, turned around and slapped Qin Jianhua beside him, and angrily scolded:

"Why are you crying? What's the point of crying? Your brother is not dead yet, he is just unconscious! Go get a basin of cold water!..."

After all, Qin's father is older than Qin Jianhua and has experienced more things.

After all, he has eaten so many more meals, walked so many more roads, met so many more people, encountered so many more things, and tasted so much salt. These are not experienced in vain.

At this moment, Qin's father noticed that Qin Jianjun's chest was still rising and falling slightly and he had not completely stopped breathing.

So he quickly turned around and slapped Qin Jianhua hard, and angrily scolded him: "You are such a loser!"

There was actually a reason why Father Qin was so angry. On the one hand, as a father, he would inevitably feel a little embarrassed and ashamed to cry in front of his children;

On the other hand, as soon as Qin Jianhua entered the room, he hugged Qin Jianjun and burst into tears, claiming that his brother had passed away. Such words really sounded unlucky and ominous.

Qin Jianhua was suddenly slapped in the face and became much smarter. He immediately stood up, walked quickly to the well, picked up the bucket and prepared to fetch water.

In those days, there was no running water pipe in homes. Most households relied on hand-pumped wells or dug a well in the yard for water. The water they drank in daily life was basically underground well water.

Fortunately, the environment at that time was relatively pure, with rare industrial pollution and even pesticide pollution. Because of this, the groundwater resources remained quite pure and clear.

Perhaps it is a little better than the tap water in the future society. Although there are many bitter wells in the capital, the water from ordinary wells does taste better than tap water and has less odor.

However, it cannot be ignored that there may be some parasites in it. At that time, almost everyone who drank raw water directly would have parasites in their stomachs, especially children.

To solve this problem, people need to take anthelmintics, which are similar to sugar pills that expel the parasites from the body.

But this is also quite scary. The parasites excreted by some children are as thick as a baby's little finger, and their length can even reach an astonishing 40 to 50 centimeters. Their color is frighteningly pale.

It is not known whether it was related to drinking groundwater, but in that era, there were indeed many people with worms in their stomachs, and everyone had experienced this situation to a greater or lesser extent.

Once a child complains of stomachache, don't think too much. First, give him a sugar pill. Most likely, it is because there are worms in the stomach. After all, children drink more raw water.

After all, groundwater is really cool! Especially in the hot summer, just a sip will make you feel an indescribable sense of comfort all over your body, as if all the pores in your body are open, making you feel extremely comfortable.

However, it is a bit inconvenient to take a bath in this freezing underground water. After all, taking a bath in cold water is not as comfortable as you might imagine, so in this era, men usually prefer to go directly to the river to take a bath;

In contrast, women are more particular and meticulous. Most of them will choose to fill a basin with water in advance at night or early in the morning.

After being exposed to the sun for a whole day, the temperature of this basin of water has become just right, warm and pleasant, making it perfect for bathing and washing!

After taking a bath, the women would fill another basin of water and place it in the original place, waiting to continue to be baptized by the sun the next day, and repeat this cycle over and over again.

In later film and television works, we often see such scenes: those naughty children always like to sneak up and peek at the young widows in the village taking a bath.

The reason why these naughty kids have such an opportunity, or why the young widow chose to take a bath in the yard, is actually very simple...

The basin of water was so heavy! If there was a man in the house, he would definitely carry the basin of water into the house to wash.

The young widow had no man in her house, so she could only take a bath in the yard, which gave the naughty child the opportunity to lie in the corner and peek.

Therefore, when Qin Jianjun arrived at the well, before he had time to fetch water, he saw a large basin of water there. Without thinking, he picked up the ladle and scooped up a ladle of water.

You know, in this special era, every item has a unique mark of the times and value. Since industrial products are scarce and expensive, the ladles people use at home are no exception.

Most of these ladles are made of large gourds. Their shape is not the traditional one that is thick at both ends and thin in the middle. Instead, they are a large oval, quite similar to a pear, and are the same size as ordinary ladles.

When the gourd is fully mature, its shell becomes very hard, and people can simply pick the gourd and split it in two to make two useful ladles.

What about the seeds inside the gourd? They can still be sown back into the ground, and in the next year, they will produce many new gourds.

At this point, I think everyone has understood why the use of watering cans is so popular in this era! After all, it does not cost any money, and only requires a small seed.

Moreover, this seed can not only produce more gourds, but most importantly, each gourd contains many seeds. This gourd can not only be used as a water scoop, but can also be eaten.

Cut into slices and stir-fry, it is also a rare delicacy. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. Anyway, there are plenty of places in this era. These things can be grown in corners, yards, and fields.

However, this kind of water scoop also has its disadvantages. After all, it is a native plant. It may be better when it is new, but it will inevitably become moldy and hairy over time.

Therefore, it needs to be exposed to the sun frequently, but its durability is similar to that of a normal iron or plastic ladle. In the history of the ladles,

Basically, it evolved from gourd ladles to iron ladles, and then to the plastic ladles of later generations. The iron ladles are hand-made by craftsmen and will rust over time. Sometimes they are even less durable than plastic ladles.
