Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

After returning from the fields, Zheng Xiaoman went straight to the open space in the backyard of the workshop.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw Carpenter Li assembling a waterwheel.

Carpenter Wang from the village was also helping. He was called by Zheng Xiaoman a few days ago. Two carpenters working together will always be faster than one.

Zheng Xiaoman took a look and thought that what they were assembling now should be the water wheel part.

The two of them were so focused on their work that they didn't even notice Zheng Xiaoman coming in.

Zheng Xiaoman didn't say anything, just stood aside and watched the two people's actions.

After a long while, when Carpenter Li got up to look for something, he found Zheng Xiaoman standing beside him.

"Oh, it's the young lady coming. When did you come?"

Carpenter Wang raised his head when he heard the voice. He looked at Zheng Xiaoman with a smile, "Little Xiaoman, come here."

Zheng Xiaoman smiled and greeted the two people, "Uncle Li, how is our waterwheel going?"

Carpenter Li said with a smile: "It's almost done. Today we can assemble the waterwheel. Tomorrow we can transport the waterwheel to the river and try it out in the water."

Zheng Xiaoman didn't expect that the water truck would be able to start watering tomorrow. She said in surprise, "That's great. These days, everyone has to go to the river to fetch water for irrigation. If the water truck can be used, it will save a lot of trouble."

Carpenter Wang was also very happy. His family also had land. If the waterwheel was built, it would benefit the whole village.

Especially since this waterwheel was made by myself, the feeling is even more different.

He looked at Zheng Xiaoman with eyes full of praise.

"Xiao Man, you are smart and can come up with such a good idea. When the waterwheel is ready for use, everyone in the village will thank you."

Zheng Xiaoman waved his hands quickly, "Uncle Wang, this is not my idea, I don't have such great ability.

I had seen other people do this in a book before, and that’s when I thought, could we make it ourselves?”

Carpenter Wang laughed and said, "Anyway, we can never think of this method. It's better to study. You will know more after reading.

When my boy grows up, I will send him to school."

Carpenter Li was also listening with a smile, "That's right, people who have studied are different from those who haven't."

Zheng Xiaoman chatted with the two of them for a few more minutes and then stopped disturbing them from working.

In the evening, Carpenter Li came over and said that the waterwheel was ready.

Zheng Xiaoman immediately took her grandfather and father to see the newly built waterwheel. On the way, she explained the function of the waterwheel to the two of them.

Old Man Zheng and Zheng Dashan were stunned when they heard this. Is there really something that can water the fields by itself?

The three men came to the back of the workshop and saw a waterwheel with a diameter of about two meters standing there.

Because there were only two of them, they made a small one to try first.

Once we are sure that the waterwheel is operating properly, we can hire more people and make two larger waterwheels.

Zheng Dashan looked at the big thing in front of him and reached up to touch it. "Xiaoman, if you put this thing in the water, can it draw water out by itself?"

Zheng Xiaoman nodded. "In principle, this is the case. As long as the river water keeps flowing, the waterwheel can keep turning and then lift water from the river."

Old Man Zheng also walked towards the waterwheel excitedly, "My granddaughter, if this thing can really be used, then you have really done a great thing for the village."

"My dear grandpa, I don't think as much as you think. I just see how hard it is for my dad to get up early every day to fetch water for the fields.

But the water truck has not been put into the water yet. We need to wait until tomorrow to test it out. If there is anything that is not suitable, we need to adjust it further. "

Old Man Zheng smiled with relief, "Okay, Grandpa believes in you, there will be no problem with this water truck."

Zheng Dashan said to his father, "I think we should talk to the village chief about this. We need to find someone to help put the water truck into the water tomorrow."

Old Man Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, then you go and tell them, and we'll pull the water truck over tomorrow."

Carpenter Li and Carpenter Wang were rubbing their hands nervously. They were both nervous and excited when they heard that the water truck would be put into the water for testing tomorrow.

This night, the two of them were destined to suffer from insomnia.

After listening to Zheng Dashan's description of the function of the waterwheel, Wang Dehai slapped his thigh excitedly and said, "Dashan, if the waterwheel you mentioned can really be used, it would be a great thing."

These days they have been fetching water to irrigate the fields every day, and their bodies really can't take it anymore.

It's only August now. If they have to wait until the autumn harvest in October, I think they will all be exhausted.

Zheng Dashan gave him a heads-up first, "No one has tried this water truck yet. If it doesn't work tomorrow, don't be disappointed."

Wang Dehai waved his hands quickly, "Of course not, you are all thinking about the whole village, at worst we can just carry water every day like we do now.

Don't worry, the people in our village won't have that kind of thought."

Zheng Dashan then felt a little relieved. He was afraid that his daughter was doing good things, but in the end not only would she fail, but she would also be blamed.

The night passed in everyone's anticipation. Early the next morning, the village chief brought several strong men from the village to the Zheng family.

Zheng Dashan and Old Man Zheng also got up early and went to the workshop. When they saw the waterwheel, they curiously touched it.

But after just one or two touches, the village chief stopped him, "Enough, enough, you guys are so ruthless, what if you damage it again?

Hurry up and get the cart, let's transport the things to the river first."

"Hey, yes, let's get to work."

Everyone agreed with a smile, and under the command of Carpenter Li, they lifted the divided waterwheel onto the ox cart and transported it to the river one by one.

When the villagers saw this big guy, they all looked up curiously.

"Village Chief, what are you guys pulling?"

It is still unknown whether it can be used, and Wang Dehai doesn’t want to say it now.

"Why are you asking so many questions? It has nothing to do with you anyway, just do what you need to do."

But the more he kept silent, the more curious everyone became.

Finally, they stopped watering the fields and everyone followed the ox cart to the river.

Carpenter Li asked everyone to unload their things, and he and Carpenter Wang began to assemble the waterwheel.

The finished waterwheel was big and heavy, and the young men nearby all went up to help.

After the waterwheel was assembled, everyone lifted the waterwheel into the river together.

Carpenter Li followed Zheng Xiaoman's instructions and installed the water wheel at a position just above the bottom scraper.

"Right here, right, right here. Fix the waterwheel here."

After the waterwheel was placed, everyone used ropes to secure it.

The river water rushed down from upstream, and the waterwheel slowly turned along with the flow of the river.

"It's moving. Look, the big guy is moving."

Someone saw the waterwheel turning by itself and couldn't help but exclaim.

Zheng Dashan and the village chief also looked delighted. This waterwheel can actually move by itself.

Carpenter Li then directed everyone to quickly build the sink.

He first placed a bucket under the sink, and waited for the basin above to pour water into the sink and then flow into the bucket along the sink.

As long as the water flows in, it means that their waterwheel is successful.
