Happy Farmer's Life

For simple porridge for dinner, Zhou Wen and Du Weiming drank brown rice porridge with some wild vegetables added for a change.I made white rice porridge for Wang Wu, served with pickles, and it was delicious.No way, today is indeed a tiring day.Du Weiming felt that he was still cooking pigeon soup after dinner.I can't help it, it's too hot this day, it's too much to sit behind the stove and burn a fire, I miss the natural gas so much, it's so convenient.

After dinner, Du Weiming prepared all the ingredients for the pigeon soup, and asked Zhou Wen to watch the fire. Two pots were burning at the same time, one for stewing soup and the other for boiling medicine.Wang Wu's injury has improved somewhat, but the decoction still needs to be continued.

How to replace the cement pipes, Du Weiming has not yet figured out.The soil under the pit is already very wet today, and it is estimated that if we dig further down, water will definitely come out.Du Weiming kept thinking at night, hey, if I knew I would travel to this ancient time, I should have studied civil engineering if I had to dig wells, and chemistry, except for the oil extraction last time, everything else would be useless use.

In the evening, Wang Wu stayed with Friday, and they used to share the room with each other, and now that Wang Wu's injury is better, he doesn't need to wait all night like he did at the beginning, and should see a doctor if something goes wrong.Du Weiming and Zhou Wen changed his medicine, drank soup, and chatted with him for a while.

"Master, do you think this well can be dug successfully?" Zhou Wen asked Du Weiming.

"Hey, to be honest, I'm not sure. I haven't made this thing before, and now I'm doing it entirely by imagination."

"Master, I'm really useless, I'm injured, I can't help you, and I need you to take care of me, I, I..." Wang Wu felt a little anxious when he heard it.

"Wang Wu, you are injured now. It is the best thing to heal your injury quickly. Zhou Wen and I will do the job of digging the well first. I am not sure, so I will try first. The biggest thing you have now The task is to heal the injury. Don’t worry about the rest.”

"Master, have you ever thought about leaving here?"

Du Weiming was silent. In fact, he had thought about leaving.But I can be said to be in a state of ecstasy in this place, isn't it the same wherever I go.I have stayed in this village for such a long time, and I have developed feelings. I just had some foundations. If I go to other places, I have to start from scratch. Can I do it myself?

"I haven't thought about it. Now I'm thinking about how to dig out the well. If it doesn't work, let's make another plan."

Wang Wu and Zhou Wen seemed a little upset when they saw Du Weiming. Zhou Wen cleverly changed the topic, and talked about Wang Wu's injury, the water fetching team, and so on. Take a rest and go back to your room.

After breakfast the next morning, after Wang Wu settled down, Du Weiming and Zhou Wen went to dig the well again.I heard that Du Weiming and the others were digging a well, and a few young men who were idle in the village came to help, but the hole was not big, and only one person could go down to dig it. Xiaowei helps.

"Brother Gouzi, is it okay to dig like this? Will there be water to drink after digging?"

"I don't know either, let's try."

"I really hope there will be water soon. My mother hasn't dared to drink water for a long time."

Xiaowei is one year younger than Du Weiming, and they are the only ones left in the family, living a very poor life.Xiaowei is very filial to his mother, but in this place that relies on farming for food, how could the two of them have a good life.In addition to farming, Xiaowei's mother usually earns a little money by helping to make clothes and mend things. This time there is a drought, and his family's life can be imagined.

Du Weiming hadn't figured out how to replace the cement pipes. He had to dig all the way to build a wall from the bottom. Unexpectedly, the hole collapsed when he dug about one and a half meters.It turns out that the soil below is relatively soft. If the side is not properly supported, the pit will collapse if it is dug down.

Du Weiming felt his heart was about to jump out, and Zhou Wen was still below.

"Zhou Wen, Zhou Wen, can you hear me?"

There was no sound, Du Weiming was frightened to death, and asked Xiaowei to go to the village to find someone. Du Weiming hurriedly pushed the soil away.While dialing, tears were about to flow out. Zhou Wen is also his relative. If there is something wrong, I really can't bear it.

"Zhou Wen, Zhou Wen, did you hear me? Would you answer one?"

Xiaowei went to inform people, and soon many villagers came. Everyone worked together and finally rescued Zhou Wen.When he saw Zhou Wen digging out of the mound, Du Weiming rushed up. Fortunately, there was not much dirt on Zhou Wen's face, so he lowered his head and buried it in front of his chest.The big guys carried Zhou Wen home, and Du Weiming let Zhou Wen sleep on his bed.

After pinching people, Zhou Wen finally woke up.The village head wanted to send someone to the town to ask for a doctor, but Zhou Wen refused.

"Thank you guys for your concern, I'm fine, just take a rest."

"Village chief, don't listen to him, it's better to invite a doctor back." Du Weiming insisted.

"Master, I'm really fine. If you don't believe me, I'll show you." Zhou Wen wanted to get out of bed to show that he was fine. Under his repeated insistence, Du Weiming agreed not to ask for a doctor for the time being.But if you still feel uncomfortable tomorrow, you must ask the doctor to take a look.

After the village chief explained a few words, the villagers dispersed.Du Weiming asked Zhou Wen to rest first, and hurried to get some hot water for Zhou Wen to drink.Wang Wu heard the movement next door and wanted to get up to take a look.There must be nothing good when so many people come to the house.

"Master, master, what happened?"

Du Weiming was startled, Wang Wu was still hurt.Quickly went to Wang Wu's house.

"Wang Wu, it's nothing serious. When I dug the well in the morning, I didn't pay attention and buried Zhou Wen. Everyone rescued him. He is resting now. There is nothing serious. You can rest at ease."

"Master, if I hadn't been injured, I would have been able to help you."

"Wang Wu, don't talk about it, Zhou Wen is fine, you can rest at ease and recuperate, and I will cook for you."

After Du Weiming said that, he left, and Wang Wu lay on the bed alone and blamed himself.It's fine if you don't get hurt, it's fine if you don't get hurt...

Fortunately, the well has just begun to be dug and is not deep.When Zhou Wen felt the soil coming down, he buried his head subconsciously. He was not seriously injured. Everyone rescued him in time. Zhou Wen felt relieved after lying on the bed for a while.

While Du Weiming was cooking, he regretted endlessly in his heart.I didn't know much about digging wells at all, so I just thought about digging wells, which hurt Zhou Wen.Du Weiming burned hot water and brought it to Zhou Wen to drink.

"Young master, don't worry, it's just that your hands are a little uncomfortable, just wait a while and it will be fine."

After taking a rough look, Zhou Wen's hands were hurt a bit, because he buried his head in front of his chest and protected his head with his hands. It is estimated that there should be nothing wrong with two days of recuperation.

"Zhou Wen, I'm all to blame for this matter. I asked you to dig a well because I didn't understand, and now you're hurting yourself."

"Master, don't say that, I have nothing to do, don't worry about it."

Du Weiming asked Zhou Wen to take a good rest, and went to cook by himself.There were two more pigeons that I bought last time. Du Weiming killed one and prepared to stew it for the two of them.There was no time to make two meals, so Du Weiming simply boiled more porridge.I took a few more eggs and prepared to make scrambled eggs.

The first digging of a well was overwhelmed by Zhou Wen's injury.The village head sent a few boys to fill in the hole.No one has mentioned the matter of digging a well for the time being.

Du Weiming has been taking care of Wang Wu and Zhou Wen for the past two days, and Zhou Wen's hands are fine.But Du Weiming still didn't dare to let him work, so he let him rest with Wang Wu.Everything at home is handled by myself.Regarding digging wells, Du Weiming still wants to try, but it is better to have someone guide him.

When the water fetching team came back, the villagers were very happy that they finally had water to drink.The village head asked the team to put all the water they brought back on the square for sacrifices, and every household sent someone to fetch it.Du Weiming's family is counted on the basis of 3 people, so they should only be given a jar of water.Considering that there were wounded in his family, the village chief gave him two jars of water.The second batch of teams is also ready to set off to fetch water.Now, when there is no other way, fetching water has become the only way.This time the big guy brought more than ten more jars.No one from Du Weiming's family participated. The village chief told the two wounded people and Du Weiming to participate in the next round.

Not long after the water fetching team set off, a big man came from the village, accompanied by the county magistrate.When the village chief heard the news, he took some people to the entrance of the village to meet him.People in the village heard that a big man was coming, and many people also ran out to watch the excitement.You must know that the county magistrate is not seen by ordinary people.

Du Weiming didn't care when he heard the news. Anyway, this big man has nothing to do with him.Let's talk about taking care of the two wounded at home.
