Chapter 248
Su Daqiang was fascinated by the sound.

As long as he could remember, there had been no well in this village.

The villagers have to go down the mountain to pick water, and they have to go down the mountain to water the crops in the fields.

The farmland in the mountains is too scattered.

After the mountain was opened, the cultivated area became larger and larger, so how could people water such a large area?In a good year with good weather and good weather, there will still be a harvest. If there is a severe drought, a year will really be wasted.

If he can dig the first well in the village, the villagers no longer have to go down the mountain to carry water, which will not only solve the problem of domestic water, but also make it easier for the production team to fetch water.

In Su Daqiang's mind, he had already imagined the scene where the villagers surrounded him and kept praising and giving thumbs up.

Just as the corners of his lips raised into a smile, he hurriedly shook his head, and asked Yao Hua suspiciously, "Huahua, you just said that the underground running water is in our yard? Are you fooling me and making fun of me?" Bar?"

"Uncle Su, do you think I'm so boring?"

Thinking that Yao Hua was angry, Su Daqiang hurriedly said, "Oh, no, I didn't mean that!"

He then explained his doubts, "Well, I'm just a little puzzled. Our village has hired a lot of people to dig wells over the years, but no matter how they dig, they can't dig wells. Even the village head has given up. What are you doing? Can you be so sure that a well can be dug outside the kitchen in our house?"

"On the first day Jin Bao returned to the countryside, she was thirsty and wanted to drink water. Grandma Su went to the kitchen to fill her with water, but there was no water in the water tank. She was planning to go down the mountain to pick it up by herself. Water came out."

Su Daqiang was surprised when he heard that, "Such a thing actually happened?"

Yao Hua nodded and said, "Although I didn't see it with my own eyes, it's impossible for Grandma Su to lie. Besides, Jin Bao said that the water is very sweet, which is different from the kind of water in the river that is mixed with the smell of earth."

He was worried that Uncle Su would not believe him, so he wanted to say more, but Su Daqiang was so excited that he said, "Oh, Huahua, why didn't you tell me sooner? It's been several months!"

"Digging a well is a very hard job. Besides, water coming out of the ground is too bizarre. I'm afraid you won't believe it. Grandpa and Grandma Su think so too, so they haven't mentioned it again. I guess They've all forgotten."

"What's so weird? Jinbao wants to drink water, so sweet well water comes out of the ground for her to drink. How normal is that?"

After saying this, before Yao Hua could react, Su Daqiang rushed home eagerly.

"Father, mother, you really are too, why didn't you tell me such an important matter? Oops!"

Everyone in the room was stunned. Zhang Guilan thought her husband was going to quarrel with her parents-in-law, so she hurriedly stood up and stopped him, "What are you doing? Just now, Dad asked you to go to the production team for your own good. Why are you so stubborn?"

"It's not about the production team, it's about the well..."

"What? What well?"

"It's the water coming out of the kitchen that can dig a well!"

Su Daqiang patted his thigh, "Mother, if you told me, I would have already dug."

Finally understanding what he was talking about, the confusion on his mother's face disappeared, "Oh, you said that?"

Zhang Guilan looked at her husband, then at her mother-in-law, with a masked look on her face.

Yao Hua, who returned to the room after the next step, had to explain again.

After hearing what he said, Zhang Guilan also became excited, "If our family really dug a well, wouldn't we be able to drink as much water as we want? Let alone drinking water, we can take a bath every day!"

Her sons jumped up when they heard it, "Wow! Our house is going to have a well!"

"Mom, I want to take a bath every day and play with Jin Bao cleanly." Er Gouzi said while holding his mother's hand.

"Don't have too much hope for things that don't come out of the horoscope," Li Xiu'e said hastily, "Although I saw water that night, I only saw it once, and I never saw it again."

She then continued: "The reason why I didn't say anything was because I was worried that there would be no joy in the end. If I can't dig out the water, wouldn't my work be in vain?"

"Yeah, our village hasn't dug a well for so many years..."

Before Su Changzhu could finish speaking, his eldest son interrupted and said, "Try it! If you can't dig it out, there is no loss! I usually stay at home, either going down the mountain to fetch water or going up the mountain to pick wild vegetables. It's nothing important. What do you guys do?" Why don't you let me dig it?"

"You also said that you are the person who is most afraid of work. It will take at least ten days and a half months to dig a well, and the deep well may last for a month or two. If there is no water at that time, you will definitely complain about me and you. Damn angry."

Li Xiu'e nodded and said: "If your fifth younger brother is idle at home, we will definitely let him dig it. He is so busy all day long, and you are afraid of getting tired. We are too old to bear children's complaints."

Su Daqiang's face flushed red all the way to the base of his neck.

He opened his mouth to refute, but what he had done appeared in his mind, and he felt very ashamed.

After leaving the production team, he has indeed become more and more lazy these years, especially before Jinbao came back, he didn't even bother to carry water, and he had to be scolded before he dawdled and reluctantly went down to carry water.

He received a letter from the third brother and learned that when his mother returned home, he was supposed to pick up her and Jin Bao at the county train station, but he felt that the journey was too long and tiring, so he pretended to have a stomachache and asked the fifth brother to pick him up.

"Snapped!"

Su Daqiang slapped himself.

Everyone was taken aback by his sudden move.

Seeing that he raised his hand and wanted to slap herself again, Li Xiu'e quickly stepped forward and grabbed his hand, "What are you doing? Are you crazy? Who are you trying to scare to death?"

"It's me who is not filial as a son. I was jealous of my father's kindness to the fifth child just now. I am really..." Su Daqiang said guiltily, "I really deserve to be beaten! Mom, don't stop me, let me wake myself up."

Seeing him like this, Su Changzhu felt uncomfortable and angry, and scolded: "You bastard, how old are you, the father of three children, why are you still acting like a child?
Just now you had the cheek to say that I was good to the fifth child, obviously I was the best to you when I was young, I dug up the kohlrabi root several times, it was not enough to share with your younger brothers, and secretly stuffed it for you to eat alone. "

After hearing this, Li Xiu'e was also moved with emotion, and sighed, "Daqiang, you are the first child of me and your father. To be honest, we have the deepest affection for you! I have always counted on you to take care of the two of us.

You will become like this, in fact, we are used to it!It's because we didn't educate you well. "

"Mother, don't say that, it has nothing to do with you guys, just like what dad said, I'm an old man, and I always want to be a turtle when I encounter problems, but I really hate myself for being like this..."

Speaking of this, Su Daqiang clenched his fists tightly, as if he had finally made up his mind, and suppressed his fear and resistance to the production team in his heart, and said: "After I dig the well, I will go to work in the production team, and I will no longer be a worker at home. Useless!"

Unexpectedly, he would voluntarily say to go to the production team, and everyone in the room was very surprised.

The astonishment in Zhang Guilan's eyes gradually turned into surprise, and finally the joy turned into tears.

Tears were like a river breaking its embankment, she hurriedly covered her face and ran out.

"Ah! What's the matter with your daughter-in-law?"

"Don't stand there stupidly, hurry up and go out and ask!"

After hearing what his parents said, Su Daqiang came to his senses and hurriedly chased him out.
