My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

Shopkeeper Lin didn't speak, but was stunned by the news.

He just wanted to ask how the county is doing now?Unexpectedly, he got such an astonishing news, and immediately burst into ecstatic laughter.

"Hahahaha, God has eyes! God has eyes!"

As he spoke, shopkeeper Lin burst into tears, crying and laughing: "My son, did you see that? They all went down to accompany you."

Grandma Lin, who heard the news, immediately covered her face and sobbed.

Ning Changrong didn't bother them, the two of them cried for a while, and then smiled, this time it was a smile of relief.

"Evergreen, from now on my old life belongs to our Taoyuan Village."

I think he has worked hard for most of his life to barely support the inn, and he will be gone once he encounters a bandit. Not only the inn will be gone, but his only son will also be gone. Fortunately, there are three grandsons with him, otherwise he I really want to go like this.

"Now my only hope is to watch my three grandsons grow up safely."

"Don't worry, shopkeeper Lin, our Taoyuan village will definitely get better and better."

"What's the shopkeeper? I'm just a penniless old man now." Shopkeeper Lin smiled wryly.

"Uncle Lin, from now on, your family can live here in peace and stability."

……

"Grandma! We're back!" Wang Xiujuan heard her granddaughter's loud voice from a long distance away.

"Are you back? Why have you been away for so long?" Wang Xiaojuan walked out of the field wearing a bamboo hat.

Now they have reclaimed several paddy fields and have begun to dig water canals to divert water.

"Isn't this too far away? We went to see the execution today."

Wang Xiujuan frowned after hearing this, and wanted to say that she should watch less bloody ones in the future, but after looking at their current situation, she finally didn't say anything.

"Grandma, where are you going now?" Ning Qingxi took Wang Xiujuan's arm.

Speaking of this, Wang Xiujuan looked happy, "If it weren't for the lack of manpower, this paddy field would have been completed long ago, but our wheat has already been planted." She still clearly distinguishes the priorities, Wang Xiujuan cultivated the land first, Planted the wheat, and then slowly adjusted the paddy fields.

Wang Xiujuan took Ning Qingxi's hand and led her to the field where the canal was being dug.

"Look, this is the canal we are digging. In a few days, after the canal is dug, the water from the creek will be diverted to the field here. Once the field is soaked, rice can be planted. .”

"However, we have to wait until next year. Now that there are not enough people, such a delay is too late. The ancient millet should not be able to grow three seasons. If we were in the south, we could grow rice for two seasons, but now we are in the north. "

"We can't grow rice for the time being, but this paddy field can also be repaired and temporarily used to store fish. It's not troublesome to catch the fish in the creek every time. If you catch too much and can't finish it, you can put it in this paddy field. It can be kept."

"Maybe next year we can do fish and rice farming."

Ning Qingxi asked suspiciously: "Can't it be made into dried fish?"

"You silly girl, if you make dried fish, you must have salt. Now that salt is so expensive, who would be willing to use so much salt to make dried salted fish? I feel distressed if I use more salt for my own food."

Ning Qingxi said again: "Isn't it okay to not use salt? Let it dry in the sun."

Wang Xiujuan explained, "It would be fine to fish in the sea. The sea itself is salty. Here we are in a stream. Freshwater fish are dried. If we don't use salt, we have to expose them to the sun. There is no sun in our mountains. It’s so big, and it’s almost October now, the sunlight is not strong enough, and the sun is not drying enough, then the fish will stink.”

Ning Qingxi looked at her grandma's tanned face distressedly, "Then when will this creek be dug?" In order to divert part of the water from the stream to the fields, but also to prevent the banks beside the stream from collapsing, Their paddy field is not close to the creek.

This is said to be stream water, but in fact, the higher you go, the greater the water flow, otherwise there would be no extra water flow into the paddy fields.

"Don't be in a hurry right now, just work slowly, and I guess it will be done in a month."

The most urgent thing right now is to build the city and build houses. Their canal can be done slowly by a few women. Although it is a bit hard and tiring, it is all for themselves, and no one is too tired.

They have indeed raised a group of rabbits, and the rabbits live in litters. There will be no shortage of meat in winter, but it is also good to have one more fish to improve life.

Ning Qingxi looked regretful, "It's a pity that my egg hatching greenhouse failed, and I have to improve it, otherwise we can eat eggs directly without fish."

Wang Xiujuan patted her granddaughter's little hand holding her arm, "This canal will have to be dug sooner or later, otherwise how will we grow rice next year? Besides, we can't do the building of the city wall. Digging the canal is still possible. We can't push all the work to them."

Ning Qingxi was silent for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, "Yes! Grandma! I can make a waterwheel! Then we will use the waterwheel to divert water to irrigate the paddy fields, so there is no need to dig ditches!"

Wang Xiujuan is not clear about this, "Can this be done?"

"I'm not sure, grandma, you wait for me to go back and study, if possible, you don't have to work so hard!"

After finishing speaking, Ning Qingxi ran towards the house, and Wang Xiujuan kept telling her to slow down, slow down.

But how could Ning Qingxi slow down?I can't wait to get home right away, and quickly check the encyclopedia in my mind to see if there are any drawings of the waterwheel.

After hiding in the room and watching for a while, Ning Qingxi finally found the blueprint of the waterwheel.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Wang Xiujuan also walked in.

"How is it, Xixi, have you found it?" She doesn't want to do such a heavy job, isn't this forced by life?

Ning Qingxi burst into laughter suddenly, "I found it, I found it! Grandma! You don't have to work so hard!"

Wang Xiujuan patted her granddaughter's shoulder lightly, "You are so frightening to death."

Then he said cheerfully, "Is this easy to make?"

"As long as we have the blueprints, it's not that difficult. Let's put the water truck at the uppermost stream of the creek, where there is a lot of water, and then the water can be sent to the paddy field along the water tank of the water truck!"

Wang Xiujuan listened to her granddaughter's description, and all the wrinkles on her smiling face were piled up in one place, "If it can be done, then your grandma will be liberated. We dig ditches here and there. Digging canals is exhausting."

"Grandma, let me know in advance if you have anything to do in the future. I'll see if there are any better tools that can help you. You work so hard, are inefficient, and tire yourself out. What if you fall ill?"

Wang Xiujuan sat on a stool beside her, "Isn't this bothering you because you are busy with the little chicken and have to hand over the account book with shopkeeper Lin?"
