Era: Starting from cave dwellings in northern Shaanxi

Chapter 20 Someone wants to mess with you!
  "Xiao Hai, we all live in the same courtyard, so we are not outsiders. If you have anything to say, just say it."

After all, Mrs. Qian has matured with age. Although the pain from her heart frightened her, how could she not know what kind of person Zhao Fuhai was after all these years of contact?
  In the eyes of outsiders, he has been a bad person since childhood.

There is no comparison with his honest and honest elder brother.

"Aunt Qian, don't worry. In fact, it's not difficult to crack it. As long as the well cannot be drilled, or even water can't be pumped out, and it is finally filled in, won't everything be fine?"

Zhao Fuhai said calmly.

"What you said is simple. That sick man even fooled the well-drilling team leader from the commune, and the old party secretary still favors him. Who can stop him?"

Granny Qian thought to herself that if she could have stopped it, she would have stopped it long ago.

But after using up her three axes of being a fool, rolling around, and playing rogue, she couldn't think of any other tricks.

Especially the old party secretary's look that was tearing her apart made her even more frightened.

"It's definitely not possible to confront the old party secretary openly, but we can do it secretly."

Zhao Fuhai said.

"Why is it so dark?"

"Speaking of which, I need sister-in-law Xiaoyun's help with this matter."

"Her? How can she help?"

Mrs. Qian curled her lips when she mentioned her daughter-in-law.

"Don't be impatient. Listen to me and tell you slowly..."

Then, the sound became quieter and quieter.

Early the next morning, Sun Xiangyang still went to pick up a load of water. Although the old party secretary asked Sun Tiaotiao's father to pick up water for his family once before, Sun Xiangyang declined later.

After all, he has hands and feet. Carrying water can not only exercise his body, but also explore the proficiency of skills.

By the time he finished his meal and wandered over here, the well-drilling team had already started work.

Today, the Shuangshuiwan well drilling team has added three more people, reaching a total of fifteen people, not counting the people brought by Liu Chunhua.

The main reason is that the area is larger and can accommodate more people working at the same time.

The soil was transported outside one by one on small carts and piled into a hill.

When Sun Xiangyang led Dudu over, Sun Tiaotiao immediately ran over to take Dudu away. The task given to him by the old party secretary was to take good care of Dudu and gain favor in front of Sun Xiangyang.

Even if Sun Tiaotiao had no idea, the old branch secretary was obviously concerned about the matter of recruiting disciples.

He defends Sun Xiangyang everywhere, and naturally there are reasons for this.

At this time, the old party secretary was standing in the yard, shouting loudly.

"Get out of your efforts to find my mother-in-law. This well is related to our Shuangshui Bay's century-old water draft. As well diggers, your names are bound to be passed down along with this well.

In the future, when you grow old, you can hold your grandson’s hand and tell him proudly that your grandfather dug out the well in Shuangshuiwan spade by spade.

So, if anyone dares to cheat, get out of here, because you don't deserve to enjoy this honor at all! "

I have to admit that the old party secretary is still very good at mobilizing motivation.

Although in Sun Xiangyang's view, the so-called century-old water draft is a bit too far away. At most, in twenty years, when every household has the conditions, they will find someone to pump a well in the yard and say goodbye to the days of carrying water.

Even if the Loess Plateau is severely short of water, you can use a drilling machine to dig down dozens or hundreds of meters, which is enough for a family to eat.

Even in the future, everyone will install tap water and solar energy.

But all this was only known based on Sun Xiangyang's understanding of the development and changes of later generations.

For the people of Shuangshuiwan today, their ancestors have lived in this barren land for generations. The difficulty of drafting water is a problem that has been passed down from generation to generation and has long been ingrained in their minds.

Therefore, they have no idea what the future will be like. They simply think that by building a well that has been planned for a century now, future generations will no longer have to run several miles to fetch water, and no one will have to break their legs to fetch water.

In winter, you don’t have to boil snow water to drink just because you can’t go out.

No need to wash your face with water before washing clothes.

Because of this, the words of the old party secretary are a matter of honor and pride for the people of the Shuangshuiwan Well Drilling Team.

"Also, as long as the water is pumped out, everyone will get a certificate of merit at the end of the year!" The old party secretary continued to spread the bait outside.

"Old party secretary, you must keep your word. I have never received a certificate in my life. With this thing, it will be easy for me to marry my mother-in-law in the future."

Upon hearing the certificate, a young man pushing a cart said immediately.

The others also booed.

"That's right, a certificate can carry at least one hundred kilograms of grain."

"I have two certificates at home. How about exchanging them with you for [-] kilograms of grain?"

"Get out of here, my sons are all over the place, why do I still need a certificate to marry my mother-in-law?"

Mother-in-law is a dialect spoken in northern Shaanxi and means the same as daughter-in-law.

Although the words of the people in this congregation may sound a bit out of tune, the reality is indeed true.

Because the certificate not only represents honor, but also represents that the person is practical, capable, and has a reliable character. Otherwise, the production team would not issue the certificate to him.

In the general concept, as long as you have good character and are willing to work hard, your life will be good.

No matter how nice the matchmaker's words are, nothing is more practical than a certificate of award.

So the person who said earlier that it would be easy to marry a mother-in-law was not a joke, at least most of it was true.

"Okay, work hard for me."

The old branch secretary also noticed that Sun Xiangyang was coming over. He waved his cigarette stick at the working members and called Sun Xiangyang over.

"Look!"

"Look at what?"

Sun Xiangyang was a little confused.

"Early this morning, Captain Liu went down to dig some soil, saying he wanted to compare it with the previous well."

The old party secretary explained.

"That's quite normal. After all, this is what I specialize in."

Sun Xiangyang didn't have any ideas. He didn't understand soil at all.

Especially here on the Loess Plateau, I have never been here in my previous life, let alone engaged in related professions.

"But it seems to me that she has no confidence in the well we dug."

In front of Sun Xiangyang, the old party secretary did not hide his true emotions.

"Then are you confident?"

Sun Xiangyang asked.

"Nonsense, if I didn't have confidence in you, would I still fight here?"

The old party secretary's eyes widened, and he seemed a little unhappy that Sun Xiangyang didn't trust him.

"That's all right. You have confidence, and I have confidence too. And there is no turning back when you shoot. Now we have only one way, and that is to get out of the water."

Sun Xiangyang said firmly.

"Yes, we are just grasshoppers on a rope now, but tell me the truth, kid, how deep can we get water? I have an idea."

"Old party secretary, do you think too highly of me? With my little ability, it's not easy to find water here. As for how deep to drill, I don't know? Anyway, just hit it as hard as you can."

Sun Xiangyang told the truth.

He really didn't know how deep the well would be.

The only thing I know is that this is the best and most suitable location for well digging in the entire Shuangshui Bay.

"Okay, there's no need for anyone to keep an eye on us, let's go and join in the fun."

After saying that, the old party secretary took Sun Xiangyang and left.
