Chapter 37 The Unity of the Villagers

Chapter 37 The Unity of the Villagers

In the afternoon of that day, Meng Laoliu asked people to go door-to-door to notify, and in the evening, a general meeting of all the villagers of Yunshui Village was held under the old locust tree in the center of the village.

Because many men in the village work in the town and don't come back at noon, most of the participants are old people and women, but it is absolutely guaranteed that every family will participate.

As the initiator of this incident, Yun Shu naturally couldn't be absent. At first, she was a little worried that everyone would not support it, but when the old village chief finished talking about the water diversion, she finally realized the unity of Yunshui Village.

Almost everyone raised their hands in favor of water diversion. Although there have been several failures before, everyone's enthusiasm remains undiminished.

Of course, there are still one or two disapproving voices.

The representative sent by the Yun family was the second son, Yun Yi. He was always pampered, not to mention the work in the village, he didn't even lift a finger in the house work.

"Oh my god, I have done this matter of diverting mountain spring water several times before, why do I divert it again? I think you are all stupid when you hit the south wall knowing that it will not succeed!"

After getting the Liang family's marriage, Yun Yi raised his status even more, and looked down on the villagers even more.

However, the people in the village didn't have much affection for their Yun family. Aunt Wang snorted and said unceremoniously: "We are all stupid, I think your Yun family doesn't want to send people to work! That's what you said." , What happened in the village before, where did you see someone from your family?"

"Who said that we have never had someone out? Isn't it my elder brother who came out every time..."

"You also know that your eldest brother is in the early stage! It's just a pity that your eldest brother has done so much work for your Yun family, but his wife and daughter have been abandoned by your Yun family. What a shameless bunch! White-eyed wolf!"

Aunt Wang spoke every word, and Yun Yi choked until Yun Yi blushed and his neck was thick, and he lost face.

Yun Shu sat with Aunt Wang and quietly gave her a thumbs up.Luo Qingyi took Yun Xin to take a nap at home, and Yun Shu knew that her mother didn't want to see the Yun family anymore, so she didn't let her come out with her.Now it seems that this decision was really correct.

"Ahem, old village chief, my master said that diverting water sources is a great thing for the benefit of the people, and he firmly supports it. We have six people from the Liang family, and we are always at the disposal of the old village chief."

Liang Da, the housekeeper of the Liang family, spoke at the right time. As the richest man in Yunshui Village, the Liang family, although Mrs. Liang is not very good, but Mr. Liang is a good one. The old village head and the villagers applauded repeatedly.

Even the Liang family expressed their opinion, and Yun Yi rolled his eyes and quickly raised his hands in agreement: "I agree, I agree too!"

Aunt Wang snorted: "You agree to have a fart! Who does the work in your family!"

Taking a furtive glance at Liang Da, Yun Yi straightened his back and patted his plump stomach: "Of course I, Yun Yi, will do this kind of great benefit for the people myself!"

Yun Shu glanced at him, raised his brows with a sneer, did Yun Yi think they were all fools and couldn't see what kind of plan he was planning?It's nothing more than seeing that someone from the Liang family wants to perform well in front of the future in-laws.

However, who is Mr. Liang, would he do this kind of work himself?Not to mention Master Liang, I'm afraid even the butler Liang Da won't show up.She was really looking forward to seeing the scene where Yun Yi slapped himself in the face.

The matter of diverting water sources has been settled in this way, but in addition to recruiting manpower, it is necessary to carefully survey the terrain and draw water channel maps, so this matter cannot be started for a while.After exchanging glances with Yun Shu and Meng Xiangdong, the old village head decided that everyone would gather at the foot of the mountain in two days and reassign everyone's tasks at that time.

After the meeting in the afternoon, Yun Shu went up the mountain with a small bamboo basket and Meng Xiangdong. They were going to see the terrain around the spring so they could discuss the best way to divert water.

In addition, we have to look at the bamboo forest and choose the bamboo suitable for waterways.

While walking, Yun Shu shared his thoughts with Meng Xiangdong.Meng Xiangdong's eyes became brighter the more he heard it, and he looked at her with admiration: "Shu'er, I really didn't realize that you have such a mature idea! Then what else do we need to investigate, just start doing it!"

Yun Shu chuckled: "Brother Xiangdong, you forgot that there is a saying that if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools? This is just an idea, I don't know if it can be implemented! Look, the bamboo forest is here!"

This bamboo forest was very dense. After the two of them walked around the forest, Yun Shu took out a shovel and marked some of the bamboos.

Meng Xiangdong observed very carefully, and found that there were two kinds of marks she made. He couldn't help being a little strange: "What are you doing?"

"Make a mark!" Yun Shu drew a tick on a tree again, and said with a smile: "Look, the bamboos that are marked are basically of average thickness, and we will use them to make water channels. These drawn diagonally The bamboo of the line is a bit thicker than the ones just now, and they will be used as joints at that time, so as to prevent the spring water from leaking halfway.”

Yun Shu's idea is actually very simple. Connect bamboos of the same thickness and wrap them with thicker bamboos at the connected places.It was still a little weak, so she decided to find some older pine trees and see if she could find some resin to fill the gaps.

Hearing that Yun Shu was looking for turpentine, Meng Xiangdong immediately agreed, patted his chest.

Yun Shu looked at him suspiciously: "Brother Xiangdong, it's not that I look down on you, it's just that you study in the town all year round, how do you know where there is pine resin?"

puff!
Meng Xiangdong couldn't help laughing, he said why this girl was staring at him so closely, he thought it was because of his charm, but he didn't believe him!
"You girl! Although I have been in the town all year round, I grew up in the village when I was a child. I am also familiar with this forest. Don't worry, I will definitely find you the resin!"

With Meng Xiangdong's guarantee, why is Yun Shu worried?Furthermore, this Meng Xiangdong seemed very reliable, and he was also humble and cautious in his conduct. Since he agreed, he would definitely be able to do it.

After picking out the bamboo, the two continued to walk up the mountain, wandered around the spring and then came down the mountain.While walking, Yun Shu also picked up the mushrooms and wild fruits she saw into her back basket, and Meng Xiangdong couldn't help laughing at her: "No wonder you have to carry a basket when you go up the mountain, I dare say you have other ideas !"

After picking a handful of wild peppers and throwing them into the basket, Yun Shu grinned: "That's right, I'm busy with water diversion all day today, and I don't know what to have for dinner! Just come to the mountain to have a look!"

Looking at the path ahead, she turned around and said, "Brother Xiangdong, go back along the path first! I'm going to see if the trap I set up has caught the prey."

Meng Xiangdong looked at the slightly setting sun, and shook his head worriedly: "I'll go with you! There are no people on the mountain at the moment, and I don't feel at ease if you are alone on the mountain."

"I'm fine, really..." Yun Shu was still insisting, but Meng Xiangdong had already stepped forward.

Yun Shu was speechless. She went up the mountain with a basket on her back not only to pick the mushrooms, but also to pick some pimples to make jam at home.But now that Meng Xiangdong was by her side, she really didn't dare to take the risk of picking the fruit. This guy was a bit smart, if he saw the clue, her jam business would be in jeopardy.

Sighing, Yun Shu could only resign himself to following behind him with a basket on his back.

Perhaps because she knew that things were not going well for her today, even the wild things didn't give her face.Those organs were empty, not to mention pheasants and hares, there was not even a hair in sight.

"Has this rabbit and pheasant become smarter? Why don't they take the bait!"

After complaining, Yun Shu kicked the mechanism angrily, and with a click, the mechanism closed immediately. If she hadn't moved so fast, her feet might have turned into hares and got caught.

Seeing her childish appearance, Meng Xiangdong couldn't help laughing, bent down to fix the mechanism, changed the place, and found some grass that didn't look the same and spread it around.

 Quietly ask for an evaluation ticket, okay~ five-star drop, okay~meow~
