Chapter 69

68
Huanhuan didn't want her grandmother to ask about the money for buying a bullock cart, so she hugged her grandmother's arm and said softly what Atu said about her parents getting up early and going to the city in the dark.

After hearing this, Miao said with emotion and distress: "Atu doesn't talk much, but he is a very considerate child. How can such a good child be an orphan?"

It was getting dark at this time, and Zeng Chunxing had already prepared dinner, but because Wu Xingbang had gone to Anping Village and hadn't come back yet, the whole family didn't feel like eating, and they all sat under the eaves and waited.

Wu Xingbang didn't come back until [-]:[-] PM, and Chu Jingchen got a torch from somewhere to illuminate Wu Xingbang.

As soon as Miao saw people entering the yard, she eagerly went up to them: "Old man, have you discussed a good solution?"

"We've discussed it." Wu Xingbang glanced at Chu Jingchen with a smile, and then said, "I'm done talking, please pour me a bowl of water first."

"Master, sister Chun Xing has made big bone soup, I'll go get you a bowl of big bone soup to moisten your throat." Seeing that his grandfather came back unscathed, Huanhuan happily entered the kitchen.

At night, Guo was afraid that her daughter would burn, so she hurried into the kitchen and brought out the big bone soup for Wu Xingbang.

Everyone hasn't had dinner yet, and the tung oil that Huanhuan bought during the day came in handy.

Everyone gathered around the dining table and listened to Wu Xingbang talking about the results of the consultation in Anping Village while eating.

Wu Xingbang, who drank a bowl of big bone soup, was very chatty. He put down his chopsticks after frying eggs with his chopsticks: "Starting tomorrow, during the busy farming period, our Wujia Village divides water to irrigate the fields on odd-numbered days, and Anping Village on even-numbered days. Riguantian..."

"Can the folks in our village agree?" Mrs. Guo expressed doubts about the result of such a discussion: "Our Wujia Village has a large population and has a lot more fields than Anping Village."

No matter how you look at this result, the folks in Wujia Village are at a disadvantage.

The father-in-law got over the patriarch Wu Huairen and took the lead, so he negotiated such a result, and the folks in Wujia Village will complain, right?
Wu Boming knew that his father wouldn't be so confused, so he expressed his guess: "Father, don't tell me that no matter whether it's an odd or even a night, our Wujia Village will irrigate the fields?"

"You guessed half right." Seeing his son's confused face, Wu Xingbang laughed: "Actually, at the beginning, the two sides disagreed and couldn't talk about it. Later, Ah Tu gave us an idea, that is, our two villages You can dig several large reservoirs next to the farmland in your village, and slowly divert the water from the Zihua River into the ponds at night. Even on days when your village is not irrigated, the villagers can still divert water from the ponds to irrigate the fields. .”

The Zihua River is not big, and the two villages can't stop the water. If that's the case, won't the folks from the downstream villages come to them and try their best?

Slowly lead the water into the reservoir, and the accumulation of less will make more, which can relieve the pressure in all aspects.

After Wu Xingbang finished speaking, Wu Boming patted his thigh: "This is a great idea! How did you come up with it, Ah Tu?"

It doesn't take many days for the busy farming season. With the reservoir, they can divert the river water to the reservoir before the busy farming season, and it will be much easier for the big guys when the farming season is busy.

Chu Jingchen narrowed his eyes: "I read it in the book."

There were too many things about Ah Tu that surprised them, and his literacy was not bad. Wu Boming and others easily accepted such an argument.

Only the little girl Huanhuan smiled at him meaningfully.

Chu Jingchen raised his eyelids to look at her, picked up the bowl and started to eat.

Huanhuan curled her mouth.

Forget it, it's rare for this guy to sit down and eat with them, so she won't be angry with him.
