Chapter 27 Putting in the big spring
After doing all this work, Su Tai felt that she was almost paralyzed from exhaustion, and her body was smelly of sweat. Fortunately, she wore a thin undershirt to work.
The temperature of the water is suitable, neither too cold nor too hot, just right for a good bath.
The next day was the second day of the Lunar New Year, and Han wanted to take them back to her parents' home.
Su Chunlin loaded the prepared food early, and Su Tai took the opportunity to get two cabbages out, "Dad, bring this with you."
Su Chunlin and his wife were dumbfounded when they saw the thing, "Why is there more?"
"No more, only these two are left." Su Tai said.
The couple stopped asking further questions.
When the family arrived at Han's house, Old Man Han and his wife Gao had been waiting in the main room for a long time. When they heard Mrs. Han's shout, they immediately called all the younger members of the family out.
Su Chunlin enjoyed the feeling of being taken seriously and hurriedly handed the things he brought to Mr. Gao.
When Mrs. Gao saw that there were grains and cabbages, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "Where did the cabbage come from in the middle of winter? It's still so juicy!"
Han didn't want to say too much, so she said vaguely: "They were given by the Shen family to whom Xiao Tai was engaged. There are only two of them, and I brought them all over."
"Hey! You're talking about Shen Yi! I've heard about it. It's thanks to your family and Shen Yi's help that the typhoid fever broke out this time. The town officials have notified every village. There are also many people in our village who are shouting. I want to go to Shenjiazhuang to thank Shen Yi in person!
I also heard that many people wanted to tell their girl to Shen Yi. Later, when I found out that Shen Yi was engaged to our little moss, it was a pity! "
When talking about this, Mrs. Gao looked relieved.
Mrs. Han also looked like she had found a treasure, smiling from ear to ear, "It's not like we let our little moi get an advantage! Ever since Xiao moi got engaged to Shen Yi, good things have been going on in the family, even if there is trouble. It can be solved, and Shen Yi is very good to Xiaomo, much better than the white-eyed wolf of the Xiong family!"
Mrs. Gao held Su Tai's hand and walked into the house. As she walked, she said, "You probably don't know yet, but the Xiong family member is already married to a girl from the Mo family in the same village, who was engaged to Shen Yi before. Do you think it’s a coincidence?”
Gao had a suspicious look on his face. He had obviously suspected that there was something fishy between the two people, but there was no evidence and it was hard to say clearly.
Han covered her mouth in shock, "I really don't know what to say! If I had known this, I should have let Xiao Tai and Shen Yi get engaged, so that the Xiong Mo family could be happy."
"Only you are honest! I guess there may be some twists and turns in this matter!" Gao complained angrily, and stopped Su Tai distressedly, "Anyway, those slanderous people have nothing to do with us, so don't mention it. !”
While they were talking, the group entered the door, and Han Yan quickly closed the door.
When everyone is gathered together, spring plowing is rarely mentioned.
Old Man Han looked at Su Chunlin, "The two wells in your village should still produce water!"
Su Chunlin nodded, "Originally we were worried that such a small amount of water wouldn't last long, but we didn't expect that the water kept running out. Where is Zhongmen Village?"
Old Man Han sighed, "There is still water, but there is not much snow this year. I'm afraid if I point to that well next year, I won't be able to start spring plowing. I'm worried!"
Su Chunlin wanted to take a look at the well, but Su Tai happened to follow.
In such a cold weather, the villagers were afraid that the well would freeze, so they built a shed over the well and the villagers took turns to guard it.
When the other party saw that the person Old Man Han brought over was Su Chunlin, he immediately welcomed him warmly.
Su Tai secretly entered the water space and time while they were chatting, and spent one hundred virtual coins to buy the right to use a large spring, and put the large spring under the well. A small spring superimposed on a large spring, the amount of water produced.
She came out of the Gate of Time and Space and curiously went over to lift the manhole cover while everyone was chatting. The villagers saw this and knew that Su Tai, a little girl, could not make any waves, and no one could stop her.
Su Tai witnessed with her own eyes that the water in the well rose at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was not until the water was almost coming out that she looked panicked and said, "Dad, grandpa, look, the water is coming out!"
"What's coming out?" Old Man Han said as he walked towards Su Tai. When he saw the water coming out of the well, he screamed in fright, "My dear mother! It's really coming out!"
Everyone came over curiously, and for a moment the hayloft seemed to explode.
The guarding villagers immediately ran to find the village chief. After a while, all the men, women, and children in the village gathered.
Witnessing the water from the well gurgling out, everyone hurriedly brought all the wooden barrels from home and filled them from house to house, fearing that an extra drop of water would flow out.
Su Chunlin murmured in a low voice: "Why did the well water suddenly increase? It's so strange!"
Su Tai shook her head repeatedly, "I don't know, Dad, no matter what the reason is, it is always a good thing. Maybe the water in the well in our village will come out in a few days."
"Hahaha, if that's the case, you won't have to worry about spring plowing!" Su Chunlin was so careless that he didn't take Su Tai's words to heart at all.
When I got back, I told Mrs. Han about it as a rare thing.
Because the well in Zhongmen Village was full of water on the second day of the Lunar New Year, all the married women who returned to their natal families knew about it, and the news would spread quickly.
When the family returned to Dongmen Village, Su Chunlin immediately went to the village chief to tell him about the incident. Su Tai found an excuse to go to the well, put in two large springs, and then quietly slipped back.
Mr. Han was busy packing his things but didn't ask any further questions.
When she finished her work, Su Chunlin hadn't come back yet, but the village was bustling first. She went out for a trip, and then rushed home excitedly, "Xiao Tai, A Zhan, hurry up! Get the bucket, we're going to fetch water!"
The family rushed to the well only to find that many villagers had gathered there. Everyone tried their best to lift water, but they still couldn't keep up with the water flow rate from the well. Within an hour, the water in the well had flowed out of the well mouth, which made Su Changxi feel heartbroken.
They had no choice but to gather the villagers to dig ditches and big pits next to the wells, so that they could save some money.
The ground was frozen hard in the winter, making it difficult to dig. We had to hammer it with a hammer. Everyone was so busy that they never stopped.
The small pit originally planned to be dug turned into a big pit, the big pit turned into a small pond, the small pond turned into a large pond, and finally the water was simply introduced into the field.
By opening up the fields of each family, the rain and dew can reach evenly.
For this reason, the villagers stopped running into the fields every day, fearing that the water would not reach their fields.
By mid-February, every household's land was filled with well water.
People who came to buy water from Ximen Village were so jealous that they cried, but there was nothing they could do.
Gao Zhi was also anxious and personally went to Dongmen Village. When he returned, he became autistic. He didn't think about food or tea, and even didn't want to live anymore.
The villagers brought up old stories again and said in front of Xiong Kai and Mo Chunxiang that they were not lucky. One missed the opportunity to be the son-in-law of Dongmen Village, and the other missed the chance to be praised by the town official.
The young couple was so angry that they simply stayed behind closed doors and kept their eyes out of sight.
At the same time, the vegetables planted by Su Tai can be harvested again.
