After finding the place to fetch water, Zhou Ziwen came to the office on the farm.
Director Wang happens to be in the office as well.
When Zhou Ziwen came to the door, he immediately stood up enthusiastically.
"Comrade Zhou Ziwen is here! Come in and sit down."
Because of Uncle Zhou's letter of introduction, Director Wang was very enthusiastic about Zhou Ziwen.
"Thank you, director."
After Zhou Ziwen thanked him, he found a place to sit down.
"Comrade Ziwen, why did you come to see me?"
After pouring a cup of tea for Zhou Ziwen, Director Wang asked tentatively.
“I have something to discuss with Director Wang.”
Zhou Ziwen nodded.
"Please tell me." Director Wang seemed very polite.
"It's like this. I see that our farm is short of water. We need to go far away to get water. I would like to discuss with you to see if we can dig a well nearby."
Zhou Ziwen said.
“Hey, Comrade Zhou Ziwen, you may not know the situation here. We have also dug wells on the farm, but there is no water at all in this area.”
"Now we have to fetch water from several kilometers away."
Director Wang explained somewhat awkwardly.
If he had a way, why wouldn't he want to fetch water from the farm?
It’s not like they didn’t invite someone, but they hired someone who specializes in digging wells to come and see. There is no water at all.
They even spent a lot of manpower and material resources and tried to attack several places, but in the end they were unsuccessful.
"Director Wang is right." Zhou Ziwen nodded in understanding.
"I have also looked at the situation on the farm. It is indeed difficult to get water, but it is not impossible."
"Oh? Comrade Zhou Ziwen also knows how to dig wells?"
Hearing this, Director Wang was a little surprised.
“Well, I have some understanding.”
Zhou Ziwen nodded modestly.
However, although he spoke modestly, the expression on his face was extremely confident.
“Comrade Zhou Ziwen, do you mean that we can dig wells on our farm?” Director Wang asked in surprise.
Zhou Ziwen nodded, and then said: "Although I can't guarantee 100%, through my observation, I found that there may be underground water in several places, the most likely one is under the woods south of the farm "
Director Wang listened, with a glimmer of hope in his eyes, and said, "Comrade Zhou Ziwen, if we can really dig a well on the farm, it will solve our big problem. What support do you need? , just say it.”
He also understood clearly that Zhou Ziwen came to him to discuss digging a well.
He was more anxious than Zhou Ziwen about this matter.
"I need a few laborers to help dig wells."
Seeing that Director Wang said this, Zhou Ziwen was not polite to him.
It's useless to say anything now. Only by digging out the well can we be truly capable.
"Okay, I will fully cooperate with you."
Director Wang gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement.
You know, he also has to bear risks by doing this.
If Zhou Ziwen cannot get water by then, he, the person in charge of the farm, will also be held responsible.
The reason why Zhou Ziwen believes so much is firstly because of the letter of introduction, and secondly because their farm is indeed short of water.
After receiving Director Wang's support, Zhou Ziwen immediately took action.
He asked Director Wang for a few laborers who were in good health and took them to the woods south of the farm.
Zhou Ziwen observed the terrain carefully, then pointed to a place and said, "Let's start digging here."
No one refused after hearing Zhou Ziwen's arrangement.
They all heard that Zhou Ziwen was here to help them dig a well. Digging a well is a manual job, but it is also a technical job.
Especially after digging deeper, the operation is not so convenient.
Zhou Ziwen helped guide them and asked them to stand in a reasonable position and start digging according to his prescribed movements.
In this way, the speed of digging wells is much faster.
Of course, Zhou Ziwen didn’t just watch and do nothing.
When everyone was digging the well, he helped transport the soil to the side.
This is purely physical work, which is what he is good at.
Everyone worked together and the work of digging the well was carried out in an orderly manner.
As time went by, the well became deeper and deeper, but there was still no sign of water.
At this time, someone was anxious.
"Comrade Zhou Ziwen, is there really water in this place?"
A member asked in confusion.
"There is water." Zhou Ziwen nodded affirmatively.
“But you also know the situation here, because there are relatively few water resources. If you want to get water, you need to dig deeper.”
“How deep is it?”
The member digging the well asked curiously.
Actually, they also know the situation here, and they also know that what Zhou Ziwen said makes sense.
But being reasonable is one thing, being anxious is another.
"I estimate that the water in this place is below thirty meters. Don't worry, we will find out in a few more days of digging."
Zhou Ziwen spoke to comfort.
After listening to Zhou Ziwen's words, although everyone still had some doubts in their hearts, they continued to dig hard.
In the next few days, Zhou Ziwen continued to dig wells with the farm members. A few days later, the well hole had been dug to a depth of more than 20 meters, but at this time, there was still no sign of water in the well.
At this time, several members were a little shaken. They felt that Zhou Ziwen's judgment might be wrong.
“Comrade Zhou Ziwen, we have dug so deep and there is still no water, I think we should give up!” One of the members suggested.
Zhou Ziwen shook his head and spoke to comfort, "Everyone, hold on a little longer. You see, the soil and humidity have changed a lot from before. Now we have dug more than 20 meters. Only Just need to dig a few more meters.”
If it were other people digging wells, they might have given up at this time.
But Zhou Ziwen was very confident that the place he chose must have water.
In his perception, the Qi in this place is very strong and flows at a certain speed.
According to Feng Shui, there must be water in this place.
“Ziwen, haven’t you dug out the water yet?”
While Zhou Ziwen was comforting several members who were digging wells, Director Wang from the farm also came over.
“Not yet, but it will be soon.”
Zhou Ziwen shook his head and opened his mouth to explain.
Director Wang looked at the deep well and felt a little worried: "Comrade Zhou Ziwen, are you sure you can get water from here? We have invested a lot of manpower and time."
Zhou Ziwen said firmly: "Director Wang, I am confident that water will come out if we dig a few more meters."
Seeing Zhou Ziwen's persistence, Director Wang couldn't say anything else. He could only encourage everyone to keep working hard: "Everyone, try harder and trust Comrade Zhou Ziwen's judgment."
Although he was worried about whether he could dig out the water. I no longer feel confident, but I have already dug so deep, so it doesn’t matter if I dig a few more meters.
After Director Wang left, they continued to work hard.
Most of the day passed, and when we dug nearly thirty meters, we finally made a surprising discovery.
"There is water! There is water! I dug water."
In the well, a member shouted excitedly. (End of this chapter)
