"The water is out?"
"Let's take a look."
"The water is really out of the water?"
It was time to get off work, and Zhou Ziwen and the others' shouts were interrupted. When the members after work heard this, they all came over excitedly to check on the situation.
On their farm, they have been thinking about digging a well for a long time.
It’s just that there is too little water here, not only on their farm, but also on other surrounding farms.
Every time you fetch water, you have to go far away. Even during droughts, many places where water is fetched dry up, and you need to go further to fetch water.
In the past few days, everyone also knew that Lao Chen’s son-in-law was helping them dig wells, but no one had any hope.
After all, the farm director had asked experts to dig wells before, and he also dug wells, but he still couldn't produce water.
As for Lao Chen’s son-in-law, he looks like a young man at first glance.
As the saying goes, if you don't talk well, you can't do things well. How can Zhou Ziwen, at such a young age, dig a well?
However, when they saw the clear water gradually emerging from the well, everyone was shocked. They gathered around the well excitedly and talked about it.
"It's really out of the water! Comrade Zhou Ziwen is really capable!"
"Yes, I thought he was young and might not be good at it before, but I didn't expect that he was really beaten out. "
"This is good. It will be much more convenient for us to use water in the future. We no longer have to travel so far to fetch water."
The members spoke to each other with joyful smiles on their faces. Their impression of Zhou Ziwen completely changed.
Zhou Ziwen also breathed a sigh of relief, his efforts were not in vain.
“Don’t just look at it, clean up the well quickly to make the water clearer.” Zhou Ziwen said.
Everyone responded one after another and started to get busy.
After hearing the news, Director Wang also hurried over.
"You're really out of water! Comrade Zhou Ziwen, you are so awesome!" Director Wang excitedly held Zhou Ziwen's hand.
“This is the result of everyone’s joint efforts.” Zhou Ziwen said modestly.
"Yes, but I still have to thank you. If it weren't for you, we don't know when we would be able to get water." Director Wang said with emotion.
With this well, life on the farm will become more convenient.
Dad Chen is also proud of Zhou Ziwen. He feels that Zhou Ziwen has made a great contribution to the farm.
"Ziwen, you are really good!" Father Chen said with a smile.
"Dad, this is what I should do." Zhou Ziwen said.
With the successful construction of the well, Zhou Ziwen's reputation on the farm increased rapidly.
Everyone regards him as the hero of the farm, and greet him warmly and gratefully every time they see him.
As a result, Dad Chen also received respect and gratitude from everyone. They felt that Father Chen was really lucky to have such a capable son-in-law.
Since the well was dug, Dad Chen's living conditions have undergone qualitative changes.
First of all, it was work. He was promoted to scorekeeper by Director Wang, so he didn’t have to work anymore.
In this regard, the members did not have much opinion.
Although the well on the farm was drilled by Zhou Ziwen, in the final analysis, it was still because of Father Chen.
Without Father Chen, Zhou Ziwen would not have come to the farm, let alone help everyone dig a well.
In the past, they had to go several miles away to fetch water, but now! Just take a few steps.
This is a real benefit that makes people unable to gossip.
"Dad, we are ready to go back."
That night, during dinner, Zhou Ziwen said to Dad Chen.
They have been out for several days, and it is not appropriate to stay any longer.
Hearing this, Father Chen's hand holding the chopsticks trembled.
"It's time to go. You have been here for several days. You might as well go back early and don't suffer with me here."
Dad Chen was silent for a while. Then he nodded and said. "Dad..."
Chen Shiying was a little reluctant to give up.
"Shiying, don't be sad. You can come see me again when you have the chance." Father Chen comforted her.
"Well, Dad, we will come to see you often." Chen Shiying choked with sobs.
Zhou Ziwen also said: "Dad, don't worry, we will take care of ourselves. You should also take care of yourself here."
Dad Chen nodded: "I know. , you don’t have to worry about me.”
After eating, Dad Chen helped them pack their luggage and told them some things to pay attention to.
The next day, Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying took their luggage and prepared to leave the farm.
The members of the farm all came to see them off. They took some of the local specialties they had prepared and stuffed them into the hands of Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying.
"Comrade Zhou Ziwen, thank you for digging a well for our farm. This is a little kindness from us. You must accept it."
"Yes, you must be careful on the way back. , Come back often when you have time.”
Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying kept rejecting everyone’s gifts.
The farm was not wealthy to begin with, and everyone was having a hard time.
Zhou Ziwen would have a hard time with his conscience if he accepted their things.
Dad Chen stood aside, watching this scene, his heart full of emotion.
Before leaving, Zhou Ziwen chatted with Director Wang alone for a while and asked him to take proper care of Father Chen.
Director Wang patted his chest and promised that he would take good care of Father Chen.
Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying left the farm.
They looked back at the farm fading away, their hearts filled with reluctance.
"Ziwen, can we come and see dad again next year?" Chen Shiying asked.
"Okay, from now on we will go home to visit relatives every year and see them every year." Zhou Ziwen nodded with a smile.
The farm is more than ten kilometers away from the county seat. By the time they arrived at the county seat, it was almost noon.
"Shiying, let's find a place to eat first, and then go directly to buy train tickets."
Walking into the county seat, Zhou Ziwen said to Chen Shiying.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Chen Shiying nodded.
After walking for so long, Chen Shiying was also a little tired.
Zhou Ziwen found a restaurant relatively close to the train station, and he and Chen Shiying ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles.
After eating, Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying went to the train station and bought train tickets for the day.
In the waiting room, Chen Shiying leaned on Zhou Ziwen's shoulder and said softly: "Ziwen, I am really happy to see my father this time."
Zhou Ziwen held his hand She held Chen Shiying's hand and said, "Me too. Seeing that my father's living conditions have improved, I feel relieved."
The train slowly entered the station, and Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying got on the train with their luggage. .
On the train, they recalled the past few days on the farm, and their hearts were filled with emotion.
This family visit not only allowed me to visit Dad Chen, but also improved his life. I believe that Dad Chen’s life will be better in the future.
After walking all morning, Chen Shiying was also tired.
She fell asleep in the car not long after getting in the car.
Looking at Chen Shiying's peaceful sleeping face, Zhou Ziwen felt warm in his heart.
He gently covered Chen Shiying with a piece of clothing to prevent her from catching a cold.
The train was speeding on the rails, and the scenery outside the window kept receding.
Zhou Ziwen was not feeling sleepy, so he checked the various skills on the idle panel from his seat. (End of this chapter)
