Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 388

Sorry, post first and then change, see later.

Don't look at the old beard, although he is angry on the face, he is actually very clear-headed.

The old Hu's family has a large population, and the old woman has a soft temper. If he hadn't run the family well, the old Hu's family would not have lived peacefully for so many years, and there have been no major conflicts so far.

Such a farce finally ended with one party's heartbroken reprimand, and the other party knelt down and sincerely repented.
-
On the second day, the sons of the Hu family honestly took care of their affairs and followed the old Hu tou to dig ditches in their own fields.

Once in the field, a new problem arises.

How to dig?
Where to start?
The fields of Lao Hu's family are nearly a hundred acres in one piece, which is not too small.

Such a large piece of land, if you say you want to dig a canal, you can't just dig it indiscriminately.

"Dad, where do we start?"

The sons of Lao Hu's family were trained to be honest last night.Especially Boss Hu is even more obedient at the moment, as long as the old Hutou doesn't say anything, he won't dare to do anything with the guy in his hands.

The old beard actually didn't know what to do.

Although he went to the farm yesterday afternoon to inquire about the news, he just stood outside and took a peek inside, and he saw a mess of large and small canals distributed in different places.As for the special doorway here, the old Hutou really doesn't know.

But the old Hutou didn't know, and he couldn't just say it that way.Otherwise, the prestige he had accumulated in front of his son yesterday would have to be compromised.

Thinking about it, Boss Hu glanced at the few fields with the deepest water, and the left and right were already like this. No matter how hard he dug it, it would not be worse, so he said to his sons:
"Boss and brother, you two go to Xitou, and dig along the ridge of our field."

"to make."

Boss Hu and Second Hu didn't think much, they walked to the westernmost field ridge of Lao Hu's house, and started working with the stagnant water overflowing the calf on the left and right.

Perhaps the water was too high and there was no way to clean it up. The rain mixed with mud seriously affected the sightlines. It was not easy for Mr. Hu and Mr. Hu to dig.

"Brother, can we dig like this?"

The more Hu Laoer dug, the more he couldn't do it. It's not that he didn't want to spend more energy, but he really couldn't see the situation below the water.

With such a light hand and heavy hand digging, it is impossible to tell how deep the digging is and where it is.

"Don't worry about whether it can be done or not, let's just listen to daddy, and it's right to listen to daddy."

The two of them were the worst two to be scolded by the old beard last night.

Forget about the second child, most of what happened yesterday was caused by him, Boss Hu felt that he was really wronged.

As the eldest in the family, he had to set an example for his younger siblings, and for his grandchildren and nephews. He was already cautious enough in his words, but yesterday he was implicated by the second child and scolded him bloody.

How dare you open your mouth to question now, just work honestly.

Hu Lao Er took a deep breath in his heart, but he has also learned to be smart now, and the other brothers in the house are not in the top, so it is meaningless for him to be thankless in the top.

It's not that the boss doesn't want to cause trouble now, and he can't help it, so let's work together to survive.

Hu Boss and Hu Lao Er over there were digging randomly, and Hu Lao San and Hu Lao Si went to the north with Hu Lao San and Hu Lao Si.

After all, Mr. Hu is a scholar. After looking around, he asked, "Father, how wide and deep are we going to dig this canal?"

The old beard thought for a while and saw Wang San's responsibility field outside the fence yesterday. It didn't seem to be very wide, only three or four feet at most.

He was standing far away, and with the rainwater flowing on the canal, the depth was really hard to see. Digging deeper to the left and right would never go wrong.

"Just dig four feet wide, and the deeper the better."

After the old Hutou gave the order, Hu Laosan and Hu Laosi also got busy.

The stagnant water here is better than the stagnant water at Boss Hu's side, but it is also muddy and cannot be seen clearly.

Hu Laosi brought a measuring rope when he went out, compared the size with Hu Laosan, and determined the width to be dug.

It's just that the width is easy to set, and the depth is not counted.The deeper the better, this standard is too broad, and everyone's understanding is different.

Such a big family has been busy for a long time, and they really dug two ditches with potholes intermittently.

It's just that the more you dig into Hu Laosi's heart, the more suspicious he becomes.

The canal was dug, but the water in my field didn't go down, the water in the canal just dug was overflowing instead.

Can this thing really drain water?
Not only Hu Laosi was puzzled, but Hu Lao Er on the other side also felt that something was wrong more and more.

"Brother, can we really do this digging? Why do I think it's so unreliable. You see, we have been digging for several hours, and the accumulated water hasn't gone down at all." Hu Laoer was really tired, panting Ask Boss Hu.

Boss Hu is not young anymore. Although he has been working in the field all these years and has a strong body, he still suffers from severe back pain after such a long period of physical work.

Seeing that Hu Laoer was resting, Hu Boss couldn't help but rested while holding the shovel pole, and then said:

"Who knows.

Didn't the third child and the others also dig? Dad didn't say anything, so what can we say? "
-
"Boss Hu, what are your family doing?"

As the sky was getting dark, a few farm laborers who were about to go home from the farm saw Lao Hu's family working in the field and asked curiously.

"I'm digging a canal. The ground at home is flooded, and I wonder if I can drain the accumulated water first." Boss Hu didn't hide it, they are all from the villagers, and they don't look up and look down. This kind of thing can't be hidden at all. .

"Is it following the method in the farm outside?" A villager asked.

Boss Hu blushed when asked: "Let's just try casually, we can't let these fields be flooded forever."

"It's true. Your field is the most flooded in the village. It's not easy for the old beard."

More than half of the fields of Lao Hu's family were flooded. Although there are many poor and settled people in the village who gloated and waited to see what happened to Lao Hu's family.But most villagers still sympathize with Lao Hu's family.

Although the old Hu's family used to be rich, they were not unreasonable. Mrs. Hu was kind, and got along well with the villagers in the village.

"The water hasn't been drained, so you can see clearly through digging?" a villager asked.

Hu Laoer said helplessly: "How can we remove so much accumulated water? I don't know how much this canal can be drained."

A few people were talking, when suddenly a voice with a somewhat hoarse voice came from behind the crowd: "You can't dig so casually, and the stagnant water can't be drained out at all."

"Then how do we dig?"

Boss Hu searched for his voice and asked, and when he saw that it was Wang San, he immediately felt even more uncomfortable.

Even though Wang San is also a villager in Luoshan Village, everyone knows that Wang San lives in a farm outside now and doesn't come to the village at all.

How did it happen to bump into it today?

Wang San didn't know if he really didn't see the embarrassment on Boss Hu's face, or if he pretended not to see it, he just squeezed through the crowd and walked to the front to have a look, and said carelessly:
"If you can't do this, you have to pick a spot suitable for drainage, dig that spot first, drain some of the water, and then dig other places."
