Chapter 144 Water Problem
Early the next morning, Master Zhang, who was drilling the well, brought his team to Jintan Village.

Everyone in the village looked at Master Zhang who came with all kinds of machines, and couldn't help wondering why they came here.

Zhao Shucheng got up early. Ever since he learned that Li Shuihua might be pregnant, he checked his own pulse and found that it was true.He felt that Li Shuihua had suffered from suffering and poverty all these years, and his health must not be very good, so he planned to make Shuihua eat better and supplement enough nutrition by himself.

He also saw Master Zhang coming, and took Master Zhang directly to the place where Jintan Village planned to drill the mechanical well before, and said:

"Master Zhang, this is the place where our village drills a well. You can start working here. By the way, have you had breakfast?"

Master Zhang took a look at the place and found that most of the place was sandy and gravel. No one knew what was going on underground, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"We've eaten that Yongfu. Let's agree first, this place was chosen by you, and if the water cannot be pumped within tens of meters, we still have to pay the money."

Zhao Shucheng had no objection to this. He had used the dragon ruler to tentatively search for water sources before, and found that there was a high possibility of water in this place, otherwise he would not have brought Master Zhang here to dig a well.

"Master Zhang, don't worry, we don't blame you if the water comes out."

Only then did Master Zhang heave a sigh of relief, and ordered his servants to start working, preparing to drill the well as soon as possible.

Ma Defu and the others also gathered around outside. When they saw the construction team starting work, they couldn't help but surrounded Zhao Shucheng and asked, "Yongfu, what, are you planning to build a mechanical well?"

"That's it, I dictated it. Shuihua wrote an article and sent it to a magazine in Beijing. They accepted it and sent me a few thousand yuan for the manuscript. I figured it's not easy for us to get a living here, so let Master Zhang Give us a motorized well, no matter whether the electricity is connected or not, at least we can drink water."

"When we get electricity here in the future, we will buy another sewage pump, and then our problem of watering the ground will be solved. But then every household will have to pay according to the electricity meter, and we cannot default."

Li Dayou said directly and excitedly: "Yongfu, don't worry, we will definitely pay the electricity bill, yours must be much cheaper than other mechanized wells. Besides, you didn't let everyone pay for your mechanized well, and everyone definitely can't let you free."

"Yes, the Russians are definitely willing to pay for electricity."

"That's fine. I thought about this machine well. If it is really connected to electricity, I will directly pay for it and build it into a water tower. At that time, every household can use tap water."

Zhao Shucheng got excited as he talked, and directly promised that he could use tap water.

Li Dayou couldn't help hesitating for a moment, and asked, "Yongfu, what is the price of the tap water? It's still free, isn't it?"

"That's definitely not possible, but the amount of money required is not too much. When the time comes, we will see how much electricity is used, and then it will be distributed equally. But what I said is that if someone has tap water, he will ignore it and just treat it as watering the ground." If you use the water indiscriminately, you will be scolded when the time comes."

"That's impossible. We all know that water is precious, so we won't let it go to waste."

"That is, whoever does this is not from our Jintan village."

"Yes, Yongfu, you don't need to show up at that time, let's shame him to the immortal."

Only then did Zhao Shucheng feel relieved, and said: "That's okay, all uncles and uncles, you are here looking at the machine well. Our family's Shuihua is not feeling well. I want to take her to the hospital."

"Okay, don't worry, we must look at Jijing, this is our lifeblood, dear."

Only then did Zhao Shucheng leave in peace of mind. Before leaving, he explained to Ma Defu that Defu brought people to prepare the well drilling team's lunch, and paid for it after Zhao Shucheng and Li Shuihua came back.

Ma Defu said unhappily: "What are you talking about? You helped us drill wells and asked you to take care of the food and drink of the drilling team. Aren't you humiliating us? We take care of their lunch, you don't have to worry about it." .”

Zhao Shucheng saw that everyone else meant the same thing, so he didn't worry about the lunch issue. Anyway, he didn't have much money. If it didn't work out, he would just water the ground for free for the first time.

After Zhao Shucheng took Li Shuihua to the county hospital for examination, she found out that she was really pregnant.

Li Shuihua kept stroking her stomach as if in a dream, as if she was pregnant with Liujia now.She involuntarily began to avoid the crowd, for fear that she would be bumped into.

Zhao Shucheng was also generous once in a while, and went straight back to Jintan Village by car.

Director An happened to be back in Jintan Village today. When he saw Ernst & Young Fu and Li Shuihua, he couldn't help but say, "Yongfu, I heard that you paid for this motorized well?"

"Yes uncle, I have a story in my mind. I asked Shuihua to write it and send it to the magazine, and they accepted it. Our village lacks water, so I used the manuscript fee to dig a well."

Director An was very happy when he heard it, and said, "Well, well, our family is considered a scholar. Later, you hand over the magazine to me, and I want the fairies to read it."

"I see, Uncle, I'll give it to you later."

Director An just came back to his senses, looked at Zhao Shucheng and Li Shuihua, and asked, "I heard that Shuihua is not feeling well, are you okay?"

Zhao Shucheng said proudly: "It's okay, Shuihua is pregnant."

"Okay, okay, you're pregnant, it's a good thing to spread the branches and leaves for our family. No, you must tell your uncle when you go back, so that he can do it easier."

"Yes, when the time comes, uncle, please tell the villagers that we will not go back to celebrate the New Year this year. Shuihua has a body, so I dare not let her be so bumpy."

The smile on Director An's face slowly dissipated, and it took a while before he said: "This matter is difficult to handle. In the past, everyone in our village returned to the village to celebrate the New Year except those who were out of town, and worshiped ancestors together. But your situation is also special. One time, no next time. When Water Peanut gives birth, you must take it back and tell the immortals, lest the immortals blame us."

"I see, Uncle."

Zhao Shucheng agreed, but he had no objection to it, although ancestor worship was somewhat backward and feudal.

Ancestor worship is actually a ritual, a communication between humans and immortals, and a way of expressing self-identity.For a nation, worshiping ancestors is to trace the origin.Through ancestor worship, one finds one's own roots, one's own identity and particularity.Why do overseas Chinese mention the descendants of Yan and Huang, the descendants of the dragon, and they will feel proud when they hear that men should be self-improving, because these elements remind them that they are descendants of Yan and Huang, and as individuals, they are like our ancestors in history. is connected.

Although Chinese people believe in immortals and gods, they are still different from Western religions.The beliefs of Chinese people are not pure. They may believe in Buddhism, but they also believe in Taoism. Similarly, Western gods are also acceptable.

In the eyes of Chinese people, the relationship between man and heaven has never been static, and there is both cooperation and struggle.In the ancient mythology, if the sky leaks, we will refine stones to mend the sky. When the great flood comes, we will find ways to control the flood. Then there is Dayu to control the flood. There are nine days in the sky that make people unable to live, so there is Hou Yi shooting the sun.These stories on May [-]st do not tell us that in the face of disasters, China has never relied on any gods and Buddhas for help, but instead relies on human beings to change.

The same myths and legends, but the West completely shelters itself in the gods.In the era of the Great Flood, Noah's Ark in the West only chose to avoid the damage of the flood, but did not think about saving more people, which revealed their selfish nature.

It's a bit too much to say, the book returns to the main story.

Worshiping ancestors is a manifestation of Chinese etiquette. Worshiping ancestors has a good social enlightenment effect, which helps to cultivate Chinese morality, strengthen the unity of family members, and fight against external aggression together.

It's actually a pity that Zhao Shucheng missed this year's Anjia ancestor worship. After all, only in places like Kushui Village can many ancient etiquettes be passed down.Although he was injected with a lot of Ernst & Young Fu's memories by the system, he was not as impressed by what he saw with his own eyes.

Two days passed, and the well finally came out of water.

This may be connected to groundwater, so when the water comes out, it gushes out directly.

The villagers immediately cheered excitedly when they saw the water coming out of the motorized well, and they no longer had to worry about running out of water for the seedlings in the field.

Zhao Shucheng also saw the picture of water coming out of the machine well, and walked around a few times holding the water flower. As long as there is water, Jintan Village can develop well, better than other resettlement sites.

After Zhao Shucheng settled the bill with Master Zhang, he said, "Master Zhang, thanks to you, we will contact you when we need it."

"Don't worry about that. If you want to dig a well in your village, just ask me."

Master Zhang has had enough to eat and drink in Jintan Village these two days. Although the conditions are more difficult, he feels completely different.

With the passage of time, the well slowly returned to normal. The water level was tens of meters underground, and it was simply unrealistic to simply fetch water with a bucket.

Zhao Shucheng found that the water use was really one problem after another, and the problem of how to get water still needs to be solved when there is an organic well.

Now there is no electricity in the village, so it is unrealistic to use electric water pumps, even the windmill at home can't provide much electricity.

Thinking of the kind of pressurized wells in the countryside before, Zhao Shucheng decided to try it, maybe it would really work.Just in order to prepare for the tap water, I got a lot of plastic pipes, the length is enough to meet the current needs, and what I have to do now is to pump water.

Zhao Shucheng began to work alone. He didn't have the time to design a water press, so he directly modified a blower and connected it to the water pipe, the original water pump.

This thing is very difficult to use, but it finally works, and the villagers are excited to drink water.

Zhao Shucheng said to Ma Defu: "Defu, we have water again now. The most important thing right now is the electricity problem. As long as there is a little bit, we can pump water to irrigate the land. You can urge Director Zhang. Diaozhuang households are assigned to our village."

"If our village develops well, it will also be a publicity to other immigrants, and the enthusiasm of immigrants will be even higher in the future."

Ma Defu thought for a while, and said: "Okay, I will tell the director.
