Traveling through: I rely on space to raise the sick Wei Wang

Chapter 72 This is a Siphon Phenomenon
"Brush brush..."

Columns of living water gushed out like a fountain, followed the bamboos into the mud ditch, and flowed down the mud ditch into the ground.

Seeing this, everyone opened their mouths wide in shock, even Xu Laoqi, who had lived most of his life and had a lot of experience, didn't know how Xu Ruqing did it.

Old Seven Xu walked up behind Xu Ruqing with a hoe and asked, "Miss Xu, how did you use a bamboo tube to pump water up? This is too incredible!"

When Xu Ruqing heard the words, she turned her head and looked back, seeing the startled expressions of the villagers, which made her feel embarrassed: "It's nothing, I just use a very simple principle called siphon phenomenon."

Siphon phenomenon?

Wang Jiawei was listening, unconsciously repeating these four words.This is the second new vocabulary he has recognized today.

He couldn't help admiring Xu Ruqing even more in his heart. Princess Wei looked small, but she didn't expect to have such a great ability.

The big guys nodded half-understood, and praised Xu Ruqing's great skills: "Miss Xu is really good at it, she is worthy of being a big family in the city, she knows more than us country bumpkins at first glance."

"Yes, knowledge changes destiny. I will send my son to a private school in the spring of next year. People in our generation have suffered from not studying, and we will never be able to lift up in front of knowledgeable people for the rest of our lives. First of all, don't let the children follow us." Widow Li said.

"Hey, what you said, Widow Li, don't just love your son and not your daughter! Your second Nicole is much smarter than those boys in your family, and she is also the elder sister. In my opinion, your second Nicole should go It's best to study."

"Hey, haven't you heard that a woman's lack of talent is virtue? My daughter is a loser, and she will always marry off. My family doesn't have that much spare money. Of course, I can only support my two sons to study. I won't be so stupid Cultivate champions for others."

Everyone chattered, and many people privately laughed at the two women who were arguing endlessly.

Who in these ten miles and eight villages doesn't know that Aunt Wu is barren?Eight years ago, she picked up a baby girl, and she has been raising her as a son all these years. Others may not care about her, but she cares about her baby.

In fact, she was just jealous, she just didn't want to admit it, and she happened to meet Widow Li who was straight-hearted, so every time the two of them met, they would always have a few words.

"Just make it. When you get old, don't blame your Erni for not recognizing you."

"Bah." Widow Li spat: "You should take care of yourself first. Not having a son these days is tantamount to being extinct. Don't worry about me."

The others just watched the joke and didn't come out to persuade them. Xu Ruqing just smiled and didn't speak.

In ancient times when civilization was backward, especially in rural areas, this kind of patriarchal backward thinking was very common, and she was used to it.

Taking advantage of everyone's chatting time, after finishing the work just now, Xu Ruqing secretly led out spiritual spring water from the space and poured it into the well. This well is specially used for irrigation in this area. Now these lands belong to her. It saves a lot of labor, and there is no need to worry about it flowing into other people's fields and causing unnecessary suspicion.

Seeing that the two old women were about to get impatient, the older Xu Laoqi came out to smooth things over and said, "Okay, can you two calm down a bit, and let Mrs. Xu see the joke."

Someone followed suit and said, "That's right, we are all praising Mrs. Xu for her great abilities. Widow Li is good for you. If you keep saying that your daughter is a loser, what will Mrs. Xu think?"

Widow Li closed her mouth resentfully when she heard the words, and muttered: "I didn't mention Mrs. Xu, and besides, the one surnamed Wu didn't pick it up first, otherwise I would be like this."

"It's because Mrs. Xu doesn't care about you, otherwise, where would you find such a good job?"

Although there was a lot of dissatisfaction in her heart when she heard this, Widow Li still shut her mouth wisely, and she didn't forget to give Aunt Wu a look before that.

Xu Ruqing just listened, and let them laugh for a while, seeing that things were almost done, then cleared his throat and said: "Fellow folks, today's work is enough, everyone should call it a day and go home. "

The noisy laughter stopped abruptly, and everyone looked at Xu Ruqing with surprise.

"Miss Xu, don't tell me you don't need our help anymore?"

One person couldn't help asking, and the other people were in the same mood as him, hanging in anxiety.

No one knew if what he said was wrong just now, they all looked at each other and didn't know how to calm her down.

Especially Aunt Wu and Widow Li, they knew that if they angered Xu Ruqing because of their bickering just now, then the loss outweighed the gain!

Widow Li hurriedly said: "Miss Xu, we were just joking around, so don't take it to your heart when you say something unpleasant."

"Yes, sister Li and I have been arguing for almost ten years. We both have disagreements, and it's not against you. Please don't quit us."

The villagers here all understand that Xu Ruqing is generous, kind and easy-going. Compared to being exploited by Wang Houxiang and only being able to feed and clothe the family, it is better to rely on her and have some surplus to make money to subsidize the family.

Xu Ruqing looked at the nervous crowd and didn't realize it for a while, but when she did, she couldn't help but laugh.

"Everyone misunderstood, I just think that the land is almost completely watered, so..." Xu Ruqing suddenly didn't know how to go on.

Wang Jiawei saw Xu Ruqing's embarrassment, so he helped to explain: "Madam is just giving you more time to rest, it's not that I don't want to hire you, don't think too much about it."

Everyone around Xu Ruqing said so, and everyone put their hearts back into their stomachs.

"Brother Wang is right, that's what I mean. I won't be here for the next few days, and I want to take advantage of the afternoon to take a look around. Everyone is working hard today, and the amount of work is far beyond my expectations. Let's go back and rest. , It’s not too late to resume work tomorrow.”

Xu Ruqing nodded, and his words reassured everyone, and they regained their smiles, and a big stone in their hearts fell to the ground.

"No more, no more, Mrs. Xu, the salary you give is that we will not lose money if we do another back and forth."

"Hahaha, yes, I am willing to let me stay in the field."

Someone said something, and it immediately caused a burst of laughter.Everyone laughed and echoed, and the atmosphere was so harmonious that people couldn't bear to interrupt.

Xu Laoqi said: "In this case, I will thank Mrs. Xu here. We will go to work on time tomorrow morning, and we will never hesitate."
