My village can't be like this

Chapter 548 Notification
Seeing that his parents not only had no problem, but were very supportive, Zhang An felt numb.

"Dad, Mom, do you only care about how much I spent on buying a car? What if I spend all the money at home?"

Who knows how many brain cells he spent in the afternoon thinking of ways to persuade the two of them, but now he can't use them.

"Why are we asking this? Can today's car be a bargain? It must have cost a lot of money. Your dad and I have never been willing to spend a lot of money in our lives because it would make us feel distressed, so we simply didn't ask to avoid incurring any trouble for ourselves. I feel troubled, since my family’s money will be used by you in the future, and we won’t care if it runs out, you guys will find a way to live on your own.”

Before Zhang Jianguo could answer, Wang Fang glanced at Zhang An and said.

She is in a very good state of mind now. As long as she doesn't know about it, she will just pretend that it doesn't happen, and she won't feel troubled, so they won't take the initiative to make themselves uncomfortable by speaking out.

Moreover, the conditions at home are much better now than before. Even if Zhang An spends a lot of money to buy a car, it doesn't matter.

We have gone through all the hard times in the past, and no matter how bad things get now, we will never go back to the past.

"Your mother is right. Now you are in charge of this house. You can decide what to do. It's time for your mother and I to put down our courage and enjoy the happiness."

Compared with the days when they had to worry about how to live their family's life and how to spend every penny to get the most bang for their buck, Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang feel that now they only have to take care of their grandchildren all day long and don't need anything else. It is indeed more comfortable to live a life when you think about it.

Seeing that his parents really didn't take this matter to heart, Zhang An realized that his elders had really changed a lot.

But this is good. In the past, the two of them had already paid so much for this family.

In the days to come, let yourself take on the responsibility of being the head of the household.

The next morning, when Zhang An got up, Zhang Jianguo was already filling the fish pond at home, and Wang Fang was also carrying water in a bucket to water the vegetables in the field.

"Dad, our fish pond still has so much water, we don't need to put water in every day."

Although the water level in the fish pond has dropped a bit, it is not too serious and is still within the acceptable range.

"Anyway, it's nothing. While there is still water in the river, let's release more. No one can say when it will rain in this weather. If there is no water in the river in the future, you won't be able to release it if you want to. ”

Zhang Jianguo pays more attention to the fish pond at home than Zhang An, because he knows that most of the family's source of income really depends on this pond.

That's why he gets up early every morning and fills the fish pond with water.

What I'm afraid of is that when the river stops flowing and the water can't be released, the fish pond at home can survive a little longer.

Moreover, the temperature of the water put in in the morning is not high, unlike the river water that has been exposed to the sun at noon. It can feel hot to the touch, and the fish put in the pond cannot tolerate it.

Seeing this, Zhang An didn't have any objections. It was a good thing that they could find something to do to kill time now.

After all, Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang are not very old, so it will definitely not work if they are not allowed to do anything. They are not old ladies who are used to living in the city.

Then Zhang An returned to the house, and while his parents were not at home, he quickly filled the large water tank at home with space spring water.

Then he went to the pen and added some grass and water to the livestock at home.

After seeing Zhang An, the animals at home ate very deliciously whether they were eating grass or drinking water.

It's not because I haven't seen Zhang An for a few days and I miss him so much. Now that I see him, eating and drinking becomes more delicious.

It was because Zhang An was not at home these days, so Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang were feeding them.

So the grass they eat is ordinary grass and the water they drink is ordinary water.

How can it be like today when Zhang An came back and gave them all the green grass in space to eat and water from space springs to drink.

Including the big cat and the second cat in the leopard room, they were also fed two pieces of pork that Wang Fang had taken out of the freezer and thawed in the morning.

In the past few days when Zhang An was away from home, Zhang Jianguo had been feeding the two leopards.

Although the two leopards were very obedient, Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang were still quite scared.

So Zhang An opened a small opening in the window of the leopard room so that he could feed them from there.

After two days of feeding, Zhang Jianguo and Wang Fang found that the two leopards were indeed like two big cats, so they were no longer afraid of them.

"Zhang An, are you up? We are ready to go."

At this time, Zhang Jianwen had already come to call him.

"Come, come, uncle, wait a moment, I'll go tell my parents."

Zhang An called back to Zhang Jianwen in the yard, then ran to the back to tell Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo that he was going to follow them into the mountains to look for water today.

"How about I cook you a bowl of noodles later? How can you go into the mountains without eating anything when you get up?"

Wang Fang didn't object to Zhang An going into the mountains with her, but because Zhang An hadn't had breakfast when he got up in the morning, she was worried that Zhang An would be hungry later.

"It's okay, Mom. I won't be hungry when we go into the mountains. Besides, the mountains are full of corn now. If you're hungry, just break some and burn them. Besides, I'm not the only one."

Zhang An didn't feel hungry now, so he didn't bother his old mother. He found a pickaxe at home and prepared to go out to join everyone.

But before leaving, Wang Fang still asked him to bring some dry food, which was considered one of the few rice cakes at home.

Xiaohu was lying at the door of the pen with his eyes closed and taking a nap. When he heard the script of Zhang An going out, he immediately got up and followed him out.

Other big dogs also wanted to follow, but Zhang An called them to go home and stay.

This is not hunting in the mountains. There is no need to bring so many dogs into the mountains. One tiger cub is enough.

This time we went into the mountains to look for new water sources. We didn’t just run around after entering the mountains.

Instead, we looked for water sources based on where we had seen them in the mountains before.

Therefore, Zhang An did not make any suggestions, and for the time being, he will proceed according to everyone's planned plan.

It's a pity that I spent several hours searching in the mountains. Although I found many springs and water sources, basically none of them were usable.

Because most of the water sources have dried up, even if there is still water flowing out from a few places, after digging it open, the water flowing out is not as big as a child's urine.

In several places, the water flowing out is indeed quite large, but unfortunately, it cannot be used as drinking water.

Because the water flowing out of these places looks clear and clean, but in fact there are too many things in the water.

There is no need to find any instrument to detect it, you can tell it with the naked eye.

Because where the water flows out, a layer of yellow has formed. Needless to say, this must be coal rust water. There are too many places like this in the mountains.

It wasn't until one or two o'clock in the afternoon that everyone found a shady place to rest and prepare to get something to fill their stomachs.

It didn't take long for everyone to search and find a lot of branches.

Soon a small fire was lit, and everyone started roasting what they had brought, most of which were leftover rice cakes from the Chinese New Year. Zhang Jianwen also brought a lot of steamed buns, because he had to prepare dry food for the next few days as he was going into the mountains.

Of course, everyone did not let go of the edible corn in the fields.

Although it is not from their own home, they can eat a few of them so as not to waste them, and they can just talk about it when they return to the village.

This time, Zhang An did not let Xiaohu go hunting in the mountains because the streams in the mountains had dried up, so even if he hunted something, he would not be able to dispose of it.

I can only bake rice cakes and corns with everyone honestly.

"Uncle, I think there may be water somewhere. How about we go try it?"

Zhang An said to Zhang Jianwen while gnawing on the hot roasted corn.

Now I have searched all over the nearby mountains, but no new water sources have been found.

If you still want to continue searching, you can only go deep into the mountain.

Even if it was found at that time, it would be too far away from the village, and just burying the pipe would require a lot of financial and manpower.

So Zhang An decided that it was almost time to speak out.

"Oh? Where?"

Sure enough, when Zhang Jianwen heard this, he immediately asked seriously.

"There has been water leaking out of my old house since I was a child, year after year. I went to see it last night, and there was still water leaking out."

Originally, this water source did not need to be exposed so early. Even if no new water source could be found in the mountains, the water from the old well could be diverted for emergency use.

Although the location of the old well is relatively low, it leads to many places that are definitely inaccessible.

But if everyone thinks of ways, we can always solve it.

But now Zhang An wants the village to open up that water source, so that once the old well is opened, it can be kept.

And regardless of whether it is mountain spring water or underground water, it will become a mineral resource in a few years, and then it cannot be mined casually.

Instead of keeping it for later and being sold to mineral water companies, it is better for the village to mine it and use it.

"Where is your old house? I remember there seems to be a very big rock there. Can there be water there?"

Zhang Jianwen squinted his eyes and thought about it for a long time before he remembered the topography of Zhang An's old house.

"Yes, there is always water leaching out from under the stone in that corner, so there is water in the ditch in front of our house all year round."

Because when Zhang An's old house was built, the vegetable patch behind the house was completely blocked.

So all along, others thought the water in that ditch came from the mountains behind.

But only Zhang An knew that most of the water in the ditch leached out from under the stone.

"I think whether it is there or not, we should try it. If it is there, then we don't have to keep looking for it. If it isn't there, we will just lose some time."

"Yes, that's what you're talking about. We'll find out if there's water or not. We'll find out if there's water. Anyway, it only takes a while. It's also a waste of time that we ran around in the mountains for a long time without finding it."

After listening to Zhang An's words, Zhang Jianwen made a decision after only a brief consideration.

So everyone ate everything in their hands, put out the fire completely, covered it with a thick layer of mud, and then went down the mountain to the village.

"Village chief, have you found water?"

As soon as I entered the village, some villagers asked about it, because it is not a secret that the village has been looking for water in the past two days.

Now that they saw Zhang Jianwen and his party returning so early, they thought they had found a new water source.

"Not yet. We traveled to many places today. The places where there was water before are now dry. But we have made some new discoveries, so we came back to take a closer look."

Although Zhang Jianwen was talking to people on the street, he didn't stop walking at all and rushed towards Zhang An's old house.

Sure enough, when we arrived at the door of Zhang An's old house, there was still water flowing in the small ditch, although it was not very big.

Zhang Jianwen immediately followed the ditch and looked up. After spending some time digging out the weeds in the ditch, he found that there was indeed no water flowing down the upper half of the ditch. Now the water in the ditch comes from Zhang An's house. The huge rock behind the old house was leached out of the ground.

After Zhang An opened the door, Zhang Jianwen took the lead and went straight into the vegetable garden at the back door of the old house. The target was obvious, which was the big rock against the mountain.

After everyone spent some time digging directly into the underground circle of the entire rock wall, there was indeed water emerging from the bottom along the rock, and it was much larger than before.

"There is water. There must be water here, but I don't know how big it is."

Seeing this, Zhang Jianwen said very excitedly.

Although the water emerging here is only about the size of a thumb, it is not very big.

But after they had been searching in the mountains for so many days, there was no place with such a large amount of water.

"Uncle, I think there must be a spring under here, but it's just blocked by the rock. How about we break open it and take a look."

At this time, Zhang An suggested that in his impression, this was a very large underground water spring. Only after the rock was cut open would the water inside flow out.

"Okay, I'll go home and get the chisel and chisel, and I'll take a look at this place today, but you have to pay attention to the back door of your house from now on."

At this time, Zhang Jianwen did not doubt that he was there. After finally finding a place with water, he would not give up and would give it a try no matter what.

However, once this stone is cut, gaps will be exposed in the vegetable field behind Zhang An's old house and the back door of the house. In the future, the fence must be well protected and the door must be closed.

"This is not a big deal. Finding the water first is the most important thing."

Zhang An waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

Seeing that Zhang An had said this, Zhang Jianwen didn't show any pretense and went straight home to get tools for breaking rocks such as sledgehammers, chisels and chisels.

He was probably worried that he wouldn't be able to break through the big rock, so he brought two small pieces of very powerful pipes.

Nowadays, these things are not strictly controlled. They are used everywhere to dig mountains and extract rocks. It is not surprising that Zhang Jianwen can find this Zhang An.

Zhang Jianwen and his generation are very skilled at how to break large rocks.

First mark the route, then use chisels and chisels to dig out small holes, and put all the dozens of chisels in them.

Finally, use a sledgehammer to dig down all the chisels. No matter how big the stone is, it will crack along the row of chisels.
