Chapter 30 Digging the Ditch
Chapter 30 Digging the Ditch
Old Man Yue really wasn't bragging.
After Yue Mingzhu woke up, she read the books of her third brother Yue Mingxuan when she had nothing to do. If she didn't have enough books, she asked her third brother to borrow them from the bookstore. After adding a few cents to the deposit, she could borrow a book.
There are many kinds, and Yue Mingzhu has dabbled in all kinds of them.
Not only that, she also practiced calligraphy every day. The handwriting was majestic and majestic. I wonder if it was due to her natural strength and strength. Looking at the handwriting, you couldn't tell that it was written by a woman. It was so powerful that even her three brothers were ashamed.
Seeing how hard his sister, a woman who didn't have to take the imperial examination, worked so hard, he couldn't be too far behind her. Therefore, after Yue Mingxuan came home from school every day, he hardly left the house except to eat and go to the toilet. He stayed up until midnight every night. Recently, Yue Mingxuan We use a lot of lamp oil at home.
The hard work has paid off. Recently, his husband has praised him for improving his studies. If he keeps going like this, he will definitely be among the best in the scholar examination next year.
Yue Mingzhu was afraid that his third brother's eyes would be damaged, so he specially taught his third brother eye exercises.
There were no glasses in this era. If your eyes were damaged, no matter how good you were in reading, it would be inconvenient to be an official in the future.
Yue Mingxuan knew the severity and massaged it according to the method taught by his sister. As expected, his eyes were no longer so tired.
His sister is really his lucky star, so he should be better to her.
He secretly vowed in his heart that he must study hard and go to high school as soon as possible, so that he can protect his sister, marry well in the future, become his sister's confidence and support, and not be punished after marrying.
So he stayed up even later. When his family got up at night, they often saw the lights on in his house.
It was so hard, and the two sisters-in-law were particularly distressed. They often got up in the middle of the night to make supper for him. Even though they ate like this, Yue Mingxuan still lost weight.
Mrs. Wang also felt distressed. After all, her son was her own and was not brought by the strong wind. She told Yue Mingxuan not to work so hard, as his health was the most important thing.
Yue Mingzhu looked at her third brother as if he was a senior high school student preparing for the exam. She understood the urgency and anxiety and couldn't fall asleep even if he lay in bed, so she didn't say much.
Young people are in good health and can endure very long periods of time. Their bodies do not break down easily. They just need to pay attention to their nutrition. After all, there are so many high school students who endure the illness and no one suffers from it.
If you don't work hard when you are young, when will you work hard? Everyone, roll up. As long as you can't die, roll up to death.
The village chief couldn't hold back any longer, and hit Old Yue on the back of his head with a "pop", "I've tolerated you for a long time. I know your child's future, so you can stop showing off, okay? Don't let anyone else do it." Alive.”
Old Man Yue was happy and didn't care about the village chief. He was just jealous. Hey, he understood.
My daughter said that jealousy makes people ugly and jealousy makes people crazy. He is generous and does not care about the ugly and crazy old man.
The two old men had had enough trouble, and the village chief organized his men to go up the mountain again.
The village chief is the local emperor of the village. Many things have to be done through the village chief. Therefore, the village chief has absolute authority in the village. He only gives an order and exerts some effort. Except for a few people, he hardly says anything.
The village chief had thought about it in advance. If the stone wall could be cut through, spring water would flow everywhere, not to mention wasting water, and the surrounding area would be very muddy, making it impossible to get water.
In order to avoid this disorderly situation, ditches must be dug first to allow the spring water flowing out to have a place to hold.
There is no need to dig to the foot of the mountain at once, just dig a section first, and then continue digging after the stone wall is broken.Just do it. When we arrived at the water source, the village chief ordered the excavation. These people were all good hands who were used to doing the work. They had more people and more strength. It only took an hour to dig more than ten feet.
The village chief asked people to cut down some surrounding trees to avoid causing forest fires when the fire was started.
The stone wall is thick and hard. It is not the kind of stone used in previous experiments. It will take a while to burn.
It burned for about an hour. The village chief asked a few strong men to quickly pour the water prepared in advance on the stone wall.
As a result, the stone wall was too thick and hard, and only part of it was broken. This gave everyone hope and continued to light fires and splash water.
After several rounds, a big hole was finally opened in the stone wall, and spring water surged out. Everyone cheered, and some even cried, they were finally saved.
At this time, the ditch had been dug for dozens of feet, so there was no need to worry about water flowing everywhere. It was already dark, and they were all illuminated by torches. Everyone was exhausted from the hard work, but fortunately the afternoon was not in vain.
Tomorrow, call all the men in the village to dig together. After a few days of digging, we will dig to the bottom of the mountain. If we dig for a few more days, we will be connected to the big river in the village. Even if we are done, it will be convenient for the villagers to collect water and water the fields. No need to worry about water anymore.
There were many people going up the mountain today, and the village chief didn't tell anyone not to tell anyone about the water source. Everyone told their families about it when they got home.
Many elderly people, women and children also want to dig ditches. No matter how strong they are, more people will have more strength. It will be beneficial to everyone to dig the ditches as soon as possible.
There are also families who don’t want anyone to dig trenches, like the Zhang family.
The village chief asked people to go door-to-door to inform them about digging ditches in the mountains tomorrow. This is a major event in the village and every household should be notified.
In fact, even if the village chief does not notify, most villagers will spontaneously go up the mountain. The notification is just a routine matter. When the person responsible for the notification goes to every house, everyone will readily comply.
Only when Mrs. Zhang was informed, Mrs. Zhang looked embarrassed.
"Pengfei and I are the only ones in our family. I am a woman. Pengfei is still a child and has to study. It's not that we are unwilling to contribute, but we really can't spare the manpower." Ms. Zhang felt aggrieved and pitiful.
The person in charge of delivering the letter felt a sense of contempt in his heart. He had just gone to deliver a letter to an old woman with a five-year-old grandson. Everyone happily agreed.
Why can't I go to your house? You are a woman, but you are only in your thirties. Women of this age in the village are the best at work.
Besides, Yue Pengfei is already fifteen this year. He is a young man. He is old enough to serve as a soldier. He still has a child and wants to study. Does your family need water?
The person in charge of delivering the letter was too lazy to talk to Mrs. Zhang. He was a grown man and couldn't talk to a widow, and he didn't want to offend her. If Yue Pengfei really went to high school, wouldn't this offend someone for nothing? Leave it alone, he As long as the notification arrives, there is a lot of work to do anyway, and there is no shortage of her family, so do whatever you like.
After delivering a circle of letters, when he went to report to the village chief, he still told the matter to the village chief, who waved his hands and said nothing.
The village is so big, what kind of people don't exist? If the village chief is always angry about this kind of thing, then he doesn't have to do anything serious.
Zhang's mother and son didn't go up the mountain to dig ditches, and he, the village chief, didn't need to teach them a lesson. Just the saliva of the women in the village could drown Zhang, and she couldn't help but come.
Being a village chief also requires wisdom. You can't ignore it, and you can't take care of everything. If the villagers can solve it by themselves, they can solve it themselves. If they really can't solve it, he will go up. Otherwise, if something happens, he will rush to it without dying from exhaustion. he.
