If you want to make a paddy field, you need a lot of water. There is no well in the neighbor's yard, so if you want to fill the paddy field with water, you can only rely on Jiang Yan's well water.

Compared with cities, there are always more tools in rural homes, such as water pipes that are several centimeters wide. It takes a lot of effort to find them in cities, but in rural areas, they are found almost every other house. Yes, and the purpose is very simple, watering the vegetable garden at home.

Along the wall, Jiang Yan threw the water pipe to the neighboring garden. Fortunately, the distance between his house and his neighbor's house was not long, and the well was more eastward, otherwise the water pipe might not be long enough.

Deciding that the distance was enough, Jiang Yan climbed to the wall and put away the water pipe, then returned to the farmhouse and prepared to sleep.

The next day.

After three shots in the sun, Jiang Yan and the others were finally awakened by the dazzling sunlight outside the window. After a quick wash, Jiang Yan held the water pipe and started laying it out from the well.

Jiang Yan did not insert the water pipe into the well, otherwise the length of the water pipe would not be enough. He took out the large iron basin used for bathing before, Jiang Yan filled it with a basin of water, and asked Lu Lili to go to the neighboring garden to hold the water pipe. Jiang Yan inserted the water pipe into the iron basin.

"Um, Sister Yan, it seems like you can't water the water this way." After looking at the trend of the water pipes, Lu Linlin reminded awkwardly.

Hearing Lu Linlin's voice, Jiang Yan, who was squatting next to the basin, raised her head. Following Lu Linlin's gaze, Jiang Yan found with embarrassment that she was doing useless work at this moment.

The water pipe extends from the well, all the way east across the two-meter-high brick wall, and then drops to the flat greenhouse. With such a height difference, it is impossible for water to flow.

"Um, how about digging a hole in the corner?" Lu Linlin on the side put forward her own idea.

Hearing this, Jiang Yan touched her bare chin, observed the brick wall seriously, and nodded after a moment.

The emergence of new ideas made Jiang Yan put down the water pipe in his hand and took out the tools in the storage room. Jiang Yan squatted by the wall and began to dig out the base of the wall.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

The foundation of the brick wall is made of the hardest stone. It is impossible to dig a hole in it, so Jiang Yan took out a hammer and chisel and aimed at the red bricks on the wall.

Decades passed, and the red bricks on the wall began to withstand the abuse. After squatting on the ground and knocking for a long time, Jiang Yan finally knocked out a small hole big enough to accommodate the water pipe.

"I'll throw all the water pipes over, and then you insert the beginning part through this hole." Jiang Yan looked at Lu Lili on the other side of the hole and said as if making a phone call.

"You don't have to be so loud, the distance between us is not more than 10 centimeters."

Rubbing her ears, Lu Lili took the water pipe thrown from the wall and found the head of the pipe. Lu Lili inserted the water pipe head into the hole in the wall.

Grabbing the water pipe handed over by Lu Lili, Jiang Yan inserted it into the basin.

"Do you have water over there?" Jiang Yan shouted to Lu Lili, watching the water in the water pipe flowing to the neighboring garden.

"No."

However, after waiting for half a year, there was no water coming from Lu Lili's side, and the well water just stayed in the pipe.

Hearing this, Jiang Yan immediately realized the problem and asked Lu Linlin to hold the water pipe. Jiang Yan came to Lu Lili's side in a few steps.

Seeing three or two drops of water flowing out of the water pipe, Jiang Yan picked up the water pipe, put it on her mouth, and then sucked hard.

The strong suction force creates different pressures on both sides of the water pipe. With this unequal pressure, the water on the other side of the water pipe is instantly pumped to this side.

"Wow hoo hoo!"

In just a few strokes, the well water surged out. Seeing this, Lu Lili was surprised and happy. She looked at Jiang Yan dancing excitedly.

"Sister Yan, how did you do this?" Holding the water pipe, Jiang Yan looked at the surging water pouring into the ground, and then raised her head.

"I don't know, maybe it's siphoning. It doesn't matter. You go back and get the well water into the basin."

After hearing Jiang Yan's instructions, Lu Lili jumped to the farm. Watching the water in the basin drop rapidly, she hurriedly took a basket of water from the well and poured it into the basin.

With the irrigation of well water, the paddy field in the greenhouse gradually took on a real look. The three of them worked together all morning, and the paddy field in the greenhouse was finally completed.

After putting away the water pipe, Jiang Yan returned to the farm with her shoes. After working for nearly ten days, the greenhouse was finally completed.

Walking to the well, Jiang Yan lowered her head and observed the water level in the well. However, as her eyes gathered, Jiang Yan discovered that the water in the well was almost invisible.

"This..."

Scratching his head in embarrassment, Jiang Yan suddenly didn't know what to do. Although the paddy fields had been irrigated, there was no water to eat at home. Looking at his muddy feet, Jiang Yan sat on a chair and thought about countermeasures.

"what happened?"

Lu Linlin on the side took out the rice seedlings placed in the farmhouse and wanted to move them to the greenhouse.

"Don't move it there yet. The water is too cold now. It will die immediately if you plant it. Wait for a day and then plant these rice tomorrow."

After stopping Lu Linlin's movements, Jiang Yan lay down on a chair and recalled the memories of his childhood.

Although wells are common in rural areas, not every household has one. Just like this neighbor, his house does not have a well. So whenever the water is cut off, the old lady at home has to carry a bucket to get ginger smoke. Fetch water from home.

Now, in order to build paddy fields, 9% of the water in the wells has disappeared. If you want to use water, you can only go to your neighbor's house to fetch water.

"Whose house has a well?"

Jiang Yan scratched his head and thought deeply, then suddenly remembered after a moment.

"Old Zhou's family has a well!"

Thinking of this, Jiang Yan put on slippers and called everyone to carry buckets to the neighbor's house not far away.

Lao Zhou's house is diagonally opposite Jiang Yan's house, not too far away. I remember that when I was a child, Lao Zhou's aunt was often abused at home. At that time, Jiang Yan was only six or seven years old and didn't understand this. Looking back now Getting up, Jiang Yan couldn't help but curse in her heart.

Going around the backyard of Lao Zhou's house, Jiang Yan found a water well in the yard without entering the latter's farmhouse. Jiang Yan tested the sturdiness of the tools, then fished out the water tower and started fetching water.

After working for more than ten minutes, Jiang Yan finally brought back the water he needed for the day. After briefly washing his legs and feet, Jiang Yan lay down on a chair and enjoyed the tranquility of the afternoon.

This is the good thing about being a farmer. The necessary work is done, there is no need for meaningless overtime, and you can rest anytime and anywhere.

Picking up the habit of taking a nap again, Jiang Yan hugged Kaka and basked in the sun on the lounge chair. The warm wind blew by, and the shaggy Kaka was finally awakened by the heat. Then he broke away from Jiang Yan's arms and walked to Zhao Dabai's side in confusion. Next to him, he leaned on the latter and fell asleep again.

Lu Linlin, on the other hand, was holding the book and studying the contents. From this point of view, Lu Linlin was somewhat similar to Gao Chou.

"Sister Yan, it's time to eat."

After closing the last page, Lu Linlin looked at the time on the sundial. It was now three o'clock in the afternoon, and the three of them were already hungry after a busy day.
