A farmer's fierce wife

Chapter 38 Water Pipes
Brother Ye had no doubts, Nanfeng would always do something beyond his expectations, and she seemed confident, so he followed her.

Before Nanfeng went to the river, he first cut a large piece of bamboo and drilled a hole in the middle of the bamboo, so that the bamboo became a long pipe.

She had seen a short story about Su Dongpo on TV before: During the Northern Song Dynasty, Su Dongpo wrote a letter to Deng Shouan in Guangzhou, and the letter mentioned the issue of shutting down Guangzhou's water supply.Later, Deng Shouan used [-] bamboos to invent a water supply system for Guangzhou, which solved the water supply problem in Guangzhou.

Nanfeng felt that this could be emulated.

Then Nanfeng went to the river, inserted one end of the bamboo pipe into the river, and kept pumping air from the other end with his hands. After the air was exhausted, water sprayed out from the other end.

Ye Ge saw this, and there was a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Nan Feng smiled triumphantly at him: "See how clever I am? This is what I thought of all of a sudden."

Brother Ye nodded, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Are you trying to divert the water from the river to the vegetable fields through bamboo pipes?"

"That's right!"

Brother Ye discussed with her: "If that's the case, a lot of bamboo will have to be cut, and bamboos of similar size must be found so that the water can pass through smoothly."

"That's it. It's enough to cut a hundred bamboos of about the same size. This is called a water pipe. Also, the water pipe cannot be exposed outside, so we need to dig a channel on the ground and bury the water pipe in the ground," Nan Feng said. In one breath, she spoke out her plan.

Brother Ye said again: "It will take a lot of time, and I'm afraid it can't be done with your own strength."

Nanfeng blinked: "Isn't there still you here? The vegetable fields of our two families are close to each other. After the water pipes are built, your home can also use them. Then everyone won't have to carry water. From now on, the vegetable fields will be I can leave it to my father to take care of it, and I can concentrate more on hunting to make money, it’s a once-and-for-all thing.”

Brother Ye agreed without hesitation: "Okay, then I will be in charge of cutting bamboo, and you will be in charge of finding ways to build water pipes."

Nanfeng and Brother Ye didn't know that when they were discussing the terrain and the size of the bamboo, the nearby villagers were watching them all the time, but because they were too focused on the discussion, they didn't care even if they saw it.

……

The two of them did what they said, and Brother Tianye went to chop bamboos. His efficiency was extremely fast, and a hundred bamboos of the same size were chopped back from the mountain in just two days, which shocked Nanfeng very much.

But then Nanfeng began to worry again.

After all, it is a bamboo tube, which cannot be welded or melted. How can a hundred bamboo tubes be connected together without a single gap?
She told Brother Ye about her doubts, but seeing that it was getting late, they had to make an appointment to come back the next day.

……

Nanfeng and Brother Ye have been working on water diversion in the vegetable field for the past few days. At first, they only attracted the villagers to watch curiously, but gradually more and more people came to watch.

First, Aunt Sima, who came to drench the vegetable field, asked, "Girl Feng, what are you doing?"

Nanfeng said: "We need to divert the water from the river to the vegetable field, so that we don't have to work hard to carry water in the future."

Aunt Sima questioned: "Is this okay?"

"Well," Nanfeng said without raising his head, "Aunt Sima, after my water pipe is ready, you can go to the pool in our vegetable field to scoop water in the future, so you don't have to work so hard to carry water."

Aunt Sima had no choice but to say, "Let's talk about it after you make it."

Aunt Sima was obviously skeptical: "Girl Feng, arrange your bamboos better so they don't overwhelm the cabbage seedlings in my field."

"..."

After Aunt Sima came, Aunt Lan also came to ask, followed by Nan Quanyou, Master Zhou...
