The peasant daughter of the crossing

Chapter 61

"Ah! Really!" Ruhua was as happy as a child as if she had found a treasure.

Xiaobao really cooperated at this time, "Mother, mother, come quickly! This one is so cool." It turned out that Xiaobao was a little thirsty when he climbed the mountain just now, so he drank water by himself when he went up the mountain.

Ruhua told Xiaobao a few words and was ready to discuss her ideas with Sanlang. After all, she still didn't have such a good ability to dig a canal to get out.

"Sanlang, look at how we bring the water from this ditch to our home down the mountain." Ruhua said in a soft voice, which sounded very pleasant.

"Lead down the mountain?" Sanlang somewhat understood Ru Hua's idea, but if this canal was dug down, how much effort would it take!
Seeing Saburo's embarrassed expression, Ruhua said, "What's the matter, is it difficult?"

"It's not difficult, but it's not difficult to dig it like this, not to mention how much labor it will cost. Even if the water flows through it, a large part will be lost, and there will not be much at the bottom of the mountain." Jing Sanlang reminded that Ruhua is the I feel that my thinking is too naive. Just now I was still complaining about the long distance and difficult climbing. It will be difficult to dig a canal now!
At noon, she was still secretly delighted with her thoughts, but at this time she was like a deflated balloon, gone.

At first, Ruhua thought about it, if she wanted to build a new house in the future, she would definitely find an open space around the current one, so that the energy of digging the canal would not be wasted, but now that she heard Saburo's reminder, she really I feel so difficult!
But there is nothing difficult in the world if you put your heart into it.

"Sanlang, then tell me if we can lead you down the mountain?" Never give up until the last moment, this is Ruhua's famous saying!
"Yes! Why not?" Although Saburo knew the difficulty of digging the canal, he still believed that it would be successful.

The distance from the ditch to the bottom of the mountain is only a few hundred meters. Just now, Ruhua felt that the reason why climbing the mountain was tiring, but a large part of it was caused by the winding mountain road, so it was so tiring. Therefore, it should not be difficult to repair this canal. It's hard.If there are fewer people, you may have to thank the days to succeed.

When going down the mountain, Ruhua also discussed it with Saburo, and decided to start digging the canal tomorrow.And Ruhua also thought of hollowing out the middle of the old bamboo on the mountain and using it as a water pipe. After asking Saburo about the feasibility of this method, she knew that Saburo could still do this, but the time was a bit slower.Regardless of whether it will happen sooner or later, as long as it succeeds, it is a good thing.

Now that the decision was made, it was not too early, and the three of them began to descend the mountain.

Originally, Xiaobao didn't pick up much firewood from his back basket, but Xiaobao's eyes were too big, so he asked for some from his father's back basket to fill the whole basket. It was too heavy to carry, so in the end Ruhua had to carry Xiaobao's pannier on her back.Ruhua, who was carrying a basket on her back, felt a little sad, Xiaobao, you are messing with your mother!
On the second day, early in the morning, before the scorching sun came out, the family of three ate breakfast hastily, and started yesterday's plan to dig a canal.

Bring a hoe and sickle, and the work begins.

But after a few hours, the sun became poisonous, and the canal was only dug for more than [-] meters, which made Ruhua feel a little frustrated.Why!This physical work is really difficult!
But fortunately, there is finally progress.But now the sun is poisonous, so I have to stop work, or else I will suffer from heat stroke, and I will go out for the rest. When I go home, Sanlang takes a look at a few old bamboos on the mountain, and prepares to take a break. Try yesterday's Ruhua's suggestion when I get home.

Back home, Saburo started to work.And Ruhua is also preparing lunch. She sweated a lot this day, so it’s okay not to eat better, but it’s okay to cook too greasy. Hey, it’s really a study.

Ruhua took out the flour she didn't eat yesterday, and added last night's fermentation, it was almost done, but she was worried, she didn't know how to pull noodles, so she was counting on Saburo again.Saburo put down the work in his hands, hurried into the kitchen, washed his hands and started pulling noodles.

I have to say that Saburo's noodle-pulling skills are really good. Ruhua only saw that the dough turned into thin and long noodles in his hands without much shaking.As soon as Sanlang ramen was ready, Ruhua put it in the pot.I hurriedly cut some seasonings that will be used later, waited for the ramen to be boiled, Ruhua boiled the water in the pot, and then put some oil in it, and when the oil was warmed up, I put the seasonings into the pot to burst After frying, Ruhua put some leftover pig offal into the pot, and after a while, the pot was full of fragrance.

Pour the soup in the pot over the ramen noodles, and the lunch is settled.While cooking, Ruhua also brought the cold porridge from the small pot in the water tank to the dining table by the way. Drinking a bowl of cold porridge at this time is very delicious.

A few people gathered around a small table to eat, although it was not a delicacy, but Ruhua felt that such a day was quite nourishing.

Because at this time, somewhere in my heart is full of something called happiness.

"Xiaobao, look, the rice grains are on the corner of his mouth again, I've told you many times, eat slowly." Ruhua put down the bowl and reprimanded softly.But even so, Xiaobao still smiled and moved his head closer, Ruhua had no choice but to reach out and wipe the rice off the corner of Xiaobao's mouth.

"Eh! Mother, you are still talking about Xiaobao, there are grains of rice in the corner of your mouth." Xiaobao suddenly raised his head, and saw that there was a grain of rice in the corner of his mother's mouth, and immediately cried out as if he had discovered a new world.

"Where?" Ruhua couldn't find it after touching it for a long time, "Xiaobao, tell me where it is?"

"Here." San Lang stretched out his hand and immediately removed the rice grains on her left cheek, and for the sake of not wasting food, San Lang stuffed the rice grains into his mouth again.

Ruhua could only be surprised when she saw Sanlang's flowing movements.

After more than ten days, Ruhua felt that she was about to come from Africa, but fortunately, most of the construction of the canal had been completed, and Shiro later came to help a lot, so that the person who dug the canal The project is finally coming to an end.
