The rural life of a peasant girl

Chapter 122 Midsummer
In fact, how did Su Dong know about the flush toilet at home!He has been studying in the county!It's just that Su Ling and her family explained that if this thing was designed by herself, it might be confiscated for free, but it is different if it is said that it was designed by Su Dong. It's also good for him to have some other perks.

"Dong'er?" Mr. Chen asked suspiciously, during this period of time he often went in and out of Su Ling's house, and he had never seen a person named Dong'er!Hence the reaction.

"Dong'er is my eldest son, and he is studying in the county now!" Father Su explained.

"So that's it! The eldest son of the Su family really has a wonderful idea, and he can think of such an exquisite thing." Master Chen praised.

"It's just a whim, just for the convenience of life." Su's father said, "I'll send a letter to ask Dong'er first. If you think it's useful, you can take it. I think if Dong'er knows that he gets along I will be very happy if something can benefit the people. If it can be promoted, I would also like to thank you sir."

Before, Su Ling discussed with her family. Although she drew this thing based on the memory of her previous life, the whole family helped a lot. It is impossible for Su Ling to give this credit. Who told her to just A little girl, in this ancient time, if she gets married, she can only marry and obey her husband. It can only be given some rewards!And these rewards are nothing more than gold, silver and jewellery. If it was the Su family in the past, if they had money, they would of course choose silver, but now the Su Ling family is not as short of money as before.

And Su Dong is the only one in this family who has entered into an official career. If he can be given the credit for benefiting the common people, it will be good for his future no matter what.

Even if you can't get any high officials because of this, at least you have won a good reputation.

Lord Chen was very happy to see that Su's father had no intention of fighting for merit.

Su Ling was very indifferent.Her flush toilet system is limited by the conditions, and it is not fully automatic.For example, for large water storage tanks, water needs to be filled manually.The sewage outlets also need to be cleaned manually in winter.In order to discharge the sewage smoothly, the official road from the toilet to the sewage outlet is not long, and a slope is also set.

In addition, the cost of fine porcelain toilets and water tanks, including some parts in the water tank, is not low.

These factors are all problems that need to be solved in the promotion of flush toilets.

If anyone can solve these problems and build a unified water supply, drainage, and sewage treatment system, Su Ling thinks it should be given all the credit to this person.And these were things that Su Ling couldn't solve, so she didn't claim credit.

Even if this flush toilet can be promoted, it still involves a problem of habit.

For example, Su Ling, she is used to using the flush toilet to maintain her privacy.But in this day and age, rich families who can afford the cost of making flush toilets are used to being served by maids and servants.

As a new thing, the flush toilet should be liked by some people.As for whether it can be widely used... Su Ling thinks that it is better to leave it to others to worry about.

However, Mr. Chen still promised that when he presented this design, he would definitely write Su Dong's name to show that this thing was designed by Su Dong.

Su Ling still has some insights into Mr. Chen's approach. He feels that Mr. Chen is worth paying attention to. Unlike other officials, if there is a chance to compete for merit, he will definitely not let it go. How could he think of the original designer? ah!What's more, it is not uncommon for the original designer to be killed in order to gain credit.

The days are getting hotter and hotter. Su Ling is most afraid of the heat. Before summer, she finds it particularly difficult. The ancient clothes are very cumbersome and have several layers. Once she puts them on, one can imagine what it will be like. It's hot, and it's not like the modern ultra-short ones, which can show arms and thighs.

It's okay at night, Su Ling can still wear his special vest pajamas and short pajamas in his room, but there is still a gentle evening breeze at night, but when it's daytime.The whole land seemed to be scorched by fire, Su Ling didn't dare to go to the place where the sun shines.

This day, Su Ling was enjoying the shade under the elm tree in the yard, and even specially moved a basin of water to cool it down!

Su Ling lay leisurely on the bamboo chair, humming an unknown tune while enjoying the shade.

Su He and Yaya were running around the roots of the tree, while Su's mother, Aunt Liu and the little maids were doing needlework under the tree.

Mother Su sewed small clothes for the bag in her belly, while Aunt Liu was making small shoes for the bag in Mother Su's belly, while Chunhua and other maids were tying netting.

The little servant girls have long heard from Su's mother that Su Ling can do it by hand, but they have never had the chance to see it. Today, taking advantage of Su Ling's free time, they still want to ask Su Ling for advice!
The first to boo is Chazi, she is the most active among the few maids, and she is not afraid of Su Ling at ordinary times.

"Miss, please teach us!" Chazi begged.

"Why, Zi'er, your skin is itchy again, isn't it?" Generally, when Su Ling called Cha Zi Zi'er, she was trying to scare her. The first time Cha Zi would be fooled, but after a few more times, Cha Zi also touched her. After clearing Su Ling's temper, knowing that she was just joking, she no longer was afraid.

Mother Su looked at these little ones fighting, put down her needle and thread, and touched her belly again. How could she have expected such things in the past!Gone are the days of not being able to eat enough for three meals and working in the fields all day but still not seeing any harvest.

Su Ho, who was playing games with Yaya over there, heard Chazi's booing, and said loudly, "Sister, sister, you can teach Chazi! He'er also wants to learn from the sidelines!"

Speaking of Su Ho learning needlework, it is even scarier than Su Ling. Su Ling at least knows how to handle needle and thread. She can do ordinary sewing and mending, but it is difficult for her to embroider, but Su Ho is She couldn't even afford needlework. Su Ling asked her to study every day before, but she couldn't persevere. After returning from the county seat, she forgot all about needlework.Now it takes only 3 minutes to get excited and want to learn.

But Su's mother is still unwilling to let go of such an opportunity that Su Ho has heard that she is willing to learn about needlework, "Ling'er, look, everyone is waiting for you! You can teach them!" In fact, Su's mother really It was a misunderstanding, she saw that the bracelet that Su Ling asked Wang Caiyun to make was pretty good, so she felt that Su Ling's netting should also be good, so she said that to the maids.

If Su Ling knew that the news came from Su's mother, she would probably shout that this is not the case, how could she know how to fight the ancient Luozi!Even that bracelet is nothing more than a theft of the wisdom of modern people.
