Chapter 20
"Hey, have you heard that Zhen Nier of the Meng family has contracted that piece of wasteland!"

"It can't be the wasteland on the north slope, right? You can give up this wasteland for free. Not to mention wasting seeds in vain, it's a waste of effort. Maybe it's because Meng Fanhao didn't tell people the details of this place!"

"Probably not. No matter what, Zhen Nier belongs to their old Meng's family. Even if our surname Wang cheated, he can't cheat her. Even if he is cheating, he has to take care of Meng Qingyu's face. I heard that last year When building the school, Meng Qingyu spent a lot of money."

"That's it!"

"Oh, you don't know this. People know that this is wasteland, so they didn't plan to use it for planting at all. I heard from the Meng family that they contracted to dig a pond. Isn't this wasteland just a wasteland?" The lotus pond. When I passed by the village committee just now, I saw an excavator parked there, probably Meng Fanhao helped her find it for digging the pond. How about we go and have a look?"

"Go, have a look! Maybe we can dig out a treasure!"

"If you really want a baby, it belongs to Zhen Nier, so just be brave to her. It's no wonder that she is Meng Qingyu's niece!"

It's not a busy time for farming, because the wheat fields can't be watered in late spring, so the people in the village are relatively free. When they heard that Meng Zhen was digging a pond, and it was digging a famous strange land in the village, they all ran to watch the fun.For a moment, a circle of people surrounded the wasteland.People watched the excavator "rumble" and talked curiously.

When digging to a depth of one meter, the excavator stopped suddenly.

"What's the matter, why don't you dig?"

"It seems that something has been dug up. The driver and Zhen Nier are shouting loudly!"

"Oh, it's not true that there is a baby, then she will get rich!"

Meng Zhen approached the excavator, and the driver said that something seemed to be dug inside. Hearing the whispers of the villagers, she was also a little curious, so she asked the master to help dig it up.

After a while, under everyone's expectant and envious eyes, a large stone slab was completely dug out, and when it was placed on the ground, everyone huffed and surrounded it,
"What is this, why does it look like a stone table to me!"

"It's just a stone table, so it's like digging up some treasure!"

"Hey! How can there be so many treasures to dig?!"

Meng Zhen stepped forward and took a look. It was a stone slab about two meters long and one meter wide. It was hard to tell what it was because it was covered with dirt.

"Why does this look so familiar to me?" Third Master Wang also came over with a smoke ring in his mouth: "By the way, isn't this the stone table that was originally placed in the courtyard of Meng Qingyu's house? The warehouse of the production team, the stone table is also gone. After he took it back to the yard, he searched all over the village, why did it get thrown here?"

When Mr. Wang said, people of the older generation had impressions, and they all nodded after looking at it, "That's right, it's his stone table. It was originally placed under the pomegranate tree. There should be four stone pillars. It is estimated that it is also in the ground!"

When Meng Zhen heard this, since this was originally in the yard, she should dig it all up.He signaled to the master to dig again, and sure enough, four more stone benches were dug out.

Seeing that Meng Zhen wanted to bring the stone table home, Meng Fanhao called out to a few young people watching the excitement: "Meng Xiangyong, Meng Xiangfeng, Meng Xiangde, you guys come over and help Meng Zhen carry the house!"

The three young men agreed, put the four stone benches on the stone slab, and carried them to Meng Zhen's house.Fortunately, the road is not far away, and Meng Zhen will be there in a few minutes.The three of them put the stone slabs in the yard. The slabs were really heavy. Fortunately, the road was so short that they were exhausted after just a few minutes of walking.

Seeing that they were sweating from exhaustion, Meng Zhen hurried back to the living room to get three packs of cigarettes. He didn't care whether they smoked or not, and gave one pack to each of them, saying, thank you for your hard work.

Coincidentally, the three of them were drug addicts, and they were also knowledgeable. When they saw that it was Zhonghua, they were all overjoyed. In the end, they helped someone carry the stone table under the pomegranate tree and adjusted her position before leaving.

Meng Zhen sent the three villagers away, turned around and came to the small restaurant in the village, where he ordered a few dishes.Today she has to watch in the wasteland, so she has no time to cook.

When she returned to the ground, the crowd was talking again.What's the matter?Have you dug something up again?

Meng Zhen squeezed in and saw that the pond had been dug to one and a half meters, and now the excavator stopped again.It turned out that water began to seep in the pond, and the driver didn't know what was wrong, so he stopped and waited for Meng Zhen to come back.

Meng Zhen looked at it and asked the driver to continue digging. Anyway, this wasteland is hers now, and there is no rule in the village that it cannot be used to dig ponds, and there is no requirement that she can only dig to 1.5 meters. Her plan is to dig to a depth of [-] meters. Woolen cloth.

"Boom——" After digging a few more times, the bottom of the pond seemed to be boiling, and spring water gushed out.

"Ah, look, the spring water is coming out!"

"Oh, look at that fountain!"

"It's really evil, there is actually a spring under this wasteland!"

"What, let me take a look!"

Mr. Wang also squeezed to the front, looking at the spring water emerging from the bottom of the pond: "That's right, this used to be a pond. At that time, we wondered how this pond came to be. After all, it is far away from the Yushi River. It turns out Below is the spring eye!"

"Zhen Nier, you have to protect this pond well. This wasteland has been deserted for 30 to [-] years. No one has looked at it and thought it was a waste. Who would have thought that it would be a treasure."

"Hey, third grandpa, don't worry, I will take good care of this pond."

People here are used to calling unmarried girls "Ni'er", whatever their name is, just add "Ni'er" after the last word of the name, and call them "Xu Nier".Some did not choose a name at first, like the daughter of the second aunt in the backyard, who directly called her "Da Nier".At first she was not used to it, but later she realized that it was the meaning of the people in the village to accept her and stop treating her as an outsider.So the older ones and those older than her started calling her "Zhen Nier".Listening to it, she also felt kind.

Now that the spring was dug, it was not easy to dig any deeper. The driver piled up the excavated soil on the hillside according to Meng Zhen's request.Meng Zhen originally planned to take these soils to other places, after all, she was also worried about the problems with these soils.Now that the springs have been dug out, the soil quality should be suitable for planting trees.She planned to spread all the soil on the sloping land she contracted. The sloping land was washed by the rain and the rocks were exposed, and the mud from digging the pond was covered to save the soil for other places.

The excavator is still digging in an orderly manner. The spring seems to have been suppressed for a long time, and the clear spring water gushes out, and the bottom is covered in a while.I heard that the spring water in Quancheng is very famous before, and she went to the park to see it when she was in school.

However, due to the overexploitation of groundwater in the past few years, the spring water is almost exhausted.Even the No. [-] spring in the world is facing a crisis. Only then did people realize that the spring city they talked about was not worthy of its name, and they began to call for the prohibition of private exploitation of groundwater and the protection of water and springs.

Although after several years of hard work, the spring water has survived the crisis with difficulty, but the previous grand occasion of "every family spring water" and removing the floor tiles to create a spring no longer exists, and can only be reproduced in literary works and the memories of the old people. .

Unexpectedly, a spring was dug out in the wasteland that I contracted. It was amazing. With spring water and ponds, there is no need to divert additional water, and the spring water is alive, and the fish in it must taste good.

The more Meng Zhen thought about it, the more excited she became, and she almost saw the dreamy scene of lotus blooming, frogs singing and cicadas singing again.

The old people on the side also began to speculate that the custodian of the warehouse at that time thought the stone table was in the way, so he secretly threw it into the lotus pond.

Time passed quickly, and it was noon soon, and the surrounding villagers began to go home for dinner one after another.They talked with each other along the way, some scolded the custodian for their wickedness, and some envied Meng Zhen's luck.However, there is no dispute about the ownership of the spring water. After all, it was dug out of other people's land. Why did you go there if you were jealous? This land has been deserted for nearly 30 years, and no one has contracted it.If it weren't for the girl of the Meng family who had the courage to contract it at a normal price even though she knew it was a wasteland, how long this spring would have been buried.Therefore, it is due to Zhen Nier's luck that she can't stop it.

Meng Zhen asked the driver and the village chief to go to a small restaurant for dinner. The boss also heard the comments of the people in the village, and he couldn't help congratulating Meng Zhen on his successful excavation. The days to come will definitely be more prosperous.

The driver had to continue working in the afternoon, so she couldn't drink, so she drank two glasses of beer with Village Chief Meng.Liu Jiajia and Feng Xiaoyan received a text message from Meng Zhen, knowing that they were eating in a small restaurant, and came directly after class without going home.On the way, they heard that a spring had been dug in the land contracted by Sister Meng. They were very curious, but because the village head and the driver were there, they felt a little cautious, so they hurriedly ate their fill and went to class.Anyway, after class, they can go directly to the field to have a look.

After lunch, village head Meng returned to the village committee by himself while he still had work to do, while Meng Zhen and the driver went to the wasteland to continue digging.She expected to dig eight percent of the land into a pond, but only part of it was dug in the morning, and the workload in the afternoon was still heavy.The pond was nourished by the spring water, and the ground was much softer. The work went smoothly, and by the evening, the work had been completed.

After paying the money, the driver drove the excavator away. Meng Zhen sat casually by his pond, watching the bubbling spring water, and the soil dug from the bottom of the pond was piled wet on the slope. It doesn't look like a wasteland at all, but very fertile soil.Meng Zhen thought, what's the matter with the wasteland, the big deal is to move some yellow land from the manor to pave it, which will definitely make the fruit trees grow luxuriantly.

In her wheat field, the wheat seedlings are also thriving.In the past, she thought that the wheat field should be watered as often as the vegetable field. After asking the second aunt, she found out that the wheat field does not need to be watered so frequently. Now it is the turning green period of the wheat, and watering twice is enough.This year, the cold spring is quite severe, and there is no watering, probably in April.What needs to be done now is to loosen the soil and weed the wheat fields regularly.

Looking at everything in front of him, Meng Zhen was full of longing for a new life: growing vegetables, raising fish, planting fruit trees, and harvesting wheat.What's so great about not having a job, we still live the same life, and we will be happier and happier than before.
