I Was Called a Poor Widow, But I Relied on My Supernatural Powers To Fight Back In Ancient Times

Chapter 115 Irrigation Problems

Take the family's top student, Xiao Wu, who was also born together, but he is exceptionally smart, thoughtful, sensitive and suspicious. He will try to win him back for a while, but I'm afraid it won't be easy.

Just now when she said pine needles were fat, the boy was still staring at her with a puzzled expression, as if he wanted to see the flowers on her face.

　　When mentioning this, Bai Yunxi snickered silently, so what if he was smart?

After all, he is still a young boy who has not participated in social experience. He wants to get an advantage in front of her, but he is still not very successful.

After resting for a while, Baiyunxi went to carry another basket of pine needles, and Du Shi brought lunch.

 Behind her, there was little girl Yaya jumping up and down.

 “Mom, it’s time to eat.”

 “Hey~, thank you for your hard work.” It is not easy at all to cook meals for the whole family and clean up the house alone.

“Compared to my second brother and the others, my daughter-in-law doesn’t have to work hard.”

　　Du Shi put down the carrying pole, spread a few banana leaves on a flat place, quickly laid out the food, and called a few people over to eat.

The family’s work is all manual labor, and although Du Shi is hard at work, she can’t say much about cooking.

 Even the vegetables have more oil and water than before.

According to her instructions, each person should add a boiled egg to breakfast every day to increase nutrition and give them strength to work.

 You can only work hard if you are well fed.

 After dinner, Bai Yunxi was playing with Yaya and saw Bai Anyan walking up the mountain carrying two baskets.

 “An Yan, take a rest after eating before working, so as not to feel upset in your stomach.”

 Lao Er is really hard-working, and she really can’t fault her in farm work.

"Mom, I'm going to carry some pine needles, and then I'll eat them up. It won't be a problem."

Bai Anyan smiled and didn't care at all. The two baskets of pine needles were very light.

Looking at his generous back, Baiyunxi didn't stop him. He let Yaya play for a while, then stood up and observed the **** land. He found that six or seven acres had been opened, and half of it was completed.

Another important reason for the barren slopes is that they cannot hold water.

 If you want to carry water from the river, it is not only a long distance, but also time-consuming and laborious.

It would save effort if spring water could be diverted from the mountains. Then a reservoir would be dug next to it to store rainwater.

With this thought in mind, Baiyun River walked up the **** to receive mountain spring water from the upper reaches, and the distance was not close.

 But it only takes one trouble to divert the mountain spring down, and you won’t have to worry about irrigation in the future.

"Mom, what are you looking at?" Bai Anyi glanced at the sky and came over.

“I’m thinking about how to solve the irrigation problem on this sloping land. Look, dig a reservoir at this location, collect the mountain spring water from there, and then connect it with bamboo tubes to form a canal, and follow the flow straight down. Is it just right to this location?”

Baiyun Creek pointed to a mountain spring in front of it. Although the water flow was not large, it continued all year round, which was enough for watering this slope.

There are springs everywhere in the mountains, and they all eventually merge into the Qingshui River. They divert the springs and it does not affect the water use of the villagers.

Following his mother's guidance, Bai Anyi's eyes were full of doubts, "It's good, but it's too troublesome."

 ‘I dare to think that it would be exhausting to connect the bamboo tubes from the upstream and come down. ’

 “Trouble once, save worry for many years, very cost-effective.”

Bai Yunxi looked at him. Although this kid had a straight mind, the bad habits he had developed in the past would still emerge subconsciously.
