Early the next morning, Shuihua got up before dawn, roasted a few potatoes, cooked a pot of polenta, baked a few corn pancakes, and had a simple breakfast with his father, Li Laoshuan, before dawn.

When it was almost done, the father and daughter pushed the cart and packed the water bags and buckets out the door.

There are two ancient wells in the village, located at the east end of the village, under two big poplar trees. The ancient wells are very deep and are fine during the wet season. However, once the dry season of autumn and winter comes or there is a drought, the water in the ancient wells cannot be guaranteed.

In the past, when there were few people, the water in the village could barely be enough. But now that there are no wars and natural disasters, and the population is increasing, the water in the wells is barely enough for people's daily needs. There are water cellars at home.

Yes, as early as the spring and summer rainy seasons, the water cellar was filled with water.

But for those who don’t have water cellars and want to irrigate their fields, the water from the wells in the village is definitely not enough, so they have to go dozens of miles away to transport water back.

Fortunately, the weather has generally been good these years, and the water source is no problem. If there is a drought, there will be countless fights between villages to compete for water sources.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the early days, shotguns and guns were often used in order to grab water. It would not be normal if there were not a few lives lost when fighting for water every year.

As soon as the father and daughter went out and walked onto the village road, they saw Wang Zhong and Ma calling for water and Debao, Shuiwang, and Gawa, who were also pulling a cart.

"Uncle Lao Shuan! Splash!" Wang Zhong greeted the two of them with a smile.

Debao and Gawa Shuiwang also hurriedly called for help.

"Call Uncle Shui, Brother Wang Chong, you guys should go carry water too!" Shui Hua smiled as he saw a few people.

"Isn't it going to be winter irrigation soon!" Ma Xianshui stopped and greeted Shui Hua: "Are you going to carry water too?"

"Yeah!" Shui Hua responded.

"Wang Zhong, didn't you dig a big water cellar yourself?" Li Laoshuan was both curious and a little jealous.

Wang Zhong's home is at the end of the village. People in the village go to the east end of the village when going to the fields. They don't pass by Wang Zhong's home. Li Laoshuan also learned about Wang Zhong's digging of a water cellar from Shui Hua's mouth. He even went to see it later and saw the firebrick house.

The large water cellar made of bricks makes me feel envious in my heart.

"Uncle Lao Shuan!" Wang Zhong also said at the same time: "This water is transported by the old party secretary. He is old and has always taken good care of me. It just so happens that I have been busy recently. How can I do this kind of heavy work?

Let him do it by himself."

"Then Li Da has a couple, right?" Li Laoshuan said angrily.

"Uncle Dayou also has his own fields that need to be irrigated in the winter!" Wang Zhong said with a smile: "Can you help me?"

"You are quite enthusiastic!" Li Laoshuan was a little sour.

After coming to Yongquan Village for so long, the only thing that made Wang Zhong feel uncomfortable was the lack of water.

Fortunately, there is a system space, and it was the flood season in summer some time ago. Wang Zhong used tarpaulin, stones and soil to temporarily build a large storage tank at the bottom of the slope behind his homestead, and collected a lot of rainwater.

Otherwise, Wang Zhong would have to struggle to death just to find water.

However, open-air pools are fine for a short period of time. Over time, they either evaporate or become filled with sand and dust. They are fine for watering the ground, but not for daily water use.

What makes Wang Zhong most uncomfortable is the toilet. There is no water. Even if the bedpan and septic tank are installed, it will be useless. On the contrary, it is not as simple and straightforward as the dry toilet.

Fortunately, with the water cellar, Wang Zhong was able to make the toilet a flush toilet openly. Although he had to scoop it out himself every time, it was still better than a dry toilet.

"Shui Wang is so lucky to have met a sensible child like you!" In addition to being bitter, Li Laoshuan was also slightly envious in his words. He only has a daughter like Shui Hua, who is also getting beaten every day at his age.

Yes, I will definitely get married in the future. If I marry in this village, it will be fine, but if I marry outside...

In particular, although Wang Zhong and the old party secretary had a connection, they were not related by blood at all. However, Wang Zhong respected the old party secretary so much and was so kind. How could he not be envious of him?

Humans, sometimes our eyes will subconsciously ignore some things.

We all love each other. If the old party secretary hadn't been so heartfelt to Wang Zhong, Wang Zhong wouldn't have reciprocated the favor.

Whether in the world of "Human World" or "Youth", Wang Zhong has never suffered this kind of hardship.

The pain of lack of water, the pain of wading through mountains and rivers and climbing over mountains and ridges just for a little water.

The journey of dozens of miles took at least nearly four hours one way and back. Wang Zhong was fast on his feet and had great strength. At nine o'clock in the morning, he fetched water and dragged the cart back.

Wang Zhong walked very fast, and it was not difficult for him to carry more than a thousand kilograms of water on the cart. Shui Wang even said that he would help push it, but when he returned, he had to sit on the cart and let Wang Zhong give it to him.

Pulled.

The old party secretary is old and doesn't have much land to farm. Li Dayou and his wife help him, so he doesn't need much water.

Ma Huanshui has to work on his own land as well as Gawa's land. The more land he needs, the more water he needs. Fortunately, both Ma Huanshui and Gawa's mother are capable.

He Shuiwang helped the old party secretary water the ground for a while and emptied the big water bag. Wang Zhong chose to set off alone.

There were not many children around, so Wang Zhong was faster on his own. He ran three times in total in one day. The old party secretary and Ga Wa didn't rest for a whole day. They looked at the sky and it was almost dark, so they put all the things together.

The ground was watered all over.

The next day Wang Zhong went to the Mashao Shui family to help.

"Chong Wazi, I heard that you pulled the poop three times by yourself yesterday?" Ma Huashui was a little worried about Wang Zhong's health.

Wang Zhong's chest thumped loudly: "Uncle, look at the bones in my body, which are stronger than those of an ox. If it weren't for the long journey and lack of time, I could have endured another dozen or so trips."

"Can it really be tolerated?" Ma shouted and looked at Wang Zhong doubtfully.

Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Don't worry! It's not like you haven't seen me working when I was building the house some time ago!"

"Then don't make so many trips. You go in the morning and I'll go in the afternoon. Let's alternate and it'll be easier!" Ma Huashui knew he couldn't defeat Wang Zhong, so he simply took a step back.

"Sure! I'll listen to you!"

Ma called the Shui family to help him for a day. On the third day, Wang Zhong went to the Shui Hua family.

She and her father are the only two people in Shuihua's family, but they have a lot of land to farm, especially Shuihua, who works hard and diligently.

"Brother Wang Zhong, what are you doing?" Shui Hua looked at Wang Zhong and asked with some confusion.

Wang Zhongdao: "I'm not seeing that your land hasn't been watered for several days. It just so happens that the old party secretary's land has been watered. Uncle Shui's family has a large population and they don't need me. I'm free now and want to come over.

Let me help you!"

"The relationship is great!" Before Shui Hua could say anything, Li Laoshuan couldn't wait to say with surprise on his face: "Wang Zhong, I don't want to tease your uncle!"

"Uncle! Why are you teasing me when I have nothing to do? Besides, Shuihua saved my life in the first place. I can't repay the favor of saving my life. I just helped pull some water. It's nothing!"

"I'll just say that you are a sensible kid with a sincere heart!" Li Laoshuan said happily.

Shui Hua was stunned for a moment. This was not what Li Laoshuan said yesterday when he saw Wang Zhong calling Ma Shui to pull water. When he got home at night, he couldn't stop complaining to Shui Hua, saying that Wang Zhong had to be rescued from the mountains.

Shui Hua was brought back to the village, and she said that Wang Zhong only knew how to help the old party secretary and Ma call for water, but did not know how to help their family. His tone was like that of an angry little daughter-in-law.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But when he saw Wang Zhong coming to the door, his expression immediately changed.

"It's all as it should be!" Wang Zhong still had a smile on his face.

"That's done!" Li Laoshuan said happily: "You have a good physique, so you can pull it hard, and Shui Hua and I will help you push it!"

"Sure! No problem!" Wang Zhong agreed.

"Dad!" Shui Hua quickly pulled Li Laoshuan and smiled at Wang Zhong: "Brother Wang Zhong, wait a moment, I have a few words to say to my father."

Then he quickly pulled Li Laoshuan aside. Li Laoshuan said angrily: "What are you doing? What is there to say?"

Shui Hua said anxiously: "Dad, Brother Wang Zhong just moved here, and there are a lot of things to do! How can we bother others with the things in our own land!"

"What do you know!" When Li Laoshuan saw his daughter say this, he immediately straightened his face and scolded Shui Hua with a stern face: "Winter is coming soon. It doesn't matter if we are tired and slow down, but the people in the fields

Can wheat seedlings wait?

Wang Zhong is a good young man, so with all his strength, not to mention our Yongquan Village, I think there are not many young men in the entire Gangou Township and the entire Xihaigu who can compare to him. He came here to help with good intentions, and he can

It saves us so much trouble, and we can finish the winter irrigation as soon as possible!"

But Shui Hua still looked embarrassed.

As he spoke, Li Laoshuan lowered his voice and said anxiously to Shui Hua: "My silly girl, why don't you understand? How can you find another outstanding young man like Wang Zhong from all over the country?"

?”

"You see, after a while, the matchmaker who comes to visit will trample the threshold of his house! Now he is close to our family, it is because you saved him, and he is thinking of your kindness.

I want to repay you!"

"If you don't seize such a good opportunity, why don't you think of giving him to another girl?"

Li Laoshuan quite hates the fact that iron cannot become steel.

Shui Hua was directly told by Li Laoshuan that he was confused. It took him a while to come back to his senses, his cheeks were slightly red: "Dad, what are you talking about! What can't be grasped?" The originally calm heart suddenly became a little confused.

Already.

Subconsciously, he turned his head and looked at Wang Zhong, who was standing in the courtyard. He was tall and handsome, with a strong masculine air all over his body. His heart suddenly pounded like a deer bumping around.

Shui Hua quickly retracted her gaze and kept saying to herself: "What I like is Brother Defu, what I like is Brother Defu..." But once that thought took root and sprouted,

It can no longer be removed.

"You girl!" Li Laoshuan sighed, looked at the splash of water helplessly, shook his head, said nothing, turned and walked towards Wang Zhong, "Wang Zhong, let's push the cart out first!"

"Okay uncle!"
