Mountain People

"Hey, tell me what's going on with that well in your house, it's really not good, I'll make one here too, or if it doesn't rain again, I'm afraid the back There's no water to use." Gu Mingde said with some seriousness, it's not good for the common people who depend on the sky for food, if it rains more, they will worry about flooding the fields, and if it doesn't rain, they will Worrying about the grain harvest is really worrying.

"Isn't it! Our fields are far away from the river. In the past, it was easy to use water. It was done by diverting water directly from the small stream. Now that the stream has stopped flowing, I have to go to the Going to fetch water from the river, one day’s work is spent on fetching water.” A villager at the same table said distressedly, this person is also a clan of the Gu family, because these clan clans have learned their interests and have not bothered with the Gu family over the years. The relationship between the Gu family and the clan has also eased a lot.

Another elder who had a good relationship with the Gu family also sighed: "We are in the southeast, if we are all short of water, what will happen to other places! To catch up with a drought that has not been encountered in more than ten years, really..."

The old man sighed, his eyes full of deep worry.

When everyone talks about this heavy topic, it seems that even these meals don't feel delicious.

Chang Ming doesn't know how to farm or go to the ground, but he knows that these people here don't see him laughing because of his lame leg, and they will greet him warmly. The villagers have a lot of goodwill, and now seeing everyone like this, they are a little overwhelmed, and they can only look at Dong Chenghu for help.

Dong Chenghu figured it out as early as when Gu Mingde spoke. The situation in Caozi Village is probably more serious than that in their house. Now the whole village is distressed about water use. In the name of digging a well in the village, the Gu family's status in the village will definitely rise, and those who are not convinced will be convinced even if they are not convinced after this incident.

Thinking about this, Dong Chenghu said with a smile: "Father-in-law, I and Dong Yi and a few people tossed the well in our house, but our water system is rich, so we don't need to dig too deep. The water will come out, if you want to fight, I can call Dong Yi and the others over, and the few of us will be able to come out of the water all day long."

Gu Mingde's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard it, and he looked at Dong Chenghu with hope. The villagers next to him were even more nervous than Gu Mingde. Some people were eager to try, but no one was willing to speak first.

Dong Chenghu saw it in his eyes, but he didn't pierce it, and said directly: "Father-in-law, why don't you ask the village chief to see if we need to drill a well in the village, although the well we drilled is not? It must be very good, but the water supply is not a problem, and it can also alleviate the problem of water use in the village."

"Good, good! Mingde, your son-in-law is really good!" Hearing this, an old man stood up excitedly, praising Dong Chenghu so much that he was embarrassed.

Although Gu Mingde has always humbly promised, the smug look on his face can't be concealed, and everyone can see his embarrassment.

Chang Ming on the side of Dong Chenghu can be said to be full of admiration for Dong Chenghu. He really did not expect Dong Chenghu to dig a well. More importantly, he also promised to help the villagers of Caozi Village. it is good.

At this moment, Chang Ming seemed to have an epiphany, and couldn't help but said enviously: "Brother Dong, you are really amazing, you can do anything."

Dong Chenghu paused, turned his head to look at Chang Ming, after seeing his expression, he suddenly grinned, patted Chang Ming on the shoulder, took a sip of wine, and said boldly: " What skills do I have! I'm just an ordinary hunter in the mountains, and other things are all we pondered blindly. I think when I first got married, our husband and wife didn't even have a house, only a broken cave. We didn't want to Find a way to live your life.

You are young and the only adult male in your family. You must stand up. No matter what you have experienced in the past, let it pass. Only when you stand up can your mother and son rely on you.

People who once laughed at you and looked down on you can only look up to you, even your ex-wife, you have to make her regret it..."

Dong Chenghu took advantage of the wine to speak without covering it up, Chang Ming's expression changed at first, as Dong Chenghu talked more and more, his expression gradually became natural, look at him like that , seems to be caught in a war between heaven and man.

Gu Mingde also persuaded: "Child, we saw your mother when we visited your house, and her body looks really bad. I'm afraid you can't work hard. You're still young, so you can't count on your sister and your own mother! Your mother has suffered all her life. If you can cheer up, it will be the greatest consolation for her. After all, she will have to Rely on your son to support her in retirement.

You may not know, before your nasty uncle hit your sister's idea, thinking about marrying her to the old widower in town, if it wasn't because your uncle was arrested, your uncle They also followed into the cell. I'm afraid they really figured this out. You have to think about it! "

Chang Ming's face turned blue and white for a while when Gu Mingde said it, and he was still a little dazed when he left Caozi Village.

Dong Chenghu seemed to be a little out of place when he saw his spirit, looking at the limping and desolate background, he couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Father-in-law, will it be okay to let him go back like this? Did we talk too much?"

Gu Mingde stood there without saying a word, before sighing for a long time: "If he can't even bear this, and he can't even go back this way, what can he do in the future?"

Dong Chenghu immediately fell silent when he heard the words, dragged the young men who were sending relatives, and helped to take care of Chang Ming behind his back, so he didn't ask about it again.

At a loss, she didn't know where the food of the Gu family was placed, and she didn't know very well what the family liked to eat, so it was also a question of how much to cook.

She couldn't figure it out, so she had to turn on the fire on the stove, washed the cauldron, put the water to boil, and cleaned the kitchen again.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhao happened to be in the kitchen. Seeing that Chang Ru had already started to work, she felt a lot more relaxed.
