LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 76 A kind reminder
The three wells in Xishan Village were dug at the same time. For each well, several men were responsible for digging, and several women were responsible for carrying soil and pouring it. There was an orderly division of labor. In the early Yuan Dynasty, a handful of cooked mung bean soup was sent to the construction site, so that the people digging wells could drink two bowls of it to cool off during their break.
While everyone was drinking mung bean soup, they couldn't help but tease Yuan Chuyi about Xuan Xing and Xuan Bing in her family.
"Mrs. Xiao, why are these two young men of yours so capable? They dig wells much faster than these rough old men!"
Xuan Xing and Xuan Bing are martial arts practitioners. Compared with the old men in the village, Xuan Xing and Xuan Bing can dig wells much faster. Especially when they encounter places with extremely hard soil, they hold shovels and push the wells. With a few uses of internal force, the soil, no matter how hard it was, was quickly dug through.
An aunt in the village joked, "What are their names? How old are they this year? Are you married?"
Xuan Xing, who was digging a well with a shovel, suddenly blushed at the words. He was already shy, but now that these aunts were teasing him, he was so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into the mud.
However, Yi Xuan Bingdian was not afraid of strangers, and said with a playful smile: "Aunt, my name is Xuan Bing, and my brother's name is Xuan Xing. We are both in our twenties. Our eldest brother's name is Xuan Yue, who is twenty-four, and the other two brothers Xuan Feng Xuanying is already twenty-three. Our brothers haven’t gotten married yet, and my aunt asked in such detail, are you planning to marry us?"
"I want to tell you, but I'm afraid your wife won't agree!" Aunt Wang laughed and joked.
When Yuanchu saw that she still had her own business here, in order to delay the life-long events of these guards, she also smiled and said: "Why would I disagree? My aunt wants to marry them, and it's too late for me to be happy."
As she spoke, she paused, secretly glanced at Wang Shuying who was sitting aside drinking water and refusing to drink the mung bean soup she brought, and continued,
"Aunt, I'm not bragging, but our Mr. Xiao's subordinates are really good. Unlike some people who come from a wealthy family, they have all kinds of problems, such as going to flower streets, going to gambling houses, and entering... These places are more familiar than going back to my own home. When I was in the Yuan family, I heard that there was such a child in the family, and his legs were broken in the end. But I guarantee that the four of them definitely do not have these bad habits. Which family If your daughter marries them, you don’t have to worry about any of this!"
Second Aunt Wang chuckled and said, "If my daughter were older, I would definitely ask Matchmaker Wang to come to your house to propose marriage!"
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, Second Aunt Wang made me laugh, "I'm afraid these boys won't be lucky enough to marry Xiang'er from my aunt's family. I think I'll get them all married in the next two years!" Second Aunt Wang's daughter is only ten years old this year. Three or four years old, but Xuanxing and the others are already in their twenties. If they are willing, it is time to get married.
Other aunts and ladies who have daughters at home are joking that they will find Matchmaker Wang to arrange marriage proposals for these boys tomorrow. Xuan Xing was so ashamed that he hid in the well digging soil without daring to raise his head. The shameless Xuan Bing also made them blush and laugh in embarrassment.
At the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, while listening to the aunts' joking, he glanced at Wang Shuying aside and saw that she still had her head lowered. She couldn't see clearly her face or what she was thinking in her heart.
At this time, Wang Jiagui hurried over.
"Mrs. Xiao, our well over there has encountered a big rock and cannot be dug. Look, can you go over and see if there is anything we can do?"
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, without saying a word, he took Yunxuan and Xuanyue and rushed to the well in the center of the village.
"Mrs. Xiao is really capable. Now men turn to her for advice on everything they encounter!" an aunt said sarcastically as she looked at Yuan Chuyi's retreating figure.
"No, she was the one who suggested that we dig ponds to store water and dig wells to collect water now!" Another aunt also said with a smile, and looked at Wang Guifen who was standing aside intentionally or unintentionally and continued, "I see. , from now on our village should be decided by this Mrs. Xiao!"
The aunt's words really had an effect. Wang Guifen, who was drinking mung bean soup, suddenly felt that the mung bean soup in his mouth had changed in taste, and angrily threw the bowl in his hand on the dirt floor.
On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, I followed Wang Jiagui to the well in the village and saw a large round stone standing there in the well that they dug nearly five or six meters deep, blocking the entire well. .
This really stumped Yuan Chuyi. In this deep well, even if they wanted to use hammers, they couldn't do anything because of lack of space. If they used fire, it would be too slow. The best way is to use a precise amount of explosives to blast the rocks. But there seems to be no explosives these days! Even if she were there, she wouldn't know how big the stone was!
It seems that if you want to get rid of this stone, you must first know how big it is.
"Xuan Yue, go down and see if you can dig out the soil from the side and see how big the stone is!" Yuan Chuyi said.
Without saying a word, Xuan Yue took a shovel, jumped into the well, and dug against the wall of the well with the stones. He was skilled in martial arts and dug the soil very quickly. Yunxuan, who was watching him dig at the side, said, "What a big bull!"
Xuan Yue couldn't help but raise her head when she heard this and looked at her unconvinced, "Why don't you come!"
Yunxuan sneered, "I'm not a bully, just dig it out!"
"Madam, look at her and you don't care about her!"
Yuanchu smiled and said, "Stop talking so much, you two, and get to work!"
Xuan Yue had no choice but to immerse herself in work, and soon she dug up a pile of soil. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, she saw that they were actually lifting the mud up. This was really laborious, but in the future, they would pull it up with their hands like this when fetching water. Then come and fetch it. The hands of those little girls in the water are still missing. She thought about it, and when she went back soon, she asked Engineer He to help make three winch frames and place them on the wellhead so that everyone could fetch water later.
Xuan Yue dug for more than half an hour and finally dug out all the mud around the stone. Yuan Chuyi looked at the stone. It was about one meter two or three meters in diameter and at least five meters high. According to visual inspection, it weighed at least a dozen tons.
"If we want to get the stone out, it seems we can only make the well wall wider and then lift the stone out!" Yuan Chuyi said.
"Hang, hang it out!" Wang Jiagui and others were so shocked that they couldn't speak. "How can you lift such a big stone?"
Even if all the men in their village tried to pull such a big stone, they probably wouldn't have enough strength to pull it up!
Yuan Chuyi chuckled, "Don't worry, everyone, let's dig a bigger well first, and I'll figure out how to hang it up tomorrow!"
Seeing what Wang Jiagui said on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Jiagui had no choice but to continue digging the well wall and enlarging the well mouth above the stone. On the first day of the Yuan Dynasty, I went home to prepare ropes and asked for help from Foreman He to make brackets and pulleys.
When everyone dug the well wall the next day, she asked Xuan Yue and the others to take these materials and lead five horses to the well. Everyone in the village wanted to know how she could lift such a big stone. When they saw her coming with people and tools, they all gathered at the well to watch the fun.
