Chapter 96
The young daughter-in-law was actually holding a hoe, with her head buried in her head, and she was digging hard at the land surrounded by another field dam. It was obvious that she was also loosening the soil.
But the speed is obviously much, much, much faster than that of a cow...
After being stunned for a moment, Ji Jingbai reluctantly followed his little wife, and he continued to drive the oxen, hold the plow, and plow the ground.
A little bit of plowing is a good thing.
It can be considered as helping my little daughter-in-law a little bit.
Even if the little daughter-in-law just wants to play, she doesn't need his help at all.
When Ji Daya saw this scene, she was stunned. She stayed there for a while before she regained consciousness. Then she continued to use the dung basket and pick up soil to fill in the low land and level it.
It only took two days for all the soil to be loosened.
This loosened the soil and naturally leveled the land enclosed by the field dam. Ji Daya had not leveled much in the past two days. As soon as Ye Guoguo and Ji Jingbai finished loosening the soil, they were on the same level as Ji Daya.
.
Leveling the land was a bit troublesome. It didn't take much effort, but it didn't work without strength either. Therefore, it took three days to level all the land surrounded by fields and dams.
The terraces on this mountain are now fully formed.
Except there is no water.
But that doesn't stop it from being spectacular.
People in Anbo Village and several surrounding villages were extremely surprised when they saw the terraced fields on the mountain. They opened their mouths and were speechless. Is this what it looks like?
But everyone feels more of a pity. They feel that without water, everything is in vain. Planting in dry land may not yield much harvest. It is really too far away from the water source, and it is really unrealistic to carry water for watering.
Finally, Ji Daya also thought about the water problem. As she and her brother and sister-in-law finished work and went down the mountain to go home, they asked: "Brother, sister-in-law, the fields have been planted, what should we do if there is no water?"
Ji Jingbai said: "Your sister-in-law said to divert water."
Ji Daya: "How to lead?"
Ye Guoguo said cheerfully: "Use Nanzhu as a guide."
Ji Daya: "Nanzhu?"
Ye Guoguo put the hoe on his shoulder: "Yes, Nanzhu. When I was hunting, I saw that there are water sources in the mountains, and there are more than one. We can cut Nanzhu and remove all the knots in the bamboo tubes.
Open it up, put the bamboo tails facing the bamboo heads, string them together one by one, and guide the water to our fields."
The mountains are higher than this, so water can definitely be brought here.
The bamboo poles can reach more than 20 meters in height and 20 centimeters in thickness, making them very suitable as water diversion tools.
Furthermore, it is impossible to bring water from deep mountains in a straight line. There are so many twists and turns, and some places definitely need to be bent. However, Nanzhu can be roasted by fire and broken into curves.
Just right.
Ji Jingbai said nothing, but glanced at his little wife.
Ji Daya exclaimed: "Then you are going to the mountains to divert water? I don't dare!" She was afraid of encountering wild beasts. She had never gone into the mountains.
Ye Guoguo: "Then it's fine if you don't go. I don't have to ask you to go."
Ji Daya felt a little embarrassed and said with a naive smile: "But I also want to help."
"Then let's do this. You follow me when the time comes and I will protect you." The very petite Ye Guoguo said.
"Hey!" Ji Daya, who was very tall and sturdy, immediately nodded happily.
Ji Jingbai: "..."
Ye Guoguo added: "However, in order to prevent the bamboo pipes from being destroyed by wild beasts in the mountains, we will have to bury all the bamboo pipes for water diversion underground."
"Hey!" As long as people are not in danger, Ji Daya has no objection.
Ji Jingbai responded lightly: "Yes."
We chatted like this all the way home, but before we reached the door of the house, we saw several clerks from the liquor store waiting there, and there were several carriages parked nearby.
On the ground next to the carriage, there were six large vats and ten jars of wine.
