Chapter 245: Not optimistic

"Quite your breath, calm your breath, tell them what's the matter, I'll tell

them!"

Father Xu came to Niu Dali, accompanied by a smiling face, "What's the matter,

see my face, don't get angry, let's calm down, let's talk slowly."

"Brother Xu, it's really not our old cow who is picking bones in the egg. Go

and see what those people are doing. Just the bucket will be broken in a short

time."

"How many water can the bucket hold?"

"If this waterwheel is set up like this, it will look like a good one, and it

won't work!"

"This is smashing my sign!"

Don't blame Niu for being angry. As a craftsman, what he values most is

whether the things he makes can be used and whether it is easy to use.

Even though some of the parts were not made by him himself, he was supervising

the work. In the end things were made, and he couldn't just pat his ** and

leave after taking the money.

And if this waterwheel is rectified, who else in the entire Anshun County

would recognize him as a great skill?

This is not just smashing the signboard, it is completely smashing his great

job.

He could bear without hitting others, he already saw the face of Mr. Xu.

After all, Mr. Xu was the elder brother he recognized, he was invited by Mr.

Xu, and things got out of hand. In the end, Mr. Xu was the one who was

embarrassed.

Because Niu Dali can leave without hesitation.

"Brother, I wronged you!"

Father Xu patted Niu Dali on the shoulder and understood that Niu Dali was

already restraining because of him.

"I'll take care of this!"

Because of the remnants of the previous dynasty, Mr. Xu was also suffocating

in his stomach. Now, coming here is these bad things again, and the anger in

this heart is rising.

"Guan Laojiu, it's you!"

When Mr. Xu walked from a distance, he had already seen who was snarling Niu

Dali.

Guan Laojiu is a well-known carpenter craftsman in Lingshui Village. And he

and Guan Laojiu were born to the same parents. In this Lingshui Village where

the Guan surname is the main name, as the brother of the patriarch, Guan

Laojiu is also very famous.

However, his card face arrived at Mr. Xu's place, and it was totally

unworkable.

"Pack your things and get out!"

Mr. Xu controlled his temper and didn't do anything.

This is to give face to Guan Laoqi, and also to give face to the fathers of

Guan Laoqi and Guan Laojiu who died young.

Guan Laojiu was directly named by Mr. Xu, and he was also taken aback.

Because his relationship with Mr. Xu is not bad either.

Especially when he was young, he followed Mr. Xu around for a long time. It's

just that when I grew up and got married, the relationship gradually faded.

However, in Guan Laoqi's heart, he and Old Man Xu are old friends, and it is

incomparable to an outsider Niu Dali.

"Brother Xu, no, listen to me to explain!"

Guan Laojiu stood up, "I am not—"

"Old nine, what kind of temper are you, I know!"

Father Xu raised his hand to interrupt Guan Laojiu's explanation, "When I was

young, you often followed me. If you pretend to be big, you are the one I grew

up with, it's not too much."

"Don't explain this matter today, and I won't listen."

"If you want to recognize my brother, don't say anything, pack your things

honestly and go!"

If it weren't for the first friendship, Mr. Xu really didn't want to save Guan

Laojiu's face.

Mr. Xu knew exactly what Xiao Jiujiu Guan Laojiu played. It's nothing more

than thinking that he can play around with building a waterwheel.

Wanting to find an excuse to squeeze the cow away vigorously, he came to do

this business. But Mr. Xu understood that this ** thing is a mastery and

low-handed. This waterwheel is related to the livelihood of a villager. Can it

be a joke?

If the waterwheel is so easy to build, there will not be only a few well-known

waterwheel builders in Anshun County.

Although some people in this world do not live up to their names.

But the craftsman eats craft rice.

Under the prestigious reputation, there are no vacancies. As for the

craftsmen, there will be basically no big deviations.

"Okay, okay, I'm going!"

Facing the angry but unsatisfied old man Xu, Guan Laojiu packed up his things

well aware of the current affairs and left.

And after dealing with Guan Laojiu's stingy head, the rest of the people don't

need Old Father Xu to beat him again, and they all understand who should

listen to when working here.

"How? How long will it take to fix it?"

After Father Xu shocked the audience, he pulled Niu vigorously to the side to

speak.

"As long as you seize the time to get your hands out of work, at most five

days, the first waterwheel can be erected in no time."

"This is good, this is good!"

When Mr. Xu heard this, he was relieved.

"Brother Xu, don't be too happy too soon!"

Niu Dali didn't wait for Father Xu to be happy for a while, so he poured cold

water on him.

"If you really encounter a severe drought like twenty years ago, the surface

of the Taohua River will continue to fall. By that time, the waterwheel will

not be able to eat water, and it will be useless!"

"Uh……"

Old man Xu grimaced, "You kid can't look forward to it, okay?"

In the severe drought twenty years ago, the fields in Xiangyi Mansion were

almost without crops. If it weren't for the court's disaster relief, it would

have been timely, but that year, I don't know how many people would die.

But even so, I still heard that some elderly people died on a hunger strike

just to save a few more meals for the rest of the family.

That year, Mr. Xu went to the mountains to hunt, relying on game and wild

vegetables, plus the court's relief food, the family can be considered to be

carried down.

"Brother, to be honest, I also want to be raining!"

"But in the past two days I was repairing a waterwheel by the river. According

to my observation, this severe drought is inevitable."

"Sure enough, ** is still hot."

"My old man's eyes are really poisonous!"

"Then what else? Keep your grain quietly!"

Mr. Xu looked up at the blue sky above his head, not to mention how bad it

was.

"Do your best, obey the fate!"

Coming back from the river, Mr. Xu saw his daughter-in-law who was playing

with Fubao in the yard. The distress on his face instantly disappeared, put on

a smiling face, and came to the front with a smile.

"Father's little Fubao, do you miss dad?"

"what!"

Fu Bao looked sideways at the old man who greeted her, and his eyes narrowed

slightly. Why does she always think that his father's smile is so fake?

"came back?"

"How's the waterwheel repaired?"

Old Mrs. Xu looked at Mr. Xu with a slightly serious expression. From the day

when Mr. Xu said there was a severe drought, she was also paying attention to

the weather.

There are some things, if you don't pay attention to it, you will feel

nothing.

But once you turn your attention to it, you will find that there are problems

everywhere and nothing is right.

Today's old lady Xu also firmly believes that this day will be a severe

drought.

"At most five days, the first waterwheel can be erected."

"It's just that, I heard from Dali, their father thinks this year's drought

can be compared with the drought that happened 20 years ago."
