Chapter 116 Diverting Mountain Spring

Bai Yunxi stared at him and reminded him gently, "We have done all the troublesome things in the wasteland, and that's all. If you want to have a full barn, you can't be afraid of hardship."

Hearing her mother's analysis, Bai Anyi's face turned red and nodded.

“What mother said is right, it's my son's old problem.”

He needs to change. He is no different now than before. He is the male child of the family and has to support his family. He cannot rely on me for everything. He used to be lazy because someone else would do it if he didn't do it.

Everyone is very busy now and he cannot hold back.

“Mom, don't worry. I'll go to the forest with my second brother later to cut bamboo and divert the spring water down.”

　　　'Mother is right, trouble once will save you many years of worry. '

Seeing that he was still reflecting, Bai Yunxi felt a lot more comfortable, "Okay, it's almost time. Let's go fishing and deliver goods to restaurants."

As soon as Bai Anyi's eyes lit up, he was afraid that his mother would forget about it.

In the following days, everyone had a clear division of labor and worked hard.

In the morning, Baiyunxi and his sons went to open up wasteland and transport fertilizer. In the afternoon, I went fishing and sent them to town. My days were busy and fulfilling.

As for the gossip in the village, they didn't even have time to listen.

Nothing is as important as opening up wasteland and making money.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed. Baiyunxi has received two more coins, and the **** of the back mountain has been cleared.

Ever since he learned that pine needles can be fertilized, Bai Anyan, apart from clearing land, spends his free time transporting pine needles down the mountain without resting for a moment.

Sometimes Baiyunxi can't stand it anymore and asks him to take a rest. The baby always smiles and says that it takes a lot of effort to open up wasteland, and transporting pine needles is the time to rest and relax.

In just half a month, he built three piles in the field. He still followed Baiyun Xi's instructions, adding a layer of pine needles and a layer of soil, and sprinkling water once every two days.

Pine needles are mixed with soil and ferment quickly when exposed to water. Every time water is sprinkled, white smoke can be seen coming out, proving that the temperature in the dung pile is very high.

After the sloping land was opened, Baiyunxi told Lao Er about the later irrigation. The first thing to do was to transform the sloping land into the shape of terraces, which would be conducive to later irrigation.

Bai Yunxi was afraid that people would not understand, so he squatted on the ground and simulated the appearance of terraced fields for him. Unexpectedly, Bai Anyan was not only used to farm work, but he was definitely a talented player in farming, and he knew everything about it.

After the shape of the terraces was finalized, the two chose a location on the uphill **** according to the terrain and dug a reservoir. In addition to diverting mountain spring water, they could also store rainwater.

In order to retain water, Baiyunxi also asked his sons to dig a lot of clay from the river and paint it around the reservoir like painting a wall. This can reduce water seepage losses.

After the reservoir was completed, Bai Anyan and his two brothers started cutting bamboo to connect the water pipes. Because the noise was too loud, many people in the village were attracted to watch the fun.

After learning that they were going to bring water down from the mountain spring, many people laughed behind their backs and said they were fooling around and not doing serious business.

Finally, Baiyun Song was summoned directly. He came to this wasteland and walked around with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the sloping land they dug out, in addition to dung piles and large pits, bamboos, those who didn't know would have thought they were going to build a house and lay a foundation for it.

“Cousin, what are you doing?”

"Chief, the wasteland has been opened up. Next year I am going to try to grow food. As you know, this **** is far from the river and irrigation is inconvenient. I just want to bring it from the mountain spring so that I won't have to worry about irrigation in the future. .”
