The whole family traveled through the hidden mountains, and the general always came to get the wool

After a few days of minor adjustments, the Su family began the busy spring plowing.

In his previous life, the farm at home was all mechanized for farming, and Dad Su had never come into contact with ox-drawn plowing. He had only seen it when traveling to remote areas.

When the ox was first harnessed to the curved plow and sent to the field, it was not quite used to it, but after half an hour it gradually began to get the hang of it.

The cows and horses at home have all been fed with spiritual spring water, so the cows have become more spiritual, no longer lose their temper, and are more obedient to commands.

The land that was cultivated with a tiller last year is relatively easy to plow with oxen this year.

I have to say that the curved plow is better to use than the plows of this era. When Su's father went to get the finished curved plow, the blacksmith even pestered Su's father to buy the blueprints.

However, Su's father did not charge any money and told the blacksmith to make the iron and sell it. Su's father thought that it was also a contribution to the farming culture of that era.

In the end, the blacksmith confiscated the money for the two plows from Su's father and returned the deposit to him.

Su's father was responsible for driving the cattle to plow the land, while Su's mother took Su Weixi to dig holes and plant seeds.

Xiao Huihui loves being in a lively environment. He runs around Su Weihou every day. Su Weixi can't stand his idle appearance of "not working" and wants to tease him.

He used dried meat as bait and tricked the energetic wolf into covering the pit where the seeds had just been planted.

I was originally just teasing Little Gray, but I didn't expect it to use its nose to dig or its little paws to dig. Except for the fact that it was not skilled at the beginning and buried a lot of soil, it buried it pretty well later on.

In the end, Xiao Huihui was responsible for covering the pits where the seeds were planted, and he was having a lot of fun. Seeing that he was not tired, Su Weixi felt contented to use this "little child laborer".

Xiaobai would sit under a big tree not far from the field every day, licking his fur leisurely and watching the silly wolf being tricked into working by his little master.

Spring ploughing is important, but the health of the family is more important. Except for the noon when the sun is scorching, we go to the fields in the morning and when it is relatively cool.

In fact, as long as the Su family wanted, they could live a good life without relying on these things, but the Su family is not lazy by nature.

This time, Su Weixi carefully looked through the seeds in his space and planted more varieties of vegetables than last year, so that he could satisfy his appetite.

After more than a month of hard work, we finally completed the planting of several acres of land.

Su Weixi also asked his father to open up a few acres of land in the yard to plant the watermelon seedlings found in the space. He couldn't guarantee whether it would be successful, so he would dilute some spiritual spring water for watering in the first few days.

Ten days later, seeing that the watermelon seedlings were growing stronger and stronger, I stopped diluting the spiritual spring water for watering and instead used river water for normal watering.

Because this year his family has settled down in the Da Sheng Dynasty, he is more focused on farming this time than last year. Unlike last year when he was in a hurry and just muddled through without any clue.

In addition, there are more varieties of vegetables planted this year, and the amount of water required for vegetables is far more than that for crops, which also made Su Weixi realize that watering is a big project.

If the three of them were to rely on carrying water from the river every day, they would be exhausted sooner or later.

So when I was resting at night, I went into the space to look for the books I had stockpiled before. I vaguely remembered that Su Ma had collected some books about craftsmanship and construction.

After searching for several nights, Su Weixi finally found the exploded diagram and step-by-step diagram of waterwheel construction in a book about the history of waterwheels.

"Mom and Dad, take a look." After dinner, Su Weixi put the book in front of his father.

Su's father and mother looked at their daughter with confusion, not knowing what was going on.

It was not until the two of them picked up the book on the table and read it that they roughly understood what Su Weixi meant.

"You want me to make a waterwheel?"

"Yes, it's too tiring for us to carry water every day. We don't have much time to rest."

"But your father has never done any carpentry work, so the chicken coop he built is barely passable."

"We have the book here, so let's give it a try. It doesn't need to be too big, as long as it can draw water from the river."

Su's mother still thought it was unlikely, but Su's father thought it might be feasible after reading the book carefully.

"Let me try making a small model first." In the end, Su's father's words determined the direction of development.

Father Su is a man with quick execution ability. This is due to his personality and is also a habit left over from his ten years of military service in his previous life.

The next day, Su's father found some leftover wood from the warehouse and began to study the waterwheel model.

After calculating the proportional reduction data based on the dimensions in the book, each board is cut and assembled according to the exploded diagram in the book.

However, he was a layman after all, and turning a waterwheel was a delicate job. Su's father often had many minor wounds on his hands from being scratched by the tools.

Su's mother looked at it every day with hesitation, trying to persuade Su's father to give up, but Su's father found some fun in it. Apart from fetching water to water the fields and eating, he would hold tools and wood and study the drawings.

God helps those who work hard. Ten days later, Dad Su finally made a small model and excitedly found a basin of water to try it out.

Su Weixi looked at the waterwheel model. It was not as exquisite as the one he had seen in his previous life, but it looked similar in appearance. He thought it might be possible. After all, the methods in the book were really detailed.

"Oh, it's moving, water is really coming out!" Su Ma said loudly in surprise as she watched the waterwheel turning.

"My dad is still the best!" Su Weixi gave a thumbs up to his father.

"It's all thanks to the books your mother stockpiled. The biggest contributor is your mother, who is thoughtful." Su's wife is the best martial artist.

Su Weixi has become immune to her parents' various displays of affection.

The success of the small waterwheel further motivated Su's father. He started taking the cows to dig irrigation canals every morning and evening when the weather was cooler. When the temperature rose, he would focus on making the waterwheel at home.

Su Weixi and Su Ma took care of the logistical work and other matters at home. Su Ma was the main force. After all, in this body of Su Weixi, he would only be eleven years old after his birthday this year, and he was still a primary school student in his previous life.

With previous experience, the manufacture of the large waterwheel went much more smoothly.

Half a month later, Su's father finally built the waterwheel and installed it on the river bank. Looking at the river water flowing into the canal, Su Weixi breathed a sigh of relief. From now on, Su's father would not have to work hard to carry water to irrigate the fields.

All it takes is one person every day to take a watering canal and sprinkle water on the vegetable fields and crops that need watering.

When watering the plants at the beginning, they had to bend over or squat on the ground to scoop water every day, and change positions from time to time. Su Weixi saw that the waists of the whole family were becoming more and more hunched.

I immediately thought of the time when I traveled to the mountains in my previous life and saw the ladles that farmers used to scoop manure water. The poles were very long.

So I asked Su's father to make a common pole and install it on the watering can. From then on, I no longer had to squat or bend over, I could just stand and water the plants.

The vegetable fields and crops are growing better than last year. Fertilizer has not been an issue for five years. After last year's autumn harvest, Su's father made a lot of organic fertilizer using poultry manure, household kitchen waste, and rotten leaves from the mountain.

There was nothing important to do for a long time afterwards, and the family lived a leisurely life with enough food and drink.

Su Weixi focuses on making different kinds of delicious food for Su's father and mother every day, and in the evening she will write down the dishes she made that day as recipes.

However, what Su Weixi, who was summarizing the recipe, didn't know was that a big trouble was on the way to their home.
