Quick Wear Dream Qiqi

Chapter 70: The Ancient Exile Control Group 28 End

Meng Qiqi thought that the underground river water here could solve the problem of water shortage in the desert.

However, bringing underground river water to the village requires manpower and a certain amount of time, which is a huge project.

After Meng Qiqi returned to Motu Village, she first went to talk to Village Chief Liu about the matter.

Village chief Liu was very excited after hearing this. He immediately gathered the villagers and announced the good news to everyone.

The villagers expressed their willingness to work together to bring underground river water to the village.

So, Meng Qiqi led a group of young and strong villagers to start digging the tunnel.

In the dim light of dawn, a group of hardworking figures have gathered on this sleeping land. Carrying their dreams and sweat, they are ready to dig an underground passage leading to Motu Village.

The air was filled with the mixed smell of soil and sweat, which naturally indicated that this would be an arduous and challenging task.

With the first shovel of soil falling, the excavation work officially began.

The villagers wore light, heavy, rough clothes and a piece of cloth on their heads to protect themselves from dust. They held shovels and pickaxes, with clear division of labor and orderly operations.

Their movements were powerful and coordinated, and every swing seemed to challenge the depths of the earth.

As time went by, the sun gradually rose higher, and the sunlight shone through the sparse clouds, dappling the busy dry land.

Sweat slid down the villagers' cheeks and dripped into the soil, as if it was nature's best testimony to their hard work.

But even so, they did not slack off at all and still maintained high morale and firm belief.

During the process of digging the soil, the villagers occasionally encountered hard rocks or complex geological structures, which brought considerable difficulties to them.

But with the help of Meng Qiqi's reminders, the villagers overcame these difficulties one by one.

As the excavation deepened, a spacious and bright underground passage gradually appeared before everyone.

The villagers worked day and night, and although they encountered many difficulties and challenges, they did not give up.

So, after a period of effort, they finally succeeded in bringing underground river water into the village.

People cheered and thanked God for his favor.

Before long, the news that Motu Village suddenly had a water source spread throughout the desert.

From then on, the desert areas had an endless supply of water, and crops would thrive, and people’s lives would be greatly improved.

Meng Qiqi also dug a well in her own yard, which was specially drawn from underground river water.

After finishing her breakfast, Meng Qiqi sat by the window and concentrated on embroidering the handkerchief in her hand.

Her fingers moved lightly between the needle and thread, like a dancing butterfly.

Every stitch and every thread is delicate and precise, as if telling of her inner emotions.

The sunlight shone on her, illuminating her gentle face.

Her eyes revealed a kind of tranquility and concentration, as if the whole world only consisted of her and the handkerchief in her hand.

The pattern on the handkerchief gradually emerged, and beautiful flowers bloomed on the delicate cloth, appearing lifelike.

Meng Qiqi meticulously depicts the details of each petal to make them more vivid and lifelike.

Time passed quietly, and before I knew it, the handkerchief was almost finished.

Meng Qiqi gently put down the needle and thread in her hand and looked at her work with satisfaction.

This is not just a handkerchief, but also a solace for her to pass the time in the morning, and also her yearning for a better life.

Just then, there was a knock on the door outside.

Meng Tingting was outside the door. She came to Meng Qiqi's house as if she had forgotten the discord between them.

In a few days, she will be getting married. After all, Meng Qiqi is her third half-sister.

At least we have to give her some dowry!

As soon as Meng Qiqi opened the door, she heard Meng Tingting's shameless words.

"I'm getting married soon. As my sister, won't you prepare some dowry for me?" Meng Tingting said straight to the point.

"Sister, you're getting married. Congratulations. But I'm a weak woman. How can I possibly prepare a dowry for you?" Meng Qiqi replied with a smile, a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Meng Tingting's face changed. She didn't expect Meng Qiqi to refuse so directly: "Don't be so stingy. Look at your yard, it's well organized, and your life is getting better and better. Can't you help your sister?"

"Of course I hope my sister is happy, but that doesn't mean I have to give up everything to satisfy your request. Besides, all this is the result of my own hard work." Meng Qiqi said firmly.

Meng Tingting was furious: "You're so proud now, aren't you? If you don't want to add some dowry to me, that's fine. But you even pretend to reject me. You're going too far!"

"You just found out today!" Meng Qiqi replied calmly, "But if you continue to pester me, I don't mind giving you a few slaps."

After saying that, Meng Qiqi turned around and went back into the house, continuing to embroider her handkerchief, no longer paying attention to Meng Tingting outside the door.

Seeing this, Meng Tingting could only leave in disappointment.

Meng Qiqi didn't take Meng Tingting's words to heart at all. After all, she was just an unimportant person.

Meng Qiqi plans to make a few beautiful gauze skirts for herself.

She carefully selected soft silk fabrics, with a light blue base dotted with delicate white flowers, like twinkling stars in the night sky.

She carefully cut the fabric, sewed it into a fitted skirt, and then used silver thread to outline the exquisite patterns.

Every stitch and every thread reflects her hard work and ingenuity.

At the neckline of her dress, she inlaid a crystal clear sapphire, which shone like the deep starry sky.

The hem of the skirt flutters in the wind, like a dream.

On the other hand, Meng Tingting thought that her life would be better after getting married and she would no longer have to pay rent.

But who knew that although she didn't have to pay rent, she still had to do as much housework as before, and it was even doubled.

Every day before dawn, Meng Tingting has to get up to cook, wash clothes and clean the house, but her mother-in-law is very picky about her and will scold her if she is dissatisfied with her at all.

Her husband had no feelings for her at all. He often went out to have a good time and treated her coldly when he came home.

Meng Tingting not only has to endure physical fatigue, but also mental pain.

She often thought of her previous free and independent life and felt regretful.

However, the reality could not be changed, and she could only endure it all silently.

Time flies, and it’s after the New Year.

Meng Qiqi looked at the peonies in the courtyard. Against the backdrop of the emerald green leaves, the peonies looked particularly delicate and beautiful.

The gorgeous peony flowers attract butterflies and bees, adding endless vitality and vigor to spring.

Meng Qiqi walked into the peony courtyard. There were colorful peonies in full bloom. She bent down to smell their fragrance. The cool and rich fragrance slid into her lungs and seeped into her heart like silk.

Soon, a few years passed like an arrow. Looking back on the past, I feel filled with emotion.

Those who were once young and frivolous are now in their thirties.

Time flies and years are like songs, but what remains unchanged is the longing and pursuit for a better future.

Although Meng Yuanyuan is not married like Meng Qiqi, she has to work hard every day to pay the rent, embroidering handkerchiefs day and night.

It was not until he was old and ugly that he saved enough money to buy a one-bedroom mud house.

Lin Yunxi failed to win Meng Qiqi's heart and finally married Chen Minmin because of his parents' reasons.

The two brothers Mo Yuchen and Mo Yuhe became close friends with Meng Qiqi, which was another kind of companionship. They got together from time to time.

When Meng Qiqi was almost a hundred years old, System Xiaojiu also came back.
