I rely on infrastructure systems to build a prosperous village

Chapter 29: Fairy Brother-in-law, My Sister Will Definitely Support You

"Xiaobao, you have reached another level. Have you unlocked any medicines?" Li Lan said to Zhou Yuntian, who was lying on the kang with his eyes closed and a frown on his face.

"Host, several medicines have been unlocked. There are antipyretics, anti-inflammatory drugs, and antidiarrheal drugs."

"Xiaobao, you are the main one now, I ask you questions and you answer them."

"Hehe, host, this will make our communication smoother. You ask and I answer, hahahaha, this is fun."

Li Lan rolled his eyes. This system was getting more and more stupid. He didn't know who learned it from.

She took out an anti-inflammatory pill and gave it to Zhou Yuntian, who was lying on the kang, to take. Then she took out a fever-reducing pill wrapped in yellow paper and handed it to Li Chunping.

"Dad, there's a fever-reducing pill in this paper packet. If he has a fever tonight, give it to him."

"Okay, girl." Li Chunping took the paper package without asking where it came from. Now the whole family had a tacit understanding about what Li Lan took out.

Li Lan turned and walked out. Not long after, he walked back in.

"My daughter, why are you back again? Go to bed quickly, it's quite late." Li Chunping urged Li Lan as she walked in with her hands behind her back.

"I know, Dad. I'll go back to my room and sleep after I'm done."

As he spoke, Li Lan walked to the kang, took out his hands from behind his back, and rubbed Zhou Yuntian's fair face, which soon turned black.

"Oh, he's turned into a black boy." Li Chunping came over and laughed.

Li Lan looked at his masterpiece, smiled and nodded with satisfaction. This pot ash is good, it's because this guy is so eye-catching.

The next day, all the families were up. Since the family had already divided up, but the other families hadn't moved out yet, they took turns going to the kitchen to make breakfast and then bringing it back to their own rooms to eat.

Li Lan got up, washed up, and went straight to Li Chunhua's room.

"Dad, did he have a fever last night?"

When Li Chunping saw that it was his daughter, he excitedly said, "Daughter, you are really amazing. He had a fever late at night, and I immediately gave him the medicine you gave him. After taking it, the fever was gone in less than half an hour. Daughter, do we have any more of this medicine?"

Li Lan looked at his father's excited expression and nodded with a smile.

"Dad, go have breakfast. You have to go with grandma, uncle, and third uncle later to measure the paddy fields and look at the wasteland for building a house. I don't think he will wake up for a while."

"Okay, girl. Where should we choose to build our house?"

Li Lan thought for a moment and said, "Third Uncle will probably choose the plot of land in the middle of the village. We'll choose the plot at the north end of the mountain behind. We'll build it together with Fourth Uncle and Grandma's house."

"Okay, Dad got it." After saying that, Li Chunping and Li Lan walked towards their house together.

Not long after finishing the meal, Li Lan was about to go see Zhou Yuntian when Li Run ran over.

"Sister, sister, the little wooden boy from Master Tian's family is calling you."

Li Lan thought about it and should have guessed what it was. She slapped her head hard and almost forgot about the important thing.

I walked out quickly and saw a chubby little boy about five years old standing in the yard. He looked very well-fed. It was rare to find such a well-fed child in such a disaster year.

"Sister Lan, my grandfather asked me to call you over and take a look. He said that the things are ready." A soft voice sounded.

Is it really done? Although Li Lan had guessed that this was the case, he was still shocked when he heard it with his own ears. He couldn't help but sigh: The craftsman spirit of the ancients was really extremely high.

"Okay, okay, I'll be there right now. Xiaorun, keep an eye on the guy in the east room." As he said that, he took Xiaomutou's hand and walked out of the yard.

Arriving at Li Youtian's house, I saw a large wooden structure in the yard. It consisted of a cylindrical wooden barrel, approximately two meters long, with thick walls and a sealed bottom. Above the barrel, a long bamboo pipe connected to a water source was attached. A wooden valve, designed to control the flow of water, was installed at the end of the pipe.

Li Lan observed the water hammer pump carefully, and secretly marveled at the exquisite craftsmanship. Mr. Youtian was really an extraordinary person, as he could actually restore the blueprint 1:1.

She saw a piston inside the bucket, which could move up and down due to the impact of the water flow. Under the piston, there was a bamboo water outlet pipe connected to it, which increased the water pressure and delivered it to the place where water was needed.

Li Youtian saw Li Lan looking at the finished ram pump and walked over quickly with a proud smile on his face. He said, "Lan girl, how is it? Is this what I made right?"

Hearing the question, Li Lan turned around and saw Li Youtian standing next to her. His eyes were dark and his face looked tired, but his spirits were excellent.

No wonder it was done so quickly, it seems the old man stayed up late. Li Lan thought and shook his head helplessly.

He smiled and raised his thumbs up, praising: "Master Arita, you are so amazing."

Li Youtian burst into laughter after hearing what Li Lan said.

Looking at such a great craftsman, Li Lan was full of admiration.

"Oh, Lan girl, you don't know this old man. He started thinking about it the day he got the blueprint and stayed up for two whole nights." Mrs. Wu walked in from outside the yard, glared at Li Youtian and said.

"Uncle Youtian, you have to take care of yourself. As for the water hammer pump issue, we have been suffering from drought for three years, so there is no need to rush." ​​Li Lan advised with a worried look on his face.

Seeing Mrs. Wu glaring at him, Li Youtian didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "It's okay. I know my body."

Mrs. Wu snorted, turned her head and ignored him.

Watching the interaction between the couple, Li Lan smiled and said:

"Okay, just take your time with the next few, and don't stay up late again."

"Okay, okay, okay." Li Youtian agreed with a happy smile after hearing Li Lan's caring words.

After chatting with Li Youtian for a while, Li Lan went straight to the village chief's house.

"Village chief, village chief." Li Lan shouted into the yard.

Mrs. Qiu came out of the house and saw that it was Li Lan. She said, "Lan girl, your village chief is not at home. He is watering the fields."

"Oh, okay, Grandma Qiu. Then I'll go to the farmland to find the village chief." After saying that, Li Lan turned and walked towards the farmland.

On the other side, Zhou Yuntian, who was lying on the kang, was awakened by a burning gaze.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw an enlarged round face, a child's face, with a small cloth bag on the head, staring at him with big eyes without blinking.

Zhou Yuntian was really shocked. If his face wasn't so dark, the face that prided itself on being "calm" would have collapsed.

"Hiss~" Zhou Yuntian cried out in pain after accidentally pulling the wound.

"You're awake, brother-in-law Tianxian." Li Run said, blinking his big round eyes.

Zhou Yuntian: “…”

"Brother-in-law Tianxian, what's wrong with you? Does your wound hurt? My sister said that your wound is too deep. You need to rest well. But it's okay, we are all family, I will take good care of you." Li Run patted his chest with his little hands and promised.

Zhou Yuntian: “…”

Li Run looked at Zhou Yuntian and was shocked to see that he didn't say anything. "Could this Tianxian brother-in-law be a mute? How pitiful."

Li Run, who felt that he had discovered the truth, almost wrinkled his face. After thinking for a while, he said, "Brother-in-law Tianxian, it's okay. We will all treat you well. My sister is very capable and powerful. She will definitely be able to support you."

Zhou Yuntian felt his head buzzing as he looked at the chattering child in front of him.

"Brother-in-law Tianxian, you must be hungry. I'll go to the kitchen to get you some porridge. My mother has warmed it up in the pot." After saying that, he ran out.

Watching the child leave, Zhou Yuntian calmed down and began to think that he must have been rescued and then forced to become a son-in-law. However, from what the child said, he felt that this family was not bad.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuntian couldn't help but chuckle. He never thought that there would be such a day for him. It was a cause for celebration.

In the farmland.

After hearing what Li Lan said, the village chief was so excited that he almost fell into the paddy field. Fortunately, Li Jianping, who was standing next to him, helped him up.

"Let's go, let's go quickly. Jianping, Jianan, go get a few more people, let's go move the big stuff."

……

Soon, they carried the ram pump to the nearest well, along with Li Youtian. The villagers working in the fields were curious about the unusual device and gathered around.

"Uncle Youtian, please tell us how to put it into the well?" Li Jianan was so anxious. He really wanted to see how this big guy pumped the water out of the well. He was so curious.

"Okay, okay." Li Youtian agreed with a smile.

Half an hour later.

"Water is coming out, water is coming out. The water has been pumped up." Li Jianan shouted.

The villagers watching were all amazed. Water had really come out, and they no longer had to worry about the drought this year.

Li Lan looked at the water being pumped out of the well, feeling very happy, and raised his thumb to Li Youtian again.

"Jianping, go home and get the gong, and notify everyone to go to the open space." The village chief shouted excitedly.

Li Jianping responded happily and ran home quickly.

Soon, the sound of gongs filled the entire village.

"Hey, the gong sounds. There must be something big happening in the village again." Li Run heard the gong and ran to the yard excitedly.

Zhou Yuntian, who had just finished drinking the porridge, regained some strength. Looking at Li Run running out, he couldn't help but sigh.

After a while, Li Run came back and said happily, "Brother-in-law Tianxian, the water from our village's well has been pumped up. From now on, we won't have to carry water back and forth for irrigation."

Zhou Yuntian's dark face was filled with shock. He hurriedly asked, "What did you just say? How did you pump the water out of the well?"

A low and slightly hoarse voice was heard, and Li Run opened his eyes wide and stared at the man on the kang.

"You, you, you are not mute?"

"Then why don't you speak? I thought you were a mute." Li Run said with a pout.

Zhou Yuntian smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, now my brother-in-law wants to ask you, how did you pump up the well water you just mentioned?"

If Zhou Qi were here, he would definitely say, "Sir, where is your moral integrity?"

When Li Run heard him admit that he was his brother-in-law, he said happily, "I don't know either. I just heard Uncle Jianping tell me when I went out. But I know that it was drawn by my sister."

Zhou Yuntian's eyes flashed, and he added, "Oh, your sister is so amazing. I'm so lucky to be her husband."

"Yes, it's good that you know. My sister is amazing. In the beginning, when the village was looking for water and digging wells and canals, it was my sister who took the lead. Later, seeing that it was too troublesome for everyone to carry water, she drew a blueprint and asked Uncle Youtian to make it. Brother-in-law Tianxian, my sister can also hunt. Last time, my sister led the villagers into the mountains and killed 30 wolves. Those were 30 wolves." Speaking of Li Lan, Li Run's eyes lit up and his eyes were full of admiration.

"So, brother-in-law Tianxian, my mother said that since you are so handsome, you don't have to work. Let my sister do it. She is tough and capable, and she can definitely support you." Li Run looked at Zhou Yuntian seriously and said.

After hearing what Li Run said, Zhou Yuntian observed three seconds of silence in his heart for the sister he mentioned.

He looked at Li Run, lost in thought. It seemed this woman was no ordinary woman. It seemed the plan needed to change. He shouldn't rush to notify Zhou Qi yet. He should wait and see the child's sister before making any decisions.
