After the separation, the family had a lot of fish and meat every day, and the best was furious

Jiang Lan took the oil-paper package from Lin Ting's hand, opened it and saw that it contained preserved fruits that cost fifty cents per pound. This was not something a family like theirs could afford.

"Lin Ting, this? This thing is too expensive. Take it back and give it to Wan Yi to eat. I can't accept it."

Seeing such an expensive item coming out of Lin Ting's hand, Jiang Lan even suspected that Lin Ting had stolen all the money in their family to buy it.

"Aunt Jiang, you're welcome. My mother-in-law and I bought this this morning. Xiaobao still has a pack, which is enough for her.

Just take these as a snack. We have a lot of things to do in the future and we will need to trouble you and the village chief."

Jiang Lan felt relieved when she heard that he went to buy it with Yang Xiuxiu.

I just wonder, how can Shen Dali's family, who are so poor, be able to buy these expensive things to eat now?

"Is it any trouble? We are all from the same village, so we should take care of each other."

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Jiang Lan, Lin Ting asked, "Aunt Jiang, where is the village chief repairing the canal? I'll go find him."

Jiang Lan smiled and gave Lin Ting directions: "It's at the foot of Wushan Mountain, in the field near the foot of the mountain."

Lin Ting roughly knew the location, so he said goodbye to Jiang Lan and went to find the village chief. He also wanted to take a look at the land allocated to their family.

A few days ago, her father-in-law also said that he was going to repair the canal, but she didn’t know what the situation was like.

Although he did not work, Lin Ting still knew where his own fields were in the village. At the foot of Wushan Village, the two acres of fields next to each other were their fields.

Further on is the village chief's field. The weather is so hot that the water in the field has dried up and the mud is seeping out.

Originally there was a mountain spring in the valley of Wushan, but a canal had to be dug to bring the water here.

The canal has to go around another mountainside when coming from the col. Because it has been flooded for a long time, this mountainside has collapsed, completely destroying the canal that can bring water to the rice fields.

The village chief and several villagers were there studying and wondering how to build a new canal.

"Village chief, everyone is here!"

Lin Ting went over to greet a few people. They were all from the same village and everyone knew Lin Ting.

"Isn't this Shen Qingzhou's wife? After you split up, did you also come to see the fields?"

One of the guys, who was about the same age as Shen Qingzhou, said.

"Of course, everyone depends on this little piece of land for their livelihood."

The other party had no ill intentions, and Lin Ting answered him calmly.

Everyone who relied on this canal for water came to see the landslide on the mountainside. The soil had all slid away, leaving only the rocks.

Digging a canal in a rocky slope is not an easy task. The seedlings in the field cannot wait until the canal is completed.

So everyone was very worried and at a loss.

"Village chief, our fields are all dry. With the strong sun now, the fields will crack in three days. What should we do with our rice seedlings?"

Lin Ting also looked up at the sky. The weather was so good that it wouldn't rain for ten days or half a month.

"Now we have to figure out how to build a canal. The mountainside is all rocky, and we have to all chip away at it to get the spring water to the fields."

They had to chisel the stone and carve it into the shape of a canal. If they relied on just a few families, it would take at least a month to complete the work, covering a distance of more than 30 meters.

Lin Ting took a look at the distance from the mountain spring water to the field. If it came in a straight line, it wouldn’t be very far.

She touched her chin and suddenly thought of a good idea.

"Village chief, I have a plan that will bring water to all the fields in our area today."

When the seven or eight people in the village heard what Lin said, they all laughed. Isn't this just a foolish dream?

Moreover, as the most famous villain in Wushan Village, everyone knows that Lin Ting can do nothing but eat.

"If Shen Qingzhou said this, we might believe it, but Qingzhou's wife, please don't waste everyone's time."

Shen Qingzhou is recognized as the smartest person in Wushan Village, but now he doesn't talk to or meet anyone.

"Forget it if you don't believe it."

Anyway, no one has come up with any good ideas, the village chief said to Lin Ting.

"Qingzhou's wife, we are all here today to discuss and find a solution. Why don't you tell us how we can bring water to the fields within a day?"

Lin Ting picked up a branch and squatted beside the soft soil to draw.

"Depending on the location of the mountain spring water, we can use bamboo to replace the canals. Without the traditional canals, we can also bring water to the fields."

Look at what Lin Ting drew. First, cut down the nanmu bamboo, split it in half, and then open up the bamboo nodes inside.

It is completely feasible to make a straight channel and build a three-legged cross-bracket under the bamboo as a support.

Moreover, you can make a bamboo canal according to the distance of your own fields, so that every family's fields will have water.

"Hahaha... That's a good idea. Quick, everyone with knives, go to the foot of the mountain and cut bamboo."

The bamboo at the foot of the mountain belongs to the village chief's family, and what Lin heard is really worth a try.

Everyone left, leaving only the village chief and Lin Ting waiting there.

In order to have a meal, you not only have to rely on God to give it to you, but you also have to learn to change your environment.

The village chief stared at Lin Ting. Her actions today really gave him a new understanding of her.

I have to say that Lin Ting is really smart to come up with this idea in such a short time.

"Lin Ting, they'll cut down the bamboo soon. You'll be in charge and teach them how to build the bamboo canal."

"it is good!"

Of course Lin Ting is willing to do anything that is beneficial to his livelihood, and most of the villagers are simple and honest and have no bad intentions.

Soon, people started cutting down the nanmu bamboos and also cut a lot of vines growing on the mountain to use for binding.

Lin Ting first used a thin branch to measure the direction and the height of the supporting tripod.

The canal needs to be high at one end and low at the other to divert water. Although she is not strong enough, seven or eight men are willing to follow her arrangements at this moment.

The bamboo was very long and there were many people, so in just over an hour, under Lin Ting's leadership, three main canals were made.

Drill a few holes in this main bamboo canal, and let the water flow out from under the holes. Then use another bamboo canal to collect the remaining water and divert it to your own fields.

The villagers also cut more bamboo and took care of the two acres of land belonging to Lin Ting's family.

The amount of water is not very large, but it accumulates over time, and as long as there is water in the fields, it will become a large paddy field in just a few days.

Looking at the completed bamboo canal, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They stood there and talked happily about their own work.

Such a big problem was easily solved by Lin Ting, and the village chief's face was full of smiles.

"Lin Ting, I don't think you're here to see Tian. Are you here to see me?"

Lin Ting smiled and nodded. "I can't hide anything from you, Village Chief. I came here to see you. I want to ask you about the situation with our family using the vegetable plot as a foundation for building a house."
