Shocking! The young educated youth had just arrived and was already clashing with spies.

The family had dinner and then took a short rest before going to work.

It's summer, and the corn in the fields is at a critical stage of filling and budding. Due to lack of water, the leaves are drooping and the entire team is working from dawn to dusk, carrying water and watering the fields. They're worried that the harvest will fail and they'll starve.

When Chu Xin first met this family yesterday, she noticed that Li Xiulan rubbed Wang Qiang's shoulders from time to time, and even at such a young age, his shoulders were bleeding from being rubbed.

Although fuel-powered pumping equipment was available at that time, it was not yet fully popularized. Moreover, the Red Flag Brigade was relatively poor and lacked good materials and resources. They didn't even have a basic tractor.

The water in the canal dried up, and the members could only draw water from the well bucket by bucket to irrigate the land, or fetch water from the river. It was tedious and inefficient.

Chu Xin thought of using bicycle parts to make a simple water pumping equipment. Although it cannot be compared with a fuel water pump, it is much more efficient than carrying water manually.

Before they went to the fields, Chu Xin squatted in the yard and started working hard.

The Wang family did not have the habit of taking a nap. Except for Wang Qiang who was hiding in the house reading a book, everyone sat around Chu Xin and watched her dress up.

Chu Xin removed the tire from the wheel, fixed a wooden board on each side, made two identical brackets based on the pattern, and installed a hand crank on the other wheel.

He also strung together the free wine bottle caps he had picked up from the scrap yard with a hemp rope and then threaded the rope into the water pipe Wang Youzhi had found.

After doing all this, Chu Xin stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "Let's go to the river and try it out to see if it works!"

When Chu Xin and the Wang family arrived at the fields, some members of the cooperative had already come to fetch water.

Chu Xin asked the two brothers Wang Qiang and Wang Sheng to help him nail the finished wheel bracket into the water while the other found a place to set it up on the shore.

Wrap the hemp rope that had been used to thread the water pipe around the wheels at both ends, and then lower the water pipe into the water.

Seeing that it was installed, Chu Xin raised his hand and turned the crank handle on the wheel. The chain drove the gears, and the rope on the wheel began to circulate in and out of the water pipe, thus raising the water from the lower place to the higher place and flowing into the ground continuously!

Wang Youzhi and the other team members who had come to watch the excitement were all stunned. What the hell was this?

Wang Sheng jumped with excitement, "Sister... cough... Sister Chu, what are you doing? Why is water coming out?"

Ahem, the truth was almost revealed. My parents specifically told us not to let anyone outside know about Sister Jiaojiao’s relationship with their family.

Chu Xin shook the handle and observed the water flow, while her mouth was also busy.

"This is simple. It's based on the same principle as the keel waterwheel invented by our ancestors. This is a lightweight and simple version. It's not suitable for watering a large area, but it can be used to water the land you've allocated!"

He waved for Wang Sheng to come over and continue shaking the tree. "Your brother will take over when you get tired. If you need to water the land, you can either run pipes to the land or dismantle the things and reinstall them."

"Time is too tight and preparations are insufficient. This is rather crude. Let's use it first and modify it when we come across something suitable." Chu Xin was a little dissatisfied. This was only slightly better than manpower.

Wang Qiang, who was usually quiet, suddenly looked up at Chu Xin and asked, "Can we use a bicycle to carry it? It would be more labor-saving to pedal it."

Chu Xin hadn't expected Wang Qiang to be so smart, and to be able to draw inferences from one instance to another. Nodding in agreement, she said, "Yes, you're very clever. And by pedaling, you can convert it into electricity. Think carefully about how you can make it work!"

Wang Youzhi completely ignored the team members who wanted to come up and talk. He knew you were also very excited, but don’t get excited yet.

I am excited myself!

"Chu...Chu Zhiqing, is the work you do efficient? Is it easy to break down?"

"The rope may break more easily if rubbed for a long time, as for the others..." Chu Xin looked at the working water diversion machine and did not finish the rest of his words.

Wang Youzhi was a little anxious. "What else? What's the problem?"

Chu Xin was speechless. "It only has two wheels, how bad can it be?"

Wang Youzhi was relieved now. Looking at Chu Xin, he felt proud of her. Oh, his niece was really smart! Studying was the best way to go!

Seeing that more and more people were coming, Chu Xin said to Wang Youzhi, "You go ahead and do your work. I'm going to go back first."

"Can I distribute this thing to other team members?" Wang Youzhi asked a little embarrassedly, rubbing two fingers on both hands.

Chu Xin thought Wang Youzhi was quite cute like this. "Of course I'll follow the arrangements of our team leader. Anything used in collective labor belongs to the team, right?"

Wang Youzhi was so happy that he smiled and waved his hand to let Chu Xin go back.

He turned around and started talking about the arrangements with the team members who couldn't wait to gather around him.

Huo Cheng and others who followed after hearing the news came forward one after another after Chu Xin approached.

"Chu Zhiqing, this little waterwheel you made is really useful. You are so smart!" Zhang Mei praised Chu Xin without thinking.

Chu Xin didn't take it seriously. "You just didn't think of it. It's not a complicated principle. You can understand it if you observe and think about it more in life."

Chu Xin's words comforted the others. They couldn't help but think that they were also intellectuals, and there was no reason why Chu Zhiqing could do it but they couldn't.

They just didn't see the opportunity.

"Ahem!" A voice with an official tone interrupted everyone.

Chu Xin turned around and looked at the people coming. It was the group of old educated youth.

Chu Xin felt that she was not familiar with them and they probably were not looking for her, so she had no intention of saying anything to them.

Unexpectedly, the visitor spoke directly to her in a fatherly tone, "This must be the new educated youth Chu, hello. I'm the person in charge of our educated youth site, Luo Yu. Everyone else has already integrated into our big family, but Chu Zhiqing hasn't introduced herself yet! Let's all get to know each other."

Chu, the educated youth, may not have understood the situation when he first arrived, and he didn't tell the educated youth group about his heroic deeds first, causing the educated youth group to lose a glorious reputation. The water diversion machine you built this afternoon should have been used by the entire educated youth group. As part of the educated youth group, you should give priority to using it, so that our big family can get along harmoniously. You..."

Fuck! Chu Xin cursed in her heart, which was rare!

This person must be mentally ill. No, it seems that there are quite a few mentally ill people among the old educated youth!

Chu Xin's eyes were cold. "You're so good at talking official rhetoric that you're unfit to be a responsible person. Although I'm an educated youth, I don't live in an educated youth camp. My work is assigned directly by the team leader, so I won't bother you! You can treat me as an individual!"

"Also, I advise you not to talk like that in the future. You'll easily get beaten!"

Luo Yu's face flushed the color of liver. Since he came here from the countryside, he had never been humiliated like this. In the past, everyone would agree with those high-sounding sermons, but now, isn't it all about collective honor?

Zhang Meifeng, who was standing aside, saw Luo Yu being scolded and advised like a good sister: "Luo Yu, don't be angry. Chu Zhiqing doesn't understand you, so he misunderstood you."

Then he said to Chu Xin: "Chu Zhiqing may have misunderstood Luo Yu's original intention. We all came here from the countryside. We are a big collective, a big family. Only by supervising each other can we make progress together!"

Chu Xin looked at the elder sister with a speechless expression. Has she been fooled by PUA?

"That's right. Since you are an educated youth, you are one of us. Your honor and invention should belong to all of us! That water diversion machine should be given priority to the educated youth! What you are doing now is wrong. People who leave the organization will be despised!" Chen Yue, who had long disliked Chu Xin, said sarcastically.

Vixen, I've always disliked you, yet you still dare to seduce Chen Xin! He can only be mine!

The sinister look made Chu Xin frown uncomfortably.

"Chen Yue, don't be so rude. We should be friendly to new comrades." Chen Xin stepped forward to separate Chen Yue, and thought he looked handsome, letting down his bangs. He extended his hand to Chu Xin, "Hello, Chu Zhiqing, I'm Chen Xin. Nice to meet you!"

His eyes scanned Chu Xin up and down dishonestly.

Chu Xin recognized that this was the disgusting man who appeared at the brigade headquarters at noon!

He took a step back in disgust. "I'm a selfish person. Group life doesn't suit me! I advise you not to mess with me!"

I was too lazy to say anything more and just walked away.

Luo Yu pointed at Chu Xin with trembling hands, "She...she...is so arrogant. How can she be so rampant? She is totally disorganized and undisciplined!"

Huo Cheng and the others wanted to laugh. Only those old educated youths were stupid enough to be fooled by your rhetoric!

Zhang Mei pinched her palms and tried to suppress her laughter. "Hmm! We are all educated youth. I advise you all not to provoke Chu Xin. You will suffer the consequences at your own risk! If you have any questions, you can ask Shi Zhiqing."

After saying that, he left. They had to work, and he didn't have to go to work today. Wouldn't it be better to go back and lie down instead of staying here?

Several other people also said they wanted to go back, and at this moment the new and old educated youth were clearly distinguished.

Liu Zhenzhen was walking at the end. Seeing Chen Xin still staring at Chu Xin, she smiled sarcastically. Chen Xin could kill himself without her doing anything!
