After the marriage, the strong beauty became rich and busy raising children

Chapter 140 Drilling a Well

When Guan Ruijie saw Guan Lei, he acted as if he hadn't seen her. He didn't even say hello and said to Zhang Caihe, "Mom, give me one yuan. I want to buy something."

Zhang Caihe frowned and said, "Didn't I just give you one yuan yesterday? Why do you want it again? What do you want to buy?"

Guan Ruijie rolled his eyes and said, "I used yesterday's money to buy a notebook and an eraser. Today I want to buy a pen."

Guan Lei knows very well whether Xiaojie likes to study and whether he is a good student.

If you buy notebooks and pens, most likely you are buying snacks.

She couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you just buy a fountain pen when school started? It's only been a few months and it's broken?"

"That pen doesn't work well. The tip is forked. I always scratch the notebook every time I write."

Zhang Caihe said happily: "It's a good thing to know how to buy a fountain pen. It means my Xiaojie likes studying. Wait a minute, mom will get the money for you."

Guan Lei pulled Zhang Caihe's sleeve and said, "Mom, wait a minute."

Then she said to Guan Ruijie, "Xiaojie, I remember that my elder sister told you before that if you want any reward, you should discuss it with mom in advance. For example, if you get 90 points in the exam, I will give you a reward. Have you discussed it?"

Zhang Caihe was unhappy.

"Hey, Leilei, this is something for study, not a toy. There's no need to be so strict. Besides, does Guan Youshuang have to be right when she says that?"

Guan Ruijie also glared at Guan Lei provocatively and said, "That's right, our teacher never said that, so does that mean she is right? Besides, my mother has agreed to give the money, why are you stopping her?"

"I'm your sister, why can't I stop you?"

"A daughter who is married off is like water spilled. You don't give me any money, so you'd better take care of yourself."

Guan Lei was furious.

Zhang Caihe pulled Guan Ruijie and scolded him, "How can you talk to your second sister like that?"

"I didn't say anything wrong. My eldest sister and brother-in-law bought me water guns and snacks. What did she buy me?"

Comparing them with those two people!

Guan Lei was furious.

"How can you talk like that, you heartless person? Didn't Zhao Yang give you a big red envelope on the day of the wedding?"

"My mom cheated me out of my big red envelope. What does it have to do with me?"

"Stop arguing, both of you. It's just one dollar, right?"

Guan Lei said angrily: "This is not a matter of money. I'm just afraid that you will spoil him."

"No, Xiaojie is still young, he will be fine when he grows up."

Then Zhang Caihe went back to the house to get a dollar, handed it to Guan Ruijie, and said, "Here, you have to study hard after buying a new pen."

Guan Ruijie took the money and ran away.

Guan Lei said nothing more.

She knew that nothing she said would help.

Although her mother favors her, she favors her younger brother even more.

This is determined by her inherent preference for boys over girls.

When the mother and daughter walked out and passed by Liu Qinqin's house, they happened to see Wang Xiang crying while holding Dandan. Liu Qinqin pointed at Wang Xiang arrogantly and cursed her.

Guan Lei felt her scalp tingling and couldn't help but quicken her pace.

Zhang Caihe sighed and said, "Wang Xiang is so unlucky to marry into the Liu family. It's ok for her parents-in-law to scold her, but her sister-in-law also scolds her non-stop."

Guan Lei didn't mention the burn on her testicles. She just nodded and said, "I also think Qinqin really went too far."

"You are lucky that you didn't meet this kind of sister-in-law."

Guan Lei's heart skipped a beat. Isn't that crazy Zhao Lan almost the same?

If I wasn't so capable, she would have already ridden on her head!

Zhang Caihe accompanied Guan Lei all the way to the market. It was almost noon at this time. Guan Lei happened to catch a ride from Zhaogou, so she took it back.

Gu family.

Early in the morning, the well diggers from Henan arrived.

At this time, some villagers gathered outside the gate, discussing the master's skills.

Some curious children screamed and peeked in.

The old people sat under the shade of the trees, puffing on their pipes.

The driller was wearing a yellowed white sweatshirt, and the cuffs of the vest were a little worn due to long-term friction.

His face was tanned by the sun and his hands were rough and strong.

His toolbox was placed aside, containing hammers, chisels, wire ropes, bearings and other professional tools.

The master has superb skills and the well looks to be very deep.

Another slightly younger master dug out the soil a shovelful at a time with a shovel, and then pulled the soil out of the well with a thin bamboo basket.

An elderly man with a beard put out his cigarette, walked up to him and said, "Master, your skills are really good. How deep can you dig this well?"

The master stopped what he was doing, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and replied with a smile: "It depends on our water veins. But don't worry, based on my decades of experience, I feel that the water veins here are pretty good."

A child of about five or six years old came over curiously, eyes wide open, and asked, "Grandpa, how did you know there is water here?"

The master squatted down and said in a friendly manner: "Little guy, this is experience and intuition. The color of the soil, the smell of the earth, and the feeling of digging wells for many years can tell whether there is water underneath."

"Master, how much does it cost to dig a well? Why don't you come over to our place later to have a look?" said a woman.

"30 yuan."

"It's so expensive, forget it."

The bearded man said, "This master's price is quite cheap. I heard that there are also masters digging wells in Wangping Village who charge 45, not a cent less."

The process of digging a well is very difficult.

It was still windy in the morning, but the sun came out around noon.

The red sun was scorching the earth, and sweat was oozing from the master's forehead and back, but his movements were still steady and powerful, and every blow of the hammer was accurate.

The wellbore became deeper and deeper. The master operated precisely below, while the two young masters above moved soil and handed tools.

After several hours, the cool spring water was finally brought out of the ground by the master, and everyone cheered.

The master wiped his sweat, sat on a wooden stick beside him, took out his pipe, and prepared to roll a cigarette.

Wang Huiying handed over the water cup, thermos bucket and tea box at the right time.

Several villagers came over and started chatting with the master.

At this moment, Guan Youshuang and Gu Errong came back.

In addition to several straw hats, they carried a lot of things in large and small bags.

Wang Huiying waved her hands and said excitedly: "Errong, Youshuang, look, it's out of the water."

"So fast." Gu Errong walked over and took out a box of Hongtashan cigarettes from his bag, saying, "Master, you've worked hard. Have a smoke."

The old master waved his hand and said, "I still think our old dry tobacco is better."

Guan Youshuang found it very curious. She walked over and looked at the well again and again.

The master smiled and said, "I will make the windlass after I finish smoking this cigarette. After it is done, it can be used to pump water."

Making the windlass on site?
