"When I went to Cloth Village today, I happened to see a shop being put up for sale. Then we won't have to run back and forth. We can just set up a small workshop inside the shop."
The matter of opening a shop was mentioned last time, so the old man was not surprised.
"Do we have enough money?"
We have to build a house and sell a shop. Is it not enough?
"When this batch is sold out, it will definitely be enough."
Now the old lady has almost 500 taels in her hand, which is actually quite a lot.
It's just that what Su Qiao wants to build is a farm with houses, vegetable fields, orchards and gardens.
"Then it's up to you!"
The old man felt relieved when she was doing things, so he just let her go.
Early the next morning, the old lady took her second uncle and carried the cloth to the orchard in the mountains.
Su Qiao just went to Shahe Village's grandma's house with her mother.
At noon, they returned to Willow Tree Village again, this time with their second uncle and Fourth Male Cousin.
They drove two ox-carts, the backs of which were filled with various wooden parts.
After going home for a meal, they moved the parts to the river.
The second uncle had already dug a canal, which extended from the river bank to their family's paddy field.
As soon as he arrived at the place, Su Qiao rolled up his sleeves and started assembling it with his second uncle and Fourth Male Cousin.
"If it really works, the folks won't have to work so hard."
The old man held a cigarette bag and stood on the grass by the river and watched carefully.
Except for Su Yichen and Su Yihe who go to private school, everyone else from the Su family is here.
Su Qiao directed the second uncle and his second uncle to place the waterwheel in the river.
"Don't worry, Lord! It will definitely work."
Wind-powered water wheel consists of two parts: a windmill and a waterwheel. The windmill transfers wind energy to the waterwheel.
The main component of the windmill is the wind wheel. The wind wheel is composed of eight sails. The sails are driven by the oncoming wind. The sails carry the water wheel below, which lifts the water from the river and flows into the canal.
[Host, your father is too kind. He is not a village official, nor is he an upright person, but he cares so much about the people in the village and always thinks about them.]
With such a good thing like Wind-powered water wheel, if it were anyone else, the first thing they would think of is making money.
If you want to think further, you must want to gain some achievements.
[Otherwise, how could the people in the village respect him so much? Do you think it's really because he has been studying for several years and there are still a few scholars in our family?]
When a man marries a man, what he cares most about is the fields and their harvest.
When the old man was young, after finishing his work at home, he often took his family with him to help the lonely elderly people in the village farm.
That prestige and respect are accumulated bit by bit.
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for the original mother Zhou Lihua in this family, and if the original two excellent people had ruined their reputation outside, the people in the village would probably have more respect for the old man.
Her father and her brother are a bit lazy, but they are scholars, and scholars always have some privileges.
In addition, her father pretended to be like that outside, so no one really said there was anything wrong with him.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
"Yes, old man, what are these big wheels used for?"
The Su family's posture was quite large, and some villagers who were working on the fields gathered around.
The old man smiled modestly and said, "Haha, my Danie said that as long as there is wind, the wheel can spin, and then the water can flow up the ditch. I heard what she said makes sense, so I thought, it doesn't hurt to try. If it works, we will fill the village with water, and we won't have to carry it up bucket by bucket."
The villagers who gathered around widened their eyes in surprise.
