Old Man Zhu also sighed: "Oh... you really like to toss and toss even though you have a good life! Are you encountering a problem now? What do you think we should do about this?"

He threw the question back to Ye Yuran.

In his opinion, the most trouble-making person in this family is the old woman. She likes to mess around, so she will solve it herself.

Zhu Qi made the irrigation plan. Without her permission, what would Zhu Qi do?

"Dad, Mom, that's not a hassle, she just saw that everyone was working so hard to water the water, and wanted to help everyone lighten the burden." Zhu San spoke for Ye Yuran.

In his opinion, his mother had good intentions when she came up with the idea.

"You know how to speak for your mother!" Old Man Zhu glared at him.

He didn't know that in this family, only Zhu Da and Zhu Er were close to him, and the rest of them all wore the same pants as the old lady.

"I'm not speaking for my mother, I'm telling the truth." Zhu San said, "Li Zheng, the clan leader also saw that this thing was easy to use, so he wanted Lao Qi to get a better one. If it wasn't easy to use, they would also

I won’t mention it anymore.”

"It's just that it's easy to use, so they will want something better. Lao Qi shouldn't have done this in the first place." Old Man Zhu said, "Why don't you mother talk about it now? The front one is easy to do, but the back one is not.

It’s the first time I’ve done the front part, and if it doesn’t work, people won’t say anything. If the latter part doesn’t work, people will have something to say. I can do everything in the front part, but why can’t I do the back part? It must be a lack of intention.

…”

"So, I told Li Zheng and the clan leader in advance, saying that this kind of thing is not as easy as imagined. And they also know that Lao Qi and I will go to the state to study soon. Does Lao Qi have time?

It’s still the same thing.”

"Then don't do it. You guys are about to leave. This is the best excuse to avoid getting scolded if you don't do it well later. If you don't do it now, people will be a little disappointed at most. They will be gone after just saying a few words. They won't be scolded.

scold."

…

Zhu San never expected that his father would not agree to it if his mother just said it was "difficult".

There are difficulties, but what things are not difficult?

If they don’t do it because it’s difficult, will they still have their paddy fields? Will they still have a food business? Will Lao Qi be admitted as a scholar?

Aren't all the risks involved?

He had no choice but to continue looking at Ye Yuran and ask her opinion.

Ye Yuran didn't speak when the people at the table were discussing.

Anyway, her idea is very simple. The irrigation canals in Zhujiacun must be built, but what problems will be encountered during the construction must be explained clearly in advance.

This will prevent you from regretting it later if you really encounter problems.

When the bow is drawn, there is no turning back.

"I'm not saying I won't do it, I just want everyone to think clearly that this matter is not as easy as everyone thinks, and there will be many problems in it. We need to be mentally prepared before we do it."

As soon as Ye Yuran said these words, Zhu San breathed a sigh of relief.

"Since mother said so, we don't need to think about anything else, just get it done." Zhu San said, "As for what problems we will encounter after we get it done, we should all think about it and make preparations in advance."

Then, the family began to discuss again.

You say something, I say something, and I make suggestions.

Old Man Zhu watched them quickly drop their objections and start discussing the problem in one direction, feeling extremely aggrieved.

——So, he is the only one who disagrees from beginning to end?

——What are you doing? If you had agreed earlier, why would you let him be the bad guy?

When he returned to the yard, he complained to Ye Yuran: "I took all the bad guys for granted, but you are the good guy!"

Ye Yuran wanted to laugh when she heard his resentful words: "Do you still remember? That wasn't at the dinner table, where everyone discussed issues."

"Ha! Then why did you mislead me?"

"I didn't mislead you. It's just that as soon as Lao San said that this thing was feasible, everyone was just happy and thought about what benefits they would get after this thing was done. I was afraid that they would be too happy and go outside to brag.

Blowing, I agreed to things that I shouldn't have agreed to. A timely pouring of cold water will help everyone think calmly about the problem."

Old Man Zhu: "..."

——This old woman's mouth is getting sharper and sharper, and she can't speak at all.

With Ye Yuran's permission, Zhu San ran to "negotiate" with the clan leader, Li Zheng, or to be more precise, he went to tell the other party the "difficulties" of the matter.

"I discussed it with Lao Qi yesterday. This canal must be repaired. This is a major event that benefits the village and the people. It is a great honor for him to contribute his own strength. It's just..." Zhu San paused.

After a while, "Clan leader, Li Zheng, this time is different from before."

"Before, our family only had one acre of paddy field, and most of it was connected together. It was more convenient to operate, and it was only for temporary use, so there was not so much fuss."

"So no matter how you do it, as long as it saves time and effort and is easy to use, there will be no problem."

"But this time is different. This time it is for long-term use, so the requirements are higher and the difficulty will become greater."

…

Listening to his well-organized reasons, Li Zheng and the clan leader also calmed down and began to consider the difficulties of this matter.

Obviously, Zhujiacun water canal planning is not an easy task, nor can it be figured out in three to five days.

"Then..." The patriarch said with some regret, "Is this the end of the matter?"

"No, what Lao Qi means is that the canal needs to be repaired, but we must make it clear first that this matter cannot be done in one step. It must be done slowly and step by step." Zhu San said, "In other words, we can only repair it first.

One part, and then the other parts will be repaired based on the specific situation at that time. No one is sure how long it will take to complete the whole thing. It could be three to five years."

"So that's what it means, then we can rest assured," the clan leader breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We don't want Zhu Qi to fix it all at once. This kind of thing cannot be done in a hurry. It's okay to take it slow.

As long as you take action, have a plan, and be able to do it well."

"Don't say three to five years, just seven, eight, ten, no problem." Li Zheng also said, "We can't expect or use it in this life, but we still have sons and grandsons, they can always use them.

Come on? This is a big deal for our descendants."

Zhu San nodded: "That's what I mean. I also need to trouble the clan leader. Li Zheng made it clear to everyone that this thing is not done in one step. Everyone needs to be mentally prepared in advance. In fact, everyone can also help us figure out how to do it better.

Okay, you can bring it up. We all deal with our own land every day, so maybe the method you come up with is more effective than Lao Qi’s."

As he spoke, he also praised the villagers.

He said that when young people like them were farming, they would first learn from the old masters in the village, and only after they had learned to a certain level would they dare to actually farm on their own.

Although Zhu Qi is a scholar, he understands irrigation and planning, but he does not farm directly. Instead, he cannot think clearly about many details and needs everyone's help to "point out".
