Chapter 203 Aquatic
Seeing that Village Chief Zhu was so considerate, Su He also responded politely.
"Village Chief Zhu, I have pen, ink, paper and inkstone here. I'll prepare them for you. We can start writing right away if there's no problem."
What else could Village Chief Zhu say? Of course he agreed.
Everyone got off the carriage, and each family looked at the land at the foot of the mountain together.
"Village chief, do we use water from the well or from the river?"
"We have plenty of water in the south. Hehehe, there are two public wells in the village, both in the middle of the village. Some people in the village find it troublesome to queue up, so they save money to dig a well at home for daily use."
"If we're farming, there's a mother river next to Wuyu Village, so the whole village can go out and carry water. It would take about half a month if we all work together."
Su He secretly thanked himself for leaving a mule for each family. They still had eight cows to use, so they didn't have to worry about farming.
"We need to drill at least three or four wells. I wonder what the market is like here?"
"We all dig shallow wells here, mostly 10 meters and 15 meters, the former costs 20 taels, the latter 25 taels."
Su He nodded and said that her height must be at least 15 meters.
This place is close to the river, so there is no shortage of water.
While they were chatting, the village chief's grandson came with five people.
Every family went to look at the land according to the layout of the allocation map. In order to save time, everyone drove their horse-drawn carriages to look at the land.
Su He didn't go. She gave the job to Mu Tou, and she also watched Wang Qingqing's part.
Half an hour later everyone came back in a hurry.
Village chief Zhu picked up the pen and started writing without wasting a second. After a quarter of an hour, he had written more than a dozen notes.
Su He took over and led the group back. She went with Liu Bai, Wang Zhi and Wang Liang, as well as Wang Facai and Wang Fengshou from Wang Laowu's family, Wang Shanfeng, Erli, Goudan's father from Wang Laoliu's family, as well as Li Si and Lu's father. They drove away six carriages, leaving the remaining two for Wang Fugui and others to use first.
Su He hurried back to get the land deed, and Wang Fugui drove a car to send Slug home. Grandpa was worried about his eldest son going alone, so he asked Wang Quangui and Wang Jingui to go with him.
After seeing off the two groups of people, grandpa stayed behind in the village to continue to contact the village chief. They also had to find a few families to rent a house for a month and prepare dinner. After dinner, they had to find someone to start building a house tomorrow.
Su He drove the mule desperately towards the county town. She didn't know that a family reunion meeting was about to take place in Wuyu Village.
This time, Wang Fugui and Slug sat in the front, while Wang Jingui and Wang Quangui sat in the back.
The road to Wuyu Village is easy to recognize, and Wang Fugui arrived there in 20 minutes by car.
There was a strong fishy smell before entering the village, and once inside, the smell became even stronger.
The houses here are relatively short, and the roads are full of potholes and puddles, which is very different from the clean and wide roads in Qingshan Village. Wang Fugui looked at the men, women, and children coming out of the house, and lowered his head to ask the slug in his arms.
"Kid, where do you live? Point it out and I'll take you back."
Slug stayed in Wang Fugui's arms and refused to come out, "Dad, let's go back together."
Wang Fugui's face darkened suddenly. "If you don't tell me, I'll let you go. I'm going back to Qingshan Village."
"Shuisheng, why are you here? Your mother is so worried, go home quickly!"
A woman in green clothes and a headscarf came out from the villagers nearby. She was holding a baby about two years old in her left hand and a three or four-year-old baby with a runny nose in her right hand.
The woman's urging words made Slug sit up suddenly, "Dad, it's just ahead, you hurry up."
The woman in green stared at Wang Fugui in surprise, "Wang Qian, you're back so soon?"
As soon as the lady in green started speaking, the people around her also started speaking.
"Wang Qian, didn't you go to the county town to sell fish? Why are you back so soon?"
"No, that's not what you were wearing when you left. Did your wife make new clothes for you?"
"Why did you rent a carriage to come back? Be careful what your mother Qiao says about you!"
As the onlookers were talking, they felt something was wrong. Why did Wang Qian act strangely, as if he didn't know them?
Wang Fugui was also a little confused, and Wang Jingui and the other person in the carriage also came out.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Why did the two people who came down look somewhat like Wang Qian? They had never heard of any relatives in their family who looked so similar.
"You, who are you?"
"Aunt Qiu, you are stupid, he is my father!"
Slug stood on the car with his hands on his hips, shouting at the woman in green, Aunt Qiu.
Wang Fugui was so angry that he laughed. This kid was so arrogant now that he was in his territory.
"We are from Qingshan Village. We saw him crying on the official road. The child said he was from Wuyu Village, so we sent him here. Please send him home. We will also go back."
Wang Fugui felt relieved when he saw that everyone knew this slug. He asked his two younger brothers to get on the carriage and go home.
Seeing his father leaving, Slug suddenly became anxious.
"Dad! Where are you going? I haven't given Mom the money from selling fish yet. Be careful that you won't have anything to eat at night."
"Hahahahaha."
Slug's words made everyone in the fishing village laugh. Wang Jingui was a little puzzled as to why these people thought the eldest brother was that Wang Qian.
"aquatic!"
A woman in blue rushed in with a 6-year-old girl. When she saw Shuisheng, she hugged him in her arms.
"You little brat, are you trying to drive me crazy? Did you chase your dad to sell fish? I looked everywhere but couldn't find him."
The woman in blue was Wang Qian's wife, Qiao Niang. She heard from a village boy that Shuisheng had returned. She was originally processing the fish caught today, but upon hearing the news, she came here with her little daughter.
"Mother, I found my father. He even bought a carriage. He wasted money!"
When Shuisheng saw his mother's unfriendly look, he quickly looked for a scapegoat, and his father was the most suitable one.
As expected, Qiao Niang's attention was diverted, and she looked fiercely in the direction of Shuisheng's finger.
"Wang Qian, who are you?"
After all, he was the person she slept with day and night, so Qiao Niang immediately recognized that this was not her man.
"My name is Wang Fugui. We just settled in Qingshan Village. I saw Shuisheng sitting on the ground crying on the way, so I brought him here."
When she heard that it was her savior, Qiao Niang suppressed her doubts and quickly thanked him.
"So you are my benefactor. Thank you so much. Shuisheng is not sensible. Brothers, please don't bother with him. Our home is not far away. Come to our house to drink some water and take a rest."
Wang Fugui instinctively wanted to refuse Qiao Niang's enthusiastic invitation, but Wang Jingui came up and agreed directly.
"Thank you very much, sister-in-law. We will follow you. Please lead the way."
Mother Qiao smiled cheerfully and walked back with her little daughter in hand. "Okay, follow me."
Wang Fugui stared at Wang Jingui in surprise, "Jingui, let's go back quickly."
"Brother, didn't uncle say that some of our relatives got separated? They also have the surname Wang. These people say that you look like Wang Qian, is that true?"
Wang Jingui’s words shocked both the Wang Fugui brothers. Could it be such a coincidence?
When Shuisheng saw that this man was not his biological father, he felt a little depressed. Just as he was about to climb back into the carriage, his biological mother grabbed his ear.
"Ahhh, Mom, it hurts."
"Behave yourself! I'll deal with you after your benefactor leaves!"
Apparently, Qiao's mother had not forgotten what her unfortunate son had done, and Shuisheng was dragged by the ear all the way back home.
It only takes ten minutes to walk to Shuisheng’s home.
The houses in the fishing village all have thatched roofs and mud walls. Shuisheng's family is no exception. The little girl ran to open the door, and Qiao Niang quickly turned back and greeted, "Benefactor, we are here. I'll let Yaer lead you into the house, and I'll go to the kitchen to get some water."
Wang Fugui responded, and the three of them followed him in. The structure of the house was clear at a glance. After entering the gate, there was a yard, and then three large rooms lined up in a row. On the left was the toilet and on the right was the kitchen.
"Uncles, please come in and sit down."
The girl who ran to open the door was Yaer. She quickly opened the middle door and invited Wang Fugui and the other two in.
At this time, a cough was heard from the room on the left. "Is Shuisheng back?"
Yaer replied loudly, "Grandpa, my brother is back."
Wang Jingui signaled to his two brothers beside him, and Wang Fugui and the other two nodded, "Ya'er, is the room on the left your grandfather? According to etiquette, we should also go and visit the old man."
Yaer had no idea about this etiquette, but after hearing what her three uncles said, she agreed without thinking much.
"Then I'll take you to see Grandpa."
Yaer trotted to the house on the left, knocked on the door gently, went in first, said a few words to the people inside, and then ran out in a hurry.
"Three uncles, my grandfather invites you in."
Wang Fugui and the other two suppressed their excitement and walked in.
