Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich

Chapter 170 Finding Water

An Nian turned to look at An Yue, who was also looking at him, and the brother and sister laughed at the same time.

They gently opened the door and ran into their room in ecstasy.

An Yue looked at the spacious and bright room. A ray of setting sun shone into the room through the window. The feeling was very strange. She felt warmed and redeemed.

She threw her body onto the big bed with a bang and shouted, "It's so wonderful! Wow!"

The big bed was very soft. She lay on the bed with her limbs sprawled out, the corners of her mouth unconsciously raised. Everything was so beautiful.

After the carnival of new life, what follows is sorrow.

An Nian walked slowly from his room to An Yue, and said in a low mood: "Sister, Nian Nian misses daddy and mommy a little."

When An Yue heard what An Nian said, she felt as if her heart was overturned with mixed feelings.

An Yue held An Nian's chubby face in her hands and coaxed her, "When Nian Nian comes back from town tomorrow, let's go see them!"

An Nian raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes and nodded.

An Yue pretended to be relaxed and said, "Okay! Nian Nian is a little man! From now on, we will hold our own umbrellas and fly freely."

An Nian said seriously, "Sister, I promise! When I grow up, I will hold the umbrella for you and won't let you suffer anymore."

An Yue nodded and said affirmatively: "Sister believes in Nian Nian!"

Night fell quietly, and the brother and sister quickly lit the oil lamp.

An Nian handed over the firewood, Anyue cooked, and the brother and sister laughed and played, always having endless things to talk about.

At this moment, they seemed like birds that had broken free from their bonds and gained freedom.

At this moment, they finally became their own masters and finally had their own big room.

At this moment, they can finally stop being so cautious, reading other people's faces, and living in fear.

After dinner was ready, the brother and sister sat on the benches at the octagonal table in the main hall to eat their dinner.

The light from the oil lamp shines on the blue bricks, appearing very soft.

From then on, the night was no longer scary.

After washing up, the brother and sister went back to their rooms to rest.

Outside the window, a bright moon hangs in the sky, and it seems to be trying to illuminate the entire night.

The next day, it was dawn.

The brother and sister got up and prepared to go to the kitchen to make breakfast.

As soon as I entered the kitchen, I saw two steamed buns.

An Yue planned to cook two bowls of rice porridge, boil two eggs, and make a dish of cold shredded radish. This would be a simple breakfast.

After breakfast, An Nian carried his cloth bag and went to school.

After An Yue washed the dishes, she found that there was only half a tank of water left in the water tank. She started thinking about hiring someone to dig a well.

However, the villagers have been preparing to plant rice in their own fields these days and have no free time at all.

An Yue thought about looking around her home first to see if there was a suitable location to dig a well.

The sweet potatoes that my grandmother helped plant in the field have sprouted and have grown a lot. Now that the house has been built, everything is starting to get on track.

She planned to look for it in the wasteland outside the yard first. First, to find a place to dig a well. Second, she would be planting sweet potatoes soon, so she could turn over the soil.

An Yue glanced around the wasteland outside the yard. The wasteland that was once covered with grass and trees had been cut down by the villagers who came to help open up the land. Now, only a bare flat land was left.

She carefully observed the topography of the land, and her eyes finally stopped at the bottom of the slope on the east side of the yard.

Among all the young grasses in the whole wasteland, the young grass there is the most lush.

An Yue slowly approached that place with a hoe.

The closer I got, the stronger the inexplicable feeling of stepping on shit became.

She quickly squatted down, pushed aside the tender grass with her hands and saw that the soil was very moist and soft.

She stood up and took a few steps forward. Suddenly, a chill went straight into the soles of her feet through her cloth shoes.

An Yue lifted her feet and saw that her cloth shoes were covered with mud. After just a few steps, it felt like she was stepping into a paddy field.

Her intuition told her that this must be the source of water.

So, An Yue began to try to dig it open.

Because the soil was particularly sticky, every time An Yue swung the hoe, it seemed particularly strenuous.

After digging a few times, An Yue saw that water seemed to be seeping out from the bottom of the embankment.

This made An Yue more certain of her judgment, so she continued digging.

——An hour and a half passed.

At this time, An Yue had already dug a pit as big as a large iron pot.

Suddenly a shout came from the gate of the yard.

"Yueyue..."

An Yue turned around and saw no one.

So she picked up the hoe and walked towards the gate of the yard.

From a distance, I could only see the back of the person who came, and he seemed to be breathing heavily with his hands on his hips.

An Yue looked carefully and found that it was Anqing.

She asked, "Why is Brother Anqing here?"

An Qing was so tired that he was out of breath and said, "Yueyue, go to the village chief's house quickly. There is something urgent."

"Brother Anqing, do you know what's going on? Why is it so urgent?" An Yue frowned and asked quickly, quickening her pace.

An Qing took a deep breath and shook his head, "I don't know. The village chief just told me to go over there quickly."

An Yue quickly opened the gate and said to An Qing, "Brother An Qing, please go into the yard and wait for me. I'll go change into a pair of clean cloth shoes and follow you right away."

An Qing followed her into the yard. After An Yue entered the yard, she threw the hoe casually and hurried to her room.

An Qing stood in the yard, his eyes deeply attracted by the blue brick and tile house in front of him. He couldn't believe that the blue brick and tile house in front of him was built by An Yue.

After a while, An Yue came out of her room and said to An Qing, "Let's go quickly!"

After walking out of the yard gate, An Yue took out the key and started to lock the door.

After locking the door, the brother and sister trotted towards the village chief's house.

An Yue ran in front and An Qing walked behind.

An Yue asked, "Brother An Qing, are the rice seeds in Yue Yue's two mu of land already being grown into seedlings?"

"Yes, before the fire, rice seeds were planted in the fields for seedling cultivation."

"Very good, very good." An Yue felt relieved.

The brother and sister didn't speak again until then.

Arriving near the village chief's house, An Qing suddenly called An Yue and said with some shame: "Yue Yue, I'm so sorry."

An Yue turned her head and looked at An Qing, and asked, "Why did my brother apologize to Yue Yue out of the blue?"

"Yueyue, you are building a house. I... as your brother, I am extremely ashamed that I was unable to come and help you."

An Yue smiled and said, "It's okay. Yueyue knows that my brother is too busy to come."

After saying that, An Yue turned around and continued walking forward.

After a while, they arrived at the gate of the village chief's house.

The door of the village chief's main house was open, and An Yue ran over in two steps.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the village chief sitting on the floor of the main hall with his arms around Qin.
