"Calm down, calm down. If there's anything you want, I'll tell them!"

Mr. Xu came to Niu Dali and said with a smile, "what's the matter? Look at my brother's face. Don't get angry. Let's talk slowly."

"Brother Xu, it's not like we're picking bones in our eggs. You go to see what those people are doing, just the bucket. It won't be long before it breaks down. "

"And how much water can that bucket hold?"

"If the waterwheel is made in the way they do, it's just a good thing. It's not good to see and use!"

"It's smashing my sign!"

It's not surprising that Niu Dali is angry. As a craftsman, what he values most is whether the things he makes can be used and easy to use.

Even though he didn't make some of the parts himself, he supervised them. In the end, when something is made, it is impossible for him to take the money and leave.

Moreover, if the waterwheel is a coward, who else in Anshun county will recognize the skill of niudali?

This is not only smashing the signboard, but also smashing his powerful job.

He can bear not to hit people, it is to see the face of master Xu.

After all, Mr. Xu is the elder brother he recognized. He was invited by Mr. Xu. When things got out of hand, it was Mr. Xu who was in the final dilemma.

Because Niu Dali can walk away regardless.

"Brother, I've wronged you!"

Master Xu patted Niu Dali on the shoulder. He knew that Niu Dali was restraining himself because of his reasons.

"I'll take care of this!"

Because of the remaining evils of the previous dynasty, master Xu was also filled with anger. Now, it's such a bad thing to come here, and the anger in my heart goes up slowly.

"Guan Laojiu, that's you!"

When Mr. Xu came far away, he had already seen who was arguing with Niu Dali.

Guan Laojiu is a famous carpenter in Lingshui village. He and Guan Laoqi were born to the same parents. In Lingshui village, where Guan's surname is the main, Guan Laojiu is also very famous as the father's brother.

However, it's not easy for him to play this card here.

"Pack up your things and get out of here!"

Master Xu controlled his temper and didn't start.

This is to give Guan Laoqi face, but also to Guan Laoqi and Guan Laojiu their premature death father face.

Guan Laojiu was directly named by Xu Laozi, but he was also stunned.

Because his relationship with master Xu is not bad.

Especially when he was a child, he followed Mr. Xu around for a long time. It's just that when I grew up and got married, the relationship gradually faded.

But in Guan Laoqi's heart, he and Xu Laozi are old friends. Niu Dali, an outsider, can't match him.

"Brother Xu, no, you listen to me!"

Guan Lao Jiu stood up and said, "I'm not -"

"Lao Jiu, I know what your temperament is!"

Xu raised his hand to interrupt Guan's explanation, "when I was a child, you used to follow me. If you pretend to be big, it's not too much for me to grow up with you. "

"Don't explain this today, and I won't listen."

"If you want to recognize me, don't say anything, just pack up your things and go!"

If it were not for the original friendship, Mr. Xu really didn't want to save face for Guan Laojiu.

Mr. Xu is very clear about what he is fighting. It's just that he thinks he can have a good time building a waterwheel.

Trying to find an excuse to squeeze the cattle out, he came to do the business. But Mr. Xu understood that this son of a bitch is a man with high eyes and low hands. This waterwheel is related to the livelihood of a village. Can it be used for children's play?

If the waterwheel is so easy to build, there will not be only a few famous waterwheel builders in Anshun county.

Although some people in this world are not worthy of the name.

But craftsmen eat craft food.

There are no illustrious scholars under the high reputation, and there will be no big deviation among craftsmen.

"OK, OK, I'll go!"

In the face of the angry but unfulfilled Xu Laozi, Guan Laojiu is very aware of the current situation and collects his things and leaves.

After dealing with Guan Laojiu, the rest of the people don't need to be beaten by Xu. They all know who to listen to when they work here.

"What's up? How long will it take to repair it? "

After he shocked the audience, Xu took the bull to the side to talk.

"As long as we all seize the time to get the work done, we can set up the first waterwheel in five days at most."

"That's good, that's good!"

Master Xu was relieved to hear this.

"Brother Xu, don't be happy too soon!"Niu Dali didn't wait for master Xu to be happy for a while, so he poured cold water on him.

"If there is a severe drought like that 20 years ago, the surface of Taohua river will fall all the time. At that time, the waterwheel can't get water, and it's useless! "

"Er..."

Mr. Xu said bitterly, "can't you look forward to it?"

Twenty years ago, there was a severe drought, and the fields in Xiangyi Prefecture almost had no harvest. If not for the government's timely relief, I don't know how many people would have died that year.

But even so, I still heard that there was an old man who died of hunger strike, just to leave more rations for the rest of the family.

That year, Mr. Xu went into the mountains to hunt. With game, wild vegetables and relief food from the imperial court, his family was able to carry them down.

"Brother, to tell you the truth, I also want it to rain!"

"But these two days I've been working on the waterwheel by the river. According to my observation, this severe drought is inevitable."

"Sure enough, ginger is old and spicy."

"My father's eyes are so poisonous!"

"What else? Keep the grain quietly

Mr. Xu looked up at the blue sky above his head, not to mention how upset he was.

"Do your best and listen to the destiny!"

When Xu came back from the river, he saw his daughter-in-law playing with Fubao in the yard. His depression disappeared in a moment. He put on a smiling face and came near with a smile.

"Daddy's little Fubao, do you miss daddy?"

"Ah

Fubao looked at her father who said hello to her. Her eyes narrowed slightly. Why does she always feel that her father's smile is so fake?

"Back?"

"How is the waterwheel being repaired?"

Mrs. Xu looked at Mr. Xu with a slightly serious expression. From the day master Xu said there would be a severe drought, she was also paying attention to the weather.

Some things, you don't pay attention to it, you don't feel anything.

But once you look at it, you'll find that there's something wrong with everything.

Today's old lady Xu also firmly believes that there will be a severe drought on this day.

"In five days at most, the first waterwheel will be able to stand up."

"It's just that, listen to Dali, the old man thinks that this year's drought can be compared with that 20 years ago."
