You Miao had eaten the Lantern Festival meal. Although she still minded these troubles, she felt much more comfortable because she was in her own home. After dinner, she went to the study and wrote back to Zhao Chao, tearing it up, tearing it up and writing it. , I always felt unsatisfactory, and finally had to put it on hold for the time being.

Anyway, Zhao Chao told him to stop replying to the letter and wait until he goes to the battlefield.

At night, when You Miao was sleeping with Li Zhifeng in his arms, he couldn't help but say, "Hey, it's still comfortable in my own home."

Li Zhifeng snorted and said, "Tang Hui said today that the people who retreated from the border in the Central Plains are migrating to the south of the Yangtze River with their families and their families."

You Miao was about to fall asleep, but when she heard this, she felt agitated and said, "What?"

Li Zhifeng heard it in his ear, stared at him like a loyal wolf dog, and said after a while, "Do you want to?"

You Miao hugged his neck, Li Zhifeng reached out to unbutton his underwear, You Miao kissed the corner of his lips and said, "What did you just say, say it again?"

Li Zhifeng didn't speak, he turned over and pressed You Miao under him. You Miao could only hear breathing all night and couldn't care about anything. He hugged Li Zhifeng tightly. , The big red lantern was still lit outside in the middle of the night, illuminating You Miao's sleeping childish face.

Early in the morning a few days later, while You Miao was still sleeping, she heard voices outside, like a woman screaming excitedly, and a child clapping.

You Miao scratched his neck uncomfortably, turned over and continued to sleep, but it was so noisy outside, he sat up irritably and shouted, "Stop screaming!"

The screams got louder and louder, and You Miao went down to the ground in a rage, shouting, "Someone!"

There was no one outside, and even Li Zhifeng didn't know where to go.

You Miao got dressed and went down to the ground, ran out with her hair disheveled, and followed the call. When she was about to train someone, she was stunned when she stood in the backyard.

"There's water—"

"Hahaha-"

"Master!"

"Master is up!"

"Morning Master!"

You Miao stood in the courtyard and stared at the pond in the back garden with astonishment.

"Why is water coming in... No!" You Miao immediately realized something, turned around and ran towards the backyard. The rockery and the pool in the backyard were full of water noises. When he passed by the bamboo sea, he heard a slamming sound from the bamboo tube. Knocked on the rock, turned around in an instant, and shouted with joy.

You Miao: "Ah-"

On the other end of the bamboo tube, the cold water flowed out from the water pipe he made by himself not long ago, poured it into the bamboo tube, turned it over when it was full, drained it, turned it around with a bang, and hit it on the rock.

There is water! That is to say, the waterwheel on the cliff has been repaired! !

You Miao ran to the backyard, got on his horse and ran toward the high ground. The tenants all came out along the way, and the water channel was filled with water.

"I'll go to you!" You Miao rushed over to the laughter of the craftsmen and shouted, "Why didn't you call me!"

Li Zhifeng held an iron tenon in his hand, his bare shoulders were covered in sweat, he was strong and handsome in the sunlight, his robe was loosely draped around his waist, and when he turned back, he smiled at You Miao, You Miao couldn't help but be stunned.

"Try to make it move first!" Li Zhifeng shouted, "I didn't call you when you were still sleeping!"

You Miao passed by, the craftsmen below were cheering, and the water bucket on the waterwheel slowly rose, just as expected, it was pushed up by the river water and raised the cliff hundreds of feet, and when it reversed, the water was poured into the canal. In the middle, You Miao was overjoyed and laughed. The excitement was indescribable in words. The whole canal was filled with clear water in an instant and flowed down the mountain.

"Great!" You Miao jumped and yelled while hugging Li Zhifeng, but Li Zhifeng just smiled and patted his head.

There were actually a few fish that were brought up by the bucket, flopped into the canal, and swam away along the water.

The old craftsman Huang is shouting: "Stop!"

Several craftsmen worked together to turn the mechanism, and the waterwheel stopped again, apparently still debugging.

You Miao simply went down to the river and sat down. Watching the craftsmen's debugging, Li Zhifeng is really amazing. Following the instructions of the old craftsman Huang, he can control the organs that can only be turned by five or six craftsmen. It was a busy day until noon, and You Miao asked the old craftsman Huang to the side, and at the end of the evening, the old craftsman Huang reluctantly nodded.

"Let's start, young master," said a craftsman.

"How... how?" You Miao was a little nervous. On the cliff and the riverside were all people. Many people came from Guozhuang, and more from Anlu, all of them were watching this masterpiece by You Miao.

Li Zhifeng put his hand on You Miao's and said, "Are you ready?"

You Miao nodded, Li Zhifeng exerted a little force, held You Miao's hand, and the two of them pulled out a Tie Qian with a fixed rotating shaft.

The waterwheel made a loud noise and started to turn, and then it turned faster and faster, taking the river to a higher place. There were cheers everywhere, and the cheers were earth-shattering. At that moment, You Miao wanted to cry and laugh, looking at Zi Zi. The blue sky couldn't stop trembling, and finally hugged Li Zhifeng's waist and buried his head on his chest.

The two of them watched the big waterwheel turn slowly, as if a brand new future had opened up.

The waterwheel was built, and when the night tour Miao was not stingy, he set out a drink to treat guests. Everyone who came here ate the water table, set off firecrackers, opened a good wine, and treated the craftsmen well. Filled with water, it truly restored the whole picture of the quiet garden a hundred years ago.

This villa, this courtyard, every grass and one tree, if it were in the city of Yangzhou, the cost would be 100,000 taels at least.

The canal was filled with clear water, and the water flowed down the hills in an endless stream, and poured into the big lake behind Zhutang's house. After only a few days, the water would flow out of the villa along the creek and flow to Anlu.

This is a huge project that has truly benefited this place for a hundred years. From this day on, Jiangbo Villa's 6,000 mu of fertile land will no longer be troubled by droughts and floods. The village chief of Guozhuang couldn't help but admire You Miao's vision. In just a few months, he managed to manage a piece of wasteland that no one cares about.

You Miao paid wages to the craftsmen, and together with Qiao Jue, they both had nothing left. Fortunately, there is almost no place to spend much money from now on.

Spring is here, the sun is shining on people's hearts, and their bodies are warm. Qiao Jue personally took people to Liuzhou to buy shopping. You Miao sat at home, lying in Li Zhifeng's arms and basking in the sun. The green flower seedlings emerged, the sound of gurgling water, and the thump of the bamboo tube came from the backyard.

"I'll stay here all my life, and I'm not going anywhere." You Miao said comfortably.

Li Zhifeng said lightly, "The land hasn't been rented out yet, we have to wait for someone to come."
