When I came to Chenjiazhuang again, I was recognized by others before I even reached the door of Chenshan's house.
Several villagers smiled and greeted Zhao Feng and Chen Rou: "Hey, isn't this the tiger-fighting hero from Shantun? Are you here to see your father-in-law again?"
Zhao Feng nodded and smiled and said hello to them. After leaving, he heard the villagers talking among themselves.
"The Chen family has really found a good son-in-law!"
"Who says it isn't? Look, they eat meat every day, and it's game!"
"My son-in-law is a hero who fights tigers. This story has spread all over the country. We are not so lucky!"
Listening to the discussions of those behind, Chen Rou felt sweet in her heart, and Zhao Feng also giggled along with her.
Arriving at Chen Shan's house, when Wang saw Zhao Feng and Chen Rou, she had already changed her previous attitude and welcomed the two in happily, pulling Chen Rou along and talking.
"Oh, come on, come and get so many things!"
"I haven't finished eating the hare you brought last time, so I pickled it up. Remember to take it with you when you go back later!"
Walking into the room, she saw Chen Shan sitting on a chair. Wang quickly said: "You guys go ahead and I'll get a glass of water for my uncle!"
Seeing Wang like this, Zhao Feng felt a little confused about what to say, so he turned to Chen Shan and asked.
"Father-in-law, are your injuries feeling better?"
Chen Shan smiled and asked Zhao Feng and his wife to sit down, then nodded and said: "Don't worry, you gave me so much game, it will be fine a long time ago!"
As he said that, Chen Shan looked at Zhao Feng with great interest, and saw that Chen Rou was also wearing new clothes, so he nodded with more satisfaction.
"I didn't expect that the last time you went back, you immediately became a tiger-fighting hero! Now the news has spread throughout our village, and there are many people who want to matchmaker for you!"
After hearing what Chen Shan said, Zhao Feng quickly waved his hand and said, "Master-in-law, don't be ridiculous, I only need Chen Rou!"
But Chen Shan shook his head and said: "What are you talking about? A man can only prove his ability by marrying more!"
"I believe Xiaorou won't mind, not to mention that if you marry more, your family will be prosperous!"
Zhao Feng was suddenly embarrassed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. Although the situation in Dazhou was very tense with the number of women and the number of men, and there were even many people who had three wives and four concubines, he still wanted to talk about this with his father-in-law. This thing still made Zhao Feng feel a little uncomfortable.
At this time, Chen Man happened to come over with water, put it on the table for Zhao Feng, and said playfully: "Brother-in-law, drink water!"
This relieves Zhao Feng's embarrassment. The little girl Chen Man was already quite plump before. Now that she has enough nutrition, her face has become chubby and her figure has begun to grow slowly. .
Zhao Feng didn't think much about it. After all, Chen Man was only a teenager. In his previous life, he definitely started in three years. Instead, Chen Shan said suddenly.
"You came at the right time this time. I was thinking before that if you had the idea of taking a concubine, just marry this girl Xiaoman together!"
"She is clumsy and not very smart. Instead of letting her suffer hardships like others, it would be better for you to make her a little kid."
Zhao Feng almost squirted out a mouthful of water, but he managed to hold it back and coughed again due to choking.
"Father-in-law, I really have no idea of taking a concubine!"
When Chen Shan saw Zhao Feng's look, he couldn't help but shook his head and said no more about it.
There was nothing wrong with the two of them, but Chen Man couldn't help but look at Zhao Feng secretly. Even though the little girl was only a teenager, in this era when people were getting married at the age of sixteen, Chen Man already understood a lot.
This also made the little girl blush with embarrassment, imagining that she would marry her brother-in-law and never be separated from her sister.
Zhao Feng was afraid that Chen Shan would say something shocking again, so he said quickly.
"Father-in-law, actually I came here this time to ask my father-in-law for help with something!"
Chen Shan looked at Zhao Feng curiously, and Zhao Feng said directly: "Zhang Yue, there is a severe drought this year. I heard that many crops are about to die. Is this true?"
Hearing Zhao Feng talk about business, Chen Shan also nodded seriously.
"It's true. Even the few acres of land we have are almost dying of drought. I've been watering it when I feel better these days, but no!"
Zhao Feng pondered for a while and said to Chen Shan: "Zhang Yue, I looked on the road when I came here. The water source is two or three miles away from here, and it's still under the mountain."
"Not only is it tiring to go back and forth, but it's also inefficient. It's estimated that we won't be able to save many crops at all!"
Chen Shan also nodded, and then looked at Zhao Feng strangely.
"Why are you asking about this? I remember that your family seems to be a white household, without land, right?"
Zhao Feng smiled and said to Chen Shan: "Actually, I have an idea here. As long as we can let water flow to the mountains, wouldn't we be able to solve the drought problem?"
Chen Shan's eyes widened in shock: "What are you talking about? Let the water flow to the mountain? How is this possible!"
A mysterious smile appeared on Zhao Feng's face: "This may not be impossible! If my father-in-law is willing to believe me, I guarantee that not only will we not have to worry about drought this year, but we will also be able to earn enough food for a year!"
Chen Shan suddenly took a breath. Originally he didn't want to believe this, but thinking of Zhao Feng's various deeds, he couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in this matter.
Before, everyone thought that Zhao Feng could not lift the big tree, but he used a long wooden stick and let Chen Rou, a weak woman, lift the big tree.
Can he also make water flow up the mountain now?
Chen Shan's curiosity was also aroused. Zhao Feng took him directly to the room next to him where he was doing carpentry work, and the two started tinkering.
Until dinner time, the two of them were still in the room and did not come out. Instead, Zhao Feng came out and brought in some bamboo and wood.
After Mrs. Wang finished cooking, she saw two sisters, Chen Rou and Chen Man, staring at the room over there.
"What are you doing? Why don't you eat?"
"Go and ask your husband and your father to come out for dinner!"
Chen Rou agreed, walked over and poked her head into the room, only to find that two people were banging on a big wheel-like thing.
"Ms. Daddy, we're out for dinner!"
Chen Shan waved his hand and looked at the big wheel with bright eyes.
"You guys eat first, I have to study this thing carefully!"
Zhao Feng quickly said to Chen Shan.
"Father-in-law, let's eat quickly!"
"After dinner, the two of us will take this thing to the river and try it. Then we can study it!"
Chen Shan had no choice but to agree, walked over with Zhao Feng, finished the meal in three mouthfuls, and then pulled Zhao Feng to try it quickly.
Zhao Feng couldn't resist him, so he had to push this big wooden wheel-like thing down the mountain.
Some people on the road saw the thing the two of them were pushing and followed them out of curiosity.
