Nan Feng, in her frustration, chased the group of mischievous children for a distance, until they’d run far away, before she returned.

At that point, Ye-Ge also looked up at her.

To alleviate her embarrassment, Nan Feng pretended to angrily scold, “Those rascals really annoy me, spreading needless gossip.”

Ye-Ge was busy hammering bamboo stakes, due to the hot weather, his clothes were completely soaked, clinging to his body, his muscles even more pronounced.

Nan Feng, watching his focused look, had thought he wouldn’t respond and was about to continue digging the irrigation trench, only to hear Ye-Ge suddenly ask, “Does their gossip truly upset you?”

What did he mean?

Shouldn’t she be upset?

Should she?

Nan Feng was taken aback for a moment, but Ye-Ge was already busying himself again, clearly not expecting her to respond.

She watched his back for a while, then continued digging.

…

And so, piece by piece, the “pipe” was entirely buried underground.

Once everything was done, Nan Feng invited Nan Quanyou, Zhou Er-ye and Uncle and Aunt Lan to see their work.

Sima Guang, the little friend, came uninvited.

Everyone began to ask questions:

“The vegetable field is much higher than the river, can the bamboo pipe really carry water up?” Nan Quanyou asked.

“We can’t see the bamboo pipe in the field.

It won’t take up any space in people’s vegetable plots, but I’m afraid that if the bamboo pipe explodes underground, that would be troublesome,” Aunt Lan said.

Only young Sima Guang spoke with a very serious look, “Everyone, don’t panic.

Nan Feng and Ye-Ge have tested this countless times, they have full confidence.”

Nan Feng shot a glance at Sima Guang, but this wasn’t the time to argue with him about how he addressed her.

Now was the time to show everyone the fruits of her and Ye-Ge’s labor.

“Yes, Father and Aunt Lan, we have considered the problems you’ve raised, but we have already solved these problems.

Now it’s time to witness a miracle,” Nan Feng laid her hand on the switch of the water pipe.

The switch was Ye-Ge’s invention, making a notch at the end of the bamboo pipe, carving a wooden plug to fit the notch.

When the plug is inserted into the notch, it is in a closed state. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

When the plug is removed, it is in the open state.

Thanks to Ye-Ge’s exceptionally good knife skills, he could make a perfect fit.

Even a slight discrepancy would certainly cause a water leak.

Nan Feng thought to herself, “Without Ye-Ge’s exceptional carving skills, even with the best concept, this project wouldn’t have been possible.”

Nan Feng removed the switch, using a specially made plug to extract the air from inside; this principle was like a modern agricultural watering can.

When the air was pushed out, the water naturally came flowing up.

A dozen minutes later, after the air had been sucked out, a stream of clear water suddenly burst from the bamboo pipe and flowed continuously into the reservoir.

At that moment, Nan Feng was ecstatic but couldn’t express it in words.

She subconsciously looked at Ye-Ge.

This was something they’d done together.

Now it was successful, only she and Ye-Ge could fully appreciate the fruits of their hard work.

Unexpectedly, she saw Ye-Ge smile.

He had always smiled before, but it was always a casual one, at most a twitch of the lips.

But now, Ye-Ge had his mouth wide open, revealing neat white teeth inside.

Then, Nan Feng extended her hands to him.

To her surprise, Ye-Ge quickly noticed her intention and gave her a high five.

However, after high-fiving, Nan Feng’s face turned as red as her neck.

Luckily, Nan Quanyou and others focused their attention on the water pipe.

The group of people began to discuss lively again:
