Chapter 53 Water Pump

An Ning found Sun Dazhuang. After receiving the tools, he did not move, but stood aside and looked at Sun Dazhuang.

Sun Dazhuang didn't know why, he just understood.

"Old Liu, you need to fix it yourself first."

As he spoke, Sun Dazhuang came to An Ning's side.

"What's wrong? Tell me."

An Ning's eyes sparkled and the corners of her lips raised.

"I want to ask about the dry weather, what should we do next?"

Sun Dazhuang held a straw hat in his hand, fanning himself in the cool breeze, and said with some wisdom in life: "You must be in trouble when you see me."

This is the experience he has accumulated several times.

"It's a broken sky. If it doesn't rain in two days, we can only carry water to irrigate the ground. It's impossible to have no water at this time."

Sun Dazhuang was also worried, but there was nothing he could do, they all depended on the sky.

An Ning looked at the fields in the distance and continued to ask: "Is the groundwater still okay? Can I dig a well?"

There is a well in her home, which uses the principle of negative pressure to suck up groundwater.

"An Ning, not many people in our village have wells, and many of them drink water from the river, and some go to the wells at the head of the village to fetch water. Where can we get the money to dig wells for the earth?"

Sun Dazhuang's words surprised An Ning.

It turns out that her family is still a wealthy family in the village, which is new information.

"Captain, I made a manual water pump. I can arrange for people to continuously draw water from the river and let the water flow away from the ditch or temporary ditch."

Sun Dazhuang suddenly stopped slapping the straw hat with his hand and fixed his eyes on An Ning.

"What? Jumping?"

"A water pump only requires manpower to keep shaking it to pump water up from the river and flow it out continuously."

An Ning was a little embarrassed to say it. She didn't expect that the first time she made a machine, she didn't even use the electricity.

"And this thing? How did you do it?" Sun Dazhuang didn't believe it. Hearing this, it was because he was not close to the villagers.

"Read the book, look at Yang Jing, and then make it."

Sun Dazhuang has a constipated expression on his face. Can he be cured just by looking at it?

He looks at it every day, but why doesn’t he notice it?

"An Ning, I have to take a look, where is your pump?"

"at home."

An Ning took Sun Dazhuang home.

The two walked quietly. After arriving at An's house, Sun Dazhuang saw the water pump in An Ning's mouth.

"An Ning, I haven't studied much, but this thing doesn't look like it can be used."

"Besides, you're all broken."

Broken?

An Ning looked at the scattered uninstalled parts on the ground and explained: "I need to make adjustments according to the location of the river, so I have to go to the river to install it."

"Oh... I'm still thinking about it."

An Ning took a basket from home and put a bunch of parts in it, then took a soil basket and put the rest away.

Sun Dazhuang also helped carry part of it, and the two of them walked towards the river.

Sun Dazhuang was familiar with the terrain and chose a place that was most suitable for pumping water and could pour a lot of water according to the terrain.

"Captain, are you right here?"

"Well, that's it, you can fix it."

Sun Dazhuang stood back, his eyes darkened, he didn't know anything, and even now he doesn't think it can be done.

However, he was very fond of the child An Ning, so he let her give it a try first, and then he pulled her down when he knew it wouldn't work.

An Ning had no idea what Sun Dazhuang was thinking. She just nodded and started to assemble it.

At first, Sun Dazhuang didn't take it seriously, but as the thing got bigger and bigger, he became more and more concerned.

He couldn't understand anything else, but he could understand the crank handle, which was the same as the tractor handle.

An Ning installed it in about half an hour.

It is 1.2 meters long and one meter high. It looks like the head of a tractor. It has a crank handle on the outside, a belt on the other side, and four feet underneath, which are firmly inserted into the soil.

Under the entire machine, there is a section of hard plastic pipe, which is inserted directly into the river. There is also a soft plastic pipe in front, which can adjust the direction at any time.

An Ning bought these two pieces of plastic with her own money, and the soft plastic pipes were made by herself from large plastics. After all, they are not sold yet.

"Is it done? Can we clear the water now?"

Sun Dazhuang stepped forward and stretched his head to look at it. He didn't dare to touch it with his hands. He didn't care whether it was easy to use or not. If it got damaged, he would fix it.

"Okay, let me demonstrate it to the captain."

An Ning put one hand on the crank handle and shook it vigorously. The whole machine buzzed, especially like a tractor, except that it didn't use any oil.

When An Ning shook it for more than twenty times, Sun Dazhuang was heard to be as excited as a child.

"Out of the water! Out of the water!"

"Oh my god, it's really wet!"

Sun Dazhuang was like an excited ant on a hot pot. He wanted to see the water but also wanted to see the machine. For a moment, the soil under his feet was loose.

An Ning stopped moving, and the water slowly stopped.

Sun Dazhuang was so excited that he didn't know what to say. After calming down for a while, he gave An Ning a thumbs up and said, "Awesome! Awesome! That's awesome!"

This was the most complimentary thing he could think of.

An Ning just smiled brightly, and even asked a little worriedly: "Will this affect the growth of the crops?"

"No! This is not a severe drought. You can see that there is no shortage of water in the river. It's just that there is a lack of rain during this period. It will be fine if we get over it."

Hearing what Sun Dazhuang said, An Ning finally felt relieved, that's good.

"Captain, when do we start watering?"

"Pour it now. I'll go back and call someone. Just stay here and don't go anywhere."

"Captain, I'm not tired-"

Before An Ning could refuse, Sun Dazhuang said, "It's not you. You have to take care of the machine. This thing is very valuable. Don't damage it."

After finishing speaking, Sun Dazhuang ran away in a hurry.

An Ning thought about it for a moment, and the painting style just now seemed a bit familiar.

An Ning stayed behind and watched the machine while Sun Dazhuang went to call for someone. After a while, a large group of people carrying shovels came cheering.

"Where can I see it?"

"Where's the machine?"

"It's really good at pumping water!"

The villagers rushed to see the machine, but Sun Dazhuang stopped them all.

"Go as you go, go as you go, see what you want to see, and see how to fix it if it's broken."

"Captain, it can't be bad, my quality is very good."

An Ning said something disapproving, and Sun Dazhuang, who had a look of disgust on his face, immediately put on a wrinkled smiling face and his voice became softer.

"I didn't talk about you, I didn't talk about you, you did a good job, they don't know the importance."

"An Ning, please give everyone some time to open their eyes."

An Ning naturally had no objection. She shook it again and water began to flow from the water pipe. The villagers were shocked.

"Really out of water."

"Oh my god, that's amazing."

"Is this the same as that Yangjing?"

"An Ning, you are so awesome!"

"It's incredible."

"There is smoke coming out of Lao An's ancestral grave."

The praises from the villagers were so down-to-earth. In their eyes, An Ning was like a god, and the ancestors would all borrow from him.

The same goes for the people of the An family. They always knew what An Ning was tinkering with, but they didn't expect that it would become so powerful.

An Ning, who was praised, had a rare look of embarrassment on his face.

She literally just made a big ocean well.
