142 Commoner’s Way of Life
Chu Tianbao put down the bucket and returned to Bai Wutong’s side. Bai Wutong asked him, “Are you tired?”
Chu Tianbao shook his head and said loudly, “I’m not tired.”
...He smiled again and said, “Wife, you can rest. I’ll go water the remaining seedlings.”
Their task for the day was to finish watering two acres. There was still another acre to be watered down there.
Bai Wutong smiled. “Alright, go ahead. I’ll go home and cook first.”
Chu Tianbao suddenly widened his eyes and looked aggrieved, as if he was saying “how could you abandon me like this?”
Bai Wutong held his calloused hand and her smile deepened. “Don’t you want to eat anymore?”
Chu Tianbao pursed his lips. “I’ll be done soon.” He was implying that she could wait for him here for a while.
How clingy. Bai Wutong stood up. “Alright, I’ll come with you.”
After watering the plants and returning home, Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao ate. Then, she went to the study and used the computer in her space to search for many relevant information.
With the advanced technology from the apocalypse world, there were also all kinds of sprayer blueprints. After sorting them out for a long time, Bai Wutong finally found a suitable sprayer blueprint.
Firstly, wood was used to make a carry-on wooden box. Water was filled inside and one had to pump air in. Then, upon carrying it and holding up the spray, it would be easy to use the equipment.
The length of the spout, the size of the water column, and the length of the straps could be freely adjusted. When one needed to water, they could just change to a thicker spout if they wanted to release more water.
Even if the spray machine wasn’t used to water and ward off bugs, it could also be used to clean the door, clean the pigpen, sanitize, and so on.
Bai Wutong was very satisfied with the blueprint. Just as she was about to stand up and look for Zhao Sheng, she turned around and was caught off guard. She had accidentally kissed Chu Tianbao on the face.
Chu Tianbao chuckled and kissed Bai Wutong, who was rarely this proactive.
There was no order to it. He was like a big wolf dog licking her face.
Bai Wutong hurriedly pressed down on his head and warned fiercely, “How many times have I told you not to kiss me without my permission?”
Chu Tianbao was excited and immediately asked obediently, “Wife, can I kiss you?”
He had already kissed her so many times. Bai Wutong glared at him. “No.”
Chu Tianbao teased her again. “Wife ~”
Bai Wutong pushed him away. “No! I have business to attend to.”
Chu Tianbao immediately looked hurt. “Wife ~”
With his god-like appearance, she was the one who would benefit from a kiss on his face.
Bai Wutong sighed, took his face in her hands and kissed him gently on his perfect lips. “Done.”
Chu Tianbao pouted. “More.”
“…”
Bai Wutong reached out and pinched Chu Tianbao’s pouting mouth. “Do you still want it?”
She had spoiled him too much recently.
Chu Tianbao howled, “Wuwuwu, I don’t want it anymore…” He would want more at night.
Bai Wutong handed the blueprint to Zhao Sheng.
A week later, Bai Wutong received all the parts of the spray machine.
The modern tool was made of plastic, so the spray machine made of wood was naturally heavier.
Bai Wutong assembled all the parts according to the blueprint. A wooden and square bag that looked very strange attracted everyone.
Cui Lingyi studied it curiously. “What is this?”
Bai Wutong led her to the canal and filled the water storage tank. She closed the lid and carried it on her back. She pressed the handle and pushed the lock back. The spray that Bai Wutong was holding in her other hand suddenly had water.
Everyone thought that the new invention made by Bai Wutong was leaking. They hurriedly said, “Madam! There’s a leak here!”
Bai Wutong pushed the lock back again, and the exit was blocked.
Before anyone could understand what it was, Bai Wutong saw a small sapling beside her. She aimed the spray at it and with a whoosh, water came out again.
A thought flashed through everyone’s mind and they missed it.
Village Chief Zhao was the first to react. He said excitedly, “Is the wooden box designed by Madam to water the seedlings?”
Bai Wutong smiled. “Yes.”
Village Chief Zhao praised, “Madam, you’re really too smart. I’ve been farming all my life, but I’ve never seen such a convenient thing to water the seedlings.”
Bai Wutong smiled. “If you think the amount of water is too little, you can change the spray.”
With that, Bai Wutong put down the sprayer and replaced it with a thick spray.
Under everyone’s expectant gazes, Bai Wutong pressed the sprayer back and forth a few times. After a while, she pulled the lock again. Not only did the speed of the water coming out increase, but the water flow also became stronger.
Everyone was instantly shocked. The children’s eyes were about to fall out and their faces were filled with desire to play with the new gadget.
Chu Tianbao’s eyes lit up as he said what everyone was thinking, “Wife, can I play?”
He looked impatient and shared the same expression on the faces of the children.
Bai Wutong smiled and said, “You can play every day from now on.”
Chu Tianbao cheered. “Wife, you’re the best!” He immediately took the sprayer.
Without needing Bai Wutong to teach him, Chu Tianbao raised the spray and sprayed around fiercely.
The water splashed like rain.
The children surrounded him and cheered. “So awesome!”
Village Chief Zhao and the others could not help but say, “So amazing!”
If they had one of these watering tool, they wouldn’t have to carry a bucket back and forth to water the land.
The three men from Village Chief Zhao’s family had to work hard to reclaim 20 acres of land!
These 20 acres were not connected. Some of them were far from the canal, and it would take at least six hours to water each acre.
If they had Madam’s invention, they wouldn’t have to bend down when watering. It would be much more convenient and easy.
Bai Wutong filled the box with water. But after a while, Chu Tianbao finished it.
He collected another box of water and pumped it. He raised the spray and sprayed everywhere. Soon he mastered a new skill. He raised the spray in the air, on the ground, and drew circles on the trees. He drew waves and even wrote Bai Wutong’s name.
Xiaobai hated water, yet Chu Tianbao deliberately sprayed it.
Xiaobai became a drenched wolf and used its finishing move, Spiral shake, to shake off the water onto Lin Yue.
Everyone’s eyes were about to pop out from envy.
This was too much fun!
They wanted to have one too!
The children grabbed their parents’ hands and said at the same time, “Dad, Mom, I want to play that too!”
Their parents looked down at them. What should they do? They really wanted to play too.
Bai Wutong had designed this sprayer for two reasons. Firstly, she wanted to use it for watering. Secondly, she wanted to resolve everyone’s difficulties. She smiled and said, “I’ve given the blueprint to Brother Zhao. If you want to make a sprayer, you can look for Brother Zhao to customize it.”
Before everyone could rejoice, Yang Quanzi said, “No!”
“A sprayer is such an amazing tool. It’s convenient and practical. It can greatly increase the efficiency of farming. How can we use Madam’s blueprint for nothing!”
Ling Kingdom had placed a huge emphasis on agriculture and curbing business. Bai Wutong’s spray machine would definitely be valued by the government and widely promoted!
If they used it casually like cleaning paper again, if Bai Wutong created something in the future and didn’t give it to everyone, they would complain.
The human heart was just such a strange thing.
When they were in a comfortable state, they would want to be more comfortable. For their own selfish reasons, they could forget their original intentions.
Whether it would happen in the future or not, at least for now, one had to consciously restrain oneself and prevent becoming an insatiable person.
