Chapter 312: Solving the Well Drilling Machine Problem

Actually Yang Qing was mistaken; given the current groundwater depth, hardly any water pipe is needed.

The cost is still within an acceptable range.

The real issue is the well pipe.

Xiao Lin doesn't understand this and took the well pipe for a water pipe.

Moreover, Yang Qing's thinking hasn't shifted; he still assumes the groundwater is dozens to hundreds of meters deep and therefore needs dozens of meters of water pipe.

Moreover, there is currently no professional well centrifugal pump, so they need to design it in conjunction and then hand it over to Stone City Water Pump Factory for production.

A group of mechanics designing a water pump is no small feat.

After Yang Qing joins the Well Drilling Machine research group and figures out the truth,

he slapped himself.

He hurriedly told them the idea of a reinforced concrete well pipe.

They suddenly understood.

"Concrete pipe?"

"How did we not think of that?"

Yang Qing ignored them, and quickly took the two water pump designs he had drawn based on their required data to find Director Wang.

Director Wang saw him arrive and teased.

"What, someone else came to your place to mooch a meal again?"

Yang Qing took out the sketch he had drawn.

"Director Wang, our Well Drilling equipment research succeeded, but this water pump still hasn't yielded results."

"I'm not here to trouble you, Aunt."

Director Wang, knowing the well drilling project Yang Qing is handling, took the drawings and told him to go back and wait for news.

"I will, in the name of Jingcheng, have them promptly finalize the drawings and produce a batch of the water pumps you need and ship them over."

"If the well can really achieve the effect you described, I'll reward you then."

"But you are still a Jiedao enterprise, so the matter still needs to be reported to the Jiedao."

"Don't let people say you have no discipline."

Yang Qing said he understood.

He indeed had been a bit negligent; he hadn't gone to the Jiedao for so long.

It felt a bit arrogant.

"Alright, Aunt Wang, it was my negligence."

Aunt Wang waved her hand: "Then go right away."

Yang Qing returned to the factory, took the documents, and went to the Jiedao.

The new director, an elder promoted from the Jiedao, is also quite familiar with Yang Qing.

He also knows the relationship between Yang Qing and Director Wang.

So he didn't make things difficult for Yang Qing; instead he was pleased that Yang Qing could come to the Jiedao to report his work to her.

Therefore nothing untoward happened here.

If they weren't familiar, Director Wang would have reminded Yang Qing long ago; it wouldn't be only now.

Having solved a major worry, Yang Qing felt very good.

So he returned home a bit early.

As soon as he got back to the Siheyuan, he sensed the courtyard's bustle.

Sha Zhu returned early, and was doing the vegetable chores with his brother-in-law Liu Feng.

Li Da Xiong was busy preparing for the evening wedding banquet.

Jia Zhangshi looked at the tables and chairs placed in the courtyard and said sarcastically.

"Da Xiong can handle it; for the wedding banquet, the wine, dishes, and meat are all provided, and you can even collect a gift money."

"Everything inside and out is earned."

Yang Qing entered just in time to hear it.

"Jia Shen'er, as long as there's food, that's enough; wouldn't a proper meal be fine?"

"Don't be like last time, eating only half—that's wasteful."

Jia Zhangshi recalled the last time she was brought back by Qin Huairu.

"Hmph, if Qin Huairu dares to ruin my affairs again, I'll cut off his finger."

Yang Qing chuckled, clearly looking down on her.

"Jia Shen'er, for your own good, I have to remind you."

"Qinjiacun today is not the same as before; now Qinjiacun comes to the city once every day or two."

"Don't just say you'll cut off Qin Huairu's finger; if you scold her a few more times, people will copy it, and the folks of Qinjiacun will find out."

Tsk tsk…

Jia Zhangshi still doesn't know the current state of Qinjiacun and doesn't believe Yang Qing's words at all.

"Your tsk tsk is nonsense; even if they find out, what can they do? They're just peasants, why should I fear them?"

Yang Qing stuck out his thumb.

"Impressive, Jia Shen'er, you're still awesome."

"Since Qin Huairu facilitated the cooperation between Qinjiacun and our Agricultural Machinery Factory."

"Now Sister Qin is a great hero in their village."

"Someone once spoke ill of Sister Qin behind her back, and the village chief broke his leg."

Now Qinjiacun is protecting the calf, protecting it dearly, all day thinking about how to repay Qin sister.

Still Jia Shen'er is formidable, not afraid at all.

Yang Qing's words made the atmosphere of the whole courtyard pause for a moment.

"What, Qin Huairu has become this formidable now?"

"Qin Huairu indeed has been running home frequently."

Afterwards, the people in the courtyard changed their gaze toward Jia Zhangshi.

Previously, Jia Zhangshi bullied Qin Huairu, relying on the fact that Qin Huairu had no one to back her up.

Now her natal family has risen in power; if Jia Zhangshi still tries to push her around, she must consider the consequences.

After hearing Yang Qing's words, Jia Zhangshi also felt a bit guilty inside.

But losing to a person doesn't mean losing the formation; in momentum, we must still grasp it.

"Hmph, even if someone backs her up, what does it matter? I am Dong Xu's mother, Qin Huairu's mother-in-law."

"I dare anyone to move against me."

Yang Qing saw through her fierce exterior but weak interior.

"Jia Shen'er, do you have someone in the city backing you up?"

"Or are your rural relatives able to back you up?"

"There's a saying, I don't know if you've heard it?"

"The future is long."

"They might not be able to beat you, but every time they come to the city, they block your doorway and scold you; how will you cope?"

Jia Zhangshi instantly went mute; playing the rogue is her specialty.

If someone else treated her like that, she would think she could hardly bear it.

"Is there any justice left…… bullying me, an old woman……"

Yang Qing laughed heartily.

"I didn't expect that Jia Shen'er would be afraid of this."

Having said that, he walked toward home.

Leaving a group of people who wanted to laugh but couldn't.

Jia Zhangshi's face flushed red then turned pale; finally she spat at Yang Qing's back.

"Yang Qing, you scoundrel."

He Yuzhu watched the embarrassed Jia Zhangshi, feeling delighted inside.

"Jia Shen'er, I told you earlier to watch your tongue."

"You see, something's about to happen."

"Those words you used to curse the Qin family, many people in our courtyard still remember them."

"If the people of Qinjiacun found out about this..."

Sha Zhu's words again drew a crowd of laughter.

Jia Zhangshi couldn't face staying outside; she turned and ducked into the house.

Someone asked curiously.

"Is what Yang Qing said true or false? Has Qinjiacun become this formidable now?"

"Running to the city every day?"

Yi Da Ma put down Jia Ling.

"This Yang Qing kid never lies; he said his Agricultural Machinery Factory is cooperating with Qinjiacun, which could be true."

Liu Shumin said enviously.

"When Qin Huairu returns, we'll just ask and know."

San Da Ma also said.

"Yang Qing, whatever he does, he succeeds; his factory cooperating with Qinjiacun might actually succeed."

Everyone found this convincing.

At that moment, Gu Ning returned.

She had finished cleaning, so her time was relatively free, allowing her to leave early.

San Da Ma called him over.

"Gu Ning, come over, come over; we have a question for you."
