Su Wenxing and his brothers felt energized when Su Binglan said they should go to the river.

Soon after, Su Wenxing and his younger brothers pulled the cart out and carefully moved the parts onto it.

A villager saw them pulling the cart to the river and curiously asked, “What’s that, Wenxing? Are those parts for a piece of furniture?”

Another villager asked, “Yeah, did you make something, Wenxing?”

The villagers were curious when they saw Su Wenxing and the others protecting the waterwheel parts. Even Madam Zhou and Su Binglan were there.

“These parts are for the waterwheel Binglan designed,” Su Wenxing explained with a smile, “We just made some parts, so we’re heading to the river to assemble and install it.”

He was typically straightforward and did not talk much. However, he looked excited at that moment and would answer anyone’s questions about the waterwheel.

Su Wenxing was shocked when he first saw the blueprint. His heart still surged with excitement even now. He could have never thought of creating such a thing, even if he tried.

Only Su Binglan had the intelligence to develop something like a waterwheel. It was a tool that would make farming and other things more efficient for the entire village.

The waterwheel could carry water from the river to higher places and deliver it to the villagers. Su Wenxing and the others genuinely admired Su Binglan.

Some villagers had heard about Su Binglan developing a waterwheel. They knew they could use it to water their crops instead of traveling to and from the river.

“Is that really a waterwheel, Miss Su?”

“We heard we no longer have to carry water from the river after you install it.”

“Yeah, I heard about it too, It’s beneficial to the village.”

Su Binglan suspected her parents had spread the news about the waterwheel. She told Su Fengmao and Shen Qiuhua about the waterwheel when she got home.

The older couple probably told the workers at the tofu factory and embroidery shop about it because they were happy. Therefore, Su Binglan was not surprised that the villagers knew about it.

Moreover, she did not tell her parents to keep it a secret. If she had intended to hide it, she would have emphasized it to her parents.

Su Binglan smiled. “Indeed, it’s a waterwheel that can transport water to you all. We’re heading to the river to assemble it now.”

Everyone was ecstatic, and their eyes lit up. The villagers had initially planned to do something else. However, they changed their minds and decided to go to the river to watch Su M/enxing install the waterwheel.

“Thank you for this, Miss Su.”

“Yeah, we don’t know if we can ever thank you enough.”

The villagers did not know how else to show their appreciation. After all, Su

Binglan had helped them more than they could have ever imagined. The Su

Teng Villagers were kind and honest and knew how to repay one’s kindness.

“Miss Su, is it okay if we come to the river to watch?”

Everyone wanted to check it out and maybe even help.

“Of course you can.” Su Binglan nodded. She hoped more people would know about the waterwheel and that the surrounding villages would build one for themselves. That way, she would inadvertently help more people.

“All right, let’s help Miss Su!”

Everyone was delighted to help Su Wenxing and the others with the cart. Su

Wenxing said, “Let’s be careful. There are many things in the cart.”

“Don’t worry, Wenxing. We can handle it.”

Many villagers followed the group to the river. Meanwhile, the river continued to flow down the river bank. During that time, some of the villagers were washing their clothes there.

The sound of the villagers scrubbing their clothes by the river echoed from time to time. The air in this era was perfect, and the water was not polluted, either.

Everyone had grown accustomed to washing their clothes by the river. They had even moved a few big rocks there. The villagers used one stone to sit on and another to wash their clothes on.

Moreover, they did not use soap or laundry detergents when washing their clothes. The things they used were made from leaves and other natural things. Everyone did their laundry in one place so they could chat.

“Look, Madam Zhou and her sons are here.’

“Isn’t that Miss Su?”

Everyone was excited to see Su Binglan. The villagers were pounding their clothes with wooden sticks when they saw her. They stopped and turned to look toward Su Binglan and saw many villagers following behind.

“Isn’t that your husband, Sister Lin? Why is he here?”

Sister Lin was puzzled. “He said he’d be tending to the farm at home. I don’t see him carrvine anv farming tools.”

“What are those things on the cart? I wonder what they came here for.”

Everyone was curious. When the group got closer, a woman asked loudly,

“Madam Zhou, what are you all up to?”

Madam Zhou smiled at her neighbor and said, “We’re installing a waterwheel.” “A waterwheel?” Everyone perked up to take a look.

“That’s right,” Madam Zhou smiled, saying, “You’ll know what it looks like soon enough.”

She knew everyone was curious, so she got straight to the point. The group had met several villagers on the way, asking her the same thing.

After arriving at the river, Su Wenxing asked, “Binglan, where should we install the waterwheel?”

Su Binglan looked at the river and the surrounding fields. After choosing a spot, everyone went over and placed their tools down. Then, they started to assemble the waterwheel under Su Binglan’s guidance.

After placing gravel to level the ground, Su Wenxing and his brothers began to assemble the waterwheel according to Su Binglan’s instructions. Of course, they still had to ask her about the details because they feared something might go wrong.

Su Wenxing knew everything would fail if they made even a single mistake. Therefore, he preferred to be safe than sorry.

Su Binglan watched everyone work and said, “Install that spoke on this camphor shaft, and then install the water carriage’s bottom plate. Use the hammer to nail that onto the wooden plank.”

With everyone’s help, the waterwheel’s completion arrived quickly. The villagers were amazed with what they had built.

“Oh, we don’t need to turn the waterwheel! Look, it’s doing it on its own!”

“Yeah, the water flows into the aqueduct and then moves up and to the fields!”

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, revealing incredulous expressions. If they had not seen it in person, they would have thought it was a dream..
