Chapter 160: The Canal is Completed and Everyone is Happy
Seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic, Su Panpan stood there with a wooden stick and gestured on the ground, personally instructing the craftsmen and masters on how to build the canal.
As she demonstrated, she explained the key points of each step.
"The bottom of the canal should be as flat as possible to ensure that water can flow smoothly. We can also add some slope protection on both sides of the canal to prevent soil erosion."
"We need to reinforce this place with stones, otherwise it will easily collapse." Su Panpan said, picking up a stone and placing it hard on the edge of the canal.
"Also here, we need to install a filter to prevent debris from entering the canal." She pointed to another place and said.
The craftsmen listened attentively and nodded from time to time.
After the instructions were almost done, Su Panpan led the craftsmen, masters, and villagers of Huaxi Village to start digging the water diversion channel.
First, everyone cleared the weeds and bushes. After working hard for most of the day, they finally cleaned up. Su Panpan stood aside, with her hands on her hips, breathing slightly.
She looked at the open space in front of her and felt a sense of accomplishment, but she also understood that the real challenge had just begun.
Su Panpan used ropes and wooden stakes to mark the path of the canal.
"We have to work harder next time." Su Panpan said loudly, her voice full of enthusiasm.
The craftsmen, masters and villagers all nodded.
Li Si wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Miss Su, don't worry, we will definitely be able to dig this canal well."
Su Panpan smiled and said, "Then let's get started. Master Zhang, take a few people and start digging from this side. Make sure the depth and width meet the requirements. Master Li, you also need to get moving quickly over there."
Following Su Panpan's order, the craftsmen and masters picked up their tools and started digging.
Hoes and shovels were wielded, and the soil was constantly turned over.
Su Panpan shuttled back and forth in the site, checking the progress and quality of the excavation from time to time.
She squatted down and touched the freshly dug soil with her hand, feeling the moisture and texture of the soil.
I thought to myself: The condition of the soil is pretty good and it shouldn't cause too much difficulty in the excavation work.
During the excavation process, some hard rocks were encountered.
Su Panpan walked forward and carefully observed the size and position of the stone.
"Don't worry, let's move these stones together." Su Panpan said.
Craftsmen and masters all took action, some using crowbars and some using ropes.
With everyone's joint efforts, the stones were moved one by one.
As time went on, the excavation work progressed more and more smoothly.
Su Panpan looked at the canal gradually taking shape, her heart filled with joy.
But she did not dare to relax at all and always reminded the craftsmen to pay attention to safety.
"Thank you for your hard work, but be sure to pay attention to safety and don't get too tired." Su Panpan said with concern.
Su Panpan looked at the canal that was beginning to take shape and observed it more carefully.
She knew that the subsequent reinforcement work and installation of filters were crucial.
"Everyone, stop for a moment. Next we need to reinforce the edge of the canal." Su Panpan said loudly.
The craftsmen and villagers stopped their work and gathered around to listen to Su Panpan's explanation.
"We need to use these stones and soil to make the edges of the canal more solid. This will ensure that the canal remains stable under the impact of the water flow." Su Panpan said as he picked up a stone and gestured.
Everyone immediately took action, some carried stones, and some stirred the soil.
Su Panpan was also busy. She checked various locations and reminded everyone from time to time: "Pile the stones here a little higher, and compact the soil over there."
With everyone's efforts, the edge of the canal gradually became solid.
Su Panpan looked at the results of her and everyone else's work and nodded with satisfaction.
Then, it was time to install the filter. Su Panpan walked to the entrance of the canal again, holding the bamboo filter in her hand.
"The installation location of this filter is very critical. We must ensure that it can block any debris that may enter the canal." Su Panpan said seriously.
The craftsmen gathered around and watched her movements carefully.
Su Panpan skillfully fixed the filter at the entrance of the canal, and then checked again to see if it was firm.
Then Su Panpan asked everyone to put sand and stones into the ditch so that it could be filtered again.
"Well, now our canal is more complete." She said with a smile.
Wang Ma asked curiously, "Panpan, does this filter really work all the time?"
Su Panpan patiently replied, "As long as we check and clean it regularly, the filter will continue to function properly and keep the drains clear."
After completing these important steps, Su Panpan felt a little relieved.
Su Panpan continued to carefully guide the craftsmen and masters in every aspect of building the canal.
Sometimes she bent down to check the angle of the canal, and sometimes she stood up to look at the progress of the entire project.
Under her guidance, the craftsmen worked with full enthusiasm and wielded their tools more vigorously.
Over time, the main structure of the canal gradually took shape.
Su Panpan began to pay attention to the improvement of some details. She asked the craftsmen to carefully handle the joints of the canals to ensure that there would be no water leakage.
"Everyone must handle the joints properly, as this is related to the future use and lifespan of the canal." Su Panpan said seriously.
Under Su Panpan's strict requirements, the craftsmen dared not slack off in the slightest.
They work together to build high-quality canals.
Finally, after several days of hard work, the canal was successfully completed.
Su Panpan and the others stood on both sides of the canal, gazing at the clear water flowing slowly along the canal.
Tears of joy gleamed in Su Panpan's eyes. Her lips trembled slightly as she said excitedly, "We did it! We really did it!"
Shen Ru clapped her hands excitedly, a bright smile on her face: "Great!"
"Wow! We succeeded!" Erniu, Gouzi, Shunzi, Shitou, Tiezhu and others danced with joy and shouted loudly.
Craftsman Zhang wiped the sweat from his face and showed a happy and honest smile.
Craftsman Li also nodded and agreed: "Yes, all the hard work during this period is worth it."
Craftsmen Zhao and Wang smiled at each other, feeling proud to be able to participate in this task.
The eyes of the three brothers Zhao Genlai, Zhao Gensheng and Zhao Xi were full of admiration.
Zhao Xi grinned and said, "Panpan's position in our hearts will be different from now on. No wonder the county magistrate and the village head look up to her."
Aunt Wang took Mother Wang's hand and said with emotion, "This is really a great thing."
Mother Wang looked at her husband Xu Tuan with a smile, and Xu Tuan's face was also full of joy.
