After studying around the waterwheel for a long time, Xia Yang didn't find any way out, so he was carried by Xia Yi to do his homework.

Xia Yang's buttocks just next to the stool, heard the sound in the hospital and then bounced up from the stool, "sister, someone's coming."

"Well, I'll see." Xia Yi answered a, pressed Xia Yang back to the chair.

She knows what Xia Yang thinks.

On weekdays, there are no more than a few people in Xiayi's family.

No matter who comes here, as long as Xia Yang says a word, he will accompany Xia Yang to practice the whip.

"Oh..." Xia Yang said, his eyes still go to the window, the window in winter is pasted tightly, and he can't see anything, so he can only listen to the steps to judge that people are going to enter the door.

Huo Jie's situation is not much better than Xia Yang's. after the spring of the new year, he will have an exam, so he can't go out easily.

Anyway, I will be admitted this time. If I delay for another two years, I should get married.

What's more, Huo Sheng, Shu Zhongyuan and Xia Yue are all young students. Huo Jie always wanders to the barracks with a whip all day. General Huo is worried to death.

Leng qianjue and Mo Ruhua are sent out by Xiao Linmu, not in the capital.

Xia Yi just a little thought, can guess who is.

Just opened the door, then verified Xia Yi's guess.

Uncle an is holding a big object in his arms, covered with cloth.

He put the object in his arms on the table and said to Xia Yi, "Uncle an will find a good object for you. It's definitely more fun than the swing in your yard."

Xia Yang heard the movement of the main room in his study and came out.

"What?"

Uncle an holds down Xia Yang and wants to lift the little hand of mengbu. He says mysteriously, "you wait here first, and I'll show you later."

Xia Yang still took back his curious little hand and put Dabai in his arms again.

After uncle an left the house, Xia Yang raised his head and asked Xia Yi, "sister, what will uncle an bring?"

Xia Yi shakes her head, but her eyes don't move away from the cloth.

I feel familiar with the shape of the cloth

Just thinking about it, uncle an came back with a basin of water in his hand.

Looking at the basin of water in Uncle an's hand, Xia Yi can't help frowning. This familiar move makes it hard for Xia Yi not to think about it.

Uncle an didn't find that there was something wrong with Xia Yi's expression. He stretched out his hand to uncover the covering cloth.

Sure enough

As like as two peas, the size of the water truck is not changed, and the wood is the same.

At a glance, we can see that it was also made by an old carpenter.

Xia Yang is not like Xia Yi. He guessed some from the beginning. He was full of expectation.

After waiting for the Mongolian cloth to uncover, Xia Yang is also Leng, "Uncle an, is that what you said?"

Aware of some disappointment in Xia Yang's tone, uncle an said, "this is a water cart. I want to pour water to play."

Uncle an poured the water in carefully, and the waterwheel began to turn, and the villains on it also moved, pushing the waterwheel.

As like as two peas, I must have felt very happy when I first met.

The freshness was given to the first waterwheel. Xia Yang didn't even move forward. He still stood in the same place, holding Dabai in his arms.

Uncle an felt something was wrong. He looked at Xia Yang and Xia Yi. Then he said, "why do you all have this expression?"

Xia Yi sighed and said, "Uncle an, I suggest you go to the study."

Uncle an strides into the study and sees the happy water wheel turning on the desk.

He was so stupid in an instant, "this... This... This..."

I didn't say a word for a long time.

If it wasn't for the mask, you could see that his face under the mask was red.

When he bought the waterwheel, the old carpenter didn't want to sell it to him. It was only after he had spent a lot of money that the old carpenter reluctantly agreed.

Xia Yi has as like as two peas here. How can uncle Ann feel strange?

Xia Yi silently takes out a money bag, "Uncle an, is this yours?"

Uncle an was even more confused.

Of course, he knew the money bag. Today he gave it to the old carpenter in the carpenter's shop.

He can't figure out how the money bag ran to Xia Yi's hand in a blink of an eye.

Uncle Ann nodded blankly.

"..." Xia Yi silently hands the money bag to Uncle an. She thinks that she is the big man in the capital. Qian Qian takes a fancy to the gadgets she has spare time to make!

No matter what she thought, she would not think about Uncle Ann.

Although uncle an has been eating every day since he came to the capital city, it's a big deal to spend so much money on a small gadget.

Even in the capital, where money is spent like dirt, there are not many people who can afford it.

The money in the purse is obviously less than half, and uncle an can see it.

Without waiting for uncle an to ask, Xia Yi explains the cause and effect.

"You said... The old carpenter made the water wheel according to your drawing?"

Uncle an's hand holding the money bag was shaking. He was also excited.

"Well." Xia Yi nodded, "who knows you spent so much money to buy it back..."

"You did it?"

Uncle Ann solemnly confirmed it again.

"I drew the drawings." Xia Yi doesn't know why Uncle an is so excited, but she answers again.

Uncle an's eyes were covered with a thin layer of fog. Because of his strong restraint, his eyes were a little red.

He took a deep breath and said, "do you know why I spent so much money on it?"

"Because... My mother?" Xia Yi ponders for a moment and asks.

Uncle Ann nodded heavily.

"When your mother had nothing to do, she once made a similar water wheel to play, but there was no villain on it..."

Xia Yi is a little surprised, "why didn't I hear the old lady talk about it..."

Uncle an laughed. "That was when your mother was young, and the waterwheel was one of the many gadgets your mother made. At that time, your mother had not been to Xiliang, and it was normal for old lady Chu not to see it."

"Most people in Xiliang don't know that waterwheel was originally invented by your mother."

“……”

About mother, Xia Yi just heard from Uncle an or old lady Chu.

For Xia Yi, she is just a person living in their memories.

They mentioned it more than once, but none of them mentioned it to her carefully. This is the first time Xia Yi has heard a person talk about her formally.

Uncle an's eyes sparkled when he spoke.

That light is called worship.

Xia Yi can't help but be a little more curious about the person in their memory.

She pulled the stool and sat down, listening carefully to Uncle an's story.
