Siheyuan: Don't mess with me, I just want to be a free fish

Chapter 270 Next Steps

When he was first caught, Meng Dayong hated Li Weidong the most.

After all, he was going to get away with it, but the other party recognized Luoyang Chan, which exposed him.

Later, during the transformation, he deeply realized his 'mistake'.

But to say that it really changed, it was when Gong Jiadong tortured and extorted a confession because of the theft of gold, and even wanted to silence him.

If it weren't for Li Weidong, their uncle and nephew would have died.

It can be said that after that time, his hatred for Li Weidong completely disappeared.

In its place was a deep sense of gratitude.

Especially after recuperating from his injuries, he didn't go to prison, but stayed here all the time. Even because of some of his good performances, his rehabilitation period was only two years.

In other words, as long as seven hundred days and nights, he can bring his nephew home.

When it was a long trip.

After recovering from the injury, he spontaneously devoted himself to the transformation.

But Xu Zhiqiang took care of him and didn't let him follow those prisoners to cultivate in the wild, but arranged him in a shed, where it was not only warm, but also easy to work.

After Li Weidong came over just now, he really wanted to go up and thank them in person, but because he knew the identities of the two, he didn't dare.

"Leader, are you looking for me?"

Meng Dayong lowered his body and came outside with Li Weidong.

"How is your body? Are you better?"

"It's all good, it doesn't affect work at all."

Meng Dayong didn't expect Li Weidong to still care about his physical condition, so he couldn't help being even more moved.

Even if he moves a little bigger now, it still hurts, but he doesn't care at all.

"Accompany me to the ancient tomb."

Li Weidong greeted, and the two came to the ancient tomb behind the mountain bag.

At this moment, a large part of the ravine has been excavated, and the entrance has also been leveled.

At the entrance, an iron gate was even installed, mainly to prevent someone from 'accidentally' entering.

Since the people from the Institute of Archeology and Cultural Relics left, this place has been locked.

Basically everything that should be excavated inside has been dug clean.

Even if there is any leftover, it is either buried very deep or has no value.

When Li Weidong came here, someone immediately opened the iron gate, and then led the way with a flashlight.

Entering the main tomb, it has already been evacuated, and even the heavy sarcophagus was taken away by the archaeological research institute.

After turning around, Li Weidong had a clear understanding of the scale of this ancient tomb, one main tomb and two accompanying burial rooms.

The area of ​​the main tomb is about [-] to [-] square meters, and the interior is three meters high, which is quite empty.

Although hundreds of years have passed, it still looks solid here, without any sign of collapse.

"I'm going to transform this place into an air defense shelter, what do you think?"

After Li Weidong looked around, he asked Meng Dayong who was on the side.

The other party was already good at digging holes. Although Shi Wenbai did not give him the ancestral craftsmanship, he had been with the other party, more or less, and he still had some understanding of how to dig and build ancient tombs.

In other words, although Meng Dayong has not studied for a few days, let alone systematically studied the structure of architecture, it does not mean that he cannot do this job.

"Ah, the shelter? Pretty good."

Meng Dayong never thought that Li Weidong would ask him for his opinion, let alone that the other party brought him here for this purpose.

Along the way, he was still frightened.

"How about the difficulty? How much can it expand without collapsing and being firm?"

Li Weidong asked questions of concern.

In the eyes of many people in later generations, digging an air-raid shelter is like a ground mouse. It is meaningless and will only waste manpower and material resources.

But in fact, at the moment, air-raid shelters and even mandatory regulations are correct.

Whether it is a factory, a small county, or even a rural area, this thing is indispensable.

Even in later generations, on the surface, it seems that there is no such thing.

But in fact, the basements, underground garages, and even many large underground shopping malls in those communities are essentially civil air defense projects.

Especially in densely populated areas and large communities, if there is no civil defense layer, it will not pass the approval at all.

So when Li Weidong said that he wanted to transform this place into an air-raid shelter, Zhao Haifeng didn't even hesitate.

If it weren't for the new farm and the shortage of prisoners, he would have to pay attention to this matter himself.

Now that Li Weidong took the initiative to take the job, it was too late for him to be happy.

After hearing Li Weidong's words, Meng Dayong didn't answer immediately, but began to think seriously.

Even compare it from time to time.

And Li Weidong was not in a hurry, and waited patiently.

After more than ten minutes, Meng Dayong said: "Leader, according to your requirements, five more spaces like this can be dug out, but each one must be separated by a certain distance."

"Five?"

Li Weidong pondered, even if the main tomb is calculated on the basis of [-] square meters, if five more are dug, the total will be six.

The total actual usable area can reach more than 200 square meters.

It sounds huge, but it is only the size of a large flat.

Even if it is full, how many people can it hold?

This was a bit far from what he expected.

"Can it be enlarged?"

"Yes, but in that case, materials such as cement and steel bars will be needed, and the amount of work will increase a lot."

"You don't need to worry about this. I will be responsible for solving it when the time comes. I just want to know, what scale can this place reach in the end? How big is the area?"

For others, it is difficult to get these materials, but for Li Weidong, it is not a big problem.

The rolling mill alone owed him a lot of favors, so it would be no problem to buy a few loads of steel bars.

As for cement, the last time he contacted and exchanged new year's goods, he met a section chief of the procurement department of a cement factory.

"Ten, if there is reinforced concrete, I can dig out ten more holes like this, ones that won't collapse even in three to five hundred years."

Meng Dayong clearly heard that Li Weidong attached great importance to this place, so he gritted his teeth and said harshly.

"Well, yes, I will find someone to help you later. As long as this place is built, it will count as a meritorious deed and a reduced sentence. The day it is built is the time for you to complete the transformation."

Li Weidong is not the kind of "stingy" person, as long as Meng Dayong works hard, it's okay to give him a little sweetness.

It was just a small sweetness in his eyes, but to Meng Dayong, it was definitely a big surprise.

He had calculated just now that it would take at most a year to dig ten more holes like this.

Doesn't this mean that after a year, he will be able to go home?

What is the grace of regeneration?
That's it.

"Leader, I, I will kowtow to you."

Meng Dayong was so excited that he was about to kneel down.

Not only because of this time, but also because Li Weidong saved his life before.

"Stop it, what age is it, and you kowtow at every turn, do you want me to make a mistake?"

Li Weidong grabbed the opponent.

"If you want to thank me, remodel this place as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, I will."

Meng Dayong has already decided that from tomorrow, no, from today, he will take root here wholeheartedly.

When to remodel and when to leave!

However, not long after Meng Dayong made up his mind, he obediently followed him and left.

As a prisoner undergoing reform, he doesn't have much autonomy. Would he want to go back to his cell at night?

Think beautifully.

Li Weidong solved another matter, and he was in a good mood.

The reason why he paid so much attention to the air-raid shelter was not just to complete the farm's rigid targets, but for a purpose.

In name, this is an air-raid shelter, but in his eyes, this is a refuge.

But this sanctuary was not prepared for him 'himself'.

This is related to his next plan.

If the greenhouse was the first step for him to gain a foothold in the sixth farm, then this shelter was the second step in his vision.

On the surface, the greenhouse is obviously more important. As long as it succeeds, it will increase the grain production of the farm. Even once it is popularized and achieved remarkable results, it is equivalent to adding another amulet that is no less than first-class merit.

But from the perspective of the future, the role that this refuge can play may be even greater.

It's just too early to tell.

Refuge takes a year, and now, it's the end of the year, and 1963 is about to begin.

So even if it can be put into use here, it will be in 1964, and it may be later.

The only thing he wasn't sure about was whether he was still at the Sixth Farm at that time.

But no matter what, here are all the pawns he dropped.

Sooner or later it will come in handy.

Li Weidong left the ancient tomb, went around the cafeteria again, and told the other party to cook two more dishes for Professor Zhao in the greenhouse at noon and send them over.

At the same time, he also met Zhang Ruolan.

The other party was full of embarrassment, probably knowing that he had caused trouble, and almost got Li Zhankui involved.

She was a little unconfident in the first place, and such a thing happened within a few days of her arrival, for fear that Li Weidong would hate her and drive her away.

After all, she knew very well that the reason why she was able to work here was all because of Li Zhankui.

"I gave Da Kui a two-day vacation, and asked him to go back and discuss with his family, and try to get you to register it as soon as possible. What do you think?"

Unexpectedly, Li Weidong not only left without turning his head, but even talked to her.

"what?"

Zhang Ruolan obviously didn't expect Li Weidong to tell her this.

Even she didn't know about Li Zhankui's return home.

More importantly, what did Li Weidong say?
Let them register it earlier?

At this time, there were still many people in the cafeteria. When Li Weidong came in, they secretly looked over here.

And Li Weidong didn't deliberately avoid what he said, so the people next to him could hear it clearly.

Especially when the other party was talking about Brother Da Kui.

In addition to Zhang Ruolan in front of him, it is self-evident who he is referring to.

It seems that Xu Zhiqiang did not lie last time.

They are not only from the same village, they are also obviously very close.

Otherwise, why didn't Li Weidong send others to work on the farm?

"Then I'll be waiting to eat your wedding candy."

Li Weidong didn't care about Zhang Ruolan's reaction at all, and nodded to her, then glanced at the nervous cafeteria officer next to him, turned and left.
