Chapter 98

Early the next morning, Zhao Laosi came with tools.

When he arrived at the duty room, he greeted Lu Changhua and the two walked north together.

The dam of the northern reservoir is nearly 500 meters away from the main dam, and four trucks of red bricks are unloaded here.

"Master, you can choose a spot in this area."

Zhao Laosi narrowed his eyes and looked around for a while.

When the sluice was first built, he still poured concrete.

In fact, he is very familiar with this film.

Zhao Laosi pointed to a place about thirty meters away on the west side of the dam and said, "That's good."

"Well, that's good. The terrain is high and there is a certain distance from the water."

Lu Changhua and Zhao Laosi walked onto this small highland.

He looked at it and asked, "Does it need to be bulldozed?"

"It would be nice to bulldoze it."

"Okay, I'll find a car."

Lu Changhua returned to the duty room, got on his motorcycle and ran to the maintenance team.

He still wants to find Li Zhenguo.

The maintenance team has been busy repairing the seeder these days.

Wheat will be sown in mid-April.

Seeing Lu Changhua suddenly coming, Li Zhenguo just smiled in the office. What's the matter with this kid? !

"Captain, captain, help, emergency!"

Lu Changhua broke into Li Zhenguo's office directly.

"What's going on? What's the matter?"

Seeing Lu Changhua in such a hurry, Li Zhenguo was shocked.

"Send Lao Lin's car to me."

"What?"

"Two things need him to do. One is to level the foundation, and the other is to help me turn over the wasteland to the east of the vegetable garden, okay?"

"Busy for maintenance."

"It's time for maintenance and repair. I use his car, not his people."

"What? Do it yourself?"

"Ah, you guys are too busy, so I'll do it myself."

"Pull it down. If you damage the car again, it will delay the spring planting."

Li Zhenguo pondered for a moment, "Let him work for you for two days. Is that enough?"

"It's up to him."

Li Zhenguo found Master Lin in the tractor parking lot.

Arrange the work.

Lu Changhua also followed.

He didn't say anything and handed over the cigarette first.

After Li Zhenguo finished explaining, he said to Master Lin: "Master Lin, are you not embarrassed?"

"Then why is it so difficult? It's just a few days' work."

He lit the cigarette, took a few puffs, and then asked: "Xiao Lu, other people are thinking of buying cows, how many don't you want to buy?"

"Me? I won't buy it yet."

"why?"

"Energy is limited, so do the things at hand first."

"That's right, the investment in the reservoir is so huge, we can't lose control of both ends!"

"Come on, hook up the plow and take the shovel with you. We have two jobs."

"Don't worry, let me refuel first. How much wasteland is there?"

"About ten acres, just go in and walk around twice and you're done."

"That's true."

Master Lin started the tractor, went to the oil depot to fill up with diesel, and then returned to mount the bulldozer and plow.

Lu Changhua left on his motorcycle first.

About half an hour after he arrived at the duty room, the roar of the tractor began.

Master Lin first unloaded the plow on the roadside of the duty room, and then went north at the invitation of Zhao Laosi.

The road was muddy, and the tractor chain rails threw all the mud on the roadside, rolling out the hard frozen soil.

Arrive at the designated location.

Zhao Laosi asked Master Lin to level the small slope.

At this time, the ground was covered with thin mud on top and frozen soil below. The tractor was spitting out black smoke and the engine was making a low roar.

The shovel scraped against the frozen soil, and a white mark was left on the ground.

There was no other way, so Master Lin pushed away soil from other places and filled the potholes.

I tried my best to push out a piece of flat land of four to five hundred square meters.

"How is it? Is it okay?"

Zhao Laosi looked at it and nodded, "Okay."

Master Lin then came to the duty room, removed the bulldozer, and hung a large plow behind his butt.

According to Lu Changhua's command, they plunged into the wasteland.

The plow depth is set to 30 cm.

But once inside, the plow ran away on the surface.

The plow can only eat a dozen centimeters, and the bottom is covered with frozen soil, so it can't be eaten at all.

"What's up?"

Master Lin looked at the four shallow ditches behind the car and frowned.

"Don't worry, we'll do it when the sun is shining at noon."

Master Lin looked at the sky and nodded.

"We can only try again at noon."

They immediately turned off the tractor and returned to the duty room.

They said they would do it at noon, but it was actually after [-] p.m.

The ice and snow are melting the most at this moment.

The two of them were bragging, chatting, smoking and drinking in the duty room.

Zhao Laosi has already placed the line on the flat ground.

The so-called laying out the line is to use hemp rope to pull out a horizontal and vertical shape on the ground, and use wooden sticks to stretch the rope.

The laborers will excavate the foundation according to the direction of these hemp ropes.

At this time, since there are no construction tools like excavators, we have to dig manually.

He laid the line.

Four men came carrying shovels and pickaxes.

This is what Zhao Laosi made an appointment with yesterday.

This is what laborers do.Seeing that the thread was set, he didn't say much, he spit a few mouthfuls in his hand, then stood in the thread, picked up the pickaxe and started digging.

The beginning is the most difficult. When you put the pickaxe down, there will be a small white dot. As long as this layer of frozen soil is peeled away, there will be soft soil underneath.

To do this kind of physical work, four people are divided into two shifts every five minutes.

The duty room here faces west and faces east, with the door opening on the east side.

It is designed according to four rooms, with the door opening in the middle. When you enter, you will find a large office with a fire wall; one room on the north side is a warehouse; two rooms on the south side, the one next to the office is a bedroom with a fire pit; and on the far south side is a small kitchen. There is a stove and stove.

The warehouse is 6 meters, the office is 8 meters, the bedroom is 6 meters, and the kitchen is 4 meters.

The total length from north to south is 24 meters, and the width from east to west is 6 meters.

The duty room here is not responsible for the storage and processing of feed, but only for feeding fish and patrolling, so it does not need to be too big.

At noon, Hu Dagui and Dahong Erhong brought lunch over in a trolley.

Zhao Laosi also came to the duty room with his laborers.

After having lunch and taking a rest, Zhao Laosi took the laborers to the construction site. Lu Changhua and Master Lin went to the wasteland again.

The snow in the wasteland has melted, and the pyramid of springs has disappeared.

The spring water flows into the reservoir along the ditch it created last year.Master Lin started the tractor and plowed the wasteland.

At this time, the plow can be about twenty centimeters into the soil.

It can barely turn over a layer of soil.

"is this okay?"

"Okay, slow down and try to flip it over."

In these more than ten acres of wasteland, the tractor was pulling and pulling, and the weeds, bushes and meadows on the ground were flipped upside down with a roar.

The wasteland that originally looked gray and yellow suddenly turned dark.

The tractor deliberately moved out of the way of springs and ditches.

In just one afternoon, this little work was completed.

"A heavy rake?"

"Yes, come tomorrow afternoon."

The two agreed to have sex tomorrow afternoon.

Master Lin went back with his stuff.

After an afternoon of hard work, the frozen soil layer at the base of the house was dug away.

They had to dig down all night, otherwise it would be freezing tomorrow morning.

When the dam and sluices were being built last year, wires were pulled through.

We have to do this again this year.

Several electric lights were on at the construction site.

These four people were steaming and sweating profusely.

Lu Changhua saw that it was difficult for them to complete the set tasks, so he had to call Hu Dagui and others to work together.

Zhao Laosi stretched out his hand.

With the participation of Lu Changhua and others, the excavation progress was much faster.

At around ten o'clock at night, the entire foundation had been dug.

The depth is about 1.2 meters.

In the evening, I had a late-night snack and then went back.

That night, Lu Changhua and Hu Dagui slept in the duty room.

It was a busy day, and Lu Changhua was very tired.

"Dagui, how much corn do you still have?"

"It's quick, a day or two at most."

"Well, hurry up."

Now that the weather is getting warmer, the corn will not be easy to thresh once it gets wet again.

Both of them slept deeply that night.

It was past seven o'clock when I opened my eyes.

Hu Dagui hurriedly got up to wash up, and then rushed to Lu's house. Lu Changhua also got up and tidied the house.

Dahong’s wife is here.

"Sister-in-law came early enough."

"It's getting late, it's almost 8 o'clock."

Lu Changhua nodded.

As soon as he went out, Zhao Laosi came with someone.

They need to do some more work on the foundation.

Lu Changhua went to the dam sluice and lifted the sluice up again.

This time the water flow was stronger.

The water level on the north side of the dam is already more than one meter.

Look at the white flowers.

The most indispensable thing in Banan Reservoir now is water.

At noon, the water and springs in the Xueshui River were rushing into it, and the water had already covered the ice.

Lu Changhua can't do it without letting go.

When he returned to the duty room, Dahong's wife was boiling water.

"Sister-in-law, I want to ask you something."

"What's the matter?"

"Do you know who raises geese?"

"What are you doing? Do you want to eat?"

"No, I want goose eggs and I want to hatch some big geese."

"The water here is large and there are many aquatic plants. It is a good place to raise geese. The goose droppings can also be fed to fish."

"I really know that Lao Yang's family in our branch raises more than a dozen geese. His family should have a lot of goose eggs."

"Old Yang's family?"

Lu Changhua remembered.

The Yang family lived behind the team headquarters. The old man used to drive a horse-drawn carriage, but after the horse-drawn carriage was eliminated, he started farming.

Does he have a big goose?
I have to check it out.

Raising geese has always been in Lu Changhua's plan, but he just hasn't made time for it.

In his previous life, he had raised geese and sold them for money.

He still has experience.

The goose is full of treasures.

Goose down and feathers can be sold for money. Needless to say, goose meat is also very valuable, not to mention goose eggs.

Even its dung fish can eat it.

But it doesn't eat fish.

Why not raise ducks?

Because ducks eat fish.

While he was talking to Dahong's wife about raising geese, a trumpet sounded outside.

When he went out to take a look, Lao Lu came pulling a cart of sand.

This is an essential material for building a house.

Lu Changhua waved his hand towards the north.

He kicked the accelerator and rushed north.

Lu Changhua also followed him to the north.

When the sand arrived, Zhao Laosi and the others unloaded the car.

"Lao Lu, please pull out thirty bags of cement first. If there is not enough, then pull out more."

"You two have to load the car, how can I do it alone?"

"Okay, you two go."

Zhao Laosi directed the two laborers to get into the car.

Lao Lu suddenly ran to pull cement again.

"Sift out the sand first."

The laborer set up the sieve and started sifting it spade by spade.

Lu Changhua walked up to him, handed Zhao Laosi a cigarette, struck a match and lit it.

"Master Zhao, when will the carpenter come in?"

"Tell him the measurements and make it at home. Once it's done, it's too late to go to the store."

"Okay, can you arrange it directly with the carpenter?"

"also."

Zhao Laosi is equivalent to a contractor. He doesn't want his master to interfere in everything.

"Then you make arrangements, I don't care."

Lu Changhua walked up to the two men who were sifting the sand again, each of them blew a cigarette, then he said thank you for your hard work and left.

He thought about going to Lao Yang's house.
