Era: Starting from cave dwellings in northern Shaanxi

Chapter 78 Borrowing your life for three years?

Drawing lots into groups was actually very quick. There were only forty-eight people in total, plus the two team leaders, there were exactly fifty young and strong laborers.

After they were divided into groups, there was nothing to talk about. The group leader rolled up his sleeves and started working with the members.

Although the two groups were not divided into separate groups, there were obvious signs of differences.

Moreover, it is definitely not a small project to reclaim the black land under the entire Chagouzi.

Even if we calculate based on 72 acres of land and dig down 3.4 centimeters, this is almost [-] cubic meters.

But in fact, it will only be more, not less.

Of course, if you use a medium-sized excavator, you can basically dig two thousand square meters of earth every day.

Here is 3.4 cubic meters, which is [-] days of work.

But nowadays, let alone Shuangshuiwan, even the company does not have such a thing, and can only rely on manual labor.

If you work hard, you won't be able to dig much soil in a day.

But the third team, originally selected young and strong laborers, had just been encouraged by Sun Xiangyang, and now it was like taking a shot of chicken blood, and they worked hard.

Even if there are some stones mixed in the soil, a young and strong laborer can dig twenty square meters of soil in one day.

Of course, this is different from digging a hole on flat ground and then shoveling it out, because you only need to dig out a piece of flat ground first, and after there is a half-meter drop, you can use a pickaxe or a shovel to dig out the rest. The speed is It will also speed up a lot.

There are a total of 69 people in the three teams, so count.

Lie down!

Can it be completed in a month?
  But in fact, that's not how the accounts are calculated at all.

Let's not talk about people like Sun Xiangyang, Sun Enguang is in charge of command, and Professor Qian and his wife are not suitable for heavy work. They just help boil water and do odd jobs every day.

The women's group is basically only responsible for loading and pulling the cars.

The young and strong labor team also assigned people to push carts and transport the soil far away. Even the further back, the farther the soil was transported.

Therefore, compared with digging out the soil, transporting it will waste more time and manpower.

Moreover, the terrain of Chagouzi is long and narrow, with an average width of only twenty or thirty meters. As the land continues to be reclaimed, the distance for soil transportation will continue to lengthen.

You can't dig your front foot out and just fall back, right?

Wouldn’t the black land that had just been dug out be buried again?

Therefore, the soil must be transported far away from the black land.

Coupled with this kind of strenuous work, there is no guarantee that you can fill your stomach every day. Over time, no matter how hard you work, you will be exhausted.

Therefore, the progress of subsequent work will continue to decrease.

Also, it is already mid-September of the lunar calendar, and when the weather gets colder and starts to freeze, it will be even more difficult.

It is precisely because of this that Sun Xiangyang shouted the slogan of working hard for [-] days.

Of course, when winter comes, the first and second teams who are free will definitely come to help.

In this way, one hundred days is almost enough time to reclaim all this land before the New Year. At the same time, there will be a few snows during the New Year period to completely cover the black land.

When the snow melts next year, the land will be completely ready for growing food.

"Captain, are you just starting to do this?"

Sun Jiangang hesitated for a while, then approached Sun Xiangyang and asked softly.

"if not?"

“Isn’t there something special about breaking ground?
  Why don't you do something to help us successfully reclaim the land? "

Sun Jiangang said instinctively.

"Well, how about I lend you ten years of your life and then do it for me?"

Hearing this, Sun Jiangang's eyes widened suddenly.

Ten years of life? Although he is only seventeen years old, isn't ten years too much?

"Captain, how about three years?"

"Are you serious?"

Sun Xiangyang looked at him in surprise.

"Of course, ten years is a bit too much, but three years, I can still get it out if I grit my teeth. Wouldn't it be like dying three years early? It's enough for me to live to 77, and you can take the rest.

But if I borrow three years of my life, can my temporary job be turned into a full-time job? "

Sun Jiangang kept telling his true purpose.

He originally thought that his job as a clerk and accountant was a sure thing, and he even boasted to his former friends yesterday, but he didn't expect that today it would become temporary.

If it was just him, he might have some opinions, but the company captain himself and others, including the captain's mother, were all temporary, so what else could he say?
  Even he could understand the captain's intention.

But his own family knew about his family affairs. Although he had a biological father at home who could rely on him, it was not that easy to get the approval of most people.

So after hearing that I could lend my life, I had an idea.

If he sacrificed his three years of life to bless everyone's reclamation smoothly, wouldn't everyone be grateful to him?
  If you don't choose him then, who will you choose?

At Sun Jiangang's age, face is more important than anything else, and in his understanding, reducing his life span by three years means that he could only live to 80 years old after originally being able to live to 77 years old.

So in his opinion, it was nothing at all.

When he reaches seventy or eighty, there are still several decades left, and he will not feel anything at all, so he might as well take care of the present.

After all, this is the only opportunity he has had to feel proud of since he was so old.

If he fails to gain the approval of most people in the end and fails, let alone his family, he will never be able to raise his head in front of his friends from now on.

After finishing speaking, Sun Jiangang looked at Sun Xiangyang with expectant eyes, wishing that the other party would agree immediately.

"Get out of here right away. If you let me see you wandering around without working again, believe it or not, I'll kick you out of the third team?"

Sun Xiangyang glared at Sun Jiangang angrily, not knowing what this guy was thinking.

Not to mention that he didn't have this ability, even if he did, he wouldn't be able to use it on Sun Jiangang.

After all, who knows if something unexpected will happen to the other party in the future?
  If he is unlucky and dies young, doesn't it mean that all the responsibility lies with him?
  "Then borrow your life..."

Sun Jiangang was obviously still unwilling to give up.

"roll!"

Seeing Sun Xiangyang about to kick him, Sun Jiangang didn't dare to cheat anymore and ran away quickly.

For the entire morning that followed, Sun Xiangyang and Sun Enguang wandered around Chagouzi, discussing how to open up the land. There was no need for supervision on the other side, and everyone worked hard consciously.

Although the two teams have not convinced their team leaders yet, the team leader has spoken first. Even during the internship, he is still the team leader and must obey the orders honestly.

Therefore, Zhao Fugui and Sun Qingbo set an example and worked hardest at this time.

In comparison, the women's group is much simpler.

Because Sun Xiangyang spent 100 experience points to truly gain recognition, what she said must be more effective.

After having dinner at home at noon, Zhang didn't even bother to clear away the sweet-scented osmanthus bowl. He rolled up his sleeves and left in a hurry.

In this regard, Sun Xiangyang did not dissuade him.

His mother is probably in high spirits now, and she also wants to set an example and not embarrass her son, so she plans to go ahead and do it first.

In fact, Zhang Guihua is definitely not the only one who thinks this way.

On the contrary, Sun Xiangyang was not very active. After eating, he even squinted for a while before coming to Chagouzi.

When he came, what he saw was still a lively scene.

It wasn't until the afternoon when the old branch secretary came back from the club with a solemn look on his face that he called Sun Xiangyang away.
