Carry a fountain with you

Chapter 55 Winter Vegetables
Due to the large number of people and the fact that the foundation was not dug very deep, it took them only one day to dig the trench, and then Liu Guangju came forward to contact the quarry in Dawangzhuang to send several carts of rubble.

There are abundant stone materials around Daqing Mountain, and it was difficult to bring in cement outside the mountain before, so rubble is generally used when laying the foundation.Although the rough stone looks rough, it is very strong. If the foundation is laid well, it is not uncommon for the house to fail for decades.Take the warehouses Liu Junhao lives in as an example. They have a history of 30 to [-] years, but up to now there is not even a crack.

Professor Zhao originally wanted to use cement as the foundation, but after hearing that the cement was too humid in summer, he switched to rubble.

The rough stones I got this time are all big and square, which is just right for the foundation.Of course, a ceremony was held when laying the foundation, in order to make the house strong and life safe.

After the foundation was laid, the walls began to be built. These red bricks were pulled in from outside the town. The price was relatively expensive, but they looked beautiful and were much stronger than the green bricks fired in the town.

Although the masons in the village were not up to the mark, they were still capable of building a wall. It took only two days to build the wall. Then Professor Zhao entrusted Liu Guangju to the town to buy some good wood and put the beams together. , began to fan the tiles.

Of course, Shangliang is a big event in the countryside. It depends on a good day, usually on the third, sixth or ninth day of the lunar calendar, which is generally recognized as a good day.

Although Professor Zhao didn't believe it, he did as the Romans did, and under Liu Junhao's guidance, he had already prepared everything.In fact, this thing is not superstitious, it's just a celebration, and Zhang Qian deliberately waited early that day with her mobile phone, ready to take pictures of the whole process.

It is also a rule that the time for raising the beam should be before 12 noon.

Amidst the sound of crackling firecrackers, the class leader put some coins, dime notes, peanuts, walnuts, etc. in a big basket, and stood on the girder and threw them downwards. , running mules and horses in front of and behind the house," "one east, one west, a small nest for children and wives..."

This is also the happiest time for children, picking up coins, peanuts, and walnuts around the house.At this time, Professor Zhao was busy giving out red envelopes to those who came to help, and handing out happy candies to those who joined in the fun.

It took a total of eight days, and five big houses stood at the head of the village. The newly built houses looked festive, but they were still uninhabitable at this time. They needed to be baked with firewood every few days to make the houses The moisture inside dries.

Watching the people in the village start to grow vegetables for winter, Liu Junhao also sorted out the large area in the backyard, and then went to the village to buy some garlic cloves and Shanghai green seeds to plant on the ground.

Professor Zhao saw that he had only a few vegetables, so he went to the town to buy some potatoes, radish seeds, etc. Anyway, he bought some vegetables that could be grown in autumn.

Although the planting time is a little late, these vegetables look very good under the water of the spring water.Especially the potato seedlings, which have grown to more than 20 centimeters in a blink of an eye, are very green and strong.When Liu Junhao saw them, he was already thinking about braised pork and stewed potatoes, which would definitely taste good in winter.

"Well, what's wrong with these garlic sprouts?" When he moved his eyes to the garlic sprout field, he saw that each of them had their heads drooping and were covered with scars.Looking to the side again, I found the culprit. It turned out to be the large group of hens that I raised.

At this time, there are no insects to eat in the field, so the group of chickens stopped running to the wild, and they all picked up garlic sprouts in the yard to eat. Although Liu Junhao specially built a fence, the chickens can fly if they can’t hold it .

Seeing the large piece of garlic seedlings being pecked in such a bad shape, he was a little worried, should he put all these hens in the cage, and then scatter them out in the spring, otherwise, he would be busy for a long time if he allowed them to do such harm. , In the end, I couldn't even eat a garlic sprout.

Liu Junhao was thinking about it by the edge of the vegetable field, but he heard someone shouting at the gate.He thought it was those brats coming again, so he didn't pay attention.

These brats have nothing else to do now, except to play computer games.Since the computer was moved to Liu Junhao's house, he hadn't played it a few times, but these children stayed in the yard almost every day, and every time it was meal time, the adults of each family dragged them back with their ears.

In fact, not only children, but even adults come here every now and then to look at the strange things. Although they can’t access the Internet, this thing is still relatively attractive to the villagers. Many people go up to practice it in person, pretending to pat Case, listen to the fans spin, then let out a few exclamations.

The funniest thing is the old bull head. He tapped the screen a few times with a dry tobacco and said: "Foreigners can do it. I heard that this thing can plow the land. We won't need cattle next spring."

This made Liu Junhao terrified watching from the sidelines. He was afraid that he would break the monitor, but he was too embarrassed to step forward to stop it.

After a month, the readings of the electric meter "swish" went up, but for Liu Junhao, this was a small amount of money.The electricity bill in the countryside is cheap, just over 40 cents per kilowatt-hour, and only [-] yuan a month, which is enough to sell two catties of eel, so he doesn't care, and lets these brats come and play.

This computer is not so attractive to Liu Junhao. In his free time, he spends time typing, playing games, and reading novels.

It should be said that Zhao Weidong's considerations were relatively comprehensive at the beginning. He downloaded a lot of things and stored them in the computer, especially a dozen hard disk games.

Sometimes Zhang Qian also comes over to play, but she doesn't play for a long time each time. She usually transfers the pictures on her mobile phone to the computer and saves them, or she just copies some novels to read on her mobile phone.

Unexpectedly, the people in the yard waited for 2 minutes without seeing the owner come out, and then yelled at the top of their voices. Only then did Liu Junhao clearly hear that it was Zheng Jianxue, a recent frequent visitor to the village, and his girlfriend.

Zheng Jianxue works as a technician in an enterprise in the city. After visiting Liujiagou with a group of friends on the eleventh day, he fell in love with it. He even rented a piece of land on the river beach to grow vegetables, and passed on the vegetables he grew. Entertain yourself in your own space.

It just so happened that he had a blind date under the auspices of his parents that day. He was quite satisfied with the girl, and left his mobile phone number and QQ when he left.But after waiting for a few days, no one contacted him. Just when Zheng Jianxue thought there was nothing going on, the girl suddenly sent him a message on QQ, asking about the photos in his space.

Zheng Jianxue continued to talk about this topic, and the more they chatted, the more speculative they became.When she learned that he still had a vegetable field of her own in the countryside, the girl was even more curious, saying that she still didn't know how vegetables were grown, and she also wanted to be a weekend farmer in the countryside.

Zheng Jianxue would be a fool if he didn't know to seize such a good opportunity, so he kept encouraging the girls to visit the vegetable fields with him on weekends and live a healthy and relaxed pastoral life.

The girl thought about it for a while, and finally agreed. When she came to Zheng Jianxue's vegetable field, she felt very novel and wanted to try everything, so Zheng Jianxue taught her how to furrow, water, and seal the soil.

As a result, after half a day's work, he didn't expect that the girl's affection for him would increase greatly, and she discussed going to his field to grow vegetables next weekend.

So after several times in a row, the two of them confirmed their relationship, and this place became their weekend date place.

Both of them are very grateful for the "matchmaker" of the vegetable field, and they specially placed a sign on the side of their plot called "Lovers Field". Song "You farm and I weave, I carry water and you water the garden..."
