Chapter 255: The Quarry
The members of the club prevented that the chicken plague did not occur in the end, but the hens may have been stared at by too many eyes, and the amount of eggs laid was a lot less, and the people in charge were a little crying and laughing.
And the chicken plague, Qiao Jiayue also found out, the blessing is invalid, I don't know if it's because it won't happen, or because the object is an animal.
She felt that there was still a lot to ponder about this system, but she didn't know what to do, so she could only put it aside.
After the beginning of summer, a piece of lush, early planted vegetables can already be eaten, water spinach, red amaranth, after eating a stubble and then grow a stubble.
Beans, pumpkins, winter melons and other climbing vines grow very quickly, and it is too late to build a shelf.
Qiao Jiayue planted a few pumpkins on the edge of the pigsty, guiding the pumpkin vine to climb the pigsty, and when it was summer, the pumpkin could shade the pigsty, and the pumpkins that grew could also be fully exposed to the sun.
They are actually learning very easily now, the school is too shallow, and they have learned a long way.
Qiao Jiayue was the first student of Gaoshan Primary School, but Bai Meilan later readjusted the grade and curriculum, so by June this year, Qiao Hongzhi and Qiao Hongyuan became the first graduates.
And Qiao Jiayue and Qiao Hongliang, until September this year, are only fifth-grade students, during this period, because Bai Meilan has adjusted the grade, they are equivalent to repeating the grade for a year.
Fortunately, Qiao Jiayue doesn't care, she is still young, and this year's graduating class is all older, after all, junior high school is different from elementary school.
However, speaking of which, the junior high school is now building a good infrastructure, and a large part of the bricks fired by the brick kiln are sent here.
And for various reasons, the progress of the school is relatively slow, after all, it is assumed that during the period, there are Chinese New Year, spring ploughing, and some large groups of people are not ready to arrive.
In short, this middle school is a bit bad during the construction process, and it is all caused by other brigades, but Qiao Yibing is very concerned about this matter, and Qiao's father is happy not to worry about it.
Because of the limited technology, the junior high school built are all tile houses, and the buildings are currently not even thought about, the cost is too high, and the steel bars alone are a headache.
There are definitely fewer students in junior high school than in elementary school, but they can't stand several brigades, and there are a lot of people cumulatively.
So for the time being, it is planned to build 10 rooms, three classes for each grade, a teacher's office, and a dormitory.
The dormitory is as big as a classroom, with five rooms and many beds, after all, some students have to go to school.
Qiao Hongzhi often runs over there, and when he comes back, he will report on the progress.
"Those people are too slow to work, they are grinders, and if anyone in our team dares to do this, they really have to drink the northwest wind. ”
Qiao Hongzhi complained to Qiao's father that he was still looking forward to junior high school.
Father Qiao shook his head with a smile, "You have to get used to it, other brigades are like that now, every day of delay will give you one more day, who wants to have no work early?"
"Finish this work early, there's more work!" Qiao Hongzhi muttered, "I really don't know what those people are thinking in their heads." ”
"Abba, do you want to make cement on the ground in junior high school?" Recently, the brigade was discussing the matter of drying the dam, and Qiao Hongzhi was interested.
Drying rice every year is a hard job, after all, there are not many stones and bricks on the ground.
Therefore, when it is urgent, the rice is directly spread on the ground to dry, and after it is dried, the dust is raised and the gravel is sifted off.
Therefore, rice often contains gravel, which is also a more depressing thing.
"It depends. "If the budget is sufficient, the middle school should lay a concrete floor, Qiao's father didn't elaborate, this matter has not yet been seen.
This is to pave the dam, cement alone is not enough, then the stone is a big problem.
Although the creek is good, it is not suitable for a quarry, and the best thing to do is to find a place to open the mountain and blast the rocks.
In response to this matter, the brigade headquarters discussed for a long time and finally chose a relatively remote place.
After pondering for a while, I finally found it on a mountain in the second team, and agreed that it was the best place, some distance from the village, and the quality of the stone was good, which was just right.
If the quarry is too close to the village, you are afraid that when you blow up the stones, the broken stones will fly and hit people.
When you open a quarry, you can dig stones, mix crushed stones with cement and sand, and now the ground is covered with a layer and then plastered, and it is very strong.
The dam is also very important, and the four teams have decided to build the dam before the summer harvest.
The Takayama Brigade is doing things now, but it will only drag on for ten days and half a month, and once it is decided, everything will begin to be prepared.
There were special people who went to the commune to buy explosives, detonators, and so on, and in addition, they had to purchase special tools for digging stones, such as hammers and steel drills.
Bai Ruosheng and Li A also attached great importance to this matter, and followed the members to the site to inspect and point out the key points to pay attention to in opening the mountain and blasting stones.
The mountain is rich in stones, with little vegetation, and the dirt on the surface is scraped away to reveal the hard stones underneath.
This is not the kind of loose stone, the kind of stone that is not strong, and it should never be used as building materials.
The second team contributed to the mountain, and accordingly, they had to be compensated, and there needs to be a reasonable arrangement for the distribution of benefits and work in the quarry.
Father Qiao didn't care about this, he wasn't greedy for the interests of the quarry.
However, in order to ensure safety, Qiao's father asked the people in the quarry to be equipped with safety helmets, and when blowing stones, it is best to choose the time when there are the least people outside, and the whole village must be notified by loudspeakers.
After all, this is a very dangerous matter, and if it is not handled properly, something will definitely happen.
Quarries can damage the environment and cause landslides, but these are inevitable and can only be remedied in the future.
After two blastings, the quarry finally collapsed large pieces of stones, some large and small, and processed into small pieces of stones with tools such as hammers and steel drills.
Since then, the daily work of the whole brigade, regardless of whether they are men, women or children, is to smash the stones transported by the tractor, then spread them evenly on the ground, pour concrete again, and when they are dry, they will be plastered with another layer, and the dam will be done.
A good dam can be used for decades, as long as there are not many cracks, it does not affect the use.
Moreover, this cement dam is much better than the red brick dam, there are almost no gaps, and when drying rice, you don't have to worry about the rice falling into the brick cracks and not being able to sweep out.
When there are no tools, it can only be done manually.
Fortunately, there were many people with great strength, and they rushed to and fro, and finally made a few drying dams before the summer harvest.
In this regard, the members of the club are extremely satisfied, and after waiting for another two years, they will also make a sun dam at the door of their own house, and it would be great if the house can also be paved with cement floors.
With the tractor and the dam, plus the thresher on the pedal, this summer harvest can be said to be half the effort, and the members feel very relaxed, and the smiles on their faces have increased instead of decreasing.
