Chapter 216: Preparation

Xiaoxi sat in the living room with a cloth bag, watching TV boredly, Old Man Chen and they had already gone to the store, and only the three of them were at home.

Xiaoxi turned his head and shouted to the bathroom, "Are you two alright? ”

There are still a few days left before school, and Xiaoxi plans to plant flowers, so they are going to dig in the mountains today.

If Zhao Juan hadn't been here, Xiaoxi wouldn't have gone digging the soil, but she was in a hurry, she couldn't wait, and there would be a few days before she left school.

It was eight o'clock in the morning, and the two guys, who were struggling, were still in the bathroom at half past eight and didn't come out.

"It's coming, it's coming. Chen Yubin wiped the water stains from his mouth with his hands and ran out of the bathroom. followed by Zhao Juan, running out while tying her hair.

"Let's go, then. With that, Xiaoxi got up, turned off the TV, and walked outside.

Although it was already past eight o'clock, the three of them still had to go to eat a bowl of rice and then go up the mountain to dig the soil.

"Wow, the sun is so big. When she came out of eating, Zhao Juan raised her hand above her eyes and said in surprise.

"What do you say? It's half past eight when you go out. Xiaoxi glanced at her angrily.

"Hehe......" Zhao Juan smiled embarrassedly. She didn't mean it, besides, can you blame her for not opening her eyes?

Chen Yubin didn't say much on the side, and hurried intently, because he knew that if he was not careful, he would get angry, so it was better to say less.

They had discussed it last night, and today they would go to Tazi Mountain to dig the soil, where there are many trees, and the soil below must be fertile.

By the time they reached the woods halfway up the mountain, the three of them were already panting and sweating profusely, so they sat down to rest. Xiaoxi took out three bottles of water from the bag he was carrying, one for each person.

There is a path from the woods to the tower above, but it is very difficult to walk, but if they don't go up today, they just dig some earth in the woods below.

The forest hasn't been cut down for years, so it's luxuriant. To tell the truth, if Xiaoxi had come alone, she would have been scared.

There was a thick layer of branches and leaves under the trees, and when the branches and leaves were peeled off, the soil underneath was black.

The tools were given to them, and the three of them worked hard.

The tool they use today to dig the soil is the same knife they used to dig up the roots of their ears at home. The knife is relatively small, so it takes a lot of time.

The soil is fertile, so there are more insects, such as earthworms, ants or something, and there is a kind of bug, I don't know what the name of the creek is, anyway, it looks very disgusting, it looks white and fat, and it is crawling in the soil.

Although she is disgusted by these bugs, she is not afraid, just find something and pick it up.

After all, the three of them grew up in the countryside, and there were no accidents, and they filled their cloth bags with soil in twenty minutes.

After sitting for a while, Xiaoxi carried the bag, and the two carried the bag to the house. She didn't dare to hold it, for fear that ants or insects would crawl out and get into her clothes.

Panting, he climbed up to the seventh floor, poured out all the dirt, and spread it out on the cement slab. After washing her hands and face and changing her clothes, Xiaoxi collapsed on the sofa tiredly.

His eyes were straight, grandpa was right, climbing the stairs was really a good exercise.

After lunch at noon, at Xiaoxi's request, Boss Chen didn't take a nap today and followed them back.

One person climbed up to the seventh floor with several one-centimeter-thick planks in his arms.

Putting down a few pieces of wood in her hand, Granny Chen couldn't hold on anymore and went back to her room to rest. She was so tired that she did her best to help move these pieces of wood, and she couldn't help anything else.

Boss Chen gathered all the timber on the balcony and went back to the house to get a tool kit.

Jingle sound, and when you hear it, there are a lot of things inside. When I opened it, sure enough, there were small saws, small axes, two hammers (that is, nail hammers), pliers, screwdrivers, various nails, etc., quite complete, full of a tool kit.

Boss Chen and Old Man Chen were on the side, one sawing wood and the other nailing the board, and the three little ones had nothing to do at this time. Xiaoxi and Zhao Juan sat in the room watching TV, while Chen Yubin squatted beside Old Man Chen and them with great interest, watching them do woodwork, and occasionally helping to hand over something.

During this time, the brook went out to look at the soil drying in the stall, and it was all dried. I checked it again, and there were indeed no bugs in it, so I received all the dirt.

Then, with the help of Old Man Chen's cover, he took out two bags of black soil from the space. Although the soil they picked in the morning was very fertile, it was not as fertile as the soil in the upper space.

After stirring the two parts of dirt evenly, the brook did not enter the house, and sat in the shade beside it. Their wooden frames were almost nailed, and they would go into the house when they had all this to be cleaned up, so as not to get everywhere.

"Xiaoxi, come and see, what's going on?" After nailing the wooden board in his hand, Boss Chen tried it to be very strong, and waved to Xiaoxi with a smile.

As soon as he heard that it was done, Xiaoxi instantly bounced up from the small bench, "I'll take a look." ”

I saw a wooden frame on the ground that was three meters long and forty centimeters wide, without upper and lower sides.

She was very satisfied with this, and gave Old Man Chen and Boss Chen a thumbs up, "Great, you guys did a good job." ”

"Haha......" The two of them smiled proudly.

"Master, you go in and drink some water and rest, and Binbin and I will get the rest. ”

"Hmm. "All that's left is to put the soil in, there is no heavy work, they can do it, and Old Man Chen didn't refuse. and Boss Chen lifted the wooden frame to the side, placed it next to the wall, and went back to the house.

"Binbin, come, let's get the dirt in. ”

"Hmm. ”

"Creek, I'm coming. Zhao Juan heard that the creek was filled with soil outside, so she ran out in a hurry.

The three of them worked together to put the dirt on the ground into the wooden frame, and looked at the little dirt left on the ground, which was not enough, so the stream took some dirt out of the space and poured it into the wooden frame.

Fortunately, she was standing in the corner, with Chen Yubin in the middle, and Zhao Juan was seriously transporting soil, so she didn't find it.

Zhao Juan looked at the soil that was higher than the wooden frame, and said worriedly: "Xiaoxi, this soil is too much, right?"

Brook shook her head, "No, the soil is still relatively loose, and after a few waters, it will collapse." ”

"Oh. Zhao Juan looked like she understood and nodded.

The brook went to the sanitation and poured water on all the earth, and the three of them cleaned up the ground before returning to the house.

Later, because the soil in the corner was all the soil in the space, so the flowers and plants in that area rose very well, and after Granny Chen found out, she pulled out all the flowers and plants in that piece to the creek and planted onions, garlic and coriander, which also made the creek a little crying and laughing.
