Chapter 40: 150 pits
Grandpa Mai lay beside Xiao Baozi, quietly listening to the breathing of his family, and his heart was extremely calm.
He must grow rice! He never wanted to be a parts worker who was trampled under his feet again.
That woman... Don't think about disturbing their lives!
Grandpa Mai's whole person fell silent, but his heart became extremely strong! He must have grown rice! If Grandpa Mai only confirmed his determination last night, but this will be confident!
People are so strange, when something happens on a special occasion and a special time, it can achieve unexpected accidents.
Before yesterday, Grandpa Mai was an ordinary worker, but today he turned on another road.
Without any preparation, just turning the corner, no one knows what will happen in the future? Because the road in front of you is dark, you can only know when you walk past it.
……
"Grandpa dug it this night," Maizi looked at the neat pit in front of him, and the machine had already filled the pit with the cut grass.
"Well, the grass is almost finished, we'll go back when we've compacted and put the water in place," Grandpa Mai stood there confidently, answering Maizi's question.
Grandpa Mai felt that he had never been so confident when he graduated!
These 150 pits are the trump card in his hand! He is not in a hurry now, and the road is going step by step. Someday, he'll make those people look up to him! But not now.
"Grandpa, since you're here, let's put up the water pipes, the amount of water needed in the rice field is not ordinary" Maizi looked at the busy scene of the machine, and felt like she was an idler.
"Okay, grandpa has picked a good place in the morning" Grandpa Mai directly picked up Maizi, put it in the car that Grandma Mai drove when she came, and drove towards the place he had picked.
"Grandpa, why is he here?" Maizi looked at the unfamiliar surroundings around her, "It's too far away from home, isn't it?" She couldn't figure out which direction it was.
"Hehe, here there are two hills on both sides of the river, and the landform forms a natural reservoir. Grandpa has built a dam in the past few days to make this a small reservoir" Grandpa Mai pointed to the river in front of him and said, "Here, this river is just a tributary, and the water reserve is not very large, so build a dam to facilitate irrigation." ”
"Grandpa, that costs a lot of money, right?" Maizi looked at the river so wide, but Grandpa Mai said that the amount of water was not large.
"No, there is a lot of waste metal on the garbage mountain behind our house, and you can use it after processing," Grandpa Mai said confidently.
"Then grandpa, can you do it alone? Don't invite someone? Thinking about such a large amount of work, Maizi really felt that in order to irrigate the rice fields, there was no need to make a special reservoir like this.
Just pump the water from the river over, isn't it? Why do you have to go through so much trouble for Mao?
I remember when my grandmother was watering the ground at home, she used to get a small pump to pump water from the canal, which was really convenient and simple.
But looking at Grandpa Mai's confident appearance, Maizi shut up. Because she just thought of the large piece of land opened by Grandpa Mai, she couldn't see the end.
Although there are not so many seeds, it does not hinder Grandpa Mai's determination to turn them into paddy fields.
The climate here is still unclear, so what if the weather gets drier and drier? Or get a reservoir safety point.
"You don't need to hire someone, we have a machine" Grandpa Mai didn't find Maizi's statement strange.
Even if you 'invite someone' here, you have to be able to find someone to ask you to invite. Other planets are too far away, and no one will want to come even with high wages.
"Don't worry, those machines will get these quickly, and they will be done in less than 2 days" Grandpa Mai said this, and he wanted to go back immediately.
Although there are machines, there are many things that he still needs to do.
"Let's go, find your grandma, let's go home together, this should be over there" Grandpa Mai picked up Maizi directly and sat down in the car.
"Pack our things and we'll go back. When I have time later, I will come out and continue camping," Grandpa Mai commanded directly.
"Good!" Grandma Mai actually didn't sleep well last night, and she always felt that sleeping outside was not as comfortable as at home.
Maizi watched the 150 big pits get farther and farther away from her like this, and she didn't know what the use of those soaked fibers was? Grandpa Mai is so generous that people can't think about it.
"Grandparents, this place will be called '150 pits' in the future, right?" Maizi felt that the name was a good mark on the location.
"Okay, it's up to you to name everything in our territory," Grandpa Mai said.
After lunch, Maizi got up to see her nursery, and felt that the sun was a little hot at noon, so she ran to pick up some grass and cover it with a thin layer to shade her.
In my previous life, when I raised seedlings with my grandmother, it was spring, and what I needed was heat preservation when the sun was not shining. It looks much warmer than in spring, but it's not as hot as in summer, so you can adjust it appropriately.
"How is a year counted here?" Maizi clicked on the star network, inquired, and wanted to budget the growth cycle of rice. Is it a double crop a year? Or is it three crops? Or can you only plant one crop?
"Mao~ I can't find anything," Maizi was depressed. You said that the technology here is quite developed, and no one pays attention to the climate here? What have all the people done?
What a chaotic world, huh? I remember the neighboring country Y in my previous life, which was chaotic, but no matter how chaotic the climate was, I could find out everything, including the changes in the weather throughout the year.
You can't just plant the rice and it's still green, and then suddenly winter comes, right? It's so sad~
Maizi patted his head, Ya's brain was wide open and he had to think about the good, the crow's mouth was far away from here!
Maizi resigned himself to recording today's weather conditions, although it does not work, but it may be useful in a few years. It's better to rely on others than on yourself!
Maizi can only think of this stupid way.
"Dizzy, just say that it is not pleasing to the eye to look at this land, it turns out that there is a lack of water channel, and it is easy to say that the water is in, but when the rice is about to ripen, it is necessary to release water" The wheat walked around the square field for a long time.
"Goo-do-du-du-du" Maizi drank a large glass of water before going to find Grandpa Mai.
"Grandpa, your field doesn't have a water outlet" Mai Zi looked at Grandpa Mai and didn't know what to look for, bending down under his workbench.
"Well, good grandpa knows, girl, go take a nap" Grandpa Mai agreed casually, he didn't care about what Maizi said at all. Even if he heard it, he wondered why there was a water outlet in the field.
Grandpa Mai's mind is all about how to design the dam.
For him, who was born in the machining industry, that is a small meaning. It's just that I haven't had much contact with it since I graduated from school, and my hands are a little raw.
After graduating, he has been doing machining of mechanical parts, and he has practiced designing an overall dam project once in school.
Maizi watched Grandpa Mai throw all her thoughts on finding something, and she turned around and left lightly.
Forget it, I haven't started planting yet, and I'll talk about it then, anyway, the interval between each plot of land is quite large.
Maizi clicked on the daily record table and wrote: The canal is suspended.
Maizi watched Grandma Mai and Xiaobaozi take a nap, and she didn't bother. She walked around the house for a long time and couldn't find a hat, so she could only come out against the sun. Forget it, it's all wheat-colored skin anyway, and that's it for another tan.
Maizi walked slowly towards the garbage mountain behind her, she really didn't know what to do. It is still early to irrigate the fields, and it is enough to irrigate when the seedlings come out.
Later, I will go down to other places, and I have been picking up garbage in one place, and I haven't found any good things, they are all metal bumps, and she can't move them when she's small.
