Chapter 86: Replanning the Yard (Asking for Flowers)

Officials, cast the flowers in your hands, and let's blow up the chrysanthemums of the one in front of us!

After the house was repaired, the toilet and bathroom were rebuilt in the backyard. Zhang Taiping also paid for the backyard wall to be built with bricks, the wall was built mainly for safety reasons, there were only three people in the family, and the yard was too close to the mountain, naturally a little far away from other houses, the nearest one was nearly 100 meters away. In the future, I will definitely go out often, leaving the mother and daughter at home is not at ease, and there is a sheep tied in the backyard, and once something happens, there is no one to help. So it would be safer to build a wall.

Two gates open in the wall, one leading to the orchard in the back valley and the other to the south. Zhang Taiping plans to buy a few acres of land in the south of the yard and dig a small pond to raise some fish and lotus flowers, so that this gate can be connected to the pond.

In the next few days, Zhang Taiping began to replan his backyard.

It's a bit wasteful to plant vegetables in such a backyard, and he wants to tidy up the yard in a way that makes people feel comfortable to look at.

The first is to dig two vines from the orchard and plant them in the backyard, although the orchard is full of trees, but after all, they are not in the yard, and they have to run to the garden when they want to eat. It is much more convenient to plant two in the yard, and think about how enjoyable it is to take a rattan chair and sit under the vines in the summer, take a break in the shade, and pick a bunch of grapes with your eyes and squint your eyes to savor it in the summer.

A bamboo pole was built on top of the vine. If the vines are planted in a group in the orchard, of course, it is better to be shorter, but when there are only one or two vines in the yard, they will definitely grow much larger than those in the orchard, and the vines need to grow longer, so you can't just string them with wire as in the orchard, but you have to build a scaffolding for the vines to climb. When the time comes, the clusters of sparkling grapes hang down after fruiting is also a sight, and it is still a good place to enjoy the shade under the grape trellis.

Then a circle of fruit trees of different varieties was planted along the fence, and a cement shelf was built in the middle of the yard, and some melons and fruits were planted in the yard at that time, so that the vines could climb on the shelf to cover a shade, which was also a good place to drink tea and chat in summer.

During this period, Cai Yazhi occasionally came in to help, but she was very puzzled by what Zhang Taiping did, Zhang Taiping explained: "The yard is a place to live, how good it is to take care of it, vegetables can be grown there, there is no need to plant them in the yard." The yard was full of vegetables, and there was no place for anyone to put their feet down. ”

In Cai Yazhi's concept, it is a pity that such a large yard is empty, but it is really convenient and affordable to grow vegetables.

Zhang Taiping cleared all the vegetables on the place to be used, Cai Yazhi was distressed when she watched it from the side, and finally couldn't help but ask Zhang Taiping what he was doing?

"I'm going to bring a piece of water to the yard and plant some lotus flowers."

Cai Yazhi was even more puzzled by this, how could water be brought in from the yard?

Zhang Taiping didn't explain, and told her what he was going to do with his actions. Cai Yazhi gave the vegetables that she couldn't eat at home and couldn't store for a long time to a few people who usually took good care of her. After coming back, Zhang Taiping had already drawn a line on the ground with lime, and then called Wang Peng for help, and the two began to dig a ditch one meter wide and one meter five deep around the cement shelf erected along the line.

Cai Yazhi didn't understand what Zhang Taiping meant, and even had some worry in her eyes, but she still prepared water and food for Zhang Taiping on time and sufficiently.

Cai Yazhi didn't ask anymore, but the curious girl still kept asking: "Dad, what are you doing digging a hole in the yard?" ”

"Of course it's useful."

Yaya actually asked, and she didn't necessarily get an answer, Cai Yazhi next to her pricked up her ears and listened, and was slightly disappointed when she saw Zhang Taiping come to such a sentence that was equivalent to not saying.

Zhang Taiping saw his wife's expression and felt funny, she wanted to know but was embarrassed to ask Zhang Taiping the reason, and when the girl asked, she pricked up her ears and eavesdropped. So Zhang Taiping satisfied her curiosity.

"Wang Peng came to take a break and smoke a cigarette." Zhang Taiping jumped on the ground and said to Wang Peng, who was still in the ditch.

Wang Peng said "Hao Lak" and jumped up from the ditch, and after the two sat down, Zhang Taiping asked Cai Yazhi and Yaya to sit next to him, and then said his thoughts.

"It was a year before or after the year, when I had money, I was going to get a few acres of land on the south side of the yard, and then dig a pond to raise some fish, and then plant some lotus flowers or something. The purpose of digging a ditch in the yard is to bring in water from the pond and plant some flowers in the ditch. Fish can also come in when the time comes. It's not hot in the yard in the summer, and it's not too cold in the winter. ”

"Big brother, are you going to dig a fish pond? That's great? Wang Peng said happily.

"Good what?"

"Then you can swim in it, and there is fish to eat in the market. Hey. ”

"Aren't you afraid that the fish will bite your little brother when the time comes?"

"Hehe, don't be afraid." Wang Gui said with a smirk. Zhang Taiping was speechless, he wanted to dig a fish pond to raise some fish, but this guy actually wanted to swim in the pond.

Cai Yazhi will always ask if this is okay.

Zhang Taiping packed the ticket and said: "Sure, don't worry, the fish will definitely be sold, and it won't be a loss if it is sold to those farmhouses in Fengyukou Village." ”

Can the fish be fed? Cai Yazhi still asked uneasily.

"Do you think, the water in the river in front of our door originally flowed down from the reservoir in the mountains, and many big fish can be raised in the reservoir, let's introduce the water into the pond, can you raise fish?"

Cai Yazhi thought about it, it was all water in the river, and fish could be raised in the river, and it must also be possible in the pond. In fact, Zhang Taiping is not sure whether the theory he said can be successful, but he has confidence in the space spring water, and when the time comes, put some space water in the pond, and the fish in the pond will undoubtedly be alive, so he dares to pack the ticket so well.

So what did you build your yard for like this? Cai Yazhi is still a little worried about Zhang Taiping's eradication of the vegetables in the yard.

"Hehe, are you still distressed about those dishes?"

Cai Yazhi blushed and didn't speak, obviously acquiescing.

Zhang Taiping said: "I have an idea, when the time comes, I will make this place into a farmhouse like Fengyukou Village outside." The scenery in the yard is, of course, the more beautiful the better. ”

This time, Wang Peng was puzzled: "Will anyone come to the corner of the mountain isolation here?" ”

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "You see that Fengyukou Village is also in the mountains, and there are not many people who go to the farmhouse to eat and play. We are only a few miles away from Fengyukou Village, and the road is also good, just a few minutes by car, mainly because the people who are good at the time of publicity must not worry. ”

Cai Yazhi was relieved, she also knew about the farmhouse in Fengyukou Village, and she also sent wild goods from the mountains to somewhere, and the wild vegetables she usually dug would also be sent there. Knowing that there are many rich people sitting in front of the door, I was really surprised to know that a common wild vegetable called snow lotus in the mountains can be sold for ten yuan a plate.

Zhang Taiping said: "Digging ponds to raise fish is also for the future of the farmhouse, the farmhouse here is generally short of fish, when the time comes, we can not only use it ourselves, but also sell it to other farmhouses." ”

Can it really be? Cai Yazhi still asked unconfidently.

Patting her hand, Zhang Taiping said confidently: "Yes." People in the city come to the countryside to experience the farmhouse, in the final analysis, to feel the leisurely life of the countryside, we have a mountain here, and then get some water, it is a good place to not only enjoy the rural style, but also to appreciate the wonders of the mountains. As for the fish, don't worry about it, how can I find friends outside and sell it? ”

"I think it's okay, if the eldest brother wants to do something, there is nothing that can't be done." Wang Peng patted his ass on the side. He is not the kind of whisker patting horse, but he has admired Zhang Taiping too much since he was a child, and thinks that there is nothing that Zhang Taiping wants to do that cannot be done, so what he says is more or less sincere.

Cai Yazhi saw Zhang Taiping say this, and there was a Wang Peng beside her to help, her heart gradually relaxed, and she began to be full of confidence in the future, if it was really as her husband said, then Zhang Taiping and Wang Peng finished smoking, drank saliva and began to work again. Seeing that Cai Yazhi was still stunned there, Zhang Taiping said: "Don't think about it, the eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, at least it will be overwhelming next year to see the results." ”

Cai Yazhi smiled, picked up the shovel and began to transfer the soil dug up by Zhang Taiping and Wang Gui to the side.

The two of them, together with Cai Yazhi, came to help intermittently, and it took two days to dig all the places marked with lime, and dug them all the way to the water inlet specially left when the wall was built. Then I bought a few more bags of cement and brushed the bottom and all sides of the ditch.

After this work was done, the yard looked a little messy, and Zhang Taiping and Wang Peng filled in the uneven part of the yard with the excavated soil, and the excess soil was pulled out of the yard. A few cement slabs were made of cement and changed on top of the canal where there is no water yet, so that they could not be used as a pedestrian road.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Taiping asked Wang Peng to help build a chicken shed and a duck shed outside the gate of the orchard that connected the back valley. Some are wood, and some are bamboo that Zhang Taiping took out of the space when he found an opportunity. I didn't dare to build too many sheds, and I wasn't sure how many chickens and ducks I would raise at that time, so I built five in a row against the courtyard wall, which could accommodate two or three hundred chickens and ducks in total.

Now there is no money to buy chickens and ducks. The original money on hand was not much, and it cost more than 10,000 yuan to build a house with a courtyard wall and bathroom, so there was not much left at hand. Besides, it is still winter and it is only two months before the New Year, although there is also the technology of raising chickens in winter, but it is not easy after spring, so Zhang Taiping does not plan to sell chickens before Taiping.

After doing these jobs, Zhang Taiping paid Wang Peng again, Wang Peng still didn't want it this time, but finally accepted it under Zhang Taiping's stern words.
