Chapter 141: Clearing the Granary

A group of people rushed to the granary in the village with all kinds of cleaning tools, hoping to clean up as soon as possible, and when the town's engineers came down, they could start work immediately.

The old village chief had a key, which was an antique. In fact, it is just a few iron wires the size of ordinary hangers, and the tail is bent into a strange hook. Stick it in, hook the bolt with the hook at the end, and pry it up to open the door. This kind of lock does not have any metal inside, except for the key, and is all wooden. The principle is very simple, but inexperienced people just give you the key, and you can't open it.

This granary was built when it was engaged in large-scale production, and it is also the largest house in the village, with a length of about 20 meters and a width of ** meters. The floor inside is padded, so that it can prevent moisture, especially when it rains, the rainwater that cannot be sold out of the gutter under the eaves is poured in.

"This granary hasn't been cleaned for a few years." When he came to the door of the granary, the old village chief was a little impressed.

These two gates are also the giants in the village, about three meters wide, which is placed in the city, it is really a drop in the sea, but this is a backward mountain village.

It's just that Chu Jiaqiang felt that it was inappropriate when he saw this. Because it hasn't been cleaned for many years, the bottom of the door is crawling with moss, but the top is bitten by insects. The most unbearable thing is that there seems to be sawworms inside the door, making a very ugly sawing sound.

The sawworm is also the name of the countryside, in fact, it is what outsiders call the domestic cow, and this thing is also something that the people hate.

It is brown in color, densely covered with short yellowish-brown hairs, with small protrusions scattered on the wing sheath, and the top of the head is concave, with a longitudinal groove in the middle; Compound eyes are large. slightly kidney-shaped; In addition, there is a pair of long antennae.

The larvae feed on wooden door frames, bed boards, wooden cabinets, and roof beams. An irregular pit is formed, filled with wood powder, and it squeaks when it is harmful! Squeaky sound. In the case of severe damage, the bearing capacity of the wood is reduced and it is easy to break.

In the early days, wooden houses and buildings were more common, so they were easy to find in homes, so they were called Jiatianniu. But now most of the houses outside are cement houses, so people in the city may be relatively rare. Other wood borers may also have them.

Chu Jiaqiang stepped forward and grabbed the two bronze door ears, shook them a few times, and the two doors immediately billowed with smoke. Pouring out of the big wooden door. Something scary.

"Grandpa the village chief! This wooden door seems a little inappropriate! Chu Jiaqiang said.

The others saw the old village chief's face twitch a few times, and they blushed one by one, but they didn't laugh because of the old village chief's face. And no wonder! Don't say that you haven't paid attention to it for a few years, even if you haven't touched it for a year or two, it will definitely become the world of sawworms.

Seeing the old village chief's face, he began to wrinkle again. Chu Jiaqiang had no choice but to say: "Forget it, I'll tell Mayor Ye about this!" Let them come down with two doors by the way. ”

The old village chief nodded and said: "It's only like this, it's a little unrealistic to let the dumb wood make two gates of this scale come out overnight." ”

Chu Jiaqiang immediately called Mayor Ye and told the other party the scale of the gate. Mayor Ye answered, and then asked if there was anything more tattered, and said it, so that people could prepare early.

When I opened the door, I was greeted by a musty smell. Everyone took a few steps back.

"Let's go inside! Open all the windows inside to allow some ventilation inside. Let Shengzhong and a few of them quickly pull the wires over and connect a few electric lights. Jiaqiang, you take a few people to clean up the cobwebs on it. The others are divided into two teams, the fifth one, you take someone to move the things inside, and I take someone to complete the cleaning in the back. "The old village chief has begun to assign work.

With specific steps, it's much easier. Everyone can do it step by step.

One guy just walked in, screamed and slammed back. The old village chief asked, "You kid is frizzy, go in!" What for? ”

"Old village chief, there are a lot of rats in it, it's like a carnival." The guy said.

Everyone reached in, and sure enough, they saw a lot of rats scurrying around. Get! It seems that we have to exterminate the rats first. So, the old village chief had to organize people to destroy these rats if they could, and they had to be driven away if they couldn't be destroyed.

Chu Jiaqiang took three young people with high-pole brooms and began to clean up the cobwebs on them. This work has to be done by young and strong people, because to do this work, people always have to hold their heads up, and their necks are very tired. What's more important is that the garbage on it falls down, and sometimes it may fall into the eyes, so you have to be very careful and smart.

Chu Shengzhong took a few people and quickly pulled the wire over and lit the lamp, this time it was much easier, unlike just now, although it was not as exaggerated as saying that he couldn't see his five fingers, but it was also gray.

There are a lot of bamboo products and farm tools in it, but they have long been unusable, and these things can be moved out if anyone wants them to be used as firewood.

Just when the old village chief led everyone to clean up, the team of the town came down, a total of six trucks, which looked a little spectacular.

When these people came, they first said hello to the old village chief, got acquainted with each other, and then did not hesitate to let everyone replace the electric light with their own high-energy lamp. Suddenly! The whole area was like daylight, and everyone was amazed, saying that they had never seen such a bright electric light.

This time, the preparation in the town was also very sufficient, and a lot of materials were brought in. In addition to the main door, they are going to replace the windows with aluminium hinges, the kind of aluminum-framed glass. The floor is covered with a light floor, and the walls are covered with a layer of smooth thin wooden planks more than one meter high.

According to the engineering team, these materials were temporarily transported from the city. There are still a few cars in the town, which will be pulled down in a while. Chu Jiaqiang secretly said no wonder! These materials are worth a lot of money, and the town doesn't mean that they can't afford it, but it's not that cool.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for several more cars to drive into the village. Four of the cars were fitted with desks and the like, which was really impressive.

To do a good job, most people go back to take a shower and eat first. The old village chief still had to stay and greet these engineering team members. He ordered a few people to go back and bring teapots and wait, so that these people could drink a cup of hot tea when they were tired and thirsty. At the same time, let the family prepare feasts and the like.

The engineering team has also said that it will take at least six or seven hours to get it done. Therefore, the old village chief was ready to wait for them to work until the first hour, and then eat first. Anyway, the logistics work of the old village chief has been arranged properly, and it is in place!

These arrangements of the old village chief naturally won the favor of many construction workers, and the work was much more refreshing. Originally, they had some complaints about the third watch coming down to work in the middle of the night, but they could only do what the town ordered.
