Chapter 217: The Great Makeover (2)

Although these people are a little scoundrel, they still want to stay here in the end, so even if they are dissatisfied, they still obediently obey the arrangement to plant trees. The villagers didn't complain when they saw this, after all, most of them are not the kind of character who picks bones in eggs.

Once the peach trees are planted, it's time for the next step. In the second step, the Jinshu plan to renovate the river.

The Qingshui River, which flows through Qingshui Village, is a nice sight in the village. When it rains, the average depth of the river is about two or three meters, and usually, the water depth in most areas is not deeper than the calves of ordinary people. Besides, the river is wide, the widest part is about 20 meters, and the narrower side, such as the bridge leading to Jinshu's house, is about 5 or 6 meters.

Just trim the banks of the river, take a bamboo raft on the river, or go fishing with a fishing rod...... Whatever you do, you can relax.

So, led by the Zhang family, the villagers first cleared all the weeds on the riverbank, and then used local materials to pile up large pebbles, so that the riverbank on both sides looked brand new. It doesn't take much money to do this, you just need everyone's efforts. The men do the work, the women do the cooking, and even the village children help the adults after school.

Then there's the village road. Qingshui Village is not a planned modern new village, so the location of the villagers' houses is not regular, so the roads in the village are basically mud roads that everyone walks on. On a rainy day, someone walking on such a road will inevitably get mud on their shoes and trouser legs.

The best option for renovating the road is, of course, to pave the stones, but to do so is not a small amount of silver. Jin Shu only inquired a little, and immediately dismissed this idea. She felt that it was expensive, and the villagers couldn't accept it even more. So Jin Shu hit the idea on the pebbles in the Qingshui River again.

Cobblestones are actually a good paving material, and it can save money by using them on the spot. After consulting with the villagers, Jinshu first found someone to use stone strips to enclose the general framework of the main road in the whole village, and paved the two sides of the road with stone strips, and filled it with pebbles, gravel and river sand in the middle.

The villagers had to take care of the crops in the fields, and the rest of the time was basically focused on building the roads. Tiredness is certain, although there are many people who complain, but basically they don't give up. After the road was completely paved, everyone realized why Jinshu had to go to such great lengths.

Not only does the new road make the whole village look more beautiful, but the key is that when it rains, everyone no longer has to worry about muddy water staining their shoes and socks.

Of course, this is only a small part of the renovation project.

In the years that followed, the villagers began to renovate their houses at the suggestion of the Jinshu, and some simply took the opportunity to renovate their houses. Jin Shu himself found someone to transform the mountain forest behind his orchard into a natural hunting ground, and paved a road straight through the orchard, through which you can reach the hunting ground for some simple and interesting hunting activities.

The mountain on the other side of the river didn't let go of the brocade book. The villagers pooled the money together, and she was responsible for finding people, and carved out a few paths and built a few pavilions in the natural bamboo forest on the opposite hill. The old house of the Zhang family where Jinshu and the Ye family once lived was also demolished, and a bamboo building was built in place with the consent of the Zhang family.
