Chapter 5 Tree Planting
I simply coped with my own snacks and set up a tent outside the prefabricated house.
The heavens and the earth, which had been bright a few minutes ago, turned dark in an instant, and after a while the moon came out.
Under the dark sky, where there is no light pollution and no dust, a bright moon hangs on it, dotted with stars around it, and the golden sand during the day turns silvery white.
Lying on the clean sand with a hint of heat, looking up at the beautiful sky, there is not a single noise in my ears, only the occasional faint sound of wind and the sound of small animals moving in the night.
Cheng Bin, who was lying on the sand in a daze, suddenly woke up, only to see that Cheng Bin, who was lying flat, had curled up into a ball.
And in the middle of the night, the desert was too cold, and a cool breeze woke up Cheng Bin, who was already asleep, turned on the mobile phone he carried with him, opened the screen and looked at the time, and found that it was already 1 o'clock in the middle of the night.
I got up and returned to the tent I had set up, and climbed into the sleeping bag that I had prepared, and the warmth followed, and the irrepressible sleepiness in my already exhausted body filled my body.
A bright light shone on the face of Cheng Bin, who was not wearing an eye patch, opened the zipper at the door of the tent, and looked into the distance with blurred eyes.
Unlike the poignancy of the evening sunset, the red sun of the early morning is lively, and it shines a ray of light that pierces the darkness
, breaking the confinement of darkness, squeezed from the horizon into the deep blue sky, and a few white clouds drifting in the distance were also dyed bright red.
Under the illumination of this light, the dew on the ground, on the dwarf vegetation, and the tent and board house next to Cheng Bin, who stood up at some point, also slowly rose, and within a few minutes, the water droplets that shimmered under the light disappeared without a trace.
Turn on the generator, pump a bucket of water, clean up personal hygiene with cool groundwater,
Stimulated by the cool groundwater, Cheng Bin, who was still in a daze, suddenly sobered up.
Once again, breakfast was settled with bread and snacks that had already been bought with cold and delicious mineral groundwater.
Spread a cushion on a low sand dune not far away, looking at the dazzling sunlight that is not in the south, quietly waiting for the mobile phone to ring, it has been a long time since I have been so idle, in the college time is not to play games or study, and to go out to play with a group of friends, day by day in a daze, as if there is no moment to stop, sitting in a place without thinking about anything, doing nothing, just like this.
The time in a daze is always very fast, and gradually the sun climbs from the horizon to the center of the sky, and the hot breath also comes from all directions.
Cheng Bin, who had slid down the sand dunes, ran to the board house and took out a folded plastic object from his huge backpack.
Then Cheng Bin spread it out outside the prefabricated house, Cheng Bin took out a water pipe from the prefabricated house, connected one end to the faucet and the other end to the waterbed spread out outside, turned on the generator and connected the water pump, the original shriveled water pipe was slowly filled, and then the same shriveled waterbed was slowly plumped, the cool groundwater was filled, and a waterbed to dispel heat and escape the heat in the hot summer was completed.
Lying on the waterbed, the heat that had just spread to the upper body was dispersed by the cold waterbed and emptied.
After lying down for a while, the mobile phone that was placed next to me to charge with a power bank rang.
"Hey! Is it Boss Cheng? I am the EMS post office of Weimo County, you have a few large couriers, you need to confirm your detailed address, so that we can deliver. ”
"Oh, okay, you can send it to Zizhi Village, Dongfang Forest Farm, and then walk in the direction of the desert and you can see me along the axle print from yesterday."
"Well, okay, I'll contact you then, oh yes, can you add a wx? You can share the address so that we can find you more easily. ”
A hesitant young woman's voice came from the other end of the line.
"Yes! OK! I forgot to have this feature, you add 1371394xxxx"
"Uh-huh! Wx contact when the time comes"
Cheng Bin, who hung up the phone, dialed the phone number that had been stored yesterday.
"Is it Boss Ma?"
"Hey!! It's Boss Cheng! “
"The person I made yesterday can come now, remember to pull a few carts of fertile soil! And the address I'll send to your wx later, just come! Everything is done according to yesterday's agreement! “
"Okay, we've got our stuff ready, let's go now, and we'll be there later."
"Okay, bye-bye!"
Cheng Bin, who hung up the phone, passed a new friend application, and at the same time shared an address with Ma Congjing, and also shared the address with EMS.
Just as the shadows under the prefabricated house were about to disappear, the sound of cars could be heard in the distance.
Cheng Bin, who got up from the waterbed, stood up and saw a long convoy speeding in the direction of Cheng Bin in the dust.
With the loud sound of the truck's brakes, more than a dozen vehicles stopped in turn.
In a small county, a small thing can spread within a few hours, not to mention the employment of dozens of people, as well as the transportation of bulk goods, so the convoy that should have been divided into two teams came here together.
"Hello! Yes, Mr. Cheng, you can sign and receive the goods here after you check the goods."
A tall and beautiful young Uyghur beauty with fair skin said to Cheng Bin, speaking of which, because of this catastrophe, many positions have been vacated, and as a result, many basic management personnel have become much younger, and the aging population is no longer a burden on various countries.
On the other side, Ma Congjing also beckoned the people he brought to unload all kinds of goods in his convoy, some of which Cheng Bin bought in the county seat yesterday and then put them in Ma Congjing, all of which were some large goods, such as cement and other construction materials.
And speaking of Ma Congjing is also a talent, basically all kinds of places for employing people in the county have been contracted by him, such as picking cotton, building houses, farming, etc., so as long as you find him in Weimo County and then pay for everything, everything can be solved, and his reputation does not have to worry, he has never had a bad review for decades, according to his words: "Credit is the basic principle and necessity of doing business and being a man!" That's why he was able to have such a big business in just a few years.
After his convoy was unloaded, Cheng Bin also counted the mail and signed it. Then Cheng Bin beckoned Ma Congjing to let him unload the goods at the post office.
By the time everything was done, it was already more than 12 noon, and the chef in Ma Congjing's team was about to cook.
The convoy at the post office did not stop for a moment, and after Cheng Bin signed for it, several employees got into the car and turned 360 degrees in place and returned the road in the dust.
After eating the authentic pilaf made by the chef brought by Ma Congjing and resting for a while, Ma Congjing assigned the personnel he brought, and then started work.
A group of young and middle-aged men and women wearing big-brimmed hats began construction, and a group of people began to build the houses according to the plans that had been planned, while a few people turned on the water pump, connected the long water pipe placed on the trolley, pulled the trolley over the place where the pit was dug and filled in the soil and planted the trees, and poured a little water on each small pit, only the water of the land under the wet sapling.
Everyone has their own work, a picture of a hot work.
And Cheng Bin's task is to lie on the waterbed that has changed places and changed water again, playing with his mobile phone.
