Chapter 141: Laying the Bottom Firewood

In July, it is hot and rainy, and it is a good time to prepare the soil in the field.

The history of ginseng planting in the second brigade is relatively long, and most of the ginseng land near the No. 2 bridge has been used, and there is no felling area this year.

The newly approved ginseng land is near the Xiaohei River in the southwest of Funan Forest Farm.

The first thing to do when choosing a site is to clean up the site.

This is last year's new logging area, and the large logs have already been removed, and the remaining shrubs, small trees, and weeds have to be cleared, which is the base wood.

Generally speaking, priming firewood is most suitable for Futian.

Leave the useful wood behind, and gather the rest of the dead branches and weeds, dry them for a few days, and then light them on fire.

It can increase ground temperature, accelerate the decomposition of organic matter, promote soil maturation, and reduce pests and diseases.

Xu Shiyan is a technician in the second brigade, so he must bring people to do all these jobs.

Funan Forest Farm is quite far away from Donggang, and it is inconvenient to run back and forth all day long, so Xu Shiyan took people and set up a ground stick next to the ginseng ground.

Take advantage of the good weather and hurry up to get the job out.

After a few days of drying, the dead branches and weeds on the ground were half dry, so I found a windless morning, and planned to set the firewood and grass pile on fire.

"The big guys are all in good spirits, you must watch it, don't run away.

It's all woods around here, and if something happens, we'll all have to go inside. ”

Xu Shiyan told everyone uneasily, for fear that a careless person would run away, and that would be a big deal.

"Brother Xu, don't worry, these haystacks are quite far away from the edge of the forest, and you can't run away from the fire, so you can rest in peace."

Don't look at Xu Shiyan as a technician, but he has no shelf, he lives and works with the big guys, and he never looks down on anyone, so everyone is quite close to Xu Shiyan.

"The haystack we made this time is too big, I'm afraid the fire won't be good, so let's be careful."

How dare Xu Shiyan leave the place? He went home the day before yesterday, and these bastards piled up the firewood and grass so high.

Just kidding, if the fire comes together, and then a gust of wind blows, I really don't dare to say what the situation is, let's honestly watch here.

"Don't be in a hurry to light a fire just yet, we all have shovels and dig a fire escape around those haystacks, this thing is really no joke."

Xu Shiyan was still not at ease, and arranged for someone to use a shovel to dig up the land around the firewood and grass pile.

After working together for so long, the big guys also know Xu Shiyan's temper, and they are cautious and thoughtful.

Since Xu Shiyan is in charge of the work, he will do what he says.

So the young men were not tired, they all took shovels and pickaxes, and dug a fire escape around those large firewood and grass piles.

At this time, Xu Shiyan was relieved and called for someone to light the fire.

The weeds had been exposed to the sun for several days, and they had already dried up, and when there was a little fire, the flames suddenly burst up and burned with the half-dried branches.

In the summer, it was already hot, and as soon as the fire was lit, it was even more panicked.

Everyone hurriedly withdrew from the distance, and sat in the shade at the edge of the woods, chatting and laughing.

Everyone else was laughing and laughing, but Xu Shiyan didn't dare to be distracted at all, and kept staring at the fire, for fear of some accidents.

Originally, everything was fine, although the fire was large, but after all, most of the branches were not too dry, and the fire was not big.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the fire began to rise.

Xu Shiyan was so frightened that he stood up suddenly, "Quick, take a look around, don't run away." ”

As long as they dig that little fire escape, there is a real fire that can't be stopped, this is really not a joke.

"Don't even sit still, let's take a look."

As he spoke, Xu Shiyan walked around the forest to check the situation around the fire.

As a result, an anomaly was discovered near a fire to the west.

The fire escape over there was not dug properly, and the grass around the fire was roasted dry, and the wind just now should have blown the sparks out, and the fire spread to the side.

"Come here with your belongings, it's deserted here." Xu Shiyan hurriedly shouted loudly, and rushed over with a shovel.

When the people over there heard this, they were frightened enough, and they hurried to the west.

When I looked here, the fire spread quite a lot on the ground.

Without saying a word, the people picked up the shovels and branches and began to beat, and some people picked up the soil from the ground and pressed it upward.

Fortunately, the grass on the ground was not thick when it was cleaned up.

In addition, the wind blew for a while, and soon stopped, and the fire was brought under control in the midst of the crowd's fighting.

"It's so hanging, Zhente Niang's life, why did you come to such a demonic wind?"

Seeing that the fire was extinguished, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Now, no one dared to run to play, they all stayed around the forest, staring at the fires, for fear of any more accidents.

A few of the fires were too big, and there were some big roots or something in them, and they burned until the afternoon, and they were finished.

Xu Shiyan was not at ease, so he took people to check the fires one by one, and turned the fires from top to bottom with sticks.

After confirming that there were no remnants of sparks extinguished, he breathed a sigh of relief and led people down the mountain.

Shendi is more than 30 miles away from Donggang, but fortunately, Xu Shiyan rode a bicycle and arrived home at five o'clock.

didn't wait to enter the door, and heard a lot of laughter and laughter at home, Xu Shiyan was a little puzzled, who is here?

In summer, the windows are open, Xu Shiyan walked to the window and took a special look in, okay, there are still a lot of people in the house.

The father-in-law, mother-in-law, father, mother, are all here. What day is it, why is it so complete?

"Dad, Mom, Dad, Mom, why are they all here?" The two fathers, you have to distinguish them, then you can only call Xu Chenghou Dad, and Su Weizhong Dad.

"What's coming? You're a father, you even forgot about your son for a hundred days, right?

Haiyuan is celebrating 100 days today, and I, your mother, your father-in-law, and my mother-in-law have come to see the child and give the child a hundred days. ”

Xu Chenghou glanced at his son, can he forget such a big thing?

Xu Shiyan patted his head, "Oh my God, I really forgot, the mountains are too busy these days, I live in the mountains, and I don't know which day it is." ”

Isn't? His son was born on the twelfth day of the third month of the lunar calendar, and the baby was counted as a hundred days, not by days, but by months, and it was ninety-nine days.

Today is the 25th day of the seventh month of the solar calendar, isn't the 21st of June in the lunar calendar?

"What are you busy with? Look at the gray face you made, why do you still have a black and gray face? ”

Zhou Guilan saw that her son was tanned and thin this summer, and she immediately felt distressed.

"Go to the ground, lay the firewood, burn those branches and weeds today, isn't this leading people there to watch the fire burn and fall into ashes."

Xu Shiyan didn't dare to say that he almost ran away, for fear that his parents would worry.

"Alright, you go wash and change your clothes, Eiko, hurry up and find him a clean set of clothes."

Zhou Guilan loves cleanliness, where can she see her son's dirty appearance? Hurriedly took Xu Shiyan to wash up and clean up.

Xu Shiyan has been on the mountain these days, and he really doesn't look good.

It just so happens that there is a big basin of water in the yard, and it's still warm, so hurry up and wash it.

"Mom, have the results of the college entrance examination come out?" Xu Shiyan took the towel handed by his mother, wiped his head and face, and asked casually.
