30. Tap water to the home

By the time they got home, it was already the middle of the night, but Gu Yun saw a few people waiting at the entrance of the village from a distance.

When he got closer, he saw his father and the old branch secretary at the entrance of the village, setting up a wine table, and they were all drinking a little big at this time.

Seeing that Gu Yun and the others had returned, he began to clean up the table leisurely.

Gu Yun drove the tractor to the village and parked it, and he didn't have to unload the truck, but he would pull it for use tomorrow.

Helping my father to walk home, this time they didn't go back to the old house, because my mother said in the morning that they were going to move today.

When I came to the former village collective office, it had been cleaned up, and the fence walls of the yard had been carefully cleaned.

Gu Yun's room was arranged in the innermost room, and his mother had already laid out his bedding, and the desks and wardrobes inside were all placed.

Looking at the obviously much empty room, Gu Yun sighed a little for a while, and unconsciously, it had been half a year since he came here.

In the past six months, the conditions at home have been greatly improved, and most importantly, he has not been exposed to others, everything is done behind the scenes.

With his father in front, he can better survive his development, and Gu Yun is not interested in such a thing as being in the limelight.

Even if he becomes the world's top boss in the future, he will be a person who hides behind the scenes.

I silently summarized what I had gained in the recent period in my heart, and I felt that my knowledge reserve was still not enough.

Gu Yun shook his head, it seems that reading and studying must continue, otherwise even if he builds a business empire in the future, it will be in vain if he can't keep it in the end.

Looking out the window again, it was already the second half of the night, he had been driving a tractor for a day, and now he felt like his whole body was falling apart, and he was extremely sore.

I didn't have the heart to continue thinking, so I fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Gu Yun was woken up by the villagers, and drove the tractor in a daze to send all the water pipes to the back mountain.

All the 20 mm water pipes were thrown in the village, which was to wait for the main water pipes to be in place, and then connected to the user branches, so that they did not have to be pulled to the back mountain.

The 60-millimeter water pipe, which is the backbone of this water project, was thrown on the ground at a distance of one or two hundred meters according to the instructions of the person leading the way.

After doing all this, Gu Yun went back to the house and continued to sleep, because he was too sleepy.

Gu Jianguo didn't wake up Gu Yun like before this time, so when Gu Yun woke up again, it was already past eleven o'clock in the morning, and the sun was already very high.

Feeling the comfortable temperature brought by the sunlight mixed with cold air, Gu Yun did not have the habit of lying in bed, got up and dressed, and then came to the yard to start washing.

In the courtyard, there is a large pool, which was built when the village was worried that the well water was not enough to eat, and now it is also cheaper for the Gu Yun family.

After a night's rest, yesterday's soreness has improved a lot, and after washing my face with cold water, the whole person is refreshed.

After washing, Gu Yun didn't feel hungry, so he didn't go to the kitchen to find food, found a hoe from the yard, carried it and walked towards the back mountain.

When Gu Yun came to the back mountain, the matter was almost over, and the ditch that should have been dug had all been completed after the excavation yesterday and this morning.

The reservoir that needed to be built was completed yesterday and now needs to wait for the cement to fully solidify before it can be put into use.

The experienced well digging master is now looking for the location of the spring, for this work, Gu Yun can't help, so he doesn't follow to join in the fun, turns around and pulls the water pipe with everyone, and then plows the soil and buries it.

The main water pipe is buried all the way to the highest point in the village, and from here the water is divided, so that every household can have water and no one is missed.

The difference is that the water flow is a little larger for people with a lower location, but it is also very large.

At this point, the 60 mm main water pipe was divided into two according to the area, one in the east and one in the west of the village.

When they arrived here, the people who worked were divided into two groups, the people from the east of the village went to the east side of the village, and the west side of the village naturally went to the west side of the village.

Gu Yun's house was in the east of the village, so he followed the people in the east of the village.

There are only 9 households in the east of the village, although there are fewer people, but the speed is not slow at all, at about half past two in the afternoon, a water pipe buried more than 50 centimeters deep underground was pulled to the highest point in the east of the village.

When we got there, the water was distributed to each house, and then the crowd was separated again, and each family received a 20 mm water pipe and began to dig into their trenches.

Gu Yun visually inspected it, and it took about 30 meters to dig to his house, which was not very far.

And at this time, there is no concrete floor, it is all compacted mud roads, which are not particularly difficult to dig.

The family of three worked hard until after 6 p.m. to dig the 30-meter trench, then went to get a water pipe to bury it, and filled the soil again, which was considered complete.

Then the plumber in the village began to make water pipe joints, and Gu Yun divided an easy job, which was to carry a charcoal stove with his father, follow the installation master, and make the joints.

At first, Gu Yun didn't know what to do with this stove, but when he arrived at the place, he understood.

The first place to go was to the side of the cistern on the mountain, where a water valve was made, and as long as the water valve here was turned off, the whole village would have no water.

However, in order to make the maintenance of water pipes more convenient in the future, this must also be installed, and I have bought a few more, and I will check and replace them regularly.

The next step is the docking of the main water pipe, although I bought the direct joint of the water pipe, but it is only used to fix and protect the joint, and the sealing is not good, so the masters also need to do a good job of sealing the joint.

The method is also simple, cut the fracture flat at the disconnected position of the two water pipes, take out a piece of red-hot iron from the charcoal stove and put it in the middle of the incision, and the two water pipe incisions are pasted at the same time.

In just a few seconds, the plastic of the cut begins to melt, and the iron is pulled out and the two pipes are firmly glued together.

At this time, wrap a few circles of waterproof glue on the outside, install the direct joint, fix it, and make a maintenance hand hole on the outside, which is completed.

The manhole is crude, just covering the place with stones and burying it with earth.

It took more than 30 of these connections to connect the entire village's water pipes.

At this point, the water supply project in Shadi Village is considered complete, and it only needs to wait for the spring to be found, and the reservoir can be put into use after a period of water change.

And the next day, the spring was successfully found and dug out, and Gu Yun was quite happy to see the clear mountain spring water flowing into the reservoir through a section of water pipe.

These days, he goes to the well in the middle of the village to pick up water, and he has been wanting tap water for a long time.

Well, now that the cistern has been cleaned once, it only needs to be cleaned again tomorrow to use it, and the tap water will be at home.
