In the evening, Jiang Zhi and the others came home very late, they were really hard working today, knowing that people were waiting for rice planting in a hurry, no one was grinding foreign workers, they were very hard, and they turned over the rest of the land in one day's time.

Jiang Zhi said that Zhang Xiukun was so moved that he raised his glass several times at the wine table in the evening to thank these brothers for their efforts, and everyone was very happy to drink, so he came so late.

I told him what happened today, first of all, the problem of children's education, Jiang Zhi also agreed that we should tutor the children at home, which is the most basic, just be able to read and count, this Jiang Ma is the most suitable, and other survival skills are the focus of Jiang Zhi's cultivation, and we also have ready-made teachers, their Uncle Li and Uncle Li. All I have to do is set a schedule and a time for them.

Then I told him about our family's rice problem, and also said my sister-in-law's words, if it continues like this, there will definitely be a bumper harvest in autumn. Jiang Zhi looked at me and said, "You forgot that there is still a drought in summer, do you say that it is possible that the wind and rain have been so smooth all the time, if we want to have a real harvest, we have to think of some other way." ”

"I remember, this is a moment of joy did not remember, you said that we do not need to give the rice the whole shade net, I used to see it on TV, it is the kind of black, the middle is a hole, can be breathable, let's have more that, in the sunshine and hottest time to cover the rice field, so that the water in the rice field can not evaporate so fast, our family has also begun to save water, and it should be able to use some of it at that time." I said as I thought.

Now that the weather is getting hotter and hotter every day, everyone is busy with different things every day. When we got home, the whole family must take a bath before going to bed at night, and we connected the sewer pipe in the bathroom directly to a reservoir with a diameter of 2 meters and a depth of more than 30 meters in the backyard. Let the family dig for us, just to save the usual domestic water, that is, to water the garden, feed the cattle and sheep. I also stipulated that the family should not use shampoo and shower gel with chemical agents in the bath, but instead use soap made of pig pancreas, which is pure natural and environmentally friendly. It is less polluting to water resources.

We also added a strainer at the entrance, and covered the top of the cistern with a large stone disc weighing several hundred pounds, and sealed it completely. In this way, there is no need to worry about the children being naughty and accidentally falling, the only drawback is that the stone plate is too heavy, and our family will be lifted up by Jiang Zhizhi.

"I know the kind of thing you're talking about, it's supposed to be a kind of shade net. Wait for two days for the work of Lao Zhang's family to be completed. I'll go to the county and look for it. "As soon as Jiang Zhi heard my description, he knew what I was talking about, and he also felt that it should be useful, so he felt that he would get some back when he had time.

"Didn't you finish digging the ground today?" I'm curious, didn't I finish digging up the wine I drank today?

"Isn't there still rice planting, today at the dinner table Chen Ming that kid drank a little too much, I heard people say that they can't wait, and they will go to the ground tomorrow to plant seedlings. I patted my chest and said that we would all come to help plant rice tomorrow. You said he said everything, and we were embarrassed to say that there was something, and people were really anxious, so let's help if we can. Jiang Zhi said helplessly, I know that this is also because he has a good impression of the Zhang family, and he is responsible for his temper, so that he will not give Chen Ming face.

I thought about it, since Jiang Zhi said that he would go to the county in two days, then he would just bring back all the materials that Xiaofang wanted to use, so I told him what Xiaofang begged me today.

Jiang Zhi said as soon as he heard it: "Okay, isn't it just some sand, cement or something, no one wants these things now, let's go to the construction site to pull some up." ”

Two days later, Jiang Zhi rode a tricycle alone to the county, I originally wanted to go, Jiang Zhi said no, just find some shade nets and sand and stones, I don't need to go.

I thought so, and I had other work to do, so I didn't go along. It's just that Jiang Zhi has been repeatedly told to pay attention to safety, and if he can't find it, he will come back, we are trying to find a way.

Jiang Zhi waved his hand and rode away on a tricycle. When Jiang Zhi left, I took Li Cheng, who had no class, with a machete and went to the bamboo forest in the back with me.

Our family has also started a cram school, and every afternoon everyone starts after a nap, and then has a 30-minute Chinese or math class, followed by a 1-hour life skills class. It was basically taught by Li Cheng, and Li Shanqing was responsible for teaching the children military physical boxing every morning.

The kids loved the arrangement. It's not too tiring, and it's studying every day.

When Jiang Zhi left, I took Li Cheng, who had no class, with a machete and went to the bamboo forest next to my house.

It's not the first time I've been to the bamboo forest, so I led Li Cheng inside, and when I saw the dead bamboo or the old bamboo, I asked Li Cheng to cut it down, and then put it on the ground, and then we walked forward and continued to search.

In the process of Li Cheng cutting bamboo, I can still find time to dig a few bamboo shoots, Li Cheng sees me so leisurely and a little owed.

"Sister, this is so unfair, how can you dig bamboo shoots to play, I have to cut bamboo?"

I replied without a head: "You can talk as you speak, and don't stop the work in your hands." If you ask for fairness, then you have to change it in the next life, and if you give birth to a woman first, you basically don't have to do this. Second, if you come out early, you will be a sister, and you will be able to support me to do this, understand? ”

Li Cheng pursed his lips when he heard this, and muttered: "Then I'll still chop bamboo, I'm not a woman, and there's nothing good, I have to have children, there are still a few days of inconvenience every month, and my temperament is jealous and suspicious." I'm still honest as a man and chop bamboo. ”

"That's right, women are not what anyone wants to be, this is a university question, and an intelligent person like you can deal with being a man." Isn't it said that men are animals that think with their lower bodies? There's no IQ anymore. Of course, the IQ of other men in our family is still very high, and Li Cheng is an accident.

Li Cheng and I worked in the bamboo forest for a long time, and when we walked back, we still returned the same way, and he cut down the bamboo that he had cut and threw on the ground. Picked them up one by one and put them on his shoulders, and I saw him resist more and more. A little worried about his body, he took a picture of a giant force charm.

"Sister, I'm fine, I can resist, what a waste of you." Li Cheng said with a grin.

"Okay, my mouth is grinning to my ears, do you really think I'm wasting?" I looked at him like that and laughed. This younger brother is really good.

"Hehe, it's okay, my sister has the ability. That's what this talisman has. Li Cheng said doggedly.

I nodded, I didn't feel sorry for using the talisman on my family.

I carried a basket of bamboo shoots, Li Cheng carried a large stack of bamboo back home, and then I handed the bamboo shoots to Qu's mother. Say add vegetables in the evening. Then he cut the bamboo into sticks and put them in the yard to expose them to the sun, and at about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Zhi came back on a tricycle, and the things on the tricycle behind him were much higher than him, stacks and stacks. I'm a little worried about the longevity of this tricycle, pulling so many things at once, it is estimated that Jiang Zhi used a light talisman, otherwise the tricycle would not be able to walk the road. When you get home, put down the top few rolls of shade nets. I rode directly to my aunt's house with sand and cement.

Then Lu Fang began to prepare to dig the ice cellar, and it took a week to dig her own house. followed by Sister Qu's family and Sister Qu's family. Then there is Aunt Qin's house, these days, Aunt Qin has sent his son to help us work all the time, and he will go to whoever we dig, until our three real relatives have finished digging, he said: "Brother Jiang, you see that I have been in line for so long, it should be my turn next." ”

didn't say anything, just the enthusiasm of the queue, how should it be his turn. The people who dig the ice cellar in the back are more and more proficient, and they dig one in four or five days, and these people in our family said that this is the last one, and these days they are repeating a bending down to dig the soil The work is too tired, and they have to take a good rest.

That's what I mean, I told Lu Fang, let her put the point, if someone comes to ask her to dig the ice cellar, let her ask for wages, this job is not an easy job, don't look at a few men in our family can dig one out in a week, that's because we have auxiliary tools, you let those construction workers try it, our family dug the ice cellar back then but it took nearly a month to dig it, although part of the reason is that Lu Fang was not too familiar with the first time to guide the digging, many places are studied first and then started, but if those workers come to dig now, it will definitely not be completed without half a month.

Anyway, this is also a big project, and it is reasonable to ask for wages. I discussed with Lu Fang for a long time, and set the price, according to the square meter, the salary of one square meter is 10 catties of rice, and the contractor is 20 catties of rice per square meter. The minimum consumption is 200 catties of rice.

I announced this price, and Li Cheng said to me, "Sister, you are too dark, this person will need 500 catties of rice to dig a 50-square-meter ice cellar, and if the package is 1,000 catties." Is anyone willing to spend money to dig it? ”

I don't think so: "It depends on what you think, what is the concept of 1,000 catties of rice, in normal times, it is the harvest of one acre of land, how much can 1,000 catties of rice be sold?" What is the difference between digging an ice cellar and the house, one is above the ground and the other is underground, and it is only more difficult than building a house to dig below. In this way, you can build a 50-square-meter house with 1,000 catties of rice, which is too cost-effective!

As for you saying that no one wants to dig, it is also temporary, and when this summer passes, Lu Fang's business will definitely be booming in autumn. ”

Anyone who has endured hunger and thirst knows the importance of water, and if there is a way to store it effectively when it is redundant and take it out at the most critical time, I think many people who have experienced drought will not mind that little bit of food.

"Moreover, we can't do this job ourselves, if we want to earn some rice from this, we will find a serious construction team to cooperate."

"Why?" Lu Fang and Li Cheng asked together.

"You think, if these people in our family charge people to dig ice cellars, and how much rice they earn is our family's, can the people in the village not be red-eyed, and it will be difficult to live a life of disappearance in the future, if you find others to cooperate, everyone will think that you have only earned a small part of it, and most of it is to be shared by others, then no one will be red-eyed."

They nodded teachably. (To be continued.) )
