Chapter 43 Clearing the Wasteland and Finding a Car
When they arrived in the field, Chengxin commanded everyone, and then arranged for the two of them to start weeding from top to bottom, at certain intervals.
As for the two of them, if there is anything that is convenient to take care of or squeak, if there are any special circumstances, everyone can also know if it is not.
After the arrangement, everyone took the hoe and started weeding.
Everyone's approach to work is different, and some people just pick up a hoe and start shoveling the weeds on it.
Some people use firewood knives to cut down some small saplings that grow in this wasteland first, and everyone is working enthusiastically anyway.
Chengxin looked at it for a while, and then left, there is no need to keep staring, they are all people in the village, and if you are not honest, you will know it by looking at his land.
Anyway, it's weeding, and everyone's land is about the same, and some of the trees in the field grow a little more, but they are not too rooted, so the speed is not much different.
Even if someone is a little worse, Chengxin won't care.
On the way back to the old house, Chengxin began to think about the stone.
Yesterday it was a bit whimsical to think that dozens of people would get that two-ton stone into the newly built yard.
Thinking about it carefully at night, these two tons are also 4,000 catties, so how many people do you need? Two hundred pounds for one person also cost more than twenty.
And twenty people may not be able to get it back, after all, there is a section of uphill from the valley, although it is not too steep, but if it goes uphill, the force is uneven, and it is easy to have an accident, so Chengxin has to think of a way.
Until he arrived at the old mansion, Chengxin didn't come up with anything.
"Hey, why did you come back like that? Looking at Chengxin who came back, the old man asked.
"Master, it's almost the same when I take them to distribute it, it's all in the village, and Uncle Wang's name is also known to the roots, so I won't be there to watch.
"Well, these people in the village are not cheating and tricky, it's okay if you don't look at it, your milk is stewing mung bean soup, it will cool down sooner if it is stewed early, the old man nodded and said.
"Master, is there a big car in the village? Cheng Xin suddenly asked.
"Big cart? What big cart? The old man wondered.
"It's an ox cart or a horse-drawn cart, which is relatively large and can hold thousands of catties, Cheng Xin replied.
"How many thousand pounds can it hold? No one has such a big one, and it can fit hundreds of kilograms, which is the largest in the village~
"Hey, that's right.
The old man suddenly remembered something.
"What's wrong? Chengxin asked
"There is one big car, but I don't know if it's broken, the old man said.
"Got a big car? Who's from? Chengxin asked again.
"This is not anyone's house, it is from the village, I used to get it from outside the village, the skeleton is made of steel, four wheels, but it is not high, only more than 20 centimeters from the ground.
"These things were made before, just to get back the big trees that had been cut down from the old woods.
Two cows can be tied in front, and they can be thousands of pounds at a time, the old man recalled.
"Oh, then I'll take a look.
After speaking, Chengxin went to the village.
After a while, Chengxin arrived at the village department, and as usual, the old branch secretary was playing chess.
"Why are you kid here again, not watching those people open up the wasteland? Uncle Wang asked on the side.
"Uncle, it's all the people you are looking for, I don't worry, but if someone is lazy, then I'll look for you, Chengxin said jokingly.
"Hehe, you kid, are you planning to be lazy with your uncle and me? Tell me, what's going on? Uncle Wang asked.
"Uncle, I heard that there is a big car in the village? I thought about borrowing a day to pull a big stone in the valley of rocks, but my ox cart would not work, Chengxin said.
"Pull stones? You kid is really full and has nothing to do, the car is in the shed next door to the wood last time you saw it, and it usually has been oiled, so it should be fine.
"However, that thing is a car tire, I haven't seen it for a long time, and I don't know if it's broken.
"At that time, the village only bought two spare tires, and if they were all broken, it would be difficult to get them," Uncle Wang said.
As soon as Uncle Wang finished speaking, Cheng Xin walked directly towards the shed that Uncle Wang said, and pushed open the door to take a look. Sure enough, there was a car.
Underneath the whole car are two keels made of 10 centimeters wide and 3 meters long square steel.
There were also some small square steels on top, which were then fastened with screws, and on top were laid several wooden planks four meters long and ten centimeters thick.
The whole car is just over two meters wide. Mainly to fit the main road in the village.
At the front, there are two square steels of nearly two meters, probably for cattle.
In this way, the car is six meters long.
The expenditure went to two meters, the keel was three meters, and the planks were added to go out a little more.
Chengxin squatted in front of the car again and looked at the four tires, two of which were a little angry, and the other two were not angry at all.
Broken two? Cheng Xin thought.
turned around and looked for it, and actually saw the pump on the side, Chengxin picked up the pump, and then came to the two tires that were completely inflated.
After a few minutes, Chengxin found that one of them was fine, and the other was a complete air leak.
Wiping his sweat, Chengxin came out of the shed again and came to Uncle Wang's side.
"Uncle, don't you still have a spare tire? If the one is broken, give me a wrench and a spare tire, and I'll replace it.
"Oh, it's broken, huh? Yes? Come with me.
After speaking, Uncle Wang took Chengxin into the village, and then in a room, he found an unopened spare tire, plus a big wrench and a steel pipe.
Chengxin held the spare tire, Uncle Wang took the wrench and steel pipe, and the two came to the shed after a while.
Align the wrench with the nut on the tire rim, and then put the outer wrench on the steel pipe sleeve, and the nut will loosen as soon as you push it.
Fortunately, the oil is often pumped, otherwise the nuts may not be removed.
After wasting a lot of effort, Chengxin and Uncle Wang replaced the broken tires. Then the other 3 tires were also gasped up.
Don't look at this simple point, the two of them also have sweat on their foreheads.
"Okay boy, repair it and use it, let's talk about it first, don't break it, otherwise, four thousand oceans, Uncle Wang said.
In fact, it is not so expensive, this car, the cost price of transportation, is more than 2,000 yuan.
In addition, it took so long, but Uncle Wang asked Chengxin to cherish it.
"Hehe, don't worry, uncle, then I'll push it away.
After speaking, Chengxin went to the handlebar of the car, and then pushed the money, and as a result, it was a bit heavy.
It should have been a long time since it moved, and the bearing was a little rusty, but Chengxin still gritted his teeth, pushed the car out of the shed, and then said goodbye to Uncle Wang and pushed the car back to the old house.
Fortunately, it didn't take long to go downhill around the village, so Chengxin didn't take long to push back to the old house, but he was tired enough.
The car is ready, and when the money is distributed in the afternoon, I will ask everyone to come over tomorrow with a flat rope or something.
Then go to the valley of the rocks to carry a stone, pay the same wages, and rest in the afternoon.
Well, this is how to do it, and then, Chengxin went to the new house again, and selected four logs that were not used up, almost twenty centimeters thick, and they didn't move after choosing, and they came over with an ox cart tomorrow.
But I don't know if the buffalo can pull two tons, plus the things of the cart itself?
But it should be about the same, after all, this car has four wheels, and even if the climb is almost hard, so many people should be able to handle it, right?
