Chapter 44 Transporting Stones

I went back to the old house to rest for a while, looked at the time, and it was past eight o'clock.

Then I found a basket and put a large pot of antimony pot cucumber and mung bean soup in a basket.

Then, he put the bowl prepared by his grandmother into another basket.

He went to the bedroom and took out three cigarettes and put them inside, then walked towards the wasteland with two baskets in his hand.

The cigarette was brought by Chengxin when he came back, and he knew that the cigarette invited someone, so he bought a few, which was not too expensive, a pack of ten yuan, and it was not like it if it was cheap.

This person who hasn't picked up the basket much, the basket is a little heavier, and the neck is shrunk, Chengxin is like this.

finally picked the wasteland, and Chengxin began to call.

"The old people all take a break and come to drink a bowl of pumpkin mung bean soup, Cheng Xin shouted at the top of his voice.

As early as when Chengxin came with a basket, everyone saw it, but they still removed their own grass, and when Chengxin called, everyone came.

It's like this in the countryside, even if you pay someone to work, you have to get something, what porridge with pickled cowpeas, boiled eggs, anyway, you have to get a little.

There is no need for Chengxin to serve them, everyone comes by themselves, takes a bowl from the basket, and then scoops the soup to drink, if you like pumpkin, get more pumpkin, and if you don't like it, drink more soup.

"Old-timers, one bag per person.

Chengxin took the cigarettes to the nearest person and told them to divide them, and the last two cigarettes, there were still eight packs left for Chengxin to take back, and no one took more.

After everyone drank the mung bean soup, they all sat on the foundation and bragged, what Lao Zhang, you are so old, it took a few hours to get this.

What a fart, I have a lot of trees here. Cutting down trees for a while.

Or what's wrong with someone's son, anyway, it's a bunch of people bragging.

Chengxin saw that everyone had eaten almost, packed up his things, and then carried the basket back to the old house.

When I returned to the old house, I didn't rest for the first time, I washed the pots and pans in the sink, put them in the basket, and then prepared to lie down and rest for a while.

In the afternoon, Chengxin didn't go to the wasteland to see, he lay in the old house and read a book, as an inspirational farmer, how can he learn a little agricultural knowledge?

Therefore, Chengxin reads books all afternoon, and he also reads Jingjing.

At seven o'clock in the afternoon, Chengxin took the money with him. Then he went towards the wasteland.

After watching it for a while, Chengxin felt that everyone's speed was quite fast, and in less than a day, everyone had nothing but three or four acres of land.

In this way, at most the day after tomorrow or the morning after tomorrow, this grass will basically be done.

However, the next digging and clearing of the grass roots is slow, and it may not be possible to complete the weeding time by twice the time.

In fact, this wasteland is planted with fruit trees anyway, and there is basically no need to completely clean up the grass roots in the field like Chengxin.

All you need to do is remove the grass from the ground, and the trees that don't know where they grow, and cut them down and dig up the roots.

However, Chengxin thinks it's better to clean it up, otherwise he will have to do it often in the future, so he may spend a lot less effort in the future.

Isn't it just spending money? The flowers that should be spent, as the saying goes, can not save a rich man in saving.

When it was almost dark, Chengxin also asked everyone to come over to receive the money and then get off work.

However, Chengxin found that his money was all 100, and there was no 50, and no one among the villagers came to work with 50 yuan, right?

In the end, Chengxin decided to send tomorrow's money, 300 per person, and casually told them to carry stones tomorrow and prepare a flat rope or something.

Everyone smiled and received the money, and they all replied that Chengxin would bring things at dawn tomorrow.

Then the three or two went back to their house together, and Chengxin also went back to the old house with the last person who received the money.

Another day, Cheng Xin got up early today, and when a villager came, he woke up, and then simply ate a bowl of noodles.

When he finished eating, everyone arrived.

Chengxin went to the cattle pen by himself and led the big buffalo out, and Chengxin also fed her a little spiritual liquid with a relatively high concentration last night, so that he could work hard today.

"Yo, old Zhong, you buffalo haven't been seen for a month, this is a big circle? Something's wrong, you've been a buffalo for more than two years, and you're still growing so fast?

Some villagers saw the buffalo pulled out by Chengxin and said with some confusion.

"Hehe, I don't understand this, but when my grandson comes back, I often take her out when it's okay.

"I should be in a good mood, so I have grown a little longer, the old man said with a smile.

"Some? You buffalo, there is no one in the village who has a lot of her? Tut-tut, it's so strong.

The villager who spoke was stunned, and the people on the other side nodded in agreement.

However, no one is stupid to say that they killed and sold meat, such a strong buffalo, that plough the field and pull goods is definitely a good hand, whoever has it, absolutely it is reluctant to sell.

Chengxin led the buffalo and walked towards the car borrowed yesterday, and the buffalo was not restless because of the large number of people, and obediently followed Chengxin.

When the buffalo stands between the two handlebars, it is grandpa's life, and Chengxin can't tie it to the shelf.

Just call the old man, and put the curved wooden shelf on the shoulders of the cow, and then start tying the knots.

It should be said that Chengxin is very heavy, so the old man set a few more ropes, and after the old man set it, Chengxin led the buffalo and walked towards the new house.

When they got to the outside of the house, they called a few people and carried the four logs out and put them on the ox cart.

Then the group walked across the small stone bridge, then turned left and headed towards the rocky valley to the west.

The group walked for almost an hour before they arrived at the stone that Chengxin had a crush on.

"Deng Ye, find someone to get more sand in the back, and then put the stone down, Cheng Xin said to a villager.

"Okay, then Deng Ye responded, and then took a few people to shovel the sand on the ground.

Shoveling sand over there, and a few longer ropes are tied to the stones here, and when they are released, they are pulled so that the stones don't fall too quickly.

Then don't fall to the sides, otherwise you will have to find a new delay if you break it.

When everything is ready, put several hemp ropes on the ground covered with sand, and then tie them to the logs, otherwise it will be difficult to wear the ropes if the stones fall?

In the end, I dug down a few dozen centimeters under the back of the stone, after all, the stone is not on the ground, and it is better to dig it like this and wait for it, right?

When everything was done, there were seven or eight people standing on each side pulling the ropes, and there were six in the back, and when the front ones were ready, the last six began to pull back vigorously.

After a few slow attempts, the stone leaned back, and at this time the people on both sides in front also straightened the rope, and then a group of people slowly walked forward, and the stone slowly fell backwards.

When the stone was put down, it was intact, and then a group of people began to tie the stone.

Four logs, two long and two short, the short one is placed horizontally, and the long one is placed vertically, and then the ropes on the ground are tied, and the first 12 and then 12 are ready to start lifting, and even the two grandchildren of Chengxin have joined in.

At this time, the big buffalo pulled the cart and stood in front, and the ground where the cart was placed also dug down, so that the cart was originally only twenty centimeters from the ground. Now it's only a few centimeters.

It can't be helped, if it's too high, these people will have a harder time putting the stones on the cart.

One of the people in front shouted a trumpet, and then everyone in front and back responded, and then they were ready.

When the people in front of them were shouting, a group of people also shouted hard, and then the stones on the ground slowly rose.

No one moved, waiting for the sound of the trumpet, and everyone followed suit, heading towards the ox cart.

This number is to give orders, so that everyone acts in unison, saves effort, and nothing happens.

But Chengxin, when he was working hard with his grandfather, his grandfather was fine, his neck was almost up to his shoulders.

Finally, step by step, a group of people finally slowly put the stone on the ox cart, and then began to untie the rope.
