When he was first caught, Meng Dayong hated Li Weidong the most.

After all, he was about to get through the trick, and the other party recognized the Luoyang shovel, causing him to be exposed.

Later, during the transformation, he deeply realized his 'mistake'.

But if you want to say that the real change is because of the theft of gold, when she was tortured by Gong Jiadong to extract a confession, and even when she was about to kill him.

If it weren't for Li Weidong, their uncle and nephew would have died.

It can be said that after that time, his hatred for Li Weidong disappeared completely.

In its place was a deep sense of gratitude.

Especially after recovering from his injuries, he did not go to prison, but stayed here, and even because of some of his good performances, his reform period was only two years.

In other words, in just seven hundred days and nights, he will be able to return home with his nephew.

When it was a long trip.

After almost recuperating from his injuries, he spontaneously devoted himself to transformation.

But Xu Zhiqiang took care of him and didn't let him follow those prisoners to cultivate in the wilderness, but arranged him in a greenhouse, which was not only warm but also easy.

After Li Weidong came over just now, he wanted to come forward and thank him in person, but because he knew the identities of the two, he didn't dare.

"Leader, are you looking for me?"

Meng Dayong lowered his body and came outside with Li Weidong.

"How's the body? Is it better? ”

"It's all right, it doesn't affect the work at all."

Meng Dayong didn't expect Li Weidong to care about his physical condition, and he couldn't help but be even more moved.

Even if he moved a little more now, it would still hurt a lot, but he didn't care at all.

"Come with me to the tomb."

Li Weidong said hello, and the two came to the ancient tomb behind the mountain bag.

At this moment, a large part of the ravine has been excavated, and the entrance has been leveled.

At the entrance, an iron gate was even installed, mainly to prevent anyone from 'accidentally' entering.

Ever since the people from the Institute of Archaeology left, this side has been locked up.

What should be dug up inside is basically dug up.

Even if there are some left, they are either buried deep or have no value.

When Li Weidong arrived here, someone immediately opened the iron gate, and then took a flashlight and led the way in front.

Entering the main tomb, this place has long been emptied, and even the heavy sarcophagus has been taken away by the people of the archaeological research institute.

After turning around, Li Weidong had a clear understanding of the scale of this ancient tomb, one main burial chamber and two burial rooms.

The area of the main burial chamber is about thirty or forty square meters, and the interior is three meters high, which is quite empty.

Hundreds of years have passed, but it still looks sturdy, showing no signs of collapse.

"I'm going to turn this place into an anti-aircraft shelter, what do you think?"

After Li Weidong finished looking, he asked Meng Dayong on the side.

The other party is already good at digging holes, although Shi Wenbai did not hand over the ancestral craft to him, but he has followed the other party, more or less, he still has some understanding of how to excavate and build ancient tombs.

In other words, although Meng Dayong has not gone to school for a few days, let alone systematically studied the structure of architecture, it does not mean that he cannot do this.

"Ah, the Vault? Pretty good. ”

Meng Dayong never thought that Li Weidong would ask for his opinion, let alone that the other party brought him here to mean this.

Just along the way, he was still terrified.

"What about the difficulty? How much can be enlarged without collapsing, firmly? ”

Li Weidong asked a question of concern.

In the eyes of many people in later generations, digging an air-raid shelter is like a ground mouse, which has no meaning and will only waste manpower and material resources.

But in fact, at the moment, the air-raid shelter is even a hard and fast rule, which is correct.

Whether it is a factory, a small county town, or even a rural area, this thing is indispensable.

Even in the afterlife, it seems that there is no such thing on the surface.

But in fact, the basements, underground garages, and even many large underground shopping malls in those communities are essentially civil air defense projects.

Especially in densely populated areas and large communities, if there is no design of the civil air defense layer, it will not be approved at all.

So when Li Weidong said that he would transform this place into an air-raid shelter, Zhao Haifeng didn't even hesitate.

If it weren't for the new construction of the farm and the shortage of prisoners, he would have to pay attention to this matter personally.

Now that Li Weidong has taken the initiative to take the job, it is too late for him to be happy.

Meng Dayong listened to Li Weidong's words and did not answer immediately, but thought about it seriously.

Even compare it from time to time.

And Li Weidong was not in a hurry, and waited patiently.

After more than ten minutes, Meng Dayong spoke: "Leader, if you follow your requirements, five more spaces like this can be dug up, but each one must be separated by a certain distance. ”

"Five?"

Li Weidong groaned, even if the current main tomb is calculated according to forty square meters, digging five more, adding up to six.

The total actual usable area can reach more than 200 square meters.

It sounds like a lot of land, but it's only the size of a large flat floor.

Even if it's stuffed, how many people are there?

It was a far cry from what he had expected.

"Can it be bigger?"

"Yes, but in that case, you will need materials such as cement and rebar, and the amount of work will increase a lot."

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll take care of it when the time comes, I just want to know, what scale can this place reach in the end? How big is the area? ”

For others, it is difficult to get these supplies, but for Li Weidong, it is not a big problem.

Just the rolling mill owes him a lot of favors, and if he wants to buy a few cars of steel bars, it's still no problem.

As for cement, the last time he contacted and exchanged New Year's goods, he knew the head of the procurement department of a cement factory.

"Ten, if there is reinforced concrete, I can dig ten more holes like this, the kind that will not collapse even if it is three or five hundred years."

Meng Dayong obviously heard that Li Weidong attached great importance to this place, so he gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"Well, yes, I'll find someone to assist you when I go back, as long as this place is built, even if you make meritorious service and reduce your sentence, the day it is built will be when you complete the transformation."

Li Weidong is not the kind of 'stingy' person, as long as Meng Dayong works hard, it is not impossible to give him a little sweetness.

It's just a little sweetness in his eyes, and for Meng Dayong, it is definitely a big surprise.

Just now, he had calculated that digging ten more such holes would take a year at most.

Doesn't that mean that in a year's time, he will be able to go home?

What is the grace of recreation?

That's it.

"Leader, I, I'll kowtow to you."

Meng Dayong was so excited that he was about to kneel.

Not only because of this time, but also because Li Weidong saved his life before.

"Stop, what age is it, you still kowtow at every turn, do you want me to make mistakes?"

Li Weidong grabbed the other party.

"If you want to thank me, you should have renovated this place sooner."

"Don't worry, I will."

Meng Dayong has already decided that from tomorrow, no, from today, he will be rooted here.

When to remodel, when to leave!

It's just that Meng Dayong's determination has just been established, and he obediently followed away.

As a rehabilitated inmate, he doesn't have much autonomy, and he doesn't want to go back to his cell at night?

Think beautifully.

Li Weidong solved another matter, and he was in a good mood.

The reason why he pays so much attention to the bomb shelter is not just to fulfill the hard targets of the farm, but for a purpose.

Nominally, it was a bomb shelter, but in his eyes, it was a refuge.

But this refuge is not for him.

It's about his next step.

If the greenhouse is the first step for him to gain a foothold on the Sixth Farm, then this refuge is the second step he envisions.

On the surface, the greenhouse is obviously more important, as long as it is successful, it will increase the grain production of the farm, and even once it is popularized and achieves remarkable results, it is equivalent to another talisman that is no less than a first-class merit.

But from the perspective of the future, this refuge may play a bigger role.

It's just that it's too early to tell.

The shelter takes a year, and now, it's the end of the year, and 1963 is about to begin.

So even if it could be put into use, it would be in 1964, and it could be even later.

The only thing he wasn't sure about was whether he was on Sixth Farm at the time.

But in any case, this is all the pawn he fell.

Sooner or later, you'll need it.

Li Weidong left the ancient tomb, went to the cafeteria again, and asked the other party to make two more dishes for Professor Zhao in the greenhouse at noon.

At the same time, he also met Zhang Ruolan.

The other party's face was full of crampedness, probably because he also knew that he was in trouble and almost affected Li Zhankui.

She was already a little unconfident, and she made such a thing happen just a few days after she came, for fear that Li Weidong would dislike her and drive her away.

After all, she knows very well that the reason why she can come here to work is all because of Li Zhankui.

"I gave Brother Da Kui two days off, let him go back and discuss with the family, and strive for you to register the record as soon as possible, what do you think?"

Unexpectedly, Li Weidong not only left without turning around, but even talked to her.

"Huh?"

Zhang Ruolan obviously didn't expect Li Weidong to tell her this.

Even she didn't know about Li Zhankui's homecoming.

More importantly, what did Li Weidong say?

Let them register it sooner?

At this time, there were still many people in the cafeteria, and when Li Weidong came in, they secretly looked over here.

And Li Weidong's words were not deliberately avoided, so the people next to him heard them clearly.

Especially when the other party is talking about Brother Da Kui.

Coupled with Zhang Ruolan in front of her, it is self-evident who she is referring to.

It seems that Xu Zhiqiang did not lie last time.

People are not only from the same village, but also obviously very close.

Otherwise, why don't you see Li Weidong sending others to work on the farm?

"Then I'll be waiting to eat your candy."

Li Weidong didn't care about Zhang Ruolan's reaction at all, nodded straight at her, then glanced at the nervous canteen officer next to him, and turned to leave.
