On the firewood stack in the front yard, there were a lot of short wooden strips that Chen Fan had simply processed two days ago, and these short wooden strips were the materials he was going to use to make his drawing board.

In the two acres of land that was cleared out later, there were still some scattered miscellaneous trees, so he chose a rather stout lime tree, cut a few branches to make materials, and after a simple drying process, he started to make it today.

The "wide benches" used for carpentry, the tool tables, and the tool boxes are also made of miscellaneous trees.

Although these miscellaneous trees cannot be used for furniture or building timber, they can barely be used for small things.

Chen Fan has a pencil in his ear, a tape measure in his hand, and tools such as ink cartridges, triangular rulers, saws, planers, and chisels next to him.

As soon as he cut the wooden strips into planks, Captain Yang's voice sounded at the gate of the courtyard, "Ouch, you still do carpentry?" ”

Chen Fan straightened his waist, put down the tools in his hand, and said with a smile, "If you think it's interesting, just play around, anyway, they are all miscellaneous trees, and if they are scrapped, they will be burned as firewood." ”

With a perfunctory remark, he clapped his hands and greeted him, "Why did the captain come here today, do you have something to order?" ”

Then he turned around and pointed to the "multi-purpose room" inside, "Go inside and sit down and say, I'll make you tea." ”

As he spoke, he was going inside.

"No, no, no."

Captain Yang waved his hand again and again, and said with a smile at him, "Isn't your homestead set in a location, I'll bring someone over to build a boundary marker for you." ”

Boundary Pillars?

Chen Fan was immediately overjoyed, and he could start construction after laying the boundary monument, even if he didn't wait for the farm to be idle, he could slowly do some work to lay the foundation and build the wall.

He hurriedly smiled, "Then I have to come in and have a cup of tea, otherwise if I say it, people will not say that I don't know etiquette." ”

Then with a smile, Masashi said, "In this way, just in time for noon, let's have a drink here." ”

As he spoke, he was going to the kitchen and asked Jiang Lili to cook a few more dishes.

Captain Yang hurriedly grabbed him, smiled, and said, "Drinking is free, and you have to plow the fields and work in the afternoon, and the next time you want to build a house, you can't do it without wine." Forget about drinking tea, just give a cigarette to entertain. ”

Then he lowered his voice and whispered, "It's all from this team, go over later, hand them one of your peony cigarettes first, and then give one when you're done, and the meaning will be there." ”

Chen Fan understood what he meant, peony cigarettes are 4 cents and 9 packs, and two cigarettes are 4 points 9, which is equivalent to half a pack of economic cigarettes.

But two cigarettes are inevitably too few, how can anyone ask someone to help only give two cigarettes?

He thought for a while, and also whispered, "Captain, on the second day of junior high school, the Donghai cigarettes sent by the parents of the students in the veterinary class are still there, why don't you give Bao Donghai alone?" ”

A pack of Donghai cigarettes is 1 Mao 7, which is worth two packs of economic cigarettes, and the gap has opened up all of a sudden.

Captain Yang smacked his lips and said angrily, "The team asks someone to help, it's a pack of economy all day long, this bit of work is done in three or two, it's enough to give half a pack, you give Donghai, what should others do?" ”

The corners of Chen Fan's mouth twitched slightly, he thought that Captain Yang wanted to help him save money, but it turned out that this was the reason, and he was self-inflicted.

But there are only peonies and the East China Sea in my room, and there is no economic smoke.

You can buy one for 8 cents, and you don't need a ticket, but Chen Fan just hasn't bought it, so you can't really give it a cigarette.

"In this way,"

Captain Yang said suddenly, "Don't worry about the meal, you can give a pack of cigarettes, there will be four people later, I will give you 4 packs of economy, you pay me back two packs of Donghai, I take advantage of your two cents." ”

Chen Fan pouted and said, "If you want to say that, that day Company Commander Zhang came over, and you also sponsored me 5 catties of wine, did I say anything?" Why don't I give you the money for the drink? ”

Captain Yang immediately crossed his hands and said angrily, "Hey, if you want to say that, then my Xiaoju is here with you, eating the fish you caught every day, and still making up classes to learn knowledge, do I have to pay you tuition?" ”

Chen Fan blinked, "Then, what do you want to say, ......what do you want to say?"

Captain Yang stared at him, "Say, keep talking, when you're done, I still have a Yang Zhijun make-up class waiting here." And last time, Xiaoju earned more than 50 yuan. ”

Chen Fan raised his hand and surrendered, "Then don't settle the general account, you hurry up and get the cigarette." ”

After a pause, he asked, "Eh, when are they coming?" ”

Captain Yang pointed to the back, "It's already over." ”

Chen Fan's face fell, "Yes, I'll go over and say hello first, and you can help me get a cigarette." ”

Captain Yang patted his pocket and smiled, "It's been ready for a long time." ”

Chen Fan squeezed out a stiff smile, this old guy!

ran into the room and took two packs of Donghai cigarettes to Captain Yang, and the two of them strode towards the back.

Captain Yang said as he walked, "I originally wanted to help you find a few more people and clean up the entire land behind, but you took a few of their girls to finish it, which saved a lot of effort." ”

Chen Fan said with a smile, "So in the future, don't mention anything about Yang Zhijun and Yang Ju, you help me and I help you, how can it be so clear." ”

Captain Yang smiled and nodded, "Well, that's the truth." ”

After a pause, he asked again, "What are you going to do here, and do you want to level the slope a bit?" ”

Chen Fan shook his head, "That's not necessary, I'll just make a green brick path when I go back." ”

He can burn the bricks himself, and he doesn't have to buy them outside.

He turned his head to look at Captain Yang and said with a smile, "It's another place on this small dirt slope, I want to transform it, I don't know if the team agrees." ”

Captain Yang looked at him in surprise, "Transformation? How to transform? ”

Chen Fan gestured, "I just want to clean up the surrounding miscellaneous forests and plant fir trees instead, the miscellaneous trees are of little value, and they don't grow big, so I can only chop firewood, and if you plant fir trees, it can be of some use." ”

Captain Yang suddenly slowed down, frowned and walked forward for a while, before he grabbed him and whispered, "This thing is not easy to do, you said that this tree planting, is it yours or everyone?"

Count yours, there are no regulations in this regard, count everyone, usually can't be busy with other things, how can you have the time to open up the wasteland and plant trees.

Besides, there is also a lot of wood on the slope where we live in front, and there is no need to reclaim here, and it is estimated that no one is willing to do it, so you had better think about it again. ”

Chen Fan knew it in his heart, saying that he wanted him to "think about it more", but in fact, he politely refused.

He smiled and nodded, "Okay, then I'll think about it again and talk about it later." ”

But in his mind, it seems that his "forest plan" needs to be adjusted.

It's impossible to give up, and who doesn't want to have a better environment around them unless they don't live here in the future.

It's a big deal to get some fir branches to take cuttings to plant, fir trees can also be planted by cuttings, and the survival rate is not low, just early spring is the most suitable season for cuttings, tomorrow I will get some fir branches to come and plug in.

In a few years, when the cedar trees grow taller, they will be able to contract the land.

There is no one to fight with this piece of dirt buns, right? As a villager in this village, it is okay to contract this piece of sloping land by yourself, even the educated youth points in front of you, or simply buy it directly, right?

Just when Chen Fan was silently making a small calculation, they also walked to the back.

There were four people standing at the bottom of the slope, and when they saw Chen Fan coming, one of them immediately shouted, "Teacher Chen, I still want you to click on the location, let's dig a pit so that this monument can be filled in." ”

Chen Fan quickly quickened his pace, walked over and looked, the so-called boundary monument is actually a square column-shaped stone, at the top of the stone, engraved with the words "Chen Fan Boundary", and then on the other two adjacent sides, two arrows are engraved respectively, which means that it should point to the boundary line.

There are four stone pillars in total, which are located at the four corners of the residential base.

Captain Yang walked over, took out four packs of economic cigarettes and threw them to them, "This is a little bit of heart that Teacher Chen gave you." ”

The four of them took it with a grin, and thanked them without saying anything.

Chen Fan said with a smile, "Trouble masters, the position I chose is at the top of the slope, and I have to go up a bit." ”

This boundary monument can only be hit on the corner of the homestead, and cannot exceed the area of the homestead, even if the yard is reserved, it cannot be exceeded, otherwise it will not match the homestead certificate.

One of them said with a smile, "The top of the slope is good, the top of the slope is not waterlogged, and it is not afraid of flooding when it rains, okay, we will carry it up." ”

Just by hitting a few stone pillars, you can get a pack of cigarettes, and they are happy to go to work without delaying work.

Four stone pillars were tied together, and the four of them stood on either side, hanging the rope with a flat pole, picking up one after the other and walking up.

After a while, when he reached the top of the slope, Chen Fan pointed to a wooden stake he had laid in advance and said, "This is the position." ”

Then he looked at Captain Yang and said with a smile, "Captain, you measure it again, don't make too much." ”

Captain Yang was not ambiguous, and immediately took out a rope marked with a scale, and said with a cigarette in his mouth, "It's a quantity, if you dare to occupy more, it will definitely not work!" ”

Then he threw the rope to another person, "Third brother, help pull a string." ”

Chen Fan looked at the person and suddenly remembered, this "third brother" seems to be Yang Zhijun's father?

In the blink of an eye, he looked thoughtfully at the rope that was being pulled back and forth, and guessed in his heart that I am afraid that the area of his homestead today is considered "indoor area", and most of them have no exterior walls!

Sure enough, after the measurement, Captain Yang immediately put away the rope and shouted, "Teacher Chen is at a high level, it's not bad at all, it's just that the stake is in it, when you dig the pit, just dig it outside next to that stake." ”

The four of them all giggled as if they didn't see it, and when he finished speaking, they responded with a bang and began to dig the boundary marker pit.

The pit is not big, but it is a bit deep, and it is obvious that a large section of the boundary monument will be planted into it.

It's just that Chen Fan still underestimated the craftsmanship of these people, and after they dug the pit, the wooden stake was still firmly inserted in place, and it didn't even touch the edge of the pit.

Then bury the stone pillar strip into the pit, only keep a short section, expose the three words "Chen Fanjie" and two arrows, and when you go back to build a house, this stone pillar will be part of the outer wall.

And the wooden strip that Chen Fan inserted himself was still more than a foot away from here.
