When getting into the car, Fan Ming suddenly asked, "Brother, are you going to build a hot spring swimming pool after you go back?"

Zhang Taiping replied: "Yes, what's the matter?"

"Then I forgot to buy something!"

"Forgot to buy something?" Cai Yazhi also asked curiously.

"Swimsuit!" Fan Ming said, "When the swimming pool is built, you must wear a swimsuit when swimming. Let's buy it together now, so as to save trouble when you get it."

Cai Yazhi had never swum before, and she didn't know what happened to the swimsuit, so she turned her attention to Zhang Taiping.

After the swimming pool was built, you must wear a swimsuit when swimming, so she nodded and said, "Then buy it by the way." Then he turned to Wang Gui and said, "Then please wait a little longer."

Wang Gui waved his hands with a smile and said: "No trouble, no trouble, anyway, there is nothing to do in the afternoon, you go and buy it, I will wait here."

A group of people, large and small, returned to the street where the clothes were sold.I found a place to buy swimsuits, but they also sold women's items, and the swimsuits sold here were all women's swimsuits. Zhang Taiping was embarrassed to follow in, and he also stopped Wukong who wanted to follow up.

I found a more popular swimsuit store and bought two sets of swimsuits for myself.

Men buy things simply and quickly, especially people like Zhang Taiping who don’t want to get entangled in these small things. After the boss makes a price and feels right, he just pays and takes the things away. It takes less than 3 hours from entering the store to buying and leaving the store. minutes of time.But women are much slower in this regard. One is that they are so natural, and the other is that women always love beauty, and they carefully choose a swimsuit that fits and looks beautiful.

After less than half an hour, a group of people came out of the store, and the owner delivered them out personally. Although no one else came in within half an hour after a group of people filled the store, it was better because they bought a lot. A full hour can almost have the sales volume of a small store for half a day.

After leaving, Cai Yazhi glanced at Zhang Taiping with a red face, even Lu Feng looked at Zhang Taiping in a strange way, and Fan Ming winked at Zhang Taiping mischievously.

Looking at the reactions of everyone, Zhang Taiping knew that they had not only bought swimsuits for so long, they must have also bought other clothes, at least Cai Yazhi bought other clothes, otherwise she would not have the same expression when she came out.

It was past six o'clock in the afternoon when we got home, Cai Yazhi and Xing Rushui went into the kitchen to prepare dinner, and everyone else sat on the sofa or chairs to rest.After walking around the streets for a long time, I didn't know what kind of strength supported it. It was better than Zhang Taiping's ability to run and turn, but when I got home, I felt listless, with either my feet hurt or my legs were sore.

Zhang Taiping looked at the few people who were half lying on the sofa in front of the TV and said: "Now it's comfortable to take a bath in the past. It can not only wash away the dust on the road, but also relieve fatigue."

Fan Ming shook his head weakly and said, "I won't go now, I'm sleepy, let's take a rest first."

Only Ye Ling obeyed Zhang Taiping's words and took a bath first.

Zhang Taiping shook his head and smiled and walked outside, he didn't feel tired at all.Since the swimming pool is going to be built tomorrow, I will take the time to find some bricklayers.

And the most famous bricklayer in the village is undoubtedly old man Qian, who is also famous in carpentry. His two sons have all been taught by him to be qualified bricklayers, and even the second son, Qian Wang, has more than ten years old. A small construction team formed by people.Zhang Taiping walked straight towards Old Man Qian's house.

Although summer is coming to an end and autumn is approaching, the aftertaste of summer has not dissipated. The earth, which has been baked by the scorching sun for a day, has accumulated enough heat. If there is no wind in the evening, the sultry heat will be more exciting than the scorching heat of the day. uncomfortable.

Zhang Taiping's practice has greatly improved his physical fitness, and his ability to deal with cold areas is greatly improved. Even in winter, he will not feel so cold even if he only wears a shirt.But the resistance to heat is much worse. Although it is more resistant to heat than ordinary people, it is still limited. In this sweltering weather, I am sweating profusely, so I simply unbutton all the buttons and open my chest.

Old man Qian was lying on the reclining chair in the middle of the yard, and the small radio next to him was playing Qin opera, he was shaking his bamboo fan with his eyes closed, and would hum a few words along with the radio from time to time, looking at ease contented.

Zhang Taiping couldn't help sighing, his mind was calm and cool, he couldn't feel a trace of heat from the leisurely old man Qian.

Relying on the powerful sense of being a hunter, although Zhang Taiping walked up to him without making a sound, he was still spotted by Old Man Qian, who opened his eyes and said, "You are handsome, sit down." He took a bench from the side with his hands Pass it to Zhang Taiping.

After sitting down, Zhang Taiping said, "Old uncle is very leisurely."

"Hehe, it's okay to listen to Qin opera." The bamboo strip fan in Old Man Qian's hand began to shake slowly again.

"Come here and ask Uncle Qian for help."

"whats the matter?"

Zhang Taiping said: "I plan to build a swimming pool in the garden, I wonder if Uncle Qian has time?"

"I'm alone, I have plenty of time." Old man Qian sat up straight when he heard the business was discussed, "When are you going to start work?"

Zhang Taiping replied: "If it is possible, we can start construction tomorrow."

"I'm fine here, but are your things ready?" Old Man Qian asked.

"What do you need to prepare?"

"Bricks and cement."

"The last time I built a wooden house on the mountain, there were a lot of bricks left over, which should be enough. As for the cement, I can call at night and it will be delivered tomorrow." Zhang Taiping said.

Old Man Qian said, "That's good, I'll be there tomorrow. But can you hurry up?"

Zhang Taiping replied: "Naturally, the sooner the better."

"In this case, I will find two more people to help."

"Follow your own wishes, Uncle Qian."

Old Man Qian nodded and said, "Then what wages are you planning to give?"

Zhang Taiping thought for a while and said, "How about one person at eighty per day?"

"That's how it is." Old Man Qian nodded and said.To be honest, 80 yuan a day is considered a very good salary in the countryside, and old man Qian naturally has nothing to refuse.

After returning home at night, Zhang Taiping called the owner of the grocery store in the big village outside, and asked to send a piece of cement tomorrow morning.

In the early morning of the next day, old man Qian brought the two of them over early, carrying tools that might be used in his hands.

After old man Qian came, he didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly, "Where are you going to build the swimming pool, Marshal?"

"Let's build it in the middle of that lavender field." Zhang Taiping pointed in that direction and said.

"Let's go and have a look at the place first." Old Man Qian said.

Zhang Taiping brought the three of them under the big osmanthus tree, and said: "It's right here, just keep a distance from the big tree."

"You will ask to tell me about it." Old man Qian took out a small cowhide notebook and pencil from his pocket and said to Zhang Taiping.

Zhang Taiping thought for a while and said: "First of all, it is a circle with a radius of eight meters."

"Whether the radius is not the radius, you can just say the distance from this side to that side." Old Man Qian glanced at him and said.

"Um! Alright." Zhang Taiping choked for a moment, "The distance from here to there is 16 meters."

Old man Qian used a pencil to record it in a small leather-covered book.

Zhang Taiping continued: "The depth of two meters on the farthest side cannot be said to have submerged Yaya, and the depth of two meters inside cannot be said to have submerged Ye Ling. It cannot exceed a depth of 1.8 meters."

Old Man Qian said jokingly, "You have so many requests. I have to measure the heights of the two little girls later."

Zhang Taiping didn't care about old man Qian's joke. He still had the most important thing to say: "The bottom and surrounding walls are all inlaid with pebbles from the threshing field. The most important thing is to build a swimming pool above the swimming pool." A roof can keep out rain in summer and snow in winter.”

"Is the swimming pool still used like this in summer?" A person beside him asked curiously.This is also a question that old man Qian was curious about, so he stopped his pencil and waited for Zhang Taiping's explanation.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "I wonder if Uncle Qian knows about the spring in the orchard?"

Old man Qian was very familiar with what was in Zhang Taiping's orchard, nodded and said, "I know, although the spring water is warm in winter and cool in summer, you can't swim in winter, right?"

"Uncle didn't know that the water flowing out of that spring suddenly became hot the day before yesterday."

"Is there such a thing?" The three of them looked at each other, feeling a little unbelievable. Why did the spring suddenly burst into hot water after decades?

"Let's go! Go over and have a look!" Old Man Qian said as he temporarily put away his notebook.

Zhang Taiping led the three of them towards the orchard, and just as they turned in, they saw a long steaming line.

The four walked along the creek to the source, looked at the spring for themselves, and finally confirmed that the water flowing out of the spring was indeed hot water, and the temperature was not low.

Old man Qian couldn't help sighing: "The magic of the mountains is really beyond what people can expect." He has been running in the mountains for half his life before, and he has a kind of awe for the mountains, but he is the person who is most likely to accept this kind of change.

After reading it, he calmed down and took out the small book and said, "What are you asking for?"

Zhang Taiping said: "The roof on the top should be very large and can cover the entire swimming pool. It can be made of wood or bamboo."

Old man Qian thought about it, this is very troublesome, but it can be built successfully, but it will take a long time, but Zhang Taiping pays a lot of wages, more time will make more money, and no one will object.Then he said: "It can be built, but a few pillars need to be erected in the center of the pool. Let's use bamboo on the top. It is not only easy to build but also easy to repair."

Zhang Taiping nodded and said, "Just do what Uncle Qian said."

After negotiating the requirements, old man Qian asked Zhang Taiping to help eradicate the lavender on the ground, and then got Baihui to draw the line.

After the news that Zhang Taiping was going to build a swimming pool spread, people came to watch it. They were all surprised to see the spring turning into hot water.After such a long period of publicity, everyone already knows the value of hot springs. Now the springs in Zhang Taiping Orchard have suddenly turned into hot springs.The honesty of the villagers is one aspect, another convenience is that Zhang Taiping is too majestic and no one dares to have any bad thoughts.

That night, Zhang Taiping cut down the ten-year-old bamboo that had been cultivated before from the space. Each root was as thick as an arm, and it was more than enough to be used as a roof.

Due to the large amount of work, old man Qian called in a few more people to help.

In the next few days, Zhang Taiping fully cooperated with old man Qian and the others, and it was finally built on the sixth day.

The 16-meter-diameter swimming pool looks very atmospheric, and the colorful pebbles inlaid inside look beautiful.There are six concrete pillars protruding from the middle bottom, and all of them are wrapped with pebbles. Not only can they support the upper pillars, but they can also be used as a support to reduce the chance of accidents when swimming.Above it are six pine pillars fixed by cement, supporting a top in the shape of a dome, which is quite charming on the surface of the pool and under the big tree.

Fan Ming walked around the swimming pool with his hands behind his back and said in an old-fashioned way: "This swimming pool is very good!"

Zhang Taiping was amused by her appearance, and said, "Is it okay to spend so much time and so much stuff?"

After the pool is built, the next step is to consider the problem of drainage and water intake.First, a water outlet directly leading to the outside river was built, and then the hot spring water was brought in. In order to prevent the hot steam from being unsightly during the flowing process, a channel was specially built with bricks between the spring and the swimming pool, and then in the Put a layer of slate on top.

In the end, Fan Ming found the problem: "Brother, why don't you even have a changing room?"

Zhang Taiping also came to his senses, and felt that something was missing all the time. After hearing what she said, he realized that it was the lack of a changing room. Every time he went swimming, he couldn't change from the inside of the house and then run to the swimming pool.

So he said to Old Man Qian, "Well, Uncle Qian, let's build two more bamboo houses under the logarithm."

Old man Qian said with a smile: "This is easy." Then a group of people started working together, all of whom were veterans of this work, and after half a day, two exquisite and elegant bamboo houses were built.

Zhang Taiping said to Fan Ming, "Let's see what else is needed."

Fan Ming looked left and right again and said, "We need to put a few small coffee tables next to it. When we swim, put some fruit and tea next to it. People are very thirsty when swimming."

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "I don't need to bother Uncle Qian, I can make it later if I don't have wine."

Fan Mingyou said: "The last thing is to build a path leading from here to the house."

Zhang Taiping looked at it, and found that this opinion was indeed pertinent.Just in the past few days, the small road that everyone stepped on was paved with bluestone slabs and turned into a bluestone trail.

The hot spring water is poured into the pool, and the running water quickly washes away the soil inside. Although there is hazy mist on it, it can't block the colorful brilliance reflected from the bottom of the water, and it gives people a dreamlike feeling in the haze. .

"Can you swim in it now?" Fan Ming asked Zhang Taiping after the crowd dispersed.

Zhang Taiping said with a smile: "It's alright, you can swim if you want."

Don't worry about Fan Ming, people's moods will be different in different atmospheres.Swimming in a bathing suit is already very common in the city, but it would be a very surprising thing in the countryside, so Fan Ming couldn't let it go.

He whispered, "Let's swim at night when there is no one around."

"Up to you." No comments.
