slack farmer in the wasteland

Chapter 41
Qi Yue's message came back very quickly, and within three days after sending the blueprint, there was a reply saying that someone had been found to do it, and he had also helped to pay the wages first. The waiting furniture.

Canghai's daily activities are planting trees, planting trees endlessly, digging holes and filling soil day after day, making Canghai almost become a tree planting machine.Unfortunately, this matter cannot be left to others now, because Cang Hai is going to plant his own node tree, and each tree must have deep roots and be connected with the small tree of the Seed of Life underground.

Finally, before the rainy season came, Canghai planted all the bottle trees, surrounded Fenghuanggou and Jiazituo, and the land surrounded by Canghai was considered a rolling hillside. There must be more than 1 mu, which is the largest piece of land.

Next, Canghai plans to plant some bamboo in the ditches. Of course, balsa wood has to be planted. This thing grows quickly, and it is also good at maintaining water and soil. In short, Canghai’s task this year is to plant things. Let's talk about a little life on the ground.

Generally speaking, the rainy season is not long. It lasts for almost a month, and the land that should be planted by the villagers has also been planted, and the farm work at hand has come to an end.

And at this time, the water tower in the village is about to be completed. Now a water wall more than ten meters high is raised from the ground. Now it looks like there are only red bricks and four huge cement pillars. The two platforms in the middle are used for reinforcement. The topmost platform is where the water storage tank is placed.

Today everyone in the village, including Cang Hai, gathered under the water tower, because today is an important day for the whole village, the tap water is going to be connected.

But there is a lot of work today, pulling the steel water storage tank to the top of the water tower and placing it in the pre-built slot, waiting for the water storage tank to be placed and connecting the pipes.

The weight of the water storage tank is not light, and manpower is not enough to reach an altitude of more than ten meters. Fortunately, there are a lot of livestock in the village, and five or six mules, donkeys and cattle are enough to support them.

Early in the morning, Hu Shijie led the village gentlemen to start harnessing the animals. Harnessing five or six animals together, and getting them all to give full play is also a technical job. Because now the whole village knows that Cang Hai's donkey is ugly, but it is extremely strong. A donkey pulls more than a cow, and it can't be justified if it is not in the head.

"Brother, my side is ready." Li Licheng said to Hu Shijie after harnessing his family's Daqing mule and hooking up the main cable.

Hu Shijie nodded, then turned around and asked, "Wen Kui, how are you doing?"

"I'm fine here too!"

"Then everyone try it!" Hu Shijie said.

"okay!"

"Master Wu, let's try it first?"

Hearing everyone nodding, Hu Shijie yelled at Wu Bing.

At this time, Wu Bing and two workers were standing on the top of the tower, and a huge iron gourd was hanging from the shelf on the top of the tower.A wrist-thick cable was passed through the gourd, one end was suspended from the cattle cable below, and the other end was tied to the water storage tank on the ground.

Wu Bing nodded, reached out and grabbed the cable, and waved at Hu Shijie: "Slow down, slow down at the beginning."

Hu Shijie nodded in response.

"Come on!"

With a soft sound, several animals were led by the owners of each family and walked forward slowly.

Cang Hai was standing on the top right now, holding the ugly donkey's bridle with one hand, while gesturing for the ugly donkey to move forward. Soon the cable tightened and the animal stopped.

"Drive! Drive!"

With the sound of Hu Shijie's soft drink, all the animals exerted their strength almost at the same time, and the water storage tank was lifted up, and slowly began to rise to the top of the water tower.

The combined force of several animals was not small, and the water storage tank was raised little by little in a smooth manner. It took about ten minutes for the water storage tank to reach the top of the water tower.

At this time, the problem came. The water tower is standing upright. If you want to stand up the water tower, you have to lift it up. You have to lift the whole bottom to fit it into the prefabricated slot. The original idea is now met. The problem is that the three people on the top of the tower have no strength to push the water storage tank into the slot.

After trying a few times, Wu Bing shouted to the people below: "No, this won't work, we have to do it the other way around."

If you can’t hear it, then everyone has to put down the jar slowly. It’s convenient to pull it up, but it’s not easy to put it down. The animals are not very used to going backwards, so the men who are leading the animals must be careful. To hold the tension of the cable, but also to make their own animals go backwards.

Cang Hai held the ugly donkey by the bridle, and held the ugly donkey's nose with the other hand, motioning for it to retreat slowly. The ugly donkey was very obedient, but the big mule of Li Licheng's family was a bit out of control. Huo would turn around from time to time, and Li Licheng was so angry that he kept cursing.

"Licheng, put down your temper, you're going to call me a fool for being a good animal." Hu Shijie yelled at Li Licheng.

For the people in the valley, livestock is very important property, and Hu Shijie still cares about livestock, even if it is not his family's livestock.

"Stop, appease the big green mule" Hu Shijie issued an order.

The entire cattle team stopped, and Hu Shijie took over Li Licheng's work, letting Li Licheng hold his own mule.

If this Hu Shijie is really capable, he stroked the big green mule twice, and the big green mule quickly became quiet.

"Okay, slow down!"

Following Hu Shijie's order, the cattle team slowly retreated, and the water storage tank in midair also slowly sank.I didn't feel it when I pulled it, but it took almost half an hour to put it down, and when the jar fell to the ground, both people and animals were sweating.

Seeing that the pot had fallen to the ground, Wu Bing and the others also got down from the water tower and fixed the pot again. This time, the places where they were pulled were dropped one by one, and the chain that was originally attached to the head of the pot was hung at the end of the pot.

"We did it last time, try again!"

Wu Bing checked the jar, felt it was safe, and said to Hu Shijie.

After hearing this, Hu Shijie replied: "Take a break and let the animals catch their breath."

Wu Bing nodded, and then led his men to climb to the top of the tower again.

On Hu Shijie's side, the onlookers were asked to go back and get some fodder, and divided them up to feed the animals at hand. Not only were they fed the fodder, each animal was also fed an egg, which had never happened before. treatment.

After a half-time 10-minute break, Hu Shijie signaled everyone to get ready to work.

Cang Hai was the first to stand up, leading the ugly donkey to his position, and soon everyone followed Cang Hai to their respective positions.

With Hu Shijie yelling, the animals began to pull up again. With the previous experience, this time the water storage tank was raised more steadily, and the time was slightly shorter by 2 minutes.

When the pot reached the top platform, Wu Bing stuck the bottom of the pot with a wooden cushion, and the three of them held the bottom of the pot together, asking the people below to use more force, and everyone worked together to drag the pot halfway to the platform superior.

The jar lay horizontally on the platform and stabilized. Wu Bing and the others untied the chain tied to the bottom of the jar and hung it on the upper middle part of the jar.

Waiting for it to be fixed again, he gestured for the people below to urge the animals again.

When the jar was half tilted down, the three of Wu Bing worked together to push the bottom of the jar out of the slot. There was still room for manipulation, so the three of Wu Bing fastened the chain binding the jars to the top of the jar again. With the force of the animals, the bottom of the jar was perfectly stuck together with the slot.

After checking it, Wu Bing waved at the crowd below: "OK! Everything is perfect!"

Hearing Wu Bing's words, everyone at the bottom of the tower let out a sigh of relief.

"Okay?" Hu Shijie turned to look at Cang Hai.

Cang Hai nodded: "Okay, connect the water pipe immediately, and wait for the water pump to work, and our village will be able to use tap water without leaving the house."

Wei Wenkui said anxiously: "Then hurry up, don't waste time."

Cang Hai heard that he handed the donkey into Hu Shijie's hands, went to the foot of the tower and shouted at Wu Bing: "Can you connect the water pipe?"

"Then there is so much going on, the water injection pipes here have not been connected, and the railings around the platform have not been welded, and it will take another hour. This is a situation where everything is going well." Wu Bing rushed to Canghai with a smile roared.

"I've been waiting for these days, so how many hours are left?" The worker who was also on the top jokingly said to Cang Hai.

Cang Hai replied: "I have been waiting for this moment for too long, so I am only anxious at this time."

"I'm anxious to eat the non-hot tofu, and wait with peace of mind. These water pipes must be connected perfectly for you. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, why don't you scold us behind our backs?" Wu Bing was busy He said with a laugh while removing the chain from the tank.

Now the water tower project only needs to be cleaned up. The biggest workload is just pasting the body of the tower with white imitation stone bricks. All the work can be completed in about three or four days.

"Just wait!" Cang Hai returned to Hu Shijie and the others.

At first, everyone was not so excited, but when the water tower was about to be healed, everyone seemed to be a little impatient. The young and old could not wait for the water tower to be healed now. They ran home and turned the faucet at home. The clear well Water will flow out from the faucet.

Things have to be done one by one. What everyone can do now is to send the animals back to the barn, and then find a slope to squat down and watch Wu Bing and the others work while chatting.

As soon as the water tank was placed in place, there were not only three Wu Bing on the tower, but two more people started to weld the fence around the top circle of the platform, some welded and others brushed the welded iron railings. rust paint.

When everyone was squatting together and chatting, suddenly there were a few dogs barking, and everyone turned their heads to find that the village dog was fighting with the tiger head again.
