Siheyuan: This driver is too arrogant

Chapter 438 This is our family’s ten thousand acres of pasture! (Please subscribe)
"Uncle, your look..."

It was too hot to work, so Morigen took off his old sheepskin coat and Mongolian robe, held a shovel, and dug soil in a large pit. A wooden frame was set up at the wellhead. The dug soil was pulled up through a rope and poured into the pit. Go far away.

Now they have dug down more than five meters, but there is still no underground water. Mo Rigen crawled out a little anxiously, "Weidong, you are here, help me look for it, see where there is water, there are no buffaloes or sheep." I’m going to die of thirst!”

"Uncle's thinking is wrong. Think about it, how can there be water on such a hillside?" Liu Weidong pointed to the land at his feet, "It stands to reason that water flows to lower places, and of course it has to find the lowest place on our grassland. "

"The terrain is the lowest? How do you know?"

Mo Rigen was still confused, Liu Weidong smiled and said, "My uncle, how could you be stumped by such a simple question!"

Liu Weidong laughed loudly, "Where did the water gather when it rained in previous years?"

"Where is it? It must be Gada in Hongxing Lake..."

"Isn't this the end? You are still struggling here, it's really..." Liu Weidong called Batu and others to come out of the well, picked up a shovel and filled the well, stamped the soil on his feet, "Let's go Take a look at the lake!”

As Batu walked, he complained about Morigen's nonsense. You don't even think about digging a well. How can you drill it several miles away from the tribe, and then you will have to drive the cattle and sheep to feed it?
Morigen's old face turned red, he picked up the horse whip and gave his horse a hard smack on the buttocks.

You little bastard, you're the only one who can force me to do this!
Annoying!
There was only a tiny bit of mud left at the bottom of Hongxing Lake, with a few loaches crawling around in it. Liu Weidong reined in his mount, jumped off, walked to the bottom of the lake first, squatted down and dug out a handful of dark mud with his hands, and secretly praised it. These are all good fertilizers!
The herdsmen all gathered around, looking expectantly at the leader looking for water for them.

"That's it!"

Liu Weidong walked out of the lake, came behind the stacked dam, pointed to a place and said.

"Can this work?"

"Hongxing Lake has been storing water for many years. The water has been seeping down all year round. The water content in this circle is higher than that on the average hillside." Liu Weidong squatted down and dug at the mud below, and soon turbid water seeped out of the mud. Water, everyone was happy when they saw it!
"Then what are you talking about? Let's get started!"

Morigen took the lead, set up a stand, picked up a shovel, and started digging.

"Give me a shovel!"

Liu Weidong also helped. The two of them dug less than a foot when they saw the water at the bottom of the water gathering up and covering their knees.

"Deep enough."

Liu Weidong asked Morigen to stop and look up at the sky, "Last year to this year it has been an El Niño phenomenon. There is generally little rain and drought in the north. From the beginning of winter this year, it will be a La Niña phenomenon. By then there will be rain in the north."

"Which village is Ershino from?"

Liu Weidong looked at the old man speechlessly and patted the dirt on his body, "Uncle, come up!"

Wells alone were not enough, so Liu Weidong drove to Qili and bought back a lot of reinforced concrete stones and filters. He also asked Morigen and others to burn a lot of charcoal for later use.

The iron buckets stood on the ground, and iron cages were made of steel bars and wires. They were then filled with concrete mixed with stones and cement, and the iron buckets were pulled out to expose them to the sun.

"Guess, eldest daughter, what does dad do with this?" Liu Weidong squatted on the ground, sweating profusely while playing "mud work". The little boy ran over, looking excited and eager to try.

"Well..." The little girl looked at the concrete pipes that had been made, and then looked at the well in the distance. Suddenly, an idea flashed, "Dad is going to put these into the well!"

"So smart!" Liu Weidong gave a thumbs up, "Then why do you think dad poked so many holes in this pipe?"

Uh……

The eldest lady was a little confused, Liu Weidong smiled, "Silly girl, of course you let the groundwater seep into the well! Otherwise, if a large pipe is erected straight through, the water will be trapped outside, and there will still be no water in the well. !”

"Ah..." The little one suddenly realized that this was what happened!

"Dad, let me help you!"

"Okay, you smear all the cement on the surface of the pipe, yes, that's it. Girl, you have to remember to be good at practical tools, yes, use this semicircular trowel, isn't it very round?"

"Yeah, daddy's work is so fun!" The little boy took a trowel and wiped the cement pipe until it was shiny, with an excited look on his face, "I won't go to school anymore, I will work at home from now on!"

"Silly daughter, by going to school you can learn where the water flows, where to dig a well, and what cattle and sheep you can raise to make a lot of money..." Liu Weidong smiled and squeezed his daughter's muddy hands, "Going to school is not the purpose, the purpose is to learn culture. ah!"

"Yeah! Then I'd better go to school!" The little one giggled.

this stupid kid...

"Dad, why are there chipped teeth on every cement pipe? It looks like when my brother lost his teeth, hehe!"

"Look, it's back to studying." Liu Weidong lifted a heavy cement pipe and put it on another solidified cement pipe. He turned it gently and the gaps between the two pipes overlapped little by little. , and finally clicked together, making it a perfect fit.

"Ah, that's it, I learned it again!"

The little one jumped with joy!

"Silly boy, you still have a lot to learn!" Liu Weidong wiped his hands, picked up his daughter and spun around in a circle. There is a saying that goes well: Parents are biased.

Of the three children, including the unborn fourth, Liu Weidong likes his daughter the most, and she is also very close to him. She often stays by his side and listens to his words and deeds.

No wonder people say that my daughter was my little lover from a previous life!

Little Gege's favorite is the third child. The third child is neither stupid nor stupid. Their excellent genes determine that they cannot give birth to a child that is too stupid, but the brain circuit is a bit peculiar.

When Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, the little guy jumped over and hugged Liu Weidong's thigh, "Hoho, caught daddy. Is daddy angry with me? Hohoho, I'm going to turn into a pile of cow dung, and butterflies will come." Flying over!"

"If you turn into cow dung, you won't attract butterflies, but dung beetles!" Liu Weidong laughed, picked up his old son and kissed him, "Look at your little face, it looks like a dog's butt. Wait a minute. Get some water and wash it off immediately!"

"Woof woof!" The third child smiled playfully.

This brat!
Liu Weidong made more than a dozen reinforced concrete water pipes, and after they were dry, they were hoisted with pulleys. The Odengrad guy volunteered to go down to the bottom of the well, stood in waist-deep muddy water, and called on everyone to smooth out the water pipes one by one. Go down.

"Seeing that there is no eldest daughter, the pulley block can save effort. Its calculation formula is like this..." Liu Weidong took the opportunity to give his daughter some popular science about the principles of mechanics. The little girl was stunned for a while.

Dad, I haven’t gone to elementary school yet!
After lowering the cement pipe, it was time to sprinkle sand and charcoal underneath. The little boy held Liu Weidong's arm and listened to him talk about the principles of charcoal and sand filtering water. He deeply felt that an ordinary well requires so much knowledge!
"Come on, help me, big guy!"

The last huge cement board with a middle opening was lifted up by everyone and placed directly above the well. After installing the iron frame and the windlass in the reserved slot, the well was considered a success.

Morigen shook the windlass and drew out the first bucket of water. The water was turbid as mud. He poured it into the dry grassland. He continued to pour more than 30 buckets of water in a row. Finally, the water with silt was washed out and the water flowed out. It is the clear and sweet underground water. "Does it taste good?" Liu Weidong scooped up a scoop, handed it to his daughter and sons, and asked.

"It's so cold!" The little one breathed a sigh of relief, "Dad is so awesome, can we irrigate the prairie now?"

"Silly boy, the grassland is so big, how can we irrigate it with this little water?" Liu Weidong laughed, "Where is our grassland? Have you guys gone to see it?"

"Dad, our pasture is so big!" The third child jumped out again and said, "It's as big as a cow!"

Liu Weidong smiled and held the little guy in his arms, "What kind of cow is it? A milking cow or a blowing cow?"

"Of course I blew it, it was so big!"

Liu Weidong also really wanted to take a look at the pasture allocated to his family. He called his mount, turned over and rode on. The boss also ran over on a pony. Feidian looked at his precious "old son" and put his head towards him in a friendly manner. Make out with the foal.

Saoji also ran over, and the family of three was reunited.

"Come, you ride your mother's horse. Third brother, you ride this horse with your father..." Liu Weidong put his daughter on Saoji's back. Saoji snorted obediently, stamped his hooves, and followed step by step. After Feidian, he ran towards his pasture.

"Both brothers and sisters can ride horses, and dad, I want to learn to ride horses too!" The third child, sitting in Liu Weidong's arms, turned to look at the two horses approaching, one on the left and the other on the right, and gestured with his little hands and shouted.

"You are still too young. When you grow up, daddy will teach you how to ride a horse." Liu Weidong pinched his little face, "Sit tight, daddy is going to speed up!"

"Hoho, daddy is taking me on a big horse and flying to the sky!"

The pasture allocated to his family was [-] acres. At first, Liu Weidong had no idea about [-] acres, but when he really stood in front of the pasture and looked at the vast grassland that could not be seen, he realized what it meant. The sky is high and the sea is vast, but the wind blows the grass and you can see the cattle and sheep!

In order to thank him for taking care of the herdsmen for so many years, the herdsmen specially allocated the best piece of pasture on this grassland to their family. It was already late autumn, the pasture was withered and yellow, and it was in decline, but the naked eye could see that their family's piece of pasture was The pasture is growing much better than elsewhere.

Since the collective was disbanded and the herdsmen were divided into separate families, the pastures have been divided into pieces and contracted by each household. Each family raises a lot of cattle and sheep, but the old prince's [-]-acre pasture has always been If it's empty, if someone's cattle and sheep can't catch a meal, they just come here to eat for a day or two, and the old prince doesn't care.

It was nominally his own, but in reality it became Huangcaoling's public pasture.

"Weidong is back!" A herdsman driving a group of sheep came bleating from a distance. When he saw Liu Weidong, he blushed and said hello to him.

"Uncle Hartao, your sheep are really well raised. Sell me two of them!" Liu Weidong laughed and chatted with him. The old man was very generous. "Whatever is for sale or not, you can choose which one is easier for you!"

"That won't work. Family ties are family ties, and the prices must be clear. Just those two!" Liu Weidong pointed to two rams, both large and small, and took out 30 yuan from his pocket and handed them over.

"Oh, Weidong has a lot of money. What kind of sheep can be sold for 30 yuan..." The old man hurriedly took out ten yuan and handed it back. Liu Weidong laughed, "I will treat it as buying you cigarettes."

"Thank you, thank you. I'll clean up this sheep for you and take it home later!" The old man nodded and drove the sheep back.

"Ho ho ho, we have mutton to eat tonight!" The third child was the happiest!

"Come down and take a look at our pasture!" Liu Weidong jumped off the horse and took the third child down. Xiao Zhengjie also got off the horse and waved to his sister riding on the tall horse, "Can't you get off?"

"I won't go down!"

This girl has always been very naughty.

"By the way, where's Shanshan?" Liu Weidong then remembered why Bai Shanshan was missing?
"Her grandma and grandpa came to the grassland as guests, so Uncle Bai took her back."

"Oh……"

I haven't seen the little girl for a while, but I still have some thoughts.

Liu Weidong squatted on the ground, plucked the grass roots and introduced the names of these grasses to the children: Leymus chinensis, ice wheat grass, Achnatherum splendens, Stipa grass, mother-in-law grass...

The children squatted on the ground, holding their little chins, listening attentively to their father imparting knowledge to them. From time to time, they would pull up one or two grasses and observe carefully.

"Tomorrow my father will bring some bags to collect these grass seeds and scatter them on the grass next spring. This way the grass will grow more lush and our family can raise hundreds of sheep."

"Hundreds of sheep are not enough for the little greedy cat to eat by himself!" The little boy rubbed his little brother's little head and laughed.

"Ouch!" The third child was not annoyed, bared his teeth and made a face, earning a slap from Liu Weidong.

"If the grassland is protected, it will be good for everyone." Liu Weidong stood up, "Let's go, let's go see other places."

The children have learned a lot, and their admiration for their father is like a mountain and a stream of water. They are out of control. In the children's minds, their father is the most powerful and knowledgeable person in the world!

"Okay, my darlings, today's teaching is over!" Liu Weidong put the children on the horse, "Let's go home and eat mutton!"

"Oh oh oh!"

The children cheered with joy.

After returning home, Uncle Hartau had delivered two cleaned sheep to the door of the house. Liu Weidong thanked his eldest son and asked his eldest son to go to the yurt to take out a box of soda drinks he had brought and give them to him to drink.

"Thank you so much!" The uncle was extremely grateful.

A large pot was set up outside, and Liu Weidong lit a fire to cook. He cut the mutton into pieces with a sharp dagger and put it into the pot. He didn't need to skim the blood or add various seasonings. He just sprinkled a little salt on it. He picked up the lid of the big pot and put it on with a bang. He snapped his fingers at his eldest son and said, "Boss, light the fire!"

"Good dad!"

The little guy grabbed the firewood cut from the stubble of the windbreak forest, broke it off and stuffed it into the stove pit. The eldest daughter was lying comfortably in the arms of Enzina, the hound, and picked up a small stone and threw it at her brother, "Look at this. What, little boy Sun Zhengjie, hurry up and light the fire, I’m already hungry!”

"Just go ahead and wait for dad to go to work and see how I deal with you!" The elder brother glared at his sister with a tigerish face.

"Dad, my brother bullied me!" the little boy shouted loudly.

Liu Weidong didn't have time to pay attention to the infighting among the children. He hurriedly got out of the yurt and said, "You guys take good care of the house. Dad has to go to Qili to pick up your grandpa and the guests."

"Are there any guests?"

"Yes, the guests from Nanyang are rich!"

"Brother, hurry up and start the pot and let's eat the meat. We won't be able to eat anything when the guests come!" The third child rushed over and urged anxiously.

This little bunny!
