The leisurely life of farmers in mountain villages

Chapter 169 The reservoir is about to be completed

On Songbai Mountain, the boss Wang Shaodong and his four subordinates set up a dining table under the pine tree halfway up the mountain.

At the four corners of the square table, Zhao Shihai and Wang Shaodong sat next to each other at the top, and at the bottom sat Wang Yuliang, Zheng Hui and Zheng Tao.

The chickens have now fully adapted to their life of foraging on the hillside. There are abundant food sources on the mountain, such as small bugs, grass seeds, pine nuts, etc., are all good chicken feed.

"Hey, I'm talking about Zheng Hui. Yesterday you estimated how many meters of barbed wire we need to use? How high should it be?"

Zhao Shihai sipped the wine, squinting his eyes to enjoy everything in front of him.

Of the five people present, the one who loves this mountain the most is probably Zhao Shihai.

Hearing the boss asking himself, Zheng Hui hurriedly said: "Oh, Brother Dong, we measured the steps yesterday. If we want to cover the entire Songbai Mountain, including the side contracted by your uncle, 9000 meters should be enough. Brother Dong, this project The amount is not small, a dozen or so people will have to fuck him for two or three months."

Wang Shaodong nodded, Zheng Hui's estimate was not much different from his own.

"Okay, tomorrow I will go to the reservoir to find Su Yulong and Liu Yujiang, and ask him to find us a dozen people to do this job well for us."

The Wujiayuzi Reservoir is about to be completed, and then Su Yulong and Liu Yujiang will have new jobs soon.

Both Su Yulong and Liu Yujiang used to work in construction, and they were also big engineers, so it was enough for them to be project supervisors.Although they do not have supervision qualifications, their experience is still sufficient.

Barbed wire fences should be surrounded on the mountain, and small western-style buildings should be built on the bottom of the mountain. Su Yulong and Liu Yujiang seem to have to use them separately.

Su Yulong has great strength, so asking him to help drive piles on the mountain is much stronger than Liu Yujiang.And Liu Yujiang has good eyesight, so it shouldn't be a big problem for him to be in charge of the supervision of the small western-style building at the foot of the mountain.

After initially making up his mind, Wang Shaodong slept on the mountain that night, and then early the next morning, Wang Shaodong went over the mountain to Wujiayuzi.

Standing on the ridge between Songbai Mountain and Wujiayuzi, Wang Shaodong was amazed to see that a barrage across the Wujiayuzi exit had been closed, and the final cleaning work was short of it.

In another three to five days, the entire Wujiayuzi Reservoir project will be completed.

It is now May, and there are still two months before the rainy season. During these two months, the Wujiayuzi Reservoir does not need to occupy the labor force of the Wang family.

Then the rainy season comes, and after the reservoir is filled with water, you can buy fry and stock them.

The next step of frying is also an expense, at least tens of thousands of dollars.

Now on the side of the cherry orchard, because there are construction workers in the reservoir, it is still possible to send three or four people to pull the faucet to water the cherries every day.But as soon as the reservoir is completed in the next step, the construction workers have left, so we have to find someone to do the work of watering the cherry saplings before the rainy season.

With such a calculation, the manpower in front of the Wang family is obviously not enough.

Don't look at the five people on Songbai Mountain, who seem to be very leisurely, but after the next step is to circle the barbed wire, these people are obviously not enough.

"In the cherry orchard, no matter what, you have to find four people to water it."

While walking down the ridge, Wang Shaodong said to himself.

"Hey, Uncle Yulong!"

Halfway up the mountain, Wang Shaodong saw Su Yulong coming out of the canvas shed beside the reservoir.

There are many tools on the construction site, as well as cement and sand. Someone must watch here at night. Liu Yujiang and Su Yulong take turns sleeping in the canvas shed here.

Tonight, it seems that Su Yulong is on duty.

Su Yulong raised his head when he heard the shout from the middle of the mountain, and when he saw that it was Wang Shaodong, he showed a happy expression.

"Dongzi!"

Seeing Su Yulong waving to him, Wang Shaodong quickened his pace down the mountain.

"Dongzi, why did you come here?"

"Uncle Yulong, how many days until the reservoir is finished?"

"The only thing left is to clean the bottom of the warehouse. Seven or eight people will come today, and the work will be finished in two days."

Wang Shaodong nodded, and then said: "By the way, did my dad show you the design drawing of the small western-style building I asked someone to design?"

"Look, you can tell from the blueprint that it was designed by someone who has seen the world. The house built according to that blueprint must be very beautiful."

Wang Shaodong nodded, he knew that in fact Su Yulong didn't know how to read the blueprints at all, and Liu Yujiang must have told him that the house was beautiful.

"Well, I made an agreement with the village chief to contract out the land to the west of our farm as well, and the next step is to build our small western-style building to the west of our current home."

"When will it be covered?"

"I think we have to start work now, otherwise it won't be able to be built when the rainy season comes."

Generally, houses in rural areas should be built before the rainy season. The rainy season is humid, and the cement is not easy to dry. The houses built during the rainy season are prone to cracks.

There are still two months before the rainy season. In terms of time, there should be no problem.

"There's enough time. For a house like that, I think it will take less than a month to build it while preparing materials."

The Wang Shaodong Su Yulong mentioned has no doubts at all. He has seen the fastest construction speed, which is a four-story building with an area of ​​more than 400 square meters in one night.

That happened in the Yankuang subsidence area where the common people compensated. It was said that the common people hired people to build a four-story building overnight in order to get more compensation. Then it turned out that the measurement of the building area had just been completed, and everyone went out. When the house was destroyed, the building collapsed.

"Well, I don't think it will take much time to build a three-story building. Hey, uncle, I still have a way to survive. I want to trouble you."

"Look at Dongzi, you're making a fool of yourself when you say that. We are all long-term laborers for your family now. How can this boss be polite when talking to the laborers?"

"Where is it, you are my uncle, I can't mess around. That's it, I'll tell you directly, I want to get him a barbed wire fence of ten thousand meters, and enclose the Songbai Mountain over there. So I’m not afraid that my chickens will get lost, and I’m not afraid that foxes and weasels from other mountains will come to my chicken coop to steal the chickens.”

"Ten thousand meters, Emma, ​​how much does it cost?"

"Well, it costs more than building a small western-style building at my house. I want you to find a dozen workers to help my house piling and fence the barbed wire. Uncle, what do you think?"

"I take your family's wages, what do you ask me to do, I must do what, okay, when will I start work?"

"You're done with the reservoir here, let's start working immediately. Oh, by the way, what do you think about letting Liu Yujiang bring people over to the construction site of my building?"

Su Yulong patted his chest and said, "Dongzi, to be honest with you, I actually don't understand blueprints, but that boy Liu Yujiang can, so it's only appropriate that you ask him to help you build a small western-style building. "

For Su Yulong's words, Wang Shaodong is still very satisfied.
