Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 194 Paving the Concrete Floor
Gao Shouwang bought cement and river sand, and the tractor unloaded them directly at the Xing'anling factory site, so Gao Mingcheng pushed a flatbed truck to load the goods there.

He asked Gao Shouwang to help him buy cement and river sand, which was convenient and cheaper when bought together.

He pushed a large cart full of things, and returned to Gaojia Village with ease. When passing by the old village, he first carried a few bags of cement and river sand to his parents' house, saying that he wanted them to move the kitchen to the toilet. Place the block with cement.

In the next winter, his grandma will wrestle in this place.

He can't watch over his grandma all the time, but he is willing to do some things that should be done.

If it is fate that Grandma Gao will die because of wrestling, then even flat ground can wrestle.

But doing and not doing, Gao Mingcheng has different feelings in his heart. Sometimes we do something not to pursue a certain result, but simply because of a certain need in our heart.

For example, helping others, such as showing holiness in front of others, such as being good as a teacher, all of these have gained some emotional value.

Gao Mingcheng knew that Grandma Gao would die from a fall next year, so if he didn't do it, his conscience would be disturbed, and if he did it, he would have no regrets.

"What kind of floor is paving at this time? Your father said that after saving a few more years, he plans to tear down this house and build a small two-story building!" Luo Xiaohua said, not wanting to spend effort to pave the floor. Concrete.

At this time, the concrete floor is laid, and when the time comes to tear down and rebuild the house, the concrete floor will be wasted again!

It was precisely because of this reason in the previous life that even though the road from the kitchen to the toilet was very bad, and when it rained, it was slippery and difficult to walk, but the family still did not pave the floor.

A small two-story building was built behind it, but so what?Grandma Gao, who has suffered all her life, never lived for a day.

She suffered all her life, and before she died, she suffered from a broken bone for a long time, and passed away in agony.

Gao Mingcheng knew that he couldn't talk about it, so he looked at his father Gao Yuanjian and said, "That section of the road is usually fine, but when it rains, let alone grandma, even when we walk, it is easy to slip and fall. Elderly people are most afraid of falling, so it is better to lay cement first."

"I sent all the cement and river sand here. Dad, you spent two days to pave that section of the road."

Gao Yuanjian didn't want to be troublesome at first, but thought that after a few years, when the house was rebuilt, it would be done in one step.

It was only when Gao Mingcheng mentioned Grandma Gao that he was Grandma Gao's own son after all, so he was a little moved.

"Okay, this is also your filial piety. I will pave the uneven area with gravel and level it later. It just so happens that there are some gravel piled up at home that can be used." Gao Yuanjian said, both Having decided to do it by hand, he went to find a shovel to shovel broken stones to level the uneven ground.

Luo Xiaohua pouted, disapproving, but didn't say anything more.

Grandma Gao sat under the eaves, completely watching this scene, a daisy-like smile appeared on her weather-beaten face.

She beckoned Gao Mingcheng to pass, and asked gently: "Mingcheng, you have been married for a while, any news about your beautiful belly?"

Gao Mingcheng was embarrassed for a few seconds, but he didn't expect that he encountered the spawning skills displayed by Grandma Gao.

His mother is now wholeheartedly taking care of her eldest grandson, but she has no intention of caring about him. Of course, he is happy to do so.

"Domei and I are still young, we can wait two years to have another child." Gao Mingcheng said.

But Grandma Gao disagreed, and gave an example: "Why are you young? You are half a year older than Gao Zhuang, but he got married after you and got pregnant first!"

Gao Mingcheng complained, Gao Zhuang was not pregnant, but his wife was pregnant!

It can be seen that there are certain advantages to marrying a wife older than yourself.

Gao Mingcheng talked with Grandma Gao for a while, and said that he had to go back and pave the yard with cement, so that after the rice was harvested, there would be a place to dry it.

This is a serious matter, and Grandma Gao didn't keep him any longer, and let him go to work on his own.

Gao Mingcheng pushed the remaining cement and river sand back to his home. Instead of busying himself with work, he sent the flatbed truck to others first.

This car is borrowed, but Gao Mingcheng has already planned to build a flatbed car himself.

Almost half of the people in their village have flatbed carts, and some have wheelbarrows in their homes. The wheelbarrow can hold less things, but it can walk relatively narrow field ridges.

During the harvest season, some families whose rice fields are far away from their homes will transport the harvested rice back home with a wheelbarrow, and then threshing.

The traditional threshing is done in something like a deep wooden basin, and there are also people who pick up the rice and smash it against the concrete wall for threshing.

But with the advancement of technology, there is now a threshing machine. If you step on the pedal of the threshing machine, the large drum filled with iron rings will rotate, and then use these semicircular iron rings to beat the rice down.

It’s just that threshing machines are considered large-scale agricultural tools, and not every household has them. At this time, they need to be borrowed, or they can be borrowed from the brigade. The brigade has several threshing machines that can be lent to the villagers.

The topic is far away. Gao Mingcheng, who only has one mu of land, has no plan to make a wheelbarrow, nor does he plan to spend money on a threshing machine. How much rice can one mu of land have?With his strength, he can harvest and thresh casually, without even needing to borrow a threshing machine.

His yard is relatively large. When building the house, the ground has been leveled and covered with a layer of crushed stones. Usually walking is not a problem at all, but it must be inconvenient to dry the millet.

Now he found an open space and began to mix cement and river sand together. He knew the ratio well. He worked in real estate in his previous life, and he also observed and helped when building houses in this life.

The cement is mixed first. After the cement is mixed, it can be used. You need to use tools to transport the mixed cement to a certain place, then use a shovel to shovel it, pave it, and finally make some shallow lines. This is possible Play the role of anti-slip.

When paving the cement floor, it is not easy to pave the whole piece of ground, but to divide it into small pieces. There needs to be a gap of about one centimeter between each piece. This is because the cement will expand with heat and contract with cold, so it is not easy to need some gap split.

In the previous life, when some people paved the road, they would pave it as a whole, and then waited for the cement to dry, and then used a cutting machine to cut the road according to a certain distance.

Gao Mingcheng didn't have a cutting machine, and didn't intend to be so troublesome. When laying, he took into account the problems that would arise later.

After spending a whole day, Gao Mingcheng finally paved the whole yard with cement.Standing under the eaves, he looked at the wet cement yard with a satisfied smile.

The crushed stone yard before had a cheap feeling of half-finished products, but now the smooth concrete floor looks tall!
