My village can't be like this

Chapter 588 The ship arrives
In the dead of night, Zhang An entered the space again.

Tonight, he planned to plant the saplings brought back by Ding Yi.

The pile of saplings that had been placed in the space for a long time did not look like they were about to wither. Instead, they looked very fresh, even more tender than when Ding Yi brought them over during the day.

Just do it, Zhang An picked up his sleeves, took out the shovel from the yard, and started digging a hole behind the courtyard.

There are many saplings, each with at least thirty or forty trees, so Zhang An does not plan to plant them in front of the yard.

As the saying goes, "A jade belt with water in front of the door means a noble person will appear at home."

When he first built this small courtyard in the space, Zhang An decided on its location only after careful consideration.

In front of the courtyard, there is a stream formed by the spatial spring water flowing out of the bluestone spring. It flows toward the lake in a meandering way, covering the entire front of the courtyard.

This is exactly what our ancestors have called "water in front of the door" in Feng Shui for thousands of years.

If someone had asked Zhang An in the past whether he believed in Feng Shui, Zhang An would definitely have shook his head and smiled it off.

After all, those in later generations are either making money to support their families or thinking of ways to make money. How can they think so much? Survival first is the most important thing.

But now, if someone really comes to ask Zhang An, he will definitely believe it without any hesitation.

Because he has personally experienced the most magical things, and who can say for certain that these other mysterious and mysterious things really don’t exist.

Anyway, now he has always maintained a concept, he would rather believe that he has it than that he doesn't have it. Even if he really doesn't have it, he will not suffer any loss.

Although it is only in space, I believe it first and then talk about it.

Therefore, Zhang An did not plan to plant these saplings in front of the yard so as not to block the terrain of the yard.

When digging holes, Zhang An placed them far apart each time and tried to line them up as neatly as possible.

In this way, when these saplings grow up, they will be guaranteed to have enough space and look good.

And when planting, Zhang An also sorted all the saplings and planted the same tree species together. Don't ask why, it's just that patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder can't afford to hurt them.

After spending an unknown amount of time, all the saplings had been planted except for a few that were left to be planted outside.

As usual, Zhang An brought some space spring water and watered each newly planted sapling.

However, he imagined that these saplings would grow at a speed visible to the naked eye just like the grapevines when they were first planted.

Although it was obvious that he had grown taller at the beginning, it was only a few meters, and then it stopped abruptly.

Zhang An felt very strange, but he did not think that the space spring water had lost its effect.

He calmed down and observed for a while, and found that these trees were still growing, not stagnant, but at a very slow rate.

In fact, this growth rate is already very fast compared to the outside world. However, in the past, Zhang An was used to the scene of growing up all at once in the space. Now that it has slowed down, he is still not used to it.

But then Zhang An figured out that these trees were not ordinary trees.

If we use the saying that it takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to grow people, they should be the latter. A few decades of light will not have much effect on them, at least it will take more than a hundred years.

In this way, it can be explained why they grow so slowly after being catalyzed in space.

Seeing this, Zhang An stopped caring about them. After looking around the space, he returned to his room to sleep.

Early the next morning, when the mountainside was just turning white, roosters of all sizes began to crow.

Although Zhang An didn't go to bed until late at night, because he stayed in the space all the time, he was not mentally affected, but became more energetic.

When Zhang An got up, he realized that it had just dawned, but he had no intention of going back to sleep.

Before the rest of the family got up, Zhang An walked into the kitchen, took the tongs to remove the coals on the stove that were used to seal the fire last night, and then stabbed the heart of the stove with a torch.

It only takes a few strokes to push the long-burned coal ash in the heart of the stove to the bottom of the stove hole.

At this time, the dying sparks in the heart of the stove suddenly ignited. Then Zhang An used tongs to peel off the coal balls used to seal the fire last night and divided them into pieces, then put a few pieces into the heart of the stove. Start a fire.

In this way, there is no need to light a fire in the stove. After a while, the coals will ignite sparks and they will ignite on their own.

This is the method of burning stoves in rural areas. Both adults and children must master the basics. Once you learn it, you don't need to get up and light the fire again every day.

For example, Zhang An himself learned how to make fire, mix coal, seal fire, etc. at a very young age. The stove in their house seemed to have been burning for a long time, and there had been no fire for at least two months.

However, burning coal will definitely produce a lot of coal ash, so the coal ash in the stove needs to be cleaned frequently.

After finishing all this, Zhang An filled a pot of water and put it on the stove to heat.

Although it is summer, there is no need for hot water for washing and the like.

But when Wang Fang gets up later, she has to prepare breakfast for the family. Hot water is almost a must-have every morning.

And let the stove sit idle, put a pot of water on it, and the coals inside will burn faster.

As soon as Zhang An came out of the kitchen, he saw that his mother was already holding her precious grandson.

"Get up and go get some water to wash Qiqi's face."

Wang Fang saw Zhang An coming out of the kitchen, giving instructions to Zhang An while putting clothes and shoes on little Siqi.

Little Siqi was still young, so unlike adults, it was better to use as little cold water as possible. Zhang An poured some hot water, then mixed it into lukewarm water, and then brought it out for the prince to wash up.

Everything about the little guy is fine, but he has a bad habit: he really doesn't like washing his face.

Zhang An twisted the towel and tried to wash his face several times, but was dodged.

In the end, it was Wang Fang who took it upon herself to take down the little guy who was covered in bones.

No matter how hard he tried to dodge, Wang Fang had been with him for such a long time and was already very good at dealing with him.

Arriving in the courtyard, Zhang An was instantly amazed by the sky outside.

In the sky on the top of the mountain in the distance, there is a combination of yellowish pink and blue, just like the colors in the comics, giving people a very healing feeling.

This kind of scene, even after many years when technology has developed very rapidly, a mobile phone with such a powerful function cannot capture it in its original form.

Breathing the fresh air that had just been renewed in the mountains, Zhang An stood in the yard, raised his hands and started practicing Tai Chi that he had not moved for many days.

If someone filmed this scene twenty years later, it would surely be a very poetic video.

After Zhang An finished the round and exhaled, he turned around and found that his son next to him was actually trying to imitate the movements he had just made.

"Hey, we all want to practice boxing too, so you have to grow up a little longer before you can learn it." Zhang soothed his son's head and said to him with a smile.

Now Xiao Siqi is still too young and his body bones are still too fragile to withstand the strength brought by boxing practice, so Zhang An has no intention of teaching him now.

This is what Zhang Yixing has warned before. If the little guy wants to learn boxing, he has to grow up for at least two more years, until he is three years old.

Although Zhang An didn't teach him, the little guy seemed to be very talented. He kept imitating his father's behavior just now, twisting and turning in a precise manner.

Don't tell me, it does look a bit like that.

Zhang An was watching from the sidelines. Although the little guy's series of movements were inconsistent, for a first-time beginner, this was already pretty good.

"Oh, Qiqi is still so young, Zhang An, you have already started teaching him boxing."

When the little guy was entertaining himself, Zhang Jianwen came.

"Haha, no, he can't learn it yet. His body and bones can't bear it. He just watched me fight and learned to play by himself."

Zhang An shook his head and smiled as he talked to Zhang Jianwen, ignoring the little guy and letting him play as he pleased.

"You're not going anywhere today. The people from the shipyard will deliver the ship we ordered in the morning. You may be asked to help us then."

Then Zhang Jianwen didn't chatter and talked about his own purpose.

"I'm at home anyway. When it's delivered, uncle, come over and shout."

Zhang An won't go anywhere now, he just stays at home and is responsible for taking care of the man at home.

"Okay, I'll go say hello to the others, so that everyone won't be home when I need to find someone later."

After Zhang Jianwen took care of Zhang An, he went on to find the next person.

After he left, Zhang An took out a pickaxe from the side room and prepared to carve out a place for planting trees in the yard.

Originally, he had already figured out where to dig yesterday, but when he got up after a nap today and looked at the place he selected yesterday, he suddenly felt that it was not very suitable.

After planting so many trees last night, when he looked back today, he always felt that it was quite awkward to suddenly plant two trees in the middle of the yard.

As a result, he gave up the idea of ​​planting the saplings in the front yard and instead called his son to find another place in the backyard.

After walking around the backyard twice, Zhang An immediately decided to plant the remaining saplings next to the vegetable field.

Compared with the front yard, the backyard is much spacious, so there is no need to worry that these trees will block the light in the home when they grow up.

And if you plant it in the backyard, you can save yourself the trouble of digging the cement field, because the cement dam in the backyard is not too wide.

As soon as he said it, Zhang An found a hoe and started digging a hole.

Otherwise, if you wait until tomorrow, you may feel that it is not appropriate to plant it here.

The backyard belongs to Zhang An's family, not the land contracted by Zhang An from the village.

So when these trees are planted here, he can water them with space spring water as much as he wants, and he doesn't have to worry about disputes after the land rent expires.

Although in the future, a tree will be planted in one's home, whether it can be cut down does not depend on one's own policies.

But Zhang An is not worried at all. When the tree can be cut down, it may be many years later.

And he also thought that while Lao Zhu was still here, he could make a note with him and get back the felling rights.

In this way, when it is in the hands of future generations, there will be no need to argue with those people.

"Zhang An is leaving, help move the boat."

Zhang An, who had been at home all morning, didn't hear anyone calling him. It wasn't until the afternoon that Zhang Jianwen called him at the door.

"Okay, I'll be here soon."

Zhang An responded, then took his son to his mother to watch, and then went out to find Zhang Jianwen and the others.

After all, this is the time when the little guy is active. If you take him with you, you are afraid that he will get busy later and run around without paying attention.

When they came to the river, Zhang An saw many people coming from the village, including everyone who had something to do.

This is Zhang Jianwen's appeal in the village. As long as he opens his mouth, almost no one will refuse him, and even if he has something to do, he will put it aside first.

There were several trucks parked at the entrance of Dongli Courtyard at Qiaotou, and I think the trucks were loaded with boats ordered by the village.

However, these trucks were not small and seemed to be quite heavy, so Zhang Jianwen did not let them drive over directly. This was also to protect the bridge at the entrance of the village. After all, it was a natural bridge.

"I'm sorry, Village Chief Zhang. We were supposed to deliver it in the morning, but the master in front of us drove the wrong way and took us to another place, which delayed us for half a day."

The unloading of the ship had not started yet, but someone on the other side was talking to Zhang Jianwen. He must have been the person in charge of the ship.

"Hahaha, it's okay. I'm not in a hurry right now. But I seem to remember that people from your factory came to our village not long ago. They didn't come this time."

Zhang Jianwen was talking about the person who was responsible for transporting the ship that transported Zhang An's family last time, but he came after Lu Jun.

"Because he drives a small car and we drive a large car this time, he did not come with us this time and was assigned to other places by the factory."

People at the shipyard also knew that this was the case. After all, Zhang Jianwen would buy a boat because of such a beginning.

After the two leaders exchanged a few words, they were ready to start unloading the ship.

This time the shipyard came with five trucks and ten people, and two boats were placed on one truck. In fact, if they were alone, they could unload the boat. Ten people were completely enough, but the speed would be slower.

Now Zhang Jianwen has pulled out dozens of young people in the village, greatly reducing their workload.

So the people from the shipyard moved them out in the car, and everyone in the village caught them outside.

As soon as Zhang An got started, he clearly felt that the boat this time was not as heavy as the one sent by the fat man.

After all, when he moved the boat last time, he called out to about ten people, not counting himself, but it was not easy to move the boat.

But this time, even ten people on a boat were not needed, and seven or eight people could easily carry it to the dock.

I have tried several ships in a row and it is basically the same.

Only then did he realize why the boat bought in the village was so much cheaper, but the materials used were quite different.
