Return to the small mountain village in 1983

Chapter 250 A month of turmoil
It was already noon when he returned to the village. Lin Heng put the peach blossoms he folded into the green thin-neck bottle. Xiulan had already prepared the meal and was waiting.

Father was waiting for the big jobs.

"Lin Heng is back, let's serve the food."

Mother Lin said something and brought out the food together with Xiulan.

"You can eat first without waiting for me." Lin Heng said with a smile.

"We just came back." Father Lin said with a smile.

Liu Haigui next to him also smiled and said: "Boss Lin, have you found a carpenter?"

After getting to know each other these days, he admired Lin Heng more and more, and his attitude was even more polite than before. At the age of twenty-one, he has become a millionaire by himself, which is really amazing.

"We have already found him. We will come to our door tomorrow." Lin Heng nodded and said, "Let's eat."

"it is good."

After eating, rest for half an hour, and then resume work at one o'clock.

The grapes themselves are very easy to survive, but now that they are awakening again, a simple split grafting method will suffice. You only need to pay attention to the grafting layer.

Lin Heng said something and went out. There were red grape seedlings planted in his father's yard. When he came over, he saw that they were already alive.

Liang Gui looked at Lin Heng and asked.

In the blink of an eye, it is already the fifth day of March in the solar calendar and the third day of the second month in the lunar calendar. Today happens to be the Jingzhe, and the construction site has been in operation for eleven days.

The pipe was delivered that afternoon, but the channel to bury the pipe had not yet been dug.

Lin Heng nodded: "Yes, a lot of wood for the rafters has been shipped. I bought the big wood for the beams in the past two days."

Lin Heng watched their work progress for a while, said something, and drove away in a three-wheeler, planning to go to a suburban factory to buy plastic pipes.

"I'll probably be able to break the toon buds by the end of the month." Xiulan said after watching Lin Heng's grafting.

Lin Heng's exercise is more intense. He not only does Vajra Kung Fu, but also does push-ups, frog jumps, pull-ups and other events.

Lin Heng and Xiulan got up early in the morning to exercise. Xiulan practiced Tai Chi and the Eight Parts of Vajra Kung Fu every morning. Although she followed the same model, her limbs have become much more coordinated after so many days, and her body lines look... More smooth and soft.

"Okay, let's get the ruler and white ash."

"Husband, the botrytis spores you planted have grown a lot and turned green. They look like they are alive."

Early the next morning, Carpenter Liang came up early and was a little surprised to see that Hongfeng Mountain was built like this.

Xiulan's voice sounded under the vine.

After the gathering was over, Lin Heng looked at the two of them and said.

After getting it, Lin Heng and Lin Heng measured it together and then put the thread.

After Lin Heng finished exercising, he walked over and took a look. The spores of the Kyoho grape were clearly visible and they were definitely alive. The wild grape next to it is even more so, as if it can't wait to release its vitality.

Lin Heng first bought two hundred ones with a diameter of ten centimeters, costing one hundred. I also bought fifty pieces with a diameter of five centimeters, which cost thirty cents each. In addition to a lot of accessories such as elbow tees, the total cost was two hundred and two yuan.

There is a small workshop in the suburbs that specializes in the production of plastic pipes, producing various types of plastic pipes. Lin Heng arrived and took a look at the factory. Without exception, they were all old machines that he had bought back.

After confirming it, we will call a truck to ship it, and it can be delivered directly to your door in any city.

In his previous life, he started exercising when he was old, and these had already become his habit.

He knew that this was Xiulan's intention, and she gave the fat meat to Dagong to eat. His family usually only eats pork belly, which is not so fat.

Lin Heng followed him out and looked at the seedlings planted in the back mountain. Only two of them had no buds, while the others all had green buds.

Cut the wild grape from the bottom, split it in the middle, then cut the scion into a flat shape with a knife and insert it into the split main stem of the wild grape, then wrap it with film paper so that the buds are exposed outside.

After cutting a five centimeter long piece of paper with buds on it, he turned and returned to the house.

For most people in this era, as long as they have meat, they don't care whether they are fat or thin.

Lin Heng looked at the fat meat on the table and showed no interest at all. He only put some shredded sour radish and cold shepherd's purse.

"Lin Heng, my job is to fix the beams and rafters?"

He planted the seedlings in a hurry because this time point was very important, and sure enough, most of them have sprouted now.

"Li Shiwei and Lin Hai, please join me in measuring this afternoon."

"If we go to town, we can get married in the middle of the month. I will take you there then." Lin Heng said with a smile. He had already started to drool. Fried meat with toon and scrambled eggs with toon are both delicious.

After spending half an afternoon, the three of them finally laid out all the water pipe lines, and then asked someone to dig the pipes. When the water pipes came later, they could just bury them directly.

However, the craftsmanship of the plastic pipes produced is very good. What Lin Heng wants to buy is a ten centimeter diameter plastic pipe. The price here is 50 cents a piece, four meters in length and five millimeters in wall thickness.

The two nodded and turned to get the ruler and white ash.

Lin Heng is not a devil. Even if there is no such thing as an eight-hour working day, he will usually only let people work for eight hours, and occasionally he may give half an hour more.

Everyone has been hungry for a long time, and they are even more coveted for Lin Heng's food. Not only did they get white rice for every meal, but they also had meat for every meal, which gave them a profound understanding of households worth ten thousand yuan.

"Wait while I go get a red grape for grafting."

"Okay." Xiulan nodded and agreed, carrying the bucket to milk the cow.

"Get it." Carpenter Liang put down the things, looked at the half-meter-high wall, walked over to look at the wood, and started his work.

The so-called spring thunder suddenly stirs and everything revives. The weather on this day was gloomy and the morning dew was heavy, but there was no so-called spring thunder. However, if you look closely at the branches, you will find that the spores have become very full.

After drinking milk, playing at home for a while and eating some pickled cabbage soup, Lin Heng went to the Hongfengshan construction site at half past eight.

After eleven days of construction, Lin Heng had connected all the water inlet and drainage pipes of the ponds and had them underground.

The water inlet pipe of the pond stretches out for one meter, and then is connected with an upward elbow, which can effectively prevent the water from impacting the pond.

When the water flows out, it first faces the sky and then spreads in all directions, which can also increase the dissolved oxygen in the water body.

Now the only thing missing is the 400-square-meter aeration tank at the top, which has not been dug. There are not enough workers these days, so construction has not started.

Two walls of the warehouse have been completed. The warehouse is three meters high, with a two-meter-high triangular roof on top. Today the carpenter Liang is setting up the beams and ordering the rafters, and then they can build the tiles.

He bought the wood for the beams in the town. He spent 100 yuan to buy 50 pieces of pine wood that had been treated with asphalt and anti-corrosion, and they were transported by tractor.

Now that all the foundations have been completed, five major workers and twelve small workers can build a house in one day. It will take up to ten days for the houses to be completely completed. After finishing here, Lin Heng went to the mountain to take a look. The fence in the forest had been built, and the land reclamation had come to an end. The remaining work could be completed in five days at most.

However, there are no signs of ginseng seeds germinating yet, so it will take some time to sow them.

Lin Heng ran up and down and saw his father slowly walking to the construction site.

Seeing Lin Heng, Lin's father immediately said excitedly: "Son, I went to the fields and took a look. Most of the fruit trees we planted have sprouted."

He had been paying attention to the seedlings, fearing that there was something wrong with the seedlings he spent so much money on. Now that he saw them sprouting, he finally felt relieved.

"That's for sure." Lin Heng smiled and nodded. He said why he didn't see his dad in the morning.

"Is the land reclamation on the mountain finished?" Father Lin asked again.

"It will be completed in four or five days." Lin Heng nodded.

"That's okay." Father Lin nodded and went over to start working.

Lin Heng didn't go home either. He stayed to help with the work. He was too lazy to lay bricks and was helping to move things.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and the cherry blossoms, apricot blossoms, and wild peach blossoms on the mountains were all in full bloom, white, pink, in clusters. When you get closer, you can smell the faint fragrance.

Spring has arrived, and everything is beginning to revive.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Lin Hai ran down from the mountain and looked at Lin Heng and said, "Brother Lin Heng, the work on the mountain is done. Do you want to come up and take a look?"

"it is good."

Lin Heng nodded and followed him up the mountain to take a look.

The fence on the mountain is tied to a living tree, and the vines are made from local materials, which are not very strong. However, there are thorns two to three meters wide piled outside the fence, making it difficult for livestock or people to break in.

Inside the fence, the leaves that had not rotted last year were piled at the roots of the big trees, waiting for natural decay. The rocks were also picked up and piled together. All the soil was renovated, and the black humus soil looked pleasing to the eye. All the small tree roots and other things were dug out and thrown to the cabin for firewood.

The whole forest looked neat and orderly, no longer as messy as before, and walking in it felt different.

After checking around, Lin Heng smiled and nodded: "Everyone did a good job, thank you for your hard work."

"Lin Heng, do you have any other work? Do you still need us at the construction site below?" Yang Zhaotao in the crowd asked with a smile.

"Yes, are you still alive, Boss Lin?"

This is also what other people want to ask. I am not afraid of hardship or tiredness, but I am afraid that I will not be able to make money without working.

Lin Heng smiled and nodded: "Of course, there is an aeration pond to be dug down below, and a fence needs to be built around the pond. There is a lot of work."

"It's good to be alive."

"Get your tools and go down and do it."

When everyone heard that they were still alive, they immediately became energetic and walked towards the pond at the foot of the mountain.

"Everyone, let's build the fence first today. I have laid out the fence pits for the pond. Just help dig them out." Lin Heng said while looking at everyone.

The fence of the pond must be built to isolate people and animals. At a small level, it is to prevent the cattle and sheep core children from slipping and falling; at a big level, it is to prevent some jealous people from secretly drugging and causing damage.

So he had already designed it before and spent fifty to buy a square railing casting mold and some thin steel wire.

Let them dig a pit every five meters around the twenty-acre pond, then install the pouring mold and pour it with cement, and then use steel wire to surround the railings.

If a large number of thorns and branches are piled outside the railing, the isolation will be completely completed to prevent livestock and people from intruding.

After some guidance, everyone quickly started working.

Five more days passed in the blink of an eye, and ten days had passed since Jingzhe. The concrete pillars have all been erected, the steel wires have been pulled up, and there are thorns and branches more than two meters wide on all sides. If you want to come in now, you can only go through the inner door.

The workers who have finished these tasks have already started digging the aeration pond. At the construction site, whether it is a warehouse, an incubator, or the house where you live, everything has been built and completed.

All the terracotta tiles on the roof have been installed, so there is no need to be afraid of rain, as major work is being done on the walls.

During this period, there was not enough bricks, tiles, cement, and a few days ago Lin Heng spent another thousand and a half to bring back bricks, tiles, cement, and sand and gravel.

Since the start of construction this year, he has already spent 2,000 yuan on materials. In fact, to build four warehouses, three incubators, and a house for people to live in, it is enough to use the materials from the first floor.

The extra money spent is to harden the roads and the surrounding areas of the pond. This could have been saved, but Lin Heng really hated the feeling of stepping on mud and not being able to lift his feet on rainy days.

Moreover, it is convenient to do anything after hardening. After thinking about it, I decided to harden it.

Two days later, the cement on the walls of the house was finished. The 400-square-meter, two-meter-deep aeration pond here has also been dug out and needs to be hardened.

First, the bottom of the pool was laid with cement, and then the surrounding walls were laid with bricks and cement. It took three days to harden the inside of the pool.

"Now only the inner roads are hardened, right?"

After finishing hardening the oxygenation pool, it was almost time to get off work. Liu Haigui looked at Lin Heng and said.

Lin Heng nodded: "Yes, in the past two days, I have led people to level the road and the bank of the pond. After that, I only need to use wooden boards to support the grinding tools and lay the concrete."

Today is March 28th in the Gregorian calendar. The construction site has been under construction for days. It will be completely completed in two days. By then, only shrimp farming will be left.

"Lin Heng, will I be dead?" Yang Zhaotao asked again.

These days, in addition to digging an aeration pond and leveling the land above the house, they have reclaimed more than three acres of land on the hillside of Hongfeng Mountain.

In the end, the road hardening work obviously did not require so many people, especially since Lin Heng rented a mixer after having electricity, he did not need so many people and cement.

The people in the village were both happy and disappointed. They were happy because they would get their wages soon, but they were disappointed because there was no work to do.

"Yes, five people will stay here tomorrow, and the others will be divided into three groups to plant forsythia, astragalus and turmeric for me."

Lin Heng looked at everyone and said with a smile, the weather has been warm in the past two days, and he has also planted forsythia and astragalus seedlings. When I looked at them this morning, white roots have emerged and can be planted in the ground.

The ginseng seeds have also begun to take root. After planting forsythia, astragalus and turmeric, ginseng is almost ready to be planted.

Planting trees last time was exhausting, but now there are workers who can help with the planting. The labor cost is nothing as long as the Chinese medicinal materials survive.

"That's great, as long as you have something to do!"

Upon hearing that he was still alive, everyone suddenly became happy.
