Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Chapter 392 Characteristics of the Times

If you want to talk near a track tractor, you have to shout, and shout loudly, otherwise you won't be able to hear what you say.

So Liu Guilan, who was following behind, shouted to Wang An:
"Xiao An, are you going to start the work now? It hasn't thawed yet."

To be honest, Wang An only listened to what Liu Guilan said roughly, and understood what she said by guessing.

Wang An explained to his mother and shouted:

"Mom, just clean up this piece of land first, and then dig the foundation for other things after it thaws."

Liu Guilan only saw Wang An's mouth moving, but she didn't hear a word of what Wang An said.

So Liu Guilan yelled, "Speak louder, I can't hear anything."

So Wang An raised his voice again and repeated what he had just said.

Liu Guilan nodded and stopped asking questions.

In order to watch the fun, people in the village followed the track tractor, wanting to see how it worked.

At the same time, they were shouting and talking to each other, discussing the big track tractor.

A few curious people came up to Wang An and wanted to ask him about the track tractor. Wang An shouted a few answers and then stopped answering.

To be honest, Wang An felt it was annoying to be talked to like this. He clearly couldn't hear anything, but still had to ask over and over again.

Can't you ask later? Do you have to ask now? One by one, like a lump on your head.

But since they were all from the same village, Wang An didn't know what to say. He could only pretend not to hear and ignore everyone.

In fact, the reason why the sound of the track tractor is so loud is that there is no silencer function on the exhaust pipe of the tractor in this era.

The speed of a track tractor is very slow, probably only slightly faster than a person walking.

So it took nearly a minute for two track tractors to arrive at the scene. Without saying anything, they put down their shovels and started pushing.

On this small hillside, or more precisely a small hill, in addition to various large and small gravels, there are mainly bushes and tree stumps.

If these things were to be cleared away by manpower, even if all the members of the Wang family got involved, it would probably take at least two or three months to clear them up.

But as the bulldozer passed by, all these things disappeared.

Especially tree stumps and bushes, even if they have not completely thawed, they will be uprooted with a push.

In fact, if you don’t use a bulldozer, the most worrying thing is these low vegetation.

The roots of these low-lying plants are not very long or thick, but it is extremely difficult to pull them out manually.

You can only use a large shovel and a spade to dig them out little by little.

The entire hill covers about 30 acres of land. If it were to be farmed by manpower, Wang An's family would have to do nothing this year and just stay here every day.

Although the entire residential land was only approved for 15 acres, Wang An would not care about it, because in Wang An's view, this entire hilltop land belongs to him and no one else can do anything about it.

Of course, no one cares about this kind of thing.

Don’t even mention the wild boar, the crow is black. In rural areas these days, no matter whose homestead it is, it is much larger than the actual approved area. This is actually a very common phenomenon.

There is a spring a little further west on the hillside, and a thick circle of ice has formed around the spring.

Although this spring is not big, only the thickness of a person's thumb, the amazing thing is that it keeps bubbling water 24 hours a day. Below the slope of this spring, there is a water bubble, which is now completely frozen.

However, the water under the ice is always flowing, so there is a very small stream under the slope of the water bubble, and the direction of this water is the river where Wang An and his friends fish.

There are many springs like this in the mountains, but Wang An loves this spring on his own homestead very much.

If this is renovated, it will become a small fish pond.

Wang An has thought it through. He plans to raise valuable and delicious fish. When he has time, he can also build some pavilions and wooden sculptures beside the fish pond.

In summer, we grill fish and meat in the pavilion, and in winter, we stew fish and meat in the wooden house.

Just this little day, it's so wonderful!
So under Wang An's command, one of the bulldozers moved under the southern slope of the spring and flattened the entire area.

Because in order to achieve his goal, he had to change the direction of the water flowing out of the spring. At this time, the direction of the spring water was flowing due west.

There is a steep slope to the west of the spring, and it is not far away before it is out of the range of this small hill.

Wang Ande had to enclose this spring in his own large yard.

At about 9 o'clock, Wang An asked his mother and daughter-in-law to take Wang Shuai, Zhang Shuya and others home.

Because when the bulldozer is working, except for Wang An and Wang Dazhu who are in charge of the command, all the people around are actually redundant.

Besides, with so many people at Wang An’s house, lunch has to be prepared in advance.

After everyone left, apart from the people watching the fun, the only people left at the scene were Wang Dazhui and his son, two track tractors and four drivers.

In fact, Wang An had discovered long ago that both the two cars and the two track tractors were transferred by Wang Shuai from a coal mine somewhere.

Because the black coal dust on the vehicles was really thick, especially the two track tractors. Except for the transparent glass, the entire outer shell of the cockpit was pitch black.

As to the original colour of the two track tractors, it was impossible to tell.

The reason why the two drivers who did not drive the tractors did not leave was because they were observing the conditions of the two tractors at any time.

It was obvious, and Wang An could also hear from the sounds made by the track tractors, that the condition of the two track tractors was indeed worrying.

Because Wang An also knows how to repair cars.

It's not just Wang An. Any driver of this era can repair a car, because the prerequisite for driving in this era is to learn how to repair a car.

If you can’t learn how to repair a car, you won’t be able to drive a car. This is a characteristic of this era.

Soon, it was noon and most of the people who came to watch the fun in the village had left.

In fact, it’s the same with everything. If it remains unchanged for a long time, you will naturally lose interest in it.

The work of a bulldozer is nothing more than pushing forward and pushing away everything that is in the way.

If you look at this thing for a long time, it will not only become boring, but also dull.

After stopping the two drivers, the six people returned to Wang An's house for dinner.

　Sorry, sorry, my dear friends, this chapter is late, I am very sorry
