In my days as a farmer

The natural conditions of Xiaojin Village are indeed good, but because of this, the coverage rate of farmland in the village is surprisingly high, almost reaching [-]% of the local arable land.

Therefore, in this case, the land vacated by the residents for contracting naturally has disadvantages that the locals cannot bear.

Yes, this huge disadvantage is - no irrigation water resources.

There is no stream flowing through, no well water, no lake water, and the water conservancy facilities built in Xiaojin Village have not reached here. If the possibility of building a reservoir by yourself is ruled out, then the only way to obtain irrigation water resources is— —Drag a rubber hose to a house a few kilometers away to borrow someone else's sluice, or use tap water directly.

The former costs people, the latter costs money.

This can be said to be one of the decisive disadvantages in agricultural production, and it can even be said to be the lifeblood of being grasped.

This is a matter of experience. If ordinary farmers come to lease land, the first thing they look at is the terrain, geology, sunshine time and water source. It is very easy to be restricted by neighbors like this, but it is a big deduction item.

Only a layman like Xia Dongli sees the small house, small yard and the scenery of the back mountain.

Seeing his stiff expression, Comrade Xiao Li, who was afraid to scare away this delicate-looking contractor, hurriedly comforted him: "It's okay, Baiyun Mountain is high in altitude and water vapor can't be climbed or climbed. It's all piled up here, so we Xiaojin The annual rainfall in the village is not bad, and the number of irrigation water needs to be replenished is not much in a year, and the neighbor village is even jealous of us, saying that we have a dragon king living here."

"You can dig a pond, collect rainwater and domestic water at ordinary times, get a water pump for irrigation, and put some tap water if it's not enough, and it doesn't cost a lot of money."

"Compared to that, uh, I don't know if you know about it, but..." he asked a little cautiously, "Do you know that we don't have sewers in our countryside?"

Xia Dongli was stunned.

More than half an hour later, he led the rice and stood outside a red brick hut.

After re-strengthening, the small building looks good, with new glass installed on the windows, water and electricity, and the door has been changed.

Because it is winter, the paint putty is difficult to dry, so the outside of the house has not been painted, and many of the original paint have cracked, exposing the red bricks inside, but in the whiteness, this bright color does not look awkward, but It looks kind of cute.

——But none of this could stop Xia Dongli's despair when he saw the pipes leading from the outside of the house to the ground.

That's right, although a house was built in this area, no underground pipes were laid, so the sewage from the hut was directly discharged to the side of the house.

There might have been a ditch or something else at that location to send the sewage away, but now all Xia Dongli saw was white snow.

This is not just the rainwater pipes and domestic water pipes, but the output system of the whole house, including the toilet sewage pipes, which are all naked, naked, and exposed outside!

If Assistant Xiao Li hadn't reminded him, Xia Dongli, who woke up tomorrow morning, would have been caught off guard when he went out to see all the things sent out yesterday waving to him and saying hi. That scene might break the fragile nerves of the city nerd.

Xia Dongli felt that something was wrong with him.

His house doesn't have a sewer, of course it's not that Xiaojin Village is bullying outsiders. The ordinary domestic sewage in the countryside can basically be reused, and the ordinary kitchen sewage can be sprinkled in the courtyard.

The solution for other villages is to gather several families together to build a biogas digester, but Xiaojin Village has a relatively small population, an aging population, and no large farmers, so there are not enough raw materials for biogas production.

Therefore, the domestic sewage in Xiaojin Village is simply passed to its own septic tank, and after rough fermentation, it leads to the local waterway.

The small brick house contracted by Xia Dongli was originally used for forest rangers to rest their feet, and the second floor was not for living, but for drying leather and wood.

This house has been vacant for more than ten years since the national policy changed that no ranger is required, so it is taken for granted that no one here will spend this cost to build a septic tank.

In fact, it is useless to build it. There is no river near here, and the harmless treated liquid of the septic tank will actually have some peculiar smell if it is not diluted into the water.

In fact, not to mention the septic tank, this house used to not even have the most basic output pipes, and it was directly discharged from the indoor pipes. What about headers?

Xia Dongli let out a sigh of relief, he took out his mobile phone from his arms, and quickly activated the camera mode while the operating system, which was more afraid of the cold than him, was still awake, taking pictures of the water pipes outside the hut and the environment of the whole house, and then he He sent this dumbfounding photo to his circle of friends as a souvenir. After sending it, he didn't stare at it anymore, but stomped his feet to open the trunk and started to move things outside.

Fortunately, because Xia Dongli didn't know the situation of the house, he brought a relatively complete set of camping equipment.

And because there are high-speed roads all the way, Xia Dongli, who was worried about being stuck on the high-speed road and causing embarrassing problems, bought some portable toilets, mainly to meet the needs of pet dogs

...Things that I thought were cumbersome at first, but now that I think about it, he might have to settle with Rice.

Life is full of surprises.

The border shepherd, who was released from the leash after arriving at his own territory, seemed a little nervous. This was a completely unfamiliar place to him, full of strange smells and strange temperatures. Even though he had his owner by his side, Rice still felt a little uneasy.

The amber almond eyes turned left and right. It looked up at its owner. Xia Dongli was carrying the big tent on his shoulder with one hand and holding the key in the other to open the door with difficulty.

Seeing that the master's eyes were not on him, Da Mi Wang hesitated for a while, and then slowly raised his hind legs...

Alas, it seems that Xia Dongli is the only one who needs to worry about the toilet problem. Dami Wang will only find this place relatively unfamiliar, and it is full of the smell of unknown creatures. In order to carve out a safe place for its owner, it has to drink more water coming.

The merle-coloured working dog looked at the whole snow outside with a very serious expression.

"Mi—come in~!" Xia Dongli, who was moving the ants, pushed against the gate.

"Wang!"

Rice Wang responded, and trotted into the room, flicking its furry tail behind him, and after a while, all the lights in this house that had been vacant for several years were turned on.

The new owner took his pet and opened the dusty doors for a long time to visit their new home together.

The red brick hut is located in the northernmost part of Xiaojin Village. It rises from the terrain of Baiyun Mountain. It is the highest point of the whole village. It is also a two-story hut, which is particularly conspicuous in the flat land covered with snow.

The lighted hut looked like a lighthouse from a distance.

The small brick house itself is just a foothold, and the people who built the house didn't spend much effort to build the heated Kang that is common in the north, but just built a place for foothold with a few planks of wood.

This is also reasonable.

After such a long time, Xia Dongli was not so surprised when he found that the wooden planks of the bed in the hut had been completely hollowed out, leaving only a shape.

He just calmly added the item of buying a bed to the shopping list.

Since the engineering team only reinforced and arranged the cables according to his requirements, and did not paint them, the dilapidated and mottled traces in many places inside the hut are very obvious, but Xia Dongli thinks this is nothing, and the industrial style is quite tasteful after a long time of.

But the "surprise" in the kitchen made him a little bit unable to hold.

A liquefied gas cylinder appeared in front of Xia Dongli just as he was about to cook.

The screw bottle mouth, which can no longer be seen in modern times, is full of traces of history, and the rust-covered shell is a medal of its years.

He couldn't help gasping, and then quickly grabbed the dog who wanted to sniff, one person and one dog slowly exited the kitchen, Xia Dongli closed the kitchen door with the lightest movement in his life, without even a slight vibration If he dared to do it, he was afraid that the old man in the room would fall down on the spot if he was unhappy.

Then he took the rice and exited the house, trembling against the cold wind, opened the search channel, and the first entry that popped up when he entered the keyword was that a liquefied gas cylinder exploded and overturned in a certain area in a certain year News of a two-story building and a massive fire.

Xia Dongli swallowed, and the hairs on his back exploded.

Then click on the Baidu entry - the mandatory scrapping period for liquefied gas cylinders is 15 years... Exceeding this period can easily cause explosion accidents.

This, that bottle doesn't look like 15 years! !If you look closely, the power of a liquefied gas explosion is equivalent to 300 grenades.

This is too scary!It can only be said that it was lucky that it didn't detonate when the house was reinforced before.

Liquefied petroleum gas gentleman: (ω<)

Under such circumstances, Xia Dongli had no other choice. He immediately called the hotline of the gas company. The gas company also took this situation very seriously. The operator sister first praised his sense of crisis, and then said that he would deal with it immediately, please pay attention Keep away from locations where liquefied gas cylinders are located.

So the obedient and good citizen, Comrade Xia, stopped all activities, climbed into the car with the dog again, and one person and one dog stayed in the car for an entire afternoon, until the fully armed staff and the fire police car came to wrap the jar in the evening. I dared to re-enter the house after taking it away in the explosion-proof box.

Although the staff told him that there was very little gas left in the bottle, the probability of an explosion was not high, and it was not likely to soothe his wounded heart.

Xia Dongli declined the staff's suggestion to buy a new liquefied petroleum gas. He felt that he was a little allergic to the term now, and he should use a gas stove to deal with it before the desensitization was completed.

After such a life-threatening fright, poor Comrade Xiaoxia felt as weak as a battery that had been emptied out. He felt that he urgently needed a warm bed and a good sleep to recharge himself.

But as a responsible host, even though he was physically and mentally exhausted, even though his mind was blank and he wanted to sleep, he still walked up and down with a flashlight and closed every door outside the living room.

Rice's good behavior is not the reason why he can't take precautions. Since he doesn't want any special events to be triggered in the middle of the night, he should take precautions in place.

"Woo~" Damiwang, who didn't understand the master's actions, flicked his tail a little uneasy, and then he was quickly soothed by the dog food that "Shu Lala" poured into the rice bowl.

Rice did a lot of exercise today, and he has a great appetite now!

Compared with Gouzi's good appetite, Xia Dongli felt that he had no appetite. He used an instant hot water bottle to fill some tap water, and prepared to use it to cook instant noodles. The unused water for instant noodles can also be used to make a hot water bag, which kills two birds with one stone. .

Thinking about the happiness that the hot water bottle and warm quilt gave people in winter, Xia Dongli's hands and feet became more energetic.

He was not idle while waiting for the water to boil. He set up a tent in the center of the hall, and inflated two small air mattresses and stuffed them in. He heard the whistle of the kettle just after he was done, so he went again He took a hot water bottle and stuffed it into the sleeping bag.

Rice didn't show any uneasiness about the appearance of the tent. They used to go out to play a lot, and they had camped before. Rice knew what to do.After eating the dog food, the big dog stretched his waist and shook his fur, and went to Xia Dongli to ask him to wipe off the floating dust on the fur with a dry towel, so Shi Shiran got into the tent and lay down in it Air mattress cot.

A series of movements are smooth and flowing, very familiar.

Xia Dongli Xilihulu didn't wash the dishes after eating the noodles, but just put the food waste in the diagonal of the living room, checked the doors, windows and window cracks again, and then got into bed.

However, half an hour later, Xia Dongli opened his eyes again.

can't sleep...

The body is tired but the spirit is very excited. It is his current situation, and the smell of instant noodles in the room is also stimulating his nerves again and again.

Xia Dongli turned his head, saw the rice and opened his eyes in the dim light of the night light, and the dog's eyes blinked a few times after meeting the owner's gaze.

It seems that rice can't sleep either, Xia Dongli sat up and got out of the bed, he took out a lying incense box from the suitcase, the fire flashed in the dark night, and after a while, the unique medicinal fragrance of Ma Nilao Agarwood was relieved. Slowly drifted out.

"Yeah~" Rice moved her body, put her head on the mattress and looked upside down at Xia Dongli outside the tent. Its owner was very carefully putting the lit incense sticks into the incense box and holding it firmly. After being fastened, they were placed in an iron box with a fireproof cloth, and finally they were placed on the window sill farthest from the tent.

This window was originally left with a small gap for the ventilation of the room, but now the cold wind blowing in from this small gap is filled with the aroma of agarwood, and the heavy and sweet frankincense gently replaces the somewhat turbid air in the room .

Xia Dongli got back into the bed again, and said with a smile to the yawning rice: "Just order half a stick, calm down."

The rice rolled on the mattress, and finally closed his eyes surrounded by the familiar smell, but Xia Dongli had to pinch his thigh, waiting to confirm that the incense sticks were completely burned before falling asleep at ease.

The moment he sank into the dream, Xia Dongli suddenly felt a little stupid, why didn't he order a quarter!

At the same time, a pair of golden eyes slowly opened. In the darkness with no light source, these golden eyes had a brighter color than Rongjin. They looked in a certain direction in the dark. After a while, the golden eyes Close again slowly.

In the quiet night, I only heard him muttering [Hungry...]
