This land was contracted by me [farming]

Another major event happened in Hedong Village recently, and even Hexi Village, which is separated by a long river, heard the news.

Boss Ge used a hoe to hoe the ground. Only he and the second child in the Ge family could work on the tens of acres of land, and they had to rush to turn over the land that had been frozen all winter.

His family's land is inferior land, only two acres.The old parents in the family are old and can no longer go to the field.Because his family is too poor, Boss Ge doesn't have a daughter-in-law at the age of 26 this year.

This family relies on working for the master to earn some rations. The master is kind-hearted, and will give them extra good food seeds when they come back, and grow them themselves.

Now the Lord's family has let go, and the wheat will be sown in early March.He had to hurry, the master's land had been turned over, and he could use a hoe to turn over his own two acres of land.Otherwise, the owner of the hoe will take it back, and I can only plan it with my hands.He didn't have the money to rent farm tools.

Although the soil is still a little hard, but in order to hurry up, I can only bite the bullet and go on it.

Ge Laoer and the eldest in the family ran side by side, waving the hoe in their hands, and the weather had not completely recovered, but the two of them were already sweating on their foreheads, "Brother, I heard that Hedong Village is going to build a house?"

Boss Ge bent his back, went down with a hoe and brought up a piece of hard soil. He smashed the soil, "What nonsense are you talking about? Wasn't they occupied by refugees during the autumn harvest last year? There are also many refugees who swam across the river and came to our place. ,you forgot?"

Ge Lao Er was barefoot, and the toes were filled with dirt, he bent down and picked, "That's right."

In fact, he didn't quite believe it either. In Hedong Village, where can we build a house?Where does the energy come from to do other things?

It's just that what Liu Si in the village said was right, so he believed it a little bit.This Liu Si's family has a small boat, and the long river separates the two villages, and there is no bridge between the villages.To go to the opposite village, you have to take a long detour.

In the past, Liu Si's punting boat was used to cross the river.

The water in the long river has begun to thaw, leaving only a thin layer of ice.Liu Si then propped up the boat to catch two fish and beat the teeth for sacrifice.

As a result, people from Hedong Village were seen carrying something back and forth on the mountainside not far away.

I happened to meet Uncle Wang Liu from Hedong Village. Uncle Wang Liu was holding a bamboo basket full of soil in his hand.Seeing Liu Si, he glared at him.

Liu Si touched his nose, he knew that Uncle Wang Liu was blaming him for taking the boat.Although when he was killed in Hedong Village, he took the boat and prevented them from crossing the river to take refuge.But there is no way, no, if the boat is not accepted, their village will also suffer.

It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Fortunately, Uncle Wang Liu also knew these truths, not to mention that in the winter of Hexi Village, many people took advantage of the freezing of the river to bring them some firewood for food.

Coupled with the fact that life is slowly starting to live now, he doesn't have any resentment in his heart, so he just thinks that the house will be built and he will live a good life.In the end, Liu Si used a fish to find Uncle Wang Liu, saying that the new county magistrate from Jingyang wanted to build them a house that would be warm in winter and cool in summer.

Liu Si listened for a long time before realizing, the new little county magistrate?When did their county magistrate change?A house that is warm in winter and cool in summer?What kind of house is that?Warmer than the big house of the masters?

Liu Si couldn't figure it out, and he didn't understand it, but that didn't stop him from chattering.When I returned to Hexi Village, everyone told me that a house had been built in Hedong Village.The people in the village just listened to it. At this time, no one had the time to really go to Hedong Village to find out.

And the county magistrate helped build the house?If there is such a county magistrate, even if it is not a real person who came down to the mortal world to save the suffering.But where in the world is there such a good thing?

Just treat Liu Si's words as flavoring agents in oppressive and dull life, and after listening to them, do what you should.

Hexi Village is busy with spring planting, while Hedong Village is busy building earthen houses.

Zhao Keran had seen this earthen house built by an old man.

At that time, the base had just been established, and various resources were extremely scarce.The soil is polluted and vegetables cannot be grown, and large areas are abandoned.There are so many people in the base that food and accommodation are a problem.Later, an old man surnamed Tang thought of a way to solve the housing problem.

Mr. Tang lived in an earthen house when he was young, and built it with his family. Although the soil is no longer suitable for growing vegetables, fortunately, there is no radioactive substance.As long as you don't eat it, you'll be fine.So, earth houses began to be built in the base.Zhao Keran thought it was interesting at the time, so he built one.

The earthen house was very simple to build. Zhao Keran took a twig and drew a pattern on the ground.It is four pieces of wood, the two short ones are concave at both ends, and the two long ones are protruding at both ends.

Zhao Keran squatted on the ground and pointed to the picture on the ground with a branch, "The long ones are the same, and the short ones are the same."

There happened to be a former carpenter among the refugees, and he immediately understood what Zhao Keran meant.

Soon the pieces of wood were made, Zhao Keran put them together, the protruding ones fit into the concave ones.

An earth brick mold was ready, and Zhao Keran handed the mold to the carpenter, "That's it, make more."

Knowing how to do it, other dexterous hands also helped to make molds.The strong ones were sent by Zhao Keran to dig the soil, which of course cannot be dug into the ground.So I can only go to the mountains to dig.

Add water to the excavated soil, pick out the stones inside, and leave the weeds.Put the reconciled mud into the mold, and the weeds left can reduce the degree of cracking of the adobe after it dries.

The flat ground at the foot of Jingyang Mountain is already full of shaped adobes, which should be called adobes at this time.

Zhao Keran looked at the adobe bricks on the ground, and those hard-working villagers, touched his chin with his fingertips, "It would be great if there were wheat husks."

Uncle Wang Liu was passing by carrying a basket of mud, and happened to hear this sentence, "There are wheat husks."

Zhao Keran turned around abruptly, "Didn't it burn after the autumn harvest?"

Uncle Wang Liu shook his head, and he put down the bamboo basket, "This year, before the fire, the refugees entered the village. They were all piled up in the valley, and I don't know what's going on now. What's the use of the wheat husks, magistrate?"

Now Zhao Keran has gained prestige and reputation in Hedong Village.Everyone in the village followed Fang Zhongyuan and called him the county magistrate. Although he was not used to being called that, it was better than Xiaowa.

"Take me to have a look."

Zhao Keran followed Uncle Wang Liu to the mountain depression he mentioned. It was said to be a mountain depression, but it was actually more like a pit.There are still a lot of wheat husks, and it is estimated that they are enough.

"Sixth Uncle Wang, I have to trouble you to bring some people to transport them to the foot of the mountain. It will be useful."

Uncle Wang Liu hurriedly waved his hands, the creases in the corners of his eyes from laughing made his eyes almost invisible, "No trouble, no trouble."

Time passed by neither fast nor slow, and Zhao Keran had to run back and forth every day.Fortunately, the house in Hedong Village has already started to be built. Zhao Keran stared at it all the time, emphasizing the details, "Every three earth bricks should be covered with a layer of mud and stuffed. This is to strengthen the firmness and avoid gaps between the earth bricks and the earth bricks. There are gaps. So don't miss anything!

Leave room for the door and windows on both sides of the door.Remember to use wood to support the windows so that the adobe bricks on top can be placed. "

After the shape is covered, it is necessary to paste a layer of mud on the outside.Otherwise, the bricks are easily weathered and cracked.

The outer layer of mud requires wheat husks. Water is added to the soil to make mud, and wheat husks are added inside to prevent cracks.

When the roof is closed, if the door faces south, the east and west sides are supported by wood to form a triangle, and the inside is filled with earth bricks.There is a horizontal beam in the middle, and two horizontal beams on the left and right sides, which are called "five roofs".

If the door faces east, the north and south sides are framed.

After the top beams are finished, tiles need to be laid.

However, laying tiles here is not practical. Zhao Keran also asked Mr. Tang at that time, what if the base did not have enough materials to make tiles.

Mr. Tang told him that the house he lived in before had no tiles, but was paved with reeds and thatch.

The erected beams should be covered with reeds vertically and thicker.You can also bundle several reeds into a small bundle and lay them on the ground.After laying, another layer of water and mud should be spread on the reeds, and finally grass should be covered.

Recalling the details of the conversation at that time, Zhao Keran took people to pull the reeds. Not far from Hedong Village, there was a large reed field.

Zhao Xiaoyu has been very happy recently, being able to be by his brother's side every day.Although the elder brother is busy and still can't see each other, he can play mud with many people, and more importantly, he has made new friends!

"Brother An An, is it true that your rhubarb can't lay eggs?" Zhao Xiaoyu pulled Huo An to ask whether his pheasant could lay eggs.

Huo An has a very good temper. In the past few days, this little Douding has been chasing after him and asking him all kinds of strange questions, but he still replied politely, "Don't lay eggs, Rhubarb It's a rooster, not a hen."

Zhao Xiaoyu nodded as if he understood, "My brother caught two chickens, and I named them, and he even praised me for their nice names. One of them is called Ooh, and the other is called Dandan.

Woohoo doesn't lay eggs, but it always oozes.The ball doesn't cry, but it lays a lot of eggs every day.I eat the eggs laid by the eggs every day, they are delicious.Next time Xiaoyu brings the eggs to Brother An An to eat, Brother An An will know. "

Huo An was a little confused when he heard this passage, but fortunately he understood.Just as he was about to say that he didn't need to bring eggs for him to eat, Zhao Xiaoyu said again, "Brother An An, can you lay eggs?"

Huo An: ...

"No...no." After speaking, Huo An's ears turned red and he was ashamed.

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoyu was a little disappointed, with a lonely expression, "Ah... so..."
