On the first day of the new year, Ye Mo and the others had nowhere to go.
After visiting the temple with my parents, I played cards in the village...
After the first day of the new year, I will visit relatives.
It’s the same every year, my uncle’s family in the second year of junior high school, my uncle’s family in the third year of junior high school, Ye Mo’s family in the fourth year of junior high school...
This year is no exception.
During the Chinese New Year, we just eat and drink. If we don’t go out to play, there is nothing to say.
In a blink of an eye, the new year is over.
Ye Mo's big villa on the mountain has started construction again. Only the third floor and the top floor are left...
In front of the house, that is, outside the garage, there is a row of flower beds planted with a row of cycads. The flower bed across the road is planted with a row of coconut trees... Below the coconut trees is a steep slope, almost like a cliff.
Around the house, Ye Mo planted some hedges.
A regular planting form consisting of shrubs or small trees planted at close distances between rows, single or double rows, and closely combined is called a hedge, also called a hedge or a hedge.
Roadside green belts are common...
The top of the mountain has running water, electricity and ventilation.
Huangtupo has realized three links very early.
It's just that the water bills here are relatively expensive. Many people dig their own wells...
Although it is in a mountainous area, there is no shortage of groundwater. Groundwater is only for drinking. For irrigation, deep wells need to be drilled, which is beyond the reach of most farmers.
There are many reservoirs on the mountain.
For example, on a high soil slope, if you dig a pond six to seven meters deep, there will be water. The water in it is drinkable, but if you want to use it for irrigation, it will definitely not work because the water output is too small.
As for using tap water for irrigation, it is too expensive.
Therefore, puddles are still dug everywhere in the orchards on the mountains to store water during the rainy season.
…
On the top of the mountain, what should be done has basically been done.
All that's left is some finishing work.
The small excavator is at the bottom of the mountain. Ye Ran's barren hill has been reclaimed, and Chen Chen's barren land is being reclaimed.
Ye Mo drove the micro-dig to open up wasteland before repairing, and the pile of soil left behind when building the road...
Ye Mo is a person with a little bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
'I bid farewell to the southern hemisphere and run to Hokkaido. I wish to turn into a bird of day and night to embrace you. I can't wait until the sky and the waves rely on each other...' With the micro-dig at full power, Ye Mo put on a Bluetooth headset, listened to the song, and walked to the roadside.
The mounds are cleared and leveled.
There are still several hills on the top of the mountain that have not been cultivated.
The slopes of those small hills are too steep. There are also native bushes on the hills...
After cleaning up the last small dirt bag that he couldn't bear, Ye Mo dug the excavator back into the warehouse, filled the faucet outside the warehouse with water, and rinsed the excavator clean.
Water is collected from a deep pond in the backyard of the villa, and water pipes are laid throughout the orchard to facilitate irrigation.
After the New Year, the temperature rises.
There is no winter in the Flower City.
Winter in terms of seasons should be considered spring in the Flower City...
After the New Year, the temperature soars directly and enters summer.
After cleaning the excavator, Ye Mo took the keys to the pickup truck and went down the mountain: "Chen Chen."
Chen Chen came over...
"Come with me to the town." Ye Mo said.
Chen Chen sat up and asked, "What are you going to do in town?"
"I bought a dump truck online and it was delivered. Come with me to pick it up," Ye Mo said.
“Buy a dump truck online?”
"Off-road dump truck..." Ye Mo shrugged.
Four-wheel drive, Zongshen brand, with a two-meter-long bucket, and the chassis of the car is that of a beach off-road vehicle.
Ye Mo saw this car on Douyin before, found it online, and bought it. The total price was less than 20,000...
Come to town.
Ye Mo's car was placed outside the courier station. He went over to sign for the car and 6 packages.
The packages contain car wash water gun hoses, one in each package, 40 meters long.
It has not rained for a long time, and the fruit trees planted on the mountain will die if they are not watered.
Driving back, my father was waiting at the intersection. He saw Ye Mo waving at him: "Did you buy this car?"
"Ah?" Ye Mo nodded.
"You..." Dad took a deep breath and said helplessly and angrily: "How much money do you have that you can't spend all of it?"
Ye Mo smiled: "This car is cheap."
"I'm too lazy to care about you... Do you still need the micro-excavator?" Father Ye asked.
"No, what are you doing?"
"Your uncle's orchard is going to install a small train. I will go over and smooth the path for him." Dad Ye said.
At the top of the mountain, Ye Mo loaded the micro-excavation onto the orchard transport truck. The orchard transport truck was very powerful and said it would have no problem loading more than ten tons.
As soon as Ye's father left, Chen Chen drove Ye Mo's pickup truck over.
Ye Mo is unpacking the package and connecting the water pipes with buttons and glue.
Connected to form two 120-meter water pipes, the two water pipes also have interfaces that can be connected together to form a 240-meter water pipe.
"Are you okay? Help me fix the water pipe." Ye Mo said.
"It's okay." Chen Chen shook his head and helped Ye Mo do it.
The water pipes are ready and installed on the car.
Chen Chen received a call, and Ye Mo drove him there. When he came back, he started watering the orchard.
Wherever there is a road, there are water pipes on the roadside, including dirt roads.
The hill where the villa is located is the highest point on the top of the mountain. Water is collected from the mountain and can irrigate the entire orchard.
There is a faucet fifty meters from the roadside, and water can be collected everywhere.
In the deep pond on the mountain, Ye Mo poured a few buckets of spiritual spring into it yesterday morning...
It hasn't rained for a long time.
The soil on the mountain is so dry that a kick can raise dust.
Winter in Huacheng doesn't mean it doesn't rain at all, it just rains less. If it hadn't rained, the fruit trees planted by Ye Mo would have dried up long ago.
It is also a kind of fun to water Ye Mo manually when he has nothing to do.
The pressure of the water is so strong that it can be sprayed six to seven meters.
The weather forecast said there would be no rainfall in the next few days, so Ye Mo thought of going out to water...
On the gentle slope, there are 3,000 coconut saplings.
These seedlings are all about half a meter tall, and some of them are transplanted with their shells still attached.
On the roadside, the large coconut trees planted by Ye Mo are all about two meters tall. They are all dwarf coconut trees. When they were transplanted, Ye Mo watered Lingquan. Recently, he found that several coconut trees have grown flowers.
ear.
Ye Mo is looking forward to the fruit trees growing up quickly and bearing fruit.
The area of the alpine orchard is quite large.
But watering with high-pressure water pipes is very fast. After dark, about a hundred coconut groves were all watered.
I packed up my things, drove to the top of the mountain, and pressed the water pump switch.
A lot of water was used today, and water was pumped to fill the reservoir.
The pond on the top of the mountain is 4 acres. The mouth of the pond is round, small at the bottom, large at the top, and the deepest is 3.4 meters. Small steel bars are laid around it, and cement is poured...
This pond used more than 200 tons of cement.
There are insulating colored steel tiles on the pond to prevent it from being exposed to the sun and evaporating quickly.
But when it rains, the rainwater from the top of the mountain will flow into the pond.
There is a pumping station next to the well. You can set the pumping time. When the time is up, it will stop automatically. In addition, if the water level in the well is lower than a certain height, the machine will automatically stop. You don’t have to worry about wasting too much water...
If the water in the pond on the mountain is full, it will flow through the pipe to the pond down the mountain.
In addition, if the pond at the foot of the mountain is full, it flows into the large pond next to the durian garden.
The large pond can hold 21,000 tons of water when full. The maximum water surface area is about 7 acres.
There are three ponds in the Alpine Orchard, one is 4 acres, one is 2.7 acres, and the other is 7 acres. There are also 47 reservoirs...
After packing up and going down the mountain, it was getting dark, but Ye Ran was still driving the excavator there.
Ye Mo pressed the horn twice hard.
Chen Chen and his parents are here, planting fruit trees...
"Third uncle, third aunt, why don't you go home yet?" Ye Mo got out of the car and shouted.
"Right away, there are still a few seedlings left. We will go back after planting them," said the third uncle.
"Brother Ye Mo." Chen Chen put down what he was doing, shouted, and came up to light a cigarette for Ye Mo.
Ye Mo nodded and asked: "Do you need water for irrigation here?"
"A tap water valve has been installed here, and there is water." Chen Chen said. He applied for a fruit shed construction permit. When Ye Mo installed water and electricity, he also installed connectors in advance.
"Brother." Ye Ran stopped the machine and jogged to the top of the hill.
Ye Mo responded and said: "Third uncle, third aunt, I will go back first."
The third aunt responded: "Come to my house for dinner."
"No. Let's go eat there at noon tomorrow..." Ye Ran smiled and said, "Chen Chen, I'm going back."
"good."
After getting in the car, Ye Mo said, "How many days will it take for the work here to be finished?"
"Tomorrow...the day after tomorrow. Hurry up and it will be done tomorrow. Slow down, the day after tomorrow at the latest...What's the matter, is there any work?" Ye Ran asked with bright eyes.
"Auntie helped you with a job of clearing stumps in an orchard. There are more than 100 acres of fruit trees. The other party quoted a price of 145 yuan per hour." Ye Mo said with a smile: "Are you interested?"
"Cleaning the orchard stumps means digging out the stumps?" Ye Ran asked.
"Um."
"Where is the stump of some tree?"
"Xiatang Town, the stump of the orange tree." Ye Mo said.
Ye Mo's work here is basically finished, and there is nothing left for Ye Ran.
The two excavators at home can be used to make money.
Ye Ran nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll finish the work at hand quickly. Well, brother... I'll go out to drive the excavator, how much salary will you give me?"
"If you go out and drive, all the income will be yours. I'm too lazy to settle accounts with you." Ye Mo said with a smile.
"Hehe... thank you, my dear brother."
Ye Ran helped Chen Chen open up wasteland during this period, charging 70 yuan per hour.
Ye Mo's Kubota small excavator is used to open up wasteland. Its fuel consumption is four to five liters per hour... This is only the main oil, not the auxiliary oil.
According to the current oil price, fuel consumption is about 35 yuan per hour.
He is from the same village, and he is the godson of his parents. When he goes out to work, Ye Mo’s small excavator charges starting at at least 135 yuan.
When the excavator is put into operation, wear and depreciation must be calculated. It costs 135 yuan per hour, which is not expensive. Although the excavator is small, the efficiency of the work is really not slow.
