Chapter 151: Digging Fruit Trees and Jujubes to Build a New House
Leisurely life in the countryside 151_Chapter 151 Digging fruit trees, jujubes, building a new house, school is about to start. After my father woke up in the afternoon, the father and son came to the eight acres of land where the manor was built.《》lvex.》》
lvex.《》
Fang Zhengping looked at the large piece of land that had been circled with stakes and couldn't help but sigh. In the past, he had thought about working hard for a few more years to barely build a two-story red brick house and put a sticker on the outer wall.
As long as there is a decent place to shelter from the wind and cold, I will be satisfied.
Fang Zhengping never thought in his wildest dreams that not only would his family be building a house this year, but that it would not be a two-story red brick house, but a large manor. A whole eight acres of land, oh my God, this scale
Not to mention in Xiaotai'er Village, this manor is probably the only one in Pingyang in the small ancient town.
"Xiao Rui, if you put this piece of land together, it will cost at least one million!"
Fang Zhengping was happy when he thought about the comfortable life he would live in after the manor was built. However, he couldn't help but worry when he thought that he and his wife had worked hard over the years and saved tens of thousands of dollars through frugality. Although his son is now
The planting and breeding business is not very impressive, and the restaurant is running smoothly, but one million is not a small amount after all.
"Dad, money is not a problem at all. From now on, you don't have to worry about money anymore."
Fang Rui smiled calmly and said that the issue of money for building a house had always been on Fang Rui's mind before, but now that the soil is falling apart, the booming business has turned this pear into a snow pear in an instant, and now the future is green.
The first and second dimensions of the second dimension have been opened. Five acres of land and five acres of water can be used at will. As long as Fang Rui thinks about it, it is really easy to do hundreds of thousands of things... It's just that Fang Rui doesn't care about money in his life.
Wan Er, who comes and goes without taking him with him, really looks down upon him so lightly that he has no time and is too lazy to think about this stinky thing.
Fang Zhengping couldn't help but smile happily when he saw that his son's expression was still calm when faced with this huge amount of one million, and of course he didn't say another word.
……………………
The father and son came here to see firstly the land, and secondly the fruit trees on the sloping hillside. Bulldozers will come for construction work tomorrow. They must seize the time to dig out these fruit trees, and they will all be planted in the manor.
Forming a small orchard.
Most of the fruit trees on this slope are peach trees, all of which are local hairy peaches.
There is no need to deliberately cultivate peach trees. After eating the peach, throw the peach core on the ground. There is no need to deliberately bury it with soil. By the beginning of next spring, three or four of the ten cores will naturally germinate.
They grow...and then go through various disasters. At least one or two of them finally grow into graceful peach trees.
The reason why the hairy peach is called a hairy peach is because it grows from a peach blossom to a small peach. Until it matures, it is covered with fluff throughout the whole process, which is difficult to wash off. Moreover, the hairy peach is not big when it is mature.
, the locals even call it wild peach. The hairy peach looks inconspicuous, but its sour and sweet taste is the purest among all peach types.
Now there is a peach tree beside the big pond of Fang Rui's house. It is full of green fruits and will not mature until the autumn harvest of rice.
There are many peach trees on the hillside. Among them are two adult peach trees as thick as arms. The branches are also full of fruits. However, these two trees can only be cut down. Digging the roots of the trees is quite laborious and not worth the effort.
.
In addition to peach trees, there are also many jujube trees on the hillside. Among them is a jujube tree as high as a three-story building.
The dates produced by the local jujube trees are not as big as those sold in the fruit market. The jujubes are only as thick as an adult's thumb. However, these jujubes are like peaches because they grow in a pollution-free environment.
Zhongyou is purely natural, and the taste of jujube is as good as that of peach. There is nothing to say...
There is not a single date on the jujube tree standing in front of Fang Rui. Just look at the branches and leaves that have been broken into pieces. You can tell that all the dates have been sucked out by the naughty eggs in the village. In August and September
Isn't it the season for jujube harvest?
This jujube tree, like the two adult peach trees, can only be cut down.
……………………
Peach trees, jujube trees, orange trees, and plum trees are the most common and most abundant fruit trees in Pingyang countryside.
The father and son danced with the hoe, sweating like rain. More than a quarter of an hour later, the old boss Yang Zhicheng and Zheng Zhiqing joined the battle group. After a while, Yaya Nini came over with a small hoe, followed by Lin Fangfang and Yu Lijiao.
.
There is strength in numbers.
In the afternoon, the digging marks of the hoe were all over the entire hillside.
Everyone dug up hundreds of fruit saplings in total. In addition to peach trees, jujube trees, plum trees, and orange trees, which are the most popular, there are also grapefruit trees, pomegranate trees, pear trees, etc. Basically, they dug up all the fruit trees in Pingyang, which surprised Fang Rui.
I also dug up a fig tree. Figs are a relatively rare thing. Didn’t you see that they are missing from most fruit markets? Even Fang Rui only ate figs when he was a child and has not known about them for more than ten years.
It tastes good.
The hundred and ten saplings are still missing, so everyone continues to dig.
Yaya, who was following Fang Rui, suddenly shouted, "Dad, what is that thing on the tree?"
Yaya pointed to the top of the hillside, Fang Rui followed her finger and looked through the not very dense layer of leaves.
It was a tree that looked somewhat similar to a Chinese chrysanthemum tree. The tree was thick but not very tall, only seven or eight meters tall, but its crown was widely spread. At first glance, this tree looked ordinary, but it was really attractive.
What caught Yaya's attention was the small green fruits on the tree.
This small green fruit is oval-shaped like a jujube, and looks very similar in size and shape to a jujube.
Yes, this is also a jujube, and its full name is jujube.
This kind of jujube tree is wild and usually grows in relatively deep mountain forests. The birds and small beasts in the mountains like this thing very much. The greedy little guys in the village also like it very much. When Fang Rui was a child, he and
The friends often went to the mountains and forests to hunt... But Fang Rui remembered that there were no wild jujube trees on this hillside. They probably only grew into trees in these years.
"It's jujube." Fang Rui said with a smile to Yaya who was full of curiosity.
"Sour dates, can I eat them?" Yaya licked her lips and asked, while Nini beside her also blinked her eyes full of yearning.
"Of course you can eat it, but it's very sour. It will make your tears flow." Fang Rui scratched Nini's nose and said with a smile. In fact, the taste of ripe jujubes is very unique and very good, especially if you like it.
If you eat sour food, you will definitely enjoy it. But after you eat it to your heart's content, when you eat something else, you will be in pain because all the teeth in your mouth are sour. If you touch it with a little force, it will become sour.
It feels so crispy that your teeth are loose.
"Nini is not afraid of sourness. Daddy, go pick some and eat them." The girl pulled Fang Rui's arm and acted coquettishly.
When Lao Bian, Lin Fangfang and others heard the conversation, they all gathered around. They were all very curious when they saw the green fruits on the tree. When they asked about them, they were jujubes. Lin Fangfang and Xu Lijiao, who had learned about this stuff on the Internet, also expressed their desire to eat it. Lao Bian
I have never eaten this thing, but I saw that several prostitutes wanted to eat it, so I quickly expressed my desire to eat it. Even Yang Zhicheng showed interest, because Murong Qian was particularly greedy for sour things during this period.
Fang Rui smiled and spread his hands and said, "The jujubes won't be fully mature until the frost in October. It's still far away now..." Fang Rui is hiding a clue here. There is a way to make jujubes ripen quickly. He doesn't know how to make jujubes ripen quickly.
Say it, hey, give them a surprise then...
……………………
According to the old rules of the ancestors in Xiaotai'er Village, when building a house and breaking ground, you must first ask the earth immortal to see an auspicious day.
After looking at the future, you still need the Earthly Immortal to determine which direction the main entrance of the house should open, whether it is south, north, east or west. Finally, before the first hoeing of the auspicious day comes, you still need to ask the Earthly Immortal to come over and make a small inspection.
The ritual is to set off firecrackers and burn some paper money to the gods, praying to them to ensure that the house can be built smoothly and that the owner can live in peace and health.
Of course Fang Rui, a superstitious person in the countryside, would not believe that he could invite whoever wanted to invite the earthly immortal who pretended to be a ghost. Anyway, Fang Rui acted as the earthly immortal when he built his own house, so he chose the day after his father came back.
Why not hit the sun? As for which direction the main entrance opens, do I need to ask anyone to see this? Of course it opens towards the center of the village. Could it be that it opens towards the back hillside?
There was also the ritual ceremony before the groundbreaking, which was omitted. However, Fang Zhengping still set off a firecracker. It was not a matter of winning or not, but a kind of warning.
The progress of the bulldozers was very fast. In less than a day, the several acres of land on the sloping hillside were leveled. The next day, the excavators came in and dug the foundation. In less than a day, the foundation was dug. The next step was the construction.
The masters made their appearance. Basically, these masters were from nearby villages, and most of them had worked together with Fang Zhengping and were familiar with them.
When people in rural areas build a house, the foundation is usually built with rocks. After the foundation is laid, bricks are laid directly. After the bricks are built to a height of about three meters, hollow prefabricated boards are put on the floor. Then the bricks are laid on top, and then the hollow core boards are put up.
, of course beams and columns still need to be made of concrete... This is the most direct and cost-effective construction method. Of course, the quality of the house is correspondingly worse, but in rural areas, houses are only built with two floors and three floors.
, it doesn’t matter.
Fang Rui's new house did not use this method, but adopted a full-frame construction method. Full-frame construction means that the foundation, columns, beams, floors, and roofs are all poured with reinforced concrete, and then the frame is constructed.
The solidity of bricks laid in the frame is certainly not comparable to that of red brick hollow slabs, but the cost of this construction method is correspondingly much higher.
After tying steel bars, installing formwork, and mixing soil, the foundation of the house came out in no time.
When the villagers were working on the construction site outside, they would smoke a cigarette and go to the toilet when they had nothing to do, and find ways to be lazy. But the villagers helped the villagers do things and were diligent, and they were all acquaintances with Fang Zhengping, and then Fang Rui started
The wages are high, and the food is really delicious, but the speed is really hard to say.
Fang Rui is not worried about the quality of the house. His father is always knowledgeable and takes care of it. Moreover, the architects no longer call them Lao Fang, but call them Boss Fang instead. Although it is just a title, Fang Zhengping understands it.
So happy and proud.
……………………
The construction site for new homes is in full swing.
Fang Rui, his mother, Lin Fangfang, Yu Lijiao, and Yaya Nini were all busy and started making meals in the early morning. The architects did a lot of physical work, and they were very poor.
The hard work and blood and sweat consume a lot of food, but we can't treat others badly. All the good things in the space are included.
"Xiao Rui, go ask the masters to come back for dinner."
After a long morning of busy work, the food was ready, Yu Yinghong said to her son.
"Okay, I'll call you right away."
Fang Rui wiped the water on his hands, took off the bra, and went to the new house.
"Masters, it's time to eat." When they arrived at the construction site, Fang Rui shouted with a smile.
"Oh, it's time for dinner..."
"Boss Fang, let's go and eat!"
When the chefs heard that dinner was ready, they cheered like children, put down their things and ran towards the old house. The ones who were as fast as rabbits...
"Work as a laborer, eat as a pioneer, these guys." Seeing everyone's attitude, Fang Zhengping smiled, shook his head, and said the most classic saying among migrant workers.
When Fang Rui heard this, he smiled and said, "Dad, you have wronged the masters. Look, it didn't take long before the foundation came out."
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes at his son, but said with a faint smile, "If you tell me, I don't know yet... Let's go home and have dinner."
……………………
New houses continue to be built.
Time flies and September 1st is coming soon.
The two girls have spent most of this summer vacation at Fang Rui's house. Now they have completely integrated into Fang Rui's house. At the same time, they have completely fallen in love with the people and the environment here... School is about to start. What did Zheng Zhiqing and Xu Lijiao say?
No matter how much they were persuaded, neither girl was willing to go back to the city to go to school, and the couple started beating her but were reluctant to do so, leaving Zheng Zhiqing and Xu Lijiao helpless.
"Oh, it's all because of that brat Xiaorui... Why not let Yaya Nini go to the village to study." Yu Yinghong looked at the two sisters, whose eyebrows were almost knitted into a ball, and sighed with distress.
When Yaya Nini heard this suggestion, her eyes lit up, but Xu Lijiao also sighed and said, "The school environment here is too..." Xu Lijiao didn't finish her words. Of course Xu Yinghong knew that the primary school in Xiaotai'er Village was dilapidated.
Needless to say, the teachers are extremely shabby. There are only two teachers at the level of revolutionary seniors. For these reasons, the village school only has three grades. The young children must go to the town to go to school when they reach the fourth grade.
It's very troublesome.
The conversation did not continue. Yaya Nini, who was quite thoughtful, quietly ran to the back bamboo forest and found Fang Rui who was feeding the chickens. "Dad, you won't see us for a long time. Will you?"
Don't you miss us?" Yaya Nini pouted her red mouth and said with an aggrieved look.
