It took four or five days for Chen Xiuyu to finally accept that her family had made a huge fortune.
She was finally able to sleep peacefully at night as usual.
Chen Xiuqing's engagement had been agreed upon a long time ago, and everyone knew it thoroughly. The younger one had no objections, and the elders were also happy, so things became quite simple.
His engagement was nothing more than asking Lu Lu and Wang Demin to go to Huilong Tun, and Wang Dalong's family invited some relatives and friends to have a meal, just a formality.
The deer skull had been soaked in bleaching powder for two days and had turned completely white. After using alcohol to remove the odor, Lu Lu put it in a cellar on the floor and turned on a stove fire. After drying it, he found a piece of walnut catalpa wood and drilled a few small holes.
, use wire and glue to fix the deer bones on the wooden board, and then place them on the empty space on the big Kang Qin.
This decoration makes the room more wild and feels more in line with his identity and temperament as a hunter.
Zhao Tuanqing, Zhang Shaofeng and others who had been to Lu Lu's house all found it very interesting when they saw the deer skull ornaments, and they all said that if they met a red deer in the future, they would get one and place it like this.
First of all, it’s good-looking, but mainly because of the beautiful meaning represented by the deer head decoration.
After so many days of harvesting, the fencing timber for the deer farm and the materials needed to build the deer house on the farm have been prepared.
Considering that Chen Xiuqing wanted to build a house, Lu Lu asked Wang Dalong and others to come back and help Chen Xiuqing prepare for the felling.
The house built by Chen Xiuqing was overturned and rebuilt on the basis of the original old house.
After the wood was cut and piled, Wang Dalong and others also began to demolish the old house.
Ma Jinlan and Chen Xiuqing also temporarily stayed at Lu Lu's place.
During this period of time, Lu Lu, including the rest of the people, were all peeling the wood on the farm, especially the wood piles that needed to be planted into the soil. The parts that were buried in the soil also needed to be carbonized to ensure that they could be used.
longer.
A group of people were very busy.
Time flies by so busy, and it’s April in the blink of an eye.
During the Qingming Festival on April 5th, Lu Lu accompanied Chen Xiuyu, Ma Jinlan and Chen Xiuqing to pay homage to their father-in-law. When they came back, he and Aunt Duan led Yuan Bao and several other dogs to Liu Pao's grave.
They paid homage, cleaned the weeds on the grave, burned paper money, and poured water and rice on them.
It's been a year, a whole year.
During this year, Lu Lu gained a lot.
Recalling his previous life, at this time, he was still working hard making brushes in a street workshop in Shanghai, struggling for that meager monthly salary.
But now, back in the mountains, not only has the wooden ridge been built, and a wife has been married, but he has also accumulated tens of thousands of net worth, formed a mountaineering team, and the construction of the family farm is also proceeding in an orderly manner.
The river has already thawed, the ice and snow have melted, and the small river that had been frozen for a month in the meadow began to flow slowly. There was only a large piece of floating ice in the only water bubble in the meadow. It is estimated that in this increasingly warm weather, it will also carry
In just a few days.
This is a new beginning.
It was also on this day that Lu Lu saw dozens of boxes of black bees. Bees began to crawl out from the covered door of the nest and began to fly around the beehives. The temperature was already suitable for the activity of black bees.
The weather will be fine in the next few days.
After the low temperature period in the morning, when the temperature rose, Lu Lu began to remove the straw and other things wrapped on the beehive for insulation, and also made the nest door larger.
The next thing to do is to clean out the impurities accumulated in the beehives over the winter and disinfect them at the same time.
Last year, we left enough honey for the bee swarm. Up to now, there is still honey left in the hive. Except for some old bees in the beehive, they did not survive the long winter and died. The bee colony has shrunk a bit, but overall,
The colony is in very good condition.
This is the strength of the black bee. Even if the temperature reaches minus 30 degrees outdoors, it can still survive the winter safely.
There were still some new nest foundations obtained from Sun Hanwei. Lu Lu replaced the old nest foundations by the way. He used the pollen he left behind, soaked it in sugar and water, and then rolled it into strips and placed it on the nest foundation.
Liang Kuang went up to feed the black bees and started this year's spring reproduction.
Rapeseed flowers are not only found in the south, but also in the northeast. They begin to appear sporadically in May, then enter the peak period, and now they begin to bloom in spring, just right to catch the rape flowers.
The purpose of Lu Lu's spring breeding is to make the bee colony grow as quickly as possible and artificially divide the bees in advance.
Now that we have decided to build a bee farm in the family farm, we need to prepare more bee colonies. We have to wait until June and July for the bees to be naturally divided, which will not be able to keep up with the most economically valuable linden tree honey in beekeeping in the wilderness.
.
It took Lu Lu alone five days to handle the bee swarm.
Chen Xiuyu, who has a big belly, can't help much now. She can only watch Lu Lu working alone.
After finishing his work at the bee farm, Lu Lu whistled for Zhui Feng who had been participating in the Caodianzi activity the next day, and rode to Chen Xiuqing's house in Xiushan Tun to look for Zuo Songling.
In one winter, he completed the furniture making of Zhao Yongke and Chen Xiuqing. In the remaining time, he followed Wang Dalong and others to work at the Xiangshui Creek Forest Farm for a period of time. It was not until the construction of the Lu Lu Family Farm began that a group of people withdrew to help.
The wood for building the fence is almost ready now, but the soil is still frozen and cannot be dug. However, Chen Xiuqing's work on building a house has been taken up again.
When Lu Lu passed by, he saw that Chen Xiuqing's old house had been demolished, the site had been leveled, and the foundation was being built with stones.
In order to start construction ahead of schedule, when digging the soil for the foundation, we burned wood to melt the frozen soil and excavated while burning. It took a lot of effort.
Seeing Lu Lu coming, Chen Xiuqing, who was covered in mud while working with a group of people, came out with a smile: "Brother Lu, why are you here!"
"I'm here to see Brother Zuo!"
Lu Lu patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I have to withdraw Brother Zuo from you. We need a bee farm on the farm, so I have to ask him to help make some beehives."
"Well, this matter is important!" Chen Xiuqing nodded.
The two of them walked towards the foundation and looked around. Lu Lu said jokingly to Wang Dalong: "Brother Wang, you are indeed helping your uncle build a house. How do I look at this work?
When you helped me build my house, it turned out pretty well!"
"I think so too!" Bai Gouzi interjected from the side.
Zuo Songling also joined in with a smile: "You don't know how hard he is pushing for this work all day long. He has to be fast and detailed. He is helping his uncle build a house. He is so serious about it!"
Wang Dalong's face turned red after being talked about by several people, and he said with a dry smile: "It's all the same, it's all the same!"
Lu Lu didn't bother to tease him, and turned to Zuo Songling and said: "Brother Zuo, I have something to ask you again!"
"What's going on?" Zuo Songling put down the stone he had carried into the foundation and looked up at Lu Lu and asked.
"I have to ask you to help me make a batch of beehives. They are the live frame beehives in my meadow. They are the same size. Can you do it?" Lu Lu asked seriously.
"That thing is simple!"
"As long as I can do it, I'll make almost a hundred of them. I think I'll have to wait a month or so to use them. Is it enough time to make them from linden trees in a month?" Lu Lu felt that his idea of making beehives was a good one.
Slower.
After hearing what Lu Lu said, Zuo Songling thought for a while and said hesitantly: "I'm afraid that's not feasible. If it's all mortise and tenon joints, it's a delicate job and there's not enough time!"
“It doesn’t have to be all mortise and tenon joints, you can also use nails. The key is to make it thick, strong and durable!”
Lu Lu also knew that without those woodworking machines at hand, all the mortise and tenon joints had to be chiseled. It was really difficult to do so many things in such a short time.
However, it was just a beehive for beekeeping, not furniture, so it didn’t require much attention. Lu Lu settled on the next best thing, as long as it was usable.
"If that's the case, then there's no problem."
Zuo Songling agreed to the matter: "I will go to your place tomorrow morning to measure the dimensions and start construction immediately... By the way, what should I do with the materials? The freshly cut linden trees cannot be dried, so there is no way to do it!"
"That's no problem. I'll send the wood to you this afternoon."
Lu Lu already had an idea.
Next, he planned to go to Xiangshui Creek Forest Farm to find Nie Jingguo.
It was about to enter the spring plowing season, and Lu Lu felt it was necessary to bring out the needed farm machinery from him now.
The contracted 2,000 acres of cultivated land has warehouses for storing agricultural machinery.
Moreover, two thousand acres of land must be plowed thoroughly as soon as possible. It seems that among the group of people led by Lu Lu, only Lu Lu himself can understand the use of these agricultural machines. He plans to use this opportunity to quickly train two people to help.
The first thing Lu Lu thought of was Meng Zhaohua. He could drive a car and had a certain foundation.
The other one is Zhang Shaofeng.
He is a few years younger than Zhao Yongke and Liang Kangbo, and he is more intelligent than Chen Xiu, so he should be able to learn it quickly.
With the help of two people, the intensity of your work can be greatly reduced. Otherwise, all these places are waiting for you, so you will be very busy.
After making up his mind, Lu Lu turned to Chen Xiuqing and asked, "Qingzi, are Huazi still helping to pull things today?"
"He's still helping to pull it out. There are enough stones, but the cement is still a little lacking. He went to pull it out today and should be back soon."
"Go and do your work. When he comes back, ask him to wait for me here!"
After Lu Lu explained, he went to Zhang Shaofeng's home.
When he arrived at the gate of Zhang Shaofeng's house, he saw that only Zhang Shaofeng's daughter-in-law, Wu Yuejia, was at home, busy carrying the manure accumulated in the pig pen to the manure pond outside.
"Sister-in-law, is Brother Feng at home?" Lu Lu asked through the courtyard door.
"Brother... you scared me!"
Wu Yuejia, who was concentrating on her work, turned her head suddenly with a look of shock. When she saw clearly that it was Lu Lu, he patted his chest, exhaled, and said with a smile: "He is not at home. I was with Liang Pao and Lu this morning."
Brother Zhao went to the farm together. He said he was planning to go to the deer farm and follow Wang Dalong's method and prepare the foundation of the deer house in advance. What do you want to do with him? Tell me, wait for him tonight
Come back and I'll tell him."
There are elderly people at home who have mobility difficulties and always need someone to take care of them. Wu Yuejia wanted to participate when Chen Xiuyu and others were picking wild vegetables and mushrooms in the mountains. As a result, she could never get out. Otherwise, she is also a very capable woman.
"No, I will go directly to the farm to find him later!"
Lu Lu smiled at her and turned around to leave.
After walking a few steps, I heard the sound of a car in the distance.
This is Meng Zhaohua back!
Lu Lu hurriedly walked towards the road. After waiting on the side of the road for a while, Meng Zhaohua drove his car swaying down the dirt road. When he saw Lu Lu waiting at the intersection, he braked and stopped the car.
He stuck his head out of the window: "Brother Lu, what are you doing?"
"I just happened to have something to do with you!"
Lu Lu said, went around to the side, opened the car door, and was about to get into the passenger seat, but was suddenly stunned.
In the cab, besides Meng Zhaohua, there was also Pu Guiying lying on the passenger seat and hiding.
Suddenly discovered, Pu Guiying could only sit up with a blushing face, and smiled at Lu Lu awkwardly: "Brother-in-law..."
Lu Lu grinned: "Why are you hiding so much... When did you two get together?"
