Chapter 063: Last-Minute Cramming
After lunch, the three of them took a rest.
After getting up, Yang Zengyue went down the mountain. The water in the rice fields had to be stored every day, otherwise the seeds would not grow well after germination.
The seedlings have been planted for more than a week and have grown to two centimeters tall.
Yang Zengyue called Uncle Fan and told him about the situation of the seedlings, and received a reply from Uncle Fan.
The second-season rice seedlings here in Sikunshan can be transplanted in more than 20 days.
In other words, it will be time to plant rice in fifteen or sixteen days. Uncle Fan has already arranged for the machines, and only six mu of land needs to be planted manually.
Now Yang Zengyue only needs to prepare the fertilizer, and the rest can be left to the machine.
There has always been water in the fields. Because of growing medicinal herbs for many years, the soil quality has changed a lot. In order to improve the element-richness of the soil, Yang Zengyue plans to go to the farm in the next village to buy some chicken manure and pig manure.
It can be used in the future.
Put in a small amount and let it ferment for ten days or so, then it will be just right for transplanting rice seedlings.
After Uncle Fan hung up the phone, the two of them calculated the time and decided to go collect farm manure in the afternoon.
The farm manure is fermented, so they can directly sprinkle it on the fields after returning, so there is no need to worry about burning the seedlings.
After spreading the fertilizer, Yang Zengyue frowned and sat on the edge of the field: "Jia'er, I find that we still have a lot of things to do. I can't help myself."
She thought that if she split herself into three, she might be able to sort out her problems.
"Sister Zengyue, just call me if you need any errands." Chen Jiaer also knew that she was like a top, spinning all the time lately.
Yang Zengyue stretched out his hand to pull the weeds on the ridge of the field. "After finishing the work in the fields, we have to go to Fenggu to take a look. That's the important thing."
Fenggu is related to their future electricity use in Sikunshan. Whether they can use electricity depends on them.
Chen Jiaer scratched his head. "I haven't studied mechanical principles. I wonder if I can learn this kind of engineering just by reading books?"
She is a freshman and only started school in September. Her major is finance, which has nothing to do with engineering or mechanical principles.
Yang Zengyue majored in medicine in college and was only a sophomore when school started.
She had planned to return to Kunshan after graduation to become a teacher or doctor in her field, so that she could accompany her master.
With her grades at that time, she could go to the best school and the best major in the whole of Zhongwei, but she didn't go.
Jiuxiao couldn't do anything to her.
Thinking that it would be nice for a girl to become a teacher or a doctor in the future, as it would be a stable job and would be conducive to starting a family, I agreed to let her apply for the medical major at Nanyuan University.
Yang Zengyue didn't know if cramming would be of any use. "After returning to Nanyuan, I plan to audit a few engineering courses. I've also bought a lot of books. If I really can't figure it out, we can ask the technicians who built the Fenggu Power Station to help us when we return in October."
Or, before the end of the world, they will find an expert in this field and bring him to Sikunshan, but they don’t know if anyone is willing to come.
I don’t know if I can find someone by then. If I can successfully persuade Jiang Huiyong to come to Sikunshan, I guess I won’t have to worry.
Jiang Huiyong is good at mechanics.
She put this matter on her schedule.
We also need to buy a few diesel generators, but these can only be used in the first year of the apocalypse.
Later, materials such as diesel and gasoline will be subject to special control. Even if they can stockpile them now, they will not be able to stockpile too much.
After all, buying too much of this thing will arouse suspicion.
Unless they go to each gas station to stock up, but that has to be before the end of the world.
Thinking of this, Chen Jiaer decided to let Zengyue take her to southern Yunnan after the construction of the house started tomorrow. She wanted to buy a car!
In September, they drove two cars back to Nanyuan. They refueled at every gas station they encountered along the way, then filled the oil into oil cans and stored it in the space.
Yang Zengyue also had this plan.
Save as much as you can.
After filling the field with water, the two rode their electric bikes back home.
The sun was scorching in the afternoon in July, and the two of them were wrapped up tightly. They wanted to fly home immediately to drink a bowl of iced sour plum soup.
When I got home, Pumpkin was lying under the eaves with his tongue stretched out, and the ground was covered with water stains dripping from his tongue.
Yang Zengyue had no choice but to find an extra-large basin, fill it with water, drag it under the pomegranate tree, and let it soak in it.
Jiuxiao was reading a book in his room. When he heard the noise, he knew the two children had returned, so he closed the book and walked out of the room.
When Yang Zengyue saw his master, he reported the situation in the fields and also told him about his future plans.
After planting the rice seedlings, they were ready to start construction on the first floor.
Jiuxiao chose an auspicious day and the construction of the house will start early tomorrow morning, starting with the foundation.
Because the nearby quarry had been closed long ago and there were not enough stones available, Yang Zengyue and his team could only use reinforced concrete to build a frame structure for the foundation, and then lay bricks after the frame was completed.
You can make the frame at the same time as the foundation. After it is completed, you have to wait for a while before starting to build. After that, the speed will be faster.
Two floors should be built before she returns to Nanyuan. She can ask Fan Jinggang's father to help take a look at the remaining floor. There shouldn't be any big problems.
When they come back, we will start decorating.
It would be better to empty the house after it is built before decorating it, but Yang Zengyue knew that time was running out, so he could only start painting the interior and exterior walls after the house was built.
Just do some simple decoration.
She and Chen Jiaer had already set their eyes on the furniture and had already started purchasing some of them.
All placed in the space.
The two of them had even placed orders for the wooden floors in the room, as well as various practical tools and kitchen utensils.
Jiuxiao also knew that the progress would be a bit rushed, but there was no other way.
They have to stay in Nanyuan for at least a month and will not be back until October.
There is no leap month this year, so October is already the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and there are only two months left until the winter month.
They had to harvest crops such as rice and corn when they came back, so they both arranged everything they could do.
Also working at night.
Otherwise I would be too busy.
Jiuxiao calculated the time and said, "Let's arrange it this way. Tell Jinggang not to rush the project and to ensure the quality."
After receiving the dividends from the Shi family, Jiuxiao asked Yang Zengyue to pay all the money, including various material costs, workers' wages, subsidies, etc.
In addition, Fan Jinggang has already been found for the greenhouse engineering team, and construction can begin after Yang Zengyue completes the construction drawings.
Agriculture in southern Yunnan has developed well in recent years, and greenhouses are on the rise.
However, there are various types of greenhouses. If different crops are grown, there will be differences in details, but the difference will not be too big.
Yang Zengyue's greenhouse is intended to be used for growing vegetables and fruits. The rice, corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes they grow in the summer can be eaten for a long time, but vegetables and fruits have to be grown by themselves.
After all, Chen Jiaer's space is limited and cannot store so many vegetables and fruits.
Even though they had more space after returning, they decided to grow some of their own because there were so many supplies to store.
