Chapter 13 Go up the mountain to find a spring!
The three-story building looks quite new.
I'm afraid the construction time will not exceed ten years, and there is more than one acre of private land around it.
Han Ying thought that these lands could not be wasted.
At that time, you can plant some vegetables and you can harvest a lot in half a year.
What is even more unexpected is that there is a sun-protection iron sheet on the roof of the third floor of this house.
This way, she wouldn't have to worry about being discovered no matter what she did on the roof.
I heard that there is only one old man living here.
Perhaps for safety reasons, the entire house is surrounded by a wall more than one meter high.
The yard inside was also fenced off, and only an iron gate was opened outside to allow cars to pass through and connect to the cement road outside.
As if hearing the sound of a car outside, the iron gate opened and an old man in his sixties or seventies walked out.
The old man's skin looks very dark, probably because he has been working hard for many years, but he is in good spirits.
"Are you the girl who rented my house?"
The old man had a very bright smile on his face when he saw Han Ying standing next to the car.
"Yes, I agreed yesterday that I would come and stay here today. What's your name?"
Han Ying rented the house without even going to see it yesterday.
Even the rent was paid directly to the agency, so she didn't know the old man.
"My last name is Wang. You look younger than my grandson. You can call me Grandpa Wang. I'll show you around the house, okay? By the way, where's your luggage? I'll help you move in!"
Grandpa Wang was very enthusiastic and he also liked the little girl very much.
To be honest, he really couldn't have imagined that the person who would rent his house would be such a young girl!
Before renting out the house, he always thought that the tenants would be a large family.
After all, although the rent of his house is not expensive, the area is not small.
"I just brought a suitcase with me. Grandpa Wang, please show me around the house first!"
Han Ying patted the trunk to indicate that her suitcase was placed inside.
"Alright!"
As he said that, Grandpa Wang took Han Ying in through the iron gate and took Han Ying to see each floor.
After seeing it, Han Ying felt that renting this place was the right choice.
Han Ying didn't rent this place really to live in. She mainly wanted to store the spring water here and let Shi Yong cook delicious food for her.
After looking at all three floors, Grandpa Wang took Han Ying to stand under the sun-proof iron sheet built on the roof.
Then he pointed his finger to the top of the mountain. The water room where their family stored spring water was on the top of the mountain.
Originally, this three-story house was home to 11 people in total, including the two sons' families and the old couple.
Later, all the sons became successful, some settled in big cities, and some went abroad.
His wife had passed away and he was often ill. His eldest son was worried about him living here alone and wanted to take him abroad to be taken care of.
In the past, in order for the family to live comfortably and have no shortage of water, the grandchildren would play in the water in the summer.
Therefore, the water room on the top of the mountain was built extra large, capable of holding 30 tons of water.
It only takes half a day for the water from the four springs to fill the entire water room, so the water supply is very abundant!
What's more, a deep well was dug outside the yard near the orchard at great expense.
The water from this well is mainly used to irrigate the orchard and the vegetable garden outside. For this purpose, a stainless steel water tower that can hold 3 tons of water is specially installed.
Han Ying looked at the well water and spring water, and found that the water was very clear.
It tastes sweet, which is incomparable to the tap water in the city.
It was a very wise decision for Han Ying to spend more than 20,000 yuan to rent this place for the sake of these waters.
What's more, there is more than one acre of land and dozens of fruit trees on the back hill.
If the land is fully planted in more than half a year, a lot of vegetables can be harvested.
The dozens of fruit trees in the back mountain are about to mature, and these will be supplies by then.
Added Grandpa Wang’s WeChat.
Han Ying promised that she would go to the back mountain every month to take some photos of the fruit trees in the orchard and send them to him.
In addition, Han Ying also asked Grandpa Wang to help find three people in the village to help her go up the mountain to find more springs.
The reason is very simple. She wants to live here permanently because she can't get used to drinking the tap water in the city.
To be on the safe side, find a few more springs to be prepared.
Grandpa Wang didn't say anything about this.
After all, he has been drinking spring water all year round, so he naturally knows that the spring will sometimes dry up, and the water will become turbid when it rains.
He guessed that the girl was worried that if the spring dried up or the water became turbid, she wouldn't know who to ask for help to find the spring, so she made preparations in advance.
The salary offered by Han Ying was also very high.
They would be given 500 yuan for each spring they found, and each person would be paid 200 yuan a day.
Moreover, she has to pay for all the materials needed for drainage herself, and it would be best if it could be done within two days.
There are quite a lot of mountains in the area of Changfu Village, so it is not difficult to find a spring.
Grandpa Wang's family and his two sons found the four springs in less than a day.
So to be honest, if Grandpa Wang wasn't going to leave with his son soon, he would have wanted to make the money himself from the price the little girl offered.
When the three people who were called heard that Han Ying offered such a high price, they didn't even care about the farm work in the fields and went up the mountain directly with their hoes on their shoulders.
While Grandpa Wang was still there, Han Ying asked him to help find a plumber to connect a few more faucets on the roof of the third floor.
It was a simple task and was completed in less than an hour.
Near noon, Grandpa Wang gave Han Ying all the door keys in the building, including all the drawer keys, and then was taken away by his son.
Before leaving, Han Ying saw the reluctance in Grandpa Wang's eyes.
After living in the countryside for most of his life, no one knows whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for an elderly person in the countryside to suddenly have to live abroad.
After Grandpa Wang left, Han Ying locked the door and the yard gate and drove away.
She was going to the hardware store to buy some special faucets and pipes to hold the water.
These things are not sold in regular hardware stores yet, so you need to find a larger one.
Following the navigation on her mobile phone, Han Ying found the largest hardware and plumbing store in Qingping Town.
After telling her boss her request, he didn't ask any further questions.
After all, their store often contracts all the plumbing and hardware materials for large companies. Although the quantity Han Ying wants is not small, it is not the largest.
Han Ying asked for 10,000 meters of 1-inch water pipes, 10,000 meters each of 4-inch and 6-inch pipes, and a total of 1,000 faucets of various models.
We also requested 300 of each of two different types of electronic sensor faucets.
There were a lot of these things, so Han Ying directly reported the address of the rented warehouse and asked them to deliver them there.
But before she left, she took away two rolls of 6-cent water pipes and 20 electronic sensor faucets.
These 20 sensor faucets are not the kind that will produce water just by extending your hand.
Instead, the water is turned on manually, but when the water reaches a certain depth, the electronic faucet will automatically turn off the water, which is similar to an improved version of the float valve.
This faucet is very important to Han Ying's water storage plan.
After all, she can't just wait there until the water is full before taking it away, so it is really necessary to buy this faucet.
