The greenhouse is completed. The next step is to organize the several plots of land in front of and behind the house so that the seedlings can be grown and transplanted. There are five plots of land that need to be organized, one outside the bamboo forest and one in front of the house that was originally intended as an alternative breeding site but was finally passed.
The land in front of the house extends to the left, where there is a long vegetable plot. That vegetable plot is connected to several other plots of land, forming a 3D stereoscopic pattern, with a transitional buffer zone in the middle - a drying dam.
The land outside the bamboo forest is at the top of this piece of land, and it progresses in a stepped manner.
Divided into several sections, it can actually be reduced to one large area. The He family's plan is to fence off the entire area, but one thing must be considered: a path must be left for everyone to pass through.
After all, the only way to get to the river from the He family is through the drying dam. If it is completely surrounded, it will inevitably hinder the passage of the villagers.
Fortunately, there are not many villagers living near He Luyi's home, only two or three families. Therefore, if it must be said that it is an obstacle, it is actually not that big of an impact.
But it is necessary to leave a small path.
After considering the terrain, Old Hetou decided to fence off the area above the drying dam separately, and then put up another fence around the drying dam and the land below it.
Yesterday, the two brothers He Lao Da had almost prepared the corresponding bamboo strips. They used 10 bamboos as the greenhouse frame, and there were 40 bamboos left, all of which could be used as materials for the fence. The whole family joined in, and today's task was to complete the work of the fence.
Taking the He family courtyard as the starting point, a fence gate was first installed at the entrance of the greenhouse. This fence gate is not ordinary. It is not the conventional height of about half a meter for an adult. In order to avoid sight, the height is one person high, based on the height of He Feng (after all, he is the tallest one in the He family), slightly higher by five or six centimeters.
Therefore, the height of the fence is about 1.8 meters. Because the height is too high, the operation becomes much more difficult and requires the use of a ladder.
When He Luyi saw the wooden ladder at home, she couldn't help but feel troubled, because the ladder must have a supporting attachment point, but the He family's yard didn't have one!
He Luyi is not sure whether the stepladder of later generations has been manufactured now, but it would be useless even if it was manufactured, and it is too late to buy it now.
Sure enough, no matter how much you think about it, there will always be something missed. Oh, the girl sighed.
However, the worries did not last long. He Feng, the smartest man in the He family, came up with an idea. After all, the main thing was to fix the fence and then connect them one by one. A lot of connecting ropes were prepared.
But this is not the point. The fence needs to be deeply rooted in the soil (except for the gate) to ensure that it will not be easily opened. In fact, the fence is just a transitional use, and a wall will still need to be built later.
If the current conditions do not allow, let's stop for now.
"Then let's build a platform with bricks or something, I'll stand on it, fix the fence, and then we can start working." He Feng would say. Since he is the tallest, he must take advantage of his height and use it to the fullest.
However, this will lead to a labor shortage and it may take longer to complete the fence.
In fact, the plan is not just to build one layer of fence, but to add several more layers to extend the service life, at least until the first wave of vegetables are harvested and sold, and then when we have the capital, we can hire a craftsman to start building the wall.
But the longer-term consideration is to rebuild the house in a better and more orderly manner.
This is what happened next.
The He family was divided into two teams, one team consisted of the men of the He family, and the two children, He Ming and He Xing, followed to help. Of course, He Xing was purely a mascot.
The other team of He family women had many more women than men, and the two pairs combined were well-matched in strength, just right.
After all, although He Luyi is very powerful, he is only half as strong as her, and the little carrot head can't afford to hurt her.
They each started in two different directions, one group expanding along the bamboo forest, the other along the edge of the land in front of the gate. Finally, the two groups converged, forming a large encirclement.
The final effect is that the He family yard is in the shape of the number "6", which is tightly surrounded and includes the space between the bamboo forest and the cave. The cave side is also a large area, which is suitable for keeping ducks. They can be released during the day to roam freely and return home at night to have a good rest.
The piece of land outside the bamboo forest is a separate world, long and full of soil, waiting for the young seedlings to come and settle down.
The area in front of the house is surrounded by a continuous fence, which is the largest area. There is no other way, so we cannot fence it off in its entirety, so we leave a small path to facilitate others and ourselves.
It doesn’t matter for this long stretch of land. Just build a fence to ensure that not even a single person can be seen.
Oh, no, you can still see it if you stand in the yard.
The He family's grand display attracted many onlookers from the villagers. Everyone came to watch the fun, and the more enthusiastic ones even lent a hand. It was just a fence, but in the countryside where the busy farming season had not yet begun, it became a big gossip. Crowds of people gathered in one place, their curiosity overflowing.
"He Laogen, what's going on in your family? They're so strict." He Genyuan, who has a good relationship with old He, well, he's also an old man of the same age as him, so he asked directly.
There is no need to hide the relationship between the two of them, just say whatever you want to say.
It can be said that He Genyuan and Old Hetou grew up together. Even after they got married and had their own families, their relationship remained the same.
Of course, it is also possible that He Genyuan was able to tolerate Old He's bad temper and not bother with him.
