Chapter 34
Keep working
After Fang Xin finished planting the bamboos, he sat down on the grass to rest. The grass was soft and quite comfortable to sit on.
Fang Xin looked at everything in the pasture with satisfaction. The grass was lush, the livestock were grazing, and the birds were flying overhead.
The air is sweet and the breeze is gentle.
I feel extremely comfortable, my mind is empty and I don’t think about anything.
Because there is nothing to worry about.
She walked forward as she watched the livestock finish eating the grass and then drink the water in the trough. The water in the trough was almost empty.
First scrub the trough clean, then fill it with water.
The water trough should be filled with water at all times to ensure that the livestock have sufficient water supply.
Fang Xin thought that storing water in this way was too troublesome and he would inevitably forget sometimes.
She should dig a pool.
Planting some lotus roots can purify the water. The lotus roots are also edible. You can also raise some fish in it. By the way, you can also go to the river to catch some fish when you have time.
Fish is delicious, so how can we miss fish?
We got down to work right away. We found a good location and started digging 10 meters away from the fence on the west side and 20 meters away from the enclosure.
After measuring the dimensions, the pool is approximately 10 meters long, 5 meters wide and 1 meter deep.
Get out the excavator and start digging.
He controlled the excavator and dug out the tall grass along with it.
The grass had grown to knee-high height, and the livestock in the pasture had more than enough to eat.
After eating it for two days, you will slowly grow taller.
Fang Xin piled the excavated soil aside. This soil was all good stuff, so he packed it in containers to create storage space.
The bottom and walls of the dug pit are compacted, and the soil around the pool is also compacted hard and compacted, and the fill soil is compacted to be level with the surrounding soil.
After the pool was dug and I was about to fill it with water, my hand stopped just as I was about to take out the water tower.
Wait, why waste the water resources that we worked so hard to store? Isn’t it the same to use the accumulated snow? Snow water is also water, and it can save a lot of water.
Fang Xin, who was about to put the snow in, suddenly thought of something and quickly withdrew his hand.
First plant some lotus seeds at the bottom of the pit, and then fill it with water to avoid getting your clothes wet.
Fang Xin picked some larger and stronger lotus roots from the space as seeds, jumped into the pit and buried them in the soil, with a spacing of about 70 to 80 centimeters between each. She didn't plant them too densely, as she could not eat too much by herself, so just planting a few would be enough.
After planting, Fang Xin was about to climb out of the pit. The dog thought it was fun and was running and jumping in the pit. When it saw Fang Xin climbing out, it stepped on Fang Xin's back for leverage and jumped out.
Fang Xin was confused.
Well, this guy is in great shape.
Everything is ready except for storing water.
There shouldn't be anything to prepare this time.
Fang Xin used the collected snow to fill the entire pool until the pool was full of water.
Fang Xin clapped his hands, "Perfect, another great achievement."
Soon, poultry came over to play in the water. Ducks and geese all loved playing in the water, splashing water and creating ripples.
She was a little worried that if things continued like this, the water in the pool would become smelly! Should she rebuild the entire ecological pool and install a filter to purify the water?
Never mind. It’s too much trouble. Let’s leave it like this for now.
Fang Xin stood up and walked back to the planting area.
The empty space previously left needs to be cleaned up and the mobile villa moved out.
Otherwise, there would be no place to sleep every time I entered the space.
As for laying the foundation, there is no need to do that as it is too troublesome. Just tamp the ground and lay some flooring.
There were no earthquakes or floods in space.
After measuring the approximate location, she asked her old partner to come out again.
Fang Xin started working skillfully.
The movements are very skillful.
By the way, we also need to dig a sewer, one for the kitchen and one for the bathroom, but where should the sewage in the space be drained?
Fang Xin decided to dig a sewage pool behind the house and drain all the dirty water there.
Fang Xin immediately put down the work in her hands and started digging the hole again. This time she wanted to dig deeper, about 3 meters deep would be enough. Anyway, the water consumption for one person was not that much.
This time we couldn't use an excavator to dig the hole, so we had to dig the soil little by little with a shovel and put the dug soil directly into the storage space. It would be fine to dig a 1 meter square hole, no need to dig too big.
Fang Xin was afraid that the soil in the pit was too wet and would cause a landslide, so he built another layer of bricks around the pit walls to avoid collapse.
Then they dug out sewer pipes, running from high to low, to make drainage easier.
After laying the drainage pipes, take out a large iron plate to cover the water tank.
This large iron plate was found in the warehouse and is perfect for this place.
After the sewage pool was completed, they went back to compact the foundation, laid a layer of floor on the foundation, and left a sewer outlet.
Finally everything was done. Fang Xin stood up and straightened his back. He could now take out the villa. From now on, he would finally have a place to rest in the space.
The last step is to clean and decorate the house.
The small villa has one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, about 60 square meters.
She can handle it all by herself.
After cleaning everything inside and out, Fang Xin disinfected everything inside and out with disinfectant alcohol before he felt relieved.
Take out the furniture and appliances and put them away.
Place all the solar panels on the roof, connect the electricity, and then power on all the home appliances.
The solar water heater is installed in the bathroom.
To use electricity in space, you can just use solar power, which is quiet, easy to use, and saves fuel.
Then I took out the solar lamp I found in the warehouse earlier, placed it on the windowsill in front of the house to charge it, and kept it for backup use.
After walking around the house, I felt very happy and had accomplished another big thing.
Finally everything is done and I can take a break.
I have been working in the space for the past ten days. It feels like I have been even busier since the end of the world. I haven't had much rest and my whole body is aching.
Fang Xin led the dog out of the space and returned to the second floor.
Take off all your dirty clothes and throw them into the washing machine.
Took a hot shower.
After taking a shower, wrap yourself in a skin-friendly bathrobe.
She walked towards the sofa, wiping her dripping hair and stepping barefoot on the expensive carpet.
As soon as she sat down, the dog lay obediently at her feet.
Fang Xin lazily sank into the leather sofa, fell down and lay completely flat.
This sofa is really nice, it feels soft and comfortable, as if it has magical powers, it makes me feel dizzy and my eyelids feel heavy.
The wind is howling outside, but it is comfortable and quiet inside.
The man and the dog were sleeping soundly, their breathing sounds like music, flowing in the air.
