The richest man in the leisurely country

Chapter 283 Building a Wall
"You are this?"

Seeing Ah Li coming out of the house with a hoe, Su Mu, who was standing on a pile, couldn't help but stop and looked at her curiously.

Unexpectedly, she would also start doing farm work, which was really beyond Su Mu's expectation.

"I can't find anything to do. When I was weeding yesterday, I saw some vacant land on the mountain behind you. I plan to dig it and plant some vegetables." Ali said.

She is thin and small, carrying a hoe, and she doesn't look like doing farm work.

However, as Ali, who is in the middle stage of dark energy, there must be nothing to say about her strength.

Upon hearing this, Su Mu laughed immediately.

She should be trying to integrate into this kind of country life now and find fun in it.

"Yes, yes, then I won't stand here anymore, I will go to the back to stand and watch you dig the ground."

While talking, Su Mu walked towards Ali.

Ali didn't care about this, and let Su Mu follow.

When the two came to the back mountain, Ali put down her head first, then squatted down and started pulling grass.

Su Mu had planted this land before, but because of time, he was unable to manage it. Instead, he planted several kinds of fruit trees in the above land.

Now those fruit trees are almost grown, but it's a pity that Su Mu only watered the fairy dew once, so they started to bloom, but there was no fruit.

"Then you weed slowly, I'll stand for a while, I won't go up the mountain to plow the land today, I'll stay here with you."

Seeing Ah Li start working, Su Mu found an open space and started to stand.

While standing on the stake, I watched Ali weeding.

A Li's small hands kept pulling back and forth in the field, and the handfuls of grass were easily uprooted.

The land that has been moistened with fairy dew is not so hard, but becomes extremely soft.

Otherwise, without a sickle, she really wouldn't be able to weed so easily.

These few pieces of land are fairly flat, and they add up to about one-fifth of the land. It used to be one mu of private land, half of which was used by Su Mu to pick fruit trees.

Of course, those who pick fruit trees are a few blocks above, leaning against a small cliff.

On top of the fruit tree is the chicken pen, with black wolves and raccoon cats looking after it, so Su Mu doesn’t have to worry about it, but occasionally the second aunt will go up, pull out the fat chickens, ducks and geese, and let Li Ergou and the others drive them to the city Sell.

Therefore, the number of chickens, ducks and geese has always been maintained at around one or two hundred.

"Well, you dig the ground first, I'll get some cement slurry, and put these loose stones on the side of the stalk, so that it will be easier to plant in the future."

After standing on the pile for an hour, seeing that Ah Li had cleaned up the ground and cleared all the weeds, Su Mu suddenly stood up on a whim.

While talking, Su Mu drove to the field.

When they arrived at Su Chengjun's side, they first got some cement and sand and put them in the trunk of the car, then brought the gray knife and hammer, and brought a bucket along the way.

After Su Mu came back, Ali had already started digging the ground, and the speed was still very fast.

"Hey, can't you tell, I didn't expect you to be quite good at digging the ground."

Seeing that Ali dug well, the hoe went down to the bottom, and then lightly hooked, the soil was extremely soft.

Not to mention, in fact, in the countryside, digging is also a technical job.

Those who can dig will save effort, but if they can't dig, not only will their hands be blistered, but their whole body will be sore and limp, because they will not use force and save effort.

To do coolie work, the grasp of strength and skills is very particular.

But it can be seen that Ali is a veteran in this field.

For Su Mu's praise, Ali, who was digging the ground, just paused for a while, and then continued to dig her own ground.

Su Mu went home and got a hoe, carried the sand and cement, put it on a flat ground, and carried a few buckets of water to mix the sand and cement into mortar.

In fact, this private plot is also a mountainous area, but it is relatively flat piece by piece.

But the layers are like terraced fields, and the stalks are piled up with stones, which are easy to fall, so Su Mu thought of using mortar to build the walls to make them firmer.

Of course, it's just a layer on the top.

Su Mu doesn't build very high, the height and width of about [-] to [-] centimeters are about the same.

Speaking of which, this was Su Mu's first time building a wall.

In the past, when someone built a house, they went to break the stones, hammered them with their hands, and after they were crushed into particles, they were beaten with a sand machine, so that the sand came out.

But now many people don't use this method to build houses, they just go to the battlefield and spend money to buy them.

Although the cost is higher, it is also very time-saving and labor-saving.

In the past, it took about half a year to see a one-story house, even if it was one-story, but now it can be completed with two floors in a month.

In this way, you can make money in the remaining few months without any effort, which is very convenient.

Although I have never built a wall, I have never eaten pork and even seen pigs running.

Su Mu is also like a cat and a tiger. He knows that the main thing to pay attention to is flatness and straightness in building walls. He was still very unfamiliar at the beginning, but gradually found the trick.

He built the walls, and Ah Li was responsible for digging the ground.

The two have a good understanding of the division of labor and cooperation.

If you don't know, you really think they are husband and wife, and they are the enviable kind.

Su Mu naturally didn't think so, and Ah Li certainly didn't think so either.

"It looks pretty good, although it's a little worse than craftsmen, but it's barely okay."

After digging the ground for a while, Ah Li was probably a little tired, so she ran over to watch Su Mu build the wall.

She put the hoe on the ground, then sat on the handle of the hoe, and sat there quietly watching Su Mu build the wall.

Hearing this, Su Mu laughed and said, "It's okay. After all, I grew up and haven't done it before, so the speed will be slower. But in terms of quality, it still looks good."

While talking, Su Mu dug a pile of mortar with a gray knife and placed it on top of the stone.

After laying for a certain distance, it will be paved with mortar, so that it will be convenient to walk on it.

There are big stones under this stalk, and Su Mu uses small stones to build it on top to make it stronger.

That way, you don't have to worry about the stalk falling over.

"I'll go back and drink some water and dig again."

After watching Su Mu puzzle for a while, Ali stood up and walked home.

The weather was still hot, and Su Mu forgot to bring water.

When Ali came back, she also brought a bottle of frozen mineral water for Su Mu.

"I remember when I was a child, when my parents were working in the fields, they would ask me to go back to boil water when I was thirsty, and put tea leaves in it after boiling the water."

"Then use that kind of water bottle and carry it to the ground. After drinking it, it will quench your thirst."

After taking a sip of the cold mineral water, Su Mu felt refreshed and couldn't help thinking about the past.

It's a pity that I can no longer see the scenes of parents busy in the field.

"In addition to tea, there is also rice wine. First boil the rice and put it away. After a while, it will become rice wine. Then put some brown sugar in it. It is also very good to soak in water and drink."

Ali continued.

These are the scenes they vividly remembered when they were young.

For some reason, when talking about these little things, Ali's eyes became gentle.

"Yes, there is also just a large pot of sugar water to the mountain, and drink it when you are thirsty. When we opened the road here, I was often responsible for delivering meals." Su Mu wiped his forehead while building the wall The sweat drops laughed.

Su Mu's smile is very sunny, innocent and childlike.
