Ma Yu held his lover in a daze, lying on his back on the slope, looking at the dark night sky, with a satisfied smile on his lips.

Xiao Hong's consciousness gradually recovered. He moved his aching knees, turned his head and glanced at the person next to him, his eyes full of affection.

"Go back! It's a bit cold!"

"it is good!"

Ma Yu quickly put the two men on each other, picked up the bowls and chopsticks that had rolled down the slope at some point, and handed them to Xiao Hong, "You take the bowls, and I'll carry you!"

Then he turned around and squatted down, looking back at his stunned lover, "Come up!"

A smile appeared on Xiao Hong's lips, and he quickly stepped forward and lay on his back, holding a pair of bowls and chopsticks in one hand, and innocently wrapped his arms around his lover's shoulders.

Ma Yu reached out and held his knees, weighed him up, and then stepped down the slope with a smile.

On the quiet mountain road, the silhouettes of the two people were stretched by the moonlight.

Ma Yu walked slowly and hummed a tune softly.

Xiao Han listened carefully, and the smile in his eyes became even bigger. He knew that this man was trying to reassure him.

As the evening breeze blew, he squinted his eyes slightly, rested his head on the man's broad back, and gradually fell asleep.

When Ma Yu heard a small snoring sound, he couldn't help but curled his lips and continued to hum the song...

----

The sky has just dawned, and the valley is surrounded by white mist in the early morning. Several crisp bird calls can be heard from the surrounding mountains and forests, indicating that a new day is about to begin.

Xiao Han and Xiao Han walked out of the tent one after another, looking at the rising sun. Qiu Qiu stretched, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then put down his arms and looked at each other.

“It’s going to be another great day!”

"Correct!"

Xiao Han tilted his head and kissed him on the cheek, then stood up straight and smiled, "Have a nice day!"

Han Jie lifted up the tent and couldn't help but shake his head and laugh when he saw this scene, "It's so early in the morning! You two are just showing off!"

"I'm happy with it, but why do you talk so much all day!?" Xiao Gao frowned and rolled his eyes at him, then walked towards Qiu Qiu and the other two.

"Hey! Baby!?"

Han Jie followed behind him and said with an aggrieved face, "Why do I feel that you dislike me more and more now? You are attacking me every day!"

Xiao Gao turned around and glanced at him, "Who makes you act like a menopausal old man all day long, babbling non-stop!?"

"You, you actually dislike me for being old, you..."

Han Jie looked like he couldn't stand it anymore. He covered his heart with his hands, holding his heart like a chest, and winked and said, "Baby is like a big pig's hooves. If you get my person and my heart, you won't cherish it. I, I... …”

Xiao Gao couldn't stand his noisy energy, raised his hand and pointed to the river in the distance, "Then you go jump into the river!"

Han Jie was shocked and looked at him blankly, "Huh? You, you won't let me stay!?"

"Pfft!"

Qiu Qiu covered his mouth and snickered, and Xiao Han couldn't help laughing. Seeing everyone leaving the tent one after another, he quickly smiled and said, "Okay, okay! Stop making trouble, there are still a lot of things to do today! Hurry up and have breakfast, okay Work!”

Han Jie pursed his lips, "Okay!"

Seeing his unwillingness, Xiao Gao smiled and leaned over, whispering a few words in his ear. Han Jie immediately grinned, stretched out his hand and hugged him tightly, "I know, baby loves me! "

"what----"

Everyone came over and happened to see this man acting coquettishly. They all rubbed their arms in disgust and looked at him with disgust, "Brother Han, that's enough. A tall guy in his [-]s and above is still acting coquettishly. It's not too irritating to the eyes!" ?”

Han Jie gritted his teeth and let go of Xiao Gao, rushed forward, laughed and cursed, and raised his foot to kick him, "Chen Gang, your skin is itchy, aren't you?"

Chen Gang ran away quickly, then turned back and raised his eyebrows at him and laughed, "Hey! You can't kick!"

"Hey! Are you provoking me?"

Han Jie rolled up his sleeves and was about to chase him, but Xiao Han held him tightly, "Okay, okay, let's get down to business? Don't make trouble!"

Chen Gang nodded quickly, then made a truce gesture to Han Jie, then walked over quickly and stood next to his Zhuang Qi. He didn't know how to do it, but he also succeeded in getting a blank look.

Qiu Qiu shook his head and laughed. He raised his hand and clapped it several times. After attracting everyone's attention, he spoke seriously and divided the work for everyone today.

The blockage in the upper part of the river had been cleared by Xiao Han yesterday. The reservoir could be built at any time, but farming and building houses could not be delayed.

Qiu Qiu asked him to lead people to clear away all the weeds around the camp for later use.

Since wood is essential for building a house, this task is given to Han Jie and Xiao Gao. They are responsible for cutting down the wood specially used for building houses and drying it in the shade for later use.

Chen Gang and Zhuang Qi were responsible for taking people to chop wood and collect fuel in the mountains and forests, while Zhao Jingyu and his team were responsible for hunting and collecting for the team's use.

After all, this place is not as rich in products as Qiuhan Base. While they are building infrastructure, they must collect all materials quickly, otherwise in winter, if materials are scarce, life will be very difficult.

Liang Shaotang and his wife had young children, so Qiu Qiu asked them to stay at the camp with their half-grown children, such as glutinous rice balls, Dudu, and Juanjuan, to cook and organize supplies on the car.

As for the rest of the team members, they all followed him to take charge of the brick kiln and assigned them their tasks. After everyone had breakfast, they went about their business.

The soil dug out yesterday was not enough. Qiu Qiu asked Zhang Yi to bring 200 people to dig out the soil and transport it back to the brick kiln. Cao He and the others were responsible for crushing and sifting all the soil.

And he took Yue Xiang, Chen Nan and others to start making bricks.

Before that, he led people to dig a larger circular pit, covered it with a thick tarpaulin, and fixed the excess area outside the pit with heavy objects.

Then, everyone will crush and sift the soil and pour it into the pit, then add an appropriate amount of water and wait for the water to fully penetrate the soil.

After doing this, it was already noon. After everyone returned to the camp and ate lunch hastily, they continued to work.

At this time, the soil had been fully penetrated by water. Qiu Qiu and more than 20 team members immediately went into the pit and started the next step of kneading the soil.

They stepped vigorously back and forth in the pit with their bare feet until the soil and water fully merged and turned into thick, sticky soil that could be shaped.

Due to too much mud, in the evening, people from other teams took a break, and they had not yet trampled the mud.

Xiao Han took a look from a distance and asked everyone to eat quickly and go help. He was holding a steamed cake and eating it while walking. When he arrived at the brick kiln, he had already eaten it all. He clapped his hands and shouted loudly: Mudeng Qiu Qiu in.

"You go to eat, I'll take your place!"

With that said, he didn't care whether Qiu Qiu agreed or not, so he took off his shoes and jumped into the mud pit. Everyone immediately laughed and cheered, "Hey! Our Captain Xiao is really good at hurting people!"

"That is!"

Xiao Han raised his chin proudly, then smiled and said, "Just wait for 10 minutes, others will come to replace you soon!"

Zhang Yi and others smiled and waved their hands, "It's okay, it's okay, it won't last long!"

Seeing that he couldn't get in, Qiu Qiu raised his hand and patted Xiao Han's shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work! I'll take a bite and give you some more!"

"it is good!"

Qiu Qiu smiled so hard that her eyebrows curled up, and then she pulled out her feet and climbed up the mud pit with great effort. Unexpectedly, when she raised her eyes, she saw glutinous rice balls in the distance. She was holding a basket in one hand and pushing a stroller with the other. The younger brother hoped that if he walked towards this place, he would know that the child was here to bring them food.

He was so soft-hearted that he raised his hand and pointed at the two children, shouting excitedly to Xiao Han in the mud pit, "Brother Han! My son is here to bring us food!"

When everyone heard his words, they all turned around with envy and saw Tangyuan smiling at everyone, while Little Hope happily waved her arms and shouted, "Dad, eat, eat, eat!"

The look was so cute that everyone called her cute. Chen Nan smacked her lips and exclaimed, "I also want to have such a cute child!"

Yue Xiang laughed, stretched out his hand to turn him around, "Just take a wife and have one child!?"

Chen Nan shook his head and said dejectedly, "No one!"

Yue Xiang sighed softly, raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "It's okay, neither have I! But in a few years, we will definitely have it!"

"Yeah!" Chen Nan grinned. Although he knew that the man was speaking comforting words, he was still happy.

Qiu Qiu knelt down and kissed Little Hope. The child reached out excitedly, "Daddy, give me a hug, give me a hug!"

"Ouch! My baby!"

He lowered his head to touch the child's forehead, "Daddy's clothes are dirty, so I can't hold him. Can I hold him again after he takes a bath?"

"Okay~~"

Little Hope grinned and nodded. Tangyuan reached out and touched his head. He looked at Qiu Qiu who stood up and said with a raised lip, "Dad, let's eat first! You've been tired for a long day! I'll replace Dad Xiao!"

"Be good! Don't go!"

Qiu Qiu reached out and took the basket, took out one of the meals, then sat on the ground and ate while saying, "Dad Xiao just came down. Even if you call him, he won't come up. Besides, this job requires a lot of strength. You go down." If it takes a lot of effort, let him do it!”

"OK then!"

Tang Yuan'er nodded helplessly, stretched out his hand to take his brother out, and sat next to Qiu Qiu together, looking at Qiu Qiu eating with smiling eyes, "That's great!"

"What's so good?"

Qiu Qiu picked up an egg with chopsticks and quickly fed it into his mouth. Then he picked up a piece and fed it into his little son's mouth. It was so delicious that the little boy shook his head and shouted that it was delicious.

Tang Yuan was amused by his younger brother's appearance, "I mean, it's great for our family to be together!"

"Ok!"

Qiu Qiu nodded and looked at his son with tender eyes, "Dad Xiao and Dad Qiu are very proud and happy to have a son like you. Of course, there is also our little hope."

Tangyuan's eyes felt hot, "My brother and I are too!"

He pointed to the food Qiu Qiu was holding with some embarrassment, "Dad, eat it quickly! Otherwise it won't taste good when it gets cold!"

"it is good……"

After the soil was trampled and the moon was rising, everyone climbed up into the mud pit and went to the river to wash away the mud. Then they dragged their tired bodies back to the camp to rest.

After the thick soil collects water overnight, it achieves the effect of making bricks.

Everyone immediately gathered the soil in the pit into a pile and covered it with plastic film to prevent the water from evaporating.

All the trampled mud must be turned into bricks within a week, otherwise the moisture in the adobe will evaporate after more than a week and it will no longer be usable.

Therefore, they can only seize the time to make adobes.

Prepare the tools for making bricks, such as brick boxes, wire bows, backing plates, etc.

Since there was no operating platform, we temporarily used thick wooden stakes to be driven into the ground to a depth of one foot, and then nailed thick wooden boards on top, and then covered them with a layer of iron plates.

Everyone was worried that the table would be damaged by the rain, so they hurriedly built a simple awning of about [-] square meters, and then started making it.

Everyone followed Qiu Qiu's steps and placed the pad on the flat operating platform and placed the brick box on it. Then they used a sharp wire bow to cut off pieces of clay, grabbed them with both hands, and then smashed the bricks into the bricks. Inside the box, use a wire bow to cut off the excess adobe on the surface of the brick box.

There needs to be a gap in the middle of the brick box, so that the wire bow can be used to cut the entire brick into two parts along the gap.

Afterwards, everyone put the backing board and the brick box together in the place reserved in advance for placing raw bricks. Then they unlocked the brick box, loosened the splint, and removed the brick box. The two finished bricks appeared in front of everyone. In front of you.

The next step is to wait for the bricks to dry naturally before putting them into the brick kiln for firing. The drying time for the bricks is about one month.

Therefore, they seize the time to get more raw bricks so that they can be fired in batches later.

Seeing that everyone had mastered the skills, Qiu Qiu sent Zhang Yi and Cao He with 200 team members to take charge of this matter.

As for the others, they followed him into the farming plan.

In the flat valley where the camp is located, Xiao Han and his men harvested the weeds from the foot of the mountain to the exit, which took a lot of time.

Qiu Qiu calculated that this area covers an area of ​​about 3600 acres.

After discussing with everyone, he decided to move the camp to the foot of the mountain in the south, directly opposite the exit of the valley.

In this way, after the base is built, if someone comes to visit, they will be able to see it at a glance and have time to respond.

At the location of the camp, Qiu Qiu circled 500 acres of land in case the population increased in the future and there would be extra space to build houses.

And these 300 acres of land not only include residential areas, but also include schools, medical rooms, research institutes, auditoriums, collective kang rooms, large canteens, granaries, material warehouses, weapons depots, incubators, darkrooms, garages, breeding farms, and more. There are fish ponds, shrimp ponds and other places.

The people marked the locations of these places, left a path, and began to farm.

Chen Gang and Zhuang Qi, with a few people driving a plow, plowed all the ground.

Everyone cleaned out the grass roots and vines in the soil, piled them with the previous weeds into the retting pond at the foot of the mountain, and burned them collectively, which would then be the best fertilizer for fertilizing the fields.

The cleared stones were used by them to use the black mud from the river to build a simple toilet at the foot of the mountain on the back, so that everyone could use it nearby when working.

After that, Chen Gang and others plowed the land for the second and third time until the land was fully turned over and all the weeds and stones in the soil were cleared before they moved on to the next step.
